I got up to the sound of my extremely irritating alarm. I was running an hour 'late' since I knew Kakashi wasn't going to get there until about 10. I went in and took a long shower, then got dressed and ate a healthy breakfast of nine chocolate chip pancakes.

About two hours later I showed up at our training ground to find an irritated Naruto and Sakura. Sasuke was just standing around and being angsty as usual.

"Yo." I greeted looking bored. I knew they would probably be pissed that I was late, but I was not going to show up at the designated time. I cherish my sleep thank you very much. And that was when Kakashi showed up a few seconds after me.

"Morning everyone, ready for your first day?" He asked with an innocent wave.

"Hey you're late!" Naruto and Sakura yelled at the same time. Damn they're similar. I thought with a smirk.

"Well a black cat crossed my path, so I had to take the long way." Way to go Kakashi. You took the best excuse out there.

"Huh?! And what about you Kaori-chan, why were you late?!" They screamed at me.

"I got lost on the path of life" I said looking at the sky. Kakashi looked at me curiously, probably wondering how I knew that line. Everyone looked at us disbelievingly and Kakashi cleared his throat, walking towards an alarm clock.

"Well...let's get started. Here we go, it's set for noon. Your assignment is very simple. All you have to do is take these bells away from me." He said holding up three bells.

"That's all there is to it."

"Oh, and if you can't get them by noon, you go without lunch. You'll be tied to those posts..." He pointed to three tall posts to his right.

"...And I'll eat my lunch in front of you." I noticed the others clutching their stomachs. That's what they get for nothing. I just love advantages.

"Wait a second. There's four of us, how come there's only three bells?!" Sakura asked accusingly. Kakashi let out a chuckle. The sadistic bastard.

"Well that way, at least one of you gets tied to a post and ultimately gets disqualified for failing the mission and gets sent back to the Academy. Then again, all four of you could flunk out too. You can use any weapons including shuriken. If you aren't prepared to kill me, you'll never get the bells." He said all of this with a smile on his face. Nice.

"Those weapons are too dangerous sensei!" Oh my Kami Sakura is so weak.

"Tch. You want to be a ninja and you think shuriken are 'too dangerous'. You're obviously just weak. Either that or clueless." I smirked. Sakura looked hurt and I'm pretty sure...is that approval I see in Sasuke's eyes?

"Hey, hey, that was really mean Kaori-chan, you should apologize to Sakura. Believe it." That kid and saying 'believe it'. SO irritating.

"Why should I apologize? She's just getting in this team's way if she refuses to use ninja tools. She needs to get it together. We are shinobi." Kakashi started clearing his throat again.

"Okay, we should get started time's running out you know."

"Haha! This should be simple, you couldn't even dodge an eraser!" Naruto said obnoxiously.
