Kiyomi's summary: yet again I have another OC fic. So this time its team 7 we all know what happens new girl in team 7 is uber smart and gets things quick. Everyone likes her and she is awesome well sucks to you Mary-sue as this new one is no Mary-sue
Walking through the abandoned hallways of the academy I sighed looking down at my feet as I clutched my binder closer to my chest. It was early class didn't start for another half an hour but I couldn't sleep in today of all days. Today is the day I am to take my Genin exam; I find it hard to study at home so I come to class early. When I say Genin exam most think about the practical side of things such as the Justu's. But it's not only that. You can't pass an exam on action alone; you need to show that you have your wits about you when you're a ninja.
I reach my classroom and open the door revealing a neat classroom rows of desks stacked neatly ready for the school day to begin. Alone again. Not that I minded, I'm always alone. Taking my seat in the third row to the right by the window I place my binder on the desk. As I let the sun's rays warm me, I am almost tempted to fall asleep but I can't exam nerves.
Right, I think to myself trying to motivate my brain into thinking. I look over my class notes and the notes which I made in the Library. I should have come here earlier it's so peaceful. Sighing I look out of the window my reflection staring back at me. I have brown eyes, just brown, not deep brown nor chocolate brown just brown. I also have brown hair, more brunette but for simplicity I call it brown. Normally if I let it down it reaches my waist but normally I pin it up. I used to wear it down but it's not practical also there is a boy in my class who has many fan girls they claim that he likes girls with long hair better. At that point I already had long hair, but I didn't want anyone thinking I was a fan girl so I began to pin it up with a hair clip. My hair doubles over the clip so where it's tied until halfway the clip holds in place the ends go over the clip making it look invisible so it looks like my hair is half the length in a ponytail. It sounds silly but that's my logic. The guy who I am talking about is the school heart throb Uchiha Sasuke. To be totally honest I don't see what is so great, I mean I don't think he's ugly but I don't think he is pretty either the only thing that I remotely like about him is that he is quiet and doesn't bug people.
Soon other students start to file in all taking different places in the room. We don't have specific seating arrangements but I tend to stay in the same area my desk where no one goes. I keep myself to myself so it shouldn't bother me that no one comes to sit with me or even asks if they can.
"I'm so pumped for today, believe it!" A blonde boy entering the classroom eagerly exclaims taking his seat at the front. He has to sit there so Iruka sensei can make sure he doesn't pull any pranks. His name is Uzamaki Naruto. A good kid at heart but too loud for my liking.
"Shut it Naruto. Has anyone seen Sasuke?" A pink haired girl swoons at the mention of her crushes name. Yes you guessed it a Sasuke fan girl. Haruno Sakura, also loud when it comes to insulting people or squealing over her crush. I hate loud people.
"He's probably waiting until the last minute doing extra studying." Another love sick voice exclaims this time it's a blonde named Yamanaka Ino. She isn't as loud as some fan girls but she is too noisy still.
Ignoring them I turn the page in my binder.
The three basic Justu's Genin's are tested on are Transformation Replacement and Cloning. Being able to complete these at a basic level is required in order for a Genin to graduate.
Soon enough nearly all the class are here sighing I put my binder away in my desk. Gazing out of the window once again I think Someday things will change for the better. In a way I just wish I had someone to talk too.
My thoughts are interrupted by numerous squeals: "Sasuke-kun! I love you" "Sasuke-kun I made you lunch!" "Sasuke-kun come sit next to me!" I kind of feel sorry for that guys ears. Who knew being popular could be so hard.
Ignoring them I indulge in my favourite hobby for the classroom and gaze again out of the window. But once again my thoughts are interrupted by someone
"Megumi." It's a short sharp voice belonging to a male. Looking up I see none other than Uchiha by my desk. "May I sit here?" He asks politely. I just respond with a mere nod.
I feel the deadly aura grow around me.
"Who does she think she is? Stealing our Sasuke-kun."
"Yeah no one sits with her."
"Sasuke-kun is ours; he shouldn't sit next to her."
I hear the mutters grow.
"Hey Sakura-chan, will you go on a date with me?" The blonde asks. He is somewhat infatuated with Sakura but she doesn't return the feelings.
"Sasuke-kun, there's room over here come sit with me" She flails her arms about trying to gain attention
"Sakura-chan I don't think the teme wants to sit with you that's why he sat over there."
"Shut it Knuckle head."
"Damned fan girls" I hear the Uchiha mutter.
At this I quirk an eyebrow. He seems to notice but I look away sharply.
Then the blonde kid came over starting to be loud again. He always is somehow the situation ended up with Naruto falling onto Sasuke and kissing him straight on the lips. To be honest I didn't know they were that way. But judging by their reactions it wasn't intentional. Of course Naruto got beaten to a pulp by the fan girls.
This is our last lesson before the exam this afternoon. It is basically just a revision lesson but still I need to make sure I am fully prepared.
Iruka-sensei arrives in the classroom and almost sits on a pin which Naruto put on his chair. It is funny to watch but I would never have the guts to do that.
He begins the revision with Chakra and how it is our life energy. I already revised this, this morning. It does bore me but I try focus none the less. Until I realise there is a note by my elbow. I push it over to Sasuke. It will be a note from one of his fan girls, probably exclaiming their love.
To my surprise it is pushed straight back to me. And in neat blank ink there is Megumi my name on the top.
So I send it back by answering 'yes' while Iruka is drawing a diagram on the chalk board.
'I only sat here to avoid the fan girls.'
'That's nice'
'Why do you sit all alone?'
'I like it'
And with that the strained conversation through notes ended. Soon enough Iruka moved on to explain the basic survival skills. Maybe I shouldn't have revised this, this morning. But then again it shows that my revision pays off. Eventually Lunch came around. I headed out to my favourite spot behind the academy in the trees. I say headed I didn't get too far. Fan girls stepped in front of me blocking my way.
"Why did Sasuke-kun sit with you today? We're much prettier, and also you don't even have long hair. Sasuke-kun only likes girls with long hair." This was Sakura bothering me.
Looking behind me I saw Ino Yamanaka, and a few other fan girls I didn't know the names of.
I just shook my head. Saying I don't know.
"What do you mean no? Are you saying you're prettier?"
I shook my head again, clutching my pad and bento closer to my chest.
"So you admit that we're prettier?"
Nodding my head I agreed with them I mean Ino has pretty blue eyes and Sakura has unique pink hair. I wouldn't change myself to look like that but I do think they are pretty. Although there is one girl I think is prettier her name is Hinata. She is one of the only non-loud people in my class apart from a boy named Shino and the Uchiha.
"Sakura-chan! Do you want to get some Ramen for lunch with me?" Naruto yells approaching the group. Who all look around distracted. Allowing me to slip away unnoticed.
As I walk into my favourite place, a small secluded clearing. It's quiet here, but also relaxing. I have an hour and a half before I need to be back for the exam so I can take my time with my lunch.
Opening up my bento I place my pad aside. Unclasping the chopsticks I utter a silent Ikaidamsu and tuck in, enjoying my culinary delights. After a while I finish eating and place my bento aside, picking up my pad. I begin to sketch random things, a rabbit which is just a little bit further out into the trees, a butterfly perched on a flower. I am so absorbed in my drawing I don't notice the figure who was sitting in a tree observing me. Once I am done I set down my pencil leaning back against the tree I close my eyes and enjoy the sunlight on my face.
"Why don't you eat with the other girls?" A deep baritone voice asks. Making me jump I knock over my water bottle which I left the cap off, it splashes onto my pad.
My eyes widen as I realise there is water over my drawing as I begin to shake it out. Suddenly a hand wraps around my wrist.
"Speak to me when I ask a question." The Uchiha states as I flinch at the sudden contact.
Signalling for him to release my wrist he does. I pull a page from my pad and write
'I don't speak.' I write in my neat font
"Can you not or will you not?"
'What does it concern you?' I reply back in almost the same tone except on paper
"I am an Uchiha the most powerful clan in Kononha, when I ask a question you must answer it. Please." He added onto the end
'Fine, they do not like me and the feeling is mutual. Happy now?' I wrote down rather hurriedly
"Yes. But that still doesn't answer my other question." His eyebrows knitting together
'I am allowed to have my secrets Uchiha-san as I am sure you do.' That I do not want to share, I will not share.
"Fine." He huffed and sat down on the grass next to me.
'What are you doing?' I ask since I am puzzled by his actions
"Hiding from the fan girls and talking to you." Poor guy fan girls must be desperate for him to end up hiding.
'Why talk to me?'
"You interest me." I almost choke on my water at this
'Any particular reason?'
"Yes, you are different from the others. I find it pleasant to be around someone who doesn't annoy me."
'What about the other boys in the class?'
"Most idolise me too much or want to fight like Dobe."
'Dobe?'
"Uzamaki Naruto. He wants to become Hokage I doubt he will even make Genin, but he is a rival none the less."
'I see, do you see me as a rival?'
"No, you seem too weak, but I should not underestimate you as I have not seen you in action." He wisely states. Hold on when did he get wise, oh I know Iruka must have said that in today's revision.
'You are right do not underestimate the enemy. If I am not a rival what do you see me as.'
"An acquaintance close to friend."
'After you talked to me for the first time today?'
"Yes. You should be grateful to have a friendship with an Uchiha." There he goes again he thinks much of himself.
'If you say. I wouldn't mind being friends; I haven't had any in a while.' I reply. It is actually enjoyable talking to someone for a change.
By now my drawing has dried out since it is a warm day thank goodness. I didn't want to re-do it. Carefully I add some lines to even out the rabbits ears and fill the eyes so they look alive with Sasuke looking on. I don't care anyway.
"We should get going the exam is in 10 minutes." Sasuke says standing up and brushing his white shorts down.
Sighing I close my pad picking up my bento box after I re-attach my water bottle to its pouch on my belt. I was about to push myself off the ground when a hand appeared in my view. Sasuke was offering me a hand up. Gratefully I took it since my Bento and pad are a little awkward to get up with.
As we walk back to class I begin to slow my pace so I am behind Sasuke, I don't want the fan girls to see us together otherwise they would have my head. Unfortunately Sasuke seems to realise and slows down to my pace. I try slowing down further but he does the same, so I stop, so he does.
Oh so he wants to play it like that does he? I start to run ahead hoping he can't keep up. Looking to my right he is running leisurely by me.
I raise an eye brow in question. He just states "I am walking to class with you; it will be amusing to see the fan girls faces."
He hasn't thought this through. As we enter the school building I see the looks of hatred cast towards me, so I focus on looking at my feet. Sasuke leans closer and whispers "Ignore them."
Why does he even care anyway? He's only doing this to amuse himself. Thankfully Iruka-sensei is already in the classroom, so no-one dares try anything. Not even when Sasuke takes the same seat as before.
The exam was easier than expected; to be honest it was a walk over.
First question: Name 3 ninja tools
Second question: Name the 3 vital beginner Justus
Third question: What hand sign is commonly used for fire affinity Justus?
They were all that easy. But then again they were easy since I revised.
Next came the physical exam: We had to complete an obstacle course alone and then show an examiner a good example of a transformation Justus and a clone Justus.
Since I studied I was allowed to collect my Headband. I now wear it around my neck proudly. I am now a ninja.
Once it was over the results were posted on the chalk board. I was actually surprised when I got a high score. I didn't bother looking at others results since people were waiting to see what they got behind me.
As I sit down at my desk Sasuke follows close behind and I see he also has his headband. I mouth to him well done when I think it's safe.
"Well done to all those who passed the exam tomorrow you will be appointed to your individual teams. Until then you may go." Iruka finished.
It would seem that everyone passed the exam except for one. Naruto, the blonde kid. I felt bad for him, I really wanted to approach him and say that it would be ok and I'm sure he can pass next time. But my courage failed, I am not a people person. Thank fully Sasuke had left me alone so I could leave on my own.
Time skip, when I got home.
After about a 15 minute walk through the village, I finally arrived home to an empty house.
"Nii-san?" I hoarsely called out trying to find out whether he was home. But no reply. Walking over to the fridge I find a note.
Megumi, sorry for the short notice. I have to attend a mission delivering a scroll to the Mizukage, it was rather sudden. Hopefully there is enough food in the fridge if not go shopping. See you soon Kenji.
Typical Kenji always in a rush. Kenji is my older brother he is a Chunin and is soon to be taking the Jonin exam. At 23 I think he may be a little young to be a Jonin but if he didn't have the skill they wouldn't let him take the exam.
Looking in the fridge there is only a block of cheese a carrot a bag of rice and a cucumber. I don't even like cucumber. Looks like I have to go shopping. Sighing I place my bento and pad on the table and walk to my room. Glancing in the mirror I see my shiny new forehead protector around my neck which makes me smile. If only Kenji were here to celebrate with me. I know I should make a cake and we can share it when he gets back.
Picking up my purse I lock the door behind me and head off to the shops.
Dodging the many crowd s in the market place I finally get to my destination. First of all are the fruit and vegetables. Let's see I need leek, tomatoes, peppers and chilli. Placing the said ingredients into m basket. Then I grab some flour and milk, then a few other items before heading to pay for my belongings.
"Have a nice day Miss." The friendly shop owner calls out as I nod in return.
Stepping out onto the busy street a yellow blur passes me knocking my three paper bags out of my hands. Brilliant, I think as I bend down to pick things up. I end up on my hands and knees placing everything back into its bag since I don't like green foods touching red foods. It's just a habit of mine; Kenji always teases me about it.
"Here let me help." I can faintly hear a man's voice above the noise of others. I didn't realise it was addressing me.
I spot one of my tomatoes some distance away and go to grab it when someone steps on my hand. I give out a small yelp which goes un-noticed. Placing it back in its bag, I realise that everything else is back in the bags. I find I am not alone when someone picks two of my bags up apart from the one I'm clutching and offers me a hand up. I look up to see none other than Uchiha Sasuke.
Why is he helping me?
Kiyomi: Yes this is another OC fic I do allot of these anyway, it's just another experiment since I read allot of the new team 7 where Sakuras replacement is so awesome and popular. With amazing Kekkai Genkai and what not. All well liked and that but I wanted to do a different version so here I go. I hope Sasuke isn't to OOC I really tried to keep in character. Update on this may take a while since I am behind on updates and I will be returning to uni soon.
