Tackle slowly raised her hands in the air, "Okay, just calm down," she said, "We don't want anyone to get hurt here."

She could feel the figure behind relax just the slightest bit, that's when she grabbed him arm and flipped him over her head and into the pond. She got her fists up and the moment her attacker resurfaced she gave him a punch to the jaw. His body turned along with his head, leaving his left side wide open for an attack. Grabbing his arm and shoving his face in the water Tackle yelled, "What the hell is your problem? Jumping a girl while she's bathing like that!"

She let go when she noticed that he had stopped struggling, "Oops, did I kill him?" thought Tackle, flipping him over and holding his head above the water. For the first time, Tackle got a good look at the assailant. He had spiky blonde hair and wore an orange jumpsuit and a headband with a leave carved in it. "Are those whiskers?" she thought, poking his face, "Now that I think about it…he looks a lot like that anime character, Naruto…"

"That idiot," a voice said from behind her.

Tackle jumped at the sound of his voice, she turned to see a boy dressed in a blue shirt and white shorts, his hair was jet black and his eyes were the same color. "Hey, he looks just like Sasuke…"

"If Naruto really wanted to get your scroll he should have just searched your clothes," the boy said.

"Hey, Sasuke!" A girl Tackle hadn't noticed yelled from her pile of clothes. "She has a heaven scroll, just like us."

The blonde she had nearly drowned was sputtering and choking and managed to cough out, "Damn, I was hoping we could finish this quickly."

"I'm going insane."

"What?" the orange clad boy asked.

"I'm seeing anime characters," Tackle said, "I'm going insane. That's the only explanation…"

"What is she blabbering about?" they black eyed boy asked, annoyed.

"I don't know," the girl said, she was dressed in red and had long, pink hair.

Tackle climbed out of the pond and walked straight over to the boy in blue, "You're Sasuke Uchiha, right?"

"That depends on who's asking."

Tackle ignored him and turned to the pink-haired girl, "You're Sakura Haruno, and that blonde boy is Naruto Uzumaki…am I right?"

"H-how did you know?" Sakura asked. "Everyone knows Sasuke's name but no one knows Naruto…"

"Holy shit," she whispered, "Okay, obviously the drug they used to make me sleep so they could change my clothes is having a side effect…yes, that's it: the hallucinating is a side effect."

"We should get out of here before her team shows up," Sasuke said, tuning on his heel.

"Team? Oh yeah…if I'm here in the Chunnin exams that must mean I have a team of three…" Tackle wondered out loud. She walked over to her pile of clothes and rummaged through it until she found the metal band she hadn't paid much attention to before, "Wait…I'm a…sound ninja?"

Sasuke and Sakura both turned to look at her, horror was written all over Sakura's face and Sasuke looked disgusted. "Could she be the girl who…?" Sakura asked quietly.

"Now that I think about it, she has to be. Look at her ankles and wrists," Sasuke said, motioning to Tackle.

Tackle looked down and noticed scars on her wrists and ankles, not like they had been cut but as if something had been wrapped around them, chaffing her skin so much that it left scars. She blushed in embarrassment, remembering that she was half naked; she pulled on her shirt and pants. Her hands seemed to work on their own as she wrapped the strips of cloth she had removed to go swimming around her ankles and tied a bag around her leg.

"Huh? Who is she?" Naruto asked, pulling himself out of the water and heading over to where his team stood. "What about those scars? I don't get it…"

"Dimwit," hissed Sakura.

"There's a rumor going around that one sound ninja girl was so ruthless that she killed her teammates in cold blood the day that she was assigned to them. They allowed her to compete in the Chunin exams only because she was such a promising ninja and they figured that if she could get through all of it alone she deserved to become a Chunin…" Sasuke said, staring straight at Tackle, "The girl's name was, Tackle Trehcrob."

Tackle froze, "That's…my name…"

"I thought so," Sasuke spat, as if he was sick just by looking at her.

Naruto looked at the girl sitting on the ground, "You mean…she…?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"No…please, we won't hold you back," the girl sobbed. Her hair was tangled and her clothes were torn, she held a bloody boy in her arms. There were kunai knives riddling both of their bodies. As the girl cried, blood dripped out of her mouth and fell on the boy's head.

"I doubt that," a girl with short, brown hair that was held back with white clips laughed, "If you can't even hold back my attacks how can you possibly hope to survive in the ninja world?"

The girl on the ground looked up, she had deep, empty eyes. "Would you really kill two innocent people who have done nothing to you?"

"You mean the same way I killed my parents?" She asked, "Yes." She lunged at the two injured ninja with kunai knives, they died instantly.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"There was…so much blood…" Tackle whispered, staring at the grass she sat on. Tears trickled down her face as her stomach heaved and emptied its contents on the ground. The team of ninja she had been talking to must have left while she was daydreaming because they were no where to be seen. "Was that me? Did I do that? What's going on?" she asked herself.

A scream sounded not far away from where she sat.
