Chapter 1:Enter Hikari Momoto! It's Show time!
*Beep* *Beep* *Beep* "Awww man…" I groaned as I rolled over to greet my alarm clock, with the usual slap to snooze button. "OH SHIT IT'S 6:30! I'M LATE!" I bolted to the bathroom and took a quick shower, threw on some clothes and started to run for the door. I stopped dead at the table beside the door. I smiled at the picture sitting here. It was a picture of my mother a silver locket hung on the corner of it's frame. I bowed "Good morning Mom!" I laughed at myself and gently took the locket "I almost forgot you didn't I?". I quickly put on my blue sandals and bowed once more "Mom… swear…I…I'll make you proud!" I smiled "Time to go!" I ran out the door and made my way quickly towards the Ninja Academy.
I flung open the door "Gomenasai Iruka-Sensei!" I bowed. He only sighed "Hikari what am I gonna do with you?" I smiled nervously "I'm so sorry." He smiled and patted my shoulder "What's done is done. Take your seat." I skipped to my seat beside a brunet, she wore Chinese style clothes, the buns in her air completed the outfit. She smiled "Dude again? Geez your never on time." I grinned "Oh shut up. Did I miss anything yet? Did it start?" She shook her head "No, lucky for you we were just about to when you barged in. I let out a sigh of relief. Today's the day…Mother…I can do this!
Iruka-Sensei raised his hand to get our attention "Okay class we will now begin the graduation exam!" I raised my hand. "Yes Hikari?" I stood up "But Iruka-Sensei, you haven't explained what the exam is yet." He smiled "Right you are Hikari. Listen up! Your exam will be on both the transformation and clone jutsu! You will be required to complete these two jutsu's, those who do not meet these requirements will fail and repeat the year over again. I want you to form a line. When your name is called you will come to the end of the hall and through the green door, there you will take your exam. If you pass you are to report to room 500 on hall C. With that said Good Luck to all of you!" I smiled and looked at Ten Ten "We can do this! We'll pass and become true ninja!" Ten Ten laughed "Yeah, this'll be a piece of cake." I looked back just in time to see a blond boy dart toward me "Hikari-Chan!" I fell backwards in my chair "Aw Naruto! Good morning to you too." He laughed "Hikari-Chan we'll pass this test! And one day become the greatest ninja in the village-no the greatest ninja on the planet!" A dark haired boy walked over and pulled Naruto off me, ten helped me up. He sighed "Naruto you really are an idiot." I laughed "Good morning Sasuke! Are you ready for the exam?" He nodded "Morning Hikari, yeah it sounds easy enough…What about you? Are you Ready?" I gave him a thumbs up "Yep! I trained all night last night, from the time we got out of here to about four in the morning!" Ten Ten noticed my hands and part of my leg were bandaged "Hikari I told you not to push yourself too hard, it's dangerous." Iruka clapped his hands "Okay line up!"
We all lined up and waited for our name to be called. The first kid walked down the hall to take his exam. Ten Ten glanced at my hand "Let me see." I shook my head. She seized my hand, I winced at the pain as it quickly shot through my hand and into my arm. She took off the bandage and gasped. Blisters, deep cuts, and ugly bruises covered my hands some still bled alittle. "Hikari! Look at your hands, my god what kind of training were you doing these wounds are serious!" I pulled my hand away and replaced the bandages "It's nothing." Ten Ten stared at me for a moment "Hikari…please you have to be more careful." I nodded, my leg had began to hurt terribly. "Uzumaki Naruto! Your up!" I gave Naruto a high five as he passed me "Good luck Naruto!" He grinned "Yeah good luck to you too Hikari-Chan!" He ran down the hall "I'M READY BELIEVE IT!" We all snickered. After Naruto, Sasuke was called "Uchiha Sasuke!" He walked toward the door, but turned and looked at me before he walked through. I grinned and gave him a thumbs up "Go get em Sasuke, I'll meet you and Naruto soon." He nodded "Room 500 hall C." I nodded and he left the room.
"Hey Hikari!" A pink haired girl called to me from down the line. "Yes Sakura?" She frowned "Why dose Sasuke talk to YOU? Why are you so special?" "Yeah just what kind of relationship do you two have anyway?" a blonde girl chimed in. I shook my head "We're just friends-" " Oooh dose he talk about me?" the two girls said in unison." I grinned "Oh yes he talks about both of you all the time…He talks about how utterly annoying you both are." "I'll show you annoying!" Sakura rushed towards me, I just stood waiting for her attack. She drew back and threw one punch. I dodged it, twisted her arm behind her back "Stand down, I don't want to fight you." "Well too bad!" Oh crap I forgot about Ino! I pushed Sakura away from me and narrowly dodged Ino's kick. A sharp pain ran through my leg. No…Not now! I looked up as Sakura's fist connected with my face. I rolled about two feet, I attempted to get up. Ino was already carrying out her next attack, "Take this!". Crap! I don't have time to dodge I can't counter either! "S-Stop!" I yelled. I waited for her foot to connect with my face, but it didn't. I gasped Ten Ten! She had come to my aid and blocked Ino, she proteted me. Ten Ten glared at the two girls "That is enough! Hikari didn't want this she told you she didn't want to fight yet you forced her to defend herself! One top of that you sank so low as to hit her when she was down and unable to stop you! She was already injured before this fight!" Sakura shifted her stance, Ten Ten stood protectively in front of me. I stood up slowly trying not to fall, I placed a hand on Ten Tens shoulder "Don't…we're done…" Ten Ten eased and followed me back in line.
"Are you sure your alright Hikari?" I nodded "I'm fine, thank you for the help Ten Ten." She smiled "Anytime." "Momoto Hikari! Your next!" I looked nervously at Ten Ten, she smiled "Go show em Hikari, I'll meet you at room 500 on hall C." I laughed "It's show time!" I walked through the classroom door and made my way down the hall. Mom…This is it!"
