I groaned again as I was the only one left without a simulation mission partner, as always. At that time, I couldn't be bothered who became my partner as long as I have one. But back then, I sure didn't know how lucky I was.

Then one day, 'Evil Incarnate' came along under the name Hyuuga Hanabi. She was eight and was home schooled, being a Hyuuga and all. She was a year younger but was so-called 'skilled' enough to be in our class.

"Hey! I'm Sarutobi Konohamaru and I guess I'm gonna be your partner. I like training to be a ninja and I dislike… I dunno what I dislike… Anyway, you are?" I said, trying to be cheerful. She replied back tonelessly, "Hyuuga Hanabi. I like quiet environment and playing small pranks. I hate loud noises and most of all, you." My grin was wiped of. You know what? I think I found out what I disliked that day. This is gonna be a superbly long term.

Since that day, I arrived home thoroughly pummeled and bruised. Evil Incarnate has the weirdest fighting techniques. She stops all my chakra! How is that fair play? She plays dirty as well. She always steps on my scarf and use me as a dummy to practice on. Not to mention we are not really communicating.

Then, one day, when we were training. I tripped on my scarf. And to make matters worst, behind me was a really steep cliff. I fell off the edge. I was pretty sure I was a goner, but then something clamped on my wrist.

She was hanging on a chakra rope and holding on my wrist. Amazingly, she pulled me up. "Thanks," I muttered, as I sat on the cold rock. "Well, it's a one-timer," she panted in a voice a never heard before. When she realized she had let slip of her cool, she said "How am I suppose to make fun of you if you're dead?" tonelessly.

Perhaps, I was wrong. Maybe Evil Incarnate, no, Hyuuga is not that evil. "Thanks, Hyuuga" I mumbled as she walked off.
