Flames of My Heart: I actually made it to chapter four! Go me! And I didn't get writer's block. Don't I rock? Yes, I do! Well, I hope you like this chapter. It's sure to be mucho funny!
Diana: Well, Kakashi's catching up, and you're helping in the race! Sadly, in the beginning of the next chapter, the final results will be posted. So you better hope all Kakashi fans ban together to pull through for the perverted ninja!
LegallyGreen: Wow people are really into this Kakashi/Sakura pairing. Good for Kakashi! He's actually catching up. HE HAS A WINNING CHANCE! YAY! Hope you like chapter four!
Just a Reviewer: Damn another Kakashi/Sakura voter! Wow! I'll try to make it that way, but it's all up to who gets the most votes. Thanks for your compliments, you just made my night! Yeah, I think Sakura fits the role perfect, because she's just so cute and so preppy!
Rachelle: Oh my god! Another Kakashi/Sakura vote! Wow, he really is catching up. Anyway, thanks for agreeing with me. I mean I can see why people think that the age difference is scary, but my mom and dad are 10 years apart (my mom being 40 and my dad being 50) so for me the pairing isn't that strange.
Kakafanatic: Hehe, thanks for the little addition about liking my fanfic, that was sweet! Anyway, your vote has been added.

"Haruno Sakura,
We are pleased to inform you that you have passed the preliminary round to entering the prestigious college, Konoha. Two days from today, at 3:00 P.M. you will be expected to be present at the Konoha gymnasium. There you and the others that have passed will be sparing against current Konoha students. If you manage to hold your own against the students for at least 30 minutes, or if you win, than you are guaranteed a spot as a genin level ninja.
Dean,
Tsunade"
"Kami-sama, I'm so nervous," Sakura stated, clutching the letter with her left hand, while she used the right hand to swipe sweat from her forehead. She was currently standing in front of a brick building. The brick was a tan color, slightly faded with age, but none the less nice. The entrance way was pretty huge, enough to squeeze a fat 10 foot tall person through.
'What if I don't make it?' Sakura thought to herself, knowing that her inner-self would surely find an answer.
'Then those school committee bitches will realize why you never mess with a pink-haired prep with split-personalities!' Inner Sakura shouted, pumping her fists into the air. 'BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!'
'Oh yeah, I'm sure they'll love that. You sound like an over exaggerated 'Vote or Die' campaigned,' Sakura said, letting her sarcastic humor come loose.
'Oh, kiss my peach ass! Maybe YOU won't hurt them, miss goodie-goodie, but I certainly WILL!' Inner Sakura shouted back, sticking her tongue out, while continuing to pump her fists in the air.
'Yeah, whatever,' Sakura ended the conversation with her inner-self.
"I'm nervous," she yet again repeated aloud, as she was about to push open the swinging entrance doors.
"You shouldn't be," a voice behind her said, as she jumped and spun around. The mysterious person that was now in front of her was nothing that she expected. He had corn colored hair, and giant blue eyes. He also had whiskers on both of his cheeks, and extremely cheesy grin on his face.
'What's with ninjas and face tattoos?' her Inner Sakura commented dryly, thinking about the tattoos on Kiba's face.
"Why not?" she asked, letting out a giggle as he gave her another grin.
"Because, Uzumaki Naruto will protect you!" the whisker guy shouted, as he pushed open the door for her, and held it while she entered.
"Thank you," she said politely, but chose not to comment about him giving protection to a total stranger. The inside of the building was even nicer than the outside.
It was a giant gym, with blue yoga mats making up the floor, and one wall that was completely made out of mirror. Another wall had all different types of weapons hanging off it, and she almost cringed at the thought of picking one up. Some of them were even bigger than her!
But the strangest thing about the gym would have to be the fact that there were stands on the two open walls, for people to sit in. 'Did they have matches here?' she thought curiously, analyzing the situation. She also couldn't help but notice how many people were in the gym, and wondered if she even stood a chance against the bulky men and women.
"Welcome!" a voice suddenly boomed out, causing everyone in the gym to turn around and look up. At the top level of the stands, there were a group of four people sitting. Out of the four, only one was a woman, and she was the only one standing. Sakura assumed that this was the voice that had suddenly screamed out.
"I am Tsunade, the dean of the school," she said, as few people gasped. There were many rumors that the dean was incredibly strong, stronger than even the ANBU. Most of the people thought it was impossible for this woman to be dean, but Sakura just felt that her chances of getting stronger increased, just by looking at the woman.
"Cut the crap, obaa-san!" Uzumaki Naruto shouted, snickering to himself. It was very clearly that he obviously knew the woman, especially when she began to shout obscenities at him.
"Naruto!" Sakura shouted, also upset at his show of disrespect, as she not so gently elbowed him in the gut. "Stop being rude!"
"Oof!" Naruto grunted, clutching his gut. "The fighting didn't start, and already you attack me! And I don't even know your name!"
"Haruno Sakura," she glared at him, almost testing to see if he would make another stupid comment. After all, this was a good warm-up. But, sadly Naruto's anger seemed to disappear as he wrapped her up into a hug screaming 'NICE TO MEET YOU SAKURA-CHAN!'
"Ahem," Tsunade redirected the attention back to herself, as Sakura tried to wiggle out of Naruto's death grip. "As I was saying. Welcome to Konoha! I'm glad to see so many people have come today. Now, let's get down to business. There are only three available genin spots right now. So, all 40 of you will be fighting for that position. You will all be divided into blocks A, B, C or D. My colleagues and I will be proctoring the matches that go on from then. From each block there will be 5 people that will continue on. After those 20 people are chosen, everyone will go home, and those 20 will return on another day. Is that understood?"
Everyone in the gym nodded their heads, as Tsunade sat down. One of the men, the one with a senbon in his mouth then stood up, a clipboard in his hands. "Block A," he started, not bothering to introduce himself. "Marashi Ami, Hyuuga Hinata, Takahashi Rei, Brown Melody…."
Sakura sat down on the floor Indian style, not really bothering to pay attention to if her name was called. If anything, she could just ask her Inner Sakura later.
"… Haruno Sakura," the man concluded, as he sat down, and Tsunade dismissed all the people that weren't in Block A.
"SAKURA-CHAN, WAIT!" Naruto shouted, as Sakura exited the gym. She turned around to see Naruto running behind her, like he was on a rampage.
"Yes, Naruto-san?" she asked, trying to remain calm and polite. Meanwhile, her Inner Sakura was running wild.
'HOW DARE THAT PUNK CALL ME SAKURA-CHAN? I SHOULD KICK HIS ASS!'Inner Sakura shouted, stomping her foot like a spoiled brat.
"We're in the same block!" he shouted, finally stopping in front of her, panting loudly.
"And what block is that?" Sakura asked curiously, happy that she might actually get that chance her Inner Sakura was hoping for. The chance to beat up Naruto!
"Block D. Weren't you paying attention?" Naruto asked, mouth agape, as if she had committed one of the seven deadly sins.
"No. I zoned out," she said simply, not finding the need to give him an explanation.
"Well that's good. That means we'll be the last group to fight. So we have--" he was cut off by Sakura covering his mouth with her hands.
"Do you want to get something to eat?" she offered, as her stomach grumbled loudly. She had had no time to eat breakfast in the morning, and it was coming back to haunt her.
Naruto tried to respond, flailing his hands wildly, but she still had her hand clamped over his mouth. She let go of her hold on him, and sighed as he grabbed her hand and started running, while shouting, "RAMEN! RAMEN! RAMEN!"

"So, why do you want to go to Konoha?" Sakura asked curiously, slurping at her bowl of shrimp ramen.
"I want to be the best ninja ever! Even better than obaa-san!" Naruto shouted, noodles hanging off the side of his mouth.
"How do you even know Tsunade-sama?" Sakura asked curiously, remembering the slightly familiar conversation Naruto had with the blond woman.
"I live with her," Naruto stated simply, as Sakura choked on her ramen.
"Wha-what?" she managed to choke out, her eyes as round as saucers.
"Yeah, she's like my legal guardian," he stated, giving her a confused look. "Why? Did you think me and her went out or something?" He let out a loud snort, and slammed his fist on the table, laughing loudly.
"N-no!" she tried to deny it, but there was no use. That was exactly what she had thought. But it was reasonable, after all. Tsunade looked too old to be his mother. "But, she's so young."
"She's 50!" Naruto continued to howl with laughter, as Sakura choked on her ramen again. She coughed loudly as her Inner Sakura commented:
'It's official… ninjas are all fucking crazy!'

"Ah, that was great!" Naruto stood up and rubbed his belly. Sakura kindly paid the waitress, since it was she who suggested going out to eat in the first place. Naruto gave her a large smile, and turned around to exit the restaurant—
Only to come crashing down to the floor.
"Oh-oh… exc-excuse me!" a small feminine voice shouted, as Naruto felt himself being lifted off the ground. He looked up at the person that picked him up and came face to face with the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Well actually that was a lie. He had seen many beautiful girls in his life, but this one was definitely different.
She had short raven colored hair and matching bangs, and the most mesmerizing eyes he'd ever seen. They were a pearl white color, containing no pupil in the center, like a normal eye usually would. She was dressed in a standard tan colored ninja uniform, including the kunai pouch strapped onto her right thigh.
"No problem!" he shouted, giving her a large grin, as a blush suddenly appeared on her face. "Are you taking the Konoha test?"
"Ha-Hai," she stuttered, the blush on her face growing redder as she looked down, as if not finding herself worthy enough to look at his face.
"What block are you in?" he asked curiously, wondering if he'd had to fight the cute, shy girl.
"Block… A," she said, finding the tiles on the floor very interesting.
"Really? So you took the test already. Cool! How was it? You passed right?" he shouted, his voice laced with excitement. He grabbed her hand, expecting an answer. Her head snapped up to look at him; her mouth agape and her eyes opened considerably wider than before.
"Ha-hai," she tried to pull her hand away, but he kept a firm grip on it.
"GREAT!" he shouted, causing some people to stare, and making Sakura snicker from behind. 'So kawai,' she thought, not wanting to interrupt the romantic moment. "I'm Naruto, the best ninja in the world!"
"Ni-nice to meet you. I'm Hyuuga Hi-Hi-Hinata!" she managed to say, after much nervous babbling.
"HYUUGA?" Sakura suddenly shouted, regretting it immediately, as both turned to stare at her. It seems that Naruto had even forgotten she was there. "Sorry…"
Flames of My Heart: SAKURA MET NARUTO! NARUTO MET HINATA! YAY! So, this is the last chapter that the poll is going to be open for, before I actually finally decide who Sakura is going to be with! So don't forget: this is your last chance to get a final vote in!
Here are the results to last chapter's vote and poll:
Kakashi 17 (Wow Kakashi is really catching up. C'mon Kakashi fans, you better pull through for him!)
Sasuke 18 (Sasuke fans, this is your last chance to vote. He may be winning but you never know if Kakashi fans might plan a surprise attack!)
Neji 6 (Sorry Neji fans, but I have a feeling that he's going to lose this one. Don't worry, because I'll be sure to include a few small Neji/Sakura moments. Nothing that would ruin the plot though. But hey, maybe Neji can make a great come-back like Kakashi did! Last chance to vote!)
