Sanashii: Yeah...I edited this chap =.= The others are gonna be done too :D
Sakura groaned as she opened her eyes. She felt horrible. Puckering her mouth, she sprang up as she felt a wave of nausea over her.
"O-Oh! You are awake Sakura c-chan." She heard a soft familiar voice.
"Hinata chan? What are you doing here? Did something happen?" She asked turning to the Hyuga heiress.
The girl shook her head. " Y-You w-ere unconscious yesterday s-so I was s-scared." She explained.
Unconscious? Sakura felt her head start spinning. That mark on her forehead. What was it? She touched it. It was dreadfully warm. Withdrawing she gulped softly.
"I-It's not there." Hinata said.
Sakura turned to her, puzzled for a moment and then widened her eyes. "You saw it?" She asked, her voice loud.
Hinata nodded. "W-What was it?"
Sakura shook her head. "No idea." She whispered, her voice barely audible yet Hinata managed to make the words out.
"M-Maybe you shouldn't t-take the ch-chuunin exams." She said uncertainly.
"Chuunin exams?" Sakura asked. Suddenly she realized she had to meet up with the others today.
"I'm gonna be late!" She gasped jolting off the bed.
"S-Sakura chan! Be careful!" Hinata warned. On cue, a coughing fit waved over Sakura. Hinata gave her a glass of water which she took gladly and gulped it down.
"Thanks. Did you stay here all night?" She asked once calming down.
"I asked m-my father. He a-agreed." She said. Sakura smiled. "Thank you."
"B-But still. Will you b-be alright?" Hinata asked, deeply concerned.
"I'll be fine I suppose." She sighed looking into the mirror. Something wasn't right. What was it? Yes. Her pink dress. Suddenly, it felt awkward and revealing on her.
"Damn. What should I wear?" She growled ripping through her closet. Pink skirts, pink shorts, pink dresses..PINK EVERYTHING.
She sighed. She didn't mind pink, she LOVED the color but the clothes were all so revealing. 'I wonder if mother has one...' She thought running to her parent's bed room.
She stopped in surprise. The bed was made. No sign of her parents. It was then she realized she hadn't seen them all of yesterday as well. 'They'll be fine' She reasoned with herself. 'Probably meeting a relative'
She looked through her parent's old chest for any clothes she could wear. Her mother had told her not to look through it but this was an emergency after all.
Suddenly her finger hit rubbery material from within the objects of the chest. She grabbed it and brought out an outfit still in it's wrapper. Smiling, she took it off and lay it on the ground.
A sleeveless purple top which showed her abdomen and black pants reaching to her ankles or so it seemed. There was a symbol on the top's back she saw and flipping it over, she saw that same mark she had on her forehead.
Shock was what she felt now. This was driving her insane. She hadn't noticed Hinata standing in the doorway.
"A-Are you okay?" Her friend asked.
Snapping out of her trance, Sakura weakly nodded before stepping into the bathroom to change. Coming out, she had braided her hair, headband on her forehead.
Hinata smiled. "Y-You look pretty." Sakura smiled back. "Thank you."
"W-why did you wear a fishnet shirt underneath?" Hinata asked. The pink haired genin shrugged. "I felt like it." She murmured attaching her kunai pouch. "Ah! You better go too Hinata chan!"
Hinata nodded and left at quickly, Sakura locked the door behind her and ran off.
"GAAH! SAKURA CHAN IS LATE!" Naruto groaned, more like, YELLED.
Sasuke was also wondering why she was late. Not that he needed to know why. But if she was late, it'd be troublesome for him. 'Damn it.' He sighed.
"I'M SORRY!" Came the familiar voice. Sasuke turned warily. He saw that she changed her costume. Great. Probably meant she was planning to ask him on a date again.
"I'm so sorry! I wasn't feeling well and I slept in and...I'm sorry." She bowed.
Kakashi raised an eyebrow. When did his student suddenly become so...respectful? Sure she was polite but today she was way more.
"It's fine Sakura chan! Kakashi sensei is always late anyway. He was here for only 2 minutes." Naruto grinned while his teacher turned to glare at him for a split second.
Sakura bit her lip. "Oh, okay." She said.
"Come on already." Sasuke muttered. Sakura nodded cheerfully. Suddenly she noticed Naruto was eyeballing her.
"What?" She asked.
"YOU SHOULD DRESS LIKE THIS EVERYDAY SAKURA CHAN! YOU LOOK SO HOT!" He screamed, stars in his eyes.
Sakura grinned. "Thank you." She answered. Both Naruto and Kakashi fell over.
"Wow...Sakura chan...didn't hit me..." Naruto muttered.
"What happened...to my student?" Kakashi muttered.
Sakura raised an eyebrow. "Something wrong?" She asked. Sasuke at this point turned curiously. "Is that you or did you take the long last anti-anger pills today?" He asked meaning it as an insult. He expected Sakura to oogle him or try to hug him.
Instead, she glared at him. "I'M NOT THAT HOT TEMPERED YOU CHICKEN ASS HAIRED EMO!" She yelled.
Kakashi sat up, wide eyed. Naruto followed.
"What...did you call me?" Sasuke asked, his face displaying anger.
"CHICKEN ASS HAIR! CHICKEN ASS HAIR!" Sakura taunted.
"SHUT UP FOREHEAD!"
"NO YOU SHUT UP EMO!"
"I'm not emo you dumbass."
" WHATS WITH THAT HAIR THEN? AND THAT ANTI SOCIAL PERSONALITY!"
"ITS MY OWN SELF DAMMIT WHATS WRONG WITH YOU TODAY?"
"OKAY NOW I KNOW WHY YOU ARE ANTI SOCIAL WITH GIRLS, YOU ARE GAY! LOL!"
"I'M NOT GAY!"
"YEAH? YOU KISSED NARUTO REMEMBER? WE DON'T NEED ANYMORE PROOF!"
"THAT WAS NARUTO'S DOING! CALL HIM GAY!"
"WHY WOULD I! HE'S NICE UNLIKE YOU!"
"I DON'T NEED TO BE NICE! I HAVE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO!"
"LIKE WHAT? RAPING A DUCK?"
"YOU ARE SICK BILLBOARD! GO HOME!"
"IF I GO HOME THEN YOU CAN'T BECOME A CHUUUNIN! HAHAHAHAH!" Sakura laughed.
Kakashi decided this was enough. He stepped between the two. "Enough!" He ordered.
Sakura pouted and turned away. Sasuke growled and crossed his arms over his chest. This was annoying and was embarrassing. Uchiha Sasuke loosing his cool like that. He gritted his teeth.
'Then again,' he thought looking at her direction. 'Something isn't right.'
"What are you staring at duck face?" She asked.
"Nothing. I just thought that forehead of yours was a giant brick wall that appeared out of nowhere." Sasuke retorted.
Sakura stuck her tongue out. "Shut up emo duck!" She snapped.
"Real mature pinky!" He snapped back.
"I SAID ENOUGH! Jeez you two." Kakashi rubbed his temples.
Naruto grinned. "Am I the sensible one now?" He asked gleefully.
"No Naruto. You will always remain as the number one, hyperactive, knuckled headed ninja of konoha." Kakashi grinned. Naruto slumped. "Man."
"Go in guys. You are late already and...Sakura? Sakura?" Kakashi looked out.
"HEY EMO DUCK AND NARUTO! IF YOU'RE STAYING THERE, I'LL GO IN AND PASS THE EXAM MYSELF!" She yelled from inside the building.
"Shit! DAMN YOU PINKY!" Sasuke yelled running back in. Naruto walked after them slowly while Kakashi stared at them from behind and then raised his face to the sky.
"God, did you kill our Sakura and replace her?" He asked. Silence.
"Okay then. She's the same old Sakura." He shrugged. 'But then, what the hell happened to her? And her fangirl antics?'
"You are so damn annoying Sakura." Sasuke muttered.
"Gee I love you too." Sakura rolled her eyes. Naruto tugged at her arm. "You okay Sakura?" He asked.
"DUH! I'M ALWAYS OKAY!" She yelled.
Naruto looked at her. "Yeah but...you're not going crazy over Sasuke." He said.
Sakura looked thoughtful. "That's right isn't it..." She muttered. Naruto and Sasuke sweatdropped.
"You just realized it?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah..." Sakura said awkwardly. "NO MATTER! I must have finally gotten anti emo duck vaccine while I was asleep!"
Naruto burst into laughter. "ANTI EMO DUCK! YOU HEAR THAT SASUKE! HAHAHAAHAH!" Sakura joined in while Sasuke sweatdropped.
"I just wanna turn invisible..." He muttered.
"Hey, what's with that crowd?" Sakura suddenly noticed. The three walked over to them.
"Whats going on?" Naruto asked someone.
"We are here for the written part of the exams but this guy won't let us in!" The guy answered, looking really annoyed.
Sakura looked up at the door number. "301 alright...wait a minute." She squinted. Suddenly it was a different number. 201. She was seeing through a genjutsu!
"WHAT IS THIS SOME SICK JOKE?" Sakura yelled making everyone turn to her.
"What is?" One of the guys in front of the door asked.
"WE CAME TO DO THE CHUUNIN EXAMS NOT TO PLAY WITH SOME STUPID GENJUTSU!" She yelled. The two guys looked at each other.
"What is a genjutsu you moron?" One kid asked. "This is where we have to do the exam!"
"No its not dumbo! It's a genjutsu!" She answered back.
"She's right. We can see right through it. You guys are pretty lame. You could have done better you know." Sasuke agreed smirking.
Naruto looked dumbfounded but nodded his head. "YEAH!" He yelled.
The two sighed and releasing the genjutsu making others gasp out in surprise.
"Heh." Sakura grinned rubbing her nose.
"Don't get too smart woman." Sasuke muttered.
"SHUT UP RETARD!" She growled.
"You two." Came a voice. The two turned to see a coffee color long haired guy with white eyes.
"A Hyuga?' Sakura asked in a bored tone. Naruto looked at her. "You sure know a lot today Sakura Chan." He grinned.
Sakura grinned back but inside, she was worried. What the hell was wrong with her?
"Me?" Sakura asked facing the Hyuga.
"What's your name?" He asked looking at them.
"OH ME? I AM UZUMAKI NARUTO THE FUTURE-" Naruto blurted out but the guy raised a hand. "No. The other two." He muttered and at this, Naruto glared at him.
Sasuke glared at the guy. "Uchiha Sasuke." He said in his way.
Sakura rolled her eyes and placed her hands behind her head. "Geez. Real social you are chicken butt." Then she turned to the guy. "I'm Haruno Sakura! Nice to meet you!" She said.
The guy did not smile back. '' Hyuga Neji." He said. "How did you know it was a genjutsu?"
Sakura shrugged. She didn't know it herself and was totally freaked by how she felt today.
Neji narrowed his eyes and opened her mouth to say something but was brushed aside by a boy clad in a horrible one piece green suit who rushed up to Sakura.
"WHAT IS YOUR NAME OH BEAUTIFUL LOTUS?" He yelled so loud Sakura was sure her ears were calloused.
"Erm...S-Sakura." She managed so say while slowly backing away.
The guy started dancing. "THE NAME PERFECTLY SUITS YOU! YOU ARE CERTAINLY A BEAUTIFUL LOTUS IN BLOOM! NO! WAY MORE BEAUTIFUL EVEN THE LOTUS WOULD BE SHAMED!" He then took a taijutsu pose.
"BE MY GIRLFRIEND AND I SHALL PROTECT YOU!" He said. Sakura swore, she actually saw his teeth sparkle. TEETH sparkle.
Sweatdropping, she smiled. "No thanks. I er..."
"I KNEW IT!" He said glaring at Sasuke. "IT IS HIM IS HE NOT?"
Sakura sighed. "NO." She said to both Naruto's and Sasuke's surprise. "I don't like anyone dammit! Now shoo! Shoo!" She said.
The guy sighed as leaned against the wall, depressed. "No...it can't be...you really...do like him."
"I said I didn't..." She muttered. "Why would I like a chicken ass hair?"
'YOU'RE LOOKING FOR TROUBLE PINKY!"
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME DUCK FACE?"
"STUPID FEMALE!"
"IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO EMO FREAK!"
"NO IT ISN'T! IF I DO MORE YOU'LL START CRYING LIKE A BABY!"
"NO I WON'T YOU EMO FREAK!"
"DON'T YOU HAVE BETTER THINKS TO SAY?"
"SO YOU WANT ME TO CALL YOU AN EMO PIRATE IS THAT IT!"
Neji looked at Naruto. ''Are they always like this?" He asked. Naruto sweatdropped. They just started this morning but he had a feeling they were going to continue it all their lives.
"Yes. Yes they do." he grinned and then dragged his friend...*cough* and his crush away while Lee stared after them.
"I hate you Sakura. I am really starting to hate you." Sasuke growled, still upset.
"Eh? Baby ducky got a boo boo? Aww...I'm no sad at all." She muttered.
"Just what is with you today?" He asked.
Sakura wasn't sure herself. But one thing she knew, she was enjoying being this new self.
"A blond boy with lines across his cheeks and a stupid duck." She answered.
Sasuke twitched while Naruto laughed. "MAN SAKURA CHAN I GOTTA HAND IT TO YA! I LIKE THIS NEW YOU WAY BETTER!" He admitted. Sakura stuck her tongue out at Sasuke who was now really angry.
"YOU BETTER RUN HARUNO!" He yelled running after her.
"HELP! HELP! SOMEBODY HELP! THERE'S A CRAZY RAPIST ON THE LOOSE!" She screamed as loud as she could.
"STOP THAT DAMMIT!" Sasuke yelled.
Naruto, now laughing so hard tears had gathered in his eyes, watched the two run around. For the first time he knew ever since he knew Sakura and Sasuke, Sakura could yell at her crush and Sasuke could get this mad.
"Stop bullying my flower!" Came that voice. The two stopped their fight and turned to face that guy.
"IT IS I, KONOHA'S GREEN BEAST, ROCK LEE!" He yelled.
"Yeah you do look like it...what did you eat this morning?" Sakura muttered.
"O MY BEAUTIFUL FLOWER! I SHALL NOT GIVE UP ON YOU!" With this, he send flying hearts towards her.
"YIKES!" She screamed dodging all of them in the process, falling backward and hitting her head.
Sasuke smirked. "Aww look. Haruno got her stupid pretty head a big bump." He taunted.
"Shut your mouth before I shut it myself and trust me it won't be enjoyable." She growled.
"UCHIHA SASUKE! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A FIGHT!" Lee yelled.
Sasuke stepped in front.
"IDIOT! ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE US LATE OR SOMETHING?" She screamed. Sasuke glared at Lee. "I don't back down on challenges." he said.
"Geez." Sakura rubbed her temples as the two started to fight. Naruto looked at Sakura. "You know it almost looks like they both are fighting over you." He said.
"Ha, ha Naruto. Duck butt fighting over me? Worst news I heard since the day I was born." She said sarcastically.
"Really. Lee is fighting for you! And Sasuke accepted the challenge which means..." Naruto stopped. "NOOOOOOO! SASUKE YOU EVIL JERK! YOU ARE TYING TO STEAL AWAY SAKURA!" he yelled.
Sasuke who was suspended in air looked down and wondered why the little dobe was yelling like a madman.
Sakura was pointing towards something. It took him only a second to realize she was pointing at where Lee was. However, he was beaten and started falling.
Expecting a sharp blow of pain, he shut his eyes only to fall on...a cushion? No? Something else.
"Oww...you every single bone in my body." Came that voice. He then realized he fell on Sakura...or did she purposely save his fall?
"Next time, I won't break your fall duck face." She groaned rubbing her arm. Sasuke smirked. "Thanks...pinky." He said.
"You wanna dies still?" She asked menacingly.
"Try it." Sasuke smirked. He realized it was actually fun to tease and get angry now. Besides, those nicknames were quite catchy...
"Let's go.." Sakura muttered dragging them out quickly. "I see a turtle."
They came in front of a door where they saw Kakashi again.
"Well kids, I can say I'm impressed you managed to get past the genjutsu. But seriously you two," He looked at Sasuke and Sakura. "You both were like rivals, fighting like babies."
"IT WAS ALL HIM!" Sakura pointed.
"WHAT THE HELL PINKY!" Sasuke yelled.
"Now, now." Kakashi sighed sweatdropping. 'I wonder how this happened.' He thought. "First is the written part of the exam. Wish you good luck."
The three entered. "Wow..." Sakura muttered. "Are you sure they are all genin?"Even 16 year olds were there.
Suddenly, Ino pounced on Sasuke. "SASUKE KUUN~!" She squealed.
Sakura burst out laughing. "DUCK BUTT IS BEING RAPED BY A PIG!"
Ino glared at her. "What's with you?" She asked.
"Now? Well, a blond boy, a duck butt haired guy, a pig.." She looked behind Ino. "A cloud watcher, an all day eater, a Hyuga, a half dog person and a bug creep." She answered.
"What's with all the nicknames?" Kiba asked coming behind her. Hinata hugged Sakura. "I-I'm so glad y-your okay!" She said.
"Easy Hinata. I'm okay see!" She grinned. ''Haruno Sakura is always ready to kill pigs!"
Ino growled. 'WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?" She yelled. She hugged Sasuke's arm. "Sasu beeeeear~~ is miiiine~" She sighed while Sasuke tried to free his poor arm.
"Sasu bear? It doesn't fit at all." Sakura shook her head. "I have a better, a cooler name." Ino looked at her. "yeah?"
"Sasu GAY!" She then bent over laughing. Kiba and Naruto cracked up too.
"Gotta hand it to ya Naruto, how did you get her to stop liking him?" Kiba asked.
Naruto raised his hand. "Not me. She has been like this since morning." He muttered.
Kiba whistled. "Nice. She actually looks more fun and carefree now."
Naruto grinned. "Yep!" He said.
Sakura then narrowed her eyes as she sensed threat approaching. She turned to face a white haired guy wearing glasses. "
"Hi there. I am Kabuto." He said. "You here for the chuunin exams?"
Sakura glared. "Isn't it obvious?" She asked. Sasuke raised an eyebrow before shaking himself free from Ino. "Now who's being anti social?" He asked.
"Hush up Sasuke! I have a feeling this guy is bad news!" She whispered in an urgently low voice.
Sasuke looked confused but even he, somehow felt wary of this guy. Naruto however warmed up to him. "YO! UZUMAKI NARUTO HERE!" He yelled.
"I know." Kabuto said.
"WOW! IM FAMOUS!" Naruto yelled. Kabuto did a small chuckle. "Actually, I do research on most genins." he passed out small cards. "See when you focus your chakra into them, their information appears." He demonstrated.
Everyone seemed impressed except Sakura who rolled her eyes. "Show off." She muttered.
Suddenly, these three guys (and one girl) rushed forward to attack. Sakura didn't exactly know what happened but she knew she hit one of them hard in their gut which sent him tumbling back. The next moment, Kabuto was puking all over the floor.
Sakura rubbed her ears. She couldn't hear everything properly. "Who are these guys?" She asked no one in particular.
"ALRIGHT EVERYONE SIT DOWN!" A thunderous voice ordered. Everyone turned to see a man clad in black, heavy scars on his face.
"DO YOU WANT TO FAIL BEFORE YOU EVEN START?" He yelled.
"Sorry..it was..out first time." One guy said. "First time of what?" Sakura grouched. "Getting out of your tomb in the deserts? You forgot to take that mummy wrap off."
The guy glared back in response.
"SHUT UP AND TAKE YOUR SEATS!" He ordered. When everyone did, he did a small chuckle. "I AM IBIKI...YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE!" He yelled.
Sakura just smiled. "Bring it on." She said.
