Authors Note:Okay,to avoid any confusion,I,being the kind caring and...okay,whatever,Ive changed around the characters and teams a bit because I hate Sakura (Just my opinion so nobody get on my case about that)and I needed the story to work around my character so the teams are a bit uneven.Anyhoo,heres a list of the teams...Team one:Ino,Kiba,Neji...Team two: Ayame, Sasuke, Naruto...Team three:Tenten,Rock Lee,Hinata...Team four:Shino,Sakura,Chouji...Team Five:Ikiru and Shikamaru (not enough for three on this team)Well,have fun reading!Hope ya like it...

Ikiru woke up early the first morning of the chuunin exams.As usual,she dressed in her mesh shirt under another regular off the shoulder t shirt and baggy pants with a mesh covering.She ran a brush through her brunette hair and red streaks then grabbed a rice cake on her way out.

"IKIRU!"

Ikiru turned at the voice of her roommate,Ayame.She was stumbling out the door,pulling on her shoes with her wolf,Avanger,running by her side.barely catching up,Ayame placed a hand on Ikiru's shoulder to steady herself.

"let me guess"Ikiru said"You slept in again?"

Ayame began to walk beside her and folded her arms over her chest."Oh,shut up.You were supposed to wake me!I could have missed the exams!"

Ikiru rolled her eyes."what a shame that would be."

They walked in silence for a while until Ayame saw her team,Naruto and Sasuke,up ahead."Ill see you inside Ikiru!"Ayame said and then started off.She stopped abruptly as her pocket began to shake."Oh!I forgot!"Ayame turned around and opened her nin-pocket and removed a round fur-ball."What is it?"Ikiru asked."Its a present!I bought her yesterday!I thought I would get you a good luck gift for the exams."

Ikiru took it in her hands and looked the dog over.It had silky black fur and barked when she held it."Well,what am I supposed to do with it during the test?"

Ayame pulled a piece of paper from her left pocket and held it to see."This pup is a certified nin-dog!Im sure she'll be okay"

The dog jumped from her hands into her shirt where it rested with its head against her collar."hey..."

"So,"Ayame interrupted"what will you name her?"

Ikiru looked at the sky in thought for a moment."How about Kimori?For shadow."

"Ayame-san!"Naruto shouted."hurry up!"

"Sounds awesome"Ayame said then waved before starting off toward her group."See you later!"

"see you"Ikiru muttered and looked down at the dog."certified nin-dog huh?"She said then began walkinging to meet up with her group."We'll see."

Shikamaru was waiting outside the building for her.He sat up from his cloud-gazing."Its about time."He said"your always late.how-"

"troublesome."Ikiru interrupted."I know."

"What's that in your shirt?"He asked

Ikiru looked at Kimori who was asleep again."Nothing.Let's go"

Shikamaru followed into the building behind her and they walked the long halls.Ikiru stared at the ceiling in thought.Would the chuunin exams be hard?Surely.But with her jutsu it should be no problem at all.Of course,scince the teams were uneven,thanks to Ayame,Shikamaru and her were on a two man team.It was a serious disadvantage,but they made up for it by placing the number one stategist with Ikiru,who was pretty good on the field as well with written tests.

They stopped on the floor infront of room 301.Apparently,so did many other people.There was a large group surrounding the door.She heard grunts and the clash of metal ahead,like a fight.Ikiru pushed her way ahead and saw two guys blocking the doorway.Squad number three's Rock Lee and Tenten were on the floor infront of her.

'I dont have time for this crap'Ikiru thought and stood an arms length infront of the guys."What the hell is your problem?"

"whats wrong?We're just thinning out those who will fail anyway."he stated."Anyway,theres no way you are getting through"

"Good luck with that.If none of these genin can figure out this crappy jutsu,then maybe they dont deserve to be chuunin"She made her way back through the crowd to Shikamaru and Chouji.

"How troublesome."He said."A complete waste of time"

"Idiots"Ikiru shook her head."We only walked up one flight of stairs.Therefore this must be the second floor.What a crappy use of genjutsu"

The small group finished the next flight of stairs and stood in front of the real room 301."are you ready for this?"Shikamaru asked and began to open the door.

"definately"Ikiru said defiantly.
