Someone was shaking me from my sleep. I had an idea of who it was too,

"Get up already. Just because you're new doesn't mean you get to be late."

I recognized the voice, it was Kakashi. Grabbing a pillow, I blindly threw it at him while saying,

"Leave me alone."

I heard him shuffle around for a moment and with annoyance laced in his voice he says,

"Whatever. Be late on your first day."

He left my room and I sat upright. I pulled my hair back out of my face as I say to myself, 

"Crap."

~~~

Minato watches me as I approach the team slowly while saying, 

"Sorry I'm late Sensei. I overslept."

He pats my head with a small smile,

"It's alright. At least you didn't have a bad excuse."

I heard Kakashi scoff,

"I tried to wake you up." 

About to make a retort, Obito stopped me by hanging his arm over my shoulder, 

"Just ignore him. He thinks he's better than us." 

"That's enough,"

Minato steps between Obito and myself and Kakashi. He continues, 

"Today I want you all to show me what you can do by sparring against each other. Keira, you and Obito are up first."

As he says that, my stomach grew uneasy,

"Umm....Minato-Sensei, do I have to do this?"

He stares at me for a moment, which I found odd. I couldn't read his expression very well. It was either one of pity or something I've never really seen before.

What was it?

Fear?

No, he wouldn't be afraid of me.

Would he?

"Yes, I want to see what your skill level is."

He spoke slowly that time, why is he doing that, I wonder.

Obito grins and removes his arm from my shoulder to give me a thumbs up,

"Don't worry Keira! I'll go easy on you, I promise!"

I look down at my feet,

'Oh Obito, if only you knew what was wrong with me.' 

Then, the voice in my head came back,

'Knew what? That you're a murderer and a monster?'

'Shut up Okuri, that wasn't my fault. It was yours and you know it.' 

The voice hummed, as if mocking me, and I didn't hear anything else.

"Hey Keira, are you okay?"

Obito was waving his hand in front of my face. I swat his hand away,

"I'm fine. Let's just....get this over with."

~~~

"Are you both ready?"

Minato asks as he, Rin, and Kakashi stand to the side of Obito and I. Obito puts his fist in the air,

"Of course I am!"
