I woke up from my slumber and sat up from my bed. I stared down at the red gem I had around my neck. I smiled down at it and got out of bed. I brushed my teeth and washed my face then got dressed in a pink and blue kimono outfit.

I grabbed my journal and headed towards the training grounds. "Here." Naruto said with a yawn. I walked forward. I kept my distance from them. Kakashi-sensei hasn't shown up yet. I sat down and began to write a few things about my sensei.

Well for starters, he's a hypocrite. He wants us to be here early and yet, he doesn't show up himself. "Hey, what are you writing in there?" Sakura demanded. I quickly closed the book and held it to my chest. "It's nothing. Please step back." I said quickly.

"Man, she's really shy. It's annoying." I read Sakura's mind. I sat by myself as I waited for our sensei. The sun was rising and he still wasn't here. After another few minutes of waiting, he finally showed up. I wrote in my journal, "Fashionably late."

"Hey, your late!" Naruto and Sakura said at the same time. "Well, a black cat crossed my path so I had to take the long way." he explained. What a lame excuse. "All you have to do is take these bells from me." Kakashi said.

Sounds too easy. "I-Is there a catch?" I asked. "Well yes. If you don't get these bells from me, you'll all be dropped from the academy." he said. I knew it sounded too easy. How are we suppose to get those bells from him? He's a jonin and we're just genin.

"Ready... START!!" I quickly ran and hid. I hid in the trees and saw Naruto out in the open. He was the only one who didn't run and hide. I watched as he ran at Kakashi and fight him by himself. I took out my journal and began to write some things what Naruto was doing wrong.

Doesn't have a plan, not thinking, getting ahead of himself. I sighed and closed my journal. Kakashi was quickly behind Naruto with a hand sign. What's he doing? "Naruto, get out of there! He'll kill you!" Sakura called to him.

"Leaf Village Secret Finger Jutsu! A Thousand Years od Death!" I sweat dropped. All he really did was poke him. I watched as Naruto fell in the water. I wrote the word in clumsy in my journal. I headed further into the woods then sat down in the open space.

I felt a little lazy to get the bells from him. It's pretty obvious we have to work as a team in order to get those bells. I looked down at the red gem necklace and sighed. "I wish you were here right now." I whispered. "I'm closer than you think."

I turned around and smiled. "Orochimaru-san." He smiled as he stepped out of the shadows. I ran over to him and hugged him tightly as my face was buried in his chest. "Did you enjoy my gift, dear?" he asked me. I looked at him and nodded.

"I love my present. Thank you." I said softly. He smiled and petted my head. "Orochimaru-san, when can I go with you? To the place you promised me?" I asked. "You'll have to be patient, my Miu." Orochimaru-san said.

I pouted a bit. "Don't pout, my Miu. Soon, I'll take you away from this place. No one will ever hurt you again." he promised me. I sighed and rested my head against his chest. "You're always telling me that." I whined a bit.

He chuckled. "I would never lie to you." he said. I smiled at him softly. "I have to go. See you soon, Miu." Orochimaru-san said before heading to the other side of the woods. I ran off to hide again. I stopped by the K.I.A. stone.

I spotted boxed lunches sitting there. I raised a brow. I walked toward it and stared at the names that were on the rock. My parents were mentioned. I missed them. I shook my head. I can't be thinking about that right now. I have to focus on the task at hand.

But how can I work with them when I can't talk. Well, I can talk. I just can't speak up for myself. I headed back to the big open area and saw Sasuke's head sticking up from the ground. I don't even wanna know. But I do have to help him.
