Chapter 4
Chunin Exams
Sauske felt the warm figure next to him as he began to wake up. He smiled as he realized Temari was the one lying next to him. He took his arm and gently wrapped it around her waist, felling the cotton of the robe press against her sides.
She stirred and began to awake as well and Sauske leaned forward to give her a kiss, but before he could she was up on her feet looking around franticly.
"Ohh no… I fell asleep here! Garra's going to kill me for doing this the day before the exams." She said as she hurried into the bathroom and slammed the door.
Sauske sighed wishing that it had been any other day.
Temari was out of the bathroom a minute later fully dressed and with her hair tied back into its original style. She looked at Sauske and he realized that she was not at all mad but nervous. He hadn't realized that she was serious about Garra going to kill her.
She was just about to walk out the front door when she suddenly stopped and turned to Sauske.
"I'm sorry. I really don't want to run out on you like this."
"No its ok. We have to get ready for the exams."
"Yeah… Thanks for last night. I hope that wasn't akward last night. I mean me falling asleep here and all."
"No!" Sauske said with so much enthusiasm that Temari began to laugh. "I mean no it was no big deal."
"Well thank you." She said as she walked over and gave him a good bye kiss." I'll see you at the exams. Maybe we can get together afterwards."
Sauske nodded and with that she left running off towards the place she was suppose to be staying at.
As she walked into the building Kankuro was coming down the stairs into the lobby.
"Where the hell have you been? The chunin exams are today and you're…'"
"Leave her alone Kankuro." Garra said menacingly as he entered the room. "Lets just go to the academy."
With that the conversation ended and Temari and Kankuro just followed Garra to the academy where the first part of the exam was to be held."
When they arrived two boys where blocking the door to the classroom where the first exam was to be held. Garra merely walked by it and Temari followed but Kankuro called out to them.
"Where are you going this is the classroom."
'No it isn't look past the illusion."
As she said this the boys dropped the illusion and the sign above the door that had read 307 suddenly turned to 207.
The two boys blocking the door looked shocked as they heard this and saw how quickly the group had noticed.
I sure hope Sauske passes the exam. Maybe I should have warned him about the true purpose of the exam. You have to cheat. That's what sensei said.
They walked into the classroom and took their seat. A couple of hours later and they were at the gate leading into the second exam.
Thank goodness Sauske's group made it this far now I just hope Garra doesn't get ahold of him.
They had made good pace through the forest so far but they still needed a heaven scroll. That's when they ran into a group of rain ninja.
"You twerps are out of your league here. Why don't you just give us your scroll and we'll let you live ok."
"Quick talking and do something." Garra said as the rain ninja threw three umbrellas into the air.
Thousands of needles rained down upon Garra causing a massive amount of debris to fly into the air. But as it cleared it revealed a completely untouched Garra.
"Ha… You aren'r good enough to touch our Gara."
Garra starred at the ninja as he preformed the hand signs for coffin of crushing sand. And in an instant the sand had surrounded the ninja and crushed him.
The other two ninja cowered in fear and offered up their scroll but it was no use with a swift movement the sand crushed them too.
An hour later they where inside the tower waiting for the third exam to begin. In the back of her mind Temari couldn't help but to worry that Sauske might not make it out of the forest alive."
