I woke up feeling slightly dizzy. Soon i remember the kind and mysterious redhead Gaara. I try to remember what happened exactly.
"I sang him a song to make him fall asleep, but ended up falling in sleep instead. How did i end up here in bed? Could it be that, Gaara carried me?" I blush slightly at the thought of him.
He intrigued me with his beautiful eyes, that held unknown emotions hidden in I could tell that he wasn't much of a talker. I didn't mind though, i liked the silence between us. But when he started to talk, i felt a wave of butterflies tickling inside my stomach.
I fall back onto my pillow and look at the ceiling. "Am i falling in love with him?"
But what about Naruto? Did i feel the same about him? No, not really. I feel more like a big sister over him, even thought i kissed him.
I frown, not wanting to hurt Naruto. "I must tell him about my feelings."
I sit up in bed and look at my clock . "SHIT! I have to go to the Chuunin Exam !"
_
I met Sasuke,Sakura and Naruto along the way to the building where they held the Chuunin Exam.
My heart was pounding i my chest. I had to tell Naruto, before the Chuunin Exam, i wouldn't be able to concentrate.
I look at Naruto, and tap his shoulder. He looks at me , his bright blue eyes shining with curiosity.
"Naruto can we talk." He nods and smiles. I gesture to Sasuke and Sakura to wait and then walk to a bench near us.
"What's wrong Azami?" I gave him a sad smile.
"Naruto, i don't want to hurt your feelings but, i'm not really in love with you. I like you more as a little brother." I look away not wanting to see the hurt in his eyes, but instead i hear him chuckle.
"I'm glad you told me this Azami. I have been thinking about it as well. I feel the same way. That day that i kissed you, was because i was worried and i felt like i have to protect you. So i guess i kinda mixed those feelings up with love." He grins sheepish.
I hug Naruto. "Thank you, Naruto. For understanding and feeling the same. Now lets kick some Ass!" I grin and drag Naruto by his arm to Sasuke and Sakura.
"Can we go now?" Sakura asks.
"Lets go Team 7!" I punch my fist in the air , grinning like a maniac.
I might be able to see Gaara again._
We arive at the second floor to find loads of Ninja's waiting there before a door.
I raise and eyebrow when i see a guy similair to Gai drop to the ground after getting punched.
The guys that punched him are blocking the door. I look up by the door to see the numbers 301.
"You're trying to take the Chuunin Exam with that kind of level?" The guy on the right of the door says.
I look at my team. Luckily they already saw through the Genjutsu, for this is the second floor and not the third.
"Maybe you should quit, Kids." The left one by the door says.
An argument starts between the two by the door and a girl with two buns.
"That's a sound argument. But i will pass." Sasuke steps forward, hands in his pockets.
"And undo to this field you've created using an illusion technique. I want to go to the third floor."
I hear people behind me whispering, i guess they didn't notice the Genjutsu.
I'm glad i left Minichi at home, i wouldn't want him to get hurt.
"Oh!"
"You noticed!"
"Sakura, how about you? You should've noticed first. " Sasuke looks at Sakura.
I raise an eyebrow. Sakura looks a bit down. What's wrong.
"Sasuke...thank you. Of course i noticed it already. Because this is the second floor!" Sakura says, her face back to normal again.
Well that was a short depression. Guess she's jus nervous..
"You're pretty good. But just being able to detect it isn't enough..." The guy by the door smirks and reached out with his leg to kick Sasuke.
Sasuke, being the sharp kid he his, does the same.
I blink for a second when i see that the guy that resembles Gai stopped their feet with his bare hands. Mini Gai is strong !
The girl with the buns and a guy with long hair and no pupils walk over to the Gai clone.
"Hey, you broke the promise. You're the one that didn't want to gather attention by doing something that stands out." The guy with no pupil says.
The Gai clone looks over at Sakura. "But..." His cheeks getting red.
The girl with the buns shakes her head. "She must be why..."
I lean in to Sakura and whisper. "Run Sakura! Before it's too late!"
She raises her eyebrow, not understanding what i meant.
I shake my head. "Poor girl."
The gai clone walks over to Sakura.
"My name is Rock Lee. You're Sakura right? Let's go out together! I will protect you until i die!" He strikes a Gai pose and i can't help but burst out in laughter.
Ofcourse Sakura declines the request right away.
"You're to unique for my tastes."
The awkward moment between the two only makes me laugh harder. Rolling over the floor holding my stomach.
"Hey you there." Its the guy with no pupils and he is talking to Sasuke."Identify yourself."
Sasuke turns around with a bored look. "You're supposed to identify yourself before you ask."
The guy ignores his question. "Your a Rookie aren't you? How old are you?"
"I'm not obligated to answer that."
"What?!" The guy seemed ticked off.
Tsk, serves him right.
Sasuke turns around, while i get on my feet.
"Lets go, i'm getting impatient" I growl and drag Naruto and Sakura with me to the third floor. Sasuke just follows behind us.
While we walk up the stairs to the third floor, i keep thinking about those eyes. Those beautiful eyes. They held something dark, yet he didn't scare me at all. He was rather mysterious. I hope he passes the tests. I blush i also hope i can see him again, and that he recognizes me. Yesterday night...
flashback:
"Why are you here?" He suddenly asks. I stare at him and then close my eyes for a second, when i open them i see him staring at me. "Because i have allot on my mind lately. I just need some time to think. How about you?" He frowns and looks away. " i can't sleep."
End flashback
Those eyes keep haunting my thoughts. I guess i'm really falling for him.
"You with the sharp eyes. wait."
I groan, slightly getting annoyed. "What now!"
We turn around to see 's eyes start to twitch.
"What do you want?" Sasuke says.
"Will you fight me right here and now?"
God this guy is persistent. I let out a growl, im getting impatient.
I sit down against a pillar and close my eyes ,Ignoring the Lee Guy and Sasuke.
"What if we have a realy big fight as a test, we shouldn't waste our energy on such low humans." I open my eyes to see that they started the fight already. Man , Lee is fast!
I cross my arms, humming a song that i suddenly seem to remember from my past.
Wait what ! I remember something from my past?! I frown , how is this possible. Could it be that it is because i'm now whole?
I shrug it off and look up to see Sasuke defeated.
"Hm , Baka!" I mumble and get on my feet.
I almost faint when i see this huge talking red turtle.
"Lee, that move is forbidden." The turtle says to Lee.
I raise an eyebrow. Am i still dreaming? What does a talking turtle do here?
Suddenly there is a lot of smoke to reveal GAI! He poses in a very disturbing way.
My eyes pop out and my mouth hangs open in shock. What the hell?
"I think i'm going to have nightmares now."
"Hey, Lee." Gai smiles, his teeth shining.
"Super unique and super bobbed hair..." Sakura says.
"And super eyebrows... This is the first time i've ever seen such thing." Naruto states, shivering slightly.
"Hey! don't make fun of Gai Sensei!" Lee shouts angry.
I chuckle. I already met Gai Sensei when they found me in the forest.
I start zoning out thinking back at that silly moment when they asked me to come to Konohana.
Flashback:
I tapped my chin. "Okay, I'll come with you. But on one condition!" I put on a very serious face.
Guy strikes a weird pose again. "Anything for the power of YOUTH!"
Kakashi looks curious. "And what is that one condition?"
"I want to take Minichi with me!" My serious face takes place for a very happy one.
Kakashi smiles a closed eye smile. "Sure."
Flashback ends
Im pretty glad that they found me. I wouldn't have met all these amazing people.
"He is looking this way!" I hear Sakura yell.
I look at Gai who is smiling at us.
"Hey Azami, how are you !~Haven't seen you in a while. You sure have grown since the last time i saw you!"
I smile at him, ignoring the weird looks from my team. "I'm very good, how about you?"
He strikes a weird pose. "I'm always good, for its the power of YOUTH!"
He looks at the rest of my team. "You four , is Kakashi doing well?"
"You know Kakashi?" Sasuke asks.
"I don't just know him." He chuckles and rubs his chin. "People call us eternal rivals!"
I sweatdrop. He is the one who calls them that.
"That sounds so fake!" Naruto and Sakura scream in unison.
Lee starts scolding them for being rude to his sensei.
Suddenly Gai is standing behind us.
He is very fast...
"The record stands at 50 wins and 49 losses."
My team turns around shocked. Probably because he was so fast.
Gai start brabeling about how he is so much stronger then Kakashi.
I start to tap my feet on the ground impatiently.
If this keeps up i'll blow there heads off and take the chuunin exam myself.
Gai dissepears, leaving Lee behind.
"Sasuke... Let me say this before i go. To be honest i came here to test my skills. I lied a while ago. the strongest genina of Konohana is in my team. I entered this exam to defeat him. And you are one of my targets as well. Prepare yourself for the exam!"
Then he leaves, leaving a ticked off Sasuke behind.
"Looks like the Uchiha clan isn't that great after all." Naruto states, Mocking Sasuke.
Sakura tenses. "Naruto!"
"Shut up! Next time i'll slaughter him."
"And i'll slaughter all of you if i have to wait any longer!" I grunt a annoyed look on my face.
The tree of them look at me with shocked faces.
"Y-Yes lets go!" Sakura stutters, looking nervous.
"This is getting interesting, the chuunin exam that is." Sasuke growls.
"Yeah yeah, Lets go NOW!"
They all nod and we walk towards the door where the first exam will be held.
_
There infront of the door is standing kakashi.
"I see, so Sakura came as well. You can now officially register for the Chuunin Exam!"
I frown growing an irk mark. "What is it with all these people slowing us down today!" I mumble and march towards Kakashi.
"Save the talk for later , let us through , Im getting sick of waiting! I can't take it no more! I'm going to blow up this building if i have to wait any longer!" I take a deep breath and sigh.
Kakashi looks at me, slightly startled by my sudden outburst, and then looks at my team.
"Was she like this the whole time?"
They all nod. I turn around and glare at them. "THEN STOP MAKING ME WAIT!" I let out a frustrated growl and kick the doors open, revealing a room full of grumpy looking genins looking at us.
"WHAT, WHAT IS-MMMPH!" Sakura has covered my mouth with her hands.
"Calm down, Azami, we might get into trouble!" Hm, she's right. I nod and she takes of her hands.
"SASUKE, Your late!" I look around to see a girl glomping Sasuke. He doesn't look to happy about it though and so does Sakura.
"I've been eagerly waiting for you ever since i heard that i could see you for the first time in a long time."
"Get away from Sasuke you Ino Pig." Sakura yells.
And she stopped me from yelling... I sweatdrop..
I ignore the two girls and look around the room, only to meet two Sea-green orbs that had been haunting me all day. I blush when i see him. His face emotionless but yet curious.
He just stares at me with those eyes. It reminded me of when we where sitting on the rooftop together.
He was still looking at me. Could it be that he felt the same way?
It made me kind of nervous.
Suddenly i see a small almost unnoticeable smile tugging at his lips. My eyes widen, my face growing red and i quickly turn around. I can feel my heart pounding in my chest.
"D-Did he just , smile at me?" I whisper to myself. My head is so red as a tomato and my hands are shaking.
"is this what it feels to be in Love?"
"Whats with the tomato girl?" I hear someone suddenly say.
I turn to my team to see people from my class of the academy.
The one who said that was the boy with a dog on his head.
"Shut it, Kiba, she must be nervous." Sakura yells.
So his name is Kiba.
Kiba walks over to me and stops only a inch before me. I could even feel his breath on my face, and he smelled like dog.
"You don't say, Well i think she was blushing! I saw her looking at someone." I glare at him. Knowing that everybody was going to ask questions.
"Who! Who is it !" Naruto and Sakura scream in unison.
"Ugh , how troublesome." Shikamaru yawns.
I blush even more, making everybody chuckle.
This is beyond embarrassing. I frown and avert my eyes to Gaara. My eyes widen when i see him chuckling as well.
I turn my head and look at the ground. "Scratch that, this is the most embarrassing day of my life."
I feel an hand tap on my shoulder and i look up to see Hinata. "D-Dont worry, Azami. T-They are only teasing you." I nod and smile at her. "How are you doing Hinata?"
"V-very good thank you"
"Hey you guys!"
A guy with Grey hair in a ponytail and glasses comes walking our way.
"You should quiet down a little. So you are the nine rookies that just graduated from the academy, right?"
