Gah!! Why can’t Kakashi be on time for once in his life?! He’d be late for his own funeral if he could! Silently seethed Kaminari. Kaminari kicked a rock in her moment of pure rage. “Ouch! The hell you do that for, Hiyori?!” Snapped Sakura as she gently rubbed her head. The glare she was sporting was anything but gentle.
opps, I guess the rock hit her Kaminari thought as she sweat dropped slightly. “sorry” Kaminari mumbled out. The long hours of waiting for their sensei made squad seven easily agitated in the early hours of the morning. Luckily, someone up there had pitied them.
“Hello guys, good morning! Sorry I’m late. I’m afraid I got lost on the road of life.” Kakashi said as he entered in a puff of smoke. Naruto, Sakura, and Kaminari’s respond to this excuse was instant.
“YOU LIAR!!” Three of the four members of squad seven shouted. “What point of “meet at the bridge at six a.m.” don’t you understand, Kakashi! The ‘six’, or the ‘a.m.’?” Kaminari snapped at Kakashi.
“Calm yourself, Sna--”
“And don’t call me ‘Snappy’!” Suddenly barked out Kaminari, effectively cutting Kakashi off. Kakashi ignored Kaminari as he handed Naruto, Sakura, and the Emo a piece of paper.
“These are the application forms for taking the Chunin Exams. Fill these out and turn them in tomorrow, at the Ninja Academy, in room 301, before three p.m.” Quickly explained Kakashi. Kaminari instantly saw a problem.
“Hey, Kakashi-sensei, where’s my application form?” Asked a confused Kaminari. Don’t tell me I pissed him off so bad he won’t let me participate! No, it can’t be true! Thought the electric Hiyori, internally panicking.
“Kaminari Hiyori, you are to report to the Hokage’s office immediately.” Kakashi said. “The rest of you have the rest of the day off.” Continued Kakashi before disappearing in a puff of smoke. Kaminari sighed as her shoulders slumped. She turned to the Hokage building and started walking towards it.
“Kaminari-san! Wait up!” Naruto said as he raced by his friend’s side. “I’ll come with you.” Naruto continued as he gave Kaminari that famous wide grin that always made her smile. Kaminari grinned weakly at her best male friend.
“Thanks, Naruto.” Kaminari said with slight gloominess in her voice as the NaruNari duo continued to walk towards the Hokage building. Kaminari blinked in surprise as she was joined by her other two teammates. They didn’t say anything, but them simply being there, made Kaminari feel better. Thanks you guys Kaminari thought as her grin gained more power.
The group of four stopped in front of the Hokage building and just looked at it for a moment before entering. Kaminari’s grin had vanished. The butterflies in Kaminari’s stomach were making it harder for her to climb the stairs to the Hokage’s office. Naruto put his hand on Kaminari’s shoulder and gave her another famous grin. This tamed the butterflies long enough for Kaminari to make it to the door of the Hokage’s office.
Well…it’s now or never Thought Kaminari as she gathered all of the courage she could muster and knocked on the office door. Upon hearing a “come in” from in side, Squad Seven entered the office. Shock entered Kaminari’s eyes as she recognized two figures also standing in the Hokage’s office one she was more happy to see then the other.
“Jessica! What are you doing here?” Kaminari grinned as she scurried to the girl with light brown hair. The rest of Kaminari’s squad held looks of pure confusion. Sakura opened her mouth to say something, but it was Naruto who shouted out the question.
“Hey, hey! Nari-san! Who’s that?” Naruto said as he pointed as Jessica. Kaminari and Jessica exchanged a look before returning there attention on Naruto.
“You really don’t remember Jessica, Naruto? We played together when we were like, six years old.” Kaminari said as she tilted her head. Naruto had a look of concentration on his face, but couldn’t quite remember. *Give him a clue?* Kaminari thought to Jessica. Jessica nodded as she established a mind link between herself and Naruto.
*I think I have the perfect memory for Naruto* Jessica thought back to Kaminari as she sent Naruto the memory.
A six year old version of Naruto was sitting on a swing in the park, waiting for his friend to come. “Naru-kun! Naru-kun!” Shouted a six year old version of Kaminari as she raced to her friend while dragging a light brown haired girl behind her.
Naruto jumped off the swing and gave a wide grin at his friend and a curious look at the girl she was dragging. “Naru-kun, I want you to meet my friend Jessica Kamiya! Jessica, this is my friend Naruto Uzumaki!”
Naruto’s eyes widened as the memory came to him he dashed at Jessica. “Jessica-san!” He shouted as he glomped his old friend. Sasuke seemed to glare at Naruto. The other figure who was standing away from Jessica, scoffed at the scene. Kaminari looked at the figure who was glaring back. Sakura walked up to Kaminari.
“Hey, do you know that boy?” Sakura asked Kaminari. They boy that Kaminari was staring at suddenly turned his glare on Sakura, instantly making her back off. Cha! What’s his problem anyway?! Inner Sakura shouted. The boy who looked a little older then the five genin walked up to Kaminari.
He looked down at her as he sneered, “It’s been a while, Kaminari Hiyori.” Everyone in the office looked at the two. Kaminari’s eyes held confusion. Have I met this guy before? He’s so familiar, but I don’t know who he is! Kaminari thought as she studied the male in front of her. He had short brown hair and dark blue eyes. Kaminari didn’t know how she suddenly knew the answer on who he was, maybe Jessica told her mentally, but the name came to her.
“Shimo Hiyori.” Suddenly said Kaminari.
“Ah, good. You all already know each other. That makes things easier.” The Hokage suddenly said. Kaminari sweat dropped. I totally forgot he was here… Thought Kaminari. “Now, for why I summoned you three here…”
