Song- Angels Fall by Breaking Benjamin.
"When angels fall with broken wings, I can't give up. I can't give in. When all is lost, and daylight ends. I'll carry you and we will live forever. Forever."

The next morning, I got dressed quickly. Kakashi had explained yesterday that I wasn't going to participate in the test. I wasn't sure at first, but he explained how it would be beneficial to us as a team to get individual information on everyone's attack styles. It all makes sense, so I ended up agreeing with him. I shuffle through my fridge and grab a bottle of cranberry juice. I take a long drink of it as I walk out of my door. The tart taste helped wake me up a little. I yawn, rubbing my eyes. My body was sore from Kakashi yesterday, I may be a little out of shape... I didn't really get any sleep last night. I went to bed around 11 and woke up two hours after in a cold sweat. I had a nightmare, but I couldn't remember what it was about. All that was left was pure terror and silent tears dripping down my face. After that, I couldn't even close my eyes.

My feet drag along the road and I sigh, hugging myself tightly. What I wouldn't do for another hour of sleep... I walk to the K.I.A stone, rubbing my eyes again. I kneel beside it, smiling softly.
"Good morning, Bito..." I say, tapping his name gently. "I met with my team yesterday. They have potential, Bito. We have an Uzumaki and an Uchiha, can you believe it?" My eyes start to flutter and it was hard to keep them open. I silently struggle, while telling Obito about my day. "I had another nightmare last night. Heh, it's been a while... I wonder what caused it...?" Kakashi appears in my head, smiling at me. "Hmm... Maybe I just have a little anxiety? I don't even remember what happened in it... It's scary... I would rather remember my nightmares then wake up scared and unknowing..." I stop fighting myself, keeping my eye closed. "I'm.... I'm so tired... Bito..." I quickly fall asleep, laying on the ground in front of the stone. I was curled into a tight ball, arms holding myself tightly.

...

...

The ground moves from beneath me, in a steady rocking motion. I feel something against my chest, holding my against them. I open my eyes slowly, feeling something brush against my face. Kakashi's hair blocked some of my vision, his silver spikes brushing against my cheek again. My arms were around his neck and my legs around his back. Our situation doesn't process in my head, I didn't realize what was going on. Sleep still had a tight grip on my head.
"..." My arms tighten around him and I tuck my head close to his, our cheeks touching. "Kashi?"
He tilts his head to look at me, eye meeting mine. "Morning, Himiko."
I smile sleepily, listening to the sound of his breathing. My eyes grow heavy and I relax, starting to fall back asleep.
"Nope." Kakashi says, adjusting me on his back. "We're almost there, Himiko. Don't fall asleep again, Kay?"
I nod, laying my head on his shoulder. "...Kay... Kashi..." I whisper, yawning. The wood starts to clear a little, revealing our students waiting for us in the clearing. "...But I don't want to get down..." I whisper in Kakashi's ear, frowning.
Kakashi laughs softly, looking me over. "Are you even awake yet, Himiko?"
I shrug. Am I asleep? I feel like I am, but my eyes are open... I look at Naruto and Sakura asleep on the ground, Sasuke wide awake.

"Good morning, Everyone." Kakashi says, still carrying me on his back.
"...Mornin..." I say, half waving at Sasuke.
Naruto and Sakura instantly wake up, jumping to their feet.
"Hey! You're late!" They say in unison, pointing at us. Kakashi shrugs.
"A black cat crossed my path, so I had to take the long way." Kakashi says and Naruto groans in annoince.
"What about Himiko-Sensei?" He asks, pointing at me. "Why is she late?!"
"I-" I try to reply, but Kakashi interups me.
"Why don't we get started?" Kakashi says, setting a timer. "This is set for noon. You're assignment is simple. Take these bells from me. That's all there is to it." He dangles two bells from his hand, the wind jingling them. "If you can't get them by noon, you go without lunch. You'll be tied to these posts and Himiko and I will eat out lunches in front of you."
"Wait! There are only two bells!" Naruto says, crossing his arms.
"Oh? Well, that way, at least one of you will end up being tied to the post and ultimately disqualified for failing to complete the mission." Kakashi explains, adjusting me on his back. "Then again, all three of you could flunk too. You are allowed to use any weapons, shuriken included. If you don't come at me with the intent to kill, you won't be able to take the bells."
"Shuriken are dangerous, Sensei." Sakura says, glancing at me for help. Naruto laughs, crossing his arms above his head.
"Exspecialy since you can't even dodge an eraser!"
"Class clowns are usually the weakest links. You can safely ignore them. Lowest score-loser." Kakashi let's me off his back, carefully placing me on the ground. "When I say start, you may begin."
