Exam day, with a twist.
I woke up late. I knew I did but I didn't care I felt good. I was happy and the dream I had makes it all better. I curled up into a ball smiling in my sleep but remembered something. Today was the chunin exam.
"fuck!" I got up and went to go take a shower but stopped when I passed the mirror. I looked back and saw that I was wearing Sasuke's shirt. Shit I must have been really out of it when I put it on. I looked over at my clothes that I picked up at his place see if I have anything else of his. I remember him ripping my tights so they were garbage I didn't have anything else but I was missing something. My panties! I must have left them there! Oh my god. that's embarrassing. I looked back into the mirror and checked myself out. I always imaged wearing Sasuke's symbol but I didn't know I would look so good in his shirt. I think he could keep the panties I want the shirt. I giggle and took off the shirt to take a shower and saw red marks down my neck and body. When did he do this. I touched the big hickey on my neck trying to think of a way to hide it. But then I remember I could get rid of it with my healing chakra. I made that one disappear and left the rest that couldn't be seen. I took my shower and got dressed in my normal clothes and headed to the meeting spot where the boys were waiting for me.
"Sakura! Your late again! Your becoming more like Kakashi- sensei" Naruto yelled when he saw me.
"Naruto your to loud in the morning! And I slept in. didn't get much sleep last night." the last part was like a whisper but Sasuke heard it and smirked. When I looked at him we made eye contact I could tell he was mad that I left but I had no other choice. I'll explain later when I could get him alone.
"come on lets go." I said and grabbed their arms and pulled them in side. We went up to the floor were every one thought was the floor the exam was taking place but I knew better then that. We walked up and saw Rock Lee getting kicked by the guards in front of the room.
"please let us through." Tenten said trying to get through. She got kicked as well. They were going to try again when me and Sasuke decided it was time to speak up.
"I wouldn't bother with these two." I told them.
"come on Sakura lets go to the third floor." Sasuke said turning around to walk away.
"so you notices?" guard 1 asked.
"of course. But Sakura would have notice it way before me. Right Sakura? With your analytical ability and genjutsu know-how." I smiled and looked at him.
"it is a very noticeable genjutsu. Because this is only the second floor. You really need to try better next time." I put my hands on my hips in as a matter of fact sign.
"not bad. But all you did was see though it." guard said then went to kick Sasuke but both attacks were stopped but Lee. I smiled it was good to see him again. Last time I saw him in the war was going to the front line and never coming back.
"what happen to not bring attention to ourselves." Neji said. Lee looked over at me, I knew it was coming I went up beside Sasuke and looked at all three of them with a smile on my face. Lee walked up to me.
"hi. I'm Rock Lee, yours is Sakura right?" he said "lets go out, I'll protect you till I die." and it was true but I didn't need protecting now. I laughed not because of what Lee said but because Sasuke's face was priceless.
"nice to meet you Lee I appreciate your offer but I'm going to have to say no." he looked sad.
"hey you what's your name?" Neji asked Sasuke.
"when you want to learn someone's name you should give yours first." Sasuke said back.
"you're a rookie right? How old are you?" Neji asked
"I don't have to answer you." Sasuke turned around to walk away grabbing me and pulling me away from Lee. "we're going." this didn't happen before. I think he was getting jealous about lee being near me. We walked away to look for the stair when lee came up behind us and asked Sasuke to fight him.
"right now?" Sasuke said
"yes. Now." he jumped off the stairs ad landed in front of us. "my name is Rock Lee. When you want to learn a persons name you introduce yourself first right?" he said
"Uchiha Sasuke, so you know?" Sasuke said
"I want to fight you. I want to test out my techniques against the offspring of the genius ninja clan… and also…" he looked over to me. This is where I get really uncomfortable. I hind behind Sasuke.
"what are you doing?" Sasuke asked me.
"nothing just protecting myself." I laughed.
"Sakura you're an angel!" lee said and threw his little heart at me. I ducked behind Sasuke making sure it didn't hit me. It hit Sasuke's shoulder and broke.
"are you going to throw hearts around or do you want to fight?" Sasuke walked up ready for a fight.
"I am waiting." lee said
"wait!" we all look at Naruto "I can take care of thick-brow. Just give me 5 minutes."
"the one I wish to fight is not you."
"I'm sick of hearing all about Sasuke!" Naruto charged and just like last time was beaten.
"I guess I'll fight you." Sasuke said
"good."
"guys hurry it up we only have 30 minutes" I told them and stepped back.
The fight was the same as last time and ended like last time. I catch Sasuke before he fell and we went through the whole lee and guy sensei scene. We talked to them and then they left. I know Sasuke was mad and I could do anything. I put my hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sure next time you'll kick his ass." I smiled it didn't help.
"yeah… this is getting fun. This chunin exam. Ready to go?"
"hell yeah!" me and Naruto said together.
We went to the door to find Kakashi there. "good your all here." he knew I was going to come so he didn't have to explain and the exam being taken as I three men team. "are you all ready for this?" he looked serious.
"yes." we all said together and walked through the door to see everyone staring at us. Damn that's creepy.
"Sasuke-kun!" Ino comes out of no where and jumps on Sasuke's back. "I haven't seen you for a while so I've been waiting in excitement." she said. Sasuke looked over at me for some help I guess. I laughed.
"hey Ino! Your going to scare him away with that ugly face. Get off of Sasuke before I have to beat you off."
"ah Sakura so you came to, still big ugly forehead as always."
I sighed and looked at Sasuke. "you deal with it." and looked away.
"so you guys are taking this test to huh?" Shikamaru came up with Choji eating his potato chips.
"oh it's the idiot trio!" Naruto said
"stop calling us that" Shikamaru said.
"Sasuke is mine!" Ino stuck out her thong at me. I think I should heat this up a bit.
"fine. You can have him." I crossed my arms over my chest making them think I didn't care. Everyone stopped and looked at me like I grew a third eye.
"what?" Ino asked
"I said you could have him.. If he wants you that is?" I looked at Sasuke, I was testing him. What did he feel last night when we were doing that stuff. I blushed remember the way he felt on top of me, kissing me, him touching me everywhere. I started to grow wet.
"what is that suppose to mean, of course Sasuke wants me!"
Kiba, Hinata, and Shino all came up but me and Ino were still arguing.
"well let him decide." I said and I was just about to continue when I felt and evil someone come up behind me. I grabbed one of my kunai and threw it surprising everyone. But the person caught it easily.
"Sakura what's your problem you could have hurt him!" Ino yelled I didn't answer I kept my eyes on the man in front of me never letting him out of my sight.
"it's okay I startled her that's all. don't blame you." he walked up to me and handed back my kunai. "this is yours" I took it with out a thank you "I'm Kabuto." he said.
"yeah I know who you are." I whispered only for him to hear and he smirked, like he knew who I was to.
"you guys shouldn't be screaming so loud. You all sound like a bunch of school girls."
He got into the others with the nin-info card and I looked around the place, looking for someone that shouldn't be here. Then I heard Ino scream.
"Sakura there's a snake on you!" I looked down to see there actually was a snake on my. A grey one and poisons as well.
"that's mine sorry but it likes cute little girls like you." a snaky voice came in front of me I looked up and there he was. Orochimaru standing before me. The snake silvered up my leg around my waist and around my neck as if to chock me. I remand calm Ino was freaking out and the other were still. I see a smirk on Kabuto's face.
"cute but I don't like snakes." I said grabbing it just below the head so it couldn't bite me and through it back at him. "you should keep it on a leash." I told him. I still had my kunai out, I wasn't taking any chances. This didn't happen like the last time. What change, I feel like I'm forgetting something really important.
"yes well it does have a mind of its own." I let it go and started walking back to the guys then I felt him come up behind me and said something for everyone to hear. "I see your future little girl." I stopped it couldn't be. "and it ends with you being killed my the once you love most." I could see everyone face but I wasn't there he had put me in a genjutsu. Blood dripping everywhere all over my clothes I reach up and feel to holes in my chest where Naruto and Sasuke hit me. I snapped out of it quietly and through a punch at him.
"the future can always change!" I yelled he grabbed my arm and threw me to the wall gripping my neck and whispered.
"yes and this time I plan to have it go my way." he let go and vanished into the crowd.
"Sakura are you alright." Sasuke was beside me in a moment. I didn't answer him I was to focus on the spot were Orochimaru had just been standing. "Sakura?" he said again, Naruto and the others were beside me too. I cant believe it I remember the light the light came from inside my body and then I felt somebody grab me. Could it have been him. Did I take him back to this time! My head pounded with the possibilities but he was fused with Kabuto I looked over to find him smirking.
"fuck!" I said I didn't care about my language at this moment I just realized that I brought two of the most power fullest ninjas back in time!
"Sakura what's the mater are you okay?" I looked up at Sasuke and Naruto remembering what he said. I grabbed my chest tight and tried to smile.
"I'm fine. He surprised me that's all."
"that's not all! He threw you across the room!" Naruto yelled
"Naruto stop yelling." I punch him. I didn't relies that I was leaning on Sasuke till I felt him arm around me try to pull me up. "I'm okay guys really." I laughed it off.
"what did he mean when he said you will be killed by the once you love most?" Ino asked.
"he his just a creep that wanted to get on my nerve." I told her
"it sure seem to work." she said I laughed.
Ibiki- sensei finally came and told us to take our seats Naruto freaked out about the paper test. I should have told him but then it didn't matter we were all going to pass anyways.
The exam starts and Naruto cant even answer a question I feel bad for him. But I do the questions in a matter of minutes. But then I felt something I fell the first time and now I relies what it was, Ino had taken over my body. Fuck I wasn't ready for this I let some of my thought out and she saw me when I'm older with Sasuke and Naruto with their hands threw me. I kicked her out quickly but she already saw it. Damn it this is bad! What am I going to do now? She saw it maybe even more! I looked behind me and saw her staring at me with disbelief. I think she understands know what Orochimaru meant when he said I will be killed my the ones I love most.
I looked back to my paper and looked at the questions I'm already a chunin so I know I have all the right answers but this didn't matter anymore. I have been found out by Ino! Want if she tells someone! I couldn't worry about her now I had to deal with Kabuto and Orochimaru.
I can see Kabuto from where I'm sitting but Orochimaru is somewhere in the back out of eye vision. I got so catch up in my thought I jumped when Naruto slammed his hand down on the table.
"don't underestimate me!" I didn't even realized that the time passed so fast. God Naruto was such an idiot but he is my best friend and I couldn't help but feel relaxed when ever he says something that comes from his heart. I smiled thinking how we were like back then, well now for them but always happy and smiling. Never knowing what evil is actually out there. The smile disappeared when Anko came in. the second test at the forest of death. I looked at Sasuke thinking of the curse mark that he gets.
Maybe I could stop that! I'm strong enough to beat and kill Orochimaru and in the test it doesn't matter people die all the time. We all get up and follow Anko to area 44 "the forest of death" and she explains the rules and what we have to do to get to the next level. I've been through this twice so I don't worry about the other teams that much. Its just Gaara, Kabuto and Orochimaru that I'm worried about. They will kill without hesitation so I have to be on guard the whole time. The future is always changing. We get our scroll and go to gate 12 and wait the 30 minutes till the gates will open.
"man why do we have to wait? I'm so bored" Naruto complained
"Naruto shut up we have to wait for the other teams to get to their gate that's why." I said
"well it's not my fault their slow. Man they should really hurry it up I want to start this thing!" Naruto beamed
I didn't say anything back I was concentrating on the test. It was more of a mission then a test now that I know that Orochimaru wont just be coming after Sasuke but he will come to kill me. He knows I'm strong enough to kill him and this is his chance to also make me look like a weakling as well. I clenched my fist I was so mad at myself for letting this happen, my inner agrees. I feel a hand on my shoulder.
"clam down, it's only the beginning." that's what he thinks. I put my hand on his and smiled knowing that he was trying to cheer me up. He blushed and moved his hand away. I looked back at the gate. It's almost time…
"let the second test begin!" we hear Anko scream and they let us in.
"lets go!" Naruto said and we ran into the forest jumping on a tree and hopping from tree to tree. We stopped when we heard a scream.
"looks like someone already got caught." I said not scared at all. I'm probably one of the scariest things in these woods.
"Man that was fast." Naruto said. "I got to take a piss."
"do it the bushes you idiot! I don't want to see that!" I blushed, I forgotten about that. When he was gone I said "jeez I cant believe he would do that in front of me, does he think I want to see his dick or something." I was really talking to myself so I wasn't expecting Sasuke to come up behind me and pulled me close to him and whispered in my ear.
"really? But last night you were so eager to get my pants off." I blushed but didn't move, i never thought sasuke would pull such a bold move out here. My back was up against his chest his arms around my waist just below my breast. I don't know why but some how this felt right, like we were a perfect fit for each other.
"it's different and you know that." I said turning my head so I could look into his eyes.
"right" he said kissing my shoulder then let go of me when the fake Naruto came back.
"man so much came out! I feel great now." I didn't hesitate I ran up and punched him hard. "what was that for?" he tried acting innocent.
"what do you take us for? Idiots?"
"what are you saying?" he asked. Sasuke came up beside me and smirked
"Naruto is right handed, your shuriken holster is on your left leg. And the main difference is you don't have the scratch that examiner put on Naruto's cheek. You're a fake loser who is worst then Naruto at transforming. " Sasuke said
"unlucky you guys figured it out! Oh well. Which one of you has the scroll?" he ordered us to say but we just stood there. "fine then I'll just take from you by force!" he charged at Sasuke and they fought Naruto came back and the enemy was just about to get away when I threw a kunai at he hitting him in the back.
"Sakura what did you do?" Naruto asked I walked up to the man and took out the kunai.
"I paralyzed him. He will never be able to walk again. Well that is if I heal him but I wont unless he gives me his scroll. But it doesn't look like he has it so I guess he will still here till someone or something comes and picks him up." I cleaned the kunai and walked away.
"wait come back I'll tell you where the scroll is! don't leave me here!" the man scream.
"why you were ready to kill us you are lucky that I only paralyzed you and not take your life." I was probably freaking the boys out right now but I knew that this was the only way to get the information we needed so I did it.
"I'm sorry really but please you cant leave me here!" he looked up at me with all his might. The boys were behind me so they couldn't see my face but the man could. I showed no emotion to him like I didn't care then I smirked and bent down grabbing him by the neck and pulling him up.
"where is it then?" I tighten my grip but gave him enough air for him to talk. "where?" I said again
"with my other team mates. There about a mile north of here they're waiting for me." I smiled a cold smile and dropped him.
"thanks" I turned around and started heading north.
"wait aren't you going to heal me first?"
"why would I do that?"
"you said you would!" he looked scared.
"I will come back and heal you if you have given me the right information. But if your lying I will come back and kill you. So for your sake you better not have lied." I looked at Sasuke and Naruto. "come on lets go." I started hopping trees.
"wait!" he yelled I didn't listen.
"Sakura what did you do? Oh my god!" Naruto looked at me like I was an evil person and I laughed.
"Naruto don't worry. I was joking. I put him in a genjustu making him think that he is paralyzed he will be able to move in about 2 days. I was just saying that to get what we needed."
"really?"
"yup! Did you actually think I would do such a cruelled thing?" I wasn't lying about the man in a genjustu but I have done it before and I would have killed him if the guys weren't watching me.
"wow Sakura you had me convinced" Naruto relax and had a big smile on his face. We looked at Sasuke because he crouched down low.
"we need a codeword. Just in case this happens again." he said. He told us the codeword and we agreed on it Sasuke took the scroll then after that a strong wind came from another enemy blowing us away.
