A/N : Hey! Sorry I haven't exactly said how old they are or the story setting! ^_^" Sorry!
Well, in the story, everyone who is going to the chuunin exam has to be at the min the age of 17!
Also, they go to a sort of highschool type of thing, where-as they can be a 1st - 4rth year level of genin
Misery, Kiba, naruto, well everyone is at their 4th year, where they will participate in the exam, or will choose to have an occupation.
Like Sakura has chosen to work at the hospital and Ino has chosen to open her own bar/club!
OH! AND the cover is yes, you guessed it, it's Misery! :D
Also, Sasuke is not so much of a douche in this.
And Ino, Is NOT in love with him. She's with someone ;)
I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE NARUTO CHARACTERS IN ANY WAY, NOR AM I CLAIMING THEM
I ONLY OWN THE INUZUKU FAMILY AND SOME MEMBER'S OF THE HIGHSCHOOL
RECAP: Misery was out training with Eve when she smelled him. He smelled of the Forrest dew, he smelled wild. She whipped around to look at him. There he was staring right back at her. Kiba Inuzuka.
There he was, the one who she hated. The one the elder's had decided that she would have to marry, to join the clans together again. She hated him. She couldn't stand to see him, she had to leave and fast. She turned just in time and started to gather her things when she heard him "Well, look what we got here. A nice 'Hello" would be the protocol, but I see you can't even seem to follow that rule." She winced her eyes. She turned to look at him, his dark hair was a mess, untamed, his skin much tanner than hers, the slits in his eyes, staring back at her own grey orbs. She scrunched her nose "I do not need to socialize with you. I came here to train, and you have interrupted even that part of my life. Do me a favor, and leave me be. " With that she patted her leg, and continued walking. Eve running after her master, only to glance back at Akumaru and make the slightest whimper. She liked Akumaru, he was always nice to her when they were younger, sharing his food, bones, and even his treats with her. She could not understand why her master didn't like Kiba, they were friends at one point.. Weren't they?
"You act like you're the only one who is effected by the Elder's decision! I didn't come here to be nice to you!" He marched up to her, grabbing on to her shoulder, swinging her around to face him. He lowed his face to her's and stuck his nose right onto hers "I came here to tell you, that if you mention this to anyone, I'll find you, and we'll have a big problem." She growled at him " I don't plan on telling anyone anything, so get the FUCK out of my face, and get your arm off of my shoulder before I rip the fucker off." He smirked, and backed away "See you at school tomorrow. Bitch." and with that he walked away, Akumaru in tow.
'That bastard. I can't believe I let his stupid ass get to me. Fuck HIM. Fuck the elder's, fuck this villiage, fuck the school, fu-' Her thoughts were cut loose as she slammed into something rather hard, sending both herself and whatever that was down in the process. "Watch where you're going you twat!" She sat up, and looked over at the boy she had slammed into, he had dark raven black hair, with pitch black eyes. He wore a navy blue shirt with white cargo pants. She snarled " Maybe you should move out of my way!" She picked herself up and brushed herself off. While he did the same. Then yet another boy came up from behind the one she slammed into. This one has golden blonde hair, with baby blue eyes, while wearing a orange jumpsuit of some kind. "Woah, are you okay Miss? I've never seen you around here before!" She winced and glanced at Eve, who cocked her head to the side while looking at the boy with blonde hair. She snapped her eye's back to the boy, who was now shaking his hand in her face. "Gosh, Sasuke I think you might have really hit her hard.." She slapped the boy's hand out of her face " Excuse me, I will b-" He cut her off yet again "My name is Naruto! This big asswhipe is Sasuke. What's your name?" She winced, 'Kami, this is exactly why I stay to myself.' "Misery, and this is Eve. We were just leaving." "Well wait!" As she walked by him he grabbed her wrist, she yanked it away. " I was wondering if we could take you to Ramen? After all, it's the least we could do, after how hard Sasuke hit you." Sasuke glanced at Naruto "Yeah.. I guess it was kind of my fault.." he stuck his hand in his pockets. Eve's stomac decieded to growl at that point. 'Please Master? I don't think that there is anything wrong with these boneheads, I'm sure you could take on both at the same time, and have a victorious winning.' She rose her eyebrows to that. "Ehh.. Yeah.. I guess so."
They had been at this ramen bar, for two hours. For the past two hours, both boys were trying to get the know her, but had no avail. "Can't you tell us something about you? Like what are you doing here in the village?" Naruto peered up at her, speaking with a mouth full of ramen. She sighed "I guess there is no harm in telling you a little about myself and Eve. Eve is my companion" "Like Kiba's?" Naruto almost spitting out his mouth full of food, but then getting punched in the back of the head by Sasuke "Let her speak, you baka." Misery couldn't help but to slightly chuckle at the two boys interactions. They were nice, and even gueninly cared about her. They were doing no harm, but even trying to make her feel more at home. So she decieded to continue. "I am from the village of the mist. And to answer your question Naruto, yes. Very much so. I am from the Inuzuku clan, which is a decendent from the Inuzuka clan. " Sasuke looked at Misery, peering in her eyes "What makes you want to come here, to the hidden leaf?" She looked down at her ramen, watching as the beef floated around and the slight steam rose " I have come here to advance in my training in becoming a full time ANBU officer. " He smirked and let out a small chuckle " That means we will be seeing you at school. We only have a week left before the exams." Naruto took the chance to fist pump in the air causing the bowls that he had piled up to crash down. He sweat dropped "Not again.." Yes, Misery could start to like it here.. Not everyone is treating her like they did in the Mist.
She was running, she didn't know what from, all she knew is that the voice in her head was telling her to run. to not stop, to keep pushing herself to the limit. She looked around and all she could see was the forest branches from trees and bushes seemed to be growing, trying to claw at her feet. She jumped in the air, hoping to get away, she didn't know what it was all she knew is that it was coming. Something grabbed her leg, pulling her back down. She screemed "NO! I will NOT FAIL!" tears began to fall down her face. The voice in her head growing stronger "GET UP"-
Misery woke in a cold sweat. She covered her face. It has been the same dream for years, she couldn't no matter how hard she tried, get it to go away. She groaned throwing the pillow across the room. Eve sat up, and jumped on the bed, curling into her masters side. "I don't understand, Eve. I don't know what the voice is telling me to get away from.." Eve snorted "It's to early for this. Let's go back to sleep." Misery peered at her alarm clock on the night stand. The little red numbers saying 6:30 am. She stretched her muscles "You go ahead, I have to go to school today. Which is BullShit." She got up and went to the bathroom connected to her room, and washed herself. She emerged an hour later. Hearing a loud banging on her door. She sniffed the air, it smelled like Ramen, and what was that.. smelled kind of like.. metal? She smirked, knowing those smells, she opened her door to Naruto and Sasuke standing there. Sasuke with his hands in his pockets, and Naruto glaring at Sasuke. " Can I help you?" Naruto, whipped his head in her direction. "Gosh, Misery. Do you plan on making every guy in school fall in love with you?" Misery slightly stepped back and peered down at her outfit. She wasn't wearing anything special. Simple black highwaisted shorts that had suspenders, with a blue bandeau top with some black vans. Her hair wasn't even done, just down. She never applied makeup, Never did her hair before, why would she start now. She heard Naruto fall down. She looked up and seen Naruto on the floor, his hands over his head and Sasuke with his hand in the air. "What he ment to say was, you look great Misery. Are you ready for us to accompany you to school?" She shook her head "I do not recall telling you that I need to be escorted to school." Naruto picked himself up " Well I decieded that it would be a good idea, that way we can show you to class! " His smile grew across his face. She sighed "I won't be winning this fight will I?" He shook his head while Sasuke sighed and did the same.
When they arrived at school a group of girls ran up to Sasuke, pushing Naurto out of the way. For some reason this bothered her, that was rather disrespectful. She growled and grabbed Naruto's arm and pulled him to her. "Are you okay? Those bitches almost ran you over." A tall lanky, brown-haired girl with spray tan that went horribly wrong(She was orange not tan) seemed to have heard her "EXCUSE ME? And WHO are you?" Misery did not have the patients when it came to girls like this. It's not like Sasuke wanted them. She marched right up to the girl Naruto in tow, trying to pull her away from the path that she was heading in. "I am Misery, and you better watch that tounge of yours, or else I might rip it out of your big fat mouth." The girl nervously grabbed onto Sasuke's arm "Sasuke! Did you hear what that..That.. That RAT said to me Sh-" Sasuke shrugged his arm out of her grip. "Well maybe you should listen to her. You do talk rather too much." She crossed her arms, her eyes started to fill up with tears. Misery never broke her graze with the girl. It's something that the Alphas must learn, to never break eye contact when challenging an opponent. Naruto shook her shoulders "MISERY !" She closed her eyes, and looked at him. His smile got wide " Let's go get your schedule !"
