Alright so I rewrote this first chapter. And will rewrite the others and update. I just felt like it wasnt how I wanted it besides the fact that it was going way off course haha. Sooo... yup. Please let me know what you think of this new version.

New Summary

Why is it she seemed to find herself in these kinds of situations. And most of all with him of all people? He had wanted to kill her for crying out loud! She had offended him in one of the worst ways and was now sentenced to pay for it with her life, at his hand. But damn, why couldn't he just get it over with already? He had tortured her by confusing her with his intentions. Buying her things, trying to comfort her, talking to her. Why would he do these things if he is going to have to kill her anyway? WHY?

CHAPTER 1

NEW EXPERIENCE

The original rookie nine stood in the Hokage's office awaiting her announcement. Tsunade eyed them all wondering if what she had planned was going to be disastrous or not. Kakashi was reading his book while leaning against the wall closest to the door. He seemed uninterested already knowing what was going to be said.

"As an exercise for you I am going to change up your teams" Tsunade began.

Sakura felt like throwing a fit. She didn't want to be separated from Sasuke. Sasuke much like others of the group were surprised but remained silent. Ino hoped she would be on Sasuke's team. Naruto went over who he would rather be partnered with than Sasuke.

Tsunade poured herself some sake into her cup, "the point of this is to see who can adapt to working with others they are not familiar with. In real missions allies can appear but if you don't know how to adapt to work together it wont matter how strong or how many you are."

A few grunts were heard. Tsunade continued, "I also wanted to inform you that the Kazekage will be in town for the next six months. He and his siblings will take part in training sessions and missions for Konoha."

"And what's the purpose of that?" Sakura couldn't help but ask.

Taking a sip from her cup Tsunade smiled as if what she was about to say was a joke, "Its purpose is to familiarize Konoha and Suna with each other so the bonds can grow stronger."

"Wait so if that's true then isn't someone supposed to go to Suna?" Naruto wondered.

Tsunade sighed. Why did Naruto have to show that he had some brain at a time like this? She was trying to avoid that subject until the time came closer. "Yes and they will. Whoever the Kazekage chooses to return with him to Suna will stay there for six months before returning home"

"When will they be here?" Sakura asked.

"This afternoon" Tsunade wanted to hurry this up so she could immerse herself in the gamble she had been waiting on for the past week. "Now listen up I haven't chosen your new team mates for you. Just line up."

They did as they were told. All nine looked around questioningly. When they were done Tsunade pointed to each of them while counting down the line, "Remember your numbers, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three"

Sasuke felt as if he was in kindergarten. Tsunade poured herself yet another cup after finishing the current one, "alright now go stand with the other two people who have the same number as you"

Naruto frowned, "I'm on the same team as Sasuke again"

Sasuke glared, "Can't we switch?"

Hinata to her misfortune ended up on Sasuke's team and to her amazing luck the same as Naruto's. Tsunade felt a bit annoyed, "No you can't switch"

"But I thought the point was to work with new people" Sasuke muttered.

"I want to be on Sasuke's team!" Ino whined. "I'll switch you Hinata"

Hinata wanted to comply if only to get away from the scary Uchiha but the look Tsunade gave her made her think otherwise. Sakura groaned, "Why couldn't I get Sasuke?Kiba scratched his head, "But Sakura is so loud"

"No I'm not" Sakura boomed.

"Look your not going to switch so don't even try. The teams are set, I already wrote them down Tsunade finished writing the teams down. Kakashi will train Sasuke's team. Kurenai will teach Kiba's team and Asuma will teach Ino's team."

Kakashi pushed away from the wall, "my team meet outside in five minutes by the training grounds"

"I suggest the rest of you go find Kurenai or Asuma" Tsunade smirked seeing their reactions.

After they were all dismissed they each headed out to search for their new teachers. Sasuke, Hinata and Naruto walked in group to the training grounds. Naruto going on about how he didn't like being stuck on the same team with Sasuke and getting Kakashi as a teacher again. Hinata wished that Kiba or Shino had gotten onto her team. If she knew that was the way the Hokage was going to decide then she would have switched places with one of the other girls. Ino or Sakura would have done it in a heartbeat she was sure.

Kakashi smiled seeing his familiar two students. He thought Hinata was going to have a rough time adjusting to his much harsher methods of teaching. When the three students sat down on the grass Kakashi started, "Alright so how about we get to know each other a bit more"

Naruto groaned.

"State your names and anything else you want about yourself. It doesn't have to be incredibly detailed. Anything will do. Naruto you start."

Naruto smiled broadly, "I'm Naruto Uzumaki and one day I'm going to be the Hokage. I love ramen and hate bullies"

Sasuke went next, "Sasuke Uchiha. I don't like sweets, hate fan girls and hate weak people"

Hinata wished she would disappear. Especially when Sasuke had said he hated weak people, "I'm Hinata Hyuga." she paused not knowing what else to say, "… I like to read and am studying to become a medic ninja"

"Wow really? That's amazing!" Naruto was amazed. Hinata felt a rush of happiness until he opened his mouth to say, "Study hard so you can be as good as Sakura kay Hinata?"

'Idiot' Sasuke thought.

'Poor girl' Kakashi sighed before taking their attention, "Show up tomorrow at dawn right here so we can start our first training session together. Don't eat any breakfast"

"Yeah like I'm going to fall for that again" Naruto smirked. Sasuke nodded in agreement and Hinata... Had no idea what they were talking about.

Naruto left dragging Sasuke with him to the ramen stand. Kakashi said his goodbye and went off to who knew where to read his perverted book. That left Hinata… who retreated to her one bedroom apartment. It hadn't always been that way but ever since her father disowned her Hinata had taken to living in a rundown cheap apartment on the outskirts of town. There was hardly anything there but dirt, overgrown grass, cracked cement and the very few neighbors she had. Only three other apartments were part of the building she inhabited. One was vacant, another was occupied by a man who dealt with drugs and the last was a woman and man who were hardly ever home anyway.

Her apartment didn't have much in it, in her living room was a long light brown couch that the elderly lady who had lived there had left, a rectangle shaped rug with brown squares, a box she used as a table to eat on and a black fan which sat unused in the corner of the room. It was winter so it wasn't needed. Her dining room was empty, her kitchen had only the few mismatched cups and plates, the refrigerator held only bottles of water, a small pot of rice and a plate of chicken that her teacher Kurenai had given to her the day before. In her bedroom was a mattress on the floor with a thin faded blue blanket. Her only clothes were folded on the floor of her closet since she didn't have any hangers for them.

Going into her bathroom she stripped herself and turned on the water. Looking at herself in the mirror she knew she was happy even though she didn't have much. At least she could now grow her hair out to the length she wanted instead of keeping it in a boyish style to please her father. Soon she wasn't able to see herself in the mirror due to the steam her shower was giving off. She inwardly cheered for the simple pleasures in life like showering with hot water. True she wasn't a materialistic girl but now that she was on her own and she had to work for her things she grew to appreciate them more. At her fathers house things were just handed to her as if she were some delicate princess.

An hour later Hinata was arriving at her job at a small bar. Her co-worker Tskune smiled at her, "Your right on time"

Hinata smiled back. There weren't a lot of customers tonight considering it was Thursday but Hinata took their orders none the less. Tskune made the various colorfully named drinks while Hinata took them to the customers. There was normally another worker but they had called in sick. When it was getting close to dawn Hinata asked Tskune is she could leave since she had a ninja training session with her teacher. To this Tskune laughed, "your too nice to be training to kill people"

Hinata frowned at him. He just smiled and told her to go and do her best. In the training grounds Hinata sat on her own. The moist grass was starting to seep through her pants. Where were they? "He said dawn right?"

"Kakashi is always late" Sasuke informed startling Hinata.

"Oh y-yeah?" Hinata didn't like the idea of being alone with the infamous avenger. Word was that he had killed his own brother and was with Orochimaru until a year ago when Naruto and Sakura brought him back. She thought they would have killed him for his betrayal of the village but here he stood.

"Guess we had the same idea huh?" Naruto walked up to them.

Hinata looked on questioningly between Sasuke and Naruto. Naruto grinned showing her a lunch, "eat up"

"B-but he said-" she twiddled her index fingers together.

"trust me your going to want to eat" he handed her the box.

"I wouldn't" Kakashi yawned waving at them from a few feet away. "I tell you things for a reason"

"Hey last time-" Naruto began.

"Who said this was going to be the same?" Kakashi interrupted. "Today's exercise will be simple. You have to run ten laps around where I have marked with flags."

The students looked where the flags were. It wasn't a huge circle but it wasn't small either. Naruto of course spoke out, "is that it? I can do that with my eyes closed"

Sasuke rarely agreed with his blonde best friend but nodded anyway. Hinata had other thoughts, 'its not because of me that he's going easy right?' she was mortified.

"Alright now go line up at the starting line" Kakashi motioned toward the red rope he had laid on the grass."

"after we do this lets do some real training" Naruto hated this easy task. He wanted to grow stronger not run in circles like the idiot everyone thought he was.

"Oh we will" Kakashi smirked behind his black mask. "Ready… set… go" at the same time he said go he finished forming hand seals that made his students crash face first onto the wet grass.

"Hey what the!" our favorite blonde fox boy growled.

Sasuke groaned slightly at the pressure on his back. He felt as if there was someone as heavy as a damn horse on his back. He lifted his head enough to see Hinata had her cheek firmly pressed on the grass. Her eyes were clenched shut and her tiny hands formed fists.

"I want ten laps. And keep in mind that I am considered the hardest teacher for a reason. I will not be going easy for anyone" Kakashi enjoyed seeing his male students angry. He felt a bit bad for Hinata but he knew some hard training would do her good. He had always thought that she needed to stop being treated like a princess and more like a ninja or else she would never get stronger.

"what the hell did you do?" Sasuke managed to choke out. He felt as if the breakfast he had eaten would soon be thrown up on the grass under him. Not a good picture considering he couldn't even move himself enough to not get dirty from his own vomit. Naruto wouldn't admit it but he felt the same.

"I increased gravity on you" their teacher replied as if it was plainly obvious and nothing serious at all. "So… ten laps come on. You have to finish soon so we can start the 'real training' right Naruto?"

"Son of a…" the blonde growled.

Sasuke wouldn't give his teacher the satisfaction of seeing him unable to finish the laps so one by one he forced his limbs to push his body up onto his feet. He stood a bit crippled but started to take slow steps forward anyway. Naruto who refused to be outdone by his rival started doing the same. That left Hinata… sad to say she couldn't get onto her feet at all. She was currently on her knees trying to push her left side up by pushing her left palm against the grass. Kakashi couldn't help but steal glances at her raised behind every once in awhile. Damn him and his perverted books. He was turning into a pedophile. Well, Hinata wasn't a child but she may as well be since he was a good ten years older than her.

Hinata finally got to her feet seeing that Sasuke and Naruto were half way done with their first lap. With clenched teeth she started taking excruciatingly slow steps forward. She was happy she had gotten up at least but wouldn't rest until she was at least two laps done. It was her personal goal. Hours later Kakashi lifted the jutsu seeing his students drenched in the morning rain, sweat and mud. Sasuke had made it to the eighth lap, Naruto to the seventh and Hinata had done four laps. She was proud at having done double than her personal goal but was now exhausted considering she hadn't ate or slept. Her eyes drooped every once in awhile.

Kakashi was reading his book, "your done for today. I suggest you all go home, take a hot shower and eat a hot meal"

"Lets go to Ichiraku's" Naruto suggested happily.

Sasuke grunted, "I'm going to take a shower"

Hinata wanted to go she honestly did but she had no money. She had been saving for a decent bed and was now so close to buying it. She didn't want to spend the money she had until the bed was in her room. "I want to shower too"

"Aw alright guess I'll go alone" Naruto grinned anyway.

They each went their own ways. Hinata wasn't paying much attention to where she was going and crashed into something. She felt something rough and grainy hold onto her ankles and wrists. Pain seared through them as the sand started to cut away through the top layer of skin.

"Gaara don't!" a female voiced. "if you kill her it'll raise tensions higher"

The sand slowly retreated from Hinata who froze in horror at seeing Gaara and his siblings. Thankful for the sister Temari who had spoken out Hinata didn't move in the hopes he wouldn't chase after her if she ran. Not that her legs were able to run anyway. She was still exhausted.

Kankuro helped Hinata on her feet, "Are you okay?"

Hinata nodded numbly still afraid of Gaara who only glared at her. When they left on their way Hinata let herself fall to her knees. She felt as if she had come face to face with death itself only to leave with her life.

In the meantime Kankuro and Temari were trying to figure out where the shopping district was. Gaara could care less and wandered off on his own. They didn't have any missions for Konoha for them so they were left to explore.

"Yo Gaara!" Naruto called out.

Gaara contained his smile. Naruto was someone he could actually relate to. Maybe that's why he could actually stand him. Both had been shunned from society at a young age because of the demons inside of their bodies. "Naruto"

"Have some ramen" Naruto gestured to the seat next to his.

When Gaara sat down Naruto asked, "So how do you like Konoha so far?"

"Too green"

"Ha-ha well I guess it is compared to Suna a desert city"

Gaara nodded and started to eat along his first friend. When both were done Naruto paid and walked off with Gaara, "So why didn't you guys get partnered up with us if your going to be taking on missions for Konoha?"

"we did. I'm on Kakashi's team"

Naruto's jaw dropped, "awesome! We're on the same team!"

Gaara raised an eyebrow, "Two demon vessels on one team?"

Naruto shrugged, "Aw come on. Hey I know! Lets go tell the others!" then it hit him… "Heh never mind. I don't know where they live"

'Dumbass' "…" Gaara stared at him.

Hinata burst through her door feeling paranoid. She kept looking around as if Gaara had followed her to kill her in private. 'Don't be stupid' she thought. Still though she shuddered. "what a scary guy"

Stumbling to her closet she found what she wanted, pajamas and went to warm up water for a shower. Her muscles screamed as she undressed. She hadn't thought Kakashi's training would be so tough. Then again he wasn't considered the hardest teacher for nothing. Steam from the hot water filled the room and she stepped in to relax her muscles.

Who knew the next morning she would be so sore that simple sitting up would hurt? "Ugh" she groaned lifting her sore body from bed. After her shower yesterday she had eaten a light meal then crashed onto her bed for the rest of the day. It was a good thing she didn't need to work last night or else who knew if she would be able to even move.

An hour later she was waiting for Kakashi and the others by the empty field across from her apartments. Of course they didn't know she lived there. They probably thought she lived with Kurenai still. A lone figure made its way towards her. When he got closer she realized who he was and did her best to smile politely, "Good morning Sasuke"

"Morning" he replied in a lazy tone. Clearly he wasn't interested in talking to her so she bit her lower lip and turned away to wring her hands nervously. 'why couldn't it have been Naruto?' at least Naruto was nice to her.
