I would first like to apologize. I did not make it very clear, but the character Toki is my character, not the one from the series. Sorry if that confused anyone. Please still continue to read and leave a comment if you can. I'll try my best to reply to you if there are any questions you have. I'll stop talking now, so that you may read. I hope you enjoy!

I do not own Naruto.

"When the teams get to the room assigned to you, you will be alerted. Soon, you will be feeling the pull of the jutsu…."

Toki was trying not to respond in a sarcastic manner while the Chuunin was explaining the way things were going to work in the second exam.

"Honestly, do they think we became chuunin's yesterday?"

"…..after you tell them the riddle…." The Chuunin continued.

"If you think this is bad, I've heard this same speech more than once. It hasn't changed yet."

Toki had to quickly cover a laugh. She looked over at Iruka who was sitting next to her hiding his own smile behind his hand.

"So I need everyone to come to the front of the room and draw a number. That's your room." The Chuunin continued.

Everyone quickly drew a number and told the person with the clipboard writing it down. And went back to their seats. Waiting for the next part.

"If I had known that this was what I was helping with in the exam I would have asked for something else."

Iruka laughed but quickly quieted down so that the ninja in charge wouldn't notice.

"Yea, this part isn't the greatest. But, seeing the people that have made it through. The looks on their faces when they realize that they were done for now. It makes sitting through this all worth it."

Arching an eyebrow Toki replied, "Iruka, you really are a teacher. Only teachers say stuff like that."

Iruka chuckled, "I guess so. Just you wait, next year you will be begging to have this position again."

"Alright, everyone. I believe we have everyone logged in. That's it for now, dismissed."

"So, Miss.Toki. Where are you off to now?" inquired Iruka.

"I am off to have a lunch with a Daimyo from Tea Country."

"Another marriage proposal?"

"Who knows, I guess I'll find out when I get there."

"I wish you patience then, we all know they can be boring. Especially when they start talking about their wealth."

In a little laugh Toki waved goodbye. "I'll see you later Iruka."

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

All Toki could do was smile and node. The Daimyo was like any other Daimyo. They first start the conversation wanting to know more about her, then somehow steer it to where they could talk about themselves. After that is accomplished, they never shut up.

"For the love of all things good in the world, something better happen soon or I might just knock him out with a Jutsu."

"Oh, Lady Toki. You MUST meet my son. He's very handsome you know, all the ladies want to be his wife back home."

"Is he now?" fake smile still plastered on. Hoping that someone will relieve her soon.

"Yes he is, I take pride in….."

"Great, now all I'm going to hear about is his son. Is anyone listening anywhere? Rescue me!"

It was during this time that Toki wished she had set up some signal that the Anbu outside watching would know she needed to get out of there.

"You should visit some time Lady Toki. You wouldn't regret it. Tea Country is so beautiful, especially in the fall. Would you like to visit Tea Country? You wouldn't sadden an old man, by saying no would you?"

"Oh, shit! Not good, someone!"

Just then a knock came from the door and with no hesitation she let them in.

"Lady Toki, the Hokage has requested that you see him immediately."

With a nod, she informed the Ninja that she would come with him.

"I'm so sorry my lord, if you will excuse me, my presence is needed else where."

With a slight bow and a little annoyed expression, the Daimyo said goodbye.

"Don't forget about my offer to come to Tea Country my Lady."

All Toki could do was smile and give a little nod, then shut the door.

As soon as Toki stepped out of the building she was greeted by the ninja who had brought the message.

"This way my Lady."

They quickly left for Hokage tower.

Toki knocked on the door and waited for a reply.

"Decided to learn some type of manners and come through the door?" a smile on the Hokages face. "You look beautiful, you should wear a Kimono more often."

"Hmm, except that I can only carry two kunai. Is there something that you needed me for?"

The Hokage sighed and sat down behind his chair. "Apparently all the Daimyo's are coming for two reasons this year. One, to see the chuunin exam's. Two, to see if they can take you home with them to marry their sons."

Toki calmly sat down. "How many offers?"

"Eight offers. However, only three of them look remotely acceptable. One is from Stone Country, another is from Tea Country and the last one is from Wind Country."

"Wind Country?"

"Yes, however we are not entirely sure of why they made the offer."

With a confused look Toki looked out the window.

"Who made the offer?

At that question the Hokage looked at the pictures of the previous Hokages. "The Kazekage from Sand. You would be marrying their most powerful ninja. Who from my knowledge is not only powerful but crazy."

"Besides being powerful, what makes him so special?"

It was then that the Hokage locked unto her eyes. "He's the Kazekage's son."

The stars where out with a moon that hung so low, Toki could imagine that if she reached out she just might touch it. Of course, she had stopped reaching for the moon years ago. She looked at the still busy streets of Konoha, most of them were people from distant lands enjoying the splendors of Konoha. Toki noticed that more guards were set out, more then what she thought there should be. Which made her begin to wonder why. However, the thought quickly stopped in its tracks the moment she saw him. At first she thought it was a big boulder, then her senses came back and made her realize big boulders don't normally sit on roofs, especially those in Konoha. That's when she noticed the man sitting next to it. He seemed to be brooding or thinking. She wasn't quite sure. It wasn't until the hard stare was directed at her that she caught her breath.

Why can't I move? Those eyes. I've never seen any thing like those eyes. Their haunting.

It was when he looked away that Toki found she could move again. She stayed there for a few more seconds then made her way back to her apartment. Toki decided that she had enough excitement for one day. She would find out who he was tomorrow.

Hmmm...I wonder who she saw? Any guesses?

I hope you enjoyed it. I'll try to get the chapters out a little faster, but please be patient with me. School is getting busier and work is starting to give me more hours.
