Kakashi

"Hey Killua, when do you think he'll be here?"

"Beats me. You would think he could bother being here on time." They had already been waiting four hours. Whoever their examiner was going to be, he would be sure to kill the guy the moment he had the chance. Being thirty minutes off schedule was fine but four hours? He better have a freaking good excuse.

"Hmm. Who do you think it'll be?"

"Probably just another old geezer. What do you think?"

"I don't know. Whoever it is, I hope they'll be strong. I'm excited to see what abilities they use here."

"Whatever happens, let's do this together then." He smirked and held up his fist.

"Right!" The two touched their knuckles together. They froze at the sound of swishing air and looked above them in surprise. A silver-haired man in a navy blue mask was peering down at them from above his particularly lecherous book.

Make-out Paradise? I really do not want to see what that book is about, Killua thought in disgust. So, he decided to do what he always did to those he didn't like: tease them. "Hey, old man, you're blocking out the sun with that perverted book of yours."

He only now seemed to take notice of them and held out the book in front of him. In a deadpan voice he responded, "I'll have you know that this isn't perverted. It is the single most amazing romance series out there, written by lord Jiraiya himself." He and tucked the book away in his pocket. "Now then, it seems you two are the ones I am supposed to test."

"Heeey Killua! Don't you think that cloud looks sort of like an ant?"

"Huh?" Killua looked towards the cloud. "It really does."

"I wonder how Kite and the others are doing." Gon pondered.

"Who knows."

"What are you two doing?!" Kakashi usually had a lot of patience; however, these two had somehow gotten on his nerve within the first five minutes of meeting him. They seemed like an ordinary, cheeky pair of brats.

"It's not our fault. You were the one who was late."

"Yeah. Killua was right about you being an old man too." Kakashi smoothed his hair and sighed deeply.

"I'll have you know I'm twenty-six. And you," He pointed towards Killua, "are one to talk. Your hair is even whiter than mine!"

Killua smirked and peered at the man from the corner of his eyes. "Yeah, but it's obvious what my age is. You, on the other hand, could easily be over forty. How we supposed to tell when you keep that mask on all the time?"

"Killua, I don't think we should fight him. He seems weak. Maybe the hokage will let us be tested by someone else."

"I'll have you know I'm one of the top shinobi in the village."

"Then hurry up and explain the rules." Killua demanded with a huff.

"I was getting there before you two decided to go cloud watching." Kakashi took out a pair of bells form his waist and held it in front of them. He got ready to speak when he heard Gon whispering in Killua's ear.

"I don't think he's twenty. He must be at least fifty." Kakashi gave up trying to correct them at this point. He just wanted to get the bell test over with. With the way they got along, he was sure they would pass the teamwork test just fine. After this was all over, heaven forbid he ran into them again.

Maybe I should make more of an effort to be on time…Kakashi thought absently. He shrugged his shoulders. Nah. It wasn't worth it.


A/N: Kakashi wasn't so hard to characterize, but I had difficulties characterizing Gon and Killua. Hopefully they aren't too OOC.
