I don't own Naruto.

Also, I would like to recommend a story I think is original and interesting. It's called A Gun & Kunia by imchigon. I think anyone who wants to read a different kind of Naruto OC story should check it out

May 22nd

Well, it's official. As of today, Kakashi Hatake will be a jounin, leading squads in missions, just like Minato-sensei. I would say that I am surprised that he advanced so quickly, but I'm not really. He's always been good at everything, even if he can be such a bastard at times.

... Okay, maybe that was a little uncalled for. It's just that the fact that my Little Fang is now my superior bugs me a little... Okay, it bugs me a lot. But in all honesty, he deserves to be a jounin. He earned it. I'll just have to train extra hard to catch up to him.

On a lighter note, my thirteenth birthday is coming up! I'll finally be the same age as Obito! No longer will he be able to pull the 'You're younger than me, so I have to protect you,' thing. It annoys the crap out of me, especially when half of the time it's me and Rin saving his poor ass from getting killed.

Speaking of a certain Uchiha looks like he's going to be late again. I think for his next birthday I think I'm going to get an extra loud, extra annoying, alarm clock.

I've also had this really nagging feeling in my chest for the past little bit. Actually, it's been longer than a little bit. I've had this feeling for over a year I think. I didn't want to write anything about it until I was sure, and I'm still not. All I know that it grows till it almost burns inside me when Kakashi is alone, or when he smiles... Or when I see some girl gives him a present, her face flushed. The latter is when it hurts the most especially after he accepts the 'presents'. I really hope I'm not fallin-

"Harmony, you're writing in that old journal again? I wouldn't be surprised if it fell apart one day," I snapped my journal in fright when I heard Rin talk. I looked over my shoulder and through my fire red hair that was covering my left eye and saw her leaning over me, trying to get a glance at what I was writing.

"Hey! What's with closing it all of a sudden? Writing something you don't want anyone else to see?" She asked with a good-natured smile as she straightened up, holding a hand out to help me up. I scowled at her playfully before I grabbed her hand, letting her pull me up.

"Like I would ever tell you Rin. That's the point of journals. They are meant to keep the writers secrets a secret," I told her, punching her lightly in the arm. "Besides, you're the person that got me to start writing in this thing again. I think your exact word where 'It'll be a way to let out all the emotions that you keep bottled up in yourself.'."

Rin gave a small giggle when I said that," Ya, but I didn't mean get lost in your own little word every time you write in it. We both know how complex your mind is, and how easy it is for you to get lost in it."

"What will we do if you get lost in your maze during a mission? Not only would it jeopardize the mission, but everyone on the squad if you're not paying attention to what's going on?" A young, cold emotionless voice asked, making both Rin and I turn around to face the owner of the voice. I smirked when Rin stuck her tongue out at him, even if the feeling in my chest got warm again. I quickly brushed it off as nothing before walking over to the boy; swing my arm over his shoulders.

"Oh lighten up, Little Fang," I told him as I placed my arm on his shoulder, just to get a reaction out of him. Which he did, a cold dark glare, which I responded with a cheeky smile before I swatted the back of his gravity-defying grey hair with my hand, making me having to quickly duck, barely avoiding a well-timed punch from him.

"Harmony, don't instigate a fight with Kakashi," Minato said as he watched us, I crouched on the ground and Kakashi following his punch with a low kick, trying to knock me down. I leapt up and used Kakashi's shoulders as a catapult as I flipped over him, landing on the other side.

"Fiiiine," I dragged out when I landed, stepping away from Kakashi when he turned around slowly, no longer trying to hit me while I flipped my waist long hair over my shoulder so it hung down my back and my side bangs so they didn't cover my face as much.

"By the way Sensei. Where's Obito? I thought he would have been here by now?" I heard Rin ask Minato-sensei.

"Rin, you should really know by now that Obito will always be late. And he should be here in 3... 2...1." I counted down, timing it almost perfectly with the happy-go-lucky Uchiha who just crashed harshly onto the ground, right by Kakashi's feet, covered in dirt and god knows what else.

"Did I just make it in time?" Obito asked, trying to make it seem like he wasn't panting

"Nope, because you're late! Obito!" Kakashi said with a disappointing look and his arms crossed. Though you could only really tell that he was disappointed by his voice and eyes, seeing as the bottom half of his face was covered with a dark blue mask. "You idiot! What time did you thing we were meeting?! If you're a full-fledged shinobi, you should naturally follow the rules and regulations strictly!" Kakashi chastised Obito as Obito slowly got up.

"No... On the way, I had to show the way to an old woman carrying luggage... Plus, there was something in my eye..."

"What? That's a lie!" Kakashi yelled.

"Hey! Don't talk like that, Kakashi!" Obito yelled back, now sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"Oh stop lying Obito. I love you and all, and you're a great friend, but we all know that's is not why your la-"

"Don't say that Harmony," Minato-sensei cut me off in a gentle tone," you went with the old lady, didn't you Obito?"

"I carried her luggage too!" Obito exclaimed as he rummaged through his bag, pulling out a small container, and took his large orange goggles off, squishing the liquid through the eye dropper attached to his 'irritated eyes'.

"... You're a real pushover. You should be getting angry at Obito. Every single time. Those ninjas who don't follow the rules and regulations are called trash! That's how it is." Kakashi now chastises Minato-sensei.

"...Hahaha," Minato-sensei laughed unsurely, a small bead of sweat running down the side of his face. I had to stop myself from hitting Kakashi in the back of the head again, only this time, a little harder.

"Have you no kindness in you?! It's always about the rules! The regulations! Just shut up!" Obito said as he rubbed his eyes. "The key point is your own self-control."

"Hey, hey. Don't you two ever stop? You're on the same team, aren't you?" Rin said, trying calm down the two boys. I just sighed and shook my head in defeat. 'There's no way to stop them, they're like fire and ice, total opposites that can never see eye-to-eye.'

"Rin, you're too easy-going towards Obito... This is a very important day for me"

"Yeah... Yeah, it is..." Rin said, now not sure what to say.

"What was it again?" Obito asked, making me question his brain functioning again.

"Let's get going. If we want to reach our destination we have to leave now," Kakashi said as he turned around and began to walk, Minato-sensei and Rin diligently following.

"Geez Obito. Did you knock out a few brain cells when you hit the ground?" I asked him with a small laugh as I walked towards him and held out a hand, just like how Rin had done for me. Obito gave me a wide smile as he grabbed my hand, understanding my joke.

"Nope! Though I wonder if you have any let, seeing as you hang out with Mr. Rules-come-first." I smirked and pulled him up.

"Har-har. Very funny Mr. I-can't-be-on-time-to-save-my-life. Now let's go before we fall too far behind." Obito nodded and began to jog lightly, seeing as they three had gotten so far ahead. I jogged alongside him, my hair swishing back and forth behind me.

"Hey, Harmony. Why do you hang out with Kakashi? All he does is glares and scolds," Obito questioned as we jogged. I gave a small smile, feeling my cheeks heat up slightly, but I fought it and pushed the heat down.

"That's not all he does. I've known him ever since we were kids, so why wouldn't I hang out with him? He just really likes to scold you." Obito grumbled a bit under his breath after I said this, making me laugh.

"Well... Today is Kakashi inaugurated as a jounin, just like me. To make missions efficient, I and his team will be split, since the military power of Konoha has hit an all-time low." Minato-sensei explained as the five of us walked through the countryside.

"Split. Then..." Obito said confused, walking behind our sensei.

"Yeah! That's right. Kakashi will become the captain of your four-man squad. And I'll be on my own."

"I told you about it before Obito, to get Kakashi a present," Rin said as she walked beside me, both of us in front of Minato-sensei and Kakashi a little ahead of us. I wasn't really paying attention to what was going on because the air around us was so calm and soothing that I couldn't help but pull out my emerald green flute that my mother had given to me as a child and play a soft tone. It was supposedly a clan heirloom and had once been played by one of the founders of my clan. After I had stopped playing, deep in thought about my clan I ran a finger over one end on the flute, closer to the mouthpiece, where a single crescent moon with three lines running through it and two stars connecting to the lines carved into it. The symbol of my clan.

'And now they are all dead... Just because they still feared the 'illness' that is in my blood.' Sardonic thoughts ran through my mind as we walked, making me want to just close my eyes and forget all that was around me.
