Chapter 1: Cell 7

 

The world blurred into focus. The young girl sat up in bed, blinking to remove the sleep that had collected in her eyes. She allowed a yawn to escape her thin lips, stretching her arms towards the ceiling.

Ishizu Hyuga swung her legs out of bed, wincing at the small bruises that covered her body. Her father, Neji Hyuga, was one of the most powerful Hyugas ever born, but training with him was a very painful experience. Especially when he seems to utterly despise me, Ishizu thought sadly. Neji always seemed to be using her as a punching bag instead of a sparring partner.

Ishizu shook her head. This was no time for a pity party. She quickly brushed back her long Raven locks, allowing her Byakuugan to guide the brush and make sure she didn't have any hair out of place. She put on her normal clothing; long white pants, a white t-shirt and a large overcoat with fur lining. She then wrapped her brand-new leaf Hitate headband about her forehead and tied a cloth mask around her lips. Apparently satisfied with her look, Ishizu went downstairs, where she saw Neji and Hanabi Hyuga sitting at the table. She moved quickly to the table, eating her breakfast without looking up. It didn't make any difference, because everyone at the table could see the others perfectly no matter what they did. But it was never a good idea to let Neji know you were looking at him. He might ask why.

Finishing her food, she bowed to her mother, thanking her for making it. She then bowed low to Neji. “Hyuga-Sama,” she said, ever aware of his temperament. He nodded curtly. “Don't you meet your new cell group members today?” Neji asked.

Ishizu took the hint, placing her dishes in the sink and heading out the door.

Ishizu stepped lightly into the school building, smiling kindly to anyone who bothered to look at her. She made her way to the room that she had been designated, avoiding the excited Genin running through the halls with their new sensei.

She arrived at the room, looking through the wall with her Byakuugan. Seeing her new teammates, Ishizu couldn't help but wince a little. On the other side of the wall waited Kikyinn TenTen, daughter of Liche Yinka-Ten and Fraiho Ten. Kikyinn was balancing two kunai on the tips of her fingers, and looking extremely bored. The boy in the room was Yamaki Kankouro, with a “Scarecrow” model puppet wrapped up on his back. He was known as a troublemaker and a jerk, and he was watching Kikyinn in a very…odd…manner.

Ishizu sighed, bolstering her courage. She slid open the door, and walked into the room. She let out a small yelp as a kunai imbedded itself in the door above her head. Kikyinn grinned. “Don't worry about it, girl. I never miss my target.”

Ishizu made an attempt at a smile, bowing slightly. Yamaki stared at her torso, leering. Ishizu sat down on the chairs which had been provided in the room, looking at the hands of the clock. It was 8:56 AM, and their sensei was due at 9:00. She sat properly in her chair, keeping her head upright and her hands in her lap. She had been taught to always look respectable early on in life, and to always protect the Hyuga dignity. Being a branch member, she knew that she was little more then garbage. Her life belonged to the Main House of the Hyuga, and she was disposable if she caused any problems for them. So she always made sure she looked presentable. She tightened her headband, and waited.

At 10:00 AM, she was still waiting. Yamaki was still leering at both of his teammates, his gaze often resting on their torsos and their legs. Ishizu couldn't understand why. Was there something wrong with them? Why did he find them so interesting? Being able to see through clothing, Ishizu had always seen everyone's torso and legs, along with other things. Why was it that so many men seemed to care so much about those parts of the female anatomy?

A loud BANG sounded in the middle of the room, and a burst of smoke rose from the floor. Yamaki yanked the scarecrow off of his back, while Kikyinn held the two kunai firmly in her hands. Ishizu bolted upright in her chair, falling into the Hyuga battle position. All three students waited to see what would happen.

When the smoke cleared, a tall man stood in the middle of the room. Ishizu looked at him. He wore his Hitate band over his left eye, and wore two masks over his mouth. 8 Kunai and a book sat in the pouch at his waist. He stared around the room, looking over each and every one of the students. He then drew two fingers to his head in a salute, and said: “YO.”

The Genin stared at him. Yamaki cursed the old man for his tardiness. The man turned towards him. “Sorry I'm late. I was attacked by a wild turnip patch.”

Kikyinn laughed. “You're a poor liar. I take it you're our new Sensei?”

“Hayate Kakashi, at your service.” The older man said. “So let's see. We've got…” he pointed at Yamaki. “the Troublemaker Puppeteer,” He pointed to Kikyinn. “the self proclaimed weapons expert,” He turned to Ishizu. “And the last Hyuga ever to receive a cursed seal. Interesting…”

He reached into his back pocket. Pulling out the book, he opened it and started reading. Ishizu stared at him. This wasn't how things were supposed to be. Wasn't he supposed to begin training them, or teaching them techniques or something?

Yamaki frowned. “Hey, you old pervert, stop reading and let's go!”

Ishizu moved her head to one side. Pervert? What was that?

Kakashi looked at Yamaki. Then he sighed, and placed the book back in his pouch. “Alright, let's go.” He said. “You 3 wait in front of the school. I'll go find us an acceptable mission.” With that, Kakashi disappeared in another puff of smoke.

Ishizu coughed, clearing the smoke from her lungs. She glanced at her new teammates, who were doing the same. Yamaki put the scarecrow doll onto his back, stalking out of the room with a glare on his face. Kikyinn smiled again, picking up her Kunai and skipping out of the room.

Ishizu allowed a confused look to settle upon her face. This was getting kind of strange, but it was fun. She gathered her wits and went outside.

Around 11:00 AM, Yamaki looked ready to kill someone. Kakashi-sensei certainly seemed to enjoy being late. Kikyinn had been practicing her knife throwing for the past hour. Her aim hadn't changed at all, she still got every target with a bull's eye every time.

Ishizu sighed. Even her patience had a limit. Their sensei had to be at least Jounin level, which meant he was incredibly fast. Why, then, couldn't he be on time?

Yamaki groaned. “What the heck is that old perv doing?!” he yelled, “I have more important things to do than sit around waiting for some retarded old man!”

Ishizu watched him without turning her head. That way he didn't have to know she was looking at him, and he wouldn't get mad at her. She allowed herself to relax, and laid her head back against the wall. Though she was too polite to admit it, she was beginning to share Yamaki's feelings. This was boring.

“Finally.” Said Kikyinn. Ishizu sat up, looking around. Her Byakuugan had only developed a range of 35 feet, meaning that the other two members could see something a longer way off than she could. But from the scowl Yamaki wore, Ishizu could guess.

A moment later, her suspicions were confirmed as Kakashi-sensei walked into the clearing, head bowed low. He didn't seem happy. Ishizu turned her head a little, wondering what could be the matter with the older man.

As he got close to the group, Kakashi pulled a scroll from his back pocket. Looking up, Ishizu watched as something that looked suspiciously like fire exploded from his uncovered eye. “I'VE GOT OUR FIRST MISSION!!!” he declared, accidentally facing away from the cell. The man across the street stared at the crazy old man yelling at him, and decided it would be best to leave.

Kakashi rubbed the back of his head. Turning towards the cell, he handed the scroll to Kikyinn. “I am financing our first mission.” He said slowly. “Someone has stolen a very important book of mine: Icha Icha orgy, GOLD edition. I want you to find it.”

Ishizu stared at him. Icha Icha…didn't that mean `make out'? Make out paradise…what an odd name for a book. What could it be about?

Yamaki broke out into laughter. “Lost your porn, old man?”

The fire leapt from Kakashi's eye again, and he quickly snapped his head towards Yamaki. Yamaki stopped laughing.

Ishizu was getting a headache. What was with all of this? Yamaki's strange habits, the words `pervert' and `porn', something called `Make out paradise'…

“Will someone please explain what is going on?!” Ishizu shrieked loudly.

Her cheeks flushed. She suddenly felt very embarrassed, as she realized that she had just yelled for no reason. Her teammates and her sensei were staring at her.

“Um…what's the problem?” asked Kakashi slowly.

“A-ah….um…w-well…” stuttered Ishizu. “I-I'm hearing a lot of new w-words today, and I…um…oh…” The blush already covering her face became a deeper crimson.

Kakashi sighed. “What words, Ishizu?” piped up Kikyinn. “You're a Hyuga. You're smart, and you should know these things.”

“U-um…what is a `pervert'?” asked Ishizu. “A-and…what is `p-porn?'”

A stunned silence hung in the air. All three of her teammates stared at her, vacant expressions on their faces. Ishizu felt very, very stupid all of a sudden.

Yamaki broke out into loud peals of laughter. Kikyinn covered her mouth with both hands, eyes wide and trying desperately to suppress the giggles that were breaking out of her lips. Kakashi, on the other hand, just continued to stare at her. He finally spoke.

“Ishizu…did Neji or Hanabi ever tell you about…sex?”

Ishizu stared at him blankly. “S-sex?” she whispered. “What is s-sex?”

Yamaki's eyes began to bug as he pounded the ground with his hand, screaming with laughter and gasping for breath. Kikyinn continued to hold her mouth closed as giggles continued to slip out through her fingers.

Kakashi sighed again. “Ishizu…maybe you should talk to Hinata-sama about this. I'm sure she'd be glad to teach you all about it.”

Ishizu nodded her head quickly, seeking to get away from the scarlet burn that currently held her cheeks together. She looked around. “So, where should we begin looking for your…book, sensei?”

Kikyinn released her mouth, gasping and chuckling. Yamaki got up off of the ground, holding his stomach and wiping his eyes. He managed to stop laughing for a few minutes, but as Kakashi described the look of the book, the yellow ribbon in the cover and the “H.K.” scraped into the back, Yamaki continued to chuckle whenever he looked at Ishizu.

Kakashi finished his description, then began walking away. “Cell 7, you're task is to find my book. SOON.” He vanished.

Yamaki walked over to Ishizu, still grinning. “Hey, Ishizu…” hey said slyly, the words dripping off his tongue. “I might be able to show you what sex is, you know…”

Ishizu looked up. Despite his reputation, he was willing to help her learn. He wasn't so bad after all!

She smiled at him. “Thank you, Yamaki-san!”

Yamaki leered again, seeming to be experienced at it. “Well, first you've gotta come back to my place. I have tools there to help teach you. You see, first you-“

He ducked as several shuriken flew over his head. Kikyinn stared at him, outraged. “Yamaki Kankouro, don't you dare take advantage of her! That's rape, you moron!” she yelled.

Ishizu sighed, feeling quite confused. Another new term.

Yamaki stood up, a frown on his face. “Awww, Kikyinn!” he said. “I wasn't gonna go too far, just have a little fun! You know, get the shirt-“

He ducked again, then began running from the hail of weapons that flew towards his back. Kikyinn glared at his retreating back, then released the jutsu that summoned her weapons. They disappeared. She turned to Ishizu. “What are you, stupid?” she yelled. “He was gonna rape you! He was gonna-“

She stopped.. Ishizu's fingers pressed together in their typical manner, her lip quivering slightly. Kikyinn rolled her eyes. “Oh, for pity's sake. Don't worry about it. Just don't be so darn trusting! People will take advantage of you.”

Ishizu nodded her head. Kikyinn smiled, and then ran off in a third direction from Kakashi or Yamaki.

Ishizu looked around. Oh, good. Now she was confused, annoyed, alone AND she had a bunch of new terms to speak with Hinata-sama about. She sighed, and decided to start her search at the local book shop.
