Marina: You know the drill. Don't own Naruto. Probably never will. My life is spiralling into a black abyss. I hurt myself to remind me i'm alive. I feed on other's misery. You left my heart an open wound. If life ain't a joke, then why are we laughing? *Cries in emo corner with Gaara plushie*. I'm gonna go cut myself. Enjoy.

Xx-Marina's POV-xX

"Well, they don't have what you have, do they?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean the demon fox! Kyuubi!"

"How do you know about that?"

"I know everything about you!"

"Impossible!"

"Ask me any question about yourself, then!"

"Favourite colour?"

"Orange."

"Favourite food?"

"Ramen."

"If you know everything about me, then what colour are my underwear?"

"Blue."

"How the hell did you know that!?"

I shrugged my shoulders.

"Dunno, it's just that anytime I have seen you in your underwear it has been blue, so I guessed…"

"You have seen me in underwear!?" A blush spread across Naruto's face.

"Yup! Loadsa times!!!" Naruto went red. I sat up on the stool and continued to slurp my ramen. Naruto did the same

"How many times?"

"A good few…"

"I see…" Naruto was the same colour as a beetroot.

"Naruto?"

"Hm?"

"I bet I could eat more ramen in twenty minutes than you!"

"No way."

"The loser has to be the winner's slave for a day!"

"If you want to be my slave for a day, fine! You're on!"

"Time starts…" I looked at my watch. "NOW!"

Naruto and I were slurping down ramen at an alarming rate.

"More, please!"

"More!"

"More!"

"MORE!!!"

"MOOORRREEE!"

"MORE, MORE, MORE!!!"

"Time's up!" I looked at the pile of bowls in front of Naruto, then at my own.

"Thirteen!" Naruto looked at me with a smug look on his face. "Beat that!"

"Four…" I pretended to look disappointed. "TEEN!!! YOU LOSE!!!"

"What?!" He stared at the pile of empty bowls. "A girl beat me! How?!"

"Like this!!!" I picked up a bowl of ramen and slurped it up.

"Ok then, I'm your slave for the rest of the day."

"First, let's go see the rest of your team!!!" I threw a wad of cash on the table. "That should cover it!"

I convinced Naruto to introduce me to Kakashi.

"Kakashi-sensei! I'd like you to meet Marina-chan, my new friend!" Kakashi turned around then gasped.

"Marina-hime, what are you doing in Konoha?"

"Why does everyone know who I am?!" I was getting sick of the Princess thing. "First Guy-sensei, then old man Hokage and now Kakashi! It's like the only person who doesn't know who I am is me!!!"

"Calm down, Marina-sama."

"I will not calm down! I am stressed out! And why am I stressed out?! Because I just finished beating the crap out of Lee, then I get here and just when I start to have some fun with Naruto, you start being all overprotective of me! I can take care of myself, you know! I don't need everyone guarding me! I am sick and tired of everyone treating me like a sheet of glass! I am just as tough as any of the ninja here and I think I deserve to be treated just as they are, thank you very much scarecrow-face!!!"

"Marina?" Naruto was glaring at me.

"Yes."

"You beat the crap out of who?"

"Lee."

"Do you mean that student of Guy's who he is always bragging about?" Kakashi asked.

"Yep."

"How?"

"Moonlight Barrage…"

"Moonlight what?"

"It's a barrage I invented…"

"Invented? Do you have a kekke genkai, then?"

"Nope, just copied it. It's taijutsu so everything is exactly the way it looks…"

"Guess so…"

"I better be leaving soon, it's getting dark!"

"Why, are you afraid of the dark?"

"Kinda…"

"Oh, if you'd like I can walk you home."

"That would be nice!!!"

"Cool!"

Naruto and I started to walk to the hotel in silence, when I had a fantabulous idea:

"Naruto-kun?"

"Yes?"

"Do you wanna have a sleepover?" Naruto stared at me.

"Don't you think that's a bit sudden, Marina? I only met you an hour ago!"
"Not that kind of sleepover! Like we could invite everyone and play truth or dare!!!"

"Oh…"

"We could have it in the hotel! I'm sure old man Hokage wouldn't mind!"

"I'll invite everyone I know! When is it going to be?"

"Tomorrow, at nine, in room 97."

"I'll see who can come!"

"Cool!"

We walked the rest of the way in silence. I got to the hotel, only to be met with a worried Guy-sensei and team Guy.

"Marina-hime, where have you been? I was worried sick about you!!!"

"I just went out for ramen and met Naruto-kun!" I pointed at Naruto, who had gone red when met with Neji's ever-present death-stare. "Naruto-kun offered to walk me to the hotel."

"Marina-hime, I must forbid you from leaving the hotel again."

"What!? Why!?"

"There has been a sighting of Orochimaru in Konoha. We cannot take any chances."

"He doesn't want me, he wants Sasuke!"

Man, I was glad Naruto had left...

"How do you know!?"

"The second stage of the chuunin exams are soon, right?"

"Right, they are in three days time, why?"

"In the forest, Orochimaru is going to give Sasuke a cursemark on his neck, just like Anko's, then Sasuke is going to turn evil and leave for 70 episodes!!!"
"Episodes?"

"Oh, right! Sorry, I mean a long, long time! We have to stop, or at least postpone the chuunin exams!"

"How do you know all this?"

"Boxset 2:1, episodes 27-37." Everybody looked at me as if I was speaking some other language. "In the forest of death!"

"Marina-hime, what do you know of Orochimaru?"

"Pale dude, really tall, long hair and awesome purple eye makeup! Oh and his earrings are cool too…"

"I mean how do you know about…" Guy-sensei leant in. "…The cursemark?"

"Oh, Sasuke gets one and Anko has one. I'm not sure who else has them, but…"

"We need to see the Hokage again!"

"Again!?"

"You need to tell him everything you know about Orochimaru!"

"I guess so…"

Guy-sensei grabbed me by the arm and started running towards the Hokage tower. We got there within seconds. He pushed open the door and pushed his way through the waiting room. Guy burst into the Hokage's office.

"Hokage-sama, Marina has information on Orochimaru! It's urgent!"

The Sandaime ushered the sandnin that were in his office to leave.

"Marina-hime, is this true?"

I nodded my head. "It is."

"What do you know?"

"Orochimaru will attack during the chuunin exams. His main target will be Sasuke Uchiha."

"Uchiha? Why?"

"Sharingan."

"I see. How do you know all this?"

"Long story..."

"I have a while!"

"REALLY long story!"

"Oh." He could see that I was in no mood to explain. "We will assign ANBU to the forest of death on the day of the exam."

"It won't work, Orochimaru will kill them all."

"I will have to assign all the ANBU to the forest of death."

"Hokage-sama, you need to cancel or postpone the exam, there is no way around it."

"I'm sorry Marina but there is no way I can do that. Many Genin have travelled from other countries to participate in this exam."

"So, you are just going to let Orochimaru kill Sasuke?"

"I will make sure no harm comes to the Uchiha."

"Old man, I'm sorry if I'm being rude, but you are not taking into consideration all the factors. Orochimaru will take Sasuke, kill him and use his body as a host to start a world war three. If you do not want that to happen, then you will listen to me and postpone the exams!" (I assume they have heard of the two world wars in Konoha…) Wow, I sounded like Hotaru... I iz smartz! W00t w00t!

"Marina-hime…"

"Don't you 'Marina-hime' me! I am insisting that you postpone the exams."

"I am sorry Marina-hime, but that will not be possible, now I have lots of urgent business to take care of."

Guy grabbed me by the shoulder and dragged me out of the office.

"Guy-sensei, I'm going to go back to the hotel."
"Fine, just don't sneak off again, OK?"

"Okay!"

I had my fingers crossed... Muahahahaha!

Marina: I am sorry for my emo-tional (Hehehe cheesy pun!) breakdown at the disclaimer. I was falling from a sugar high. Now i have my sugar back, I IZ HYPER AGAIN!!! Please review. Thank you. Flames will be used to burn Deidara's hair. You don't want that, do you?

Hotaru: It is cool hair...
