The only thing that is keeping me company on my walk is my own bipolar thoughts. Geez, that's kind of sad.
I just got back from a VERY boring mission and it was so boring that I literally just wanted to stick needles into my eyes. We had to babysit a little spider and just watch it for three hours in it's cage.
Like, WHAT?! How is that even considered a mission?! Oh well. At least it's over with and I'm so happy that it is. SIGH.
It didn't help either that Sasuke and Naruto were constantly bickering the entire time. You have NO idea how badly I wanted to buy earplugs...
After the mission was over, I asked my two teammates if they wanted to train with me since our last mission was so pointless, and Naruto happily wanted to train with me of course but not Sasuke. The butt had the nerve to rudely reject me by saying, "I train alone. Besides, you wouldn't be able to keep up with me. You're even more worse than Naruto."
WHAT. THE. FRICK?!
Yup. Naruto had to hold me back from pounding Sasuke into smithereens while he just so calmly walked away as if he never said NOTHING. That butt.
His words totally destroyed my motivation and I felt so annoyed that I didn't want to train anymore, so I told Naruto that I just wanted to go home. He understood of course.
So here I am, walking home by myself while doubting my abilities as a ninja because of stupid Sasuke, and I'm also thinking about my stupid messed up love life. Honestly, I don't even want to consider it my love life, just messed up. Maybe I should just stay single for the rest of my life? SIGH.
My thoughts were like a never ending tornado, I swear. They kept spinning and spinning in my head and I thought I was going to faint or die or something. It's mostly because I couldn't get Naruto and Sasuke out of my head. Well, more importantly Naruto...
What he said yesterday had a really big effect on me. I had trouble sleeping all last night because I couldn't stop thinking about Naruto and my frigging blushing wouldn't go away as usual either, which frustrated me very much. His selfless words made my heart feel so many things yesterday and I also feel so happy because of them. Naruto is such a great guy, shouldn't I know if I like him or not by now?
Well, I don't, and it sucks, because I feel like a total BUTT.
Speaking of butts...
Sadly, I also thought about Sasuke too. Lately he has been acting as if we never had kissed and it even seems that he's trying to avoid me too. Is he embarrassed or something?
SIGH.
I'm too young to be worrying about such romantic things. I didn't even know boys their age would even care for romance that much, especially Sasuke. Well, maybe they don't. Maybe they both just ended up genuinely falling for me...?
I don't know. Could be or not or-GAH! JUST FORGET IT!
...
Those weren't my only thoughts though. Oh no. What Sasuke said earlier today had really PISSED ME OFF but...also saddened me.
He pretty much implied that I was weak. How could he even say that?! Did he not see my strength during our journey to the Wave Country?! It just makes so angry, so fired up!
But..
It also made an unwanted question linger in my mind...
Am I really the weakest member of Team 7?
Yes, I admit that I have gotten stronger, but my two other teammates always seem to outshine me no matter how strong I get. That's totally not fair!
I turned the corner to suddenly see Naruto chatting with three little kids and his arms were aloofly behind his head.
"Naruto?" I asked confused and I walked up to them.
Naruto grinned as he slightly turned to face me and he calmly said, "Oh, hey Sakura."
"Hey boss, who is this chick?" a little boy cautiously whispered to Naruto and he kept eyeing me multiple times.
I saw Naruto start to blush and he bashfully rubbed the back of his head. "Oh... She's... Um..."
The little boy then smirked and started to chuckle. "OH! I see. Heehee... She's your girlfriend isn't she?"
I flinched and my cheeks instantly turned flamingo pink at imagining myself as Naruto's girlfriend.
Blushing, Naruto laughed nervously as he continued to rub the back of his head, and the blond mumbled, "Geez, you guys are pretty insightful..."
Immediately, my eyes grew super mega-wide as I blushed even more, and I shyly yelled while clenching my fists, "B-But! H-He's... He's not-"
Growling. We then heard growling from behind us.
The four of us turned around to see a ferocious looking dog that was unbelievably huge and I swear that his eyes appeared to be glowing a demonic red.
It then started to charge at us and the four of us all screamed.
"RUN!" the little boy dramatically shouted.
"Come on, Sakura-chan!" Naruto then urged in a whisper and he suddenly grabbed onto my right hand.
Feeling his tender grip on my hand made me blush like a crazy person, also causing my heart to tingle a tiny bit too, and we then both started to run away with the other three little kids.
Our hands remained locked the entire time as we ran...
The little boy then turned the corner and he brutally fell backwards on his butt when he bumped into someone.
"Hey, that hurt. You little runt."
The remaining three of us then stood behind the little boy and there was two strangers standing in front of us. One was a girl and her dirty blonde hair was put up into four pigtails, which I didn't even know was possible, and she didn't look too happy. The other person was a guy who was wearing all black and it looked like he had a fight with a paintbrush or something because there was purple markings all over his face. It also looked like he was carrying a mummy on his back or something. He didn't look too happy either.
Out of nowhere, the guy then picked the kid up by relentlessly grabbing onto his shirt, and he cruelly stated, "You annoying little pest, I'll crush you!"
"HEY! YOU LET HIM GO NOW, ASSHOLE!" Naruto angrily shouted, pure fury in his voice, and he let go of my hand to clench both of his fists.
Face turning blue in fear, I frowned, and meekly pleaded, "P-Please let him go!"
"Hey, stop it. We'll get in trouble..." the girl reluctantly mumbled as she adjusted a hand onto her hip and sighed.
"Chill. It's fine. Let's play with these guys a little before you know who shows up..." the guy nonchalantly retorted and chuckled.
"BASTARD!" Naruto abruptly shouted as he started to charge at the two to only be knocked down by the guy holding the little kid.
"Oof!" Naruto groaned as he fell on his bottom and he cringed in pain.
"Naruto!" I shouted in concern while I kneeled down next to him as the other two kids did as well and I put a hand onto his shoulder.
"A-Are you okay?" I asked very worried and frowned.
"I'm fine," Naruto grumbled as he slowly got up and my goofy teammate then pointed at the weirdo guy while fiercely shouting, "Damn it! Let him go already you bastard! OR ELSE!"
"Geez, you midgets are all so annoying. Especially younger ones that are rude. Makes me feel like killing them all..." the guy darkly said with a smirk and he held up a clenched fist, about to punch the boy.
The two other kids besides me started to cry and they both shouted very frightened, "KONOHAMARU!"
Instinctively, Naruto sprinted forwards, and roared, "DON'T!"
Before Naruto could actually get to the creep, a tiny stone had hit the guy's wrist with unbelievable force, causing him to let go of the little boy, and he slightly cringed.
"AH!" Konohamaru (the little boy's name I guess) let out a cry as his booty plummeted to the ground and he then frantically dashed up to Naruto.
The six of us then looked up to see Sasuke aloofly sitting on a tree branch as he tossed a stone multiple times with one hand and my unfriendly teammate glared at the weirdo guy.
"Get out of our village."
Sasuke's voice was so fierce but quiet, oozing with aloofness too, and he narrowed his eyes at the two strangers.
"Urgh... Great. Another guy who pisses me off..." the guy bitterly muttered and he held his injured wrist while gazing up at Sasuke.
The two other little kids eyes turned into hearts at seeing Sasuke and I think they were now transforming into those creepy Sasuke minions. Oh please no.
Naruto looked annoyed by Sasuke's presence of course and Konohamaru looked stunned.
"Boss... You're so not cool anymore..." I heard Konohamaru whisper to Naruto in disappointment and he crossed his arms.
"W-What?! Dummy, of course that guy is no match for me! I can pulverize him any day!" Naruto nervously assured the boy with a fake smile and he squatted down on his knees, making their eye level equal.
"Sure..." the boy huffed in disbelief and rolled his eyes.
Looking down, Naruto's sweat dropped, and he sighed, a depressing aura now surrounding him.
Poor Naruto. I think he's cool!
Looking back at Sasuke, I twitched, and couldn't believe what I was seeing. "Sasuke? What... What are you doing? W-Why are you up there like a monkey-"
Before I could say anymore, Sasuke flung the tiny stone he was holding at me, shutting me up, and it struck the very center of my large forehead.
I flinched once the tiny stone penetrated my forehead and I let out a faint shriek as my eyes grew stupendously wide.
"W-What's w-wrong w-with y-you?! W-Why did you do t-that?! I'LL KILL YOU!" I frenetically yelled while blushing like a mad woman in embarrassment and I waved my clenched fist at him as pure furry could be seen all over my face.
"CHA! I'LL KICK YOUR SCRAWNY LITTLE ASS! YOU ASSHOLE!" Inner me outrageously thundered, her eyes glowing a demonic gold color, and she firmly clenched her fists as a fiery aura surrounded her.
Sasuke didn't answer me as he wouldn't even look at me and the butt just continued to glare at the guy. "Get lost."
THAT BUTTHOLE!
My anger only increased and so did my twitching.
"Sasuke! Q-Quit trying to be cool! IT'S NOT WORKING!" I shouted directly at the Uchiha, very annoyed, and I was still blushing for some reason.
Stupid blushing. I hate it when I blush. Geez, that sounds so messed up...
Anyways...
Again. Sasuke ignored me AGAIN.
"Hn. Leave before I get annoyed." Was Sasuke's warning...
"Why don't you come down here and say it to my face, PUNK?" the mummy carrying dude urged and he suddenly started to take the mummy looking thing off of his back.
The girl widened her eyes in disbelief. "You're not really going to use that, are you?"
We all then heard an unexpected quiet but eerie voice...
"Stop. You're an embarrassment to our village..."
With shocked expressions, we all looked up to see a crimson haired boy standing upside down on a tree branch with his arms crossed, and he was on the same tree that Sasuke was on. He had such weird eyes. It looked like he had abused an eyeliner pencil or something because a dark inky substance seemed to circle around his deadly jade orbs. Either that or he probably just never sleeps. SHRUGS. Who knows.
Sasuke looked so shocked that he didn't even detect this guy before.
"Losing control so easily...how pathetic. Why do you think we even came to this village in the first place? We're not here to play games..." the red-headed guy scolded quietly and his voice was so calm, almost monotone.
Call me weird, but his voice kind of soothed me in a way. It was like music to my ears.
...
Okay. I'm weird. Sorry. Er, moving on...
"Listen Gaara... They started it, I swear!" the mummy guy nervously insisted and he seemed really frightened for some reason.
"Shut up. I'll kill you..."
Silence.
His voice was so dark, so quiet, so cruel sounding, and just so...menacing.
Okay. Now I can see why he's so frightened.
"I'm sorry...really sorry..." the mummy guy apologized, his voice shaky, and he looked down in guilt.
Gaara (I'm assuming that's his name) then looked at Sasuke and serenely said, "Sorry to you guys."
Suddenly, sand briskly circled his entire body, and he reappeared next to the two strangers in an instant, the sand soon subsiding right after.
WHAT. THE. HECK?!
Okay. When I was little, I was scared to get freaking sand in my eyes, but this GUY. H-He... He just... Wow. I'm speechless.
"Let's get out of here..." Gaara coldly but calmly ordered and he turned to leave.
I then noticed that their headbands were different than ours and I narrowed my eyes in suspicion as I took a step forward.
"WAIT! Judging from your headbands, if I can recall from my studies, you guys are from the Sand Village, correct? Well, you might be allies with our village but... It's forbidden for Shinobis to enter each other's villages without permission," I sternly proclaimed with fierce eyes and then continued on, "So state your purpose. Depending on it, we may not be able to let you go..."
Whoa. I wasn't expecting myself to say THAT. Well, yeah, I'm not as shy as I used to be, but I'm still really shy around people I barely know sometimes. And I'm also really surprised I said that because...
These people are really scary.
The dirty blonde haired girl sighed and pulled out something that looked like a pass port. "Man, you guys are clueless... See my pass? The three of us are here to enter the Chunin Exams. Amazing Genins from neighboring countries assemble to take an exam to become a Chunin each year. The main purpose is to improve relationships between the allies and to increase the Shinobi level but also each country likes to maintain power and balance and-"
"Hey Konohamaru! Think I should enter this Chunin Exam thing?!" Naruto eagerly asked the little boy while smiling and he chuckled.
"You idiot! DON'T INTERRUPT ME!" the girl exploded very frustrated and she clenched her right fist.
Out of nowhere, Sasuke then appeared right in front of me, his back facing me of course, and he asked in a stern manner, "Hey you. What's your name?"
The dirty blonde girl with the four pigtails blushed. "Huh? You mean me?"
"No. You with the gourd..." Sasuke corrected quietly and his eyes were intently scrutinizing Gaara.
The gourd dude was quiet for a moment.
"Gaara of the Desert. I'm also interested in your name?"
Sasuke smirked and said proudly,"I'm Sasuke Uchiha."
The wind then dramatically rushed through them. Oh geez. Is Sasuke now in love with this guy or something?
"HEY! WHAT ABOUT ME?! HUH?! DON'T YOU WANT TO KNOW MY NAME TOO?!" Naruto blithely questioned, very loudly might I add, and my blond teammate pointed to himself.
A bored expression filled Gaara's face and he muttered, "Not interested. Let's go..."
Naruto looked like he wanted to whimper or something as he cried fake tears.
Again. POOR NARUTO.
Gaara and the rest of his team then hustled away...
I then remembered earlier that a dog was freaking chasing us before and I frantically turned around to see it no where in sight. Bewildered, I turned back around, and shrugged. Oh well.
Go figure.
The next day.
It was really early in the morning and my two teammates and I had been waiting for our Sensei to show up for three hours now.
"Geez, where is he?" I asked no one in particular while I crossed my arms and major annoyance could be heard in my voice as I frowned.
Naruto shrugged and laughed. "Maybe he just doesn't want to deal with Sasuke's egoistic attitude?"
Sasuke glared at Naruto, his eyes like daggers, and he questioned in a mutter, "What did you say, loser?"
I softly laughed. "That's actually a good theory, Naruto!"
Naruto chuckled. "Thanks Sakura-chan."
"Can you two shut up already?" Sasuke irritably asked, obviously very annoyed while offended, and he twitched in anger.
"Only if you stop being such a cranky butt!" I teased with a giggle as I then pulled out one of his hairs, causing him to cringe in pain, and he instantly whirled around to glare at me.
"What the hell was that for?!" Sasuke fiercely demanded as he twitched and his vein popped.
I then sniffed the tiny strand of hair that I stole from him and nodded. "Yep. Just as I expected... You don't take enough showers. Geez, no wonder you're so grumpy all the time-"
Enraged, Sasuke grabbed ahold of my wrist as he blushed, and he ferociously yelled, "IDIOT! GIVE THAT BACK!"
Blushing, I held onto the strand of hair with all my might as he struggled to retrieve it, and I frantically shouted, "I-IT'S J-JUST A-A H-HAIR! YOU WEIRDO! S-STOP I-IT!"
"HEY! QUIT TOUCHING SAKURA-CHAN LIKE THAT!" Naruto fiercely yelled and he tackled Sasuke to the ground.
The two were now wrestling and my eyes turned into two little black dots.
WHAT. JUST. HAPPENED?!
"GET OFF ME YOU LOSER!"
"NOT UNTIL YOU APOLOGIZE TO SAKURA-CHAN YOU BASTARD!"
I blushed at hearing Naruto's words and there was this innocent look on my face.
It's weird but I kind of like Naruto's protectiveness over me. Well, they both are pretty over-protective of me now that I think about it, but...
I don't want to be protected.
Kakashi then appeared. "Sorry guys. I got lost on the path of life-...Whoa."
My two teammates then separated, stood, and brushed themselves off.
"About time..." Sasuke grumbled annoyed and he crossed his arms.
"Anyways... This is really sudden but I nominated you guys to enter the Chunin Exams. Here are your applications..." Kakashi tranquilly proclaimed as he handed us our applications and our Sensei continued on, "Those who wish to take it should sign those papers and turn them in room 301 by 4pm tomorrow."
Naruto then glomped Kakashi. "KAKASHI SENSEI! I LOVE YOU!"
My sweat dropped and I let out a nervous laugh.
"Hey get off of me!" Kakashi awkwardly yelled and Naruto finally got off of him.
Our Sensei sighed and then said, "Well, that is all."
He then disappeared in less than a second.
Silence.
Naruto twitched.
"WE WAITED THREE HOURS FOR THAT?!"
Four hours later.
I'm currently standing on my balcony and I can't stop thinking about those darn exams. It's really bothering. Will I able able to keep up with those other two?
"Hey Sakura."
I looked down to see Sasuke and he was smiling at me. Yes. I repeat...
SMILING.
Twitching, I reluctantly asked, "Sasuke? What are you doing here...?"
"Wanna go on a walk with me?" Sasuke aloofly asked and he adjusted his hands into his pockets.
I blushed and I twitched so much that it probably looked like I was a having a seizure or something.
WALK?! A WALK?!
Okay. Something is up...
I twitched even more. "Why... Why do you want to walk with me? You would never ask that."
"Just come on already..." he mumbled and that alien smile of his still remained.
My twitching never stopped.
"Er... Okay."
Fifteen minutes later.
The two of us walked to this deserted field in silence and it was oddly foggy out.
"So... Why did you ask me to walk with you?" I hesitantly asked and frowned.
"Sakura, I wanted to tell you that I care about you, and that... I don't want you taking the exams. It's for your own safety. I don't want you getting hurt."
Eyes growing wide, I blushed, and couldn't believe what he had just said.
I then narrowed my eyes, now fully realizing what was REALLY going on, and the fierceness in my voice sounded so menacing.
"Okay. Cut the crap and the stupid act. I know that you're NOT Sasuke! He wouldn't be this much of a weirdo to me! I can easily see through your Genjutsu too! Now show yourself!"
The fake Sasuke started to chuckle and he transformed into a strange looking ninja. "Smart girl... You've figured out the illusion but can you dodge THIS?!"
The creepy ninja them hurled a bunch of Kunai Knives at me and I dodged them by simply leaping up into the air and I threw a bunch of Kunai back at him. He dodged them of course. GR.
We were both now on opposite ends of the field.
Him on the left and myself was on the right.
Promptly, I took out a single Kunai from my pouch, and held it out to the side.
"Come at me! I'm not scared!" I boldly declared, my voice quiet but ferocious, and my fierce eyes pierced right through him.
He just chuckled and vanished away.
Huh? What was that about?! Where did he go?! THE HECK?!
I frantically looked around and he was nowhere to be found.
Hm.
The next day.
I feel so dizzy now since I literally trained for hours last night after that ninja tried to attack me and I ended up going to bed around midnight. That was dumb of me because now I feel like my limbs are going to fall off at any moment or something. Geez, I feel so incredibly tired. I must look like a zombie. Not good.
Even though I ferociously trained like a gladiator last night, I still feel really scared about the exams, and I'm so terrified that I won't be able to keep up with the others. Hopefully I'll be some use to the team and hopefully I'll survive. GULP.
What's even worse is that I'm a little late right now. I kind of slept in. Gosh,
I hope they're not mad at me.
The academy was then in sight and I saw my two teammates standing in front of it.
Naruto happily waved at me. "SAKURA-CHAN!"
I finally walked up to them as I faked a smile and sheepishly said, "Hi guys..."
Naruto then looked puzzled and asked, "You okay, Sakura-chan? You look really tired."
I closed my eyes and forced my fake smile to grow even bigger. "I-I'm fine."
From the corner of my eye, I saw Sasuke narrow his eyes at me.
Uh oh.
Five minutes later.
Two ninjas were guarding the room that we were suppose to enter, Room 301, and a bunch of other ninjas kept pleading to let them in.
"Let us pass. And... Could you also remove that pathetic illusion you made with the Genjutsu?" Sasuke haughtily asked with a smirk and his hands were in his pockets.
The two ninja smirked. "So you've finally figured it out, eh?"
Sasuke smiled a tiny bit and looked at me while saying, "Sakura, you must have noticed first right? Your analytical ability and Genjutsu know-how is the most improved on our team-"
"OH MY GOSH THIS IS THE SECOND FLOOR!" I stupidly blurted out, instantly interrupting Sasuke, and I clenched both of my fists.
Sasuke glared at me and he twitched. "You idiot..."
Feeling mortified, I blushed, and blinked my eyes multiple times in confusion. "W-What? U-Um..."
H-Huh? W-Wait, did Sasuke just compliment me earlier? What... What was he on about? Why was he being so nice to me? Was he trying to cheer me up since he felt bad about telling me that I'm worse than Naruto or is he simply just trying to make his team look good to everyone else? Geez, I'm one skeptical girl at times.
Did he suspect that I was doubting my abilities though? Oh my gosh, is he a mind reader?! KYA! HE BETTER NOT BE! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
...
But still... Praising me in public and with a small smile too? That... That makes me happy. His words make me feel like an actual important part of the team.
Although, is his niceness just a temporary thing? SIGH. Probably.
I smiled and nervously whispered to Sasuke, "Eh, sorry. Um...Thanks anyways though..."
"B-But u-um...I did happen to notice the illusion. This is actually the second floor!" I said with little confidence, my cheeks flushed slightly of rosy-red, and the smile on my lips remained.
"Huh? I didn't know..." I heard Naruto mumble really quietly.
One of the ninja dudes smirked. "Heh. Not bad...but all you did was...SEE THROUGH IT!"
Suddenly, the ninja did a handstand, and attempted to kick Sasuke,
and the Uchiha attempted to counter his attack with a kick but...
A guy went between the two and grabbed both of their feet at the speed of light before they could harm each other.
"Whoa... He's fast..." I exclaimed breathlessly.
The guy had very and I mean VERY thick eyes brows. He possessed large rounded black eyes with lower lashes and had a bowl haircut, his hair being black. A green jumpsuit was what he was wearing along with orange leg warmers and a red headband was worn around his waist. Bandages were also wrapped around his arms, wrists, and hands. Geez, this guy looked weird...
The bushy eyebrow guy then released his grip on the two ninja and his eyes looked so serious.
"What happened to plan? You're the one who said to not draw attention to ourselves..." another guy scolded with weird looking lavender eyes and he glared at his teammate (I'm guessing).
The guy in the green jumpsuit only ignored him and then looked at me while blushing.
He then walked up to me while smiling and asked, "You're Sakura Haruno, right?"
"Um... Yeah..." I awkwardly replied and was a little puzzled.
"I'm Rock Lee! Please be my girlfriend! I'll protect you until I die!" Lee confidently declared with a bright smile as he gave me a thumbs up and he flashed me a wink while blushing.
My cheeks instantly turned bubblegum-pink at hearing his words and my eyes grew outrageously wide in surprise.
W-What do I do?! I-I've never had a guy ask me out so directly b-before! OH MY GOSH! He's even a bigger weirdo than Sasuke! AHHHHHHH!
"Uh... I-I can't because...because I already have a boyfriend!" I lied by accident while blushing and I then became a frantic mess on the inside once realizing what I had just said.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! W-Why did I just lie?! I DON'T HAVE A BOYFRIEND! Oh no! This is bad. Mega super bad! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
"Yeah, WHO?" Sasuke and Naruto simultaneously joined in, jealously lurking in their voices, and a fiery aura surrounded them.
They looked pissed.
I flinched in fear and then blushed even MORE.
GRAH! MY ANNOYING BLUSHING CAN GO DIE IN AN HOLE!
...
Sorry. Anyways...
Blushing, I sheepishly averted my eyes downwards at the floor, and nervously said,"I-I m-mean...I don't have one. I just... U-Um..."
"Like someone?" Lee guessed.
Looking up, I forced myself to smile as my mouth twitched, and nodded. "Y-Yeah. W-Well, actually, I-I don't know... Um... I'm not sure."
Lee scratched his head and mumbled, "Geez, Gai Sensei didn't tell me girls would be this confusing..."
"Hey you... What's your name?" the guy with the lavender eyes then asked Sasuke and he smirked.
My butt of a teammate smirked as well and turned around to look at him. "When you want to learn someone's name, you should give yours first."
I twitched. Is Sasuke really trying to be cool right now? Oh geez. This is hard to watch. SIGH.
"You're a rookie right? How old are you?" the guy asked him.
"I don't have to answer you..." was Sasuke's aloof response and he turned around to walk away from him.
Geez, what a diva.
Twenty five minutes later.
Before we finally arrived to the right room, Rock Lee had challenged Sasuke to a fight, claiming that he wanted to test his abilities before the exams, and Sasuke accepted of course even though I told him we would run out of time. That butt never listens though, so I shouldn't be that surprised. SIGH.
Anyways...
Before the fight actually started, Lee winked at me while blushing, and declared that he would dedicate this fight to me. Frightened, I hid behind Naruto as I put my right hand onto his shoulder, and my face turned bluer than any blueberry. Lee then told me that I was an angel and he started blowing kisses and hearts at me. I dodged every single one like my LIFE depended on it. It was sadly really gruesome and I even ended up hurting my head. Ouch. Go figure.
Naruto then got really angry because Sasuke always gets the spotlight and he wanted to take on the bushy eyebrow dude but Lee just wanted to fight Sasuke, which made Naruto even more angrier. So, my blond teammate charged at him, and Lee took out Naruto in less than a second, instantly knocking him out.
Sasuke and I were shocked by this. That's when Sasuke was even more determined to take him on and the two started to fight. They fought for about fifteen minutes and Lee only used Taijutsu as Sasuke used his Sharingan. Sasuke couldn't keep up with Lee though; he was too fast. So...
Sasuke actually lost.
Yeah I know. The oh so great Sasuke had actually lost probably for the first time in his life. Is it wrong that Inner me was celebrating from within me...? Heehee. Eh, anyways...
I ended up catching Sasuke, cushioning his fall since Rock Lee knocked him down in midair, and my Uchiha teammate looked kind of shaken.
Naruto then woke up and he looked rather perplexed at realizing that Sasuke had lost.
A turtle then appeared and Naruto wondered if that was Lee's Sensei. I told him I wouldn't be surprised if it was...
Something more disturbing had happened though...
A puff of smoke then surrounded the top of the turtle's shell and once it subsided, it revealed...
The most disturbing man I have ever seen.
He looked like an exact replica of Lee except he had bushier eyebrows, was taller, wore a green vest, and he also possessed slight different facial features. It looked like he could have been Lee's father but he actually was his Sensei! His name was Might Gai and he claimed to be stronger than Kakashi and that he was our Sensei's rival.
Gai winked at the three of us as he stood in an...unpleasant position...and he greeted while smirking, "Hey, how ya doing everybody?!"
Yes. The three of us were all majorly disturbed and freaked out. We became even MORE freaked out when Gai started to hit Lee for almost using an Forbidden Jutsu. Then the two started sobbing and hugged each other.
Geez, I hope I don't have nightmares.
I felt so traumatized.
We then headed to Room 301 and Kakashi was standing in front of the door. He was pleased to see me and explained to us that this exam can only be taken by teams of three. Originally, we all thought it was an individual choice to participate, but Kakashi said that wasn't the case. He didn't tell us that a three man squad was mandatory for the exams because Kakashi Sensei wanted us to come on our own free-will and to have nobody pressuring anybody. Kakashi was very proud of us and he let us enter through the door.
Once we entered into the room, my jaw dropped in shock, and I couldn't believe it.
It looked like there was over fifty ninjas in the room and they also looked super scary.
I then heard a familiar voice...
"SASUKE-KUN YOU'RE LATE!"
Next thing I knew, Ino had wrapped her arms around Sasuke's neck from behind, pulling him into a tight hug, and she began to giggle as she blushed. "I'm so happy to see you, Sasuke-kun! "
Her other two teammates were nowhere in sight.
Sasuke gave the blonde one of those 'I'm going to kill you' looks and I twitched.
"U-Uh... Ino... You better let go of him before he hurts you..." I warned in an awkward tone and my sweat dropped.
"Shut up, Forehead! You're just jealous! MEH!" Ino pompously exclaimed as she childishly stuck her tongue out at me and the blonde playfully pulled down her right eyelid.
I twitched some more and tried to control my anger from within. "I'm not... Trust me."
Suddenly, I then noticed Naruto trembling, probably of fear, and I frowned.
Poor guy. He's probably really nervous like the rest of us. After all, we are only rookies, and I'm pretty sure those other ninjas have loads more of experience than us.
I think I'll cheer him up a bit.
From behind, I put a hand onto his shoulder, and softly said with a smile, "Hey Naruto... Don't worry, we'll be okay-"
"MY NAME IS NARUTO UZUMAKI AND I WON'T LOSE TO ANY OF YOU BASTARDS!"
Silence.
Everyone in the room glared at us.
My mouth hung open in utter shock and the color of the ocean had overruled my face.
"HEY! KEEP YOUR BOYFRIEND UNDER CONTROL BEFORE HE GETS US ALL KILLED!" Ino then thunderously roared at me and she clenched her jaw while growling and she hugged Sasuke even tighter.
Dude, you're probably freaking suffocating the guy!
Anyways...
Instantly, I blushed at picturing Naruto as my boyfriend, and my eyes grew super wide.
"B-But... H-He's... He's not my...b-boyfriend..." I sheepishly denied and blushed some more.
Ino snorted with laughter and she sounded like a dying horse. "Heehee! He might as well be your boyfriend! Because Sasuke-kun will never love you Sakura!"
Sasuke then forcibly pushed Ino off of him, his glare on her growing more intense, and he bitterly huffed.
"Tch. What do you know?"
Pupils constricting, my heart stopped for a millisecond, and my cheeks were now way pinker than any pig.
Did he...
Did he just say...?
Author Note: Hello! I'm so sorry for the wait and yes I know that they were suppose to meet the other teams too and not just Ino but they will in the next chapter!(: I'm sorry I haven't updated in a few days, I've just been really busy, and I've been working on this chapter little by little everyday. Four days ago, when I got home from my boyfriend's house, I was told that my room was now infested with fruit flies. No, I wasn't angry or sad, I laughed. XD I share a room with my sister and she said it smelled like something died so she checked under her bed and found a garbage bag and when she opened it, about fifty fruit flies flew out of the bag. Oh geez. I've been sleeping on the couch downstairs for a few days now. I've been on a killing spree of fruit flies, which I really hate to do because I don't like killing bugs, but I kind of have to. Most of the time I just imagine myself as Itachi though XD haha! Just kidding. I love that guy! Erm, anyways... Who will I put Sakura with? Dunno. I have NO idea. XD The NaruSaku fluff in this chapter made me blush kind of though. Heehee. So cute! And I kind of wrote this chapter with a headache so...don't be too harsh on me. -whimpers- ;-;
