Not one of Them (DBZ and Naruto fanfic)

The Mission's Hold Back

~CHAPTER 4~

I was on my way to the tree in the school yard, walking past Ichiraku Ramen, when someone surprised me. "Hey Hoshiko!"

I giggled. "You actually remembered my name, Naruto!" I said feeling surprised he had remembered my name. He seemed like one to forget those kind of things.

"Yeah, so what are you up to?" Naruto asked as he walked beside me. I could tell he was excited for his first mission as well.

"I'm just walking to the school. I'm meeting up with my team by that swing." I answered shyly as I walked with him. I'm not usually this quite shy but when I'm around Naruto I crawl into this little shell of mine."We have our first mission today."

"Me too!" Naruto said with a huge grin. "I can't wait to see what it is!"

I laughed at his enthusiasm. "I'm not too excited for my first mission." I confessed.

"What!?" Naruto stopped in his tracks to look at me. I blushed as he looked at me funny. "What is wrong with you? Aren't you excited about getting assigned your first mission?"

"Well, not really. Haru has told me about missions. They sound like a lot of work." I said shrinking beneath his gaze. "I'm what you would call a lover, not a fighter."

"How are you a ninja if you don't like to fight?" Naruto asked as he looked at me. "Isn't that what ninjas do?"

"I never said I hate fighting, just that I love more than fight." I said as I started walking again. Just then I felt something wrap around and tug on my wrist

"Whether you love more than fight, or you hate fighting, you should live to fight! Fighting should be in your veins." Naruto said as he wouldn't let go of my wrist.

"I would fight but... I'm worried I'd hurt someone, and then they would lock me up." I said bowing my head. I didn't like thinking about the thought of me hurting someone. It sounded so unreal.

"Well no more worrying!" Naruto said with a grin.

"What?" I whispered. "What do you mean?

"Come follow me!" Naruto said as he ran while grasping my thin wrist. It felt like my hand would fall off if I wasn't running with him. After a minute of running Naruto stopped and I looked up.

We were standing in front of a fenced area... The training grounds.

"Why did you bring me here?" I asked as I looked at Naruto with a puzzled face. "This isn't where I'm meeting my team."

"I know," Naruto began with a menacing smile. "We are here to train!" He said excitedly.

"But Naruto-"

"Come on, it will be fun Hoshiko!" Naruto said as he looked at me with a shimmer in his blue eyes.

"Naruto, I'll be late for my mission!" I said in a stern voice. I was growing bothered by his constant attempts to have a sparring match.

"Well I guess if you're chicken, we can leave. Jeez, thought you'd be a tough opponent considering your from outer space, but looks like I'm the stronger one."

Just then something in me snapped. I gritted my teeth and I clenched my fists. I wasn't one to grow mad but people calling me weak drove me insane. "What did you say?" I hissed through gritted teeth.

"You're nothing but a pathetic excuse of a ninja!" He said with a smile. I tried choking down my anger but there was no use.

"Enough talk, hot shot!" I growled. I was pissed that Naruto just kept saying I was weak. Who is he to tell me what I am? For his information I am quite powerful! "We will settle this in the training grounds!"
