LAST TIME


"Sakura, how did you get a bell?" one of the Naruto's asked me; they had stopped their attack on Kakashi, even the one behind Kakashi let go of him to look at me.

"Ya see, I knew Kakashi-sensai was expecting me to attack him, so I just waited for you to attack him instead," I started. "When I saw that Kakashi-sensai was surprised that it was aNaruto and not me that attacked him from behind, that's when I just went for it. He must have thought I was about to attack and that's why he moved to the side but that's what I wanted him to do; the bells were exposed so I just grabbed one with my mouth since my hands were occupied at the moment," I said wiping the saliva from the bell with the clothes I was wearing. "I don't know why but I was always my fastest when I use my arms and legs while running. It was actually team work!" I finished. "Thanks, Naruto!"

"Yeah! Now, let's that other bell!" Naruto shouted. But suddenly all these shuriken came out of nowhere and hit Kakashi dead on! "What the hell? Are you out of your mind Sasuke?"

"Yeah, you went to far!" I agreed.

"Not my fault he left his guard down," Sasuke said coming out nowhere.

"Wait minute, this isn't suppose to happen so quickly!" I thought. "Where's the part where Naruto get strung up by the rope?" Oh my gawd, I have changed the Naruto script! "Sasuke isn't supposed to be in this scene! He's not supposed to fight until the next episode." Well, I'm screwed... I hope Kakashi is alright because that was not apart of the show. "OH MY LORD! WHAT IF I KILLED KAKASHI-SENSAI?"
************************

We all watched as Kakashi-sensei fell to the ground but he transformed into a log right before our eyes. I released the air I didn't know I was holding. "Damn it Sasuke! Now we don't know where he is!" I shouted.

"Shut up, I thought he dropped his guard!" Sasuke said back.

"You know what? That's why you look like a peacock!" I said irritated. "I really should have seen this coming!" I thought sighing. "We have to come up with a new plan!" I informed the two idiots and yes, Sasuke has proven himself to be an idiot!

"I say we split up so it can be easier to find him," Sasuke suggested... like I said IDIOT!

"That won't--" but before I could finish they had already disappeared. "......Work." Why won't they listen to me? "Now, I have to find them before time runs out!" I sighed.

"Sakura... behind you," a voice whispered. I turned around making a 'huh' sound.

I came face to face with Kakashi's... face. I screamed out in fright.... why the heck is he all up in my grill? "Man, that's not funny!" I yelled finally catching my breathe. "I got heart problems!" Of course I was lying. Me, having heart problems... not with all the things I be doing.

"Sorry, consider it payback for that kick to the chin," Kakashi said making me laugh nervously.

"Man, I knew he was mad!" I thought rubbing the back of my head.

"Ya know, I was quite surprised when you wanted to fight too," Kakashi said. "Most girls would have stood by and watched someone else fight for them."

"I'm not most girls," I said grinning. "Now if you will excuse me... I have to go find my teammates so we can get that last bell." I walked off leaving Kakashi standing there. But suddenly all these leaves surrounded me making it impossible for me to see anything.

When the leaves finally subsided it looked as if I was in a forest. "Wasn't I just in a clearing? And it was sunny!" I thought. "Is this an illusion jutsu?"

"Sakura..." a strained voice got my attention, I turned around to see a shuriken infested Sasuke coming my way. "Sakura... h-help me. Please help me!"

"No," I said looking away. "You deserve it for leaving me!"

"W-What?" Sasuke said trying to stand.

"Sorry, what I meant to say was... oh, hell no!" I corrected myself. "First of all, Sasuke wouldn't ask for help, let alone my help, even if he was dying! Second, who do you think I am? Some dumb fan girl? Hell to the naw!" I finished completely turning around. "I have to go find the real Sasuke and Naruto too! And next time try using someone I like!" And then I just walked away, man! I know what I did was wrong considering I knew what was going to happen. But I wanted Kakashi to take me seriously even though I'm in Sakura's body.

Inner Mayu: Yeah! Mayu Ishikari! That's me!

**********************

I continued walking around looking for either Sasuke or Naruto. Couldn't find them at all! "Man, they sure can hide well!" I thought grumbling. I felt myself step on something but I just ignored it and kept walking until that thing made a noise. I walked backwards and something made a noise again. So, I walked forward again but this time it wasn't just a noise.

"Would you quite walking on my head? !" it sounded like Sasuke's voice, I looked back and saw Sasuke head sticking out of the ground.

I stared at him for a long time and he stared back at me. I just started laughing on the spot, I heard Sasuke yelling at me but I was laughing too hard to hear what he was saying. After I finally calmed down, I crawled over to Sasuke seeing as how I was already on the ground. "How did you get there?" I asked even though I already knew.

"Just help me out of here!" Sasuke said glaring with his little head. I laughed one more time before attempting to get him out of the ground.

"See, this is what happens when you don't listen to the smart one in the group!" I said wagging my finger in his face; Sasuke grumbled some more making me laugh a little.

"I've got to get a bell before lunch and that doesn't leave much time!" Sasuke said once I had got him free.

"You're going to need my help," I said.

"No I won't," Sasuke said walking away.

"Oh, says a guy who body was stuck in the ground a few minutes ago!" I said grinning making Sasuke stop in his tracks.

"That was a one time thing!" he said.

"Suuuuuure!" I said in a sing song voice.

"Awhile ago I touch the last bell, next time I'll get it," Sasuke said. "I can't believe you got a bell before me."

"Well that's because I used Naruto. He was the distraction while I was getting the bell," I explained. "Maybe we could try that again. But we need to find Naruto so our teamwork could be more complex and Kakashi-sensei won't know what hit him!"

"Hn," was his replied making my eyebrow twitch.

"Naruto might be a fool and you might be a idiot sometimes but that's what I'm here for! You and Naruto are strong, well so am I but, we could really use your strengths too," I said. "We really do have a balanced team. We have to use that to our advantage."

"Fine, let's go find him," Sasuke said. "There's no way I'm going back to the academy and if teamwork is the only way I can pass then I guess I can cope with your idea."

"Was that a compliment?" I thought looking at Sasuke strangely.

"We better hurry," Sasuke said, just then the bell rang!

"Crap! We wasted too much time!" I said running off, I was plaining on going to those stumps.

***************************

Here we were, the three of us, sitting by the stumps. Well, Sasuke and I were sitting, Naruto was tied to one of the stumps. The fool tried to sneak lunch! Anyway, all of our stomachs were growling... well, mine was saying 'Feed me wench!' but the others didn't need to know that! Time had run out and Kakashi was standing in front of us with his arms cross; he looked disappointed. I don't know why, I got one of the bells!

Inner Mayu: CHA! Girl power ROCKS!

"Uh-oh, is that your stomachs growling? That's to bad," Kakashi said. "Oh, except for Sakura, she's the only one who got one of the bells."

"Yeah but, Naruto helped me!" I protested. "Though he didn't know he was... we still used teamwork! And I'm pretty sure that Sasuke would have helped us too, if he wasn't such a bird brain!" I saw Sasuke glare at me but I just shrugged.

"Yes, I am well aware of your teamwork with Naruto," Kakashi said walking towards this huge black rock. "Did you guys look at this stone? The names engraved on it? They were all ninja who are honored as heros in our village."

"That's it! That's it! That's it! Now I know!" Naruto suddenly yelled out; he was wiggling because he was still tied to the stump. "I've decided that I want my name engraved on that stone! I'm not going to live and die for nothing like a dog! I'm going to be a hero! A hero!"

"They are... a special kinda hero," Kakashi continued.

"What kinda heroes are they?" Naruto asked. "Come on tell us!"

"They are all... K.I.A," Kakashi answered softly.

"That sounds real cool!" Naruto grinned.

"You really think so?" I asked. "Because K.I.A. means Killed In Action! They all died." Naruto got real quiet after realization dawned on him; actually everyone was silent.

"This is a memorial stone. The names of my closest friends are engraved here," Kakashi said staring at the stone.

"Man, I didn't come here to cry!" I thought rubbing my eyes.

Inner Mayu: I hate sad moments! SO SAD!

"Since Naruto and Sakura worked together, I'll give you another chance to get the last bell," Kakashi said turning to us. "But this time I'm going to make it harder on you. You will have three hours to get the last bell. Eat lunch now to build up strength but, Naruto doesn't get any!" Naruto growled almost as loud as his stomach. "It's your punishment for breaking the rules and trying to eat by yourself... and if any of you tried to feed him, that person would automatically fail. I make the rules and you will follow them. Got it?"

Kakashi sure can be scary if he wants to! Man, I'm pretty sure I was sweating bullets by now. "And I thought he was cool and mysterious before...!" I thought.

************************

"This lunch isn't all that bad!" I thought chowing down. "It isn't pizza or Wendy's but it's good enough." Sasuke was eating too, but Naruto was still tied to the stump. Kakashi could have untied him at least! Naruto stomach started growling again causing Sasuke and I to look at him.

"This is no big deal! I can go without eating for days!" Naruto yelled out. "Believe it! This is no big deal!"

And then his stomach started growling again causing his grin to falter. "No problem...." I heard Sasuke sigh so I turned to him. His hand was held out to Naruto with his food in it.

"Here," is what he said.

"Wow Sasuke, I didn't think you were that kinda guy!" I praised him. "I'm so proud!" I said wiping away a fake tear.

"What?" Naruto asked, I could tell he was confused.

"Kakashi's gone, we need to get that bell as a team," Sasuke explained. "If Naruto's hungry he will be weak and ineffective, and that hurts the team and jeopardizes the mission." Sasuke looked at me and then smirked. O.o; Uh.... why is he looking at me like that? "It's just like you said we need my strengths as well as Naruto's and your strategies. A balanced team."

"Aww! Thank you Sasuke!" I said grinning. "You're going to bring tears to my eyes!"

"Whatever...." Sasuke said looking away. I picked up my boxed lunch and pick up some rice with the chopsticks and then I stood up.

"Open wide Naruto!" I said in a sing song voice.

"Kay!" Naruto said blushing.

"Stop blushing! I already told you that I don't like you!" I scolded. "Someone already likes you anyway."

"Okay.... thanks!" Naruto said opening his mouth so I could feed him.

Inner Mayu: CHA! I'd rather feed GAARA!

"Hurry up! He could come back any minute! Stop chatting and feed him!" Sasuke ordered.

"Stop chatting and feed him!" I mimicked in a high pitched voice; as if my voice wasn't already high pitched. "Shut up bird boy!" I said making him glare; I stuck the food in Naruto open mouth. But as soon as he said 'mmm mmm good!' a cloud of smoke suddenly got our attention.

"YOU!" Kakashi yelled scary the hell out of me!

"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!" I screamed and I was gonna continue screaming until... "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh--" Sasuke clamped a hand over my mouth.

"You broke the rules!" Kakashi continued, the smoke was gone. "I hope you're ready for the punishment!" he said and then started to do hand signs; thunder clouds started forming scaring me even more. "Any last words?"

"Ya see what had h-happen was--" I couldn't even finish my sentence.

"B-B-But you said...." Naruto began to say.

"Yes...?" Kakashi asked looking oh so intimidating.

"You said that there was three of us, that's what you said and that's why... Sakura and...." Naruto began.

"We're all on this squad and we're all in this together!" Sasuke finished.

"Yeah! I second the notion!" I said or how ever you say that quote.... Don't look at me like that! "We are one!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Believe it! That's right!" Naruto said.

"The three of you are one? That's your excuse?" Kakashi asked looking at us with his eye, how very intimidating!

"Yeah! Believe it!" Naruto shouted. Kakashi chuckled and then his eye closed.

"You pass!" he said.

"Huh?" Naruto said dumbfounded.

"What?" I said, I too acted dumbfounded. "Could you repeat that?"

"You... pass," Kakashi repeated slower.

"I'm not that slow!" I thought glaring at our sensei.

"You're the first squad that ever succeeded, the others did exactly what I said and fell into every trap. They couldn't think for themselves," Kakashi began explaining as the thunder clouds disappeared. "A ninja must see through deception. In the ninja world those who break the rules are scum, that's true but... those who abandon their friends are worst than scum."

I smiled and patted myself on the back mentally. I saw that Naruto was about to cry and Sasuke just smirked. "He's uh... ya know... kinda cool," Naruto said still looking like he was about to cry.

"The training is over! Everyone passes!" Kakashi said. "Squad 7 starts their first mission tomorrow!" he said giving us a thumbs up.

"I did it! I'm a ninja! Ninja! Ninja!" Naruto said, he really did cry!

"I'm a ninja! It's your birthday! I'm a ninja!" I sang jumping up in down. "Dude, we're ninja now!"

"Yeah! Isn't this great!" Naruto said.

"Dude, I'ma go to parties and people won't even know I'm there and they will be like 'Did you here something?' and they'd look up and see me and I'm going to be on the ceiling! And they're gonna be like 'What the-- A ninja, awesome!' I'm gonna be like 'Just throw the cake up here please!'" I said grinning. "Dude, I'm a ninja!"

"You made no sense," Sasuke said glancing at me.

"Yes! We must go ninja in the night!" I continued. "Shall we?" And then I started singing like a fool!

'Like the shadow serpent, silence is my veil!

Yes, and with the precision of the cobra... ninja kill and leave no traaaaaaaaaaiiilll!!!

We know ancient stuff... and we have fun f---ing things up! For instants!

In the confusion of a smoke bomb... I could remove you draws and you wouldn't even notice!

I can jump roof to roof and get my friends free cable... it's BAD ASS!!

I used my ninja star... to pick the lock... and steal your car!

ROCK 'N ROLL

Ninja of the niiiiight!
Ninja of the niiiiight!
Ninja of the NIIIIIGHT!!'

"Where exactly did you learn that song?" Kakashi asked me.
"What's a car?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah, and what are draws?" Naruto asked. I laughed nervous after that.

"Um...." I said. "Me and my big randomly singing mouth!" I thought.

"Never mind that...." Kakashi said turning around. "Let' go home." He walked away; Sasuke and I followed after him.

Inner Mayu: CHA! Gaara here I come!
