Kids In The Dark (A Kakashi Love Story) (1st Place in NWA Kakashi 2015)

Wish We Could Turn Back Time

Meiko, Izumo, and Kotetsu were sitting in their seats, chatting about random things when a woman with long brown hair that was tied up in a ponytail on top of her head, and dark brown eyes walked into the room. "Team 10!" She called out, and the three best friends stood up and walked over to her.

The woman smiled at them, quickly scanning her eyes over all of them. "Hello, are you team 10?" She asked, and they all nodded.

"Hai!" They said in sync, and their sensei just smiled slightly before she nodded her head.

"Let's head up to the top of the building, there we can discuss ourselves and get to know everyone." She said, and they all walked out of the room and up to the top of the building, Meiko and the boys playfully shoving each other to get to the front of line as they walked. Looking at Meiko now, you wouldn't have thought that what happened this morning actually happened, minus the few rips in her dress, she seemed perfectly sane.

They arrived at the top of the building, and the three students took a seat across from their sensei, who was a fairly beautiful woman. As the students previously saw, she had brown hair and brown eyes, but her skin was a very pale shade a lot like Meiko's, and she had a few scars on her arms, but other than that she seemed like a very normal shinobi.

"Hello, Team 10!" The sensei said with a very cheery attitude. "My name is Kumiko Shimura, and I will be your sensei. I figured that we could all get to know each other a little better? Get to know each other's names, things we like, things we don't, strengthens, weaknesses, goals and dreams for the future?"

"Hai, Sensei!" The best friends said in sync and she just laughed slightly before she started. "I'll start, as I said my name is Kumiko Shimura, I love Dango and Ramen, I hate the dark, my strengths are earth style, and my weaknesses are very few. My goals and dreams for the future, well, I frankly don't feel like telling you." She said with another laugh, and Meiko raised her eyebrow at her slightly before leaning her head against Kotesu.

Izumo was the next one to talk. "My name is Izumo Kamizuki. I like Meiko and Kotetsu, I dislike annoying people. My strengths are teamwork and water nature jutsu's! My weaknesses are fire nature attacks, and worrying about my best friends. My dreams and goals for the future are to work beside of Meiko and Kotetsu as great shinobi of Konoha!" He said with a small smile, patting Meiko back slightly.

Next was Meiko. "My name is Meiko Sarutobi! I like Kotetsu and Izumo." She said, pointing her thumbs towards her best friends. "We've been friends since Izumo stepped on my lunch during the first couple days of the academy! I dislike annoying people. My strengths are Fire nature and Wind Nature jutsu's, along with swords! My weaknesses are Genjutsu. My goals are to be a great shinobi, and my dreams for the future are to protect my best friends and Konoha with my life!" She said happily, nodding her head quickly.

"My name is Kotetsu Hagane! I like these two losers." He said, throwing his thumb towards his two best friends. "I dislike a lot of things. My strengths are Yin Release chakra nature, and fighting with weapons. My weaknesses are ninjutsu. My dreams and goals for the future are the same as theirs." He said, nodding their head and their sensei laughed at them slightly.

"I'm lucky to have gotten a team of people who already know each other and get along." She said, scratching her head slightly. "Have you guys already practice in teamwork then?" She asked.

Meiko glanced over at Izumo, then at Kotestu before she nodded her head. "We do a lot of teamwork." She said, and Kumiko smiled brightly.

"Thank goodness! Teamwork is typically the hardest subject for genin to grasp, so I'm fairly lucky I got you guys." She said with a cheerful nod of her head. Meiko and the boys all nodded their heads. "Well, that's all we have for today. Tomorrow we have a training exercise at the training grounds closes to the Hokage's building, it starts at 7 in the morning, and please, for the love of Kami, eat before you come." She said, and they all nodded their head before they stood up and looked at their sensei.
