Senjou: I just couldn't resist putting the second mission as something REALLY hard. They'll come through... I'm just not telling you any more... Oh, and I'm just wondering from all of you, have you realized that Kajou's team is the only team with one girl? I just realized that before this chapter so... Yeah... Sorta strange... But I'm keeping it that way even with the next few teams that are introduced.

No review answers this chapter, since I only got one :'(

Chapter 4... START!


Kajou arrived at the gates to the village only to find that everyone else on her team was already there. She just gave a quick nod to her team to signal that she was ready to go and they were off... Not yet...

"Yatsu-sensei? Why do we have to be in formation, it's going to be annoying to have to stay in the same spot..." Urasai whined, a so-called adorable puppy dog pout on his face.

"Because we're on a dangerous mission with a high risk of being attacked." Yatsu said, resisting the urge to glare at Urasai for not realizing that. "I will be in the very front, Urasai, you'll be behind me, and both of you" He pointed to Kajou and Komayaka "will be in the back. If we get in a battle I'm not going to help much except for if you need it, okay? So let's get going."

They got into formation and exited the gates. They walked for about thirty minutes in silence, It's a miracle, Urasai hasn't spoken one word yet. Komayaka thought, looking head at his pink haired teammate. He then looked to the trees and the plants around them. Hn, considering the pace we're going and the plant life around here we should be getting close to the Sound country... We might be attacked soon.

And how right he was, just then Kajou (who had her Byakugan activated) called out that she saw someone coming at them quickly from behind. "We should try and surprise them by hiding then attacking, it appears to be a teenager from the Hidden Sound Village heading back after a mission... He's not coming after us..."

"Nice plan, Kajou. I'll hide so I can still see you guys while you fight." Yatsu said and jumped into a bush nearby. Komayaka nodded and did the jutsu that allowed him to wait underground for the teenager. Urasai hid in a tree, and Kajou hid in a small bush right by the path with her Byakugan still activated.

About two minutes later the Sound teenager slowed down a bit once he came to the area where the Genins and their sensei were. Hell no, it's a Jounin... At least he's tired. Kajou thought as she prepared to attack. Before she could jump out and 'surprise' the Jounin he called out, "You little kiddies can come out now, I know where you are. One of you is under ground about five feet in front of me, a pink haired one is in that tree," He pointed with one hand to where Urasai was, "And there's a little girl in that blueberry bush..."

It wasn't the fact that the Sound ninja already knew where they were that made Kajou snap, it was the fact that she was called little when, in fact, she was taller than anyone else on her team (excluding their sensei) by at least an inch and a half.

"DON'T CALL ME LITTLE!" Kajou yelled as she jumped out of her hiding place at the Jounin, but he'd already anticipated her attack so he dodged easily. What he didn't already know is that Kajou had anticipated him anticipating about her attack. She adjusted her position so she could get a good shot at his back, and she hit him as hard as she could with a Gentle Fist attack.

To their sensei's disbelief (he was still watching) the Jounin was sent flying and rammed into an oak tree farther down the path with such a force that a few of the medium sized branches fell off. (A/N: I just had to make the girl strong, in none of the old teams were any of the girls the strongest, well, that's changing for this fic, live with it. lol)

With demon-like speed Kajou whipped out a kunai and ran at the Jounin before he even knew what hit him and stabbed it right into his hand. Their opponent was now stuck to the tree, which would've made it even easier for Kajou to beat him up except for the fact that Komayaka had snuck up behind her after getting out of the ground and grabbed onto her shoulders.

"Stop it, okay? You've got him so he can't attack us so you stop attacking him." Komayaka said, now pulling her away. She was about to lose her temper again, but she took a deep breath and forgot about it. Sticking her hands in her shorts pockets she replied with a simple, "Hn...", before walking to where Urasai had been watching in horror as a girl who he'd said was weak several times in the past beat up a Jounin.

He had a flashback of when they'd been in the academy. (A/N: I just had to put a flashback in here because I have to show how much Kajou has changed... Yes, she is my favorite character... Okay, back to the story)

A young girl with blackish brown hair was sitting in the corner of the classroom crying, her knees pulled to her chest and her head on top of her knees. Her other classmates were almost done with their daily recess and were lining up outside, but she didn't notice it.

Urasai was leading the line inside and he was the first to spot their classmate sobbing in the corner. "Weakling!" He shouted pointing at her. "All you did was fall and scrape your knee, run inside, and sit here crying! I thought you were supposed to be from the infamous, strong Hyuuga clan! Cry baby Kajou!"

All Kajou did was look up at the boy and sob some more, there was a small scrape on her knee with a bandage on it, and she was crying because it hurt. Urasai repeated his last line and the rest of the class joined in. "Cry baby Kajou! Cry baby Kajou!"

His own words echoed in his mind from that day. How could she have become so strong?

She walked past him without saying a word and went to their sensei for a compliment. "That was really good, Kajou! You beat a Jounin, why didn't they let you skip years at the academy. If they had you'd probably be a high ranked Chuunin by now!"

"... Curse that Kajou. She is taking my spotlight! I'm going to beat her someday... SOMEDAY!" The fact that Yatsu-sensei was giving Kajou so many compliments even made Komayaka scowl, though he was sort of happy that his crush was doing so well. (A/N: Ya, I decided for Komayaka to have a crush on Kajou... I wonder when Kajou will find out...)

"We must keep going." Kajou said as she finally was able to escape from their over enthusiastic sensei. When they passed the defeated Sound-nin Kajou tied him up with clear strings (the kind that Sasuke uses... twice... in his first fight against Orochimaru) really tightly and took the kunai out of his hand. After all, she wouldn't want to lose her kunai, would she?

Within about ten minutes they had reached the gate to the Sound village without any troubles, but they noticed there were two, (they looked like ANBU), ninja's guarding the gate. Yatsu turned to Komayaka and smirked before continuing. "Remember what we planned for spying in the village, Komayako-chan..."

Before their sensei had even given Komayaka the cue Kajou had pulled a girl-ish robe (not a kimono, just a regular robe that had girlie designs on it and was pink...) and was pulling it on over her clothes, her hitai-ate (forehead protector) already tucked in her pocket and replaced with bandages around her head dyed with fake blood to make it look like she'd just gotten hurt in the forest.

Komayaka sighed as he pulled another girly robe out of his pack and started pulling his low pony tail (A/N: Like Itachi's... I already said he looked like Itachi didn't I?) up to the top of his head and making a bun instead. Kajou had even gotten rid of her pony tail and was ready to go, before leaving the bushes they were hiding in about a hundred yards away from the village entrance Kajou whispered into Komayaka's ear, "Remember, you're Komayako, and I'm Kana, and we're supposed to be sisters." She then walked out into the clearing with her 'sister' and approached the gate.

"What are two bee-a-utiful (A/N: lol, funny pronunciation, I had to put that there...) ladies like you doing around here, and what happened to your forehead, young lady? Could I kiss it and make it better?"

Perverted idiot... Kajou thought as the thought up and answer to the man's question quickly. "We were in the forest, imouto-chan and I, traveling, and we need a place to stay. As for my cut, I got hit in the head with a large branch."

"Well, we'll ask our boss whether we can let you in or not, though if I wasn't under his control I'd like to have your little sister there come to my house some time..." The first guy's partner said, scooting a little closer to Komayaka. The first guy took out a radio and turned it on, "Kabuto-sama? ... We have two beautiful young ladies here who want to stay for a few days because they're traveling and need a place to rest. ... Yes, Kabuto-sama." He turned off the radio and turned to the 'young ladies' and said, "You're welcome to the village, Kabuto-sama would also like to see both of you. Let me guide you."

They were lead into the village, still trying to be alert without acting suspicious.

Outside the Village

"They made it in!" Urasai whispered excitedly to his sensei. "They actually got in!"

"Calm down, Urasai. They still have to see Kabuto. If anybody is going to notice they're shinobi from our village it'll be him."

"Oh..." Urasai looked down at the dirt. "I hope they're okay."'

Kabuto's Office/House

Kajou and Komayaka were walked into Kabuto's office/home. Just to add to the little sister effect 'she' gave a gasp of amazement. "Kana-nee-san! This village is so cool!"

It was then when they were brought in front of Kabuto, Kajou and Komayaka both had to hold back fear, which would've sent them shaking so much it'd seem like an earthquake. What sane Genin wouldn't be scared in front of the former right hand man of someone like Orochimaru?

Kabuto stood up and walked over to the two disguised Genin without saying anything and started inspecting them like he was looking for a purebred show dog. (A/N: I've seen how people do that, they're very particular... And I thought it would be funny for Kabuto to do that...) PLEASE don't realize I'm a boy... Komayaka thought as Kabuto spent a little more time looking at him, after that he finally decided to say something. "Why were two ladies like you traveling without a man... or a ninja?"

Kajou looked down at the ground while she talked, since if he saw her eyes it would be figured out that she was in fact from the Hyuuga clan and then Komayaka would be found out too. "We just wanted to travel alone."

"And why aren't you looking me in the eyes?" Kabuto said, putting his hand under Kajou's chin and lifting her face up so she would be looking him in the eyes. He instantly called out for the guards that were at the gate to come and get rid of the now found out Genin.

I'll just play along with this for now... Komayaka knows what to do when I give him the signal... The guards they had met earlier came and started attacking them, though the Genin had a slight advantage because they were so small compared to the guards and easily dodged a lot of their attacks. After a while Komayaka and Kajou were back to back and Kajou lightly elbowed Komayaka in the back and he jumped away from her. I'll have to thank Dad for teaching me this... She shouted loudly as she started spinning rapidly, "Hakkeshou Kaiten!"

Kajou released a lot of chakra from everywhere on her body and the ninja's who were attacking them ran right into the swirling mass of chakra that had Kajou inside of it. "Komayaka, go!"

As Kajou stopped spinning Komayaka faced the now airborne Sound-nins, activated his Sharingan, and went through the hand seals for a certain fire jutsu. "Katon: Karyuu Endan! (Fire technique: Fire Dragon Flame Blast!)"

The Sound-nins were burnt and unconscious, so the two Genins ran for their lives, literally. A few more Sound-nins were chasing them, so they had taken off the robes so they could run faster. They reached the gate and just jumped over the high walls on the side, not wanting to waste time trying to open the heavy wooden doors.

Outside The Village

"Hey, there they are!" Urasai whispered as he pointed to two figures jumping over the walls of the village on either side of the gate. "... Why are they running? And why aren't they wearing the robes?" He thought for a moment before realizing, "Uh, oh..."

"RUN!" Komayaka yelled as he was running past the bush where Urasai and Yatsu-sensei were hiding, closely followed by a slightly limping, but still running, Kajou. (A/N: I'm going to start calling Yatsu something else... Not really different... Yatsu-sensei! Okay, got it? Good. You'll find out about Kajou later...)

"You all keep running, I'll get them to stop chasing." Yatsu-sensei called as he just walked out of the bush and faced the village, ready to attack. All of the kids yelled "Okay!" and ran until they found a clearing they were sure was far enough away that they'd be safe. After about thirty minutes their sensei rejoined them, not appearing hurt at all.

Hn... My right ankle is hurting really badly... I better check... (A/N: She hasn't looked down at her ankle to see what's wrong yet, just in case you're wondering) She lifted up her foot and set it on her opposite knee, only to find a needle going all the way through her ankle, and it had poison still dripping from the end. "Y-Y-Yatsu-sensei! I-I got hit with a p-p-poison needle!"

"Oh..." Yatsu-sensei said as he walked over to where Kajou was leaning on a tree. After closely looking at Kajou's ankle for a few seconds he stood up and turned around, saying to the rest of the team, "No rest tonight, guys. We have to get to Konoha ASAP." He turned back to Kajou. "I'll carry you, okay? We don't want the poison spreading, you're already stuttering because of it too..."

"O-okay... I-i-is it r-really that b-bad?" Kajou said, looking worried.

"I don't know, I'm not too educated in different kinds of poisons, so... We just have to get to the Konoha hospital quickly." He picked up Kajou and started walking, carrying her piggy-back style. "Hold on tight. You two..." He said talking to Urasai and Komayaka. "Just try and keep up." With that he took off really quickly.

(A/N: I can't really think of something to put on the way back, lol...)

Konoha Hospital

Yatsu-sensei, closely followed by the other two boys on the team, walked into the hospital quickly (since they would get in trouble for running in a hopsital) and went to the front desk and started to explain what happened. "We were on a mission and Kajou here, Hyuuga Kajou," He said the last part so the receptionist could write down the needed info. "got hit in the ankle by a poison needle."

"Oh, okay. Follow me, I'll take you to a room..." The receptionist said, walking down a nearby hallway and turning into the fifth room they got to. "I'll get some medic-nins in here right away." The receptionist left the room quickly and headed further down the hall.

Kajou lifted her hand to her head, "I d-don't feel s-s-so good..." She had started sweating a lot on the way there and some of the hair (which she still hadn't put up again) was sticking to her face. For the next minute everyone was quiet, but then two medic-nins walked in and started looking at Kajou's ankle before even saying anything.

One stood up straight after looking at her ankle and said, "You're going to be out of training for at least a week if we can start giving you the antidote right away..."

Kajou sighed and replied with a weak, "Okay..."

"First we need to get that needle out though..." He pointed to Komayaka. "You, make sure she doesn't move around too much..." He started talking to his helper, the other medic-nin. "Hold her leg down, okay? I don't want to get kicked like last time something like this happened." The other medic-nin nodded and held down Kajou's leg.

The first medic-nin that had talked grabbed onto the end of the needle and pulled hard. Kajou let out a yelp as the bloody needle came out. The second medic-nin had already started wrapping bandages around the wound.

Once that was done she had to take a pill about the size of the end tip of her pinky finger, (A/N: I've seen ones that big, I'd hate to have to swallow one...) though not without complaining.

A Week Later- Leaving the Meeting Room

Kajou was out of the hospital, Yatsu-sensei was glad about that. If she had still been in the hospital he wouldn't have been able to enter his team in the Chuunin exam. He had just entered them and had the sign up paper things for them to bring to the room where the first test was being held the next morning.

Bridge

"Yatsu-sensei is LATE!" Urasai yelled as he was climbing on top of the bridge, looking in every direction for their red-haired sensei.

"And for a good reason." Yatsu-sensei said, having popped up right behind Urasai. Urasai fell down off of the small beam and glared up. "I have your entrance forms for the Chuunin exam, which starts tomorrow."

All of the Genin ran up and grabbed a form, pulling pencils out of apparently out of nowhere and finished writing all of the information. "Slow down you guys, you need to keep those with you until tomorrow where you turn it in at room 301 of the academy, that is also where the first test will be."

The three Genin looked disappointed as they nodded and turned around to walk towards Ichiraku Ramen stand for some lunch. When they got there, Urasai noticed three strange looking kids their age inside, at their normal spot.

"HEY! What are you three doing in our spot!" Urasai stomped over to the table with the strange kids, and they turned to face him. Kajou noticed immediately they were Genin from the Cloud country (a.k.a Where the Hidden Sand Village is). All three looked a lot alike, red hair, freaky light bluish green eyes with no pupils and black circles around their eyes (A/N: this will be explained in later chapters.), and had huge gourd things on their backs.

"How is it your spot? It doesn't have you or your only friend's name on it." A girl with her blood red hair tied in a side ponytail said, casting a freaky glare in Urasai's direction.

"Only... friend?" Urasai turned around and only saw Komayaka, who shrugged. "What the heck! Where did that damn Kajou go!" His question was answered when the second girl, who had her hair cut sort of like a boys (A/N: imagine Gaara's hair except a little longer...), yelped as some strange sand just popped up out of nowhere and protected her from a thrown rock.

"Hn..." Kajou glared at the sand that was now going into the strange gourd on the girl's back. Looks like I'm going to have some trouble with these kids... She walked away from that table and found another one, followed by her teammates. They ordered and started eating, when Komayaka and Kajou had finished their first bowl Urasai had already finished seven.

"I guess we should leave, guys..." Komayaka said, starting to stand up. "We need to get good rest for tomorrow, we have no clue of what the tests are going to be." Both of the others nodded and stood up, before they left the boy from sand with a haircut EXACTLY like his fathers (A/N: You should've guessed who their father is by now.) said, "Hey, you, the girl... What's your name?"

"It is rude to ask someone else's name without introducing yourself first." Kajou said and crossed her arms over her chest.

"I'll introduce my sisters first. The one with longer hair is Sabaku no Kaze (Kaze of the Desert), the one with shorter hair is Sabaku no Taiyou (Taiyou of the Desert), and I'm Sabaku no Nekki (Nekki of the Desert)." Nekki said, also crossing his arms. "Once again I will ask who you are."

"Hyuuga Kajou." With that she turned around and exited the shop. The three sand ninja remained.

Hyuuga Kajou... You will be a big challenge... For all of us. Nekki thought, watching his new rival leaving.

Back With The Main Characters

I have three new rivals, this will be interesting. Kajou thought, also smirking.

Hmm... I wonder what she's so happy about. Komayaka thought, seeing his teammate's satisfied smirk as they continued walking down the road.

"Curse those sand kids, they didn't ask MY name!" Urasai thought as he remembered those sand kids... Kaze... Taiyou... and Nekki... I have to agree with my inner self this time... Curse them. Curse Kajou too for being too strong.

"So, see you guys tomorrow?" Kajou said as they reached the road that she had to take to get to her house.

"Yep!" Urasai shouted, throwing in a fox-ish grin to make sure she didn't suspect he didn't like her.

"Okay, Kajou-chan." Komayaka said as he turned away to walk towards his own house. Kajou walked down the street to her house for about thirty seconds before realizing, Did he just call me Kajou-chan! I'll beat the pulp out of him if I even get ONE chance!

She reached her house within five minutes and walked in. "Tadaima! (I'm home!)"

"Okaerinasai. (Welcome home.)" Came her mother's reply from another room, then came her brother's reply which was exactly the same.

After about six hours of doing random things like training and reading, her and her older brother were called to dinner. They found some chicken flavored ramen on the table. ... Not ramen again... This is the third night we had it, maybe Yakkai got to choose dinner the past few days... She sighed simultaneously with her father.

Tenten sighed in response to them, They're both so alike... Everybody started eating. After about five minutes of miraculous (considering Yakkai was there) silence before Kajou broke the silence. "The Chuunin exam starts tomorrow..."

Tenten looked surprised, which she probably was, but she should've known anyway. "Really! Ganbatte kudasai! (Do your best!)"

"Pft, I could bet on the fact that Spiral is getting out in the first round if I had any money!" Yakkai said crossing his arms.

"You wish, baka." Kajou said. They continued to fight during their dinner until it finally ended and everyone went to sleep, Kajou being the first one asleepeven though she was really excited about the exam starting the next day.


Senjou: SCHOOL IS OUT! MORE UPDATES! YAY! I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Since I've introduced three new character's I'll tell what their first names mean... And you'll see why I gave them those names later.

Kaze - wind

Taiyou - sun

Nekki - heat

Got that? Until next chapter, Sayonara!
