Sakura and I walked to the academy next day, and this time just as unofficial friends. We had to meet up with Sasuke and my dad (who were both already there) in our old classroom like everyone else trying to take our Jonin's test.

"Hey," said Sakura, I turned to her. "Um, I'm sorry about yesterday; I thought you'd be okay with it."

I still kinda hated Sakura, like everyone else, so I gave her my best reply, "...oh... but I'm not gay, nor attracted to you at all. Why would I like it?" I found my voice and commenced my plan to get her on the same side as me, "Look Sakura; I've had a bone to pick with you ever since you've had a bone to pick with me. It's been a while and I'm tired of it. Can we just be friends?"

"Y-yeah." she said.

I smiled at her and said, "... Okay then. I guess it's official. From now on were friends."

Later...

Sakura and I saw Sasuke sitting on the school's doorstep, looking glum. There was something wrong, but I had enough on my mind to worry about a backstabbing jerk like him...

"Um, hey Sasuke." I said happily. I was faking my happiness, but if we're going to work together I needed to get that lump to cheer up. "How are you today?"

"Oh. Um..." he said nervously. I think he wanted to tell me something important, but he knew he couldn't. "Hey, I'm really sorry about what happened the other day. I... I still want to be your boyfriend."

"I don't know..." I said; I was going to continue, but I was interrupted by Kiba smacking me on the back.

"Heh-heh. I hear your dad is your sensei. You're going to need a lot of skill, which you don't have." he said.

I turned around while rolling my eyes and said, "Typical Kiba. What do you want?"

It may not seem like it, but Kiba and I are really good friends. When I saw him blush and act weird, I noticed something was up. He scratched his cheek with his pinky and said, "Oh, uh, I don't know."

I face-palmed and snapped at him on the shoulder, "Jeez Kiba I thought you'd have good reason to talk to me."

Don't get me wrong, I'm usually a bit timid, but Kiba was a good friend who I was comfortable with. Remember though, I'm still slightly timid.

I put my hands on my hips and scowled at him. "Sorry!" said Kiba, "All I wanted was to ask you out on a date since you're up for grab-I mean, free."

My heart sank. I didn't know what to do. I mean, I know Sasuke cheated on me, but we've been friends longer then Kiba and I have. I looked at this as a dilemma. I turned around to Sasuke and gave him this as a reply, "Sorry bud, but you've let me down, so now it's my turn." I perked up and turned back to Kiba to say, "Okay!" I said, "So, when?"

"Tomorrow. I'll call you tomorrow." said Kiba shocked. He probably didn't think I'd say yes, so he didn't plan a time. I rolled my eyes and walked back to a horror struck Sasuke and Sakura. Something about their faces told me I did something really wrong.

"Hey, guys... why don't we go inside now? I'm pretty sure our sensei's are in there already." suggested Kiba. We followed his pointing lead and went though the door to our old classroom.

Walking into the classroom, seeing the nervous faces made me feel as though I should be nervous. Why? Maybe like Kiba said my dad would cream us. I didn't know much, but I just knew this might be a challenge.

"Hey sweetie." said my dad, walking over to team 7. "Since we're all here let's go." he lined us up and laid his hands on us and the next thing we knew we were in the park. We all glanced at each other and eventually, when we were done with such, we stared at my dad.

Now, he spoke words, but them being so simple we did not understand and questioned them. "You three; attack me, now."

"What? Sensei, I mean, we—" Sakura stopped at the start of the war that would commence. My dad leaped teleported and hid, while Sasuke, Sakura and I were left to figure things out.

"So, now what?" I said. Then I got an idea my brain that I somehow magically thought up; a plan. As soon as I raised my finger and opened my mouth Sasuke and Sakura propelled off the ground, hid in the trees and left me with the werewolf that is my dad. The next moment a hail of shuriken and kunai impaled me, but luckily I used the substitution technique in time. My dad came out the next second to say, "Hey, you alright?" That was a mistake; I zoomed on each of the trees coming up behind him and used his own special kunai I stole against him. It lumbered toward my dad (I was the worst kunai thrower of my class) like the beast it is.

"Nice try!" said my dad, he teleported to the kunai in mid flight and caught it. He used his wind (Aang style!) the come to a soft landing when he fell 2 meters off the ground.

I heard whispers below.

"Shouldn't we help her?"

"No! Now shut up or you'll blow- Look out!"

My dad quickly pulled out more kunai and started throwing them at the bush. Sasuke pushed off the ground with chakra-control? Anyway, he seized Sakura by the shoulders and brought her with him. They dodged the incoming kunai and evidently fell to the ground. Sasuke signaled me to go out into the field to face my dad and we did.

"All three of us will fight you now. Come and get us." said Sasuke.

My dad chuckled, "Hm, well, what if I say you pass?"

"WHAT?" said the three of us; we didn't know what was going on, but we were happy.

"You pass!" said my dad happily, "Let me explain. The simple truth to this exercise was to get you to work together. You did so, therefore, you pass!"

"Well... Now what?" I said, shocked in total awe of my team.

"We start missions tomorrow! Meet me at meet the Hokage's Tower at 1:00 o'clock and then we'll go from there."
