A few days later, Lee knocked on Keiko's door. Keiko opened the door and welcomed Lee inside. They went up to Keiko's room, so she could finish getting ready. As soon as Keiko put on her headband (which she almost never wore), Lee walked up behind Keiko, wrapped his arms around her, and held her.
"Lee, you better let go before one of my parents catches us," Keiko told Lee. Lee kissed Keiko and let go. Then Keiko and Lee left her house.
On the way to the exams, Keiko laid her head against Lee, and Lee held her. Keiko was nervous about taking the exam, and Lee knew it. Lee tried to comfort Keiko as much as he could on the way to the exams.
When they got to the exam building, Lee walked Keiko up to the door, and hugged her.
"Lee, I'm nervous," Keiko said resting her head against Lee. Lee lifted Keiko's head up and kissed her.
"It'll be fine. I promise. I'll be here waiting for you when you're finished. Okay?" Lee asked Keiko. Keiko nodded and gave Lee one last hug before she went inside the exam room.
As soon as Keiko stepped into the exam room, two guys came running up to her. Keiko recognized them as her two temporary teammates.
"Hey Botan and Hiroshi," Keiko said to them.
"Hey, what's up?" Botan asked Keiko. Botan was tall with short black hair that had white highlights.
"Yeah, what's up?" Hiroshi asked. Hiroshi was slightly shorter than Botan, and he had bright red hair that stuck out in all directions.
"Alright! Listen up everyone! Take your seats! It's time for the written part of the Exams!" The Head Ninja at the front of the room barked.
Keiko sighed and sat down at her seat. Then she looked around for her two team mates. She found them both. Botan as sitting two rows behind her, and Hiroshi was sitting about three rows ahead of her.
As the exam proctors passed out the written exam, the Head Ninja barked out the rules. Keiko sighed. Lee told her all the rules ahead of time. There were no rules, and if they caught you cheating, you and your team mates were done. Keiko hoped that Botan and Hiroshi didn't get caught cheating.
Soon, the exam was over. Keiko didn't cheat, and if Botan or Hiroshi did, they didn't get caught. After the Head Ninja told them what they were doing for the second part of the Exam, Keiko, Hiroshi, and Botan got together and talked about what was going on. They all agreed to meet up early before the next part of the exam to think out how they were going to pass. Then Keiko left and went outside to meet Lee. As he promised, he was waiting for her.
"So Keiko, how did it go?" Lee asked. Keiko smiled and hugged him. Lee hugged her back.
"It went fine. My team mates and I passed," Keiko told Lee happily. Lee let out a sigh of relief and kissed Keiko. Keiko kissed him back.
"So, when is the next part of the exam taking place?" Lee asked Keiko. Keiko soon became really quiet. 'What's wrong?" Lee asked. He was worried.
"Tomorrow. We're going to be in the forest for three days. I'm going to miss you," Keiko started crying. Lee hugged Keiko and told her to calm down.
"I'll be here for you when you're done Keiko. I promise," Lee told Keiko lovingly. Keiko smiled and then they went off to get something to eat. After they were done eating, Keiko stuck Lee into the house so he could spend the night with Keiko.
