Recap:
"Now I can only go so far into the exam with you" stated Gakuto "But whatever you do stick together"
"Yes" they all answer simultaneously
They began to walk towards the first location of the first exam, which happened to be in room 556 of the academy.
They stopped out side of a building, which had the Konoha symbol above the door.
"Now this is as far as I can take you" stated Gakuto
"Right" the three students answered
"Kagome" began Gakuto "Lady Tsunade requested that you wear this" he said handing her a Hitai-Ite "It will show that you belong to this village"
"Thank you" she answered tying it around her forehead.
"Now I will see you on the other side, I will be awaiting you by room 556, so hurry you have limited time all of fifteen minutes to reach the room.
Chapter 10-The first exam
Kagome, Taichi and Kaname walked through the academy halls looking for room 556, as they got closer to the doors; they heard nothing not a peep.
Kagome who had been in between the two boys gazed at them and they nodded there head in understanding.
Taichi opened the door, twisting the handle and walking through followed by his team mates, as they closed the door behind them they found that they were not alone but in a room with others possible candidates.
Sasuke sat with his team and the others awaiting the exam to start until the door opened catching his attention, he noticed Kagome came in with two other boys, he clenched his fist tightly.
'Am I jealous?' he asked himself 'No of course not, but who are they, they cant possibly her team, Kagome isn't even a ninja to have a squad' he thought frowning slightly
He stood catching everyone's attention and began to walk towards her everyone else following behind him to greet Kagome.
Kagome scanned around the room until her eyes landed upon Sasuke and her friends as they began to come closer to her.
Sasuke starred at her giving her a small smile in greeting but nothing more and in return she smiled back.
"Hey Kagome who are your friends?" asked Naruto as he tackled Kagome to the floor
"Naruto get off of me!" exclaimed Kagome trying to get him from on top of her so she can stand.
"How troublesome" muttered Shikamaru as he watched Naruto and Kagome?
"Oh this is Taichi and Kaname, they are my new team mates" she introduced as everyone gave their own introduction.
"Are you sure you want to go through with this Kagome?" asked Shikamaru from the side of her.
"Of course I do" she said smiling brightly "Why wouldn't I, after all I can't let all my training go to waste now can I?"
Shikamaru just stared at her and muttered 'How troublesome'
"Awe come on Shika, it's not like I'm going to get hurt now is it" she said
"You don't know that Kagome" stated Sasuke a hint of worry in his voice
Taichi and Kaname looked at one another and raised an eyebrow at Sasuke in question. The great Uchiha Sasuke, worrying over a female.
"Of course I do, after all you know very well I'm well trained Sasuke after all I am a priestess" she stated
"Priestess or not you haven't fought ninja besides Itachi and he didn't even continue the fight after you punched him" stated Sasuke worrying more and more
"Well then Uchiha, if you think I'm so weak, why not try to get me out of this stupid exam as soon as you can?" asked Kagome
"Kagome I didn't mean…" began Sasuke
"Whatever I understand you're just like the others never believing in my abilities, it's just my luck" she said walking away with Taichi and Kaname behind her.
Kaname wrapped an arm around her shoulders trying to console her.
"Come now Kagome, I'm sure he is just worried after all I'm sure you mean something to him" began Kaname
"What are you talking about?" she asked totally confused
'She can't see that he cares about her, she's totally blind to it' thought both Taichi and Kaname as the leaned against a wall.
Sasuke saw Kagome walk away from him and he also saw how that Kaname her new team mate wrapped his arm around her shoulders and his anger and jealousy seemed to grow stronger as his sharigan eyes began to activate but he caught himself.
'Why does my control slip when it come to others touching her, am I really that possessive over her already?' he questioned himself
"Ok now we need to start our first exam!" boomed a voice over the crowd of Chuunin present in the room
Everyone turned around to a woman who stood at the front of the room who they all discovered to be Anko.
Kagome just watched them closely; she narrowed her eyes at them, but then smirked before moulding her face into an emotionless nosh mask.
Anko starred around the crowd of chuunin until their gaze landed on Kagome, they saw her face moulded into an emotionless mask not allowing one emotion to pass through her face.
'She must be the non ninja candidate' thought Anko
"Right the first exam is just a simple hit and run target, sort of like a race, this will help us to measure your agility , and how quick your reaction is for the targets could pop up at anytime during your run so this is also an excellent time for us to how you cope under pressure for they will also be a time limit, also you will be working in your squads again this will help us to see how well you work as a time under pressure, they will be twenty targets, you must at least hit six targets each others wise your squad fails" announced Anko. "Now everyone to the training grounds, there you will find a track per team"
Everyone walked out of the room towards the training grounds for the first exam.
"Now as I said there is a time limit of one hour, of course this exam isn't as easy as what it seems, so a word of caution don't get cocky, pace your self" shouted Anko "Now each get at your starting points!"
Kagome, Taichi and Kaname headed towards a gateway that leads to a track.
"You do know this isn't just going to be a simple walk in the park?" asked Taichi directing is question at Kagome mainly
"I know, but you don't need to worry about me, I won't hold you back, that I can promise you!" she answered not taking her eyes away from he track 'I feel something, but what is it?' she thought to her self lowering her head slightly deep in thought
Kaname looked towards Kagome, he didn't know what to think, the girl wasn't a ninja but she had fought against Itachi and caught his interest, so she must be a good fighter, but he knew something was bothering her but he wasn't quite sure.
"Are you ok Kagome?" whispered Kaname
Kagome looked up at him and smiled slightly.
"Yes don't worry, but thanks for your concern" she answered giving him another smile as he smiled back at her.
In front of them appeared a jounin ninja as he took his place by the gate way.
"I will let you know when you may enter and I will time you from when you set off and meet you at the end of the track to time when you finished" stated the jounin gatekeeper.
They nodded their heads in understanding.
They waited a few moments and then…
"You may start!" said the jounin gatekeeper as he pressed the starter button on the small stop watch.
Without second thoughts all three of them dashed in through the gate weaving in and out through mismatched trees.
Suddenly three targets appearing out of nowhere from behind trees, Kagome grabbed a kunai and threw the weapon at the target as her team mates found there own way of disposing them selves of their target.
They continued on slowly, Taichi in front leading, Kagome and Kaname slightly behind him but to the side.
"How you doing Kagome?" asked Kaname as they dodged several different shuriken heading their way and hitting different targets.
"Fine thanks!" she answered hitting another target.
Meanwhile Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura were dodging several shadow cones as well as trying to hit the targets on the trees.
Sakura through a kunai hitting the shadow clone as it disappeared, Naruto following her example did the same till al the shadow clones disappeared and all was left was to continue hitting the targets until they reached the end.
Back outside the gates at the end of the tracks Anko stood.
Looking at the stop watch she saw that they were only ten minutes into the exam.
'Fifty more minutes' she thought as she sat down and leant against a rock.
Back with Kagome and her team, they had all hit six targets and they were only two targets to find.
"We haven't done badly so far" stated Kaname as they continued to sprint
"No we have al hit at least six targets, it won't be long now until we reach the end" stated Kagome
Suddenly two targets appeared out of nowhere, each one of them reached for there weapons to find that they weren't any present.
"Oh no!" all three whispered
Each one looked at one another, then Kagome's face took a look of determination, she summoned her purity power into her hands forming it like a bow and arrow surprising her team mates completely.
Pulling the energy back as though she was pulling back the string a bow she released the arrow of energy that possessed holy energy hitting both targets on the bulls eye leaving a hole in the centre of the target where the bulls eyes once was.
"Oh yeah!" shouted Kagome with glee as her two team mates starred at her.
"How did you do that Kagome?" asked Kaname with amazement
"Rule number one never underestimate me, see I told you I wouldn't hold you back, after all I am a priestess" she stated happily "Now we must make it to the end now that we've got all twenty!"
They nodded their heads and headed off in another light sprint, up ahead they a spotted the gate and put many bursts of energy into their run and came out of the gate to be greeted by their gate keeper who immediately stopped the stop watch and looked down at the timing.
'No way' he thought to himself as he looked at the timing on the stop watch, it had read 15:2000.
"Anko!" shouted the gate keeper
"What is it?" asked Anko as she appeared before him.
"Gakuto's team as finished in fifteen minutes, twenty seconds" he exclaimed
"That's impossible!" she exclaimed after him, but then turned to the team and saw that they all stood straight not even out of breath, what surprised her the most was that this was the team with the non ninja on, the one brought up in a non ninja village.
"How did…?" began Anko
"Your exam was too easy, after all, I have been through much worse than that, trust me" Kagome said with a smile
Anko could nothing but nod her head.
They waited another three quarters of an hour for the others to finish and only few finished. Kagome saw Shikamaru and her friends come from there's to sit and catch there breath.
She ran to Shikamaru and jumped him in her excitement that he had passed the exam.
"Shika, you made it, I'm so happy!" she exclaimed happily knocking him to the floor
"Owe!" was all he could manage to say
Kagome got off him and helped him up.
"A little sore?" she asked
He nodded to her.
Kagome then turned, locking eyes with Sasuke, everyone seemed to just disappear leaving them alone.
"Kagome I…" began Sasuke
But before Sasuke could say any more Kagome ran to him and wrapped his arms around his neck nuzzling her head into his neck.
"I'm glad you passed Sasuke, I don't know what I'd have done if you hadn't" she whispered tickling his neck with her breath
He wrapped his arms around and rested his chin upon her shoulder just enjoying the moment "Same here" he said
"Kagome…" he began again pulling away from her
Kagome looked up at him, starring him in the eye.
"Kagome I'm sorry for what I said earlier, I was just worried about you" he said tenderly locking eyes with her.
Kagome smiled at him, her eyes softening immensely, she lifted her right hand up to his left cheek cupping it as he leaned into her touch.
"I know Sasuke, and I'm sorry too" she said as Sasuke's left hand came up to hold her hand to his cheek as though she would let it slip away if he didn't, they seemed a lot closer than before, but that didn't matter to them. They were that close that they were breathing one another's breath.
"Kagome…" began Sasuke as their lips neared one another's closer and closer a small blush appearing on Kagome's face at their closeness.
"Kagome…Sasuke!" called Ino and Sakura out of nowhere as the gang began to get closer to them.
Immediately Sasuke and Kagome pulled away from one another Kagome blushing madly as her whole face heated up, while Sasuke just glared hiding his blush.
'I can't believe I almost kissed Sasuke' thought Kagome as she smiled at him and he smiled at her making her blush more.
'I can't believe she was going to let me kiss her' he though as he smiled at her and her blush reddens when he did so.
"How troublesome" muttered Shikamaru?
"Well then lets go and get this briefing thing over with and then I'll treat us all to ramen, and oh Naruto after the first five bowls you have to buy your own Ramen" stated Kagome as they walked off.
As they walked, they passed the sound team that had attacked them the other day, Kagome's eyes seemed to lock with Sanga's for a moment and then they seemed to walk off as though nothing had happened.
'So there still in this exam' thought Kagome 'I'll have to watch them, they seem a bit odd' she thought but continued with her happy façade walking with her friends and team mates.
