I forgot to mention this in the last chapter but a tengu is a black winged demon, known to be one of the most powerful types of demons. They resemble crows.

I hope this helps :)

I had to take the physical exam first, which I was glad of because I wanted to get this one over with.

"Ok there are 25 teachers here so we're going to separate you by small groups that have nothing to do with your name. We're just going to choose 10 of you at a time and take you away separately the rest of you will stay here and if anyone leaves this place they are automatically sent to the red dorm with a failing grade." They were strict.

"Alright, if we point at you then you go behind whoever pointed to you and wait until the teacher has finished choosing the ten students."

As they began to start choosing I realized one of them pointed at me and I walked behind him silently along with a few other students that were chosen. The teacher that chose me had white hair and one eye covered, he also seemed strong but he was very good at hiding it. I looked down daydreaming as the rest of the people were chosen.

"Alright my group lets go." The teacher that chose me said as he began to walk away from the rest of the kids standing there and some of the teachers that were still choosing.

I was in the front so I didn't really know who else he had chosen until they began to walk faster and were walking next to me.

"Hey it's you again." I heard that high picked voice again. Crap, don't tell me.

I looked to my right to the blond guy with blue eyes. Damn.

"Hi?" I said confused in what to say, he smelled good. I turned my head at that moment. He didn't smell like a tengu but I could be wrong.

"Hn." I heard the guy with black/blue hair and black eyes say and I turned only to smell that overpowering delicious smell of a tengu. Ok so I was right. I gulped and looked straight ahead, as long as I didn't turn my head I wouldn't be able to smell them.

"Ok your test will be here." The teacher said turning to us and we saw a couple machines in front of us.

"There is a total of six test, each of you will take all of these test. It will go one at a time the first one will be this one," he said pointing to a machine that had an arm on it in a position that most would recognize as the position to arm wrestle, "yes you will have to arm wrestle with it. Once it beeps three times it'll start. It is set on a certain amount of strength, the time also counts as your grade so let's start."

"You." He said pointing to some kid behind me, "Step forward your fist, tell me your name and numbers and good luck." He said as he held a pen ready to write.

"Chouji 87568." He said before sitting down on the chair that was in front of the machine. It was set in a way that we were seeing his left side.

It beeped once, twice, three times and then it began. I watched this Chouji guy as he began to struggle to win against the machine, he was losing but began to win again and then he finally lost.

"Ok, good job. Next, you." He said.

"Ino 21680." The blond girl with blue eyes said as she sat down on the seat, soon the machine started and she was able to keep it from pushing her down for at least 3 seconds before she lost.

"Next." He said pointing to someone else.

"Tenten 56489" She was able to keep in from pushing her down for 15 seconds before it beat her.

"Next."

"Neji 794120" he was able to push it back at first, he began to push it down for a while but then began to lose until he finally lost, but he lasted a while.

"Good job, next." I notice he is saying good job to those who seemed to have passed.

"Temari 12314" she pushed it back for a while until she finally lost.

"Good job, next."

"Shikamaru 45896" he lasted less than Temari.

"Next."

"Hinata 46312" She lasted less than Ino.

"Next."

"Naruto 96301" he started out strong, he was wrestling with it for about 3 minutes before he finally won, he high fived his friend before standing next to him.

"Good job. Next."

"Sasuke 56321" he started out strong and ended very strong, he finished in 1 minute and a half. Everyone stared in surprise and he high fived his friend Naruto as he stood beside him but before that he gave me a glance, I did not know why. Was he challenging me to try and do better than him or something? Oh it's on. If it's one thing that got me fired up, it was a challenge.

"Next." He said and I was the last one so I walked up to the machine before sitting down. I'll show you tengu.

It beeped once, twice, and on the third beep I smirked. I pushed it down before the five second mark was done, and I looked up to meet Sasuke's eyes that were full of shock with fire in mine. It took him around 3 seconds to compose his face before he smirked at me. For some reason it made my heart jump, what the hell?

"Very very well done Sakura. Well you know what your grade is." He said with a chuckle and I took my place back in line and I could feel the blank stares following me.

"Next test is to test your target skills." He said bringing out the next machine, after that one came one to test our strategy skills, after that one came the test to see how strong our legs were, and after that it was our reflex, and finally the test that tested our pain resistance.

Once it was all over we were walking back to the students where it seemed less people where then last time. "You all did very well, now you can leave and wait for the bell to go to take your written exam. Good luck." He said before beginning to choose new students.

As I began to walk away I felt an arm around my shoulder, I was automatically on alert. I grabbed the arm and threw the body flying in front of me before slamming it on the floor.

"What the hell? Naruto?" I asked when I saw his blue eyes staring up at me in shock. "Don't sneak up on people like that." I said before picking him back up.

"Sorry, sorry Sakura-chan." He said dusting himself off- wait. Sakura-chan?

"You're really strong." He said smiling.

"Um...thanks." I said awkwardly.

"You really impressed me." Sasuke said coming from behind us.

"Yea, and it's really hard to impress teme here." Naruto said jokingly we began to talk under the cherry blossom where we first met, we were relaxing there for a while now waiting for the bell to ring.

"So you guys are friends?" I asked noticing how close they are.

"Best friends!" Naruto said and Sasuke didn't disagree so I took that as a yes.

"That must be nice." I said thinking back on how I didn't have any best friend, or a friend in general.

"You don't have a best friend?" He asked looking at me in shock.

"No…" I said feeling dumb for not ever having one. I looked away not meeting there gaze that I knew held pity.

"Want to be our best friend too?" He asked smiling at me and I could do nothing but stare in bewilderment at them.

"Really?" I asked without really thinking about it, I know I acted like I didn't care, but everyone wants a friend.

"Of course! Right teme?" He asked his best friend and I turned my gaze at him.

"Yea." He said and my heart was dancing in my chest, I never really had friends before. I was so happy that I did something out of character. I ran up to them and embraced them in a hug so they wouldn't see the tears that wanted to come out.

I could feel when people were trying to do harm to me so I knew I could trust them because they genuinely wanted to trust me.

I felt their hands hugging me back and I thought, maybe this place won't be so bad anymore.

Suddenly the bell rang.

"Come on, we need to head over to do our written exam." Sasuke said and I nodded before letting them go, and we began to walk over to our written exam.

Hope you all enjoyed! Reviews would be appreciated thanks :P
