Two: Written Exam

After about an hour Ino emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel before walking into the bedroom across the hall, "babe where did you move my cloths?" she called out from the room only to turn to see Tonbo standing behind her holding them. She smiled softly "thank you love" she smiled leaning up and kissing him softly. He chuckled softly before walking out of the room and closing the door partly, he would never be able to leave and make it to the exams on time if he had stayed in the room while she was getting dressed. Tonbo was a master at self control, but he was still a man none the less. "I made some food but it might be a bit cold by now, didn't expect you to hog my shower," he chuckled, "but you'll have to eat quick or we'll be late…the exams start in 20 minutes" Ino quickly opened the door, "20 minutes?! Why didn't you tell me to get out?" she questioned as she moved towards the kitchen putting her hair up, "uh because I value my life enough to not disturb you during a shower."

She couldn't help but laugh as she shook her head quickly grabbing the bowl of rice off the counter before taking a bite, "and that's why I love you" she smiled happily as she took a bite of the rice, she looked over at him, knowing he had something on his mind that he wanted to say but was having a hard time coming up with a way to say it, she blinked swallowing the rice, "what is it?" she questioned before he turned to her, "eh not the time to ask" he smiled looking over at her. She blinked looking over at him with confusion, about to continue to prod him to figure out what he was talking about when the door swung open, "Hey Tonbo exams about to start, get off your ass…" he stopped as he saw Ino, a bright smile on his face, "hey Yamanaka…wasn't expecting to see you here…" he smiled walking inside. "What do you want Mozuku?" Tonbo questioned, a slight hint of animosity to his tone, "Ibiki told me to come get you, said you might be preoccupied" he smirked and motioned towards Ino.

She shook her head finishing up her rice before placing the bowl in the sink, "well lets get this over with" she smiled up at Tonbo before making her way out the door. Mozuku smirked turning to Tonbo, "you hitting that?" he questioned in a soft whisper, "shut up" was all Tonbo said as he moved from his apartment, "well if you don't I will" Mozuku spoke softly from behind him only to have Tonbo shoot around glaring at him, "you touch her and I will kill you" he spoke in a serious tone before continuing on his way catching up to Ino. "what the hell?" Mozuku questioned to himself before following along the pair. Ino smiled not looking over at Tonbo, "that was a bit much hum?" she questioned only to have him shake his head, "not enough" he smiled only to hear her laugh. Not many people knew about their relationship and they wanted to keep it that way for now. Ever since her father passed Ibiki had become more of a father figure for her, and he was not going to be easy to "give her up" so to speak. As well as they were both not ready to listen to everyone at work, so for the moment it was for the best.

As they entered the class room they all stood along the side wall as Ibiki started talking to everyone explaining what they had to do, Mozuku nudged Ino, "so Tonbo huh?" she blinked lightly, "so what if I was?" she questioned just as Ibiki shot them a death glare, causing Ino to smile brightly up at him before she moved to take a seat. Mozuku tried to sit next to her only to be pushed away by Tonbo, Ino laughed softly as Tonbo sat on one side of her, the other side was Kotetsu. Ino leaned over to him, "thank you" which he nodded and added, "I'm slightly less annoying than him huh?" "Just slightly" Ino smiled happily as the genin filled the room. Ibiki cleared his throat and started his lecture, the kids all looked completely terrified of the scarred faced ninja. Ino couldn't help but laugh at their expressions. As Ibiki motioned over towards them and explained what they were there for, to catch them cheating, "five times and you're gone, you and your entire team" everyone mumbled looking over at their teammates, Kotetsu chuckled, "I've got my eye on you" which caused even more murmurs through out the kids. Ino shook her head as she leaned back in the chair. Tonbo smiled, this was her first time going through this stage, "this is the fun one" he smiled leaning next to her, "oh I can imagine, scaring people seems to be your strong suit" she smiled over at him, "yours too" he smiled before turning back to the room.A few moments later the exam began.

After about 10 minutes Kotetsu through a kunai landing on an exam of one of the students, "5 strikes and you're out, you just failed the test, you and your teammates will leave the room immediately…" he smiled pointing to the genin. Ino shook her head as she continued to watch the kids. Tonbo smiled at just how serious she was watching these kids. Since she was a sensor she could easily read these kids, about half of them hadn't even figured it out yet that they were suppose to cheat with out getting caught. A smile spread to Ino's face as she stood up and quickly threw three shuriken to what appeared to be an empty space, everyone looked over at her like she was crazy, including her comrades. She smirked softly, "very clever" she spoke as a shadow clone of one of the genin appeared with a slight scrape on his face, "the camouflage technique is rather advanced for a genin, perhaps you need to practice it more…your light reflection control needs a bit of work." Looking down at her clip board she crossed off the genin's number along with his teammates as she called out that they failed as she sat back down. Kotetsu smirked, "impressive…" as he crossed off the genin's names from his list.

Ino smiled softly, "sensor…" as she pointed to herself before Ibiki started talking, explaining the 10th blah blah, this seemed to last a long time before he finally explained that they passed. Ino sighed softly as she sat back in her chair, she couldn't figure out why she had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach, closing her eyes she let her mind wander. Her mind was rushing quicker than she could imagine, she could feel her brain squeezing, something was wrong, but what was it? Tonbo looked over at her, gently placing his hand on her knee, "are you alright?" he whispered. Slowly her eyes blinked open as she looked over at him, "y..yeah…" she spoke softly "just a headache" he nodded his head lightly although he knew she was lying, and he wasn't the only one concerned. Ibiki simply looked over at him and nodded his head, they both have been watching her rather closely and knew that something was wrong, something or someone was trying to get to her using her sensor abilities, but who was it and why, that was the question.
