Chapter 3- Teamwork

So yeah, Kakashi is stronger than I thought. Especially since I didn't use my Kekkei Genkai and all... now we're both on the ground, too tired to move, and breathing hard.

"Can we stop for now?" I asked between pants.

"Yeah," Kakashi agreed as I closed my eyes. "Let's go home."

"Naw," I said trying to breathe normaly. "I'll catch you later."

I wasn't that tired from the fight anymore, oh no, I'm exhausted. We've been fighting all day, and we've got to come tomorrow... I just want to sleep... But I see now why I need to gain his trust... He is a worthy oponent.

Now, what the hell... why isntt there ground beside me? I'm moving up and down....

"Kakashi?" I asked opening my eyes halfway to see Kakashi peering down at me. Aww... dude's a softie and couldn't let a girl on the floor. I smirked as I cuddled to him, and he looked away with a small grunt. I shall make this gay dude as uncomfortable as I can. His gayness is pretty fun now, I can do the littlest of things and he'll turn away slightly uncomfortable.

"Don't worry," I muttered closing my eyes as I smirked amused. "Your secret is safe with me."

"What secret?" He mumbled curiously.

"You know," I said barely knowing the words that were leaving my lips. "That you're... gay."

"Kaori," I heard someone scream making me grunt and bury my face in my pillow.

"Leave me alone," I muttered annoyed.

"It's time to go!" Kakashi insisting opening the door to my room.

"Shut up you batard!" I said as I tried to sleep.

"Since you where asleep, I bought you clothes-"

"WHAT!" I said sitting up instantly. "NO! You probably have terrible fashion sense!"

Kakashi's eye widened as they landed on me, who was now standing in front of him, and he looked away.

"Just put them on already..." He mutered coughing while extending his arm with the clothes.

I looked at myself to find I was in my undergarments. I don't really care, I'm pretty confident about my body. However I am a bit annoyed that he turns away. Puh-lease, I have a wonderful body, if you weren't gay you'd want it. Yep, I'm annoyed his gayness wont allow him to appreciate my body.

"Kakashi did what did you-"

"It wasn't me! I put you to bed fully clothed I swear!"

I sweatdropped. "I know that... I probably did it myself. The shirt was big so it probaby fell off, and te shorts where uncomfortable."

"Then what were you-"

"I was going to ask what did you buy for me to wear..." I said it slowly, because I really think he is stupid. 

"Oh," He said looking away, "Here."

"Who would've known! You have good taste!" I said as I took in a black tanktop that reached a little below my ribs, the red shorts that reached above my knees, and instead of normal ninja shoes some black and red combat boots that reached my knees. The shorts where a bit long, so I made them miny shorts. I changed into it and added bandages in arms.  Now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense that he found perfect clothes! He IS gay after all. This makes me think of how good it'll be to have a gay friend... What am I even saying, I don't do friends. Damn this emotions.

"Let's go," Kakashi said as he exited the house.

"Stupid gay," I muttered as I simply appeared in the training grounds.

"You're late!" the idiot and lovergirl shouted.

"Sorry," Kakashi said just behind me, making me jump a bit in surprise. DAMN What's with me? "But, a black cat crossed my path, so I had to take the long way... Well, let's get started. I have two bells here," he said showing two bells. "And Kaori-san will have this one golden bell. The task is simple, if you take my bells you pass, if you take Kaori's bell you will not only pass, but I'll treat you to dinner... and she won't be able to use jutsus."

"Easy enough," I said taking the bell. "If you take it from me, I'll also train you in extra hours and you'll easily be the best ninja in this squad... man, you'll be the best genin in Konoha!"

"If you can't get them by noon you go without lunch. You'll be tied to a post and watch as I eat mine in front of you." Kakashi said as he looked at me amused. He knows if they can't take them from him, they won't be able to take them from me. Unless of course, they first take Kakashi out together, and then once assured two will pass, come at me all on one. Of course, that ain't happening. The word 'teammate' is not really registered in their minds, from what I saw yesterday.

"Wait a minute," lovergirl said. "There's three of us. Why do you only have two bells, when Kaori-sensei's bell seems more like a prize?"

"Well, Kaori-san's bell is pretty hard to take, so at least one of you will be tied to the post" Kakashi said smiling. "Then again, all three of you could be disqualified. You can use any weapons, but let me tell you, if you're not prepared to kill us you won't be able to take the bells."

"Those weapons are dangerous sensei!" lovergirl said. Who does she think she's talking to?

"Especially since you couldn't even dodge that eraser!" the idiot said.

"Class clowns are the weakest links, you can safely ignore them. Lowest scores... losers. When I say start you can begin."

The idiot charged at Kakashi, making him end up with a kunai to his neck. 

"Well, you came at me with the full intention of destroy... so... how can I say this? I'm actually starting to like you guys." Kakashi said.

"I'm not," I admitted. "You're all a bunch of annoying midgets."

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A MIDGET!" the idiot said, now coming at me. I smirked as I waited for the last second and jumped, landing on top of him.

"You," I said simply. This is booring.

Kakashi sweatdropped as I stood up and Naruto looked at me with wide-eyes.

"Get ready... and... Start!" Kakashi said, as everyone hid. Excep,t of course, the idiot.

I saw the emo dude in a branch, and decided to scare him.

"Hello Uchiha," I whispered in his ear as he turned an tried to stab me with a kunai. I apeared in the groumd and tyied the bell around my wrist. "Are you going to fight me?"

Apparently, an answer is to cool for the kid, since he attacked without a word. I easily dodged all his movements. This is my perfect excuse!

"Pay attention to your surroundings!" I scolded from behind, cutting a bit by his shouled. He turned around, but I was already in the other side. Look at that, I have emotions after all, I'm furios. He reminds me so much of his brother. "Faster!"

We were at it for a while, with him trying to take me down instead of the bell.

"You had an opening! You could've taken the bell!" I scolded as he grunted. 

"Stop telling me how to do things!"

"How do you expect to kill a man if you can't even land a hit on a girl?" I mocked right next to his face.

He started doind jutsus, but he never got me.

"You're not trying hard enough!" I scolded yet again, cutting his hand as he reached for my wrist. "You're a brat. Pathetic."

"SHUT UP!" Sasuke growled as he ran at me and yet again failed to damage me.

"You have bored me." I stated calmly, stoping his kunai with just my chakra-coated finger. It didn't even scratch my skin, even if he was pushing with all his might.

"Kaori!" Kakashi said surprised, finally coming out from his hidingplace. "That's enough."

I flicked the kunai away as I glared at the Uchiha.

"You're a disgrace to Uchihas," I said as I turned around.

I spotted the idiot tyed to a post and I sat in front of him. Why? Why would I correct the kid? Why couldn't I help but feel the need to help him? Why do I feel this need to help Sasuke, when I hate his brother? I know Itachi would've wanted me to take care of him... he told me about him, hen we dated. Why so I feel fond of a kid whose brother only used me?

The bell rang, and everyone came towards us. Everyone's stomachs growled.

"Oh-uh, Stomachs growling that's too bad. Oh, by the way, about this excersice, I won't send any of you back to the academy" Kakashi said with his oh-so-famous closed eye smile. ugh.

"What? I passed, all I did was faint and fall over... you get points for that?"lovergirl asked. I glared at her, and she flinched visibly. Does she think we're morons?

"That means all three of us-?" the idiot started.

"Well, the three of you are being dropped from the program." Kakashi announced. "Permanently."

"Drop us from the program? You said we were to go back to the academy! You can't change your mind!" the idiot yelled angrily.

"But you were a disgrace to ninja. You act like brats. Well, can't blame you, you are just brats." I said sighin broed.

The emo Uchiha came at me, and I simply flicked him to the ground, sitting on him with my foot on ihs face.

"You should've expected this Sasuke. I've been telling you all day, but you still make this simple mistakes. You just proved me right," I stated angrily. Why can't he learn?

"All you think is of you! You don't know what it means to be a ninja!" Kakashi said, after his eyes widened at my anger. "You think it's a game huh? Why do you think we put you on teams? Did you consider that for one moment? "

"I don't know what you mean!" lovergirl said confused.

"I mean you didn't realize what this excercise is all about. Not even close."

"What it's about?" the idiot asked.

"Yes. That's what determined wether you pass or fail.Use your heads, three people on a team. Why do you think we would do that?"

"How are we supposed to know-"

"Well, you would know if you had a brain!" I snapped. "TEAMS. TEAMMATES. TEAMWORK!"

"Exactly. If all four of you would've come at me you might have been able to take one of the bells." Kakashi said annoyed. "Anyway, It's over."

"But you only had two bells, and one that was impossible to take, according to you, " lovergirl said. "If we had worked in team work then there could've been a team conflict!"

"That's what I wanted, To put you against each other. I wanted to see if you could put the squad ahead of yourselves." Kakashi said. "A genin should have a natural instinct for teamwork, but you, it never even crossed your mind. Sakura, you obsessed about Sasuke who was gone while Naruto was right in front of you and you wouldn't even help him. Naruto, you do everything on your own. And you Sasuke, thought the other were so far beneath you that they were worthless. You even thought you were so good, you could defeat Kaori, just because you wanted to prove you where better. You should all know that when indiviaduals put themselves before their team it leads to death. For example, Sakura kill Naruto now or Sasuke dies."

"On every mission, your life is on the line." Kakashi said.

He then talked about the KIA stone, and I looked away bored. 

"Alright, I would give you three another chance. But you'll only have three hours this time. Eat up lunch now to build up strenght, but Naruto doesn't get any. It's your punishment for breaking the rules and trying to eat by yourself. And if anyone tried to feed him, that person would immediatley fail. I make the rules, you follow them, got it?"

Kakashi left and tI followed. We stood there watching while making sure they couldn't sense us. I knew what he was up to.

At last, they offered Naruto food.

"YOU!" KAkashi shouted, "You broke the rules. I hope you're ready for the punishment." Dark clouds gathered in the skies as he did heand signs. "Any last words?"

They starting declaring they were a team.

"You pass." Kakashi said.

"Huh?"

"You. Pass."

"What do you mean? What did we do?" Sakura asked.

"You acted as a team," Kakashi said. "In a ninja world those who break the rules are scum... but those who abandon their friends, are worse than scum."

I loked at him surprised.

"He's kind of cool..." Naruto said.

"The excercise it's over. Everyone passes. Team seven starts his first mission tomorrow!" Kakashi said, giving a thumbsup.
