Yeah…alright, the next chapter….miss me? Now 4 the Chuunin exam…..lets go.
That night, Yuuhi woke up as a gust of wind caught her, causing her hair to fly. She was ready for the exam. At 3, she went down. Gaara watched her go, he knew what she was going to do, wake Kankuro. She walked into his room; he was sleeping on his bed with his beloved Karasau sitting at the foot of it. Pulling off his blanket, she tried to wake him up by pulling at his hands and legs. The only response she got was a grunt, usually he would spring out of bed and fling Karasau at her but today he was extremely tired. He had very little sleep for the past 4 days. She went to get a bucket of water and splashed it on him, still no response. Finally, getting irritated, she made the wind around her spin furiously like a mini tornado. A wet and cold Kankuro got up shivering, only to be greeted by a pair of red eyes, he shouted in surprise. The eyes were joined by another pair of teal eyes. Kankuro woke up fully as Yuuhi snapped the lights on, Gaara was standing beside her.
"Get ready, we're going to leave soon."
"Its only thr… uh….ok Im going" he went to the bathroom to get ready.
Soon, they were at the field where the genins were supposed to meet. As usual, they were early. It wasn't surprising considering that two of the members needed almost no sleep. Yuuhi at least didn't need much, in the desert sleep was the least important thing and she had trained her body to require not more then 4 hours of sleep. Gaara and Yuuhi each took different trees and Kankuro sat at the trunk of another 1. He dozed off, trust those two to wake him up at 3 in the morning and drag him there. They were supposed to be there at 6, now was not even 4.
Yuuhi sat on the branch, thinking about the upcoming exam. She looked up at the sky; the new moon wouldn't come for a month now. The exam should have finished by then. That was good. She suddenly felt some movement to her right; she turned her head to come face to face with a pair of onyx eyes. The eyes disappeared into another tree, which happened to be occupied by Gaara. People were coming already? The next person she saw or rather, heard was.
"SASUKE-KUUUUUN YOU'RE HERE SO EARLY? THAT'S GREAT."
A blonde haired girl with a part of her fringe dangling down covering half her face squealed as she ran to hug Sasuke. Sasuke had a get-off-me-now-or-Im-gonna-get-real-pissed look on his face.
"INO PIG GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF SASUKE-KUN NOW."
"YOU'RE TOO LATE. HE'S MINE."
"GRRRRRRR"
Ino let go of Sasuke and started arguing with Sakura, then Ino looked up and saw Sasuke looking at Yuuhi on the tree.
"Who's that? Sasuke-kun looks interested in her."
"He is interested; she's a Nin from the sand village. He asked for her name when she first met him."
"Wow, I have got to know her. If there is a girl Sasuke-kun is interested I have to know her secret. HEY YOMMMMPPPPHHHH"
Sakura covered Ino's mouth and looked at Yuuhi who turned her head in their direction.
"Nothing it's nothing she's just very stressed today."
Sakura apologized
"What are you doing?"
"Are you crazy? Do you have a death wish? She'll kill you in an instant. She's perfectly capable of it; don't piss her off dumb Ino pig."
"She will what?"
"Shut up and I'll tell you later."
The place got noisier and more crowded as it drew closer to 6. Finally Anko arrived.
"There are many teams here today, much more then we usually have. I'll take care of that, half of you will fail. There are two scrolls, each of you will get a scroll and in the next 5 days you will fight for the scrolls. Once you get both scrolls, proceed to the tower."
Murmurs broke out.
"In here, the forest of death."
Anko pointed to the dense forest behind her surrounded by thick wire fences.
"You are to get a different scroll from the one you will be given."
She took out two scrolls. One with the word "heaven" and one with the word "earth"
"You are not allowed to open the scrolls until you get to the tower. If you do, you will be disqualified, if your teammates die, you will be disqualified. Now get a form and fill it up, it is to state that we would not be held responsible if you should die. Once you have filled it in, come as a team to the booth over there to pass it up and collect your scrolls."
The teams did as they were told and one by one streamed into the booth, now covered by a cloth. Soon it was their turn. They walked in and handed in their forms, they were given a heaven scroll which Kankuro pocketed. A Chuunin led them to a gate. Feeling something was amiss, Yuuhi put her hand on her holder. It was still empty.
"Kuso, I forgot."
She said and did a few hand seals.
"Ninpou Kechusian, Ryu Uindo Suehiro (Summoning technique, dragon wind fan)"
She raised her hand in the air and flicked her wrist backwards. A gust of wind blew and started spinning around her hand at an alarming speed, a fan materialized in her hands and the wind stopped blowing. She threw her fan up and caught it behind her back before putting it in her holder. Kankuro side glanced Yuuhi then Gaara.
"I have to spend five days with them without Sensei, this is bad. Very bad. We're not separated into rooms."
The horn blew and the Chuunin unlocked the gate. The sand team walked in.
"Lets make out way to a clearing. There are sure to be people there." Yuuhi said.
They jumped and started traveling through the forest; there was a loud scream that echoed through the forest. They continued, while they were jumping Yuuhi pulled out her fan and swept it in front of her gently.
"There is a clearing up front, I can sense chakra there."
When they reached the clearing, they saw a rain team walking in the middle of the clearing. They jumped in front of them. The rain Nins looked up and smirked.
"Gaki, you're challenging us to a battle? Don't you know what's good for you?"
He said to Gaara who stepped up, his face as emotionless as ever.
"You have a cute girl in your team; maybe she will join me after your team gets disqualified after the death of a member. Namely, you."
Gaara still remained silent and emotionless
"Gaara cannot be defeated by the likes of you, he's an ultimate ninja. You are courting death." Kankuro shouted to them.
"Really? You'll see."
He threw his umbrellas in the air and needles flew in every direction at Gaara. A cloud of dust arose as the needles slammed into him. The dust cleared and Gaara was standing there in an egg shape shield of sand. Shocked, the rain Nin threw needles in the part that was not covered with sand, a wall of sand came up. He charged towards them but Yuuhi pulled out her fan and blew him backwards.
"You can actually use your fan in the condition that your hand is in? You are stronger then I thought, or is your bandages for show to hide the little tattoo behind it." The rain Nin chided her.
"These are not for injury or cosmetic value, but the last suggestion you made about the little seal is half correct. But I won't even need to show you half of what I can do to kill you."
She swept her fan in front of her and a gust blew.
"Wow that's cooli.."
He didn't finish his sentence as there was a huge slash at his abdomen; the cut was free of blood.
"Don't estimate even the smallest gust. It can kill. The cut will be bloodless for a few seconds as it is made by wind. Someone else wants your blood."
Sand flew at him and wrapped around him. The front of the sand soon started turning red.
Looking at the rain Nins other teammates then back at the rain Nin Gaara gave a one-sided smile, took up an umbrella that fell in front of him and opened it.
"Raining needles? I shall make it rain blood. Sabaku Sou Sou"
He clenched his fist and blood rained down, splattering everything. Now Yuuhi could feel the killer instincts radiating from Gaara.
"H…Here t…t..t…take the scroll. Spare us."
One of the rain Nins put their scroll on the floor and tried to run but sand wrapped around their bodies.
"Your death will be painless. The sand compresses and kills you so you will not have time to feel pain. Sabaku Sou Sou"
A muffled scream was cut of by the cracking of bones as the two Nins got crushed.
Kankuro picked up the scroll and pocketed it.
"Good thing they had the earth scroll. Let's go to the tower."
"No, I need more blood."
Kankuro grabbed Gaara's shirt.
"Can you listen to your brother for once?"
Gaara smacked his hand away
"Brother? I never had a brother."
"We have the two scrolls. Let's go to the tower, we're sure to meet someone on the way."
"...Fine"
Gaara made a cork and replaced it at the mouth of his gourd and they left for the tower. They didn't meet anyone on the way. When they reached the tower, they went to one of the doors and walked around the tower.
For hours they were alone, until 12 hours later. A team of Konoha genins strode in.
"Yo Hinata, we're first"
Then the genins saw them and immediately fell silent. They looked scared. Gaara side-glanced them and walked off.
"There were 4 more days of this to go." Kankuro thought.
