Chapter 2

War

Not long after Naruto started training under Jiraiya, a few ANBU found Hayate Gekko, the proctor for the third exam dead on a rooftop. So the Hokage called a meeting with all the Jonin in the Leaf Village. Since Mayu was out training Yuki, Kakashi was kind of glad that Mayu wouldn't be waiting outside wondering what the meeting was about. Despite Hayate's murder, they decided to continue with the Chunin Exam. Also one of the other Jonin told Kakashi that it would probably be best not to tell Mayu about it.

Meanwhile, Miori decided to check out the Yamanaka Flower Shop. When she entered the shop, she found Sakura and Ino looking picking out flowers for Sasuke.

"Hey guys." Miori greeted them.

"Oh, hi Miori" said Sakura. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh I was thinking about getting a flower for someone" said Miori.

"Who?" asked Ino. 'It better not be Sasuke!' she thought.

"Just some guy in the hospital" answered Miori.

"Come on, be more pacific" said Sakura. "If it's Sasuke, I'll kill her! Cha!" said Inner Sakura.

"Is it someone we know?" asked Ino.

"Yeah, you know him" said Miori.

"Who is it?" asked both Sakura and Ino.

"Lee" answered Miori.

"Yeah, I'm getting one for him too" said Sakura.

So then the 3 girls went to the hospital to visit Lee and Sasuke. They went to go see Sasuke first, but he was missing from his room. So while the hospital staff searched for Sasuke, they went over to visit Lee. But he was also missing from his room. Then they looked out the window and saw him doing pushups. So then the 3 girls and the nurse went down to where Lee was. The nurse told Lee to stop it, but he didn't listen and collapsed from overexerting himself. The nurse told the girls to stay with him.

"Why do boys always take things to far?" Sakura asked.

"Why ask me? I'm not a boy" said Ino.

"Maybe it's just because they're all idiots" said Miori.

Later when Lee woke up in his hospital bed, he noticed a vase with two flowers in it, a daffodil from Sakura and a yellow flower called a mimosa(1) from Miori.

3 weeks later…

Mayu and Yuki went to the ramen place (I can never remember what it's called.) for lunch before getting back to training. While they were eat Naruto and Jiraiya showed up.

"Hey Yuki! Hey Mayu!" Naruto greeted them.

"Hi Naruto" said Yuki.

"Oh hi Naruto, how's your training going?" asked Mayu.

"Oh great, just great" said Naruto. Mayu could tell he was lying, but she didn't say anything about, and then she noticed that Jiraiya was looking at her.

'She's really cute, but she doesn't have much in the cleavage area' though Jiraiya.

Naruto noticed the look Jiraiya was giving Mayu. "Don't even think about it pervy-sage. She has a boyfriend" said Naruto.

'Thank you Naruto' thought Mayu. She seriously didn't like the way Jiraiya was looking at her, so she figured that he must a huge pervert.

'Dammit!' though Jiraiya.

"Come on Yuki, we should get back to training" said Mayu.

"Alright, see ya Naruto" said Yuki as she and Mayu paid the bill and left.

"You know that cutie?" Jiraiya asked Naruto.

"Yeah, she's my sensei's girlfriend" said Naruto.

"You mean that Ebisu guy?" asked Jiraiya.

"Oh Kami no!" exclaimed Naruto. "Ebisu was just my temporary trainer. I'm talking about Kakashi-sensei."

"Oh" said Jiraiya in an interested tone. 'So, Kakashi got himself a cute little girlfriend' he though. 'Atta boy, Kakashi! Her cuteness actually makes up for what she lacks.'

The night before the main matches, training for the day ended early so the genin could go to the festival. Yuki, Maya, and Miori were hanging out at the festival with Tama. Then of course, Kakashi and Mayu went to the festival together. As they walked along the street, Kakashi had one arm around Mayu and in the other his copy of Make-Out Violence which he was reading.

"Do they by any chance have karaoke at this festival?" asked Mayu.

"Nope, sorry" answered Kakashi.

"Aww man!" Mayu moaned. Then they ran into two people they didn't expect to run into.

"Yui! Keibo!" Mayu exclaimed as she hugged her old teammates/friends from the Light Village. Keibo blushed. Mayu and Yui didn't notice the blush, but Kakashi did. He figured that Keibo must still have feeling for Mayu. Being Kakashi, he just kept reading his book and pretended that Keibo being around didn't brother him one bit. Even though he and Mayu owed Keibo one, Kakashi couldn't help but resent a little, but also felt a little bad for feeling that way.

Keibo noticed the book that Kakashi was reading. 'Oh Kami! I can't believe Mayu choose that pervert over me!' he though.

"What are you guys doing here?" Mayu asked her friends.

"We came to cheer on Maya and Miori for the main matches. Tama-sensei told us that they made it to the final matches." Yui explained.

Mayu and Yui were so busy chatting and catching up, they didn't notice that Kakashi and Keibo were having one of those lighting between the eyes moment. (In Kakashi's case, eye.) They were both giving each other the "I don't like you, but I'll be nice to you for Mayu's sake" glare.

The next day was the day of main matches. And the day that would decide if any of the genin will become Chunin. As Mayu, sat in the audience with Tama, Miori, Sakura, Yui, and Keibo, she noticed that Sasuke and Kakashi weren't there yet. 'This really isn't a good time to be late Kakashi…' Mayu though. Then when it was announced that Genma was the proctor of the third part of the exam. 'What happened to that Hayate guy?' though Mayu. 'Is he sick or something?'

Then the main matches began. The first match was Naruto vs. Neji.

"Go Naruto!" Sakura and Miori cheered him on.

Through out the match, it seemed like Neji had the upper hand. But Naruto was able to turn the fight around and defeat Neji.

"Alright Naruto!" Sakura, Miori, and Mayu cheered.

The next match was Kankuro vs. Shino. But for some reason Kankuro forfeited, so Shino won by default.

Since Dosu didn't show up (Gee, I wonder why?), Shikamaru had to face Temari. Shikamaru seemed like he was on the verge of defeating Temari, but he chooses to give, so Temari was declared the winner.

"WTF!" Miori exclaimed.

"Watch your language, young lady!" Tama scolded her.

But because of Shikamaru use of strategy on the battlefield, the examiners decided he should be promoted to chunin.

Next was Sasuke vs. Gaara. But Sasuke still wasn't there yet. 'Dammit Kakashi!' though Mayu.

Then suddenly Sasuke and Kakashi made a grand entrance. 'About time' though Mayu. After apologizing for being late and making sure that Sasuke wasn't disqualified, Kakashi went into the audience and sat down beside Mayu. (Figuring he'd be late she saved a seat for him.) Kakashi was about to put his arm around Mayu, but then noticed the pissed off look on her face, and backed off.

'How could she choose a tardy pervert over me?' Keibo wondered.

Then the match between Gaara and Sasuke began. At first it seemed like Sasuke couldn't get through the sand that protected Gaara. But with the aid of Chidori, Sasuke able to land a hit on Gaara and Gaara bleeds for the first time in his life.

Then suddenly there was an explosion where the Hokage and Kazekage were. Then someone used a jutsu to make all the audience members fall asleep, except for Kakashi, Guy, Sakura, Mayu, Tama, Yui, and Keibo. Kankuro and Temari grabbed Gaara and made a run for it. Sasuke chased after them. Kakashi and the other realized they were out numbered. Then the one who were still awake notice that Orochimaru had the Hokage.

"Orochimaru" said Kakashi.

"That's Orochimaru?" Mayu said. 'Damn, that guy looks scary' though Mayu.

Then suddenly two Sand ninjas tried to attack Sakura. Kakashi quickly strikes and took out both ninjas. Then he told Sakura to stay down. So then Kakashi, Guy, Mayu, Yui, Kiebo, and Tama all worked together to fight the Sand and Sound ninja, Kakashi told Sakura to wake up Naruto and Shikamaru. He was sending them on an A ranked mission to follow Sasuke. Then Kakashi summoned Pukkun, and then Pukkun and Sakura left to go get Naruto and Shikamaru. After waking up Naruto and Shikamaru, one of the Sound ninja tried to attack Naruto. But Guy quickly sent the ninja flying through a wall. Kakashi told them to follow Sasuke, so then the 3 kids and Pukkan left through the hole in the wall.

The fighting went on for some more time. At one point Yui and Keibo were surrounded by Sound ninja. Mayu rushed over to help her friends, as she did she transformed into celestial maiden form. Her hair turned black and her eyes turned gold. Mayu concentrated and then suddenly all they sound ninja around them were obliterated. Mayu was shocked at what she could do with her celestial powers, as was everyone else. After some time, the Sand and Sound ninja retreated. Mayu returned to her normal form and fell to her. Part of it from the amount of chakra it takes to stay in her celestial, and part of from the shock of what she could do with her celestial powers. Keibo was about to check to see if Mayu was alright, but Kakashi beat him to her. Kakashi knelt beside Mayu and asked her if she was alright. "I'm fine" said Mayu. "But you guys should go see if the Hokage is alright."

"How did you do that?" Guy asked Mayu.

"Well long story, short I'm the descendant of a Ten'nyo." Mayu explained.

Later, everyone discovered that the Village Hidden in the Leafs was saved at a heavy price, the deaths of many Leaf ninja and the death of the Third Hokage.
