Kyohaku walked into an alley of the Konoha streets. Her Hinata-like hair was black as the midnight sky. Her eyes were the same color. On her right was silver haired girl. She had bloody red eyes. She wore a black dress like her sister's dress. Her blood red headband was tied around her waist. On her hands were fingerless black gloves. Only they went up to her wrist. Her name was Yamanka Akina. On the left of Star, was another girl. She had long brown hair, like Sakura's, green eyes, and a blood red head band. She had a black battle dress with lines like Sakura's, only her lines were blue. She had a pair of black shorts. Her headband was on the top of her hair like Sakura's. To tell you the truth, she was like a twin sister to Sakura. They both wore the same clothes and headbands the same place. Her name was Hale Akira and she was rivals with Akina.

Star and her friends stopped in the middle of the alley. They saw Star's brother and his team along with Konohamaru's team. On the opposite side were four sand ninjas. One girl had long blue hair and green eyes. She had her Suna headband on her pants like a belt. Only, unlike Lee, it looked cute on her body.

She sighed as she looked Star's way. She seemed to be familiar but Star couldn't put her black nails on it (LOL). "OI, blue haired girl, what's your name?" Sasuke asked the girl as she turned her gaze to meet his. "Roxy, Roxy No Subaku." She replied. "What's yours?" she asked Sasuke and Star's. "Uchiha Sasuke," Sasuke said. "Uchiha Kyohaku," Star replied as Roxy's teammate turned his gaze to meet hers. God, why do people stare at me? Star thought angrily. His team jumped off as hers walked away towards Kumi's house.

Kumi and Halie were twin sisters and the other friends of Star's. Kumi had short jagged black hair with a brown ribbon that held it up and blue eyes. She always wore a white dress that was outlined with blue. Halie had short jagged brown hair with a black ribbon holding it up and green eyes. She always wore a white dress that was outlined with green.

Star knocked on the door. Two girls answered it. "Hey, mis amigas," Kumi said pulling the door out a little wider and allowing the girls to come in. She had been recently learning Spanish. The girls could get info on every person in Konoha and even the other countries. They both could also read minds and read fortunes. They walked up to Kumi's room. Kumi and Halie smirked.

"You want info on Roxy No Subaku and her team," Kumi and Halie said. They pulled out five stacks each hand from their cherry oak desks. They pulled out two cards from each of their decks. "Here," they said putting them face down and flipping them. Star leaned in to read them.

Meanwhile…

"Roxy," Gaara said coming into his younger sister's room. She sat at her bed with a card deck. "Hi, what up," she said Gaara. "I need you to give me info on Kyohaku Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha," he said sitting down on her bed next to her. She smirked as she flipped two brown cards face up. Gaara study Star's card first.

This is A GAARA POV and A STAR POV (The / means what they both read. PS the first one is Star's then Gaara's stats)

Name: Kyohaku/ Gaara, Age: 13/13, Skills in: Medical and Genjustu/Sand, A-Ranked missions: 1/0, B-Ranked Missions: 7/3, C-Ranked Missions: 13/12, D-Ranked Missions: 3/7. Wow, she's tough, Gaara thought surprised. Not so bad, Star thought admiring Gaara's picture.

Gaara's POV:

"So, she's strong and pretty, huh?" Roxy said smirking. "Yeah," Gaara said, not really knowing what he was actually saying. Roxy giggled as Gaara looked out the window to see…

Star's POV:

Star was sitting down on Kumi's bed thinking about Gaara. "He's strong and kinda cute, huh, Star?" Kumi asked coming back up stairs with thirty Cokes. "Why so many?" Akira asked. "Yeah he is, Kumi," Star replied taking a coke and popping the lid off. "And Akira, because we're having company," Kumi replied to Akira's question.

Gaara's POV:

Gaara saw Temari (HAHA, did you think it was Star) standing there in a long tan tee shirt, black shorts, and a black sleeping bag under her arm. "Sorry, Gaara I have to go." Roxy said standing up and grabbed her black sleeping bag. Gaara never realized that his sister was wearing a long blue shirt and black shorts.

Star's POV:

Ten minutes had passed as two girls jumped on the windowsill. It was the girls from the alley. Temari and Roxy I think were the names, Star thought. They sat down on Kumi's bed as two girls ran up stairs. One had long black hair and light green eyes. She wore a long red shirt with a white cross in the middle of it. The other girl had long black hair and green eyes. She wore the same thing as the other did. They looked like they went to the witch school across the street. OMG, they do. That's why they have those shirts and hair pieces, Star thought a little light blub appearing over her head. "Holla, Kira and Kisa, come sit." Kumi said as the two girls walked inside her room and sat on her bed.

"So, you're the Konoha ninjas we saw in the alley today huh?" Roxy asked. "Hai," Star, Akina, and Akira replied. Halie eyes widen as she turned her face away from everyone else with a huge blush. "Was it Kiba, again?" Kumi, Akira, Akina, Kira, Kisa and Star asked Halie. She nodded blushing again. Kumi eyes widen as she told the girls what Halie had read and she saw.

"I'll kill that perv," Akina said giggling slightly, feeling sad about her friend, Kiba-kun. "What happened?" Roxy and Temari asked. "Ok, Kumi and Halie can read minds and tell fortunes. Halie isn't too good with her power to read minds as well as Kumi. And she mostly gets her mind wandered away and starts thinking about her crush, Inuzuka Kiba. So she mostly reads his mind," Star said giggling to herself. "And reads his secret daydreams about her and him together," Kumi finished giggling also but the word 'SHE' was Akina not Halie.

Naruto's POV:

Naruto had heard that Sasuke's sister and her friends were throwing a slumber party at Kumi and Halie's house. Naruto had run off to the boys of Konoha AKA Kiba, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Shino, Neji and Lee. They all jumped silently to Kumi's house. And waited out their window, which happen to be open and heard everything since the beginning of the slumber party.

Star's POV:

A knock was heard at the door in a bit. Wondering who it was, Star bounced down the stairs. She opened the door, to see Hinata and Tenten. (BTW: Tenten doesn't like Neji) Tenten wore some green jogging pants and a pink tee shirt. Hinata wore a nice short blue spandex tank top with a pair of black jogging pants. They both could be easily known that they weren't wearing a bra. "KUMI-CHAN, HINATA AND TENTEN ARE HERE!!!!!!!!" Star yelled loud enough for the boys outside to hear them.

That night, the girls sat on Kumi's bed with pop-corn, cokes, and horror movies. Of course Akina and Akira brought their favorite things ever, two stuffed tiger animals. Sighing, Star started the horror watch-a-thon with, When a Stranger Calls. At the end Star walked over to the window to get some fresh air. While doing that, she bent down on near the trees and mouthed 'You can stay if you want but we'll kill you if you say anything'. The boys nodded excited.

That night, around midnight, Star grinned. "Can we play truth-or-dare?" Star asked. "Sure, with boys? I wonder who is still up," Kumi said winking at Star, so no one could see it. Halie nodded as she pulled her silver cell phone out and handed it to Kumi. She dialed a number as a boy answered it. She heard 'shut ups' in the back ground. "Hey, Sasuke-kun, can you and your friends come on over to my house now?" Kumi asked twirling a strand of her black hair using her middle and fore finger. "Really, awesome, great see you in four!" Kumi said hanging up.

"What you have a crush on him?" Roxy asked. "Nope, actually it gets on his nerves right, Starry-Chan," Kumi said smiling. "Yeah, it's really fun acting like a crazy fan girl, though Akina and Akira hate it, eh?" Star replied looking towards Akina and Akira. They were blushing and looking out the window. Star and her friends turned to see Naruto and his friends standing their wearing pairs of sleeping pants on. Roxy stared at Sasuke and was blushing also.

The only ones not blushing was the guys and Star. Star was staring at Gaara with full intent. He wore a pair of plain bloody red pants. And he stared at her also. "HEY SASUKE," Akina and Akira yelled in unison. Sasuke flinched and came inside sitting next to Roxy and Star. Gaara sat next to Star and Temari. SO here's the line-up starting with Kumi, who is by her bed: Kumi, Akira, Roxy, Sasuke, Star, Gaara, Halie, Kiba, Kisa, Shino, Kira, Lee, Akina, Kankuro, Hinata, Naruto, and finally Tenten.

Hinata was almost about to faint when Naruto touched her hand as Star asked Hinata "Truth or dare, Hinata-Sama?" "Um…d…dare, Star-Chan," Hinata replied being to feel a little bolder. Star smirked as Kumi and Halie giggled. Not fair, Hinata mouthed to them. "Hinata, I dare you to…let me ponder this for a moment…oh, I dare you to kiss Sasuke on the…" Star said not needing to finish. Hinata suddenly felt pale. Star didn't even need to finish her sentence. Hinata already knew she meant on…on…SASUKE'S LIPS?!?!?! "Or you can skip your turn and go in the closet with a boy for seven minutes," Star finished her dare. Huh? A Seven Minutes in Heaven game combined with a Truth-or-Dare game, awesome, Inner Hinata thought.

"I chose your second option." Hinata replied still feeling confident. "Ok, but with Naruto Uzamaki for seven minutes," Star replied using Hinata's crush to get her to kiss him. She's doing this for me. I really have to thank her, Inner Hinata thought as Hinata stood up. Naruto stood up also and walked into the closet with Hinata.

Hinata's POV:

Walking into the closet with Naruto made Hinata feel glad about her choice. The closet was pretty dark and tight. This made Hinata and Naruto almost able kiss. Kiss me, please, Naruto-kun, Hinata thought as Naruto leaned his head towards her lips. He pulled his hand around her waist and started to remove her shirt. OMFG, he got my shirt off! Hinata thought with her chest now completely bare. Naruto then placed his lips on her's as…

Star's POV:

"It's been ten minutes, you guys." Star said at looking Kumi and Halie, who were zoned out. "What is? What's going on?" the girls asked them as they fainted. Star started to rub her temples as Hinata and Naruto came back out. Hinata wasn't blushing or fainted but smiling. She never smiled. Unless… Star began to think as they sat down.

The game went pretty fast before almost everyone fell asleep. Sasuke was lying down with Roxy at his side. Star and Gaara were the only ones up. "Um… Gaara, do you ever think you should smile when happy?" Star asked looking out the window. They were both sitting on the window sill. "Kinda, do you ever smile?" Gaara asked looking at Star. "Yes, but it's only used to cover up my hurt and sorrow." Star replied showing a little fake smile. "Now I see what you mean," Gaara said easily seeing the sadness and her sorrow.

Around three, Star yawned as the wind pulled her shirt up a little. Star pulled it down in a flash. "Are you tried, Star-Chan?" Gaara asked as Star lied her head on the side of the window sill. "No Gaara-kun," Star replied looking his way. "I was just thinking about Kaila." Star said looking back out. "Who's Kaila?" Gaara asked.

"Kaila Hells is a girl who was once a Konoha ninja and my best friend. She left us," Star said tears forming in her eyes. "She disappeared years ago, about seven years ago. She was seven while we were six. She started to blur lines of insanity. She then ran away from Konoha three months after her seventh birthday. I thought she was kidnapped until we, "Star said looking at Akina, Akira, Kumi, and Halie, then turned her gaze back to Gaara. "Were told to go on a mission to retrieve her," Star said as single clear tear rolled down her pale face. "We had learned that she ran off to join the Akatsuki."Star said as a few more tears rolled down her cheeks. "We came after her and Star went under cover." A voice said, as Gaara and Star turned to see Halie and Kumi standing there. They had tears on their cheeks and shirts. They were crying also.

"When Star went under cover, we stayed outside of the Akatsuki base and listened to the thoughts of the other members. Then it happened," Halie said looking grim. "Kaila had been a wonderful poison maker and healer. She had dipped her kunai in her famous killing poison and she walked into Star's room. Star and Kaila left like sisters to each other and Kaila hated it when Star was praised when she did an amazing medical justu when Kaila had known killing poisons not even Sasori knew about. She thought Star was asleep and plunged the kunai into Star's heart." Kumi said as Star touched her chest, where the kunai had almost killed her. "When she did this, Star was wide awake and could feel the poison spreading through out her body. Of course, Star couldn't move and she quietly screamed in agony. I knew everything from Kaila's thoughts to her feelings. She felt really mad at herself for almost killing her best friend and scared that Star wouldn't live. Halie and I came out of the trees with Akina and Akira following us." Kumi said. "Star immediately fainted from the poison and her breathing and heart began to slow down. Kaila couldn't believe what she just did and ran back to her room bringing a vile back with her." Kumi said. "And in that vile held the cure for the killing poison," Star said.

The girls and Gaara looked when they heard a puff of smoke appear. In that puff, held a girl with crystal green eyes and brown hair, she wore a bloodied Akatsuki robe. On her face was a pair of wire rimmed glasses. She was bleeding from her heart and stomach. Star and Kumi immediately realized her to be Kaila Hells. And she was sure in Hell. Star and Kumi walked over to her as she fainted. "Kuso, someone stabbed her with her own poison." Star said checking her pulse. Gaara and the other girls walked behind Kumi and Star.

"Her heart's failing along with her lungs. Where is her antidote?" Star asked Kumi as Kaila whispered something. It was in Greek and the only ones who knew Greek were Kumi, Halie, and Star. (Don't ask) "Check her bag, Kumi." Star said as Kumi pulled out a vile of pink liquid. "Of course, only she could make a pink antidote," Star whispered.

In ten minutes, they had gotten most of the poison out of her body and stopped the bleeding. "Wow, I thought she was supposed to be our spy for Konoha, what happened?" Kumi asked Kaila, who was wrapping gauze around her cut right hand. She strained for words. "T…they…found…out…about…me…spy," Kaila said. "Kaila's vocal cords are some what damaged." Kumi and Star said in unison. "Kumi you're gonna need your power for this." Star said. Akina had gone back to bed with Kiba again.

Kaila and Kumi then went to bed, leaning on the wall. Halie laid against the wall next Akira, Kumi, and Kira. Gaara sat on the window sill with Star pulled close to his chest. He placed his hands protecting Star. She closed her eyes. Before she slumber took over her, she felt some body's lips press against hers. It was a slight peck on the lips. Not a real kiss and not their first kiss. Star fell into slumber thinking of Gaara and the Chunnin Exams.

The next morning, the morning of the first exam, was kinda weird. The boys woke up to see their crushes lying next to them (mostly Kiba though cause he likes Akina and she likes him). Only Sasuke and Roxy were happily snuggled up together. Akina and Akira fainted seeing this. Star woke up lying on Gaara's chest, which was bare. Kuso, why does he have so much like-able looks? Star thought as she pushed her aching legs over the sill. She still couldn't figure out if she liked Gaara as a boyfriend or just a friend. The girls shooed the boys out of Kumi's room as they changed.

Gaara's POV:

After being totally begged to show them the girls changing, Gaara created his sand eye and a little screen to show them. Although the only girl they couldn't see was Star, which only Gaara could see in his own mind. He saw her remove her shirt and shorts to put on a pair of cropped pants and a brown sleeveless hoodie with her clan symbol on the back. Gaara could see Naruto starring at Hinata, who was pulling on her purple undershirt over her white bra. (A/N: YOU PEEPING TOMS!!!!)

Star's POV:

After putting on her hoodie, Star started walking towards the door, her feet gliding over the carpet. "AH! No, great! We're late for school!" Kira shrieked as Star helped her get her shirt on without killing herself. "Thanks Star-sama," Kira said as she and her sister disappeared out the window. Star watched as they got yelled at by their headmistress.

Finally she and Hinata walked out the door to find Gaara and Naruto waiting for them. "Oh, hi boys, what up?" Star asked as she and Gaara walked out of Kumi's house. Star was thinking of ways to cheat for the exams. It looked as Hinata was thinking was thinking the same thing. She kept twiddling Naruto and hers fingers. She kept giggling also.

When they got there, Naruto and Hinata waited for their teammates to get there. Gaara and his team walked inside. Star just found out that Akina and Akira were fighting about Sasuke inside on the third floor, the real one not the second floor. She walked up and entered inside.

They sat near Gaara and his team. Roxy and Star started talking away the time. Akina and Akira began talking to Temari about fans. Akira and Akina each had a four little black fans and one big one each. They all stopped talking when Ibiki came out.

Star looked around her area to find anyone she knew. Hinata was somewhat near the front row. Gaara in the back, Temari in the middle along with Kankuro, Roxy on the top row, Akina behind Ino, and Akira was behind Hinata. Ok, she thought, this is gonna be hard. Alright, the exams began and Star began to use her cheating methods carefully. She found out that they DID need to cheat.

Instead of using Sharrigan, Star closed her eyes. She immediately began to think of the first three questions. After finding them, words began to slide across her mind. Kumi and Halie were communicating with them.

After ten minutes, the two teams of girls (AKA Kumi, Halie, Akina, Akira, Kina, and Star) were finished with the first exams. The one other person who was finished was Hinata. She's too smart so she didn't cheat, Star thought.

Finally, the long night had begun, Star walked home with her hoodie pulled over her head. She cropped pants clung to her legs and her zori were clicking the ground. She sighed as she needed comfort. She had seen her old best friend with a bloodied face and a blood stained shirt. Kaila had been attacked by a force she didn't know. This time Kaila would have completely died if she didn't get to a hospital and be treated as quickly as an eye could blink. She was gonna be in coma, she wouldn't and couldn't wake up. Star knew this to be the work of Mangekyo Sharingan, Itachi's specialty.

Star began to shiver but it wasn't from the cold. It was from fear that her older brother would come back. Star was mad and scared of his return. He had hurt her best friend and he had to pay for the destruction of her entire life. Star finally reached her apartment. She never lived in the Uchiha household after what happened six years ago.

When Star got inside, she pulled her zori off her feet and laid them by the door. She walked into her room and pulled her knees to her chest. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Of course no one could see them in the darkness. Star looked at her bed side. On a desk were three pictures. One picture had her, Sasuke and Roxy smiling and laughing. They were all four years old at the time. The second picture was a picture of Roxy and Star smiling, hands together, and they were giggling. They were six years old. The last picture was a picture of Gaara and Star. She had jumped on Gaara's back and they were laughing. Star had her legs across Gaara's stomach and her arms over his neck. They were seven years old that time. Gaara had just turned seven on that day.

Star stood up and walked to her bathroom. She had finished removing her hoodie and bra when she heard someone chuckle. "Gaara," Star whispered keeping her back to him and turning her head towards him. He wasn't there so she turned her head back to the front of her to see Gaara, arms crossed and a smirk on his face. He caressed her cheek and she turned hot pink then red.

Star then looked down at her chest. She had dropped her clothes and arms down by her sides. Gaara then pulled her into a deep passionate kiss. Star was surprised at first and deepened into the kiss. She wrapped her bare arms around Gaara's neck as he wrapped his arms around her waist. WOW, oh wow. I can't believe I'm having my first kiss without a shirt on and with a boy who is so effing handsome. Star thought as her chest pressed against his. After a few minutes of the greatest kiss of Star and Gaara's life, they broke apart.

"I…I… to…um…take…a…" Star started unable to find her voice. What's happening? I can't speak, Inner Star thought her anger rising. Star was mostly shy and sad but her inner self was as tough as a steak. "I have to take a shower, Gaara-kun," Star said finally able to find her voice. Gaara stood as solid as rock and looked at Star like he already knew that. He wants to take a shower…OMFG, Inner Star thought throwing her fist in the air. HELL YEAH!!!!! Inner Star thought yelling loud enough for Star's ears to hurt.

"Oh, why do you keep staring at me?" Star asked tracing Gaara's kanji. "Well, because…you are just so pretty and I think…well, I think you are the most sweetest girl I have ever met." Gaara replied. "Well, I'm not like the little girl I was before, remember, Gaara-sama?" Star asked walking into the bathroom and removing her cropped pants. She felt Gaara's eyes on her back and then up to her neck.

The next morning was the morning of the second exam. Star eagerly sat up from her black bed which had the Uchiha clan symbol at the bottom on the bed and on the comforter. Star got up and walked out to the bathroom. She pulled her hair into a ponytail after brushing it. Once she pulled it up she stopped. On her neck was a red mark. Yes, did you already forget Star? Inner Star said giggling her evil giggle. It was a hickey!! Star could have fainted from shock.

Still in shock, Star continued her morning routine. She walked into in closet and scanned it for good survival clothes. So no minis or anything like that. Star spotted her training shirt, which was a blood red shirt with fishnet at the top of it. She grabbed it and tossed it on her bed. She then found her favorite training pants, which were a pair of black spandex pants that were Capri style. She walked back into her bathroom and put them on. She then brushed her teeth and washed her face.

She pulled out her weapons drawer. "Hmm, let me see what can fit inside," Star said putting in seven scrolls, fifty kunais and shuriken in all (25 each), thirteen paper bombs, and four feet of ninja wire. She smiled as she put it on.

She put on her black chocker and bracelet Gaara gave her at seven. She grabbed her house key and put that in her pouch. She then put on her zori and put her head band around her neck. She rushed out the door locking it. She breathed in fresh air was ran towards the Forest of Death.
