Sins and Sunshine

Chapter 7: Team 7, huh?

(A/N: Omg I just noticed that chapter seven is about the beginning of team 7!)

The next day we had to meet again at the academy for orientation and miraculously after the finals my alarm clocks work again.

I was sitting on my favourite seat in the back next to the window, Sasuke sitting in front of me. Yeah, our bento-for-seat trade's still valid. It was still early so we were the only ones in the classroom.

"Today's the last time we'll wait for the others like this." I uttered hoping to start a kind of normal conversation with Sasuke.

"Hn." was his pre-eminent answer. First try fail, but I won't give up this easily!

"I'll miss our time at the academy."

"Hn."

"I wonder how the team arrangements will be."

"Hn."

"I heard our new senseis are going to be Jonins. The training will certainly be hard."

"Hn."

"…" This was going to be harder than expected.

"After this I'll have to go grocery shopping. Since Naruto's making me cooking for him lately my frigde is always empty."

"Hn."

"Today on the way here I was this squirrel…"

"Hn."

A vein popped on my forehead.

"You know, today your hair looks more duck butt-like than ever."

"What?"

Surprised he perked up and messed with his hair to make it look a bit less duck butt-like. Seeing this I couldn't hold back any longer and started roaring with laughter.

"Pfuahahahaha! S-Sorry but I c-couldn't resist." I told him between chuckles.

"Well you always answered the same way so I wanted to test if you even listened to me. Please don't be mad." I explained to escape his ultimate glare of doom. Someone here doesn't like to get laughed at~!

Slowly the other students came. Surprisingly of my friends was Naruto the first to appear.

"Morning, Minari-chan." He greeted me happily then sat down next to Sasuke. Why of all things we wanted he wanted to sit next to Sasuke, I don't know…

"Morning Naruto-kun." I greeted back.

"Scram, dope." Sasuke snarled at the blonde.

"Make me, teme!" retorted Naruto. Then the two males started a glaring contest.

Somehow that scene looks familiar… Déjà vu?

"Morning." Shikamaru said and wanted to sit down next to me than noticed a certain blonde.

"What are you doing here Naruto? This isn't for dropouts, you can't be here unless you graduate."

"Oh yeah? You see this, you see this? Open your eyes, Shikamaru it's a regulation headband. Now we are training together, how do you like that?"

Shikamaru only shrugged his shoulders then sat down. The sound of trampling came from the hallway and shortly after tried Pinky and Blondy to enter the class at the same time but got stuck in the doorframe. When they finally got in they started bickering for who was the first entering.

Technically it didn't really bother me until Pinky stood in front of Naruto, who looked at her, blushing. She merely shoved him away then asked Sasuke if she could sit next to him. Poor Naruto fell in love with the wrong girl. The while I watched the fangirls fighting for the seat next to Sasuke. Then Naruto crouched at the desk in front of Sasuke and graled at him. 2nd round of glaring-contest start!

If they move closer for 2 more cm they'd kiss, I thought and giggled at the thought. As if this would ever happen…

In this moment stretched the boy in the first row and pushed Naruto who landed exactly with his mouth on Sasuke's. Coincidentally in this exact moment I had my camera out and could make a photo of them kissing. What a nice souvenir – or blackmail photo if I need it someday.

After recovering from the shock they shoved off each over and looked like they were about to vomit, but unluckily for Naruto only now he noticed the deadly aura behind him. Because there were the fangirls who – unlike me – weren't amused at all from this. So Naruto got the beating of his life and only Iruka-sensei entering the room could save him from being killed by those furious girls.

The teacher held a little speech and as he mentioned that there were going to be three people each in a group, we all started to listen carefully. Of course, before no one listened. Who wanted to listen to some boring speech?

Blondy, who sat next to Shikamaru (hell, why?), provoked Pinky, who got to sit next to Sasuke after all, who might get to be paired with the black haired.

Then I zoned of until Iruka-sensei started to announce the squads we'd be in. Well, I still didn't listen until the names of my friends were called.

"Squad 7: Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto and I looked up.

"Sakura Haruno." Naruto was leaping of joy while Pinky sank down on the desk looking all depressed.

"And Sasuke Uchiha." Pinky cheered while Naruto became depressed. Then he started arguing with sensei why he had to be in the same team with the Uchiha.

"Sasuke had the best score of all the graduating students, Naruto you had the worst scores. And I haven't even finished speaking yet. In this squad will also be Minari Takanaki."

"What?" Pinky screamed.

"Any problems here?" Iruka-sensei asked.

"Why does SHE of all people has to be in the same squad as Sasuke and me?" she whined and pointed furiously at me. Pointing at people, how rude. Why does she hold such a grudge against me? It's not like I ever did something to her… Okay, cancel that last sentence, but still.

"Because the number of students that passed was off so we had to form a group of four."

"And why does she have to be in the group with Sasuke?"

"Because I say so."

"And why-"

"If you don't like it you're free to leave and leave and repeat the school year." Finally Pinky schut up and Sensei could continue to announce the other groups.

In squad 8 were Hinata, Kiba and Shino – I was really happy for Hinata to be in a group with friends, so she won't be so sad about not being in a team with Naruto. Shikamaru and Choji were in squad 10 together with Blondy. Poor them for being in the same situation as me, having some fangirl in the team, though we're better off because their fangirl hasn't her object of love in eyesight.

"Aww, I wanted to be in the same squad like Minari." Kiba whined.

"At least you don't have to be in one team with Ino." Shikamaru complained.

"Or with Pinky." I added.

"What do you mean with 'Pinky'?" bickered Pinky.

"Asked the girl with pink hair." I retorted languidly.

"Silence!" sensei shouted.

"After lunch you'll meet your new Jonin teachers. Until then class is dismissed." That was how our last classes with Iruka-sensei ended…

Lunch time…

We wanted to spend our last lunch together at the roof like always. Guess, I'll really miss those days…

"I don't get it. Why does Sakura-chan hate me like this?" Naruto whined. I tried to comfort him but still don't get it was he likes about this pinkhaired know-it-all-bitch.

"She doesn't hate you Naruto-kun." I said while patting his back.

"You saw how she reacted when Iruka-sensei announced we're in the same team."

"I guess she's still mad at you for kissing Sasuke." I said and snickered at the blonde grimacing.

"But she's always like this."

"What doesn't mean she hates you."

"Yes, it does!"

"Did she say so?"

"No, she didn't, but-"

"As long as she doesn't say so it's all right."

"You really think so?" he looked at me hopefully.

"Of course. I'm a girl, I know things like that. And if you don't believe me, go and ask her yourself."

"You're right. I'll ask her right away, believe it!" With that he ran off to find Pinky.

"I better wouldn't have said that…" I mused.

"He won't just go and ask her right in the face, will he?" Kiba asked, unsure of the blonde's mental state.

"He couldn't be that stupid… right?"

While we were happily betting if Naruto really was this stupid, Hinata was sitting in an edge and drew circles with her finger on the ground.

"Don't worry, Hinata-chan. Pinky really can't stand him. When Naruto finds out he'll soon enough give up on her." I soothed the girl.

"But I still want to know what he tries to pull off…" Kiba mumbled.

All teams met their new sensei. All except for us. So to punish the new sensei for being late Naruto stuck a blackboard eraser in the door crack.

"You're asking for trouble. You know, you shouldn't do that." Pinky lectured him.

"Our teacher's a Jonin. You think he'd fall for that?" Sasuke said looking irritated.

"Well, with my luck we'll just some idiot that'd fall just for that." I replied.

In this moment the door opened and some man came in. However he wasn't ninja enough to evade the eraser. Naruto: 1, sensei: 0.

The man was wearing Jonin clothes and a mask. His headband covered his left eye and his silver hair stood diagonally into the air. How did he do that without hair gel? Never heard of physical law?

Naruto laughed at the Jonin for falling for this prank, Pinky started to suck up to him, Sasuke just sat there doing nothing and I just sat at the desk and confirmed my apprehensions.

"What did I say?"

The new teacher looked at us.

"My first impression is" he said "I don't like you guys."

We went outside to make some self introduction to get a first (or 2nd, how you take it) impression of each other.

"Tell me your likes, dislikes, your dreams for the future and things like that." Sensei told us. But because no one wanted to say anything he had to start first.

"Well, my name is Hatake Kakashi. I have no desire to tell you my likes and dislikes… dreams for the future, hmm… and I have lots of hobbies."

"So all he told us is his name?" Sakura stated and we agreed with her. Well, Naruto and I did, Sasuke didn't seem to care at all.

The Naruto started introducing himself.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. What I like is cup ramen. What I like even more is when Iruka-sensei pays for my ramen. What I dislike is waiting 3 minutes for the ramen to cook. My dream is to surpass the hokage and then have the people of this village acknowledge my existence. Hobbies… pranks I guess."

After him was Pinky's turn.

"I'm Haruno Sakura. What I like… I mean the person I like is *glancing at Sasuke* Uh my hobby is uh… *more glancing at Sasuke while giggling* My dream for the future is *starts to squeal* What I dislike is Naruto!" (Well finally got your answer there, Naruto-kun…)

… Okay I guess everyone know what she was thinking. Someone should tell her that raping is illegal…

Next was Sasuke.

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. There are lots of things I dislike and I don't really like anything and… I can't really call it a dream. But I have an ambition. The resurrection of my clan and to kill a certain man."

Wow, I just felt some murderous vibe coming from him… Well, then was my turn.

"My name's Takanaki Minari. I like to relax and pissing off fangirls." Here I felt a glare from a certain pinkhaired fangirl that tried burning holes in my body and I swore I saw Sasuke smiling for a second there. "What I don't like… I hate people that fear something just because they don't know it and for that try to destroy it. My dream for the future is finding a place to call home and the happiness of a person really dear to me…"

Everyone stared at me buffled and I smiled uncomfortably. Did I say something wrong?

Then sensei began to speak again.

"So far to the introductions. Tomorrow we'll start our duties as Shinobi."

"Yeah! What kinds of duties?" Naruto asked enthusiastically.

"First we are going to do something with just the four of us. Survival training."

Pinky and Naruto started complaining about they had enough training in academy and all.

"What kind of training?" I asked to shut the two of them up.

Then Kakashi-sensei started laughing. Suspicious…

"What's so funny sensei?" Pinky asked warily.

"When I tell you this you guys are totally going to freak out. Of the 31 graduates only 9 will be chosen to become Genin. The rest will be sent back to the academy. This training is a very difficult exam with a failure rate of over 66%."

Naruto then really freaked out but sensei just told us to bring all the shinobi tools we have for tomorrow.

"Oh, and skip breakfast, you'll might throw up."

Okay, that was it. Most of the spoken text was from the anime or the manga but the next time I guess I won't copy it word for word, too troublesome… I just noticed something again… In the manga Kakashi said there were 27 graduates but there are also 10 teams, so either there are 30 graduates or 9 teams, right?

Curious about Minari's past? Mwahaha you'll still have to wait for that, hyahahaha *laughs hysterically*

Please review if you liked it. If you didn't like it, still review please^^

"Oi, Minari-chan! Can you help me?" Naruto shouted when he saw me approaching. Great Naruto. Keep shouting so Kakashi-sensei will find me!
