The next day they got forums from Kakashi. "Fill it all in if you want to be a participant." said Kakashi. Of course Yukari was going to fill it out. She needed to become a chunin! "You're dismissed!" said Kakashi and he was gone. "Sasuke do you want to go out on a date with me?" asked Sakura again. "Didn't you here Kakashi? I want to go so I'm going to go fill out the forum." said Sasuke. Yukari walked off towards her house; leaving the others to argue between themselves. She was almost home when she heard her name called "Yukari...!" She turned around to see who it was. It was Sasuke coming up behind her. She was confused. He's house was on the opposite side of her house. "Um...Hello." she said when he was with in ear shout of normal speaking. "Is there anything I can help you with?" she asked. "Well, it seemed like something was wrong when you left us arguing back there." said Sasuke now walking by Yukari's side. She was getting mean looks from the girls they passed by. "Oh, it's nothing to worry about." said Yukari and it wasn't. It had nothing to do with him. It was about her family not his. "Oh..." was all Sasuke said. They came upon Yukari's house. "Well, um... would you like to come in?" she asked out of politeness. She was really planning to go train but she hadn't actually talked since what happen at the bridge. "Sure." said Sasuke too happily. She gave him a confused look but it soon disappeared. "I'll go get some tea ready." said Yukari heading towards the kitchen. "No need." said Sasuke "But..." she was cut off. "I aid there was no need." he replied. She left it at that. "The point is. What's wrong?" he asked again. She didn't want to tell him and Moro felt it.
The hair on the back of her neck lifted and she bared her teeth. Sasuke jumped back and pulled out two kunai. Yukari lost in her thoughts didn't notice what was happening. Moro jumped for Sasuke but Sasuke moved out of the way. Moro turned and jumped again biting Sasuke on the arm. Sasuke took the kunai in his hand and stabbed Moro in the ribs; making her letting go and jump back. Yukari woke up from the daze she was in when she heard and felt Moro in pain. Yukari glared at Sasuke while she walked over to the mistwolf. If looks could kill Sasuke would have been dead. She looked over Moro's wound "You're going to be fine. The wounds already healing." said Yukari. Moro stood and Yukari hugged her mistwolf tightly. "Now, how did this mess happen?" she asked Moro. "I attacked him because he was making my mistress upset." said Moro. "Yukari...I...I made you upset?" asked Sasuke with an expression she had never seen on Sasuke. "Well, yes...no..." said Yukari. "Which is it?" said Sasuke. He didn't even seem to notice that he was bleeding severely. Trying to change the subject Yukari said "You're bleeding." She walked over and looked at the wound. "Oh..." said Sasuke. 'So he really didn't notice.' she thought to herself. "Please, let me attend to it." said Yukari going toward the kitchen. She came back with wet paper towels and some bandages. She cleaned the blood off and bandaged his arm. "How does that feel?" she asked. "You really didn't have to do this." said Sasuke. "Are you sure you're not dizzy?" she asked. "Yes, I'm quite sure." he said. Yukari turned to put the rest of the bandages back into the kitchen when Sasuke grabbed her arm. She was only able to get a little "eek" out before she was pulled into his arms. She dropped the bowl of water and bandages she was carrying with a load crash. "Sasuke..." He took that opportunity to kiss her. She stiffened and then easily let her muscles lose. It seemed like the kiss lasted forever. The kiss broke and Sasuke asked "Yukari? How did I upset you?" "It's not that you upset me. It's just I need to become a chunin to restore some of my family's honor." she said it before she could stop her self. She then noticed that her head was lying on his chest. She blushed crimson red. She tried to pull away but Sasuke's grip on her wouldn't break. "Just let me hold you a little while longer, please." said Sasuke. She had to admit she also enjoyed being in his arms. She felt protected. For the first time in years she felt protected. She liked the felling...no she loved it. She hugged Sasuke back. He stiffened and then loosened out. He was surprised by Yukari's reaction but liked it. They stood there without saying anything for a long while and then a knock came from the door. Sasuke jumped away quickly and so did Yukari. She was sad to let go but knew it was for the best. She went to the door to see who it was but no one was there when she looked outside. there was an awkward silence and then Sasuke said "I need to get home." He opened the door and left without another word.
The next day was a little awkward. They headed to the where the chunin exams were taking place. They were got to the room. There seemed to be a problem. A boy with bushy eyebrows was getting the crap beat out of him. "This is an illusion." said Yukari. "So we have a smart one here." said a boy. The boy went to throw a wild punch but Yukari moved. "Where did you go?" yelled the boy. "Up here." she said in a cold hard voice hanging from the ceiling. "You really should pick your fights more wisely." she said. She got down off the roof and hit the boy in the stomach. He held his stomach in pain. "Hey, lets go there's nothing for us here." said Yukari. They were walking off. "Hey, you!" said someone from behind them. "Who?" said Yukari turning around. "You." said the guy. "Yes?" she asked. "You had no right to punch that kid." he said "Yes she did. That kid attacked her so she was just defending herself." said Sasuke. "I wasn't talking to you, Uchiha!" snapped the boy. "I never got your name." Yukari said. "It's not proper to ask someone's name without giving ones first." said the boy. "You already know my name." she said. "True. I'm Neji Huuga." he said "I just wanted to wish you luck in the exams." Neji said. "Thank you." she said and walked off. The other followed. They met Kakashi in front of the door and handed him the forms. "I wish you luck." he said and disappeared. They walked through the double doors.
