Amara's eye twitched as she watched Naruto dart around, shouting random things. 

"Over here! No, over here!"

Suddenly, he came to a halt, launching a kunai into a nearby bush. "I heard someone over there!"

Amara frowned slightly, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Naruto..."

Tazuna started yelling, almost blowing Amara's eardrum. "ARE YOU TRYING TO GIVE ME A HEART-ATTACK BRAT?! STOP FOOLING AROUND!!"

Amara rubbed her poor ears, baring her teeth at the man. "Next time? Don't yell so loudly, got it?!" She hissed, and Tazuna quickly nodded.

Amara stalked toward Kakashi, who ruffled her hair slightly. "Naruto, weapons aren't made to be used so carelessly, be more careful. And Tazuna, not so loud. We're trying to get you home safely, we can't exactly do that if you're alerting enemy ninja to our presence.

Then, Kakashi turned towards the bush, peering into it. He parted the leaves, revealing what looked to be a rather terrified bunny, it's snowy pelt quivering with the rest of it's body.

Amara hissed, glaring at the rabbit. She hated rabbits! They were rodents!

Her hissing suddenly cut off, as she observed the startled bunny a bit more. Her head tilted , as a question formed in her mind.

White pelt? But it's not winter...

Suddenly Tenshi stirred in her mind, sensing something was off.

Kakashi whirled around, shouting out a warning. "Everyone get down!!" Amara quickly went to the ground, dragging a bewildered Naruto down with her.

A giant sword flew overhead, impaling itself into a nearby tree. Amara quickly rose to her feet, automatically placing herself in a taijutsu stance.

The others, minus Kakashi, were a lot slower to get up, and Amara guessed they were probably in shock.

"Hm, it seems that brat has quick reaction time..." A deep, almost raspy voice said, and Amara turned herself to face the sword, only to see a man standing atop of it, wearing...

Cow leg warmers?!

Amara blanched slightly, giving the a disbelieving look. "Seriously? Cow leg warmers? What, did they not have the cheetah ones in stock?" She mocked, but blinked when the man only laughed.

"You got spunk, kid! To bad I have to beat that out of ya... Now," He directed his voice more towards Kakashi.

"If it isn't Kakashi of the Sharingan. Said to have copied over a thousand jutsus..." Both Amara and Sasuke tensed. For Amara, even though she knew Kakashi had the sharingan, it still brought back bad memories.

Amara snapped out of it quickly though, smirking. "Why do you think he's called the Copy-Cat Ninja? He didn't earn that name by playing monkey-see-monkey-do." She stated sarcastically, rolling her eye.

Zabuza merely grinned from behind his bandages, while Amara adjusted her position, angling her body slightly.

Kakashi's eye narrowed. "Don't do it Amara. You'll only drain yourself." Amara scowled at him, but dropped her former stance.

"Okay, you four, manji position! use teamwork, just like I taught you!!" Amara immediately, yet reluctantly, took position at the head of the group, one of her hands close to her nunchucks.

As she took her position, she shot Tazuna an extremely annoyed glance. One that said, 'This is your fault, and you're going to pay later...'
