Finding Out

"Sasuke, point A."

"This is Sakura, I'm at point B."

...

"Naruto, point C, believe it!"

"A little slow there, Naruto." Sasuke's voice crackled through the headset. I could literally hear the smirk in his voice.

"Shut up, teme!"

"Hey, where's Kasumi-san?" Bakakashi's voice muttered lowly. Oh, right, I was supposed to give my post. Oops.

"Uh, angel with a shotgun, reporting for duty at appointed post, sir!" I said as awkwardly as possible.

"...What's a shotgun, Kasumi-can?" Naruto asked. I sighed and shook my head, not like he could see it or anything.

"When the mission's over, I show you the one I have at my apartment, Naru-kun."

"I want to see it!" Sakura said desperately.

"Bubblegum, the only thing you need to see is a water fountain. You thirsty." I said as sassily as I could manage.

"I'm not thirsty..." She trailed off, thinking about if she needed water or not.

"Wow, for a rather intelligent being you sure are dense." I deadpanned.

"Thank you for the compliment!" Sakura chirped back happily.

"Can we get back to the mission, please!?" Bakakashi nearly shouted.

"Oi, Bakakashi. Hush up; we're on a very crucial mission that demands our full attention, patience and silence. Psh, Naru-kun, can you believe this guy?"

"Nope!"

"I knew this little demon would be the death of me..." Bakakashi whispered in despair before clearing his throat. "How far is everyone from the target?"

"Five meters." Sasuke said calmly.

"Five meters as well." Sakura chirped.

"Only because you're right behind Uchiha, you thirsty bubblegum." I muttered.

"How did you-?"

"Naruto, five meters away, believe it!"

...

...

"Kasumi-san?"

"Yes, Bakakashi?"

"How far are you from the target?"

"Ummm...about zero millimeters."

"Good, so now we can grab-did your say 'zero millimeters'?"

"Yup. This little kitty is cuddly!" I responded childishly.

A sigh crackled through the headset and the team soon emerged from the forest and walked over to me. Aside from Naruto, who had conveniently ignored the conversation. He dived on top of me; grabbing the cat and making it go crazy.

"Naru-!" I began to yell before I got claws to the face. As Naruto struggled with the cat, I scooted away from the scene until my back hit a tree. I clutched the long claw marks on my cheek and pulled my hand back to see blood. A lot of blood.

As my team became more aware of my state, I began to hyperventilate.

"Useless child!"

Slash

Please...

"Despicable brat!"
