Author's note: Sorry I took so long to update. I had a mental block, this chapter didn't come out as good as I hoped too. I'm not exactly a good writer either.+P Anyhow R&R!

(Chunin Selection Exam)


"Huh?"

"What Exam?"

"What's that?"

Hayate sensei groaned. "I'm pretty sure the name is self explanatory. Chunin…Selection…Exam. An exam to pick future Chunins."

"Wow! Cool!" Ayame gasped.

"Did you give this to us because we are really super duper good?" Fai glimmered.

Hayate sensei stared at them stupefied. "No, you could have entered last year but I thought you guys weren't smart enough yet."

There was a sudden awkward silence. Ayame's face was slightly twisted. Fai was in utter shock and if you look close enough Reki's eyes were twitching.

"No offense guys," Hayate sensei said bluntly.


"Wow!" Ayame gasped as she looked around at the mob on the second floor. "There's so many genin here!"

"Yeah but I wonder why they aren't heading to the third floor," Fai questioned.

"Because some guy is holding up an illusion to keep them here," Reki informed as the trio headed up the stairs and disappeared a second before the Sasuke and his gang appeared.

Pushing open the door the trio crossed their fingers and stopped in.

"Eh?"

"Looks like we are in for a written test," Reki sighed.

"Greeeeeaaaatttt!" Fai grumbled sarcastically under his breath. Fai wasn't so good at written tests.

Everyone turned and glared at the new arrived team.

"Heh heh," Ayame laughed nervously.

"Lighten up guys! You look like scrooges!" Fai shouted but before he could say more Reki had clamped his mouth shut and Ayame had started straggling him.

"Arrrggghhh! Shut up!" Ayame whispered harshly as she loosened her grip a little.

"Do you want the get us killed?" Reki spat dangerously as he sifted his eyes between the angry glares of the Sound Nins and the annoyed looks of the siblings of the sand. "Don't pay any attention to the fattass we happen to know,"

Quickly the genin scampered to an empty desk. There were a lot of strange people to look at but only one person immediately caught Ayame's attention.

"Oh! It's Neji!" Ayame beamed happily as she turned to face the black haired boy sitting two desks in front of them.

"Oh please," Reki groaned as he rolled his eyes annoyed.

"Shut up, Reki. No one cares about you." Ayame grumbled angrily.

"If you like him why don't you ask him out?" Fai asked while he rubbed his sore neck.

"No way!" Ayame said. "He's so not gonna say yes!"

"Just do it and spare us the trouble," Reki grumbled.

Ayame shot him a quick death glare before she turned her attention to the red haired boy named Gaara.

"Brrrrrrr, he gives me the chills." Ayame whispered quietly hoping no one could hear her. She knew he must have been worse off then she was.

Then she scanned the room hoping to spot the other one like her but a sudden shout concluded her search.

"MY NAME IS UZUMAKI NARUTO! AND NONE OF YOU ARE GONNA BEAT ME! YOU GOT THAT?"

"That was really stupid," Fai said bluntly.

"Kind of over confident, huh?" Reki teased.

Ayame smiled.

"Heehee. Just like me."


So how was it? REVIEW! I know you want to!
