"Sakura at Point C!"
"Sasuke. Point B."
"..."
Kakashi sighed through the intercom. "Naruto?"
"I'm at point A! Believe it!"
"You're too slow Naruto. Sora?"
The girl sighed. "I'm at point E. Obviously."
Kakashi sounded resigned. "There is no point E. You're supposed to be at point D"
"That's what I said."
Her teammates all sweatdropped at her.
"Alright, team seven!" Kakashi said suddenly. "Our target has moved!"
All four genin rushed forward, stopping once the target was in sight.
"There he is." Naruto said once it stopped moving.
"Grab it, Naruto!" Sora hissed through the earpiece.
"No, Naruto's gonna make too much noise!" Sakura's voice was shrill and Sora rolled her eyes.
"Then you get it, Sakura. We don't have all day here."
"Nobody is grabbing the cat yet!" Sasuke ordered sternly.
"Who died and made you captain?"
"I could say the same about you!"
Kakashi deadpanned at his student's bickering. "What are your distances from the target?"
"Five meters!" Naruto announced. "I'm ready! Believe it!"
"Me too." Said Sakura.
"Same here." Sasuke and Sora said at the same time, then lapsed into a tense silence. Kakashi didn't even have to see them to know that they were glaring at each other from over the bushes.
"Okay..." Kakashi hesitated. "Go!"
Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto all leaped forward, Naruto the one who ultimately grabbed the cat just before it could get away and squashed it to near death.
Sora followed a little bit behind, rubbing her red nose.
"Does it have a ribbon on it's right ear? Is it our target Tora?" Kakashi asked.
"It's our target all right." Sasuke replied.
Sora scrunched her nose. "I hate cats."
"Nobody cares." Sasuke drawled.
"I wasn't talking to you." She snapped. "Besides, Kakashi cares, don't you Sensei?"
"Uh—"
"Naruto, stop squishing the poor thing!" Sakura yelled at the blonde, who was having a hard time taming the cat. Tora leaped onto his face, scratching it for good measure, before jumping over to Sakura.
"How come it likes you?!" Naruto cried and Sora winced, pulling out her earpiece. These people were so damn loud all the time.
"Good job, Team Seven." Kakashi praised. "Mission accomplished. We're recovered the lost pet Tora."
Sora sneezed loudly.
"Bless you." Naruto and Sakura said at the same time, but Sasuke's nose remained stubbornly in the air. It was in his Uchiha blood to be petty.
"Are you allergic to cats or something?" Naruto asked, peering at her.
"Obviously." Sora replied with a snap, rubbing her nose furiously. "Can we go already?"
