Disclaimer: I keep forgetting these=( but yea don't own Naruto so blah=P oh and I don't own Air Jordan's or Nike. Even though I would be mad rich if I did.
Chapter VII:
Part I: My big news, great.
A couple hours later I went to the bridge with team seven. They all said they liked my headband and Sakura said she wanted a pink one. I told her, that would be way to damn much pink on one person. So now here we are walking, all tired as can be, and not in the mood to train at all. We were supposed to meet Kakashi at 6 but seeing as how they didn't even go to sleep until six, and I still haven't went to sleep we settled on coming down around 8ish, maybe closer to nine.
We got to the bridge and Sakura started complaining about how she didn't even have time to blow dry her hair.
" Sakura, I am to damn tired to hear your complaining, normally I would block you out, but I'm have a hard enough time dealing with this damn headache, so knock it off. That goes for everybody." Yeah, it's safe to say I'm a bitch when I don't get my sleep. So sue me, really I would when and take all your damn money. So now, I was leaning against the edge of the railing looking over into the water. I didn't even know there were any rivers here. Well guess you learn something new everyday. I got lost in my thoughts and zoned out. Well until my headache increased ten fold.
" You're late." Damn, I really need some aspirin. Naruto and Sakura were busy yelling at Kakashi and I just shook my head.
"Well, a black cat crossed my path so I have to take the long way around." whoa really, that was pathetic.
" You know if you are going to lie, at least make it believable seriously your scared of a cat. What kind of ninja are you." I said in a bitchy attitude. Kakashi looked back and forth between team seven and finally back to me.
" What is wrong with you, is it that time of the month?." I shot a glare at him was not in the mood for games. Kakashi cleared his throat before addressing the munchins.
" Now, I'm sure you are all aware of the chunnin exams that are coming up, so as you're sensi, I have suggested you to take it. However, it is your own free will to take the exam or not." I stopped my attitude changed dramatically.
" Whoa, wait. You signed them up for the chunnin exams, are you sure they are ready I mean really there are some pretty scary people in the village for the exam, I don't know if they should take it this time around." I said, my eyes widening. I never watched much Naruto, but I definitely know what happened during the chunnin exams, and let me tell, I. Don't. Like. Snakes.
" This coming from the girl that studied and practiced a week before taking a chunnin exam and skipping over genin entirely." my mouth dropped open. Man I am such a hypocrite. I guess he is right, they have had more training and experience than me. I sighed and shrugged my shoulders.
" You right, I guess I just overacted. Well I guess we will be seeing each other than since I am the third protractor and all." I said lightly.
" What! You never told us that." Sakura and Naruto yelled together. I cringed at their volume level.
" Seriously guys you had two hours of sleep last night, how in the hell do you have all this damn energy, I mean seriously, do you to have a volume knob, because my headache is seriously about to kill me and you two aren't making it any better." I exasperated, then proceeded to shaking my head.
" You didn't tell us you were going to be a protractor in the exams, let alone the most important one." Naruto said a little quieter.
"What do you mean the most important one." I asked curiously.
" Everybody knows that the third fight is when the noble people and such come and watch all the competitors that could become chunnin." Sasuke said. " Well I guess not everybody." know it all.
" Yeah whatever I guess it must have slipped my mind or something. Oh well." I shrugged again. " So is that all you had to tell us or what Kakashi. Because I am sleep deprived and want to go lay in my nice comfy bed." A yawn escaping my lips. I stretched before looking for an answer.
" nope, that's all, see you tomorrow kiddos." He walked away.
" Oi, Kakashi, I'll see you tomorrow at noon. Right because it's my ass if you are late. Got it!" I yelled at his retreating figure. He kept walking but waved a hand over his should. That ass he thinks he is so fucking cool. I turned back towards the sleepy team seven.
" So, Naruto and I are leaving for my bed because I am tired as hell, I'll see y'all tomorrow if y'all decide to show up for the exam, although I am not holding it against you if you don't." I said dragging Naruto from the bridge and began my journey in search of my bed.
Chapter VII:
Part II: meetings and scaring genin. Fun, not!
The next morning I hopped out of bed and woke Naruto up. No we didn't do anything he just crashed over at my place. I didn't want him to sleep alone, and I didn't want to sleep alone either.
" Hey, babe, you need to get ready the first exam is today." he nodded and slowly got out of bed. I laughed before jumping in the shower. I did my thing you know, washing my hair, shaving and what not, then I hopped out.
I went into my room and started looking for something to wear. I glanced at the clock and it read 9:30. huh.
" Hey Naruto, hurry up and get ready, we are going shopping." What better why to work of nerve than party, well shopping of course. Besides I wanted to get Naruto a new outfit or two for the exam. Probably something orange just not as obnoxiously bright. Yup that sounds about right. Naruto took about ten minutes in the shower and I had gotten dressed in some black stone washed skinny jeans and an electric green baby doll shirt with some black gladiator slippers. Hell I even painted my toes and fingers heck of it. What I brought these clothes with me to Hershey park, so now. Naruto came out the shower and just looked at me.
" What you don't like it?" I asked playfully. He shook his head.
" I've never seen clothes like that before, it's not from around here." He said quietly.
" Let me let you in on a little secret, I am not from around here. I mean have you ever met somebody like me before." He shook his head before getting dressed. " Wait, hold on, just put on some shorts and a tee, we are going to find you something less puffy." I said slowly not wanting to upset his feeling. He shrugged and put on black shorts and a white tee.
" Is there something wrong Naruto babe, you seem really quite today." I said quietly rubbing his shoulders, man he is tense.
" Nothing, just nerves and all." Hold the phones Naruto is nervous wow, I think the apocalypse is coming.
"It's okay Naruto, I'm nervous to. I'm nervous for you, for me, for Sakura, and even Sasuke. I'm worried, but you know what. I know you can do it, because you guys make a great team, and I also know this, Naruto Uzumaki is not intimidated by anything, not even a stupid test. So how about this you go out there and give it your all an I promise I will be cheering you on all the way!" I said trying to raise his spirits. " Come on lets go shopping now, it will take you mind of things for a little bit." I said walking to the door. I looked the house because Saki left for a mission yesterday. I miss her already, tear tear. Haha man I kill myself.
"You kill me to cub, you kill me to."
" Yo, who was even talking to you seriously, I can't even enjoy my own head."
" You are so ungrateful." Slam, slam, slam, shit I didn't know my head had that many doors I wonder what else is up there?. She is so moody now I wonder what her problem is. Oh well if she wants to tell me she can tell me, I have other things to worry about right now. Like shopping and there is the store right there.
We walked in a small shop that had some interesting clothes out in the window. There was a small ding as the door swung open and the shop owner smiled warmly at us.
" Good morning, could I help you in anyway." She said smiling, she was probably in her 50's.
"Yes actually, my boyfriend needs some new shinobi attire preferably a dark orange or red color, price doesn't matter." I said, trying to get this over with as soon as possible. The thing is I love shopping and once I get started I cant stop. It is quite sad actually, but anyway. That lady went to the back of the shop and came back with a bundle of clothes in her hand. She handed them to me and I pulled out a deep orange beater, with mesh to go underneath and loose black shorts that looked like Neji's. I smiled and handed them to Naruto.
" Go try these on and then come out so I can see how you look." He looked unsure but I shooed him away. I turned back to the lady.
" So, how long have you had this shop?" making small talk is the easiest way to pass time. Th lady smiled.
"Longer than you have been on this world child." I nodded my head.
" So, do you have any children?" I asked curiously. She nodded.
" Her name is Saki." My eyes grew wide. I think I stopped breathing for a second.
" So, you saki's mom! I live with her! She is like the best person ever! What, what about saki's sister." I asked timidly, wow I didn't know her mom was in the village she made it seem like she had nobody left.
" Ever since the mission, Saki and I haven't been on the best of terms."
" Oh I'm sorry, thats."
" Oi, kitty I'm done." Naruto called from the back of the shop.
" Excuse me, Coming rug rat!" I ran towards the back where the dressing room was. He came out the dressing room, and my eyes nearly fell out of my head. He, It, Naruto!
" Oh, my, motherfucking!, god! Naruto we are some buying that! And one in red, and yellow." I couldn't believe it, his muscles we bulging out of his shirt, the mesh almost looked to tight! " You don't even have to change, yup just keep that one. Come on lets go pay for this." I walked to the front of the shop and grandma was smiling.
" I take it you like it dear?" she asked.
" Love it, it's incredible. Do you have some in red and yellow and a couple pairs of those shorts, and we will take them." I said eagerly.
" Of course dear." She went in to the storage area and Naruto came to the front, and stood beside me.
" You know Naruto, you look really hot in that, I think I might straighten your hair when we get back, then you will have to beat the fan girls off with a stick." I whispered to him. He looked like he was considering it before shaking his head.
" Nah, you are the only one I want, I don't need to straighten my hair, you like it just the way it is." I smirked lightly.
" Oh how right you are, rug rat, oh how right you are." I smiled devilishly and turned back towards grandma when she came out the storage area. She rang everything up and I paid.
" Please come again dear."
" Sure thing." I called as me and Naruto made our way back to his apartment, so he could put his stuff away.
Naruto began putting his things away and I sat on his bed watching him.
" Are you still nervous Naruto, I mean there is nothing to worry about if you are, I'll be there the whole time!" Naruto looked over at me a blank expression on his face. Why has he become so solem lately, it's kinda scaring me, I miss his happy attitude. He turned his back to me and a frown apperaed on my face. I got off the bed and slowly made my way to him. I wrapped my arms around him tightly and put my face in the crook of his shoulder.
" Tell me what is wrong Naruto, you're scaring me, I don't like to see you like this, let me help you." I squeezed him tighter, making it almost uncomfortable.
"I'm just a little nervous, I don't want to let you down kitty chan." I smiled.
" The only way to let me down is by not doing your best and saying you can't. Go out there and show them what you're made of. You believed in me, and I am returning it ten fold. What do you want to be when you grow up." I said suddenly, he looked taken back before settling back down.
" I want to be hokage, so that the village recognizes me." I
nodded my head.
" You will be a great hokage, but the only way
to get there is by doing your best. Remember that don't let anybody
tell you differently." I pulled away and smiled at the little rug
rat. He smiled back finally becoming more like the Naruto we all know
and love. " So, I have to get going, why don't you go meet up with
Sakura and Sasuke." I pecked him on the cheek for good luck before
jumping out the window in search of the copy cat.
I first went to the compound where all his dogs were kept and taken care of. He wasn't there and I almost was attacked by a little pug looking dog.
" Wait don't you want to feel my feet, they are soft. Come on, I can shake." Um what, I looked down at the dog and bent down on his level.
" How about this, you help me find Kakashi before noon, and I will shake, hi five, anything. I just have to find that guy got it."
" Oh, you want me to use my smell to find him?" He is kinda of slow.
" Yeah, so lets go find him I'm going to be late then it will be my ass, and his." I said melodramatically.
" Just make sure you can keep up." I smirked.
" Sure thing, err, what's your name. My name is Arianna you can just call me Ari, or noel whatever one you like."
" My name is Pakkun, Kakashi was ever so nice to let me out for a while." Um okay, I don't have time for small talk it's 11:30 now
" Oh, okay. So do you know where he is?" this dog better know or I swear I will get Sezert on him.
" Yea, he should be at the M.I.A. Stone, or he is just walking around. We will go to the stone first if he isn't there I will just follow his trail." I nodded my head. We jumped through the trees on our way to the M.I.A. Stone. We arrived there around 11:45 and no Kakashi. Just my fucking luck.
" Well he ain't here and I have 15 minutes before I will be late. So lets go." He caught the trail and I followed him all the way around the village before we got to the hot springs.
" Well his trail ends here." I deadpanned there is no way I am going in there. I stood there for 10 minutes, which officially made me late.
" Well, sorry Pukkan, I have to go. See you later." I walked to the Hokage building. There is no use hurrying if I am already late.
I made it the Hokage building at 11:15. The secretary looked at me weirdly.
" Stop looking at me, I know you like my outfit, but stop glaring holes, in it. I am going to the meeting that started 15 minutes ago." I said emotion void in my voice. She just looked at me so I made my way down the hallway. When I got to the door I was a little hesitant before walking into the room.
I tried to be quite in get in unnoticed but as soon as the door opened all talking stopped and everybody's eyes were on me, including Hatake. That fucking prick.
" Ah, nice to see you have joined us Ari chan." My eye twitched slightly. I slowly turned my gaze of the scarecrow.
" My apologies, Hokage same, apparently Kakashi wasn't at his house, or the stone, or the compound. So then I was like the hokage is going to have my ass if he's late, then I get here late because I was looking for him, and find that this stupid fuck."
" That's enough Ari chan. It is completely understandable." I bowed slightly before glaring over at Kakashi he flinched slightly and looked away, but my gaze never wavered. I kept my gaze on him the remainder of the meeting. Everybody was dismissed but the protractors so I stayed and watched Hatake jump out the window the second the hokage dismissed the. It was quiet funny to see him talk while I glared at him, he looked dare I say, scared. Good, he should be because when I get my hand on him I.
" Now, you three will be the proctors for the exam. Ibiki, you will be the first exam, the rules are entirely up to you. Ari chan, will be there with you as an assistant. Anko you have got the second exam. Go to the forest and make sure everything is set up. Arianna you are the in charge of proctoring the third round. The sand Kazekage is coming, so I need you to be sure that the ten or so remaining will not waste his time." He paused.
" what if there are more than 10 or so people left?" He pondered on this for a moment.
" If we have a good group this year, then hold a preliminary round. They will go one on one until there are ten to twelve people left. Then there will be a month break to get ready for the final round. Sound good?" We nodded. " Anko, you are dismissed. As for you two, come looking in the crystal ball with me, so we can see exactly what is going on." Anko poofed away. I stoop in awe.
" Yo! How did she do that?" I asked dumb stricken.
" It was a jutsu to get her to the forest of death faster. The snake seal will allow you to do that by focusing chakra and thinking of the place you want to go. Try it. It's easy." Ibiki told me. I nodded my head and tried it. At first I didn't go anywhere and they told me to think clearly. I nodded again. I closed my eyes and put my hands in the snake symbol. I landed on top of the Hokage's desk with a poof.
" Ta da!" I said my hands in the air. " Hey Ibiki, what if we do this thingy into the classroom! That would be so cool!" I said I jumped of the desk and landed beside him.
" Well, I suppose we could. The other chunnin are right outside the hallway so yes, I suppose we could."
" Yes, thank you Ibiki!" I yelled jumping into his arms.
" I think it would be best if you leave now, it seems the sound ninja are getting into fights." We nodded were about to leave.
" Wait hold on give me a sec."
"Hey Athena do you think there is a way to make this jutsu cooler. Like I don't know maybe flames"
" I like the way you think cub. Instead of the snake put your middle fingers up."
" Thanks Athena, I appreciate it."
" Okay lets go." He nodded his head and I smirked. We both left with a poof.
The sensation was strange. It was like you were being pulled every way but not really being pulled at all. Ibiki got there first. His loud pop silenced the room, and everybody was looking towards him when I started materializing. The flames started at my feet, circling their way upward until I was fully in the classroom.
It was safe to say that everybody's mouth dropped, even Ibiki's. I pulled my hands up in a gun shaped and pointed my finger to my my mouth and blew slightly.
" Oh yea, I'm hot." I said seductively. Ibiki cleared his throat gaining my attention, I raised a finely waxed eyebrow at him.
" Oh. Hey sound ninja." They looked over at me. " Stop fucking around." Ibiki sighed and stepped forward blocking me from view. I smiled and waved at the rookie nine. They looked at me funny, probably due to my outfit, but it was most likely because I was at the front. Yea I hope it is the latter.
Ibiki started explaining the rules and the point system. I'm sure it didn't make sense to a lot of people, but I really don't care. It is my job to make sure I don't catch anybody cheating...poorly anyway.
I smirked to myself as the papers were handed out. This is going to be one of the best hours every.
Once everybody got their papers, some immediately started writing. I took note that three of them were chunnin in disguise. Clever, they needed somebody to cheat off of right. Some of the stupider onces started cheating. They looked to their neighbors and took answer. I marked a certain kid off he was at 3 and you get 5. Man we were only 15 minutes through the exam, I pulled out a kunia ready to dismiss the genin from the test. A couple teams had been dismissed shortly afterwards. The same kid as before cheated for his last time. I smirked and flung the kunia onto his desk, stabbing the paper in place and missing his hand by a centimeter.
" Number 167 you have been caught cheating 5 times, you and you team have failed. Good bye." I said in a sickly sweet voice.
" I did not. I don't know what you are talking about. I am not leaving." So he wants a fight. I smirked evilly that made the people in the front row sit back a little bit.
" I'm sorry would you repeat that please. I don't think I heard you correctly." I said a smile on my face but voice dripping with malice.
" I am not leaving." He stuttered. I smirked and nodded my head, and disappeared out of sight, appearing right in front of his face inches away from him.
" I don't think you are aware of who you are messing with. Not only have you cheated poorly. You have accused me of lying. So now I am giving you this one piece of advice. If you knew what was best for your healthy you would take your team. And. Get. Out. The. Exam Room. NOW!" I replied icily Athena voice seeping through my own like sand and my eyes flashed a black. He jumped away and ran out the room his teammates following him.
I smiled my eyes changing back to purple. Huh that was interesting. I turned around and saw most of the room was staring at me. I smiled at them who looked at me in fear.
" Anybody else want to leave, while they still can." I said my eyes flashing back to black. They all turned away from me and continued their exam. I saw Naruto looking at me and a smiled. I turned away from and saw that I was standing right next to Gaara, who looked as...impassive as ever. I winked at him and walked to the front of the room. It was forty minutes trough the test I looked at Ibiki who nodded at me in approval. I smiled widely at his scarred face and he just shook his head, mumbling something about Naruto. Huh. I looked over to see him sweating bullets. Wow he looks a lot more nervous than he did this morning.
Five minutes had passed and it was time for the tenth question.
" It is time for the tenth question. However first you must make a decision. Do you want to take the question or leave and fail the exam." The outraged complaints and such.
" What kind of decision is that. Of course we are going to take the question." Why are people such hot heads. The murmuring got louder. I switched my purple eyes back to black and borrowed Athena's voice again.
" Oi, you all need to shut up. Besides, if you take the question and then fail it, you will never be promoted. You will stay genin. Permanently." I said standing on top of the desk. I looked to Ibiki to continue.
" What Arianna-san has said is true. If you choose to take the question and get it wrong then you will be genin permanently. However if you skip the question and come back next year, maybe you won't have me or her as your proctor and could be come chunnin. It is however your choice and your choice alone. If you don't want to take the question your number will be recorded and you and your team are dismissed." Several people hands shot up.
" Numbers 123, 15, 67, 93, 140 and their teammates are dismissed and you fail." I said my tone becoming my own but my eyes stayed black. Just to keep the intimidation going. I wonder how threatening I looked in electric green and jeans? Oh well it doesn't matter. I looked around the room and Naruto raised his hand. No. He wouldn't would he. My thoughts were proven incorrect as he slammed his hand down on the desk.
" You don't scare me! I won't be underestimated, I will become Hokage even if I do fail this question! I am not giving up, because that is my nindo, my ninja way! I don't care what you throw at me!" He said loudly. I looked at him a huge smiling on my face my eyes flashed back to purple. I then looked around the room and saw that Naruto's little speech gave everybody confidence. I looked at Ibiki who looked at me and he smiled at me because I was already smiling we nodded our heads at the same time.
" Congratulations." I started.
" You all pass." Ibiki finished. I smiled largely and saw that everybody was sitting in their seats.
" Oi, for people who just passed the first exam they don't look to happy do they." I said to Ibiki.
" They rare confused." He said reading their expressions, his voice professional.
" Naturally." I responded my voice equally professional even though I had no idea why they were confused.
" What about the tenth question." Temari said loudly. I looked at her funny.
" Um sweetie the tenth question was the decision to take the question or not. Wow you are all kinda slow huh?" I said confusedly. I felt Ibiki's gaze on me. I looked over at him and saw that he was glaring. " What, I thought it was obvious I mean I got it." He shook his head before continuing.
" Being a chunnin means leading mission. Your team is your responsibility. The purpose of the tenth question was to see who was willing to give everything to complete the mission." He was interrupted by Sakura.
" So the other nine questions were a wast of time?" She said. I shook my head but let Ibiki explain.
" The purpose of the first nine questions were to test your information gathering skills. On a mission information is everything it could make or break a mission." He paused to take of his headband off revealing his scarred face. I heard a audible gasp from the crowed. I glared at those I heard. " Information is what caused these scars. I was tortured to get information on my mission and the whereabouts of my team. Chunnin isn't as easy as genin, chunnin are superior they direct and lead the other members of the team if you are not able to handle that leave this room before you are the cause of you are your teams death." They all flinched at that part, well except gaara he looked like he couldn't careless. I looked out the window and saw something coming.
" Hey Ibiki. If I were you I would duck right now." I said slowly he looked at me before looking out the window and sighing.
" She's early." He said, early.
" That's Anko!" The windows broke and Anko unrolled herself from a banner that she hung from the wall. She landed in front of us the banner hiding us from the genin. I looked at ibiki and mouthed 'is she retarded' he shrugged and walked from behind the banner. I shook my head once more before following him.
" 73, you let 73 pass. Your exam must have been to easy." I glared at her before smirking.
" If it wasn't for Naruto most of them wouldn't be, Naruto totally kicked ass in this exam. Oh and by the way, your early and made yourself look like a complete idiot." I told her loudly making sure everybody heard. She glared back at me before shrugging it off.
" It doesn't matter, I'll cut them down by at least half. Lets see how Naruto does in training grounds 44. Of the forest of death." She smirked at me then to the scared looking genin. My eyes widened slightly before I answering her.
" Huh, well I would rather go in there than fight you. Oh wait no I wouldn't if I remember correctly I'll just get your snakes on you." I said smiling evilly. She walked over to me and I had to look up slightly because she was slightly taller than me.
" You know what brat."
" What." I humored her.
"I want a rematch." She said icily. I laughed, seriously I was holding my stomach. The room went quiet. I immediately stopped laughing surprising some people.
" You know, Sasuke said the same thing. He ended up passed out on the table." I said. The people that were at the party started laughing lightly. " Put if you want a rematch. Pick the time place, hell you can even pick the rules. It don't matter, if you lose to me once. You will loose to me again." My eyes flashing a solid black, no pupil or anything. She sneered but nodded. " Don't you have an exam to do proctor?" I said turning from her and looking at Naruto. He smiled and I waved.
" Right come on brats to the forest of death." She hopped out the window, and I tolled my eyes. The chunnin wanna-Be's followed her out the window. I choose to stay there. Once they all left I dropped my demon eyes and turned to Ibiki who was tyeing his headband back on.
" She will them down by half huh. Is she exaggerating or should I be worried." I said looking out the window at Naruto's retreating form.
" No she was telling the truth. The forest of death will kill these kids if they don't kill each other first. The object of this exam is to have two scrolls, the heaven and the earth scroll, and make it to the center tower in five days. They only start off with one scroll and only your team knows what they have. Everybody is foe and your teammates are your only allies. If one dies then you all fail." I paled slightly remembering how Orochimaru bites Sasuke. Oh man what am I going to do! I looked back at Ibiki who also had a worried look on his face.
" So what do we do now." I asked quietly.
" We wait, with the other jounin." He turned around and I followed him out of the room. How did I get this job anyway, I'm just a chunnin, never been on a mission before either. Huh how strange. Oh well, I like my job it's fun scaring people. I might even drive one of them into a mental hospital. How cool would it be to make somebody go crazy. So what I'm a bit of a sadistic but I'm no changing my mind. It would be fucking awesome, and that's all I am saying on the matter.
By the time I finished think about driving people crazy, I found we were in a little room. The rookie nine sensi's where there and a couple others. I ignored the ones I didn't know and sat down across from Hatake, glaring. He looked at me then leaned away slightly.
" You realize I spent an hour with your fucking dog, who wouldn't stop bugging me about how soft his damn paws are." I yelled drawing attention from other sensi's.
" Now, Arianna calm down. I was there on time. You didn't get in any trouble so I don't know what the problem is." He said in a quieter but still a loud enough for the others to hear.
" The problem is. Huh I guess there really isn't a problem, but point blank you fucking owe me." I said my glare never changing. Just for the hell of it I turned my eyes black and leaned in closer to Kakashi.
" Alright anything just stop looking at me like that, it's creepy." I leaned back and smiled my eyes returning to normal.
" Good and I know just the way. You see the other night Sasuke dared me to do something and I really don't want to do it. Next time you see him you tell him that I did it." I said then turned my attention to Asuma and Kurenia.
" So hey guys hows it going?" I said politely. Ibiki laughed. I turned to him as did the other jounin.
" That just reminded me of back at the exam. You know when that kid didn't want to leave. You went all scary on him and then smiled and waved at Naruto. Their faces looked just like the genin's. I think you might be a little bit bipolar," I smiled at him and shrugged.
" I get told that a lot. I think it's just I know how to change emotions really fast it comes in handy when, I guess it's just a habit now." I said carelessly.
" You are strange Ari san." I looked weirdly at Kurenia.
" Yes Ari san your youthfulness amazes me." Gai added.
" Ari San, Ibiki called me that to. Why are you guys referring to me as san, I mean y'all are jounin I just made chunnin and have never been on a mission in my life? I really don't see where all this respect is coming come." I said confusedly. Asuma smiled.
" I don't know if you remember this kiddo, but you pretty much handed all our asses to us, at the same time!" He said loudly, making even more jounin than last time look our way. I looked at a few of them who seemed to be paying extra attention to our conversation.
" You know if you want I can hand you a transcript of our whole conversation, and each of their profiles if you want." I said icily they turned their heads in the other direction as did the other jounin. " Nosy ass bastards, all up in my kool-aid. Damn. Anyway, about that no hard feelings right. I think Anko is a little mad." Ibiki laughed again,who never knew he could be so...outgoing, or annoying.
" Mad, that girl wants your head, you pretty much belittled her in front of the whole class of genin." He said laughing heartily.
" Well she started it, I think. So yeah no hard feelings right?" I looked at Kurenia, Asama, Gai, and Kakashi. They all shook their heads, except for Kakashi.
" Before I say no hard feelings what exactly was the dare, I am curious." He said. I paled and chuckled nervously. I tried changing the subject.
" So, about that weather. Yea that rain was terrible." I said.
" Um, it hasn't rained recently Ari chan. But I am curious as well, what exactly was the dare?" Kurenia said. Asuma nodded his head as did Gai and Ibiki.
" Um, so who's worried about the genin! I know I am, oh forest of death he he scary." their eyes shadowed over and they all leaned forward.
" Tora, as your superiors we demand that you tell us the what the dare was, immediately." Kakashi said mechanically. I looked over at Ibiki who also had that clouded look in his eye. I laughed again this time for real.
" Okay if you really want to know Kakashi sensi. Don't say I didn't warn you. The dare was to." I paused the leaned over even further in anticipation. I leaned over Kakashi's already bending form. " to strip for you." I said seductively. I pulled back and looked at the jounins who didn't hear. That was meant for Kakashi and he is the only one who will ever know. Kakashi pulled back slowly and I winked in at him. He saw it and started sweating.
" Wow, that must have been a really bad dare, if it was Kakashi sweating like that." Said Gai.
" Oh yes it is very...naughty." I said. Kakashi stood up abruptly.
" Er, Excuse me, I have somewhere to be. So I have to go." He poofed away. Oh wow that was fun. I looked to the confused jounin.
" So, Ibiki. Do you think I might be able to get on the interrogation squad?" I asked randomly. He shrugged his shoulders.
" I guess you could once you get some experience under your belt. I'll take it up with the hokage later tonight." I nodded my head.
" Well this was fun, but I fear that I am terribly bored here and I am going to go home and try to take a five day long nap. I did my special snake seal and flamed away. Wow that sounds really cool.
A/n
This chapter was split in two because it was getting to long, so I will put this one up first and the the next one.
Providentia: Thank you for the Review! You were the only one to review last chapter! SO thanks a bunch! But I agree with you this fic is different and that is what I was going for. As for your love of Naruto and Gaara I too love both of them! Thanks again for the review.
