Here you go. Chewie cookies, InoXXPig, sugarcrazedninja, Tristan S, GUCIGIRL, and Narutosshadowclone, I thank you all for the reviews! This I think should be a pretty long chapter. I do not own anything Naruto related. Enjoy!

Hearts were pounding as the cell members waited outside their designated gate entrances to the Forest of Death. Hiroshi looked at the scroll in his hand and his heart rammed against his rib cage harder than it was before. Beads of sweat dripped down Amaya's face as she waited. The only one who looked calm was Megumi, probably because she was relieved to have passed the first part. At another gate Akira, Koyuki and Haruko were looking over their tools to see if they had enough to get through it all.

The gates opened and the teams ran in. Megumi had her blind eye jutsu activated so she could easily make her way around the dead and twisted trees as she followed her team. Hiroshi took up the front while Amaya was behind Megumi. Megumi skidded to a halt and moved around in a circle, she squatted to the ground and put both hands to the soil.

"Something wrong?" both Hiroshi and Amaya asked as they watched her. Megumi shrugged, standing up again.

"It feels like there are two cells closing in on us." She said quietly, pointing to either side of her. Amaya and Hiroshi's eyes widened and they grabbed her arms and dragged her away. She got out of their grasp and ran with them. How are we going to get the other scroll if we run away from the other cells? She thought as they ran. When she noticed they were slowing down she stopped and tapped the ground again.

"There's nobody following us, we can stop now." She panted, sitting down and resting against a tree trunk. The others sat down too and stayed still, waiting for any sign of a person or animal coming there way. Constantly they would ask Megumi if there was anyone coming, and she would answer the same thing every time, "no."

"How are we going to get the other scroll?" Amaya asked.

"Easy, you put them under genjutsu, I'll attack with ninjutsu and Hiroshi will take the scroll." Megumi said with a smile, her eyes were closed and her head was tilted up to the sky. Amaya shrugged and looked at Hiroshi, who was scratching his chin in thought.

"Amaya and I could go look for other cells and go at them by ourselves, and you could stay here and watch over our scroll." He said after a moment.

"Why? Because I'm blind?" she asked sourly.

"No, because you can do the shadow clones and confuse any one who comes after the scroll. They wouldn't know which one of you has it." He said. That caught Megumi off guard, though she had to admit it was a good idea.

"Fine, give me the scroll, and I'll watch after it." She said, holding out her hand. He put the heaven scroll in her hand and she put it in one of her weapon pouches. She remained sitting while the two got up and walked off, only after asking her if she could feel where the nearest cell was. She didn't know so they went off in a random direction.

She stood up quickly when she heard a person coming towards her. she pulled out a kunai and faced the direction the vibrations were coming from. She relaxed slightly when she heard a slightly familiar voice.

"Megumi, there you are!" Akira's voice said. But it didn't sound exactly like his. She had a really good memory, and his voice was burned into it, and this one didn't sound exactly like it.

"What are you doing here Akira? Where's you're team?" she asked suspiciously.

"Not sure, but that's not important, how are you doing?" he asked. She eyes narrowed and she rushed over to him, and held the kunai to his throat.

"You're not Akira!" she snarled.

"y-yeah I am!" he gasped.

"No your not! Akira wouldn't say his teams not important because his twin sister is on his team! He cares for her so much more than anyone else! And he wouldn't be that direct with me, saying I'm more important than anything, we agreed, strictly friends." She said. Her face sunk slightly, and then she went back to the fierce expression.

"Your good kid." The imposter said. With a poof of smoke appeared a boy from Sunagakure. She gave him a deep cut on his stomach and then nearly cut off his fingers. The boy retreated and Megumi stumbled back to the tree. She shivered and had a fearful expression. Already someone was after her and her teammates were to far away to come and help her if she needed it. She sat there and extended her blind eye jutsu so she would be able to see if they were coming back in advanced.

-With Akira and Koyuki's cell-

Akira ducked and let Haruko jump over him to attack the cell with the scroll they needed. Koyuki charged, doing several hand signs as she did. Her chocolate brown hair falling out of her ponytails as she ran. Akira pulled out shuriken and threw them at the one about to hit Koyuki with some unknown jutsu.

"Thanks bro!" she said as she rammed the Konoha ninja into a tree. He moaned, a little bit of blood dripping down his chin. Koyuki went to the next opponent, closely followed by Akira. They attacked him together while Haruko went against the final member.

"Haruko, do you need help?" Akira asked when he saw his teammate go flying. He skidded to a halt on his back.

"Yeah, that would be nice!" he gasped, rubbing his head. Akira ran over to the other ninja and went against him while Haruko caught his breath. Koyuki went to punch her opponent in the face but he swatted her hand away. She tried again but he did the same.

"Hold still!" she yelled, going for a double punch. He blocked both and kicked her away. The boy did several hand signs and his hand began to glow. He charged at Koyuki and pressed his glowing hand on her leg. She screamed when she felt like the muscle in her leg tear. The boy pulled out a kunai and sliced her other leg so she wouldn't get up and stay up. He put the glowing hand on her arm and she screamed again.

"Koyuki?!" Akira yelled, spinning around and looking at his sister. The boy he's going up against hit him on the back of his head, knocking him to the ground.

"What are you doing to me?" Koyuki asked, looking up at the boy and holding onto her soar arm.

"Chakra scalpel. I'm a medic-ninja." He said, doing a palm press with his glowing hand on her stomach. Koyuki gasped in pain, blood dripping from her mouth. His hand stopped glowing and he pulled out a paper bomb.

"Good luck getting this off." He said, putting it on her arm and setting the time.

"You're insane!" Koyuki cried, tears running down her face. He waved her words away like a pesky fly and turned away. Koyuki, ignoring the pain, ripped the bomb off of her and dragged herself over to the boy and put it on the rim of his pants. He looked down and saw the bomb on him.

"You crazy bitch!" he yelled as he kicked her in the face, breaking her nose.

Akira and Haruko covered their face with their arms when the bomb went off. The ninja they went against was knocked out and they grabbed the scroll from him before it went off. Once everything settled down they ran over to their teammate.

"Koyuki!" Akira screamed, running over to his sister. She was sprawled on the ground, covered in blood, her arm nearly blown to bits. Her face was burned in several places and she was wheezing as she tried to catch her breath. She saw him as he bent over and gave a fairly small smile, then closed her eyes. Akira listened as she breathed and he picked her up bridal style.

"Haruko, lets hurry." He said, running away from the battle field, so to speak, and right to the tower.

"Akira, it's still about a day away." Haruko informed. Akira swore under his breath and continued.

-With Megumi's cell-

"Megumi what happened?" Amaya asked as she and Hiroshi ran over to her. Megumi jumped up and held kunai near their throats.

"Megumi relax!" Hiroshi gasped, noticing how jittery she was being.

"I won't until I know it's you for real." She said. She turned to Amaya and asked, "When's my birthday?"

"June 23." Amaya sighed.

"What's my apartment number?" Megumi asked her.

"Apartment number 312." Amaya said calmly. Megumi lowered the kunai and turned to Hiroshi.

"What did my dad give me before the chunin exams started?" she asked him. She was asking them questions only they knew the answer to; it was her way of seeing if they were imposters or not.

"The necklace he got from lady Tsunade." He said. Megumi nodded and put away the kunai, and pulled out the necklace she was hiding under her shirt. She remembered when her father gave it to her.

-Flashback-

"Megumi, come with me, I want to give you something." Naruto said, poking his head in her doorway. She nodded and went to his room. She sat on his bed and waited for what ever he was doing.

"Here, granny Tsunade gave me this when I was around your age. She says it's unlucky, but it was pretty lucky for me." he said as he put a necklace around her neck. Megumi grabbed it and held it tight with a smile on her face. Naruto bent down and kissed her forehead, just like Tsunade did to him.

"Good luck in the chunin exams." He said. She gave him a hug and went back to her room to finish getting ready.

-End flashback-

"What's gotten you so worked up?" Amaya asked, sitting down next to her and looking at a few scratches she got while she and Hiroshi were looking around.

"Some guy impersonated Akira and tried to get me while you were gone." Megumi shuddered. "Hey, did you get any scrolls?" she asked after a minute.

"Nope. It's getting late so maybe we should look around more tomorrow." Amaya said.

"Yeah, but can we make a few booby traps before we call it a night?" Megumi asked. The two nodded and got up to set the traps.

-Day two-

"I wonder how Akira and Koyuki are doing." Megumi thought out loud as they made their way through the forest.

"I'm sure their fine." Amaya reassured. Megumi nodded and followed Hiroshi. Whenever Megumi stopped they would too, just to see if she felt anyone coming their way. It seemed like no one was around them.

"How are we going to find anyone?" Amaya asked after several hours of walking.

"…Megumi…how far is your blind eye going right now?" Hiroshi asked.

"Um…about ten meters." She said.

"How far can you make it?" he asked.

"Don't know. I never tried that yet. I could see." She said. She concentrated hard and slammed her palms to the ground.

"How far are you?" he asked.

"At least thirty-five meters, I can't go any farther." Megumi informed.

"Can you keep it at that?" he asked. Megumi waited for a moment.

"For a few minutes, but the farther it goes the more chakra it eats up." she said.

"Ok we'll stop for the day when can't take much more." He said as they continued. Megumi was beginning to wonder how many groups were down by then, but then again it was only the second day.

"What time is it?" Megumi asked.

"Not sure but the suns going to go down soon." Amaya said. Megumi nodded and continued to try and stretch out her jutsu even farther. She could tell the difference between animals and people, and she would warn them if she felt something dangerous. At one point she thought she felt someone coming to them, but then there was nothing. She felt drained of chakra after an hour of walking, and before she could say anything she collapsed.

-With Akira and Koyuki's team-

"Are we near the tower at all?!" Akira asked angrily as he ran. They hadn't stopped at all, trying to make it to the tower before it was too late. Koyuki was on his back like a piggyback ride, her head bobbing on his shoulder and the back of his neck as they jumped in the tree tops. Haruko was behind Akira and was staring at Koyuki with a sad expression; he couldn't believe what happened to her.

"Not sure. Just keep heading for it." Haruko said after a minute of silence. Akira's ears perked when he heard something right in his ear. It sounded like Koyuki.

"A…ki...ra…" she mumbled. He stopped suddenly and looked at her over his shoulder.

"Bro…"she smiled slightly and raised her hand. She patted his cheek weakly and her eyes flickered open.

"Koyuki, we're almost to the tower, hold on!" he said when he saw her staring blankly at him, like she almost wasn't aware of what was going on. She shook her head slowly and buried her face in the back of his neck.

"Bro…it…it hurts…" she mumbled. Akira grew frightened and made his way through the forest faster.

"Wh-what hurts?" he asked, straining his ears to hear her.

"e-everything…" she said. Her breathing was very shallow and it sounded like it was painful.

"Koyuki! Sis hang on!" Akira screamed in frustration when he heard her. She shook her head again and took in a sharp breath.

"Koyuki…!" Akira said, tears starting to form.

"L-love ya bro…" she whispered. Akira sobbed as he ran. He wouldn't let his sister die.

-Day three-

"Megumi…Megumi, wake up!" Amaya said, patting her cheeks. They slept through the night with no problems, and before they left the forced Megumi to eat a food pill Amaya had while she slept, just so it would fuel her up to make sure her chakra would start to go up again. Hiroshi came over and dragged her to the river they set up camp next to, and dunked her in. Megumi screamed in surprise and went back to the grass.

"Oh my god! What was that for?" she yelled, wringing out her soaked hair.

"It's already midday. You were sleeping for almost twenty four hours!" Hiroshi said in an annoyed tone.

"You're getting jittery too huh?" Amaya asked as she dipped her hands in the water and splashed her face. Hiroshi didn't say anything and watched as Megumi was getting ready to do her jutsu.

"So your chakra is back up now?" Amaya asked after the jutsu was activated. Megumi nodded and wandered closer to the trees and waited. She rubbed her eyes when a sudden flash of light went off in her head. She had no idea what that was but it was bright, and she didn't like it. Megumi perked up and waved her teammates over to her.

"Someone's coming." she said when they came near. They got ready for the team to pass them and when Megumi did the signal that they were closer and pointed in the direction they were going. They charged after them. There were three boys in the group. One had blue hair, one had a mask on and the other had round sunglasses on.

"Well, well, look at the newbie's." the one with the sunglasses said with a smirk when the realized the thirteen year olds behind them

"Well now Matsu, two little girls, maybe we should have some fun with them." the blue haired one said to the one in the mask. Haruko stood in front of the girls in a defensive position. Amaya's face turned red as he did, and then she looked at the other boys with a fierce expression.

"Ho ho! It seems they have a little protector!" said the one in the mask.

"Yasuo, take care of the boy, will you?" said Matsu, looking at the one with sunglasses.

"My pleasure." He said, stretching out his neck and looking at him with an eager expression. He ran at him so fast Hiroshi never really saw it, but Yasuo wasn't the only fast one, and Hiroshi was faster. He ran at him and held out his fist. Yasuo ran right into the fist, ending up breaking his nose in the process. Hiroshi kicked Yasuo in the gut and then punched him in the jaw, sending him flying into the air.

"Nobody can beat Hiroshi in Taijutsu." Amaya said, watching him. It was true, the only person that could outrun him was probably Rock Lee, and the same goes for frontal assault. Hiroshi ran up to the girls again and stared at the remaining ones angrily.

"Seems we have some talent on our hands. He's probably the only one that can fight in his group. Am I right Kuri?" Matsu said to the blue haired boy. Megumi snarled and made a cross with her fingers.

"Shadow clone jutsu!" she yelled and with a poof of smoke several more of her appeared. They charged at Matsu and attacked him full on. They continued relentlessly, hitting him in the face gut, and chest until he was out cold, which didn't take long. All the clones disappeared and Megumi ran back to her friends with several fresh bruises on her face and arms.

"What hopeless losers." Kuri said, shaking his head as he stared at his unconscious partners.

"How I got stuck with you I'll never know." He said to himself, fishing around in one of the pockets on his shirt.

"Now tell me, what scroll do you have?" he asked somewhat politely.

"The heaven scroll. And you?" Amaya asked. Kuri tossed him their scroll.

"We have two others already. Take them, and we'll meet up in the later exams, hopefully we'll be going against each other." He said, going over and supporting his fellow cell members. Megumi, Amaya and Hiroshi stared in disbelief.

"W-why would you give us a scroll without fighting?" Amaya asked.

"Like I said, we have another set already. Let's just see how you'll fare in the next parts." He said, and he disappeared in a whirl of leaves with his teammates.

"Cool, now we can go to the tower!" Amaya said, looking at the scroll.

Please review, I beg you!! Oh, and hopefully by then you find out if Koyuki is gonna be ok or not.
