Just Partners Chapter 1

A/N: Hey guys this is my first fanfic. This just came to me while I was waching an old episode of NCIS that talks about Jenny's probie days. I hope you all enjoy and please leave reviews so that I may go on. Thanks:)- crazykaytie97

"There is no way I'm partnering up with a girl." Gibbs growled viscously, not caring if he hurt the young girl's feelings. It was just his opinion and he had no intention of changing it.

The young redhead who currently stood next to Morrow wasn't the least bit suprised at his reaction. In fact she had come to expect it. She had heard horror stories about the one Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, but despite his hard exterior she wasn't concerned. She knew that one way or another she would prove herself and he would be left in the dust. She smirked as she said, "You bring a whole new meaning to the word chauvanist, Jethro." She smiled inocently. Morrow had warned her not to call him Jethro right off the bat, but she didn't care he had pissed her off, now it was time for payback.

Gibbs looked at her in disbelief. Had she really just called him Jethro after they had known eachother less that two seconds. Unbelievable. He started to glare at her and was suprised when she didn't even flinch or take a step back, but actually took a step foward challanging him with her own glare. Which Gibbs had to admit looked pretty gruesome. Their faces were inches apart. They were so close that Gibbs could feel her breath on his skin and it tickled him. This was the first time that Gibbs actually looked in her eyes, and for a moment he was fazed. They were a beautiful emerald green that was of high contrast to her fiery red hair. They shined with excitement and just a hint of pride mixed with amusement. Pride because he was now checking her out in front of their boss. Amusement because he really didn't seem to care. Suddenly as if he were being pulled out of a trance he stepped back, refusing to look her in the eye. She didn't have to see her face to know that she was smiling.

She stepped back and smiled sweetly. She could tell by his flushed expression that she had this battle, but in no way had she won the war.

Gibbs suddenly turned his glare on an unsuspecting Morrow who just raised his hands in mock surrender. "What can I say she is a very resourceful woman," he said while turning so that he could face Jenny. He was very fond of Jennifer Sheperd and he had no doubt in his mind that she could hold her own against the infamous Special Agent Gibbs. He himself thought that he had made the right decision by putting them together. They wee both srong, stubborn, and pigheaded. A perfect match for one another, but Gibbs clearly didn't see it that way.

"She's in heels Morrow. You can't be a federal agent in heels." Gibbs snorted as if what he had just said was the most obvious thing in the world. Once again he turned his glare on the fiery redhead.

She glared at him. She was getting tired of this silly little game. He was clearly discriminating against her because she was a woman and she did not like it one bit. "And you would know this how?" She paused and then gasped in mock horror. "Don't tell me you have personal experience working in heels Jethro. I mean wow and here I was beginning to think that you were the strong and manly type, but apparantly you are way more in touch with your feminine side than I originally thought." She said sarcastically. She couldn't help but laugh at the flash of anger that crossed his. She was mocking and there was nothing he could say.

"Haha very funny and no. Who are you anyway?" He asked curiously. He really wanted to know who she was, and how the hell she wasn't afraid of him like most probies were.

She wrinnkled her nose at him and smiled. He waited yet she still didn't say anything. What did she want him to guess. Gibbs wasn't the guessing type, but she would figure that out sooner or later. She conttinued her silednt sreak, slowly raising her eyebrows and smirking. After a couple of seconds more Gibbs had enough. He was getting frustrated, but then he paused. This was what she wanted. She wanted him to get pissed. It was her way of payback, but Gibbs was to smart for that. He took a deep breath and smiled. He could wait all day the only question was could she?

Her smile faded at his reaction. Damn he was good. She had underestimated his ability of observation. He could clearly see right through her. He smiled inocently. She glared at him, but after a while she finally gave up. "Jenny Sheperd." Gibbs smiled.

"Now was that so hard, Jen?" He asked sarcastically. She immediatly tensed at the nickname. She hated that nickname and Gibbs could see that because he smiled triumphantly. Little did he know that the nickname had a fairly negitive effect, rather than just an annoying effect.

She snorted. "You have a problem with women. Sorry if you don't get any, but I've done nothing to you and you still need to treat me with respect." She snapped. He could tell that he had hit a nerve and that she had, had enough. Yes she was definitly getting annoyed. He stopped smiling. The game that they were playing was starting to get to her. Gibbs couldn't help but think that maybe he had been to hard on her, but he didn't dare let her see that.

"I'll make you a deal if you can prove to me that you can handle your own then you can be my partner." Gibbs said finally, giving her a break, but that break would not last long. He was determined to make her prove herself.

Her eyes suddenly brightened and a sweet smile began to spread across her face. Gibbs looked at Morrow and saw to his own suprise that he too was smiling. This was beginning to worry Gibbs. What were they not telling him? Even though he was worried he didn't dare let it show. Like always he never let his emotions surpass the inner layer. Morrow just smiled and whispered in his ears. "Rule #3. Never underestimate your opponent." Gibbs suddenly understood why they were smiling, but he didn't back down.

Jenny nodded, once again a smile lighting up her face. "0630 on the mat. Be ready Ageny Gibbs." She said with just a hint of sarcasm. Gibbs nodded and the redhead left the room. Gibbs once again looked at Morrow who looked pleasantly amused by the events that just took place in his office.

"What the hell was that all about?" Gibbs asked dumbfounded. Morrow smiled slightly. "Don't say that I didn't warn you," Morrow said simply. Gibbs heard him loud and clear though he wasn't really worried. His only thought was that this was only the beginnig and this was going to be fun.
