INFATUATION

5.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP.

Your eyes shot open and you hastily shoved your heavy blankets off. "Ugh. Are you serious.." you muttered. The sun still hadn't risen whatsoever, you tiredly sat up and looked towards the alarm clock displayed on your nightstand.

4:01 AM

With a tap the beeping was hushed and you slid out of the warm comfy bed. Your arms were raised as you stretched and groaned.

First you brushed your teeth, then you took a quick shower. You decided to let your hair air dry while you set up your ninja gear for the "exorcise."

You took one last look in the mirror, making sure your hair looked decent enough before it would get ruined during practice.

"Okay.. this should be everything." You skimmed through your f/c messenger bag.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

You sat with your legs up to your chest. It's been about an hour and a half, no signs of Kakashi. "Okay. It was funny at first. But Is he seriously gonna be late EVERYTIME?" You cried out.  "Right!" Naruto agreed.

Sakura glared at you. It didn't matter what you said, as long as it came out your mouth she was immediately annoyed.

"Maybe we should start coming late too." The blond crossed his arms. You smiled, "Maybe. But, what if he decides to be on time one day and we get scolded." You placed a hand under your chin with a hum. "Good point.." Naruto also placed a hand under his chin.

Sasuke stared at you both weirdly, 'i thought he hated her.. Why are they speaking like friends??' He didn't like this sight.

"Would you two shut it? You're annoying Sasuke." Sakura stomped over. You frowned and stood up. "Is your entire personality just Sasuke?? You realize he doesn't even like you, right." She flushed in embarrassment.

She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. "Well— ... ugh! What do you know!" Is she serious right now??

You clenched your fists. "I know more about Sasuke than you ever will! Instead of thinking I'm in love with him and hating me because you're insecure, use your brain! I'd assume it's big with that massive forehead you're carrying." You glared daggers at her, Naruto quickly stood between you both.

"Cmonnn guys.. calm down..haha..!" he worriedly looked at Sakura. You scoffed and decided to drop it. "Ninjas shouldn't be obsessing over romance by the way. Especially since we're only genin."

Naruto sighed in relief when it grew quiet again. Finally, Kakashi was spotted walking over.

"You're late!" Naruto frowned. "Sorry about that. There was a black cat so I had to take another way.." he lied.

Naruto and Sakura growled in anger. Seeing through the obvious excuse.

Kakashi cleared his throat, "let's get started." He walked over to a log and placed a black clock atop it. "It's set for noon." He rummaged in his pocket and pulled out three bells, "your assignment is very simple. You just have to take bells from me." He jingled them.

'Bells? Easy peasy.' You smirked, "Buut. If you can't get them by noon, you go without lunch." He spoke calmly. Naruto gasped, "you'll be tied to those posts and you'll watch while I eat my lunch in front of you."

On cue everyone's stomached growled.

"Wait a minute. How come there's only three bells and four of us." You asked skeptically. Kakashi smiled behind his mask evilly, "well that way at least one of you will end up tied up to a post and disqualified for failing to complete the mission. That one goes back to the academy." He giggled, "four is an abnormal amount for a team."

"Then again, all four of you could flunk out too."

Everyone got serious..

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

You panted, after Sasuke revealed your shared hiding spot you had no choice but to split up. "Y/n!" Naruto gasped. The call made you jump. You looked around cautiously. "Up here!" He waved his arms.

He was dangling from a tree directly above you. "How did you.." you took a few steps back. "It was a trap! I fell for it!" He cried out. You carefully threw a shuriken at the rope, watching him fall to the floor with a thud.

"Sorry!" You winced. "Are you okay?" He landed like a family guy character. "Arghh.. yeah.." he sat up rubbing his head. His blue eyes drifted over to the bell laying on the dirt. A giant smirk placed itself on his face. "No!" You quickly rushed over and dragged him by one arm.

"That's a permanent trap, there's no use in trying." You sighed, helping him up. "But.. what if it's disabled.." he whined. Eyes glued to the prize. You placed your hands on your hips with a sigh.

'She smells good..'

"Y/n? And is that Naruto?" You quickly turned around. Kakashi closed his book. Now looking at you two. "Oh great.." you muttered. You reached into your thigh pouch. "Naruto, If you're too tired you can go! I'll hold him off.."

Kakashi was intrigued, "what a hero." He chimed in. "Are you kidding not even close!" Naruto smirked. "Maybe since theres two of us we'll get the bells! Believe it!"

"You're willing to leave Sakura and Sasuke behind?" Kakashi asked, you ignored him and threw chakra infused shuriken. Which had impressed him quite a bit.

He took out a kunai to block them. He grunted a bit when you both charged at him immediately after. You threw a punch, which he caught, Naruto did the same. But instead of only catching the first, Kakashi spun around and threw him towards a tree.

"Naruto!" You gasped. You attempted to kicked Kakashi, but he blocked it with his forearm. "You're getting real annoying, sensei." You grumbled. He hummed. "Am I?" He tightened his grip on you and slammed you down to the floor.

Dust flew everywhere and he winced, "maybe that was too much.."

Poof!

He raised his brows, "oh." He definitely didn't expect that. You used a substitution jutsu. "Fire style!-" his eyes now widened and he quickly turned around, "What? Genin can't do that yet! It takes too much chakra!"

"Fire ball jutsu!" You shot flames from your mouth. Naruto watched in amazement.

'Awesome.. like a dragon...' He then looked towards the tree. He sneakily crawled over to the bell once more. You were so busy with Kakashi you hadn't noticed him.

"AHH!" He was once again tied up by his foot. "I SHOULDVE LISTENED!"
