[8] Friends

"I think we need to get you some new clothes." Kakashi says to his sister as they stand in front of a row of busy shops.

"Why would I need new clothes? I have the standard Anbu uniform." Kagami says back.

"Exactly. If you haven't noticed, which I'm sure you have, all the genin have outfits that are distinctly theirs. All Shinobi do. They only need to wear the designated clothing when on a mission of that rank.

A mission with the team they were given as genin does not have compulsory clothing unless that team is also their chunin or jonin team, which is very unlikely." He says stepping into the first shop.

She follows him silently, thinking about what he said. He had already tried to take her shopping before now, but was turned down immediately. Today is a rare opportunity that may never come again.

They browse for a while but don't seem satisfied with the clothing gene of the shop. They go through three more shops before finding one that looks promising.

Kagami seems happy with the type of clothing and complies to trying on the clothing Kakashi gives her. She comes out for his opinion since it is likely he knows more about clothes then her.

Some clothing turns out too revealing while others aren't fit for the art of being a Shinobi. Though the two seem to agree on an outfit rather quickly.

A black elbow length shirt that stops just before her belly button. She still wears the loose pants with her ninja pouch hanging loosely around he waist, her small back up version tied around her right leg just above her knee. Her katana still hanging diagonally from her left shoulder.

"I think this is the one. Plain, but its very you." Kakashi says while they walk back home from the trip.

Kagami nods.

"At least it isn't like anything Useless and Moron wear. Ehg." She says not looking away from the road ahead of her.

Kakashi sweat drops at her reasoning but silently agrees with her. He's happy that she was easy to agree with and didn't want to wear anything close to the kind that Sakura and Ino seem to take pride in wearing.

"When do we meet with the team to complete the assigned D-Rank missions?" Kagami asks as they head out again after changing Kagami's outfit.

"Hm? Ah, we need to meet them in, two hours ago." Kakashi says, acting as if nothing was out of the ordinary.

Kagami sighs and disappears with a small poof. Kakashi sighs and disappears along with her.

"YOU'RE LATE!!" Naruto and Sakura scream in unison as the two appear in front of them.

Sasuke gives them a glare, but you can tell it is slightly more potent than usual.

"C'mon the Hokage is going to assign us missions." Kakashi says and starts walking in the direction of the tower.

"I can't believe Kakashi-sensei still gets here late." Sakura grumbles to her two 'teammates'.

"Yeah! Yeah! It's even rubbed off onto Kagami-chan to now, believe it!" Naruto says rather loudly.

"Hn, it seems to be part of their personality now." Sasuke says back to them.

This continues of the whole way to the Hokages office. The whole time the siblings faces slowly become darker as the insults become more directed at them.

Kagami may not show emotion on her face, but when she wants to, she can definitely show it in her actions.

Kagami slams the Hokages door open so hard it sways on its hinges before falling off of them. The door handle wasn't looking the flashes either.

The Genin of the group, being too caught up in trying to insult the two, don't notice this action and continue to insult them while walking in with a irritated Kakashi behind them.

Azuma and his team stand flat against the windows, scared for their life's. Azuma even pulls his hands out to cover his three Genin with his body.

"Sorry for our lateness Lord Hokage we got caught up." Kagami says nodding her head.

"It is quite okay Kagami, I expect no less from your brother." The Hokage replies to her nicely, even if he is butchering her brother in everyday conversation.

"'Sorry Lord Hokage we got caught up.' Ha! You have to say that if you weren't late! Believe it!" Naruto yells pointing at Kagami.

"Naruto I would be careful if I was you." Shikamaru calls.

Now, what most new ninja don't know in this world is that, even if someone is an Anbu, you can still piss them off.

Kagami turns to look at him so slowly that the adults room gulps. The Genin stand there, not seeming to be scared at all.

"Maybe I would be on time if you stopped complaining and insulting everything I do." Kagami snaps at them.

"Stop acting all high and mighty we know you are just a transfer ninja that failed somewhere else." The Uchiha smirks at her, unaware of his hypocrisy.

"All you ever do is say 'One wrong move and you're dead' or 'A ninjas greatest asset is their speed'. Well you have no speed! You are the slowest ninja I know!" Naruto screams at the top of his voice.

"Naruto!" Don't say that! It's just plain rude!" Despite Kagami being rude to her, Ino realised her faults after consulting her teammates after the mission.

Kagami feels a new found liking to the girl.

"Naruto's right! All you ever do is be late and lazy around with Kakashi-sensei! If I wasn't wrong I would believe you're bringing the team down!" Kagami's head snaps to Sakura before she turns to the Hokage.

"Sakura, Naruto!" Kakashi mutters, grabbing their collars.

"I agree." Sasuke says, putting his hand up.

"I would like to be extracted from this dysfunctional group of people." She almost growls.

"I'm sorry Kagami but that is not possible as–"

"YES! TAKE HER OFF THE TEAM! NO ONE WANTS HER HERE!" Sakura and Naruto have never said a sentence so long while staying in sync.

"NARUTO! SAKURA!" Kakashi and the Hokage seem to be taking after Naruto and Sakura as they yell at the said two at the same time.

Kakashi slams his fists into the tops of both their heads.

"And you too Sasuke!" Kakashi yells and biffs him too.

"You know what!?" The whole rooms attention is bought to Naruto once again. "Kiba is right! You are getting special treatment!"

And that was it. Kagami's breaking point. She spins around so fast that no one notices and appears next to the two Genin.

Everyone's eyes widen as they notice her change in position.

"So I'm slow huh?" She whispers into their ears before jumping up and attempting to slam her shin into their skulls.

But she pulls up at the last minute and just skims the tips of their heads. She lands safely near the door.

"If you ever go on a mission higher than a D-Rank, I hope you come back with at least one Genin alive." Kagami then walks out of the room.

Everyone stays silent.

"I'll go after her." Ino starts towards the door before turning back. "C'mon Choji, Shikamaru, Azuma-sensei."

s.h.o.u.t.

The team spent an hour searching for the girl before their Sensei split from the group to cover more ground. Even with this it took them an extra hour for the three Genin to find her.

"Is that her?" Ino whispers to Choji, who is munching on chips next her.

"Looks to be. I think she is talking to someone." Choji seems to be right as Kagami was talking to herself.

"Shikamaru go do something intelligent." Ino says and pushes the boy forwards.

"Fine. What a drag." He mumbles the last under his breath.

He drags his feet towards the girl, only now noticing she was sitting in front of the memorial stone.

"You know you worried all of us?" Shikamaru says as he stands over the girl.

"Well you shouldn't worry. I shouldn't mean anything to any of you." Kagami replies flatly.

"Well it seems you don't mean anything to your team. But the rest of us don't mind you." Shikamaru cringes and the thought of how blunt his words are.

"Well don't get too attached. I will be leaving soon. I told the Hokage I didn't want to do this in the first place." She mumbles, hugging her knees.

She looks up at the sky and sighs.

"Are the rest of you going to sit there and watch or are you going to come out?" She tilts her head to the skirts on the training ground, waiting for movement.

"Coming!" Ino yells and pulls Choji out with her.

She sits down in front of the girl and smiles brightly.

"So, tell me everything."

I'm on holiday now so I might be updating more often or maybe just have longer chapters. ~shadows
