Dance of the Flower Petals

by Shashuko the Paisley Maiden

Sakura switches bodies... with a yaoi fangirl Narutard! Pairings will include SasuNaru, KibaHina, ShikaTem, SasoDei, KakuHida, and several OC pairings, but I'll try not to focus on those.

13. Test Are For Cheating and Body Snatching

(Naruto POV)

"I am Morino Ibiki, the head of interrogations in this village!" The speaker was a large, scary-looking man with a bandana on his head. "Proctor for the written section of this semester's chuunin exams!"

"Makes me feel like I'm still in school," Touka-chan muttered under her breath. I chuckled-- apparently, people our age are only about halfway through school where she comes from. So, technically, she should still be in school.

Ibiki passes out tests and explains the rules: We have a certain amount of time to answer all of the questions, and if we're caught cheating three times we get kicked out along with our teammates.

Then, I looked at the exam. This was gonna be hard.

(Touka POV)

I giggled when I got my test. Thanks to Inner Sakura's 'super-genius-skills', as I call them, and just plain remembering what some of the questions were so I could study the answers for them, this test was gonna be a breeze.

When the test started, I started writing quickly, though not frantically (that would attract attention). Then, since I was done, I started doodling a chibi picture of Ibiki on the back (since I knew he'd be looking over the tests later).

I was almost about to start shading in the darker parts of his clothing when someone else took over my mind.

(Ino POV)

"Shintenshin no jutsu!" I whispered, pointing at Touka. I doubted she was as smart as Forehead-Girl, but I knew that she'd still answered all the questions on the tests with scores almost as good as Sakura's. And better than mine.

How does that work? She's only been here a year! So how in hell did-- I'm getting off-topic.

When I overtook Sakura's body (that sounds all wrong-ish), the first thing I noticed was that there was more than one presence in her mind.

I prodded at one. "Hi, there!" It giggled. That was Touka's voice. "You know you can pass this thing as long as you don't get caught cheating, right? Naruto's gonna pass without ever writing anything down."

I blinked. "We don't have to have the actual answers?"

"Nope!" Touka said cheerfully. "You can tell your teammates once you get out of here. I wrote the answers anyway, so if you want them, they're there."

"You're awfully complacent."

"Well, if you don't pass, I won't l know who I'm fighting since you passed in the original," Touka explained. "You see, if your team doesn't make it to the part of the exam with the tournament, it'll be different than the original because you passed in the original. The number of people in the tournament-thingy will change and I'll fight someone else than I prepared to fight."

"That makes sense," I noted. "But... why is there another presence her besides your own?"

Touka paled. "That's... that's."

'Me,'a somewhat blunt and annoyed voice said. It sounded eerily familiar. 'You do remember me, right? Well, technically, you know the other half of me...'

In the blackness that is a person's mind, I saw a shadow outlined in white.

I gasped. "Sakura?"

'Not exactly.' The figure tapped her forehead. 'I'm INNER Sakura. You could say that I'm... the true Sakura, beyond this mask that people put up. Since Sakura changed so drastically under someone's care, from being shy to being more outspoken, I was created, this part of her is a different entity that what you see. So... I'm the half of Sakura that is more like Sakura.'

I blinked. "So... half of Sakura is in Touka's body?"

"Pretty much," Touka said, "But since Inner Sakura can't take over and control a body, her being there doesn't have much relevance. Though I am working on a jutsu to let her out as a clone..."

'I know everything Sakura knows, or at least everything she knew before this switching business,' Inner Sakura said, 'That's how Touka got such good test scores and knew how to act like Sakura for that month before she got sick of pretending to be obsessed with Sasuke. It's also how she's fluent in Japanese when her native language is English.'

Touka giggled. "For the first month or three, Inner-chan had to translate everything."

"Oh..." I said. "So... Inner-chan?"

'Yes?' Inner Sakura asked.

"Are you... completely disconnected from your other half?" I asked nervously.

Inner Sakura blinked. 'I think so...' she grinned. 'But I could always check.'

(Sakura POV)

I was taking a test in my-- err, Touka's math class when I heard something I hadn't heard in a long time.

'What's this? Algebra? Looks hard.'

I gasped out loud (the guy sitting next to me stared and was accused of cheating). 'Inner-chan?'

'Don't act so surprised, Outer-chan. After all, I am a part of you.'

'But... but I thought you were with Touka now! Since... we haven't talked since I ended up in her body.'

'So did I. But Piggy wondered if I would be able to talk to you, and I realized I hadn't tried.'

'Way to go Ino-chan!' I mentally cheered. 'But I'm... kind of taking a test right now.'

'So am I. How do you think I got in contact with Ino. Can you say, Chuunin Exams?'

'I knew that! In the last chapter that appeared in the manga, the first part was about to begin!'

'Was it? ... Interesting. Well, I'll see you later! Happy test-taking.'

'You too. Dammit! How am I gonna concentrate now?'

'I won't be able to either. Talk to ya later!' InnerSakura's presence faded and I went back to my algebra.

(Ino POV)

Inner Sakura disappeared for a few minutes, then came back.

'I CAN TALK TO HER, SHANNAROU!' she cheered.

"Wow, Inner-chan! How good for you!" Touka giggled.

"This... is confusing," I decided. "...Can you tell her I said hi?"

'I will!' Inner Sakura said. 'Now take your test answers and get out of here! Touka, hug Piggy for me later. If it weren't for her, this wouldn't be possible.'

"I will!" Touka promised.

I smiled awkwardly, got the test answers, and got the hell out of Sakura's/Touka's/Inner-chan's mind.

(Naruto POV)

Why were these test questions so HARD?! I wouldn't be able to answer these in a hundred years!

Slowly, I turned my eyes to Kuroko's test-- she was sitting next to me, happily copying answers with Hinata's byakugan (wow, that sounds confusing).

She quietly wrote in the margins cheerily, smiling all the while-- 'Naruto, stop looking at my test or I'll tell Sasuke what REALLY happened to those egg rolls.'

I gulped. That wasn't something I wanted Sasuke to know.

I nodded slightly, looking down at my test disparagingly.

(Sasuke POV)

Dammit, Naruto! Why can't you see the point is to cheat! I thought worriedly. I wanted to move on with these exams and fight that Gaara guy. You stupid dead-last dobe! If you don't pass the first round you'll be angsty for a week and who'll have to comfort you? Me!

It occurred to me momentarily that Touka would probably help, too, but I let that thought slip. I'd just gotten over the fact that she hugs Naruto incessantly (something only I should be able to do) by realizing that she hugs everybody at one point. If she walked up to my brother and hugged him, I'd be disgusted but not surprised.

o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.

(Touka POV)

'I wonder if I'll be able to stop myself from hugging the various new characters in this arc,' I thought idly while I watched Ino inhibit Shikamaru's body (that sounds wroooongggg...) out of the corner of my eye 'I wanna hug that Shigure guy since Gaara's about to kill him, I wanna hug Gaara since he's awesome and if I just ignore him like everyone else that would make Banshou-chan unhappy and she'll get pissed once I get home. I wanna hug Kankurou because he's wearing a fabulous cat-suit, I wanna hug Temari since she puts up with Kankurou who's probably really sucky to have as a brother (and Gaara but I'm refusing to think that way since I'll feel guilty about it later), I wanna hug Suigetsu's teammates since they're Mist-nin which AUTOMATICALLY makes them awesome, I wanna hug Suigetsu because he gave me Haku-kun's letter, and I really wanna hug Haku-kun because he knows I've got a massive creepy fangirl crush on him and he still tolerates me.' I blushed.

'Wonder how he's planning on returning that kiss...' I had several ideas (heehee), so I spent the rest of my time idly shading in my chibi Ibiki drawing and fantasizing about this (a/n: actually I do that a lot. fantasize my fanfiction plots. particularly this one) until Ibiki cleared his throat.

"We have one more question on this test," The Head Of Interrogations (And This Test) said, acting all scary-like and glaring at any Gennin who looked him in the eye (this included Suigestu, who glared back at him and stuck out his tongue extremely maturely, which made me giggle). "It will be the most difficult question of all-- if you fail this question, both you and your teammates will never be able to take this test again. You'll be gennin forever."

Ibiki smiled evilly as if nothing would please him more. "If you like, you can quit now and you and your teammates will merely be dropped from the exam. You can still stay and get box seats for the third round of the exams if you like, and no one will get hurt. Unless of course you'd rather doom all three of your team..."

He let his words hang in the air until someone chickened out and said he'd leave. He was followed by his teammates, who looked pissed.

Then, some other wuss chickened out and also left. His teammates were pissed too, and it occurred to me that I'd probably wuss out myself if I didn't know this was a trick and if I wasn't so damn excited to meet Anko-- there are only two good guy anime characters who associate with snakes. They're both absolutely fabulous. but she's the more kickass of the two, since the other runs a dress shop and obsesses over his winning back the affectioons of his little brother... 'nuff said.

Several more people got scared and left, until Naruto cracked and stood up.

"Yes?" Ibiki raised his eyebrows. I think. His eyebrows are covered by his bandanna. BUT if Gaara can scrunch his eyebrows when he glares --and he doesn't have any eyebrows, but he scrunches them nonetheless--, then Ibiki can certainly raise his eyebrows even when they're under his bandanna.

Ibiki smirked at Naruto. "Giving up, boy?"

Naruto glared (not that this is intimidating-- it's actually rather adorable. oh, come on, you've all seen it.). "No!" he said determinedly.

Everyone stared at Naruto as he continued. "I'm gonna be Hokage someday, and I won't do very well if I give up on everything because I'm scared! I'm gonna take this question on the test, pass it, and I'm gonna be Chuunin!" He smirked. "I refuse to quit!!"

Half of the people in the room (this doesn't count Kabuto or any of the sound siblings, but surprisingly it counts Suigetsu and Sasuke) pumped their fist and cheered.

Eveyrone who was standing (sans Ibiki) sat back down. A minute or five passed, and no one stood up or spoke a word.

"... Is that everyone?" Ibiki asked. "No one else want to quit?"

Silence echoed around the room (I wanted to start singing Simon and Garfunkel's 'The Sounds of Silence,' but I managed to control myself-- it helped that I only know half the words anyway) and Ibiki smirked his un-comforting smirk once more.

"All right then!" he announced. "Each one of you... passes!"

The entire room ('cept Gaara) banged the heads on their desks (a/n: HEADDESK!). "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!"

"A ninja must look underneath the underneath," Ibiki began. I could see Kuro-chan start to mouth the words out of the corner of her mouth.

"A ninja is courageous. The lives and well-being of your teammates are important to both you and the village, but you can't let your fear that they'll be injured stop you from completing the mission. You must stand strong--"

Something large and awesome interrupted him by crashing through the window.

"Hello maggots! I'm Mitarashi Anko!" In the middle of the lowest level of the classroom stood a woman with purple spiky hair. "I'll be your proctor for the second part of the exams."

"Anko, you interrupted me again," Ibiki said in a shockingly whiny voice. "Please stop doing that."

Anko smiled fake-politely at Ibiki. "Aww... does Ikki-kun need to be punished again?" she grabbed a kunai of out her sleeve and twirled it around the way some people back home twirl their pencils.

Ibiki shivered and shook his head. Anko smirked.

"Well, you might be anyway... you left too many for me to take care of. Oh, well! I can fix that, can't I? Kukuku..."

Ibiki tranport-jutsu'd the hell out of there, being the smart guy that he is, leaving Anko to announce:

"This next part of your Chuunin exam will take place in training area 44. The Forest of Death! If you don't know how to get there, you damn well better follow me!" She ran back out of the hole in the wall she'd created, all of us following her.

"Wow, she's awesome," I said.

"I know, right?" Kuro-chan came up from behind me.

I giggled. "And I'll be going into the forest... wonder if I'll run into any giant snakes along the way."

Kuro-chan smirked. "Are you talking about Orochimaru's summons or Orochimaru's--"

"Please don't finish that sentence," I laughed. "Not the sort of thing I need on my mind when I'm about to risk my life and stuff, kay?"

"And cut your hair?" Kuro-chan said, poking me in the arm. I rolled my eyes.

"That won't even be an option, since if anyone gets close enough to me I'll scream."

Kuro-chan raised her eyebrows. "And? If their hearing is sensitive like mine is in my original body, that might hurt their eardrums, but it won't do much else."

I smirked. "You got here before my fight with the demon brothers was covered, didn't you?"

"... And?" Kuro-chan asked.

"Well, I didn't do what Sakura did and wait for 'Sasuke-kun' to save me. I took action! The justu I used is pretty damn loud."

Kuro-chan blinked. "What?"

"Pretty much," said Sasuke, catching up to us (ha Sasuke you run like a girl!), "Touka can use her chakra ti scream so loud it knocks people out."

Kuro-chan stared at me and started twitching. Then, we both cracked up.

"Ahaha! Well, if-- haha! You'll excuse me, I have an nternal monologue to complete with Inner Sakura, so..." I trailed off, slowing down for a bit so I was no longer running next to them.

'Hey, Inner?'

'Yes, Touka?'

'Can you patch me through to Outer Sakura? There's something we need to discuss.'

(Anko POV)

It took the gennin approximately half an hour to all catch up to me, which was annoying but gave me time to eat copious amounts of dango, so I was all right with that.

Once they were all gathered, I explained the second part of the exam to them, which I won't go into since you all know what it is anyway.

Also, I threw a kunai at some kid to scare them and it grazed their cheek. SO, to scare him further, I licked the blood off of him and said something creepy about blood tasting good.

His teammates had completely opposite reactions. The boy glared at me possessively and pulled the blonde kid out of my grip. The girl just giggled.

I blinked. "Was that really that funny?"

She shook her head. "It's just that I would only lick my own blood. I mean, I'm pretty sure Naruto has no blood-transmitted diseases, but if he did you'd have them now."

"True..." I said, "But it's worth scaring children!"

Surprisingly, she also giggled at this. "Only when they're innocent enough and cute enough when they're scared. I have a friend like that..."

I smirked. "You're interesting... most kids are afraid of me for some reason."

The girl shrugged. "Well, I see things differently than other sometimes. I'm pretty damn open-minded."

"That's always a good thing to be," I noted. "Say, what's your name, little girl?"

"Yaezaki Touka." Touka held out her hand, and I shook it. "Nice to meet you Mitarashi-san!"

"You too. You know, I--"

"Is this yours, Madam?" a very looong tongue reached over my shoulder and gave me the kunai I'd thrown at Touka's blonde teammate.

"Why, yes!" I said. "And here I thought people didn't teach their children politeness anymore..."

"They try," Touka said, "They usually don't succeed. However, people are more likely to not hurt you if they like you, so I try to make myself likable to some-- and that means politeness."

"I agree," said girl (?) who'd returned my kunai. "Unless you know the person well or if they're an extremely low subordinate, you should retain politeness."

"But politeness is another thing that's a manner of opinion, just like pretty much anything else," Touka told the long-tongued girl.

"Really? Like what?" The long-tongued girl asked.

"Well, like..." Touka thought for a minute. "What is and isn't art. For instance, some people might say that art is some fleeting that only lasts a second, while others would say something isn't art unless it's unchanging-- immortal, everlasting."

"Everlasting..." the long-tongued girl spat. "Someone I knew said that once. I never got along well with him..."

"Oh, I know that," Touka chuckled. "In fact, I probably know more about that person's back-story than you do."

The long-tongued girl glared at Touka. "And why would you think that? Do you work for him or something?"

Touka giggled again. "Nope! It's just that he's an anime character."

"What? No he isn't he's real."

"Well, to me, that person is an anime character. And so are you." Touka stuck out her tongue. "But whose fault is it that I'm here, anyway?"

Before the long-tongued girl had a chance to reply, Touka had skipped off to sign her release forms for the exam.

"That little..." the girl with the long tongue growled something explicit to herself.

The boy who's cheese I'd licked stared at her. "Do you know Touka-chan or something?"

"No, technically I've never met her."

And the girl with the long tongue stalked off to go fume somewhere. Or something. Truthfully, I had no idea at the time who that person was or what they were up to.

I found out later.

(Ibiki POV)

I was going through the tests, just to see who had written what. It always amuses me that some people figure out the point of the test is answer all smart-alecky.

For instance:

'The Answer is C, bitch!' -- found on the test of Hyuuga Hinata (a/n: aka Kuro-chan).

A test that was completely blank except for a lot of eraser marks-- Uzumaki Naruto.

A test with a doodle of ME on the back-- Yaezaki Touka (by the way, the drawing sucked).

A test doodled all over with hearts and flowers and the phrase 'Inuzuka Hinata'-- Inuzuka Kiba.

A disturbingly accurate drawing of Izumo wearing nothing except a leaf-- the proctor Kotestu.

... Wait, Kotestu? And Izumo?

I growled. 'Damn you, Kotetsu.'

me: whew! finally finished a chapter! soryy it took so long-- I can't take a desktop computer with me to camp or to midwestern america. did you know that if you look at Mount Rushmore from the right vantage point, it looks like President Roosevelt and President Lincoln are kissing?
