Beep beep beep beep

Kakashi blinked and yawned. It took him a moment to realize that the annoying noise was his alarm clock, since he almost never needed it to wake up. How long did I stay up last night worrying about the team selections to sleep until my alarm?, he asked himself as he shut off his alarm.

He got up and quickly slipped on his plain black ninja garb over his blue under shirt and mask and grabbed his father's sword. He looked in the mirror before heading out, only to stop and go back for his headband.

Now he was a ninja, and really, it took them long enough to let him graduate. He was about to graduate at age five when his father killed himself, and the Hokage decided to make him wait to the normal age of 12 to become a ninja for fear of his mental health. Kakashi shook his head and locked his door. It didn't matter anymore. He was a ninja here and now and he was going to make up for his fathers shame.

Now he just had to get to the academy on time for the team selections because he slept over longer then he thought he did.

xXx

He was one of the last ones there but there was still plenty of time before the teacher came to call out the times. He looked around. The Hyuga twins were sitting next to each other, surprising everybody as they never seemed to be on good terms. Inochi was chatting away with Shikaku, who just looked bored, and Choza was eating his chips beside them, looking like he was only half listening. Rin was talking to Tsume and sending his glances every so often, Shibi was sitting off away from everybody else, Gai was explaining Youth to a civilian girl that Kakashi remembered like weapons and Obito-

Kakashi paused and looked over the room once more. Obito wasn't there. Kakashi sweatdropped and sighed. He knew the boy was late about two or three times a week but to day of all days was the day he chose to be late for the week? He had wanted to talk to the idiot Uchiha before the teacher got there. He didn't really like the boy, and he felt that Obito didn't really like him either, but Kakashi was the Rookie of the year and Obito was the Dead-last. They would be on a team together, whether they liked it or not and Kakashi wanted to make a truce. He didn't want to deal with Obito yelling at him for a fight every time he brushed the Uchiha off.

Anyway, Obito had to get there soon, because the teacher was standing in the front of the room now. If Obito didn't get there before his name was called would get him in trouble with their new sensi and Kakashi had better things to do besides listening the idiot get chewed out.

"Team 6 is Shikaku Nara, Choza Akimichi, and Inochi Yamanaka. Team 7 is Rin Nohara, Kakashi Hatake, and Obito U-"

"Sorry I'm late!" Obito yelled as he ran into the class room, interrupting the teacher. The teacher just glared and pointed to the only empty seat, which just happened to be the one beside Kakashi. Obiot smiled sheepishly and sat down and the teacher started over on Team 7.

"As I was saying... Team 7 is Rin Nohara, Kakashi Hatake, and Obito U-"

"What?!" Obito yelled and jumped up. He pointed angily at Kakashi. "Why am I on a team with this jerk?!"

"Obito!" The Teacher yelled and Obito faltered. "Your team is balenced, with the Rookie of the year, Kakashi, the Top Kunoichi, Rin, and the Dead-last, you. Now would you let me continue?!"

Obito flinched and sat down quietly, like he did whenever he got reminded of his Dead-last statas. Kakashi could remember a time when the Uchiha was doing fine in class. Not the best, but certainly close and no where near the Dead-last. It was also a time when he was late nearly everyday and didn't have the emo mood swings.

But that was before it happened.

Kakashi supposed it made perfect sense. To have your whole family killed by your Clan Head would mess anyone up. The Clan Head being the only Uchiha that thought Obito had potential made it even worse. Yes, Itachi did a lot of damage to Obito, the only reason Kakashi put up with him nicer then he would have anyway.

"Team 8 is Hiashi Hyuga, Tsume Inuzuka, and Shibi Aburama. Team 9 is Hizashi Hyuga, Mighto Gai-"

Kakashi stopped listening at this point, having heard his team and lost intrest.

xXx

"Ok, lets introduce ourselves! State your name, your likes and dislikes, and your dreams for the future." Their Jonin Sensei said, smiling at the three genin. Kakashi couldn't decide if the blond infront of them who was sitting on the railing on the roof like it was nothing was just natually cheerful or if it was a front. Could anyone even be this cheerful in the first place? Their Sensei had spikey blond hair pushed back by his Leaf headband and bright blue eyes behind glasses. Kakashi could tell there was a Genjutsu on the glasses, though, hiding some kind of scar. He could see the tip of it coming out from under his glasses. And he had the oddest whisker-like cheek marks and the stupidest thing for orange. Kakashi come out of his thoughts when his sensei pointed to him. "You first, silver."

He opened his mouth to answer the question when Rin interrupted. "Sensei, why don't you show us what we're supossed to answer you with?"

Their sensei smiled bigger. "Good idea. Lets see... My name is Naruto Uzumaki, I like Ramen and a good battle, I dislike people who turn their back on their teammates and the two minutes it takes for the ramen to get done, and my dream for right now is to help you three become a strong team. Got it?" Naruto asked and the three nodded. He pointed to Kakashi again. "Your go."

"My name is Kakashi Hatake..." He paused. How much should he tell them. He smirked under his mask when a thought came to him. He could totally mess with him. "My likes aren't my dislikes and my dislikes aren't my likes... Dreams? I had one of those last night..."

Silence greeted him. Naruto's smile turned from overly cheerful to nervous and slightly amused, Rin just looked confused, and Obito looked annoyed.

"All we learned was his name..." The dark haired boy huffed. Naruto shook his head before pointing to Rin.

"Your turn missy!"

Rin nodded. "Ok. My name is Rin Nohara, I like..." She paused and looked to him and blushed. If anything, this seemed to make Obito even more annoyed. Rin coughed and tried to get her blush to go down as she continued. "I dislike Kunoichis that make it seem like were all weak and only rely on our looks..." She paused, trying to think if she really hated anything else and Kakashi watched Naruto nodded in agreement to the Kunoichi thing. "I don't think I really hate anything else... My dream is to become top field medic nin!"

"Good!" Naruto smiled. "Your turn, goggles." Obito glared and messed with his orange goggles. Naruto laughed. "Oh, don't look at me like that. I like your goggles! If you haven't noticed, I happen to like the color orange." Obito smiled and nodded.

"My name is Obito Uchiha. I like..." His eyes became unfocas for a moment before he snapped back. "Er... I mean, I like..." Suddenly he blushed and glanced at Rin out of the corner of his eye, not that the girl noticed. Kakashi and Naruto both did however, and Kakashi wanted to facepalm at how he missed Obito crush on Rin for so long. Thinking back, it seemed obvious. Obito shook his head. "Anyway. I dislike... well, I have to agree with sensei! I hate anyone who would leave their teammates behind! My dream is..." Obito, who have been smiling before, frown. "To kill a certain someone."

Naruto frowned and Kakashi was caught off guard how quickly he had become serious. Silence greeted Obito's statement. It was an uncomfertable silence, unlike the confused on that fell after Kakashi's statement. Rin was looking at Obito with a mix of worry and sadness, Naruto was glaring at the ground with his glasses magical staying on his nose and not slipping off, and Kakashi felt awkward. He had no idea what to do so he just mess with his father's sword. After a moment, Naruto looked back up and smiled as if that never happened.

"Ok, great! Now that we know who we are-"

"We know nothing about Kakashi!" Obito yelled, thankfully not in his emo mode. Naruto just continued talking.

"-Meet me at Training Ground 7 tomorrow at 9." He got up and balanced on the bar, facing away from them, to leave. He paused, as if considering or remembering something, before looking at them over his shoulder and smirking. It was weird after getting so used to him smiling. "Oh, and don't eat breakfest, kiddies~! You might threw up."
