"Mina-chan, how are you sleeping like that?" I hear Naruto's voice say, waking me from my 20 seconds of sleep. Ever since my last meeting with my waker, I haven't been getting any sleep at all. If I go to sleep at all, even a simple nap, I'll be transported back from my current place. The only way I can actually get sleep is by staying asleep when I return to my regular body. This body, for some odd reason, never allows me to sleep. Confusing I know, I'm still trying to figure it out myself.

I slowly open my eyes to be greeted by Naruto and Sasuke staring down at me. "Wah, hey why are you guys upside down?" I asked them tiredly. "You're the one upside down Mina." Sasuke tells me. I give him a confused look before realizing I was the one upside down. "How were you even sleeping like that anyways?" Naruto asked with a chuckle. "I don't know...I was tired okay." I tell him as I grip the rails of the bridge, pulling myself into a sitting postion and then turning to face them.

"Ugh! I'm so tired of this! He's always telling us to be here at a certain time but then he's always late! I didn't even have time to blow dry my hair this morning!" Sakura whines. "I know I didn't even have time to brush my teeth or change my underwear!" Naruto chimes in.

"Are...you serious?" I asked him. "Well yeah, why would I lie about that..." He tells me. "Oh...kay..." I say awkwardly. "Hey guys, how's it going?" Kakashi says, standing on the top of the bridge. "What do you mean 'how's it going?' You're 6 hours late! It's like twelve' o'clock now!" Naruto yells at him.

"Actually it's 12:45 and sorry I got stuck on the path of life." Kakashi simply says. "...'The path of life' huh, what did you learn on this 'path of life'?" I asked sarcastically. "A lot, I learned a lot, Minami." He tells me.
"So anyways, while on this path of life I've taken the time and decided to sign you four up for the chunnin exams." Kakashi tells us. "Ah really?! Oh yes yes yes! I love you Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto yells happily and hugs Kakashi. "Get off me Naruto...Naruto, get off...Naruto! Get off of me!" Kakashi yells as he shoves the over excited blonde off of him. "I'm sorry Kakashi-sensei I'm just so happy right now." Naruto says.

"Yeah I see that...anyway here are the application forms." He says pulling out 4 sheet of paper and handing them to us. I eye the sheet warily, 'I can barley climb a tree what the hell made him think I can do this? I should have saw this coming though...' "Now this is voluntary, so if you don't want to take it this year you can always take it next year." Kakashi continues on. "The exams will take place five days from now at 3'o clock. I will need your application forms by tomorrow."
'

I'm gonna get killed...although I don't think Sasuke would let that happenbut what happens if that same Orochimaru stuff goes down? Then what am I gonna do? Maybe...maybe I should train more... I feel weird saying that but, if I'm gonna be here I'm not gonna be another...well, Sakura. No bashing here like I said before I like her in the Shippunden but the original series...you can't tell me that you don't find her just a little bit annoying.'

"Mina-chan! Can you believe it? The chunnin exams!" Naruto says happily bringing me our of my thoughts. "Uh, yeah Naruto-kun really exciting." I say to him. "You don't sound to excitded Mina. Come on get pumped, will be going up against top notch ninjas!"

"I know...that's what I'm worried about..." I say, the last part being said in a whisper. "This is gonna be so exciting!" Naruto says again.


"Sasuke..." I say quietly from the doorway. He glances up at me from his spot on his bed. "What is it Mina?" He asked.

"Well, I was wondering if...you could...help me train a little bit, since you know the chunnin exam are coming up..." I say to him. "Yeah, let's go." I smile at him, "Okay!"


"Stop holding back, think of me as a real enemy. Give it all you got." Sasuke tells me. "I'm trying!" I yell at him as he blocks the hit I was trying to land on him. "You're not trying hard enough." He says back.

I then try to land a kick on him but, he catches it easily. "You need to stop being so predictable." He tells me. "What do you mean?" I asked as I take my fist and try to punch him but again, he catches it. "Make your opponent wonder what you're going to do next. "Okay, like this?" I asked using my one free hand to finally land a hit on him. He let's go of me and we both flip away from each other. "Something like that." He says.

"Yes! I'm finally getting somewhere!" I cheer. "Yeah," Sasuke says with a smirk and then pulls out a kunai and charges at me. I quickly pull out one of my own and block his oncoming attack, pushing my kunai against his, he draws his hand back to hit me. I jump back dodging the hit by only a couple of inches. I look down to where he stood before but, he wasn't there 'Where'd- suddenly I feel a hard kick land on my back, "Damn it." I curse as I jump away and face Sasuke, I yell "That hurt!"

I see him give somewhat of a shrug and say, "Never let your guard down..." He walks over to me, "We'll work more on it tomorrow."
"But-" "Mina, you don't need to over work yourself, we will continue tomorrow." He interrupts me. I sigh, "What if I'm not good enough to become a chunnin..." I say quietly.

"You just need more practice." Sasuke tells me. I sigh once more, 'God, I hate not getting stuff right away...usually when I first do something I'll get it in two days or less...but, this I don't know...maybe I'm just letting it get to me...'

"Come on, let's go home. It's getting late." I nod and start on the way home, Sasuke following closely behind.

I quietly lay in my bed and stare at ceiling, thinking about what skills I needed to improve on. It was basically all of them... how am I supposed to do this deed if I can't even get my stuff together? How am I gonna survive? I didn't think living in the Naruto world would be this...tough but, I didn't expect it to be all rainbows and ponies either...I spend a little more time thinking before I drift off to sleep.


"Mr. and Mrs. Allen the test results came back, it seems to us that every time Allison sleeps, her body momentarily shuts down." A voice says. "Shuts down? Is this bad doctor?" I hear my Mom say. "Well, as bad as it sounds it's not, when she wakes up, it's like nothing ever happened. So, we're going to release her to go home. But, keep an eye on her and her sleeping habits if anything changes or becomes worse bring her back immediately. I'll go get your discharge papers ready."
