Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I own nothing except the plot, Jinrou, and Ookami. :)

Jinrou POV

I woke up to Sakura and Sasuke talking. Well, Sakura yelling.

"Naruto! Get up! We have to get ready and find Jinrou before we go meet up with sensei!" Sakura yelled. I was still completely under the covers. I felt Naruto sit up.

"What time is it?" He asked groggily.

"Five thirty! Now hurry up!" Sakura screamed at him.

"Do you know where Jinrou is?" Sasuke asked. I slowly sat up and yawned.

"Right here." I said stifling a yawn with my hand. Sasuke and Sakura's face both had equal open mouthed shock. "Morning." I said as I got up and walked to the bathroom. They just stared after me as I cleaned my self up. When I came out I saw Sasuke was about ready to choke Naruto.

"Hey! What's gong on!?" I screamed. Everyone turned their attention to me.

"Nothing." They all mumbled.

"Whatever." I sighed grabbing my clothes and walking back into the bathroom. I put on my clothes and walking into the living room to see everybody was ready.

Damn, it was still dark outside. We went to the training grounds and waited. Eventually me and Sasuke got tired of waiting so we just sat down while Sakura and Naruto paced furiously. Me and Sasuke sat cross legged next to each other in a comfortable silence. Eventually, his head slumped and rested on my shoulder. I looked down to see his eyes closed with a peaceful expression on his face. I placed my head on top of his and decided to take a nap.

We were both woken up rudely to Sakura yelling at me.

"Damn it Jinrou! Leave Sasuke alone! Why do you insist on sticking to him?" She screamed at me. She must of noticed we fell asleep together.

"What?" I asked groggily.

"First you're all over Naruto, and now Sasuke!? What the hell is your problem!?" She screamed at me. Little thing I wanna mention, I do NOT appreciate being screamed at.

'That bitch!' Ookami yelled indignantly in my head. Sasuke was already sitting up and looked mad. I got up and got right in Sakura's face. I felt dark blue starting to creep into my grey eyes. I also felt my hair slowly getting white and blue streaks staring to come out.

"If I were you, I wouldn't be talking Sakura. You're the one who constantly bothers Sasuke trying to get his attention like the fucking fangirl you are. And then, you treat Naruto like a piece of shit for no reason. I, at least, am nice to them and they're nice to me." Naruto suddenly grabbed me and hugged me to him. My face was pressed against his chest and he whispered in my ear,

"Calm down, you're losing it and I don't want to loose a team member just because she had to go to a mental hospital." I felt my hair starting to go back to its original black and my eyes to their normal grey. I hugged him and muttered,

"Thank you." He stepped back and just smiled at me.

"No problem." He said grinning. Then Kakashi sensei showed up.

"TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH!" We all screamed at him at the same time.

"Sorry, I got lost one the path of life." He tried to explain. One second later...

"Yeah right!" We all yelled again.

"Well, I have a little test for you all." He pulled out three bells. "I have three bentos, one for each person who can get a bell. The person who fails, gets no breakfast and tied on the post." He told so nodding to where there were four wooden posts. "When I say go, you can use whatever tactic you want as you try to get the bells. GO!" He yelled at us. Naruto made a bunch of clones while I made the hand movements and turned into dark blue smoke. I appeared behind Sasuke, he was in a tree.

"Hey." I whispered in his ear. He almost fell out of the tree in surprise.

"What are yo doing, Jinrou?" He asked in a hushed whisper. I giggled a bit.

"I can't believe you didn't figure it out. This is a test of teamwork, that's why he only has three bells. To purposely turn us against each other. If together we can at least get one, then we'll just split the bento. Deal?" I asked. He shook my hand.

"Deal." I told him my plan.

"Now. You distract him while I pump my chakra, them I'll pin him down and grab the bells." I said. He looked thoughtful.

"Are you sure you can pin him down?" He asked uncertain. I just stared at him.

"Have some trust in me, would you?" He just smiled.

"Alright." We put our plan into action. While all this was happening, Naruto was doing his own thing in trying to get the bells and Sakura was around trying to look for Sasuke, key word being "try". (Sasuke did the same thing as in the anime...)

I felt a big chakra rush from Jinrou.

'Thanks' I whispered in my mind.

'No problem' she whispered back. I charged my chakra as Sasuke sparred with sensei. When I saw an opening I jumped in. I took my chakra and materialized it so was solid and made it pin him down. It wrapped around his arms, legs, and torso. I made sure it covered his mouth, before walking forward. I grabbed all of the bells and called out,

"You guys can come out now! We've got the bells!" Kakashi was still on the floor pinned down. Sakura and Naruto came forward. I gave Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura a bell each, then let sensei up. He just stared at me.

"You can make your chakra solid?" I slowly nodded my head.

"Well, thanks to Jinrou and Sasuke, you all get breakfast. But not Naruto. I saw him try to cheat and get to the bentos before anyone else even had a chance. You guys better not feed him. If you do, you immediately fail." Kakashi said with a grin that can only be described as cheshire. Naruto got tied to a pole and we all got a bento each. Kakashi disappeared in a puff of grey smoke.i started to take a bite then looked at Naruto. I chewed then turned to him.

"Open up." I commanded with chopsticks full of food. Sakura started bitching.

"Jinrou! What the hell are you doing!? You can't feed him, you'll fail!" She yelled at me. I just stared at her.

"So you're saying, you would keep yourself in good health and well being, even if it meant letting one of your team mates go hungry?" I asked with an emotionless face. She seemed shocked that I would speak to her that way. I turned back to Naruto.

"Now open up before I have to mouth feed you." I said smirking. He blushed and quickly opened his mouth. He took a bite, a took a bite. When I was going to give him his second bite, everything got dark. The clouds turned grey and there was dark smoke everywhere.

"WHAT DID I SAY!?" He screamed. I stood up and got in his face.

"Naruto is my team member, if I have to get in trouble so that he can be okay, then so be it. He was hungry, I had food. What did you expect me to do? Just sit there and watch my team mate be hungry? I think not!" I yelled at him.

"You pass." He said with a smile. I did a double take.

"What?"

"You pass. If you had been like anyone else, you would have let Naruto just watch you eat. You pass." He smiled and gave me thumbs up. I was so happy, I couldn't help it. I tackled sensei in a bear hug. He seemed surprised at first but eventually returned the hug.

"Let's all go home." He said. They began walking away, but Naruto was still tied to the post. I stayed back and untied him. He smiled at me.

"Thanks." He said.

"Naruto, it was just a bento. Don't get all bent out of shape." I said even though I knew he was grateful for more than the bento. We walked home together in the glow of the sunset.

Okay, really cliché ending, but whatever. Please remember to review and tell me how I'm doing so far! :)
