Chapter 9: Beginning of the Chunin Exams!
The group of eight was walking towards the Taisho compound. Temari was happily chatting with Kagome, and all of the boys were having a glaring match. Sakura was just staring lovingly at Sasuke and Itachi.
''So, you have two brothers too?'' Temari asked.
Kagome nodded, and said.
''Yes. Sesshomaru is the oldest, he's 18. Inuyasha's 16. Ignore Inuyasha, he can be a bit... loud. Sesshomaru might not talk to you, but it's only because he doesn't know you.''
Temari nodded back. Even if it had only been about ten minutes, she really liked talking with Kagome. They soon reached the compound, and saw one of Kagome's cousins playing out front.
''Kaggie!'' He called out. He was about 5, and he had bright orange hair, with green eyes.
''Hi, Shippo. Do you know where Aniki and Inu are?'' She asked.
''Sesshy is training with Shisui, and Inu is out on a mission with his team.'' Shippo answered. He looked over to the group.
''Who are they?'' He asked cutely. Sakura squealed, and ran to embrace him.
''You are so adorable!'' She giggled in a high pitched voice. Anyone with sensitive hearing winced. Damn, she was loud.
''Sakura, let go of Shippo. Shippo, the person who grabbed you is Sakura-'' She started.
''You mean the pink haired hag that bothers you and Nar- onii, Sas- onii, and Ita-onii? Isn't she cousins with Kinky-ho?'' He asked innocently.
Naruto busted out laughing at that.
Sakura immediately started protesting about being a hag, but everyone ignored her.
''You already know Sasuke, Itachi, and Naruto. They're Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara from the Sand Village.'' She informed the little boy.
He looked at them, and his eyes widened when they landed on Gaara.
''Is he?'' He asked. Kagome nodded, and he ran over to Gaara.
''Hi, mister! We know how people like you are treated, but you're welcome here anytime! I'm Shippo!'' He said in one breath.
Gaara's eyes widened at that. They knew what he was, and they weren't afraid?
''Thank you.'' He said warily.
Shippo scampered off when he heard his mother calling, and Kagome turned towards the group.
''This way.'' She said.
A few minutes later, they were at a house that was easily the biggest. They went inside, and Kagome called out.
''Mom, I'm home! And I brought friends!''
A woman with long black hair, tan skin, and markings on her face came in.
''Hello, I am Izayoi. Sesshomaru's, Inuyasha's, Kagome's, and Naruto's mother. It is nice to meet you.'' She said sweetly.
The people that had never been to the Taisho house now knew where Kagome got her looks from. Well, half of them anyway. They had the same silky black hair, but Izayoi's was longer and straighter. They both had blue eyes too, but Izayoi's were darker, and had a little brown in them.
''Hello, Mrs. Taisho.'' The sand nins choursed. Sakura was to busy making goo-goo eyes at her.
'OMG! It's Izayoi Taisho! Only the best kunoichi in the village, alongside Mikoto Uchiha.' She mentally squealed.
Once Kikyo married Inuyasha, and she married Sasuke and/ or Itachi, they'd be related!
''Please, just call me Izayoi. If Kagome likes you, then you are bound to be nice people.'' She smiled.
The sand nin just nodded quietly. They felt awkward around the mother. It wasn't that they didn't like her, it was just that they didn't have a mother anymore, and it hurt a little.
''If you need me, I'll be in the kitchen.'' She said nicely. Kagome nodded, and led the group towards the back door.
''So, Gaara, how are you coping with the one-tail in you?'' Kagome asked nonchalantly.
The sand ninjas eyes grew. Would they hate them because of Gaara?
''Fine, I guess.'' He whispered. Kagome gave him a sweet smile.
''I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Naruto's a host like you, and everyone in the Taisho clan are demons.'' She said.
By now the older sand nin were gapping. Gaara, on the other hand, was looking at them with awe in his eyes.
''You're a demon? That's a shock, but whatever. I still like you!'' Temari stated cheerfully.
''Imouto, who are they?'' A cool voice asked. The group turned their heads towards the voice, and saw Sesshomaru.
'Oh. My. God. HE IS SO HOT!' Sakura mentally gasped.
''Hey, Kaggie! How've you been doing squirt?'' A black blur flashed in front of Kagome, and picked her up to squeeze her tightly.
''Shi-chan, can't breathe.'' She choked out. Shisui laughed, but let her down.
''Anyway, they're Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, and Sakura.'' She stated, grimacing at the Sakura part.
''Hello. Welcome to the Taisho compound.'' Sesshomaru greeted. The sand nin nodded respectively.
''Come, Shisui. We still need to get your strength up to par with your speed.'' Sesshomaru commanded.
Shisui groaned, and said.
''But, Fluffy! Do I really have to be as strong as I am fast?'' He shut up at Sesshomaru's glare.
''Do not call me Fluffy, Shi-chan.'' He said, smirking at the end. Shisui then began to rant at him as they walked off. Everyone blinked slowly.
''Alrighty then. Anyone up for training?'' Naruto asked excitedly. Everyone agreed. Well, everyone except Sakura.
''Don't any of you just want to talk about stuff?'' She asked hopefully. At everyones blank stares, she gave in.
''Before we fight, I want to redo Gaara's seal. Whoever did it was an idiot.'' Kagome stated. She went inside the house for a minute, and came back out with a jar of ink, and some jars of... sand?
''Okay, Gaara, take off your shirt.'' Kagome said.
''You whore! You just want to see his body!'' Sakura screeched.
Everyone narrowed their eyes, and someone clear their throat.
''Pinkie, I don't like when someone says something like that to my family. Especially my niece. Please leave, and as for the whore comment, I know that there are at least 5 different males that you've been with.'' A girl that looked a little like Kagome said.
She had the same raven black hair, but the blue was more pronounced and there were spikes in the back, and pupiless brown eyes.
''Hey, Aunt Anko.'' Kagome greeted.
Anko's demeaner did a 180.
''Hey, kiddo! How's it going? Well besides pink bitch here.'' Anko asked with a grin.
Kagome grinned back, and said.
''Fine. By the way, Sakura, you can leave.''
Sakura glared, and was about to protest, but at all the glares everyone was giving her, she decided to save her skin.
''Fine. Besides, I need to talk to Kiki-chan.'' She sniffed.
Everyone breathed a sigh at the pink haired idiot. She really was a piece of work.
''Aunt Anko? Can you help me make a seal for Gaara?'' Kagome asked. Anko smirked, and got the sand ready.
She did an interesting design, and Kagome started to remove the seal on Gaara's stomach.
''Won't the one-tail be realeased if you remove the seal?'' Temari asked worridly.
''No, I will be able to keep it at bay.'' Kagome said smoothly.
Anko finished the design, and Kagome started to do the seal. She told Gaara to go into the middle of the design, and put her hands in a praying motion. She started to mutter things in an unknown language, and the seal and design glowed. Everyone watched for about five minutes, and then everything stopped.
''Congratulations, Gaara. Shukaku can now be controled more easily.'' Kagome said with a smile.
She was surprised when two arms wrapped around her, and a body shook against her.
''Thank you, Nee-chan.'' Gaara whispered, barely keeping tears at bay. (AN: I know, OOC, but he just learned that he can control Shukaku better, I'd be pretty damn happy if I could control that crazy raccoon too.)
''You're welcome.'' She said. She ran a hand through his hair in comfort, and he eventually calmed down.
''Thank you. We must leave now, but we shall see eachother again.'' Gaara said cooly. The others nodded in understanding, and waved goodbye to them.
They were soon out of sight.
''I thought you had a mission, Aunt Anko.'' Kagome said, turning to the older girl.
''I finished, duh!'' Anko stated.
''I thought after your mission the Hokage needed you to do something, as well as daddy.'' Kagome retorted. Anko's eyes widened in horror.
''Oh shit! I forgot all about your dad! Sorry, I gotta go!'' And with that, she zoomed off.
''It never ceases to amaze me how weird your aunt is.'' Itachi stated dryly.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
A few hours later, Team 7 was waiting for Kakashi at the bridge.
Sakura was whining about how late Kakashi was, and how mean Anko was to her. Suddenly, Kakashi appeared.
''You're late!'' Naruto and Sakura shouted.
''Sorry, I got lost on the path of life.'' Kakashi said.
''Liar!'' They shouted again.
''Whatever. Anyway, I have nominated you all for the Chunin Exams. And Kagome, the Hokage needs to see you.'' Kakashi said off handedly.
Everyones eyebrows twitched.
''What the hell do you mean you nominated us for the Chunin Exams!'' Naruto growled.
''Kagome, the Hokage needed to see you now. I'll have Sasuke or Itachi fill you in later.'' Kakashi said.
The demoness sighed, and did a body flicker jutsu to the Hokage's office.
The Third Hokage was currently doing paperwork. Tons of paperwork. He was just about ready to tear his hair out, when Kagome appeared.
''You rang?'' She asked. He smiled at the young teenager. He had always been close to the Taisho clan, and would often stop by to check on the girl when she was younger.
''Yes. Kakashi had informed me about the Shikon no Tama, and I believe it belongs to your clan. You, more specifically. So I had Kakashi retrieve it from the Yariman clan, and now I am giving it back to you.'' He said.
Kagome's eyebrows rose when he placed the marble sized jewel in her palm.
''Thank you, Lord Hokage.'' She whispered.
''Hey, now. I have known you since you were a new born. It's Grandpa to you.'' He said with a smile. She smiled back, thanked him again, and left.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
''Did you hear? There are supposed to supposed to be rookies in the Chunin Exams for the first time in five years.'' A boy in a green spandex suit stated.
He and his teammates were in one of the training grounds.
''Hmph. It's probably one of the Jounin being arrogant about their squad. There are no rookies going into the exam.'' A girl with two buns on either side of her head said. She flicked a kunai that she had been tossing right next to her other teammate's head.
''Yes there are. Five of them are on Kakashi's squad. The Uchiha twins, and the Taisho girl are among the group.'' Spandex boy said.
Their silent teammate's head tilted up.
'Kagome's entering the exams? I haven't seen her for a long time.' He thought.
''Interesting.'' He finally said.
''Not really.'' The girl sighed.
''Either way, too bad for them.'' Spandex boy chuckled darkly.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
Naruto was running.
'I hope I'm not late!' He thought worridly.
He saw his sister, and the Uchiha twins waiting by the destination.
''Yo! You guys excited?'' He asked, panting inbetween breaths.
The twins rolled their eyes, and Kagome smiled at him.
''Hey, where's Sakura?'' Naruto asked all of a sudden. Just as he said that, the pink haired girl stomped up to Kagome.
''I can't believe that you got the Hokage to take the jewel away from Kikyo! You lying whore!'' Sakura screamed dramatically, swinging a hand at the demon girl.
Kagome just sighed, and caught the fuming wanabee kunoichi's wrist.
''I didn't ask for it. Kakashi apparentally talked to him when we got back, and retrieved the jewel. If you're going to open that mouth, make sure something a little intelligent comes out.'' She said icely.
She straightened up, and started walking into the building, the twins and her brother following her, and the pig- headed bitch was left there fuming.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
''Just give up already.'' A older teen said. He and another boy were blocking a doorway to a room.
''We're trying to help you. Don't take the exams.'' The other said.
''Please, let us through. We need to go in there.'' The girl with the buns pleaded.
The first boy meerly punched her in the cheek, and she stumbled back.
''If you can't even handle us, the exams will kill you.'' The second boy jeered.
Team 7 were walking foward, and Kagome bristled at the first boy's next comment.
''Delicate little girls like you shouldn't enter these exams.''
''Let the genjutsu down. We are going to the third floor, and this is only the second.'' Kagome said smoothly.
Every boy there had hearts in their eyes.
''She's hot.''
''I wonder if she'll go out with me.''
''I have to get her to be my girlfriend.''
Boys kept muttering to eachother, and glancing at the beautiful girl. Her brother, and the twins were glaring at everyone else.
''So, you noticed the genjutsu? Good job.'' The first boy said, slightly blushing at her. (AN: I know that they are older, but Kaggie rocks!)
''That's my sis! She's the smartest genin here! Much smarter than the Teme Twins!'' Naruto proclaimed loudly.
''So what? You noticed an illusion. Let's see how your friend handles this!'' The second one growled, and swung a leg at Sasuke.
Sasuke himself got his own attack ready, but the spandex boy got inbetween them, grabbing their feet. He looked up, and Kagome smirked.
'Rock Lee.' She thought.
'How did he do that? I thought he was just a weakling getting knocked around!' Sakura thought.
Sasuke was having an inner battle.
'He stopped my kick. He must have some chakra in his arm.' He thought.
Spandex boy's teammates walked up.
''What happened to our plan? I thought we weren't going to show our true strength yet.'' His male teammate said.
''I know, but... '' Spandex boy trailed off, looking at Kagome, and blushing.
''Oh no.'' The female teammate sighed.
Spandex boy walked up to Kagome.
''My name is Rock Lee. Will you please be my girlfriend? I'll always protect you with my life.'' He said, and flashed a sparkly smile at the end.
''No thank you.'' Kagome said sweetly. Rock Lee immediately deflated.
''Why not?'' He asked saddly.
''I don't like you like that.'' She said, and he deflated more.
''Hello again, Kagome.'' The male teammate said. She turned, and saw none other than Neji Hyuuga.
''Nej-chan!'' She greeted happily. Rock Lee did a complete 180.
''Kaggers?'' He asked in wonder. Kagome twitched at the nickname.
''Yes, Lee.'' She sighed.
''You are still as beautiful and youthful as ever! I can't believe I didn't recognize your unchallengable beauty! Are you still faster than me?'' He said, wrapping her in a tight hug. She laughed at him, and hugged back.
Neji then turned towards the twins.
''Uchihas.'' He greeted coldly.
''Hyuuga.'' They greeted back.
''So, Kaggers, will you go out with me?'' Lee asked hopefully.
''Sorry, Lee, maybe some other time.'' She said, wanting to let him down gentlely.
''Hey! Girly- girl! Still think you can comepte in the exams?'' The first boy asked.
She glared at him, and flicked her wrist in their direction. Instead of two teenagers, there were two grown men standing there in shock. She then swept a leg underneath them, and they fell to the ground.
''Cheap tricks won't work boys. Sorry.'' She said sweetly. She then lead her team to the third floor. Rock Lee had told his own team to go ahead, and followed Team 7.
''Hey, rooster hair. Fight me.'' Lee demanded. Sasuke twitched at the mockery of his hair, but turned to him anyway.
''Fine.'' Sasuke said simply.
''But, don't you want to know why?'' Lee asked.
''Go ahead.'' Sasuke sighed.
''I want to know what it will be like to fight a great Uchiha clan member! I have fought Kagome before, and lost. But, that is to be expected from someone of her heritage.'' Lee said.
''Give me a few minutes.'' Sasuke stated.
''No, now.'' Lee said.
Sasuke growled, and charged foward. He and Lee had been fighting for about a minute, and Sasuke was already loosing.
'Now is my time to test it.' Sasuke thought. He then activated his sharingan.
The fight continued, and Sasuke was getting more and more frustrated. He couldn't copy any of Lee's attacks because he was using taijustu instead of ninjutsu, or genjutsu. Lee was starting to unwrap one of his bandages, but something stopped him.
''Lee, enough!'' A large turtle growled. He started to drag Lee by his bandages.
Sasuke started to fall, and Kagome shot foward to catch him.
Sakura was mentally ranting at Lee for defeating her beloved Sasuke.
''You okay, Sas-chan?'' Kagome asked, stroking his bangs tenderly.
''Yeah, I'm okay.'' He said quietly. Itachi looked at his brother in mild shock.
'That fight shook him up.' He thought worridly.
''You were watching.'' Lee said. His head looking down at the floor in shame.
''Lee, you know technique is forbidden!'' The turtle growled.
''I'm sorry.'' Lee apologized, and bowed.
''Why is a turtle here?'' Naruto whispered to Kagome, who he had moved next to. Lee was damn near crying in fear.
''I wasn't going to use the other one though.'' Lee tried to defend himself.
''Nee-chan, that's a turtle isn't it?'' Naruto asked.
Kagome sighed, and nodded.
''Can a turtle be a ninja sensei?'' Naruto asked his sister again. This time, Sakura answered.
''That's a stupid question!'' She shrieked.
''Fool! You can't get away with excuses! You know what happens when a ninja reveals his best techniques!'' The turtle continued to scold Lee.
''How did I loose to him?'' Sasuke whispered to himself.
''Yes, sir.'' Lee said.
''Here comes Gai sensei!'' The turtle cheered.
''Wow! You all just scream teenagers!'' An older version of Lee appeared on top of the turtle in an... interesting pose.
'Gai is as weird as ever.' Kagome thought in amusement.
''EEK! HE'S LIKE AN ENHANCED VERSION OF LEE!'' Sakura screeched. She pushed Kagome out of the way, and latched on to Sasuke.
''Get the hell of me!'' Sasuke growled.
''Great. Another freak.'' Itachi sighed in irritation. He had drug Sakura off his twin, and Kagome reclaimed her spot next to them. Sasuke especially enjoyed having his head in her lap.
''Stop insulting Gai- sensei!'' Lee growled, and glared at the dark haired twins. He didn't like them. Especially since they were so close to Kagome.
''All these weirdos are showing up! How the fuck do you think we should react? We just saw him come out of a turtle.'' Naruto protested.
''He did not!'' Lee argued back.
''Lee, calm down. Now, time for your punishment.'' Gai said. He then proceeded to punch Lee in the face.
''Sorry, Lee, but it was for your own good.'' Gai said, getting teary eyed at the end.
''S- sensei.'' Lee cried.
''L- lee.'' He cried back.
They hugged, and a weird sunset popped up out of nowhere.
''I see you two are as emotional as ever.'' Kagome giggled. The two ended their hug, and Lee perked up.
''Gai- sensei! I forgot to tell you that Kaggers was entering the Chunin Exams!'' He said, running over to Kagome, and picking her up to bring her over to Gai. Sasuke growled lowly at him when his head hit the floor.
'I was comfortable there, dammit!' He mentally attacked Lee with dozens of kunai and shuriken.
''Kagome!'' Gai exclaimed.
He picked her up out of Lee's arms, and swung her around happily.
''Look at you! You're even more beautiful than the last time I saw you! I hope you have been keeping up in your taijutsu training!'' Gai said in a creepy peppy tone.
''Thanks, Gai. But, I can't breath.'' She choked out. He immediately put her down, and turned towards Lee.
''Lee, you still need to be punished. 500 laps around the practice arena!'' He ordered.
''Yes, sir!'' Lee cried happily, and then with a last hard hug for Kagome, they went off into the sunset. (AN: Please, tell me where I can get a timeline, or a episode explanation! I don't want to watch the anime because of Sakura, Karin, or any of the other bitchy characters!)
Sasuke and Itachi were glaring at where the two spandex wearing males were standing. First, Lee was flirting with Kagome, then he beat Sasuke, and then he and his sensei were getting friendly with their girl?
'The next time that happens, it will not be ignored.' They mentally snarled.
''Geez, Sasuke, you got your ass handed to you.'' Naruto snickered.
The younger Uchiha glared at the blonde, the older brother rolled his eyes, and the pink haired bitch started shrieking at Naruto to leave her Sasuke alone.
''Naruto, please stop teasing Sasuke.'' Kagome sighed, walking back towards them.
Itachi and Sasuke couldn't help but notice the way her curvy hips naturally swayed in a way any girl would kill for. (AN: The horomones strike again!)
''Alright, fine. But, now that I think about it, Lee might have hurt Sasuke. Maybe you should check where his foot connected with Sasuke's chest. He might be bruised.'' Naruto said.
'I guess I should be nice, and help ya, Teme1.' He snickered mentally.
''You're right. Sasuke, shirt off.'' She said, kneeling down to start her examination.
''Get away from Sas-'' Sakura started, but Naruto pushed a pressure point behind her neck to make her unconcious. Kagome looked at him with a raised eyebrow, and he meerly smiled innocently.
''Sasuke, please take your shirt off.'' She said. He blushed, but complied.
She ran her cool fingers over his now heated skin, and he had to stop from shuddering from it.
''You seem okay. Maybe a couple of bruises.'' She told him with a smile.
''Hey, Nee- chan. Shouldn't you give him a kiss for being a good patient?'' Naruto choked out. He was having a hard time not laughing.
Kagome rolled her eyes at him, but gave Sasuke a wuick kiss on the cheek, very close to his mouth. As soon as she pulled away, Sakura woke up.
''Naruto! How dare you knock me out!'' She started to screech at the blonde.
''Sakura, shut up.'' Sasuke growled at her. She was taking him off that cloud nine feeling Kagome gave him.
''But, Sasuke-'' She started to protest, but shut up at his glare. She sent a last glare at Naruto, and then Team 7 walked towards where the other genin were going to be at.
They walked through the door, and immediately every head turned towards them. Of course, their eyes turned into hearts when they saw Kagome.
''Hey, baby! What's a sexy thing like you doing here?'' One called out.
Sakura got an arrogant look on her face, and was about to talk, when the same person said.
''Not you! The gorgeous one over there, with the mesmerizing eyes, and silky black hair.''
Sakura glared at Kagome with hatred in her eyes.
'Cha! Why does she get all of the attention!' Inner Sakura growled.
''Kagome, Sasuke, Itachi, Naruto! You're here!'' A perky voice called out. The five genin turned to see a girl a couple inches shorter than Kagome with a boomerang strapped to her back hug the demoness tightly.
Kagome laughed, and said.
''San- chan! How have you been? Where's Miroku?'' Kagome started to chat with the slightly younger girl.
''PERVERT!'' The dark haired girls suddenly called out. They both turned, and hit a violet eyed teenager on his head.
''I am sorry, but how could any hot blooded male resist Kagome here? And of course I would have to grope my lovely Sango to make sure she didn't get jealous.'' Miroku grinned sheepishly.
''Hey! What about me!'' Sakura screamed, and everyone in the room winced.
''I don't go for banshees. It's bad enough that we share a team with-'' Miroku started, but of course, was cut off by another annoying voice.
''Saku- chan!'' The voice screeched.
''Kiki- chan!'' Sakura screeched back.
The two girls began to giggle madly, and talk about how far they have gotten in snagging 'their' men.
''So, you're here too?'' A lazy voice asked. They all turned to see Shikamara, Ino, and Chouji standing there.
''Yes, Shika- chan. It's nice to see some more familiar faces. Hi In- chan, Chouj- chan.'' Kagome greeted with her breath taking smile.
Shikamaru beat down the urge to blush, Ino smiled back, and Chouji waved at her in greeting.
''Hey, Kagome, do you have any of your chocolate chip cookies with you?'' Chouji asked with hope.
Kagome laughed good naturedly, and said.
''Sorry, Chouji, but no. I promise to make you some after the exams, though.''
Chouji nodded happily in agreement.
''Well, well, lookie here. The gangs back together again. Hey, Kag- chan.'' Said Kiba. He and his team had arrived a few seconds later.
''Hi, Kib- chan, Shin- chan. Hina- chan, get over here!'' Kagome called to the Hyuuga girl.
She surprised her teammates by squealing, and launching herself into the older girl's arms.
''Kag- chan! San- chan!'' She greeted.
Akamaru barked, and jumped on to Kagome's head.
''Hey, Akamaru. How is one of my favorite doggies?'' She asked, giggling as he licked her face.
''He's been looking for you since we got into the room.'' Kiba smirked, and walked over to pick up the puppy. She giggled at them, and Kiba blushed at the bell like laugh.
''You must be dying to see Kora too, huh? Here, I'll bring her, and Kiroro out for you, and Kirara to play with.'' She said.
With only making a tiny cut on her arm, two animals appeared. A dog, and a cat. The dog was just slightly smaller than Akamaru, and where he was brown and white, she was black and white. Kiroro was a female neko- mata like Kirara, except the colors were reversed.
The dogs, and cats began to play with eachother, and Shikamaru said.
''So, you're here for the exams too, huh?''
''Yep! Here we all are, the Rookie 14. This should be fun. Right, Uchihas?'' Kiba chuckled.
The twins smirked at him, and agreed whole heartedly.
''We've been training hard.'' Kiba said.
''What the hell do you think we've been doing? Skipping through fields, and picking flowers?'' Naruto asked playfully.
They all laughed, minus the pink haired bimbo, and her black eyed slut cousin.
''So, you're the 14 rookies? You're all weak if you ask me. Except the beautiful flower, with the enchanting blue eyes, and markings.'' A boy a couple years older than them walked up, and said.
All of the boys glared at him.
''Who the hell do you think you are, hitting on Kagome?'' Kiba growled. The animal companions had jumped back on to their partners shoulders. They could sense the rising tension in the air.
''I am Kabuto. If I were you, I'd look around.'' Kabuto advised.
They turned around, and saw everyone there glaring at them, or in Kagome's case, oogling.
''I can't believe I used to be like all of you.'' Kabuto chuckled darkly.
''Kabuto, correct?'' Kagome asked.
''Yes, hottie.'' He replied with a smirk.
''You have taken this exam seven times, right.'' She stated, more than asked.
''How did you know that?'' He asked surprised. Not many knew that little fact.
''Let's call it radar.'' She said.
At everyone elses confused looks, she elaborated.
''The Chunin Exams are held twice a year. This would make this his fourth.''
''You're really smart. Just for being as cute as you are, I'll fill you in on some of the people here with my nin info cards.'' He said. He then brought out a nice sized deck of cards for them to see.
''What are those?'' Kikyo asked dumbly.
''These are cards that I have marked with chakra over the years. So, you see, it hasn't been a complete waste.'' He said.
He demonstrated, and showed a card with a map on it.
''That's cool!'' Sakura squealed.
''Any individual info?'' Itachi asked.
''No promises on top notch info. Anyone in mind?'' Kabuto replied.
''Gaara of Suna and Rock Lee of Konoha.'' Itachi said.
''Well, if you know their names, this should be easy. While I'm at it, how about I see about your team too.'' Kabuto said.
He went through his deck, and pulled out seven cards.
''Rock Lee. He is a year older than all of you, has done 11 C- rank missions, and 20 D- rank. His sensei is Gai, and his teammates are Neji Hyuuga, and TenTen.'' He stated.
Hinata looked slightly worried at the name Neji.
''Now for Gaara of Suna. Has done 8 C- ranks, and 1 B- rank. That's unusual for a genin. There isn't much here, but get this. He came back from every mission unharmed.'' Kabuto said.
Almost everyone there was shocked. A genin did all of those missions, including a B- rank, and came back unharmed?
''Anyway, Sakura Haruno. Has done 8 D- rank missions, and one C- rank turned B- rank mission. Has a cousin named Kikyo, whom she stalks the Uchiha twins, and the Taisho brothers together.'' He said. The two banshees started to shriek out protests, but were ignored.
''Naruto Uzumaki. Has done 8 D- rank missions, and one C- rank turned B- rank mission. Was adopted by the Dog General Inutaisho when he was 6.''
''Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha. Has done 8 D- rank missions, and one C- rank turned B- rank. They are the cousins of Shisui Uchiha, a body flicker expert.''
''And lastly, Kagome Taisho. Hmm, you don't have much information. 8 D- rank missions, a C- rank turned B- rank, and-'' Kabuto's eyes widened.
'There is no possible way someone her age could do something like this.' He thought.
''And is the second female born into the Taisho clan ever.'' He covered up.
''This is almost enough to loose your confidence.'' Hinata said worridly.
''Eh, you're okay with us Hina- chan!'' Sango comforted the girl.
''Yes, especially Sexy over there.'' He flirted.
Naruto started to shiver a bit, and Kagome gave his shoulder a reassuring squeeze. Apparently that did the trick.
''MY NAME'S NARUTO UZUMAKI, AND I'M KICKING ALL OF YOUR ASSES!'' He claimed loudly.
Everyones glares turned deadly.
''Shut up, dobe.'' Sasuke hissed at him.
Naruto was about to retort, but Kagome covered his mouth.
A couple of sound nin suddenly attacked Kabuto.
''Kabuto! Are you okay?'' Sakura asked worridly.
''Yeah...'' He said weakly.
''Hmph. Put this on your pretty little cards. Sound beats Leaf.'' A sound nin snickered.
Most of the rookies were about to pounce, when a burst of smoke came.
