I'll Show You Insanity

Chapter 12

Yuma was put on team 7 with Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke. She liked Naruto, hated Sakura, and hasn't quite made up her mind about Sasuke.

However, all that was put to the back of her mind as she wondered what, exactly, grampa Saru wanted to talk about.

"Ah, there you are," the Hokage said, smiling. "I have a surprise for you."

"A... Surprise.....?" Yuma asked. She glanced at the large, black clad man in the corner. "Who's he?" She asked, pointing at the man.

"That's Ibiki Morino. He's the head interrogator of the village."

Yuma automatically tensed. "Why's he here?"

Ibiki raise an eyebrow at the small girl, but the Hokage just chuckled. "He's here for something else, I promise. Now, come here."

Yuma obediently walked to his desk and he handed her a black notebook.

"What is it?" Yuma asked innocently, flipping through the blank pages.

The Hokage chuckled. "A sketchbook. It's kind of a therapeutic tool. You draw in it."

"What do I draw?"

"Anything you feel like. Whatever crosses your mind."

"Oh! Okay!" Yuma was excited, she wanted the get started right away.

"You should go meet your team, Yuma," the Hokage said.

"Okay! Bye grampa! Bye baldy!"

She was gone in a flash.

"Baldy?!" Ibiki demanded as the Hokage gave an amused laugh.

Yuma ran into the classroom and sat down in a seat at the back, where her best friend Shika usually sat. She'd Miss him, but she was sure they'd see each other again.

She took out her sketchbook and began to draw something similar to a pineapple.

Sasuke Uchiha approached her. "Fight me," he ordered.

She barely glanced at him. "Nah, I'm drawing."

Sasuke's fists clenched in anger. How dare this new girl reject him as if he were a mere fly?!

"I demand you fight me," he repeated.

Yuma glared up at him in annoyance, a shudder ran down his spine as he felt a terrifying aura. Bloodlust. Something told him that if this continued, he'd be in serious danger.

"I said no, boy," Yuma said, her voice colder than ice. Naruto stood, frozen in fright atop his stool, inches away from setting a trap for their tardy sensei, and Sakura was trembling in fear for her Sasuke, but not daring to step in lest Yuma turn her rage on her. "You're not worth my time."

Sasuke stood there in utter shock and slight fear. Never, ever has someone, especially a girl, spoken so coldly to him. Well, other than him. Sasuke had subconsciously began shaking, unable to look away from Yuma's intense gaze. He felt as if he'd be dead before he even thought about twitching.

Yuma broke the eye contact and continued her drawing. Immediately, the pressure in the air diminished to nothing. The others could move again. Sasuke backed up, Sakura sat in a seat with a sound mixed between relief and terror, and Naruto set his trap, albeit with less spirit than before.

Then, a gloved hand pulled open the door and a silver head of hair appeared. The eraser bounced harmlessly off Kakashi's head, but no one laughed. He rose an eyebrow at the tense atmosphere as he bent down to pick up the eraser.

"What did I miss?" He mumbled, scratching his neck.

"Bakashi!" Yuma cheered, beaming at him.

"What'd you do, Yuma?" He sighed.

She pouted. "Hey, why are you blaming me? He's the one who challenged me to a fight." She jabbed a finger at Sasuke, and Kakashi wondered if the boy was really as bright as they say. Especially after he had warned them.

"Well," he said wearily. "To the roof for introductions."

***

The introductions began smoothly enough. It began with Kakashi, who liked some things, disliked some things, wasn't sure of his hobby, and never really thought about his dreams. Okay, simple. Not very informative, but simple.

Then, it moved to Naruto, who liked ramen, disliked waiting on it, was a prankster in his spare time, and dreamed to become Hokage. Alright, unique, absolutely different.

Next was Sakura, who liked a... And disliked Naruto. Who.... Well..... And dreamed of..........

Well, just about as informative as Kakashi unless you speak the language of fangirl squee.

And then sasuke, who liked very little, and disliked a lot. Who had no hobby, and dreamed of killing a certain someone. Way to go tiger, you got some real straight priorities.

And finally, well... I really can't sum up what Yuma said, so I'll type what she said and let you decipher it.

"I like blood, killing, and watching the light slowly drain from my enemy's eyes," said the grey haired girl, swaying side to side as if listening to a song that now one else could hear. "Oh, and I like talking to Shika-kun and Cho-kun," she added as an afterthought. "I dislike when my victims die too quickly, onions, sacrificing rituals, and people trying to kill me for no good reason. My hobbies are thinking up new torture and killing techniques. And my dream...." She paused, seeming to think and looking confused. "Ah! My dream is to make anyone who hurts me or the people I like suffer in the most painful and gruesome way possible!"

She seemed satisfied enough with her introduction, and didn't even notice that her teammates had been scooting away from her not-so-slowly.

Kakashi watched on with a mixed expression, not really sure if he should be amused or concerned. He decided on indifferent, figuring it'd save him some trouble later on in life.

>Meanwhile<

Shikamaru had zoned out as his team went about their introductions, so he hadn't realized it was his turn until his sensei, Asuma, had waved a hand before the boy's face.

"Earth to Nara," the smoking man joked. "Mind telling us a bit about yourself?"

"Oh, sure, I like sleep, cloud watching, playing shogi, and..." He paused as a mental image of Yuma flitted through his mind.

"And?" Asuma pressed patiently.

"Nothing..." Shikamaru mumbled, looking to the side. But Asuma caught the pink cheeks and distant(well, more so than usual) expression.

"I see, it's a girl, isn't it?"

"It's probably Yuma," Choji cut in, pausing mid-munch to grin.

"Hey!" Shikamaru yelled indignantly. But, since he couldn't truthfully deny it, he huffed. "What a drag..."

Ino was staring at him incredulously. "How can you like her?! She's insane! Literally!" She turned to their amused sensei. "I've heard that she murdered her entire village, and that she nearly killed a man in the street the other night!"

"That's true," Asuma sighed, nodding.

"I mean, she came from an insane asylum! Who could murder their family?!"

"You don't know what really happened, so shut up!" Shikamaru snapped uncharacteristically. But he caught himself and added in a low voice, "Troublesome girl... She's not as bad as everyone thinks..."

"Yeah, she's really nice to me," Choji added in through a mouthful of chips. "And she taught me the eight most vital spots in the body!"

"You don't need to know that yet!" Ino yelled in a panic. "The girl is a lunatic! Why did the Hokage even let her loose!?! She should be caged up like all the other wild animals!"

Asuma, seeing a fire light in Shikamaru's and Choji's eyes, decided to step in.

"Hey, hey you three..." He said with an awkward grin, waving his hands in a 'calm down' motion. "The Hokage had his reasons and I'm sure they'll work out alright. However, there's no reason to fight over the topic. If Shikamaru's got a thing for the bad girl type, it's not our place to judge."

"Hey! I don't-"

"Now who wants to go out for some barbecue?"
