The last day of school... *sniff sniff*
Yup, today was the very last day of school...and my days of being in junior high are officially over. I am now a freshman! Hey, I'm glad I'm not one of those look-obsessed girls (aka - preps), otherwise that would have been the only thing I would have remembered.

And, like I said before, we got out at 9:30 AM (well, more like 9:33 AM, since the buses were a bit late. ^_^;)

Anyways, we went straight to the 'new' and improved junior high tennis courts for the first and last time. I ate two chocolate chip cookies, and played mostly with Kirby, Stevie, and Chelsea. Yeah, Kirby and I beat them by a long-shot.

...

Okay, okay, I know it's pretty obvious but, now I confess, I'm a Kakashi pervert. :P

That would explain all the saved pictures I have...they aren't all sexy; any one will do fine to please me. :P

Anyway, last night I stayed up a bit later than I planned to, to make that special farewell present to my history teacher, since I didn't have enough paper for the carving...thing. Right after the final bell of the year rang, I rushed to her doorway, where, she was standing, and gave her my present. She hugged me (just like everybody else :3) and she wished me a good summer and that I would do well in high school.

And I got my tie-dyed shirt. ^_^

Man, I'm going to miss my teachers from 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. ><
I hope I'll be able to see them, though...
Wah...

Picie time! And maybe a video... :D



Sweet... ^_^



I printed this out...also very sweet. ^_^

   Can't...stay...awake...-_-
I know I already said this before, but...I can't believe the last day of school is tommorow! It only seemed like yesterday when I entered 8th grade, and now I'm going to high school! O_O

Duhn, duhn, duhhhhn.

Yeah, high school still sounds like a whole other world to me right now. My parents said it'd be okay, but, well...IT'S HIGH SCHOOL! O_O

I don't wanna go... ><

I took the Science exam, and I found out today that I made an 87 on it. That thing was really hard, I was sure I wouldn't do well. Now I'm glad! ^_^

In Pre-Algebra...oi! Most of the problems were pretty easy; it was just the time limit that troubled me. Shortly ater I turned my test in, the bell rang (yikes...)

In Art, we did tie-dyed shirts. Most of us, including myself, finished rather early, so we had 30 mintues to spare.

Yeah, I brought two white shirts to school, because I remembered Kirby saying that she didn't have any shirts, so when I found out that Orochimaru suggested her using her Teen Girl Squad (right?) shirt. Glad I remembered, huh, 'cause I saved your little precious shirt. :3

In the 30 minutes we had to spare, I decided to give each of my teachers a farewell present, and hopefully something to remember me by. I was able to give one to all of my teachers except mrs. rogers, since I found that I didn't have enough, so I'll make one tonight and give it to her tommorow. Most of my teachers hugged me when I gave them their card. :3
Now I just feel all sweet and a little sad at the same time. I'll miss the teachers of junior high...

Ah, tommorow for our Tennis 'exam' we're going to have...A PARTY!!! Yeah, I better not eat anything tonight, and maybe have a light breakfast. But, I can't wait! And, we get out at 9:30 AM! :D

Yeah, our school rocks! ^_^

Ah, Mama's friend and co-worker is coming over, so made the house all nice and clean for her. So...yeah, just a few more parts here and then I will finish. Me thinketh I will make another Kakashi Gaiden fanfic, and I'm glad my first one was...erm...'successful.' Kinda. I'll think about it.

And now...

THE RETURN OF GANONDORF! XD
Thanks for showing me this last time, Kirby. :P
Hilarious...

Oh...*hugs*
So sweet and sad... ^_^

Goodbye for now!

Ughn...

Today was Exam Day #1, and I did excellent! ^_^
I took my time, answered carefully, and I'm pretty sure I passed.

We took the English exam first. I think I was the last one who finished, but that's okay.

In Computer Lit. we took the exam online TechConnect, and I made 83%, though, since she said that we could use our Master Cards, which we gained throughout the second semester, culd help us out with our score. Since I had 11 of them, I'm thinking my score may be raised to a 91. ^_^

Oi...then I got SERIOUSLY sick. ><
Okay, I'll go into details; it was a very painful stomach ache, that came and receded in waves. I was typing freely in Mavis Beacon, when my stomach seemed to twist (that's what it felt like), and I felt really hot. Even after I took off my sweater and the air conditioner was on, I still felt seriously ill. So, I asked mrs. betke if I could go to the nurse's office, since I was becoming dizzy with pain.
On the way down to the nurse's office, I was VERY close to vomiting right there. O_O
When I got to the nurse, I couldn't speak, only gasp; stupid, I know, but I felt I was going to puke right there, and I was trembling so badly, oh man...
The nurse sent me to the bathroom, and I saw destini (a girl in our English class), and she asked me if I was sick, and I whispered that I was. Strange enough, I could't vomit right there in the bathroom, even though I wanted to, so that the pain would go away. It actually did go away, magically. O_O
Even though I told the nurse it was a false alarm right there, I still had terrible stomach pains throughout 7th period, homeroom, and FISH/lunch. Finally, I forced myself to return to the nurse's office to ask for a TUMS. THAT worked!

Anyway, despite me being sick most of FISH, I was able to listen to mrs. holland speak to us, that no matter how we felt about ourselves, Jesus would alwyas loe us, no matter what. She gave a us a sheet of paper, that could remind us who were are, a card with a brilliant story that can help us, and a small purple ribbon to attach to our clothing, to show that we are the children of the true King. ^_^

I'm wearing mine right now.

I was actually able to eat three pieces of pizza (the temptation was just too much, I guess; and a small piece of cookie cake. Mmmm...so good. ^_^)

In American History, we took our exam--and guess what? I made a 99! XD
I only missed one question! When I told my parents, they were very pleased. Of course, we got out early, and there's always something I will love about Exam Days, and the bus. When you get on the bus when you take mid-terms or finals, there will be absolutely NO little annoying kids fillinf up most of the bus; plus, you get to sit wherever you want. For exam days, I enjoy sitting up at the front of the bus, near the driver. Excellent view, by the way. ^_^

We also got to see Shrek 3, and it was really funny, though it seemed shortm somehow. Heh heh...two Monty Python actors played their characters: John Cleese, and Eric Idle. :P

BTW, Kirby, I don't think I will able to print out the fanfic I've found, that I've been putting up. But I'll give you the link to it, so you can take your time reading it there, okay?

The link is: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2704848/1/



That's it for now. See you guys...

Chapter 4

For the nth time Kakashi wanted to stuff that greasy haired git’s head down the nearest cauldron; preferably the Longbottom boy’s cauldron. Upon first seeing the Potions Master, Kakashi was given the image of a combination between an Uchiha (bloody gits) and a slimy newt. Upon mentally imagining such an image, Kakashi’s shoulders shook in silent laughter. The overgrown bat that was Snape glared at him for a moment before telling the Potter boy to skin something.

“Orange, Longbottom. Orange.” Said Snape, ladling the potion up and letting it splash down to show everyone. While Kakashi himself was indifferent to Snape’s glares, the aura of loathing the man sent his way caused the unfortunate Longbottom child to assume the worst and wilt like a cut flower. It was Kakashi being glared at after all.

“Tell me, boy, does anything penetrate that thick skull of yours? Didn’t you hear me say, quite clearly, that only one rat spleen was needed? Didn’t I state plainly that a dash of leech juice would suffice? What do I have to do to make you understand, Longbottom?” Snape snapped, glaring at the entire class, but most of his glare lingered on the silver-haired ANBU. It seemed that this man, or was it a kid, was impervious to all of Snape’s attempts of loathing. It nearly drove the man mad.

The guard had been standing nearby, hands in his pockets as always. While Snape had heard from the other House heads that they had their own guards with their funny quirks, Snape felt that the Potter brat’s House guard was the worst of them all.

He was flippant and ignored Snape’s clear superiority, he caught the students’ attention when they were supposed to be studying and in turn, they disregarded Snape completely. Snape was not used to being part of the wallpaper. He found it most annoying, so much that he wanted to rip off that mask and wipe off that clear smirk off the man’s face with Avada Kedavra.

Impudent little brat. Why he’d bet that the annoying guard was younger than him, quite possibly a child. Such disrespect was inconceivable. How dare he treat the teacher with disrespect? He was only a guard!

The Longbottom boy was pink, trembling and on the verge of tears. Kakashi felt that it was quite unfair. So far, the Longbottom boy had tried so hard. Kakashi waited until Snape turned his back somewhere else, then, without thinking, he stepped up to the Longbottom boy and put one hand on his shoulder.

Instead of getting the usual result of such a gesture (a small smile) the Longbottom boy simply froze up and stared at Kakashi in horror. The ANBU thought it best to retreat; withdrawing the supposed comfort he was offering the Longbottom boy.

It would not be proper. He was ANBU. He was a guard, nothing more and nothing less.

“Did you see that? The guard actually put a hand on Neville’s shoulder.” Ron spoke rather loudly. Harry nudged him sharply. The said guard was behind them; he was staring at Ron.

Ron’s eyes widened, and he quickly snapped his mouth shut.

Kakashi tilted his head, seemingly amused at the boy’s attempt to take back what he said.

Lupin-san was late, like Yondaime-sensei before. Kakashi used to count how many minutes he was late, while Obito was busy making bets with Kakashi, who really didn’t care, how much more minutes their sensei would be late while Rin would only cross her arms and roll her eyes upward with a sigh.

Kakashi had always won in those bets. Usually Obito would be too busy challenging Kakashi with several bets while the silver haired ninja would already see their sensei rushing from a short distance away.

Those were happy times then. Sensei was always telling Kakashi to lighten up, to act like his age. Obito would always try to see what was under his mask and Rin would only laugh…

No. Don’t think of it anymore. They’re all dead.

And then the war came. The Academy’s standards were lowered, to allow more children to become child soldiers. Sensei’s Team 7 was sent out on missions, barely getting any rest. Many, many times, they were almost killed…

Obito was crushed under a rock, killed by a Stone Nin’s Jutsu…
He had lost one precious person in that gruesome war. Rin was never the same again. She would only rarely smile, much less laugh. Kakashi would spend most, if not all of his time at the Memorial Stone, buried deep in guilt. Sensei was selected as Hokage and he became distant, too busy with the village’s problems to even recognize his own students’ symptoms of depression.

Then Kyuubi attacked. Rin was sent immediately to heal everyone injured, hands covered in blood. Sensei was cramming for that specific Jutsu, throwing valuable books aside haphazardly. Kakashi was busy distracting Kyuubi, barely making it in time to dodge a blow from one of the nine tails the Kyuubi had…

Rin was smashed against a building, thrown there by one of Kyuubi’s tails…

Sensei was falling from his summon’s back, soul consumed by his own Jutsu…

He had lost two precious people in that savage attack. There was no more Rin to comfort him, to tell him that he was only human when he failed to complete a mission. There was no more Sensei to remind him, to tell him that he didn’t need to be the perfect shinobi when he was sent to the hospital on the cause of exhaustion. Kakashi would spend his mornings with Obito, his afternoons with Rin and his evenings with Sensei.

He was barely healing from Sensei and Rin’s death when they asked him to join ANBU, to throw his soul away and become a lifeless shinobi tool, built for the kill.

He accepted.

Why would he show emotion now? He was getting soft, comforting the Longbottom boy.

He was jerked out of his haunted musings by Lupin-san’s arrival. The man eyed him warily before turning to the class. He was shabby, as it was, and he seemed a little healthier.

“Good afternoon.” He began. “Bring out your wands and follow me. Today’s lesson will be a practical one.”

Kakashi blinked in surprise. In all the lessons he had ever been, following the Potter brat, he had only stayed in the classroom. A new location, possibly outside, meant that he would have to put on extra effort to protect the Potter boy.

Kakashi scowled, but made no noise. He simply nodded and followed them out.

Kakashi had decided long ago that he never did like Peeves. The troublesome poltergeist tried to play a prank on him the moment he entered Hogwarts. Kakashi was walking with Hagrid-san when the troublesome thing arrived.

“What’s this? A stranger in Hogwarts? Not an ickle firstie?” The poltergeist laughed, throwing a water balloon up and down. Kakashi narrowed his eyes. Hagrid-san had wandered off, mumbling something about paintings, leaving Kakashi with Peeves.

“A guard.” Kakashi murmured in reply. This spirit was quite interesting.

Peeves blew a loud wet raspberry. “So what? Ickle, childish guard, go back to your mother. Peevesy here doesn’t care. You kids are all the same.”

Kakashi narrowed his eyes at the insult. He never knew his mother. In some dim memory he knew he had, he had asked his father where was his mother.

Hatake Sakumo had simply ruffled Kakashi’s silver hair and told him gruffly to go to bed, eyes distracted, looking at something that Kakashi didn’t know.

“I don’t have a mother.” Kakashi murmured in a distracted way. “I never knew her.”

Peeves didn’t seem to understand Kakashi’s tone as he said it; he stared at Kakashi from between his legs. “Ickle, ickle guard. Coming to a wizard school, and yet not a wizard. Useless!” He cackled as he flung the balloon at Kakashi.

By instinct, Kakashi caught the balloon and was mildly surprised when it burst, spilling water everywhere.

Peeves cackled, wiggling his toes as he took out another water balloon from somewhere and threw it at Kakashi. The ANBU simply sidestepped as he narrowed his eyes at the poltergeist.

“Don’t you have anything else to do?” Kakashi asked, irritated.

Peeves cackled again. “No, why would I find something else to do? This is FUN!” At the word, he flung more water balloons at the ANBU, breaking out into song.

Kakashi narrowed his eyes again. He now had a good reason to Raikiri the poltergeist’s ass. Performing the seals, lighting burst from Kakashi’s gloved hand. Peeves stopped singing.

‘What’s this? Ickle guard can do this?” Peeves asked, eyes widening. “This shiny, white light?”

Shiny white light indeed. Kakashi thought morbidly, grinning. Let’s see how you do…

Kakashi thrust his hand through Peeve’s body, Raikiri easily cutting through the mist that made up Peeve’s corporeal form.

“Loony, loopy Lupin! Loony, loopy Lupin!” Peeves sang, doing a cartwheel.

“This is a useful little spell,” Lupin-san told the class. Kakashi opened his Sharingan, taking note of everything. “Please watch closely.”

Lupin-san raised his wand to shoulder height and pointed at Peeves. The result was a screeching, cursing Peeves retreating and a piece of bubblegum, which Peeves had used to try and block a keyhole to one of the caretaker’s closets, firmly lodged on the wall.

The Sharingan had copied the spell. Kakashi closed Obito’s eye and followed the class as they walked towards the staff room.

Snape the overgrown bat was there again, and Kakashi automatically scowled in dislike. The man spoke of Longbottom, and Lupin-san’s reply seemed to infuriate the greasy haired git. He left in a huff, glaring at Kakashi for a few moments before leaving.

The wardrobe wobbled, banging off the wall. Kakashi’s hand was automatically hovering near his kunai pouch. A few others leapt back in alarm.

“Nothing to worry.” Lupin-san spoke. “There’s a boggart in there.” He seemed calm, but even his calm features did nothing to remove Kakashi’s worry.

A boggart? What was a boggart? It didn’t sound like a Bijouu name, but still…

Two Gryffindors, one was the Longbottom boy, still seemed worried. Lupin-san told them of boggarts, how the things liked dark spaces. Kakashi scowled in intense dislike as the brown haired girl told them that the boggarts were shape shifters, and that they took form of what scared them most. Potter boy answered the next question, that they were in large numbers and therefore, the thing would be confused on what form to use.

Kakashi scowled even more at the solution to a boggart. Laughter. Kakashi rarely, if ever, laughed. When he did, it was only a small snicker. Never a fully-fledged laugh like what Sensei used to do.

Lupin-san was giving instructions, and he spoke of the spell-word that would force the boggart into a form that was funny.

Kakashi couldn’t think of anything remotely funny, even without the boggart.

The Longbottom boy admitted he was afraid of Snape. Kakashi could see why. Lupin-san spoke of more instructions and then told everyone else to back off. Kakashi did so, and was staring at the wardrobe.

Lupin-san counted to three, and then the wardrobe burst open, Snape stepped forward, scowling.

“R---r----riddikulus!” Longbottom squeaked.

Kakashi almost laughed. Almost. ANBU weren’t supposed to laugh. The overgrown bat was dressed in the most absurd clothing he had ever seen. The only emotion Kakashi let everyone else see was his shaking shoulders.

Students stepped forward, each trying the spell on the boggart’s ever changing form. It wasn’t until Lupin-san’s boggart whizzed around the room as a balloon that Kakashi realized everything wasn’t funny anymore.

The boggart landed right in front of the ANBU, and Kakashi, for all his control, almost broke down right in front of everyone.

The boggart turned into one of his fever-induced dreams. The dreams, which had been so farfetched, had come back to haunt him. He felt alive, seeing them all.

There in front of him were Sensei, Rin and Obito, all three alive and smiling at him, figments of the past long sealed. Obito was grinning, fingering the goggles over his eyes. Sensei was smiling, ruffling Obito’s head. Rin was laughing, shining eyes staring at him. Kakashi almost allowed himself a smile as he reached out to them.

And then…he died again. The boggart had turned into his worst nightmare. His heart crumbled into useless dust. His knees gave way as the boggart gave him his worst fear.

Obito suddenly fell down, blood spilling, as his body, even without the boulder, seemed to react to pressure on his right side. Several people screamed. Kakashi choked, his hand falling down, palm hitting the floor.

Rin was screaming as she fell down too, her body was burning, flesh crinkling into black as invisible flames burned her alive, her spilled blood boiling on the floor. More people were yelling. Kakashi only looked on, hands curling into fists.

And Sensei…Sensei simply dropped dead; his body hitting the wooden floor with such a solid sound that Kakashi felt it was that moment all over again.

At that moment, Kakashi broke. He simply screamed. He screamed until his throat was raw. He ignored Lupin-san, ignored everyone else. The man was nudging him, telling him it wasn’t real. Kakashi’s mind knew it wasn’t real, that it was only an illusion, but his heart argued in turn.

He missed them, all three of them. He missed Obito, for his unfailing humor and loyalty, Rin, for her patience and kindness, and Sensei, for his endless wisdom and his support.

He missed them all. His heart was still too young to let go of their memories. He felt dead again, a ruthless, mindless and emotionless shinobi tool. He felt like he was when he sold his soul to the ANBU.

Broken. Battered. Scarred. Suicidal. Lifeless.

A simple shinobi tool used to kill.

Crack.

The boggart’s appearance changed, and it was Snape again. Neville spoke the spell-word and the boggart vanished in a puff of misty smoke.

Silence reigned in the room. Most were too shocked by the amount of blood that spilled. Others eyed Kakashi with pity. The Potter boy and his friends were one of the latter. One even put a hand on his shaking shoulder.

Kakashi closed his eyes and stood up.

“I am sorry…” His words were heavy, slurred with newly reawakened grief. “For causing a scene.”

Here I am, so the day is saved...not!

I can't believe...that this was the last regular day of school. I cannot believe it. It seems like only yesterday I walked into mrs. eubank's classroom for class introductions! Now, I'm going to become a freshman! O_O

I'm still not so sure about high school. <_<

In Art today, we played Pictionary. I had a couple of accurate guesses, but none of my team members noticed my ideas. And THAT'S why I hate socializing! ><

Me~ Um, hello?

*everyone ignores me and goes on witht their business*

Me~ Hello?

*chattering*

Me~ HELLO?!

*chattering*

Me~ I have officially become the Invisible Girl at our school. O_O

We were doing our last round when the bell suddenly rang. Oh well.

In Tennis, I played against Kirby and won, 6-1. ^_^

In Science, we reviewed. I got good grades on all my reviews, so that's good. ^_^

In Pre-Algebra, we did clickers for reviewing. I only missed ONE problem! One! XD

In English, we studied over our reviews and turned in my textbooks. I'll miss you, English textbook and History textbook. I won't see another copy of those until Kogatana comes home and brings it with him. T__T

In Computer Lit. we were taking a quiz on TechConnect, reviewing for the exam tommorow, and I ALMOST finished, until I tried turning to the next question and got a board message. T_T
Lots of other guys were having the same sort of problem, so our teacher said that maybe she should rethink about having the quiz on TechConnect tommorow, although I'd rather take it online than on a sheet of paper.

In American History, we reviewed and studied.

Yeah, today was pretty much Review Day here.

Heh...I was thinking about the newest episode of Naruto Shippuden...the way parts of Naruto were slowly appearing out of him, *snickers* Sasuke first as half of his face, Sakura out of his belly/stomach, Kakashi out of his shoulder, and Gaara out of his hand. The preview of it was funny, as Naruto was a 'patient'...

Nurse~ The next patient is Uzumaki Naruto-san.

Naruto~ Doc, you gotta help me! My body's--

Nurse~ Doctor, look at this!

Doctor~ Oh dear, you've got a serious dry skin problem.

Naruto~ No, not that!

Doctor~ Wow, that's the biggest wart I've ever seen!

Naruto~ What about this?!

Doctor~ Judging by the shape and texture, it looks like a huge carbuncle!

Naruto~ What do I do, doc?

Doctor~ You can relax, the baby’s doing fine!

Naruto~ Eh?

Nurse~ Congratulations!

Naruto~ But, but I’m a guy!

Heh heh…I kept on looking at that for 5 minutes. XD

Oh yeah, I loved the way Neji sounded when Tenten asked him who Hinata’s younger sister was.

Audience~ THREE, TWO, ONE…!

*Ding!*

Neji~ Hyuuga…Hinaba-san.

Me~ He sounded real hesitant there, didn’t he, Tenten?

Tenten~ He sure did! ^_^

Neji~ Did not! ><

Me~ And you call yourself a Hyuuga, not even knowing your future leader’s younger sister, let alone your younger cousin! XD

Neji~ …I am not ashamed. ><

I just loved the intro to the Naruto ‘lost episode.’ I’m putting it up right now! XD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4lfOG_a1iI



Heh...I had no idea they'd use that for the intro at all! I thought they wouldn't do it at all... ^_^;

Well, I was just wandering around on Deviant-art, when I discovered that they put a Team Kakashi dress up game (Heh heh...uh, how that has that been here? ^_^;)

Here's the link, in case you're interested, and tell me what you think. Me, I think it's cute. :P

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/26450898/

I think that's it...

Well, here's chapter 3! ^_^

Bye!

Chapter 3

“Come in.” Dumbledore spoke, looking up from his book.

Kakashi stood at the door, hands in his standard ANBU jacket. He looked unsure, though at the same time bristling with excitement.

Dumbledore raised one silver eyebrow. “Yes, Kakashi?”

Kakashi cleared his throat and took out his wand. It was a fine thing, made of supple holly, 12 inches, and with a core of dragon heartstring.

“Ano…Dumbledore-sensei…I am curious as to what the use of this stick is…”

Dumbledore smiled, blue eyes twinkling. “Perhaps it is time for you to learn…”

A while later, Kakashi stared disapprovingly at the three brats in front of him. Steel wire was wrapped around the three, one end of the wire was tied to one of the kunai he had thrown at them, and the other end was wrapped around his finger. They all looked scared, tied together like that. All three were staring, transfixed in horror at the armored figure in front of them.

Kakashi blinked, tightening the wire. The porcelain mask on his face looked demonic as it reflected the lights from a nearby torch. He had heard them even before he had seen them. The little brats were noisy, as they had walked downstairs seemingly confident that there was no guard at the entrance to the Gryffindor Common Room.

Kakashi proved them wrong. He had let them walk further, just until they were clear of the portrait hole, then he sent a wired kunai towards them, along with several other shurikens.

The result? Three trapped gakis, one he was supposed to protect, and the other two his friends. It was a shame too, he had hoped for better opponents, not three little gakis, one, a brown haired girl, even then had begun to sputter out an excuse.

“Save your excuses.” He began, cutting the brown haired girl off. “You don’t want to get killed, don’t walk around at night. I protect this school.” Kakashi narrowed his eyes, letting silence hang about a bit further. “All those who act suspiciously will be killed promptly and painfully. What are you three doing out here?”

The red haired boy, who had been staring at Kakashi in fear, slowly mumbled something about ‘visiting’ and ‘Hagrid’. The other two nodded their heads.

Kakashi blinked. Visiting Hagrid-san? In the middle of the night? Kakashi almost laughed. Those excuses were like Obito’s, lame and yet making sense.

“You three,” Kakashi began. “are nuisances to what I do. Tell me…” Kakashi murmured dangerously. “Any of you Gryffindors have a pair of trousers with holes in them?”

“That’s Fred and George!” The red haired boy yelled. The girl next to him nudged him sharply, and the boy’s mouth closed as he stared fearfully at Kakashi, realization kicking in.

Kakashi almost smiled. He settled for a small smirk and tilted his head slightly. “Fred and George? Do tell.”

The red haired boy looked sheepish.

Kakashi tugged on the steel wire. “Well, since I’ve caught you out of bed, I must report you to a…”

Here, the ANBU paused; seeming to listen only to something only he could hear. Quite suddenly, he cursed and shoved the three, still tied up together, away as a rain of kunai and shuriken descended from a broken window.

“Close your eyes, and whatever you do, DON’T OPEN THEM! You’ll regret it!” Kakashi hollered.

Kakashi bit back the cry of pain that he was holding as two shurikens hit him. Quickly, faster than the blink of an eye, he had taken out his own shurikens and threw them at his enemy. Twirling a kunai around his finger, he raced forward and seemingly vanished…only to appear behind the enemy, kunai around his throat.

As he slashed, however, the man turned into water. Kakashi cursed. Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu! Turning, he saw that the man had dashed towards Harry and the others. Without thinking, Kakashi ran after him and threw a kunai. It buried itself deep in the man’s leg, and the man fell down. Once the man was down, Kakashi leapt on him and slit the man’s throat without further notice. Blood splattered on the walls, on Kakashi and some even reached the children. The demonic mask had now become even more frightening, as there was now blood on it. There was a small gurgling sound. The man Kakashi had killed was trying to breathe. Kakashi, without any mercy, took a step forward and put pressure on the dying man’s throat with his sandaled foot. A small amount of blood had made it on Kakashi’s silver hair, and the ANBU reached up with a clean left hand and tried to wipe the blood off and failing.
Kakashi was alert again, and he dodged another set of shurikens. A second man clambered through the window, while his companion ran forward, intending to kill Kakashi with one stroke.

O-ushi, Usagi, Saru…
Ox, Hare, Monkey…

Lightning crackled in Kakashi’s hand, the sound it produced alike to the chirping of a thousand birds. Kakashi twirled the kunai in his other hand and ran forward, ducking the other ninja’s stroke and he then proceeded to slash this one upward, kunai cutting through flesh and muscle, blood spraying everywhere. Sidestepping to avoid the falling body, Kakashi made a mad dash to the one on the window.

Kakashi’s fist, cackling with lightning, cut through the second man’s abdomen, the fist cutting thorough flesh, blood and bone. More blood splattered on the ANBU.

“RAIKIRI!”

The second man seemed to writhe, seemingly trying to get Kakashi’s arm out of his body. There was a slight sound of someone gasping, and the other ninja fell forward, dead.

Kakashi tugged his arm out of the other ninja’s body and flicked the remnants of organs off his gloves.

A drop of blood, aided by gravity, fell off the tip of the Wolf mask and landed on the floor.

Hermione, Ron and Harry vomited. There was only the sound of blood dropping to the floor in little crimson beads.

Kakashi turned back to his captives. He cut the steel wire and nudged them with the hand that had the less amount of blood on it. Reaching a hand up to his mask, Kakashi spoke. “Look here.”

He tilted the mask to the right and opened his left eye. The three stared, transfixed on the blood red eye.

Sharingan.

The three tomoes rotated clockwise, luring the students into a sense of false security. Kakashi kept his left eye open as he spoke, the three students eyes had a glazed sort of look in them.

“You will not remember any of this incident, until time has seen fit for you to remember.” Kakashi intoned. With a snap, he closed his eye and flipped the mask back into place. The hypnotism technique had partially succeeded. They would see flashes of that memory, but until they saw fit to remember, they wouldn’t.

“Go. Teachers are coming.” Kakashi warned urgently. The three quickly complied, scrambling up as they fled.

Kakashi stared at the hidden passageway, where he knew, he could hear, the teachers were coming from.

“He saw us in the dark, it was as if he has eyes everywhere.” Hermione spoke. The half-giant was soaking wet; he had dove his head in the water barrel a while ago, to sober himself. Hagrid was about to shoo the three off when Hermione began talking about Kakashi.

The half giant blinked. “He did?” He asked, shocked. “Why, I was tha’ one ter escort ‘im here. But even then…” He trailed off. “Tha’ bloke felt funny.”

Harry sipped at the cup of tea Hagrid had offered him. “It was like…he didn’t belong here. For one, he didn’t have a wand.”

Ron nodded in agreement. “He creeped me out, the way he’s so heartless...imagine using steel wire on students!” Ron massaged his hand where the wire had held him bound.

Hermione sighed. “And Dumbledore hired him.”

Hagrid stood up and herded the three outside. “Now, don’t go an’ doubt Dumbledore. Why don’t ya ask him why he hired tha’ bloke?”

“Explain yourself!” McGonagall’s voice echoed in the blood-splattered hall, filled with rage. Kakashi stiffened, but kept silent. He merely rubbed off a bit of blood from his porcelain mask. Several other teachers, who had come in with the Deputy Headmistress, had immediately gagged upon seeing the mess Kakashi made.

“I found intruders. Had to deal with them.” The ANBU Wolf spoke gruffly. “I am not just any shinobi, McGonagall-san. I am ANBU. Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai. Assassination Tactics Special Squad.”

The usually stern looking witch’s face was now filled with anger. “But to do that in Hogwarts…!”

Kakashi cut her off with a raised hand. “If my services are no longer needed, I will go to Dumbledore-sensei to break my contract. I will receive my payment and your Potter boy will not be protected. But, if I should go, unpaid… My village… will slaughter this school and raze it to the ground.” Kakashi turned to stare at the body of the one he stepped on. “These men came for the boy.”

McGonagall seemed torn, but she finally spoke after a moment’s silence.

“…The contract is still…in effect.” She said. “But next time, if any of them are left alive, take them as prisoners.”

Kakashi nodded. “Hai. And, McGonagall-san…” Kakashi called out as Gryffindor’s head of House turned to leave. “Harry-kun went to visit Hagrid-san. Don’t worry about him.”

McGonagall nodded before leaving the scene.

Snape scowled. Kakashi scowled back, though it was unseen. The Potions Master stared at Kakashi with loathing for a moment before departing.

Kakashi took out the strange stick Dumbledore-sensei had given him. This stick was called a wand, if he could recall. The only difference was that ninjas had hand seals to use chakra/magic while wizards had their wands. Dumbledore had given him extra info upon his request, and now Kakashi knew a few spells too, no matter how weak.

For one, he would clean up. The movement Dumbledore-sensei told him to do was to swish and flick. He tried that without the words.

Was he swishing and flicking right? It seemed so. The ANBU decided to try it with words now.

Clearing his throat, Kakashi did the movement.

“Scourgify.”

Soapsuds emerged from the tip of the wand. The suds flowed up to the blood, and, to Kakashi’s mild amazement, cleaned up the splatter leaving the floor clean as if no one ever died.

So this was what it was like. Dumbledore-sensei had pointed out their likenesses. That chakra and magic were the same and that Kakashi could technically be a wizard himself, if he wanted to.

After casting Scourgify a bit more, to clean the blood off himself and his surroundings, Kakashi hauled the bodies outside to the courtyard and proceeded to burn the bodies with Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu.

Once he was sure he wasn’t being watched, Kakashi formed a seal with his hands and concentrated.

“Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!”

Four identical Kakashis appeared. The original Kakashi nodded in satisfaction. Dumbledore-sensei was right after all. Even after casting a spell, he could still do ninjutsu.

“Your task for tonight is to patrol the House entrances.” Kakashi began. His clones nodded and made a seal, except for one.

“Henge!”

A puff of smoke, and now Kakashi’s other clones had become his fellow ANBU. They stood in the moonlit courtyard, animal masks shining.

Hawk, Cat, Sheep and Wolf.

The Kage Bunshins scattered. Kakashi bit his thumb, summoned his nin-dogs again and gave them instructions to patrol the Castle as well.

I'M AN AUNT!!!

Yup! It's official! I am an AUNT! ^_^
My cousin (my dad's neice), Larissa (age 29) delivered her firstborn: A healthy 7 lb girl! Her name is Sonya (at least, I think that's how you spell it. It's pronounced So-nee-ya). My dad said it sounded Russain to him, but I told him it sounded pretty (and cute, for a little girl). ^_^

My dad's a great-uncle now. XD

Me~ Daddy, no! Don't get old!

My brother's older sister, Larissa's mother, is only 45 or 47 (somewhere around there. O_O)

I think that's a bit young for a grandmother, don't you?

Anyway...I taped the Naruto Waterfull special today that was on Toonami. The good thing is that if you already missed it, you can catch it again around 10:00 EST (9:00, where I live). That's about 45 minutes from now, right? If I were you, I wouldn't miss it. It had that beginning that was SUPPOSED to go on that first filler episode (the one when Konohamaru and his friends were interviewing Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke in the original Japanese episode.) :P

I didn't think they'd actually do that for the special's intro, so when I saw it, my mouth dropped, and I got all excited. :P

Of course, I taped the entire thing. ^_^

The guy who voiced Kibuki did a good job, though his voice somehow reminds me of Neji (English dub). Hmmm...hold on...

*checks*

!!!

Man, I am SO on the ball today! I was right! The person who voices Neji voices Shibuki! Glad I caught the similarity in their voices! ^0^

Hee hee...and the person who plays Kakashi played Gamakichi as well. ^_^
I thought that was cute...

BTW, here's chapter two of the Kakashi fanfic I found. Enjoy, and have a great day!

With morning came the various parts of cloth that had once been pajamas. Kakashi stared at these for a long time, wondering why the little brats had even tried to get out of bed, with his nin-dogs on the loose. Three he had sent to guard the other House entrances. The remaining five, he had sent out to patrol the various floors. Kakashi himself had been up on the last floor, the one that was host to the Gryffindor Tower.

It was his job to protect the Potter brat anyway. Kakashi patrolled himself and had caught two little brats on the way out. Their heads were the only parts out of the strange portrait hole that served as the gateway, but Kakashi didn’t want anything to slip past. Immediately he had sent a shower of kunai and shuriken that barely missed the little brats and took off a few red hairs from their heads. The result had been two sets of feet clambering back upstairs and a hastily shut portrait hole.

Sometimes, it was good to be ANBU.

This morning, after getting a small snatch of sleep and swallowing a pill made by Tsunade for him before she left Konoha, he was ready to go. The pills gave a great feeling that he actually slept the whole night. Having no Memorial Stone to remember his loved ones by, Kakashi had decided he would go by the Lake for a few hours, think of home and then teleport back to Hogwarts’ Great Hall just in time for the early rising gakis to see him.

The weather at Hogwarts was colder than what he had anticipated. He had put on his standard issue ANBU jacket, but he was still cold. He stared at the Lake’s clean glassy surface for a few minutes, wondering what was happening back home. His newly found ‘Eternal Rival’ was back home too, and Kakashi briefly wondered what would the green spandex clad Chuunin do now without Kakashi to pester. Sure, Maito Gai was a bit annoying, but it made Kakashi feel good that he had someone to talk to. It made him feel human, not like a lifeless shinobi tool. Not like what he was doing now.

What would Obito do when he found out that Kakashi had left? Kakashi had stayed with the memorial stone for a few minutes. Though he had given a very short, abrupt apology before heading out to the waypoint where the ‘Portkey’ was, Kakashi felt it wasn’t enough.

Yondaime’s name was on the stone too, back home. It had been only a few months after Kakashi’s sensei died, and the wounds were still fresh. And Rin, his precious Rin…she died too, when Kyuubi attacked. Now, Kakashi was the only one left in their famed Team 7. He felt colder now, and he hugged himself in a pathetic attempt to stay warm.

It was around early morning when Kakashi had vaguely realized the cold he felt had come not from the weather, but from his heart.

When the Potter brat and his friends entered the Hall, they found themselves laughed and jeered at. Kakashi was given the impression, from his position next to the door, that the Potter boy was hated by that little blond brat surrounded by what seemed to be his mob of butt-suckers.

When the Potter boy took his seat, Kakashi moved forward until he had stopped right next to the Potter boy. The Potter boy seemed afraid, and the whole Hall was silent for a few minutes. Everyone had seen the guard move. Hands in his pockets, Kakashi tilted his head slightly to the right, where the blond ass was.

“Trouble?” He asked, word heavy with his accent. He was like that in the mornings. It usually took him a few kunais to barely miss him to wake up.

Harry Potter glanced at Malfoy for a moment, and then he swallowed and shook his head.

Kakashi thought this odd. If the boy was to be protected, why not set the ANBU on the little blond brat? It was quite odd, but Kakashi nodded and returned to his position by the door.

Breakfast began, and Kakashi’s stomach grumbled. He thought it best to eat, only when most of the school had gone to class. From what the stern-faced woman told him, McGonagall-san, Harry had his first class at the top of the North Tower. When the Potter boy had left, Kakashi walked up to the Gryffindor table and sat down on the bench before taking four pieces of toast smeared lightly with jam. The remaining few students watched him fearfully. Kakashi thought it was best not to let any of them see his face, so he just ate the way he did when he was on the run from the enemy.

The four pieces of toast vanished in the blink of an eye. Kakashi straightened his mask and wiped off a little blot of jam that had gotten on his white porcelain mask and then stalked off to the North Tower, leaving wide eyes behind.

Five minutes later, Kakashi was resting lightly next to the wall. The ones who had made it here early watched him, and Kakashi was nearly tempted to Raikiri their asses straight to give the impression he hated being stared at. But he kept standing still, arms to the sides and hands in his pockets. He would wait for the Potter brat to get here, though the spiral staircase he had simply run up might have discouraged the little gaki and his apparent fan club he called ‘friends’.

No matter. He was ANBU; he wasn’t supposed to know why.

Eight minutes later, the Potter boy had arrived. He first glanced at Kakashi and retreated, murmuring something to his friends. It suspiciously sounded like an insult, and Kakashi was given a good reason to Raikiri the brat’s ass. But he was a good ninja. He would endure this.

The immense amount of perfume that had wafted down on them, as the silvery ladder popped out was enough for Kakashi to call the mission quits. He hated perfume. His extremely sensitive nose, specific to the Inuzuka and Hatake clans, could smell his quarry three meters away and the perfume made him want to gag…or in the worst case scenario, vomit.

But Hatake Kakashi, genius ninja and Copy Nin of Konoha, was a good ninja. He had faced death before, and had lived. A huge stuffy room with an old hag with huge glasses (For that was what Kakashi had pictured when McGonagall-san mentioned the teacher) would not make the Copy Nin feel afraid now. He was ANBU, Konoha’s elite of the elite.

All the students by now were inside the room above. Kakashi gripped the first rung of the silvery ladder and was assaulted even more by the horrifying stench of sickly smelling perfume. It was bad enough to smell it from far away, but now the putrid perfume was making Kakashi feel nauseous. He let go of the ladder and retreated somewhere downwind of the sickly perfume.

On second thought, maybe he could wait here.

After Professor Trelawney’s speech, Harry had done as he was told and now, he gave his cup to Ron for a rather…detailed analysis of his assured future. The Weasley stared at it for a moment, and was speaking, but Harry was feeling rather sleepy and didn’t listen, until Trelawney stopped by and read his cup.

“Let me see that my dear.” The woman spoke, relieving Ron of Harry’s unhappy cup. The whole room went quiet. The woman was rotating Harry’s cup in her hands.

“The falcon, my dear you have a deadly enemy.” Trelawney began. “The candle, you will have an ally by your side. The Cigar, you will have a new friend. The club, you will have an attack. The skull, danger in your path.”

Quite suddenly, Trelawney dropped the cup with a shriek of pure terror.

Kakashi heard the shriek from below. Quickly, he made the seals for teleportation and disappeared with a puff of smoke.

Assaulted by the putrid smell of perfume, Kakashi was already in a battle stance, hand near his kunai holster, one hand on the shaking teacher and one sandaled foot crushing the remains of a teacup, tea leaves splattered everywhere.

“Problem?” Kakashi spoke, voice thick, slurred and heavy with accent. The perfume was making him gag, though he fought the impulse to do so.

“My dear boy…. my poor, dear boy…no…it is kinder not to say…no…don’t ask me….” The woman was murmuring. One boy, clad in Gryffindor red asked what was wrong. The rest switched from staring at their teacher to staring at Kakashi, eyes wide in shock.

“My dear boy…you have the Grim.”

Kakashi looked puzzled. Grim? Was that like the Kyuubi? Struggling for his voice, the ANBU Wolf spoke again.

“Bijouu?” He asked, in the only word he could think of.

“The what?” Harry asked.

The teacher looked at Kakashi and Harry with wide eyes. “The Grim, my dear! The Grim, the giant spectral dog hat haunts churchyards! My dears, it is an omen! The worst omen of DEATH!”

Except for Kakashi and the girl with mouse brown hair, everybody stared at Harry, horrified. The ANBU almost laughed bitterly. A grim? There were far worse things than the Grim. Death was in his future, not this boy’s. All he loved had died, his father from his own insanity, Obito from his foolish thought of sacrifice, Yondaime from his own Jutsu and Rin from the Stone’s hands.

“Don’t be ridiculous.” The girl with brown hair and unusually large front teeth snapped.

“I think I will leave the lesson here today. You may all go…” The woman said, in her mistiest voice.

After Divination, Kakashi walked behind the Gryffindors as they made their way to Transfiguration. Most of them still glanced at Kakashi warily. The rest seemed shocked that Harry had gotten a Grim.

Entering the classroom, Kakashi went to stay in the corner and listened with half an ear to what McGonagall-san was saying. Most of the time, he was staring at Potter, who was squirming in his chair as if someone had trained a spotlight on him. Kakashi eyed McGonagall with amazement as she turned into a cat and back. Even Yondaime sensei, for all his created Jutsus, could not achieve that. He made a mental note to look at such a transformation with his Sharingan later; perhaps he can copy that technique later.

“Really, what has gotten into you all today?” said the Professor. “Not that it matters, but that’s the first time my transformation’s not got an applause from a class.”

You would’ve gotten some from me. Kakashi thought. Transformation was odd, but if he could take a peek with the Sharingan…

Everybody stared at Harry for a moment, even Kakashi.

The mouse brown haired girl said something about Divination. McGonagall-san replied with a frown.

“Tell me, which of you will be dying this year?”

Everyone stared at Harry again.

During Lunch, Kakashi was going to his usual post by the door when he stopped suddenly. He had sensed this a while ago, and had even smelt it as he walked nearer. It was quite an odd thing. It was a dark pink, round and a slight smell of dung hung about it. There was also the slight aura of cloaking magic. He stared at it for a few more moments, and then carefully, so as to not let it explode kicked it away with one sandaled boot. It collided with the table of the brats with the snake crest.

The bomb exploded, spreading the scent of dung everywhere. The Slytherins quickly vacated their table, some screeching in indignation. The blond brat was screaming about telling his daddy and that Kakashi would be fired post haste. His bodyguards had been hit directly, so the stench was all around him.

Around the Gryffindor table, there were sniggers and whispering. All around the hall people laughed as the Slytherins scattered. Even the Potter boy laughed, though two boys, twins by the look of them, stared at Kakashi in amazement.

After Lunch, Kakashi and the Gryffindors went up to their Care of Magical Creatures, which was headed by the giant that Kakashi had met when he first came here. It had rained yesterday, but now the sky was clear. The grass was slightly damp, and Kakashi noted to deliver his sandals over to the house elves for cleaning later.

Potter boy’s group seemed to be distracted today. Kakashi stared at him for a few moments.

Hands in his pockets, Konoha’s finest walked to Care of Magical Creatures.

Hagrid-san had gotten unique creatures today, Kakashi decided. These creatures were half eagle, half horse. They were in several colors, and Kakashi immediately took a liking to a stormy gray one.

“Gee up, there!” Hagrid-san roared, yanking the chains that were connected with the thick leather collars around the Hippogriff’s throats.

From what Hagrid-san was saying, the Hippogriffs were proud, that he should bow first and not blink. That meant showing his face at some point. That would not bode well, but Kakashi was rather fond of animals. Maybe when he was not busy following the Potter boy around, he can inspect these creatures more closely.

He watched the Potter boy ride the Hippogriff, watched him fly about the paddock. That was another thing why he wanted to inspect the creatures.

When the herd was divided, Kakashi found himself with an inky black one. Kakashi admired its coat for a moment underneath the mask, then without further thought, slid his mask a bit to the left and bowed to the Hippogriff, revealing part of his face.

Kakashi felt rather defenseless, but he bowed and stared at the Hippogriff’s amber eyes, unblinking.

The inky black paused, but bowed back, bending scaly forelegs in an unmistakable bow.

Kakashi slid the mask back to place. He then walked forward and stroked the black’s feathers.

A scream sounded in the paddock, and Kakashi turned in time to see the blond Slytherin brat fall down, blood blossoming from his arm. The gray Hippogriff reared, claws flailing as Kakashi hurriedly moved forward to access the boy’s condition.

“Hagrid-san! Continue the class, please!” Kakashi spoke. “I will deliver this boy to the Infirmary.” He lifted Malfoy, who was screaming dramatically about his arm, and, heedless of the blood soaking into his jacket, carried the screaming boy up to the Castle.

The Sharingan had copied the technique, he was sure about that. But he was slightly unsure how to perform it. The medi-witch had used her wooden stick to heal the boy up in a matter of seconds.

With him, he had one such stick, but it was a curious little stick. Magic flowed about it, crowding about the center. He didn’t see how the medical jutsu worked.

His name was Malfoy; he had heard the boy screaming his father’s name as he carried him to the Infirmary. The boy was now eying the blood on Kakashi’s jacket. The ANBU stared at the dark patch of blood on his jacket and hands for a moment, then politely asked.

“Poppy-san, can I use the sink?”

Heh heh...I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay! 8D

It's Friday! FINALLY!!! And a busy one, for that matter.
And tommorow, they're going to show the Waterfall special on Toonami! TWICE! ^0^
I'm going to tape it for sure!

In Art, we did shriny-dinks, although I didn't get to shrink mine because, 1) We were running out of time, and 2) Everyone hogged all the spaces forme to put my card in. Of course, I did Kakashi (what else could I do, seriously?)
It seriously STANK in there, though! I still have the smell in my nose...like a yucky smoke smell. ><

Oh well. At least I don't have to worry about my thing getting curled up, like some of the others. ^_^

In Tennis, we walked over to the football field to watch the primary kids have Field Day. Oh, and we also saw the new courts. Man, they look awesome and smooth! But, personally, I still like the high school courts the best. ^_^

Watching Field Day, I can't help but try to remember my first Field Day. Ah, good times. Good times...

And, I'm pretty sure I saw my next-door neighbor and her grandmother there, if I'm not mistaken. O_o
Oh well, neither of them noticed me. Alas, alas, that seems to be my fate...j/k

In Science, we worked more on our reviews. Time's running out, peoples! O_O
I did well on my first sheets, which is very good. Now, the next two...

In Pre-Algebra, we discussed our reviews.

In English, we reviewed.

In Computer Lit. we reviewed.

In Americans History, we reviewed, and I ALMOST finished! I just have nine short questions left! XD

Oh, BTW, the fanart special of Naruto the Abridged Series is here! ^_^

I just KNOW that Sasuke being a lumberjack is part of something I saw off of Monty Python! O_O

Here, only for those who have never seen Monty Python before, plainly curious, or want to see. ^_^

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7fXBhmL9e0



You gotta love Monty Python. ^_^


Ah, Kirby, I tried with finding a good Kiba picture (not neccessarily sexy, but...) well, I hope you like it anyway. I tried hard finding one that I thought you might like, so I'll put this one...^_^;



Man, I seriously do love those Kakashi fanfics or not. I'd like to put a part up for once, and I think I will. If I can fnd a good one. Hold on a moment...

*searches*

Searching...

Searching...

Searching...

*Bangs robot*

Me~ Don't you ever work?!

Ow...

Ow...

Ow...

Well, THAT was random. ><

But, I found one I liked. Actually, I found it quite earlier in the week. I'm not at all a Harry Potter fan; I'm a Christian and some of the things I see in there just don't fit my standards...you should know what I'm talking about. Still, after reading this fanfic, I couldn't help but like it. So...just read away and please tell me what you think.

Abyssus by ANBUHound

It was one of those rather smudgy mornings. It was neither morning nor night. The sky was a slow-shifting picture of gray. Most of the people in Konoha were still asleep at this time, except for those selected for night watch and other mundane tasks. But the Sandaime Hokage was no ordinary ninja. He was the Hokage.

Now the Hokage’s job was to protect the village and make sure the village prospers. Usually, missions would start arriving when the sun’s out, but it was also quite unusual for the mission to arrive by owl, with a disgruntled ANBU tailing it. The night-flying bird looked a bit harassed, and though it had an aura of bad temper, it gave the Hokage a small letter, made of parchment and sealed with wax before hooting contentedly and departing from an open window. The ANBU, after making sure everything was all right, returned to his post.

Sarutobi stared at the odd letter for a few moments before turning it over to read the address at the back scrawled in emerald ink.

Sarutobi-san, Sandaime Hokage, The Professor

Hokage’s Tower, Konohagakure no Sato

18 August 1993

Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

It was quite an odd letter, but Sandaime was used to letters like this from his eccentric friend from England. They had known each other for a long time now, and it was quite good to hear from Dumbledore, even in these uneasy times of peace in Konoha.

Sarutobi turned the letter over again and carefully opened the sealed envelope. Inside were three pieces of parchment, written in Dumbledore’s hand, and as always, with emerald ink.

My dear friend,

It has been a long time since I had last wrote to you, however, something has recently come to my attention. Last year, the security of the Castle had been broken; no matter how much we tried. I am writing to you now, Sarutobi, to help me with my apparent security concerns. It seems that, somewhere in my school, there is a traitor who serves the Dark Lord. We had a near miss last year, and I would appreciate it that, if possible, I would like to hire a team of your finest to aid in the protection of my students and the discovery of said traitor. I am willing to pay whatever price you may demand, and I trust in your wise judgment of such matters. A trip to England will prove difficult for you, so I have taken the liberty of making the arrangements myself. The details of the trip are enclosed in this envelope.

I would appreciate it if you would cooperate, not as business partners, but as old friends.

Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore

Headmaster, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Sarutobi reread the letter, and then nodded gravely to himself. Dumbledore was his friend, after all, and it would be impolite to refuse aid.

However, since the recent war, they only had a few ANBU squads left. Most of those ANBU worked alone, however. It would be difficult to send them all, particularly because Konoha was never truly at peace.

He could only spare one or two ANBU, but two was the most he could give. Still, Dumbledore’s letter sounded grave. If he could only send one, then he would send the best shinobi Konoha had to offer.

Sarutobi met the ANBU captain right at the roof of the Hokage Tower. It was still that time of morning, but he knew that this particular ANBU would be up and about, no matter what time it was; to give his respects to his dead loved ones.

“This is a rather…delicate mission.” Sarutobi began, but he was cut off by a nod from the ANBU.

“Rank?” The ANBU asked, voice muffled by the mask he wore.

“At least S-class, and even then, it’s teetering over to Unranked. You may not take it, if you wish, but I would appreciate it if you did accept it.” Sarutobi replied. “This mission requires you to travel far, learn a new language, and even then, your present skills may not help you.” Sarutobi warned.

“Whatever you ask, I will serve.” The ANBU replied dutifully. “I will be leaving when?”

“Today, at the latest. Pack some clothes, and bring only things that you need. You will need what is listed here in the supplies list, and the journey will be dangerous.” Sarutobi spoke. He gave a list of supplies, a word list and a mission briefing, both in parchment, to the ANBU. The ANBU Wolf stared at the supplies list, then at the word list, running a finger over the unfamiliar English words. After a few minutes, he nodded. “I will do as you ask.”

Sarutobi nodded. “Good luck then.”

“Luck? Luck is for fools. What I need…is skill.” The ANBU quoted, before giving the standard salute and bringing the list along as he left.

“That was your father’s line…I do hope you succeed…Kakashi.” Sarutobi spoke. He then brought out his pipe and lit it. He puffed contentedly as he stared thoughtfully up at the face of Yondaime carved on the mountain.

Hatake Kakashi was a good, proper ninja. Nearly perfect, but still, he was a good ninja. Now he had a mission, and he was going to get serious. It appeared, after much reading and rereading of the mission briefing that was in the letter, that he would have to guard one Harry Potter. Also, it was listed in his orders that he had to protect the whole school and weasel out the traitor to boot. ANBUs were not trained to baby-sit one 12 year old boy. Harry Potter wasn’t a very strong name. When Kakashi thought of the name, he thought of a scrawny little nerd with thick glasses. The question was, why was this kid, this nerd, so important?

It wasn’t in Kakashi’s place to know. It was his place to figure out how to get this Dark Lord’s ass kicked (and get himself killed in the process, in the worst-case scenario.)

It was all in the life of an ANBU operative. Kakashi mused. He mindlessly reached out to pick out a black ANBU hooded jacket from his closet and put it into a black military issued bag.

This mission may be his last, but Kakashi didn’t mind. He was ANBU.

It wasn’t in his place to know why.

The kunai looked normal, felt normal and was as sharp as it could be. It looked nothing like what the mission briefing stated. It was supposed to be a ‘Portkey’. It would take him to a halfway point, somewhere in Egypt, the mission briefing said, then to London. From there, he had to go to Hogsmeade via ‘floo Powder’ through a ‘fireplace’. Kakashi briefly wondered if the common words were supposed to be a code of sorts, but then, ANBU aren’t supposed to know. He checked the position of the sun again, and reread the letter.

…Travel to Scotland via Portkey. First Portkey (Kunai) activates at 4:30 AM, Konoha time. Second Portkey (Clay Pot) activates at 4:32 AM, Konoha time. Route to Hogsmeade via Leaky Cauldron, contact is Tom the innkeeper; password is nitwit, oddment, blubber and tweak, transport via ‘floo powder’, ETA to Hogsmeade 5:30 AM. Contact in Hogsmeade one ‘Rubeus Hagrid’…

Once more, Kakashi wondered if the name Hagrid was another codename. Then he dug out his watch and stared at the time. 4:28. He took hold of the kunai and with the other hand, put his ANBU Wolf mask on and picked up his bag.

Two minutes later, he felt a tug at his navel and he was jerked into a sort of highway filled with blurs of color, snatches of sound and then…nothing.

Kakashi landed rather unceremoniously in a small, gritty hot room. The ANBU scrambled up and quickly took a hold of the clay pot that was supposed to be a ‘Portkey’, just in case he missed the scheduled transport. His stomach was spinning, and he was slightly glad that he had only four pieces of toast in him; otherwise, if he had eaten something much heavier, he would’ve puked by now. According to the mission briefing, he had two minutes to rest and put on the jacket that was supposed to keep him from attracting too much attention.

Two minutes later, he felt another tug, and nausea attacked him with the force of a bulldozer as he spun through the highway of swirling colors.

Kakashi, having expected another bruising drop, had realigned himself as he fell down. He landed on his feet rather hard, but he didn’t fall. All around him, people were brushing past, arms filled with groceries and things. A car angrily honked its horn at a slow woman with a cart. This horseless carriage surprised the Copy Nin, but he didn’t show it. People were about their business, their eyes had registered him in his coat, but they were either too busy, or were ignoring him deliberately.

Kakashi picked his bag up once more and looked up at the building. It was an old thing, with dusty windows and peeling paint. Kakashi approved of this sort of camouflage, as the sheer image of a ramshackle old bar would be perfect to hide a sort of gateway into the ‘magical’ world.

The ninja put a hand on the doorknob, turned and pushed the door inwards.

The musty bar air and the scent of liquor invaded his nostrils immediately, and Kakashi resisted the urge to sneeze, as his extremely sensitive nose wasn’t taking the smell of alcohol too well. There were a lot of people in the bar right now, but Kakashi’s keen eyes singled out his contact in the Leaky Cauldron. He walked up to the bar and leant on the wooden countertop. He leaned forward until his ANBU mask was near the man’s nose.

“Tom the innkeeper?” Kakashi asked in a low voice, heavy with his Japanese accent. The man looked old, and he had no teeth. Tom turned to face Kakashi as he polished a mug. “Yes?’

“The password is Nitwit, Oddment, Blubber, Tweak.” Kakashi replied in his best English. “I believe Dumbledore-san told you of my arrival?”

Tom nodded gravely. “Aye. He told me that you are inexperienced with the manner of traveling that is Floo Powder. I’ll teach you the basics.” The landlord moved towards the fireplace. Kakashi followed, though he seemed a bit wary of the fireplace. Tom started a fire and took out a handful of what seemed like grave dirt. “Now, you sprinkle a bit of the floo powder into the fire, like so…” The man sprinkled the fire with a bit of the dirt, and Kakashi was surprised to see it roar into a ferocious emerald bonfire. “Now, you get go in and scream out the name of your destination.” The landlord finished. Tom returned to his place behind the counter and Kakashi looked at him in disbelief.

“You expect me to step into that?” Kakashi spoke in mild shock. The landlord nodded. With an expression of disbelief, Kakashi followed, and gingerly stepped into the fire. It was tingly, had a slightly pleasant feeling to it and a gentle heat.

“Hogsmeade.” Kakashi spoke, trying his best to pronounce the word.

There was a slight feeling of weightlessness, and Kakashi was hurtled down a swirling tunnel of emerald flames. He kept his arms tucked to his sides by instinct, and he wanted the whirling to stop.

ANBU Wolf landed with a loud thump onto a thick woolen carpet. He was in a building, somewhere. It was nighttime outside. The ANBU felt his body for bruises, and when there were none, he took up his bag again and got up.

“Ah. So yer here already? Good.” A huge man, for that was what it looked like, helped Kakashi up. “Aren’t used ter the floo yet eh?”

It was imprecise English, at best, but Kakashi managed to make it out and nodded. “Yes.”

Hagrid smiled. “Good, good. I’ll show yer around, then I’ll bring yer over ter Hogwarts so you could see Dumbledore.”

Kakashi followed him then, as the huge man pointed out shops and other things. But, most of the time, Kakashi wanted the man to get it over with. It was night time right now, and Kakashi wanted to finish his job as soon as possible, and that meant getting to the Castle, giant-man or not.

But finally, after the tour, Hagrid led him up to the Castle. The whole place was simply intriguing, and Kakashi was glad for both the ANBU mask and his own black mask, as he simply gaped at everything in amazement. He would have fun wandering these halls that was for sure. Everything was simply amazing, the way the paintings moved, and the way the suits of armor seemed to have a life of their own. Everything here was simply breathtaking, and Kakashi felt regret that he wouldn’t be able to explore most of the time. Hagrid led him to Dumbledore’s office and promptly left after speaking the password. Kakashi stared at the moving staircase with curiosity as he rose up a level. The door was made of wood, and it had a brass eagle knocker on it. Kakashi made sure his mouth was closed, his ANBU jacket and mask firmly on, his black bag by his side and then he raised a hand and knocked.

The old man that sat on the chair behind the table with clawed feet reminde him of Sandaime. They were both old after all, and both seemed to emit an aura of ease. However, Kakashi kept his back straight as he examined the room, half an ear listening to what the old man was saying. The large circular room he was in was filled with strange silver contraptions and other things. All of these caught Kakashi’s attention, and he spent a few bit of chakra looked at everything with the Sharingan, to see if there was any chakra flowing about.

“…good journey?” The old man was asking, peering at Kakashi with his half-moon spectacles. Kakashi automatically nodded, tilting his head forward a bit before returning to his normal position. It took a while for Kakashi to notice that the old man, with the really long silver beard, was talking in Japanese.

“Good morning. I am Dumbledore-sensei, headmaster of this school and the only one who seems to know your language in this school of mine.” The old man smiled, eyes dancing. “You are?”

Kakashi thought it for a bit, then gave the traditional ANBU salute and spoke in a cool voice. “Hatake Kakashi, ANBU captain for the Foxtrot four-man team.”

Dumbledore nodded. “And where are your fellow ninjas?”

“Dead or away on a mission, take your pick.” Kakashi replied rather rudely, but it was true. “I was sent here solo, so you can’t change the contract unless you break it.”

Dumbledore seemed to be sad for a moment, and then he smiled again. “It is a minor inconvenience, but are you sure you can patrol the whole school by yourself, Hatake-san?”

Kakashi looked up for a moment, eyes in deep thought, then he gave a casual shrug. “I have my ways. Don’t worry about it.”

“My dear friend Sandaime Hokage told me whom he was sending,” he said, pointing one finger at a letter on his desk. “He gave me permission to tell you of your mission, and for me to see your face, as we don't trust those who cover their faces nowadays.”

Kakashi frowned, but he obeyed. He removed the small thin nearly invisible thread that held his mask to his face and removed the Wolf. Mismatched eyes stared at the old man in front of him, a vertical scar crossed over his left eye. The Sharingan seemed to make the old man uneasy, from the look of it. Kakashi put the wolf mask on the arm of a squishy chair and settled into it. “The mission?”

Dumbledore nodded, eyes dancing. He spoke, seemingly decided to just get straight to the point. “As you know, Hogwarts is a school for magic. Magic and chakra are nearly the same, only your usage is different from ours…”

“I’m here for the mission, not a lecture. Get on with it. I don’t like to waste my time.” Kakashi interrupted. He had deducted that much, as he had his Sharingan open as he had examined every nook and cranny he could see on the way here. Dumbledore didn’t seem insulted; an eyebrow came up, the corners of his mouth lifted in an amused smile. “I was getting to that,” the old wizard said. He leaned forward, blue eyes solemn over his spectacles. “Thirteen years ago,” he began, “a dark wizard by the name of Voldemort...”

As Dumbledore went on with the tale, Kakashi listened carefully, analyzing his charge’s personality as the old man told his tale.

“Harry Potter is currently a student,” the old wizard informed him, “Over the last two years, he has been the target of numerous attacks carried out by Voldemort. As we are concerned with his safety, and that of the school’s, we’ve decided to hire you.”

Kakashi nodded. “So all I have to do is to protect this Potter?” He asked, disbelief evident. One whole year, to be wasted on guarding a little brat….

“Of course, but that and…” Dumbledore paused, eyes dancing, “For undercover purposes, I advise you to take on the position of Assistant Defense against the Dark Arts teacher.”

Kakashi frowned at this. He was no Jounin sensei. But if it were for the mission…he’d leap off a cliff, if that were what it took.

“Fine.”

Dumbledore smiled and rose from his chair. “Then it’s decided. Tomorrow, you may wander about the school. My Deputy Headmistress will lead you to your room, and tomorrow, she will also explain about the Potter boy, as he is of her House, and about the Castle itself.”

The whole hall was jam packed with little kids in black cloaks and little pointy hats. Kakashi, for show, had conjured three Bunshins and had them Henge into his ANBU team members. The Bunshins were positioned carefully, so that the whole room could be monitored. Two were up, behind the Head table, and Kakashi and his other Bunshin were positioned at the door to the hall. The little brats’ chatter was annoying, but Kakashi forced himself to endure. He had managed to silence a few by simply staring at them, sending the poor first-years into tears.

Most of the students were staring at Kakashi and his Bunshins, trying to see what lay beyond the masks and failing. One table, full of little snobby brats by the look of the majority of them, was glaring at another table across the room. From the look of this other table, Kakashi deducted that the two groups, or Houses, as the stern-faced woman informed him once, were either at war or simply hated each other.

Kakashi looked over the Hall again, then at the Head Table. One particular teacher drew his attention; by the way he looked young, but old in his years. It reminded Kakashi of his own childhood self, as he himself was only 18, and yet he was doing what children or teenagers should’ve been doing at this age.

The singing hat earlier had intrigued Kakashi even more. He even had a look at it with the Sharingan; he could see the chakra…or was it magic, flow and ripple about the old worn hat. It sang of teamwork, of unity between Houses. It seemed that the hat’s only purpose, Kakashi figured, was to sort the little newbies into their proper Houses.

A group of red clad Gryffindors entered the hall and sat down at the table. They too stared at Kakashi briefly, before murmuring and talking to each other. At that moment, the headmaster stood up and cleared his throat.

“Welcome!” Dumbledore said, arms spread wide. “Welcome to another year at Hogwarts! I have a few things to say to you all, and as two of them are very serious, I think it’s best to get it out of the way before you become befuddled by our excellent feast…”

Kakashi and his Bunshins stood at attention at this. He and his Bunshins were clad in the uniform of ANBU, those who were undercover anyway. A black hooded jacket covered everything above their waists, and only Kakashi’s silver hair and their ANBU masks stood out from the endless black that was their uniform.

Dumbledore cleared his throat and continued. “As you will all be aware after their search of the Hogwarts Express, our school is presently playing host to some of the dementors of Azkaban and a few Aurors, who are here on Ministry of Magic business. Fortunately, they will only be here on occasional visits, such as the days when you will be in Hogsmeade. On those days, they will be stationed at every entrance to the grounds, and while they are with us, I must make it plain that nobody is to leave school without permission.”

He paused for a moment.

“Professor Kakashi Hatake has agreed to be a guest professor. He will be joining in with Professor Lupin, who is your new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher. He will take over when Professor Lupin is not feeling well.”

Kakashi looked around the hall again, and then the old man continued.

“And of course, I come to those who have caught your attention during dinner.” Dumbledore spoke. Kakashi stiffened and his Bunshins snapped to attention. “As the dementors and the aurors will only be visiting occasionally, I have taken it on myself to hire these guards.” He gestured to Kakashi and his Bunshins. “They have all the skills that top Aurors have, and they will be patrolling the entire school to ensure your safety. Their leader has notified me,” At this Dumbledore paused again. “That his four-man team would rather kill first and ask questions later.”

The silence that followed seemed to be a far cry from the bustling, noisy crowd earlier. Only a few people were talking now, and Kakashi quickly found his charge. As he had imagined, the boy had glasses, though the boy’s glasses weren’t that thick.

Later, after the feast and the mass exodus from the hall, Kakashi and his Bunshins stood with the teachers who had stayed behind. One looked like he was having an eternally bad day, the other was the peculiar man he had seen a while ago. Dumbledore was there, and Professor McGonagall.

“That was a good instruction for the little gakis.” Kakashi spoke in his best English. His words had a slight accent, but it was an improvement. The black clad man looked at Kakashi and sneered. Kakashi didn’t even need the Sharingan to know that this man hated him from the start.

“Foreigner.” The man murmured acidly. Kakashi raised an eyebrow at this. He raised both hands to form the Tiger Seal, and then said. “Kai!”

The Bunshins vanished in a puff of smoke. Some of the teachers looked surprised at this. “Where are your other members? I thought you had three others with you.”

“Dead, or on a mission.” Kakashi spoke rather calmly. The peculiar teacher made up some excuse to go somewhere else, and soon Kakashi was left with the Deputy headmistress.

“Your food will be in your room.” McGonagall spoke. “Will you be patrolling tonight?”

“I will.” Kakashi replied. McGonagall nodded and left. When he was alone, he took out a scroll from his belt pouch and unrolled it. He bit his thumb and ran the bleeding finger through all the names listed in the scroll. He then quickly formed several seals, calling their names in turn. “Ousu-buta, Inu, Tori, Saru, O-hitsuji.” Boar, Dog, Bird, Monkey, Sheep…

Kakashi rolled the scroll again and slammed it on the floor of the Great Hall. Small chains emerged from the scroll and into the ground.

“Kuchiyose no Jutsu!” Kakashi said. There was a massive cloud of smoke, then silence. When the mist cleared dogs surrounded the cloaked man. The dogs had collars that had metal plates with a carved in leaf symbol. Small jackets adorned the dogs, the jackets had symbols on them and the symbols formed a face. Kakashi at that time had taken off his ANBU jacket. He stood now in the hall, clothed in the ANBU uniform, with the bone white armor and in a black skintight sleeveless shirt. The long gloves of the ANBU also had its own bone white plates, and the black ANBU tattoo rippled as Kakashi stretched and gave a slight yawn. “Yosh. Patrol the entire school tonight, then report back to me in the morning.” Kakashi instructed. “Go for stealth. Should an enemy appear, run away and inform me. Any student out of bed, rip off a part of their clothes. ” The nin-dogs nodded. Each dog went on a different path, each to his own patrol area.

End of Chapter 1.

Pretty long huh? But, I love long posts... That's all for today! Bye!

5 more days! :D

Yup! 5 more days of school! Although, since we only stay until 9:30 AM on Thurs. shouldn't it really be 4 days? XD

Oh well.

In Art, we went to the computer lab to experiment with the fonts and pictures so we could work on our assignments. Unfortunetly, the Internet was down most of the period. Well, at least I found a beautiful picture of the Riverwalk in San Antonio (when I finish with this post, I'll look for it again and save it)

In tennis, I played against Kirby again.

In Science, we worked more on our reviews, and I am ALMOST done! :D

In Pre-Algebra, we broke our bridges; ours weighed 15.5 lbs and was third in our class.

In English, we worked on the second part of our reviews.

In Computer Lit. I finished my project and just typed freely on Mavis Beacon the remaining period.

In American History, we worked on our reviews. My teacher said that we can get our maps done by Mon. since she wants us to finish our review first. ^_^
Thank you!

I have to try playing as Mizuki in Clash of Ninja 2 *puts on to-do list*

Anyway, I found these really stupid (in a good way) videos. Watch!

The pain...the agony...the torture...

Wow...I haven't done anything here in, like, three days. O_O

Pretty boring day today. ><
And almost emberressing...

In Art, we were given the assignment of what type of business we would have if we did open up a business over the summer. I got my inspirations from the vacations of San Antonio; I remember last year, especially, when we were walking along-side the river-way; the sun was shining, the flowers and plants glowed in its light, the river seemed to have a beautiful natural rhythm of its own, and the restauraunts next to it were alive! I remembered that, and began drawing...

Good thing it's only a rough draft. ^_^;

In Tennis, I played against Kirby.

In Science, we worked on our review. I got farther, too. ^_^

In Pre-Algebra (Oi...><)
I didn't do much, I had to admit. But even though I am the Carpenter, and I simply CANNOT keep a blasted toothpick still when I'm trying to put glue on it! So, I just sat there, doing whatever I could, even though it was really quite a small help (ie-holding a toothpick while the kid next to me's trying to cut it).
Today was the last day, so...
Erica started saying swear words ('h' word, 'd' word, 'f' word...) Me, I don't like using swea words. You'll never see me typing them in these posts, nor do I say them aloud. So, when she kept on repeating swear words at random, I couldn't help but chuckle a little. THAT got her attention. She said that I didn't do any of the work, and that she and scorch did all the work (no offense to scorch; I have nothing against him)
But what she said was a lie...
I DID help build parts of this bridge, and so did Steven (the other kid in our group).
I told her that we all worked as equally as we could and did our own part in our own way; but she wasn't satisfied with that. I got a little irritated, but I tried my best to keep my cool...

So, I told her off, as politely as I could. O_O
Yeah, I'm not so good with words, but it did finally shut her up. Although, when we were dismissed, she was still trying to show me that she hadn't surrendered just yet, when she was saying (in a pretty loud voice, so I could hear) that she had voiced her thoughts, and she thought that I didn't do any of the work and was only trying to take the credit for myself...

...?

You call that teamwork? Earlier the first week when we started building, it was evident that although Stephen was the Project Manager, Erica was easily taking charge. She and him argued a lot, and I once commented that we weren't acting as a team should. Stephen said he thought we were (in his opinion, to be more specific), but I quietly thought that we weren't acting as one...

...

Well, you make the decision of who's right and who's wrong. All I wanted was to get this project done and get a good grade. <_<
I'll be SO glad when it's over; personally, I'd rather work on the review than on bridges, It's much quieter that way...

Anyway, in homeroom, we watched the rest of Shrek 2.

In lunch, I gave my mangurines to Kirby, because she forgot her lunch while fretting with her dad about her clothing for the NJS awards ceremony; poor thing. ^_^;

*pats Kirby's head*

The good thing is that I wasn't hungry afterwards, so...^_^

In English, we continued our vocabulary cards. When I was cutting, I pinched my finger with the siccors...
Yeah, it burned for about a minute...><
It's still all blistery.

The rest were just awards ceremonies. I got three awards: One for joining the Robotics club (of course, you should know by now that I love LEGO, thanks to BIONICLE), an A/B honor roll certificate; I made all A's with only one or two B's, and they were high B's, and a keyboarding certificate of 58 words per minute (actually, it's supposed to be 60 words per mintue, since that's as high as I got, but what I think was that she put what our last goal was, so...it's okay, I'm glad).

Kogatana got a free year book from his friend. Since I'm being hurried here to take a shower, I'll have to end this pst here. Later...

Somewhere, out there...
Three guys die and go to heaven. The first goes up to St. Peter who says, "I have only one question before you go into heaven: Were you faithful to your wife?"

The guy answers, "Yes, I've never even looked at another women."

St.Peter says, "See that Rolls-Royce over there?? That's your car to drive while you're in heaven."

The second guy gets the same question, and answers, "Once I strayed, but I confessed to my wife and she forgave me and we worked it out."

St. Peter says, "See that new Buick over there, that's your car to use in heaven."

The third guy answers the same question, "I have to admit, I've chased every girl I saw, and was with a lot of women."

St. Peter says, "Okay, but you were basically a good guy, so that old VW Bug over there is yours to use while you're in heaven.

The three guys go off on their separate ways.

A few weeks later, guy #2 and guy #3 are driving along when they see guy #1's Rolls Royce parked outside of a bar.? They stop and go into the bar andfind guy #1 with empty bottles all around him, face down with his face in is hands on the bar.? They come up to him and guy #2 says, "Bud, what could possibly be so bad-you're in heaven, you drive a Rolls Royce, and everything is great!"

He says, "I saw my wife today!"?The other two answer, "That's great!? What's the problem?"

He answers, "She was riding a skateboard!"


Well...

Uh, today's Saturday. ^_^;

Yeah, I'm trying to make an interesting post here to make it seem long enough to satisfy myself (I hate short posts...><)

Um...well, today we have beautiful weather today. ^_^;

Mostly today, I was jus looking at the Naruto manga. I feel sorry for Sasuke and his childhood. A lot of the Naruto characters seem to have bad childhoods (and yet, a lot of them don't). Or DO they? XD

Yeah, do we see much in-depth in Tenten or Kiba's childhood? Not really, I think. Or Shino. Or maybe I'm just totally clueless right now. :P

Well, I'm very happy to say that I've passed the TAKS test. ^_^
That means I won't have to take the extra class as a tutorial class; it gets to be an elective! And for my second elective, I'm choosing Theatre arts! ^_^

I hope I get it...

The other elective will be journalism. I have to thank the people of BS01 wiki for this, but I know that there are going to be many responsibilities, and deadlines headed my way...
All the part of growing up and learning the horrors of the real world. ><

Oh well. I think I'll have at least a little bit of fun.

Let's see...

I went outside and played with my dogs (Mazey and Rex)

Anyways...

This is the video I've been wanting to put up for an entire week: It's based on the 'old' Team 7 (aka young Team Kakashi). It's really a picture slide-show, but with the music playing, I thought this was one of the sweetest things I had ever seen (Kakashi-Gaiden related). The song is called 'Heaven' and is very sweet. Please enjoy this, and I look forward to your comments! ^_^

Late again. ^_^
Sorry I'm late again, but my mother and I were watching powerful (and a bit gruesome) Christian videos. VERY powerful. O_O
It was amazing and had the Great Message absorbed into it! I should put some of those up soon...maybe before shortly before school ends here.

Today in Art, we were told that we needed to make a poster for our school's PTA, to show our graditude to them, and it had to be spring-based I tried drawing as best as I could, and started to draw when before I even knew it, class was over. ^_^;

In Tennis, Kirby and I played singles, and I won. I know playing in the tournament was exauhsting, but at least I had regained my stamina and speed! ^_^

In Science we did...nothing. Absolutely NOTHING! We were schedualed to go to the computer lab, but my computer teacher said she didn't want to go, so we got to do just about whatever we wanted. I took a 'nap,' (if you can call closing your eyes and resting your arms and head on the table, yet still be awake a 'nap'). XD

In Pre-Algebra, we continued working on our bridges.

During homeroom, a boy asked if I wanted to play checkers against him (I need to become more outgoing with my fellow classmates, so I said sure). Even though I'm pretty good at checkers, I lost BIG TIME. Oh well, it wasn't a big deal; I said 'Good game' to him, and him to me. ^_^
Afterwards, we watched Shrek 2 (we got to finish the part when they were feasting; lunch really does things to you while you're waiting).

During lunch, Kirby let me try out sushi for the first time in my entire life! It actually tasted pretty good, so I asked for another one. I liked crunching the pepper; it tasted so much like a pickle to me, and I was craving for a pickle today. ^_^

In English, we tested. We also turned in our library books, and I told my English teahcer that I was very sorry to give up my book, because it was such an excellent story. The Ghost of Fossil Glen; ou Reading teacher read it aloud for us in 6th grade, and I liked it so much that I borrowed it from the library, so it's become one of my favorite books. I found out that there were two sequals to this book, but I haven't seen them, so I can't view them. I told my mother today that if I ever find The Ghost of Fossil Glen, I'd like to have it.
I also found out that not only did I pass the Reading TAKS test, I got commended! That's TWO subjects I was commended in! ^_^

That Reading test was SO easy...
I had a pretty good feeling I'd pass.

In Computer Lit. we continued on our projects; I just can't seem to figure out how I'm supposed to transfer the data from a spreadsheet to a piechart?! ><;
Oh well, I'll ask my teacher again about it on Mon.

In American History, I finished my Guided Reading and started on a puzzle.

I viewed the newest chapter for the manga, and the new episode, and I have to say that things are getting VERY interesting! XD

*Sigh* I feel as though I will fall asleep here at any moment, so I will try to hurry up things here...

Today's video is Sakura's theme, as I put up Naruto's theme. Tommorow, I'd like to put up that Team Kakashi video I found...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp193XSjptQ



*Yawn*

Good night, and remember: JESUS LOVES YOU!!!
