Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto! I donno why but I am obsessed with the chunien exams! Almost all of my stories and ideas how some aspect of them in them. In this story Sakura already trained with Lady Tsunade, but Tsunade is not hokage yet. All matches are the same they are just out of order. Sakura didn't show her true powers in her match against Ino because she didn't want to hurt her friend.

Chapter One:

Shino stood alongside Kiba at the top of the balcony and watched as their teammate battled Neji during the second stage of the exams. Hinata was his teammate he didn't want her to get hurt but he wasn't about to jump in like Kiba and Naruto. Speaking of Naruto, the person standing beside him was probably the only person who sparked his interest, but of course he would never say anything. Sakura Haruno, the pink haired kunoichi, the person who plagued his dreams for quite some time now. Shino was so preoccupied with his thoughts he hadn't noticed three sensei's stepped in as Hinata fell to the ground. Naruto was at her side in a second, as Hinata coughed Kurini rushed to her as she called to get some medics. At this point Sakura had come down to the arena. Shino was shocked, he hadn't even seen her move. She waved off the medics, Kurini glared at her like she was insane. Sakura tied up her hair as she knelt down to Hinata, she placed her ear to Hinata's chest as she coughed again. Sakura's eyes went wide,

"She's going into cardiac arrest, if you move her now her lungs will collapse. "

She said flatly. The medics stood beside her, mouths open,

"How could she know all that without an examination?"

One of them whispered. With that Shino smiled, not that anyone could see, but apparently not everyone knew that Sakura trained with Lady Tsunade. Sakura's hand glowed green, she placed it down gently on Hinata's wounded chest. Hinata hissed in pain.

"Relax Hinata this will take a while."

Hinata only looked at her and closed her eyes, about fifteen minutes later Sakura's hand stopped glowing,

"She should be stable enough to move now but you must be quick about it."

She exclaimed to the medics as she stood up. The nodded and took Hinata away. Sakura turned to walk away when she heard a chuckle come from behind her. She turned only to find Neji laughing. Naruto got pissed,

"What the hell is so funny?"

Neji simply stared at Sakura and exclaimed,

"Do you really think you helped her? You just prolonged her suffering, those blows were designed to kill, she will not survive."

Sakura simply smiled at him and answered,

"Well it's a good thing that I already knew that…"

As she turned to walk away. Neji was not the person you turn your back on. He ran at Sakura, about to strike. Shino gripped the balcony bar and was about to rush in when Kakashi grabbed Neji and threw him to the ground in front of Gui.

"That's enough Neji!"

Gui exclaimed. With that Shino relaxed. Kiba noticed this out of the corner of his eye and was about to question it but decided not to. Sakura walked back up the stairs to where she was standing before. She walked past Shino and Kiba, as she did Shino's face turned a slight shade of pink, he followed her with his eyes, the parts of his eyes which were visible Kiba noticed were staring at her. Kiba looked back and forth between Shino and Sakura,

"Whoa…you serious?"

Kiba laughed, Shino just stared at him, confused,

"You like Sakura?"

Shino's face got darker, Kiba laughed,

"No way! Hey Sakura!"

He called to the pinkette. She turned just in time to see Shino throw Kiba over the balcony. She looked at Shino, a confused look on her face. Shino gulped as he stepped closer to the girl. He looked at her, getting lost in her eyes, he cleared his throat about to say something when Kurini exclaimed,

"He just wanted to say thank you…for helping Hinata."

She smiled sweetly up at her,

"No problem…I just hope she gets to the ward soon. There was only so much I could do without supplies."

Shino was about to say something else when Kiba angrily climbed to the top of the stairs. Shino simply smirked at the boy as he flopped against the wall. Sakura looked at Kiba and couldn't help but laugh. He had a huge welt on his head. Akumaru licked it. Sakura shook her head as she walked over to him,

"Come here."

Sakura smiled as she flowed her chakra into her hand again and placed it on Kiba's head. He sighed as the pain subsided. He smirked at Shino while Sakura wasn't paying attention he took Sakura's hand in his and exclaimed,

"Thank you so much Sakura! You are amazing!"

As he hugged her tightly. She laughed slightly as she blushed,

"uhhh…thanks Kiba."

He smirked up at Shino as he tightened his grip on her, he turned his head to the side of her face and pecked a kiss to her cheek. Shino got pissed, he was going to kill him. Sakura cleared her throat,

"Ah…well ok…your heads fine…"

She pulled away from him. He frowned as she did, Shino just smiled, he knew that she didn't like him like that. Matter of fact he couldn't recall he liking anyone (not even Sasuke) he smiled knowing that he had a chance with her.

Akumaru yelped in happiness as he jumped at Sakura. She smiled as he licked her face, she picked him up and sat with him towards the front of the balcony and watched as the next two names flashed on the board, Shino and Zaku. She looked back at Shino with a worried expression,

"please be careful, although his arms seem broken he still has chakra in them…"

Shino was shocked. She was concerned for him, for his safety. He nodded at her as he walked slowly down to the arena floor with a huge smile on his face…she cared.

Sakura sat with Akumaru and watched Shino's match. Kiba smiled down at his puppy in the girls lap and shook his head slightly. He turned his attention back to the match, the match was over extremely quick due to Sakura's advice. He looked up at her, and nodded his head in her direction. She smiled at him and returned his nod.

The hokage explained to everyone what was to happen during the next stage of the exam. Everyone was sent away to train. Sakura stood up and placed Akumaru in Kiba's arms and said her good byes. She turned and was about to walk away when she saw Shino walk up the stairs. They simply looked at each other. She smiled at him and nodded,

"Good job Shino!"

He nodded at her,

"Thank you Sakura."

She nodded and started to walk away. She was ambushed by Naruto and his hug which nearly tackled her to the ground. She grumbled as she punched him in the face. Shino smirked under his collar, he loved her temper.
