Hey,
I thought I might- to make you happy- post a small chapter. I'll probably keep writing small chapters so I don't keep you all waiting so long that you lose interest.
Also, I have a poll up in my profile about what story to start next, after I finish this one. There are 4 stories to choose from. Jappa is also going to post it on her account to get more votes so I can figure out which one I need to start writing. Please vote!
Anyway, happy reading and enjoy the short chapter.

P.S. I can't remember how Anko tells the people of the exam, so I am changing it a bit.
And the mood Kagome is in at the moment is one you will see me in sometimes and it annoys the hell outta my friends.
Chapter 7: Forest of Death
"Okay you little pipsqueaks! Today you are doing the exams in The Forest of Death." Anko exclaimed when everyone arrived at the forest of dead.
"Each team will get either a heaven or and earth scroll. You need to get the other scroll and go to the tower in the middle of the forest before the 5 days are up. Your whole team needs to be there and under no circumstances are you to open the scrolls until you are at the tower! Can one person from each team line up over here to get a scroll and wait out the front of the gate you given." She said.
Kagome turned to her team. "I'll get the scroll." Sasuke said and ran over to the line.
"Man, this is so gonna suck. I mean, we could die in there." Kagome sighed.
"Ha! You sound like Shikamaru!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Look like I care?" Kagome asked. Naruto frowned as he realised what kind of mood Kagome was in.
"You're having one of your 'I'm depressed leave me alone' moments aren't you?" he asked.
Kagome's eyes widened and she looked away. Sasuke then came back with the scroll in his jacket. He sat down on the ground next to Sakura.
"Don't know what you are talking about." She lied. Naruto gave Kagome the 'if you want to lie, Lie better' look.
"Don't lie Kagome, I know something is up." Naruto said.
Sakura watched the two of them talk confused.
'Kagome's depressed?' she asked herself.
'Don't ask me.' Her inner replied.
"I'm not in one of my depressing moods, okay!" Kagome said.
"Riiiight, like I will believe that." Naruto said.
"Believe it!" Kagome exclaimed.
"Now you sound like Naruto." I pointed out.
"Hn," Kagome said.
"And now you sound like Sasuke." Naruto sighed.
"Just leave me alone!" Kagome yelled when a horn blew and the Jounin waiting at our gate opened it.
"How when we are suppose to stay together." Naruto stated.
"Naruto," Kagome said her tone sending him a warning.
"What?" he asked innocently. "I'm just stating the obvious."
Sasuke looked at the two confused and then looked at Sakura. Sakura shrugged and went back to watching her best friend.
Kagome had her nose it the air, her arms crossed and she was facing away from Naruto. You could tell she was annoyed but something told Sakura that she was also, still, depressed.
"Hey, ah, Kagome…?" Sakura asked.
"Hm…?"
"Can I talk to you for a sec?" Sakura asked looking over to a tree nearby.
"Sure," Kagome said and grabbed Sakura's hand leading her over to the tree.
"Listen and you guys are dead." Kagome yelled from behind the tree. She then turned to face Sakura.
"What's up?" she asked with a smile.
"I should be the one asking what's wrong, so what's wrong?" Sakura asked.
Kagome's face fell and she looked away, saying nothing.
Sakura looked at Kagome sympathetically.
"It's Gaara isn't it?" She stated.
Kagome looked at Sakura shocked. "How'd you know?" she asked.
"I have my ways," Sakura said with a small smile, happy Kagome fell for the trap. "Now, what's up?"
"It's just... I just- I don't know." Kagome sighed leaning against the tree. Sakura frowned.
"What do you mean 'I don't know'?" she asked.
"That's the thing," Kagome stated. "I don't know. I guess I just miss him and well, I'm scared but I don't know why. UGH!" she exclaimed.
"Look, we'll talk later because the guys are getting impatient and we need to get that scroll." Sakura said. "But you are telling me everything." Kagome gave a small nod and walked off. Sakura smiled and also went to the boys.
Hey, sorry it's short and it is probably just dragging on and on in this chapter, but it will make more sense next chappy.
I'm not going to bother writing the fight with Orochimaru down as it is the same as in the series. Next chapter will start when Naruto is fishing with Sasuke but with Kagome when she is taking a walk. Also, it is the same day that this happened. Make sense? If not, it will next chapter.
Again sorry it is so short but short chapters mean more chapters. Lol
Please review!
