"Oniichan!" Konohamaru yelled out. Yajuu walked over to Naruto slowly, looking it his swollen red cheek as Udon and the others ran to Naruto's aid. Yajuu shrugged and stepped back. Sakura looked at Yajuu with a smirk.
Konohamaru turned to face Sakura and screamed, "You ugly wench! Ugly wench!" as loud as he possibly could. Yajuu giggled to herself before looking at Sakura in fear.
The pink haired teen was not proud of this name. Not at all. She popped her fingers slowly and started stomping over to Konohamaru.
Sakura beat the living crap out of Naruto and Konohamaru before walking away, her chest puffed out with air and fists still clenched.
"Oweeeee." Naruto groaned as Yajuu knelt down to help the blonde up.
Konohamaru decided to open his big mouth again and say, "Darn that broad foreheaded ugly wench! Is she even a girl?" Yajuu and Naruto looked at Konohamaru in shock.
Yajuu picked up Konohamaru and covered his mouth. "Do you want to get us all killed!" She screamed at him.
Everyone stood frozen as Sakura slowly turned around, an evil smile on her face. It was like an army tank slowly turning around, alarms going off in everyone's minds.
For a moment she just stood there looking at them. But, as soon as Sakura started running at them the group turned around and ran away screaming in fear. Konohamaru feared most for his life because he was running faster than all of them, and not paying attention to where he was running.
The small spiky haired boy ran straight into another person, who didn't even falter when he was hit. Konohamaru sat on the ground, rubbing his butt slowly.
The person he ran into was a teen maybe a year older than them all, around 14ish? He wore a black jumpsuit and had what looked like a mummy strapped onto his back. A girl about the same age stood next to him, her hands on her hips. She was blonde and wore her hair in 4 different pigtails. She had on a tan dress with fishnet sleeves and tights. She held a fan that was bigger than herself.
"That hurt." The boy said with a growl.
The group looked at them in confusion. Who were these guys? Yajuu looked at them and fidgeted slightly. These guys were not from Konoha. They wore a Sand hitai-te. So, why were they here?
The boy quickly snatched up Konohamaru up by his scarf and smirked. "That hurt you little punk!" Yajuu grabbed Naruto's sleeve and held him back.
"Konohamaru!" Naruto shouted out for the boy, allowing Yajuu to gently hold him back.
The girl with the boy looked annoyed and rather bored. "Knock it off. Do you want to get yelled at later?"
Sakura took a step forward as she apologized. "Gomenasai! I was fooling around, it's my fault." Naruto was officially annoyed now.
He went into moron mood and yelled at the mystery teen, "Hey! Stop! Let go of him!"
Yajuu tightened her grip on Naruto's arm, telling him to knock it off.
"Let's play with them before the strict one comes around." The boy said with a smirk. The girl sighed and rubbed her nose. Konohamaru squirmed and started kicking the boy's chest. "You're pretty lively, you little punk."
Naruto looked at Yajuu with anger in his bright blue eyes. Yajuu sighed and let the boy go. Naruto quickly ran at them, yelling, "You jerk!"
Yajuu watched as Naruto suddenly fell back and sit up slowly. What made him fall like that? She looked at the man and noticed his hand opened and his fingers wiggling slightly. He was using his chakra somehow.
"Leaf Village Genin are weaker than I thought." The boy said with a bored look on his face.
"Konohamaru." Naruto growled softly.
Konohamaru squirmed more as the grip on his neck tightened. "It…. It hurts." He said softly.
Naruto stood up again and pointed at the foreigner. "Hey you moron! Let him go or you'll have to pay the consequiences!" Yajuu sighed and covered her face with her hands.
She quickly came up behind the blonde and put him in a head lock. "Naru-kun! Shut up!" She growled softly at him. "What are you planning on doing by getting him all worked up?"
"You're ticking me off. I don't like runts anyway. On top of that you're a smart aleck for someone younger than me." The boy gave an evil toothy grin. He tightened his grip once again and said, "Make me want to break him."
Yajuu looked at the kid in terror. 'Is this guy nuts? He's just a stupid kid! Ignore him if he's bugging you! That's what Sakura does!' Yajuu looked back at Konohamaru's friend and watched them cry.
"It's not on me." The girl sighed.
"Well, after this chibi, it's the chibi that won't shut up!" He snarled.
Yajuu and Naruto started running for Konohamaru when a small object was tossed and smacked the boy's hand hard enough to make him bleed. Konohamaru was dropped and Yajuu and Naruto looked in the direction the object was thrown from.
Sasuke sat in a tree, tossing a small stone in his hand. Yajuu smiled brightly, until it hit her that he had just been sitting there this whole time.
"Sasuke! What took you so long?"
Sasuke ignored Yajuu. "What do you think you're doing in someone else's Village?"
Sakura squealed. Naruto looked annoyed.
"Another punk to tick me off." The boy snarled, holding his hand in pain.
Sasuke stopped tossing the rock and crushed it in his hand easily. Yajuu smacked herself in the forehead. "Get lost." Sasuke said coolly as he let the now sand fall from his hand slowly.
"WOW! SO COOL!" Moegi, Udon and Sakura all cheered.
Naruto and Konohamaru stood with tears running down their face. Embarrased tears. Konohamaru pointed at Naruto and cried, "Naruto oniichan, You're lame!"
Naruto quickly knelt down and placed his hand on the crying boy's shoulder. "S-stupid! I would've taken down that thug too!"
Yajuu could feel Naruto's anger. Great.
"Hey! Why don't you get down from there. You're the kind of smart aleck chibi punk that I despise the most." The boy said and grabbed his mummy…thing and started unwrapping it.
"Wait! You aren't thinking of using Crow, are you?" The girl said in shock. Yajuu looked at the mummy thing for a moment, confused. But her mind was quickly distracted when she felt bloodlust fill the air.
Yajuu began to tremble as the feeling began to overcome her. Naruto noticed Yajuu's shivers and quickly went to hug her; unaware as to why she was so scared. Then everyone knew why she was trembling with a need for blood in her eyes.
"Kankuro, stop that." A red headed boy said. He stood upside-down on a tree branch right beside Sasuke, but it looked like the Uchiha hadn't even noticed him there. "You're an embarrassment to our village." He said calmly as the boy and girl foreigners looked at him in fear.
"g-gaara." Kankuro said with a worried smile. Gaara looked towards Yajuu's direction with anger. Yajuu looked up at him and growled softly, her eyes starting to swirl into a silver. Naruto quickly poked her cheeks and forced her to look at him.
"Yaj.. He what's going on? You're not letting it control you are you?" Naruto said, trying to get her to focus on him. It worked.
Yajuu calmed down as the other's started to notice her weird behavior.
"Thanks naru-kun." She said happily and then looked at the others with a brave look.
Gaara and Sasuke had been watching her the whole time though, and noticed the sudden change. Sasuke's detective skills were failing him as he battled himself inside as to why she was so weird all of a sudden.
"Why do you think we came all the way here to the Leaf Village?" Gaara growled.
Kankuro looked like he was going to pee his pants. "P-please listen G-gaara. T-they lashed out first."
"Shut up. I'll kill you." Yajuu looked at the reaction from the girl and guy and was shocked. They gave up so easily with this guy.
"I understand. I was in the wrong. Gomen, gomen." Kankuro said, his voice trembling.
Gaara looked in the groups' direction and said, "I'm sorry about that." Gaara quickly turned into sand and then let his body fall and reform next to the girl. "Let's go. We didn't come here to play around." Gaara said, his back facing everyone as he started walking away.
"Hold it!" Sakura said and ran in the front of the kids. The 3 stopped and looked back at her. "Judging by your hitai-te you're Shinobi from the Village Hidden in the Sand, right? Without question, the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind are allied nations. But the arbitrary coming and going of Shinobi is supposed to be prohibited by the treaty. State you're purpose!"
The girl sighed and looked at Sakura, clearly annoyed. "Hmph! So this is what they mean by the darkest place being under the candlestick. Don't you know anything? My permit." The girl said and lifted her card up for them to see. "As you say, we're Sand Village Genins from the Land of Wind. We came to this village to take the Chuunin exams."
"Chuunin Exam?" Naruto asked, confused.
Yajuu looked at the group with wide eyes. "You mean the exam is coming up?"
"What is the Chuunin Exam anyways, dattebayo?" Naruto asked.
The girl smirked and folded her arms. "You really don't know anything do you?"
Konohamaru went over to Naruto and whispered loudly to him, "Oniichan, if you pass the exam you can become a Chuunin from a Genin!"
"I see! Then, maybe I'll try taking them!" Naruto said with a huge smile. Yajuu grumbled to herself. No one had answered her question yet.
Sasuke jumped down from the tree carefully and with ease. "Hey! You there. What's your name?" Sasuke inquired to group. Yajuu groaned. That Kankuro kid had said it like 15 times!
The girl turned around and pointed at herself. "Wh-what, me?"
"No! The gourd next to you!" Sasuke snapped.
Gaara turned and faced Sasuke, saying, "I'm Gaara of the Desert. I have an interest in you and the girl as well. What's your name?"
"Sasuke Uchiha." Sasuke said with a cocky smile. Yajuu bit her tongue, refusing to say anything to this freak. Silence filled the air as well as tension.
"Say! Say! What about me? What about me?" Naruto asked, pointing to himself, ruining that tension.
"Not interested." Gaara said and jumped away. Yajuu looked back at Naruto who was sitting down talking to Konohamaru.
Sasuke moved to touch her shoulder and gain her attention. "Hey… Yaj.. What was that all about? Your eyes changed color and you were growling at him. You know that right?"
Yajuu blushed and shrugged. "I don't know what you're talking about Tori-tori. Maybe the tension was getting to you?" Yajuu tried lying. She smiled and walked over to Naruto's side, hugging him quickly. "Naru-kun, I think you looked strong!"
"Sasuke I won't lose to you!" Naruto shouted loudly.
Sasuke looked at him confused. "What's gotten into you all of a sudden?"
-X—
Sakura, Sasuke, Yajuu and Naruto all stood in the meeting place. A now very familiar bridge to the group. It had been a few days since the informal meeting of the Sand Village Ninja and Yajuu had noticed plenty of other Nations walking around the village. Every nation but her own. They had never participated in the Chuunin Exams. Not once.
"Say! Say! What is it with him and calling us out all of a sudden? And, then showing up late?" Sakura squealed.
Naruto punched the air as he loudly yelled, "That's right! That's right!"
"What's he going to do about the feelings of a maiden who accidentally overslept and resigned herself to no blow-drying?" Sakura growled out.
Naruto was just as cheerful as ever. "I overslept, so I haven't washed my face and didn't brush my teeth, dattebayo!"
Sakura looked at Naruto as if he had a disease. "Y-you… that's gross."
Saskue looked annoyed, but Yajuu could tell he was just sleepy. The two had gotten in a fight once again, but this time Sasuke was gaining a bruise on her ribs. Yajuu had kicked him multiple times, instead of once in the face.
Yajuu sat on the railing next to Sasuke and hummed gently as they waited for Kakashi.
Yajuu and Sasuke both looked up and noticed Kakashi crouched down on the wood above the bridge. "Hey, good morning, guys. Today I got a bit lost on the path of life."
Sakura and Naruto pointed at Kakashi with a glare. "Right! That's a lie!"
Kakashi jumped down, preparing himself for Yajuu's routine scolding. But when he stood there waiting, nothing happened. She just stood smiling away.
"uh…well. This is sudden, but I recommended you guys for the Chuunin Exam, so here are your applications." He said handing the cards out to the four. Everybody took them quickly and looked them over excitedly. "That being said, the recommendations are not compulsory. You guys are free to decide whether you take the exam or not."
Naruto and Yajuu jumped onto the man quickly, latching onto him. "Alright!" Screamed Naruto.
"I love you, Kaka-sensei!" Yajuu squealed.
Kakashi flailed and desperately tried shaking them off. "Hey! Guys! Get off already!" He took a few steps back before saying, "Only those who want to take the Exam, sign that application and come to Room 301 of the Academy at 3:00 p.m. five days from now. That's all!"
"Chuunin Exam! Chuunin Exam!" Naruto cheered happily.
-X—
"I bet lots of strong guys would be there!" Naruto looked over and Glared at Sasuke, who was once again, not paying attention to him at all. Sasuke was busy smacking Yajuu's hand sas she tried to poke his bruises.
-X—
The group had all spilt up and gone in separate directions, and Yajuu was now left all alone. She was walking through the village and talking to herself. She was surprised when a black haired man with long spiky hair touched her shoulder. She looked up at him and smiled.
"yes?" Yajuu asked the man. He must've been around his mid 20's.
"Oh.. You're not her." He said softly. Yajuu looked at the man confused.
"Who are you looking for?" She asked.
The man stared at her for a moment. "You have her eyes though. And her hair." He said gently touching her hair. Yajuu blushed and took a step back.
"Um, sir? If you need help finding a last person I can offer that service, but I'd rather you not touch me." Yajuu said with a confused look.
The man bowed. "Gomen ma'am. I have mistaken you for someone else."
"Well no duh moron. I've already said that.' Yajuu thought.
"I will not trouble you anymore." He said and quickly disappeared. He was a shinobi? But she hadn't seen a symbol or a hitai-te on him.
'Someone with my eyes?'
Hey, I think I've seen him before.
'Did you know him before being sealed into me?'
I think so
Yajuu thought about this. What a strange encounter.
She continued to walk through the village with a skip in her step. She decided she wanted to take a walk through the forest. She hadn't been there since she first showed up in the Village.
Yajuu walked through the woods smiling, listening to the sounds of the birds and animals. The wind gently blowing. She continued through until she heard the sound of someone kicking wood. Yajuu was curious and followed the noise to a boy in a green jumpsuit, ramming his leg quickly into the trunk of a tree.
She watched as he counted out loud, and smiled at his work.
"If I don't make it to 2,000 sidekicks then I will do 4,000 hand-stand push-ups!" He shouted out as he counted more. Another 4 to go and he wouldn't have to do the push-ups. Yajuu stepped out from behind the bushes she hide behind and walked closer to him. This kid was different from her team.
"Excuse me?" She said softly and watched as the boy jumped into the air, yelling. She looked at him and blinked confused.
"Oh , you snuck up on me my fair maiden! I apologize for the unpredictable jump and scream." He said and stood up straight. Yajuu stared at him with a surprised look. From behind this guy looked awesome. From the front… He looked like a bushy-browed monster with wide eyes.
"My name is Rock Lee! I am the star pupil of the mighty Might Guy-sensei!" The boy announced. Yajuu giggled.
"My name is Yajuu. I'm the peace keeper of Kaka-sensei's team." She smiled.
Rock lee stared at her confused for a moment. "Kaka-sensei?"
Yajuu blushed and nodded. "Kakashi? Do you know him?"
Rock lee clenched is fist quickly. "Do I know him? Of course I know him! He is the mightiest rival of my sensei!" Yajuu giggled once again. This kid was different. He watched her smile with a large one of his own. "Your cheery personality shows the youth springing to life within you! I have made my decision! I will take you in as my pupil and show you to Guy-sensei!"
Yajuu stopped smiling. "Pupil? I… I don't know about"
"You cannot deny it! The youth inside you! I will make you stronger my pupil!" He shouted out into the forest. "Now! We must go Yajuu!" He said and grabbed her hand, running quickly through the forest, faster than her legs could take her.
"LEEE! I CAN'T RUN THIS FAST!" She shouted and screamed as her leg caught a hold of a tree root, tripping her and dragging Lee down with her in a youthful whiplash fashion.
Lee groaned and rubbed his knees. Yajuu groaned and sat up in the dirt. That didn't feel great. She looked at Lee with a blush and then looked away. Lee knelt down and wiped the dirt off her cheeks.
"I apologize fair maiden. I did not realize that you could not keep up with my youthful speed. This will be one of the things I will help you work on!" He shouted again and smiled. Yajuu reached her hands out for Lee's cheeks and gently pat them.
"I want a piggyback if we run." Yajuu pouted. Lee stood and placed his hand on his hips in a youthful way.
"Of course you may latch onto my back. We must reach Guy-sensei before he embraces his rivalry with Kakashi." Rock Lee said. Yajuu jumped up and quickly crawled onto his back and hugged his neck. "Are you ready Yajuu-chan?" Yajuu nodded and they started off towards this mighty Guy-sensei. Yajuu thought about what this man must look like.
Once they got to him she gave an embarrassed sigh.
"So this is your pupil now? How amazing it is that my Lee has taken on his first pupil. And at such a young age! You're youth is glowing Lee!" Guy shouted and the two embraced each other tightly. Yajuu watched with a shocked look on her face. This Guy-sensei looked exactly like lee, but Kakashi's age.
"My eyes are melting." Yajuu whispered.
