Lost, Now Found

This is a new story I will be writing. The story will start near the Chunnin Exams.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto. Sadly..

Claimer: I DO own the village in darkness (I think no one used it. No clue.) and I own the team.

Chapter 1

"One more week 'till the Chunnin Exams! Isn't that great, Aoi-chan?" asked a maroon-haired boy with hazel-brown eyes.

I opened one eye revealing a sky blue pupil. "I guess. Fuji."

"Great enthusiasm Aoi-sama." A blue-haired boy said sarcastically.

"Don't ruin it Horoko."

I opened my other eye revealing a lime-green pupil. My blonde, spiky hair in a ponytail blew north towards my sensei, Yumi. Yumi had pitch black hair and glowing red eyes. (almost like Kurenai.)

"Knock it off. Here are the forms. We will be leaving tomorrow at dawn for Konoha. Good luck!"

With that said, she disappeared in a blink of an eye. "I'm leaving too. Jan ne."

"Sore dewa!" Fuji waved.

"Ma ne."

I turned around and headed to my apartment. I started pondering what might the exams be like. 'Would there be people of high skill like me?'

I arrived a small building on the far side of town and walked in. I walked up the stairs to the second floor and entered the closest door on my left. The apartment had a bedroom and a living room. The kitchen was connected to the living room. I headed to my room to be stopped by a horrible memory.

Flashback

"Aisheteru okaa-san…!" a little girl screamed.

"Aisheteru…my aoi tori.." said a woman laying in a pool of blood.

"WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS!?"

"You lied. That's what you did. You lied to your whole family." A man with long hair hissed.

"NO I DIDN'T!"

"Yes, you did. You lied just so you could save yourself and not your whole clan."

There was a silence until…

"AAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

End of Flashback

I lifted my hand to the back of my neck. I shivered at the touch of the seal. 'I never lie…'

"Early as usual aren't we. Aoi?" my sensei asked.

"I'm used to it. There really is no point in sleeping. You could get attacked at any time." I told Yumi-sensei remembering the horrible sight.

"Heh knew you'd say that."

I turned away from her and saw the guys coming. They were brothers after all. Just, not close. I mean, scratch that, they weren't close at all. The only things in common between them are that they share the same last name, parents, and they both like me. You probably don't believe me on that last part but it's true. Like I said, I never lie. I looked over to Fuji and saw that he had a scowl on his face. Wonder what Horoko did this time. Once Fuji spotted me, his face turned from a scowl to a grin, waving anxiously at me. I weakly waved back, hoping it would cheer him up. "Hey!" Fuji's grin grew.

"Ohayo gozaimase!"

"Ohayo." Horoko greeted plainly.

"And I had enthusiasm?" I joked.

"Stuff it." He threatened.

"C'mon team! Let's get a move on!" Yumi said trying to stop the fight.

I inhaled and exhaled then turned my back to Horoko. "Yumi-sensei is right. Let's go."

"Glad you see it my way for once! Wish you could always do that." Yumi whispered the last part to herself.

"I have sensitive ears, sensei. Thought you'd learn that by now."

"Must've slipped my mind."

A day passed and we were in a good distance of the village. "Ok, we're almost there. When we do, I have to go back. From then on, you're on your own."

"Why?"

"It's part of the rules. I might see you again later on."

My team nodded and we continued to walk until we reached the gates. "Please show us your pass or certificate."

We held up our passes and entered. "Well, this is your destination! Good luck! Sore dewa."

She poofed away and the first thing said was, "She'll be back."

"C'mon, let's walk around the village."

"'k." they answered.

We ventured around the town until we came upon a few people. "What did you say!?" asked a pink-haired kunoichi with venom dropping from every word.

"I-I-I--.. AH!!" suddenly, the little boy with brown hair and green goggles started running for his life away from the girl.

"Sakura-chan! Stop! Don't hurt Konohamaru!" yelled a scared blonde-haired boy with a headband at his forehead.

Just then, the Konohamaru-kid bumped into a boy with something wrapped up on his back. He turned around with an annoyed face. He had purple marks on his face. "I hate little kids like you."

He grabbed Konohamaru by the collar. "Kankuro, stop it! Not before the Chunnin exams!"

He ignored the girl's comment and pulled back his hand. I was ready to charge at him until a pebble was thrown at his hand making him drop the boy. Konohamaru ran to the blonde's side. "Who threw that?"

"I did."

Everyone's head turned to the tree on our right and there stood a raven-haired boy with onyx eyes. He was throwing a pebble up and down in his hand. "SASUKE-KUN, YOU CAME!" admired the pink kunoichi.

Then, the little girl and the other boy followed her suite and went drooley eye for him. I rolled my eyes at the scene. I started to walk past them when Kankuro pulled his hand over to the mummy-looking thing on his back. "Not now Kankuro."

By the sound of her voice I knew he wasn't suppose to use it at that point so I tapped him on the shoulder. "What?"

I flicked him on the forehead and he flew backwards toward the tree Sasuke was in. "Listen to your sis for once."

"Why you-"

"Kankuro, stop, you're a disgrace to the Sand Village already." A boy with red hair and teal-colored eyes ordered. He was upside down on a tree branch.

The others were just staring wide-eyed at me, even Sasuke. I ignored them and started to walk off. "Hey, you, the one with blonde hair."

"Who, me?" asked the girl standing next to me.

"No."

"What do you want."

"What's your name?"

"You'll find out in the Chunnin exams."

"What? What are the Chunnin exams?" asked the blonde boy.

"I will leave it up to you guys to explain. Ma ne." I turned my back to them and waved.

'What a mysterious girl..' Sasuke and Gaara thought.

What do you think? Like it? I hope you do. If there are anything I could do to make this story better, tell. I wanna know. JUST NO FLAMES. I'm sensitive about flames.
