Sorry this chapter is mostly dialogue. It's mostly a continuation of the last chapter. It introduces the last member of team fourteen, the sensei. And explains a bit more of Keiko's relationship with Shikamaru (I will get to the other's relationships with their siblings). Really the first two chapters are just introducing all the ocs before moving on to the chunin exams. Sorry.

"Where is our senesi?" Naruto whined. God would he just shut up? I was in a good mood after takin' a nap with my big brother, but he was really testin' my patience.

"Naruto shut up. Our sensei is just as late as yours." I growled puttin' my feet up on the desk and pushin' my chair back on its back two legs.

"You shut up Nara!" Naruto shouted. I rolled my eye.

"Whatever Uzamaki." I grumbled foldin' my hands over my stomach and closin' my eyes.

"Hey, why are you talking more to Naruto than your own team?" Eiri asked.

"We were tellin' each other to shut up I can hardly call that a conversation." I answered.

"I don't quite think that's what he meant." The girl from earlier, Mizu Aburame, said dryly.

"Whatever. If ya'll wanna talk, talk. I'll be listenin'." I replied.

"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. You must be Keiko. The Nara with an attitude." A voice from the window said. I opened my eyes and turned my head to see a guy with wicked long light blue hair pulled back into a ponytail. He wore sunglasses blockin' his eyes, a jounin vest with the metal part of a headband stitched to the front pocket, baggy dark blue pants, and boots.

"Yeah. What's it to ya'?" I questioned. My family name had nothing to do with who I was. Well it did, but only a small, miniscule, bit.

"I'm your sensei Ryo. And I won't take attitudes from my students." The guy said standin'. He then caught sight of team seven. "Ah you must be Kakashi's new students. Man do I fell sorry for you kids. He's a tough old geezer. I'm sure you'll make it through though." He was quick to assure them. I rolled my eyes. Already I didn't like this guy. He was too wishy-washy. He turned back to window. "Nara. Aburame. Eiri. Let's go." He called over his shoulder before jumppin' out the window. Mizu sighed and followed him.

"They're not serious are they?" Eiri asked me.

"What are you, a chicken? A ninja must be willin' ta' do anythin' for his village." I informed him standin' up.

"Excuse me?" He demanded as I headed for the window.

"You're excused." I said cheerfully.

"I'm not a chicken!" He shouted. I smirked. God how stupid was he? He'd played right into my hands. I mean it wasn't like I had a problem with jumppin' out a window I just had a problem followin' weirdo Ryo and emotionless Mizu.

"Alright prove it. Jump out the window." I told him brightly. With a scowl Eiri pushed past me and jumped out the window. I was about to follow him when a voice stopped me.

"You're a very manipulative twelve year old." Sasuke commented.

I rolled my eyes, but I had a solid defense against this. "No, I'm a Nara woman. We're known for being troublesome." I replied. Ah yes the "T" word. That seemed to be Shikamaru's callin' card though I doubted he would mind that I had borrowed it. After flashin' team seven a grin I jumped out the window after my…. Team. That word didn't sit right with me for some reason. Probably because I usually just did my own thing. The only "team" I had ever been a part of was the one where Shikamaru and I were always together.

"Who's the chicken now?" Eiri asked me as I joined them. I rolled my eyes, but decided it was safer just not to answer.

"Alright you three sit. The first thing I want us to do is talk." Ryo order us. I rolled my eyes, but plopped down cross-legged leanin' against the wall behind me. Mizu remained standin', but she too leaned against the wall. Eiri sat down leanin' back with his hands slightly behind him and his legs outstretched. Ryo sighed as he realized this was the best he was going to get. "Alright you lot. I want to know what your dreams for the future are." He told us. Really? Well I was probably goin' to disappoint him, but by this point in my life I was use to disappointin' people.

"I want to be the one everyone goes to when they need a weapon. I want to be the most well versed person in weapons in the whole village. Well except for my sister." Eiri announced his whole face lightin' up like a freakin' sun on Earth when he said this. Moron. Did he really think he could accomplish somethin' like that?

"What about you two?" Ryo prodded when no answer came from either Mizu or myself. There was a long silence that enfolded us.

"I wanna be Kohana's best Anbu ninja." Mizu finally said. Pish whatever. I didn't think she cared. Then again it was impossible to tell what she was feelin'.

"And you Keiko?" Ryo inquired.

"Why have ambitions when you're tryin' not to out shine your big brother? Why have dreams when they have no chance of comin' true?" I countered, but I didn't give anyone a chance to reply. "But hey if we are talkin' 'bout dreams that we know for a fact will come true here, my dream is that my older brother will realize he's the best ninja in the entire village." I announced crossin' my arms.

Eiri seemed taken aback, Mizu didn't seemed phased (who's surprised there?), and Ryo looked like he was tryin' to process what I had just told them all. "If you're basing that assumption on how smart everyone thinks your brother is you must realize he isn't the smartest in the village." Ryo informed me, slowly as if he thought I might explode (or implode) upon hearin' this.

"Oh I know. Daddy's smarter than Shikamaru is, but he's getting' old shikamarus' goin' ta' take his place as the village's best ninja and no one's gonna stop 'im." I said.

"And if someone were to try?" I was asked.

"Then I would have to stop them." I answered simply.

"It's all about Nara pride with you isn't it?" Mizu demanded. Oooh finally she was showing some real emotions.

"No. Everythin' I do is for my big brother. Family's important to me, but Mom and Dad are mostly busy so Shikamaru's the one who's been tasked with lookin' after me most of my life. Because of that he is the one person who I will support without question. He is there for me. I'm there for him." I answered.

"Even though he's supposedly really overprotective?" Eiri wondered.

"It gets on my nerves, but yeah. He's my brother."
