The month flew by and now Emi was standing in the examination room, waiting for her first test. Naruto had made a big entrance as usual, managing to annoy a lot of the other Genin.
Not long after, Ibiki Morino walked in to start the exam. Emi didn't like the man because as soon as he found out who she was, he insisted on probing her mind for Intel on her home village. Luckily Inoichi had come to her defence and told Ibiki that her amnesia was too server, that she had no memories of her home land.
The exam started and Emi sighed at the paper, even though they were warned not to cheat, it was near impossible to complete the paper without doing so. She looked around at the people she could without bring attention to herself. She homed in on someone writing, smirking, she used her sound jutsu to pick up the vibrations and copy them.
Since they were summoned, Yin and Yang refused to leave Emi's side because she was the last of her kind. They felt it was there duty to protect her. They were currently sat at the back of the room, watching everyone.
Yang had decided she was bored of this, she wanted to sleep on her mistress as she often did. Yang was the lazy one out of the two but had a very kind heart and would fight if Emi was in danger. Yin insisted on being alert at all times, he could sometimes come across as cold but his intentions were always good. Yang strolled between the desks to her mistress, closely followed by Yin. Luckily for Yang, Emi was sat on the end of a desk, making it less of a hassle to get to her favourite sleeping spot. She jumped up onto Emi's lap and presided to climb up her mistress, disappearing into Emi's hood. She liked curling around Emi's neck as her hair smelt of fresh flower blossoms and the hood provided shade and enough shadow to help her sleep. Yang started purring almost immediately. Yin simply rolled his eyes at his sister but followed his sisters' path up her mistress. However he carried on past Emi's shoulders and sat on her head, earning a growl from the ninken behind him. That'll teach him to copy from his mistress.
As they waited for their final question, Emi glared at her teammates, telling them not to even think about backing out now.
But in her usual fashion, Anko Mitarashi made her entrance loud and to the annoyance of Ibiki, early. After receiving the information about the second examination, Emi got up as Yin moved down from her head and into her arms. Yang was still purring away.
"He's staring at you again." Yin whispered referring to Sasuke. Emi hadn't spoken to Sasuke outside of sparring since he apologised.
"Let him." She hissed back. Yin sighed, he was getting fed up of them not talking. Emi walked out with her teammates close behind her.
Emi was slowly getting annoyed with the wait to get started at the Forest of Death. She just wanted to get it over and done with and meet her family. Her teammates however were enjoying the wait, they were scared of the idea of even entering the forest.
Once they entered the forest, Yin and Yang walked alongside her. She had been given a heaven scroll. Emi walked on ahead, planning to trap a poor team into thinking that she was over confident and easy prey.
Very soon after they ran into a team from Takigakure. They smirked at her, they definitely thought she was easy prey. During her training leading up to the exams, Emi showed a rather unsettling personality change. She was rather aggressive and over the top, it was like she had been trained to be cruel in the past and now it showing through. It was like she was another person.
"Scroll?" Emi demanded in a harsh tone. The ninja from Taki glared at her.
"Earth, yours?" The one answered with an equally harsh tone.
"Heaven." She answered with a smirk.
"Well we'll play nice if you just pass us your scroll little girl." A different one spoke. Emi laughed at them.
"You think I'll just hand it over? You are idiots." She replied with a smile even though they wouldn't be able to see it thanks to her mask. The Taki ninja didn't seem too pleased with her answer and readied themselves to attack.
"One more chance otherwise we will destroy you!" The one who spoke before shouted at her angrily. Smirking again, Emi took out two kunai's, one in each hand.
"Come get it boys." The ninja ran towards her, as they got closer she released a sound wave, sending the three flying away from her into the trees. The three didn't stay down for long, she quickly activated the seal on her rod and revealed her tail for the first time during the exam. She placed the rod in her tail and took out her katana.
"Stay back, only get involved if you have an advantage, I don't want to hit you with my sound waves." She ordered her teammates. They had learned from their brief time training together not to get hit her sound waves. It worked better with her taking the damage while they snuck in while they were forgotten about. They had found out her healing process was a lot fast then a normal humans. Bruises seemed to disappear overnight and cuts would be almost gone by the same time. The three started charging at her again. She managed to pierce one in the heart with her rod while it pulsing with lighting. "Should have used clone jutsu, idiot." She hissed through gritted teeth as she pulled it out of him. The other ninja looked at her shocked. "What? Cat got your tongue?" She said with a sick smirk on her lips not that they could see it. Her teammates looked at her in shock. They hadn't expected her to kill so easily and without regret. "Would you gentlemen be kind to hand over the scroll now?" She asked in a sickly sweet tone. Both men made an audible gulp and nodded. The one quickly took out the scroll and throw it at her, she caught it easily. "Thank you boys." They nodded and ran for their lives. Emi quickly put her weapons away. "Let's go." She ordered running towards the centre of the forest where they were meant to go when they got the two scrolls. They made it there in good time, just coming in behind a team from Suna.
Emi and her teammates saw team from Suna in the common room, awaiting for their rooms to made, they hadn't expected any of the teams to pass this quick. Yin was sat on Emi's lap, glaring at sand ninja with face paint. The sand ninja noticed and glared back at Yin, causing Yin to hiss at him.
"Silence Yin." Emi warned him.
"He's insulting your kind." Yin hissed in reply. Emi raised an eyebrow at him. "His hood." Yin pointed out. The sand ninja's hood was shaped so that it had pair of cat ears. "Copying anything from your kind is an insult." He added jumping off her lap, taking an offensive stance. Emi stood up.
"Yin, I'm warning you, back down." She ordered but Yin wasn't listening. The ninja laughed at Yin, hearing the whole exchange.
"Her kind?" He asked with a smirk, still laughing.
"Yes my kind." Emi said looking at him as she pulled her hood down, much to Yang's protesting. She didn't want her shade to go. The male ninja looked at her in awe, so did blonde girl next to him. There was another male ninja with them too, he had bright crimson hair and a gourd on his back. This ninja however did not seem interested in the slightest.
"Stop staring." The red haired boy ordered, his teammates quickly looked away from Emi. Yin was still hissing at the ninja with the hood on. "I suggest you shut that thing up." The haired ninja growled at Emi. Emi looked him up and down with a glare.
"I suggest you remove that stick from your ass…" Emi hissed back and smelt the air. "Racoon." She added. The red haired ninja froze for a moment, no one caught the surprised look on his face other than Emi.
"Emi." A stern male voice warned her from behind.
"Yes Kakashi-kun?" She asked not looking back at him.
"Don't play with that one, find another prey." He said with a sigh knowing she might not drop it, once she picked a prey she won't stop till there was nothing left.
"But I want to play with this one." She replied, it was then he knew she had her sickly smirk plastered on her lips. The first time and only time he saw it was when someone found out who she was and tried to kill her. She had taken her mask off as it was in the wash. She was asleep when it happened. Someone had managed to sneak in and tried to cut her down in her sleep. She awoke and slammed her claws into his heart, ripping it out. He had ran in to see that smirk as she pulled his heart out. The memory almost made him shiver.
"You will not play with this one, understood." He warned again. Emi turned to face him quickly.
"You are not my father." She hissed at him. The red haired ninja tried to take the advantage and attack with his sand only to have it slammed back into him by an invisible wave. This time the shocked look stayed on his face, everyone else was just as shocked. Emi smirked as she looked back at him.
"Hime Otogakure! Your room is ready!" Anko called her, Emi looked back at the red head once again and blew him a kiss.
"Yin, come." She ordered as she walked away.
Emi was yet again subjected to waiting for the next test, this yet again annoyed her to no end. She stood with the other teams while the next stage was explained. Emi's teammates had had enough and dropped out. She then took her place with her current sensei and waited her turn.
"Hime Otogakure and Akio Fukui." Her fight was last. She jumped down from the balcony on to the battle ground below, landing on all fours. Yin and Yang jumping down, one either side of her. When her name was announced she got a few looks but ignored them. Akio smirked at her. He was a ninja from Ame.
"You sure you want to fight little girl?" He asked her. Kakashi groaned as the boy spoke.
"He just signed his death warrant." He muttered, Naruto looked up at him confused.
"Eh? Her name is Emi, isn't it?" He asked still looking up at his sensei.
"You'll see Naruto. Emi was the name we gave her because she couldn't remember her own. Hime is the name her parents gave her." Kakashi explain while Emi snarled at Akio.
"Stop talking and fight me pretty boy." She hissed at him. Yin and Yang had taken a sit next to Genma. He looked down at the two cats confused.
"Are you not fighting with your mistress?" He asked confused. He hadn't known the two ninneko's to stay out of a fight that involved Emi. Yin shook his head.
"No, she can kill him in less than ten moves but she might drag it out because of that comment." He said with a sigh. Genma nodded.
"Ok, begin." He said.
Akio ran straight for Emi, only to be flung back with an invisible force into a wall.
"What the?" He muttered in surprise. He got back up and ran at her again, only for the same to happen again.
"You don't learn, do you?" She mocked him. The red head who she had met at the tower had now become just as interested in the fight as everybody else. Akio got back up and started throwing kunai at her, by this time she had taken out her katana and deflected them all with it. "Bored." She sighed and ran at him in a blur. She was suddenly behind him with her katana to his throat, ready to slice his head clean off. "Give up?" She whispered in his ear.
"I give up! You win!" He cried out in fear.
"Hime Otogakure wins." Genma announced. Emi sighed and withdraw her katana.
"Big baby." She muttered walking away.
Now all she had to do was wait another month and she could meet her father. The excitement was filling up inside her. She knew she could come up against Naruto, Neji, Gaara, Sasuke, Kankurō, Shino, Temari, Shikamaru or Dosu.
