Your/Kimi's POV*
As you walk down the dark street, you hear several noises coming from nearby alleys.
You stop and look down the dark path.
A couple of odd looking men step out, and look at you.
The one closest to you smiles and looks back to his friends.
"I think this one should be fun to play with." He says before looking back at you.
The others chuckle and exchange glances.
He steps closer to you, and puts his hand on your face.
You smile, and he looks at you confused.
"I don't mind having fun with you," you say, "if you can handle me."
Your smile widens as the man steps back to see, a snake wrapping around his hand.
He shudders as you bring your finger up to your lips.
"Shhh…" you whisper into his ear.
You can tell by the look in his eyes that he is shitting himself.
"I'm sorry boys, but I am kind of in a hurry. I need to buy some instant ramen for a friend." You say, saluting to the stunned men.
You smile and turn to walk away.
The snakes follow you and hide in your clothing again.
As you continue your walk down the dark street, you see the shadow of someone step out from behind a building.
You look more carefully and see that it is Sasuke.
You smile and wave at him but he just looks at you, annoyed.
You frown and walk over to him.
"Hi Sasuke-kun, what are you doing tonight?" you ask him.
His eyes are distant and you realise that he must have been doing some deep thinking.
"… nothing." He mumbles.
"Do you want to hang out?" you suggest.
"Huh?" he looks at you stunned.
"Naruto-kun, Kiba-kun and Shikamaru-kun are having a guy's night," you had learned the other boys name at some point during the night, "I don't think that they would mind if I brought over another person."
He relaxes, "Sure."
"Well, you will have to come with me to get some ramen if you want to be let in." you taunt him, winking.
He smiles, or at least it looks like he smiled.
Sasuke walks with you to 'Ichiraku Ramen' and even pays for half the ramen.
"Thanks," you say, "You didn't have to do that."
He just nods dismissively.
"Kimi-san?" he asks.
You look at him, surprised to hear him talk for the first time.
"Would you mind telling me…?" he trails off, looking down and to the side.
"About what?" you ask, looking at him curiously.
"About your Kekkei-genkai thingy."
You look at him and he looks away.
"Actually, you don't have to if you don't want to." He says quickly.
You see him blush slightly.
"Oh." You smile, "I don't know much about it." You say.
"Why not?" he asks you.
"Well, I haven't had it for very long. I am still trying to figure it out." You lie.
"Oh." He looks up to you, checking your reaction.
You smile slightly, and look back down to the ground.
You and Sasuke got back to the apartment.
"Knock knock!" you yell through the door, your hands and Sasuke's full of ramen.
"Who is it?" you hear Naruto and Kiba call back.
"Me and Sasuke!" you yell, 'When will they open the damn door'
"Me and Sasuke WHO?" they scream back.
"Never mind!" you yell back kicking the door in with ease.
It swung around on its hinges.
"Oh, Sasuke." Kiba looks at Sasuke with glaring eyes.
"I brought Sasuke-kun over, thought you could use another guy for your 'guy's night'" you say, walking through the room, and into your room.
"Kimi, wait!" Naruto calls after you.
You stop and spin around on your heels.
"Do you want to join in, it can be a guy's and girl night?" he asks you.
Smiling you walk over and sit down next to Naruto and Sasuke.
Kiba glares at Sasuke and then at you.
You call off the dogs by smiling at him in reassurance.
You spend the rest of the night listening to the boys talking about their 'love' interests and then swearing to them that there is no way that you would spill their secrets.
Shikamaru talks about Ino.
Naruto talks about Sakura.
Kiba tells it straight and talks about you as you blush wildly, not liking the attention.
Sasuke assures everyone that his only goal is to kill his brother 'how emo!' and that there is no room for a girl in his plans.
And then it gets to you.
All four boys stare at you curiously.
You frown and say, "What?"
"We want to know something about you."
You look at them confused.
"Like who you like…" they continue.
"But I don't like anyone."
"Well, how about what goes on in Orochimaru's lair?" Shikamaru says bluntly.
Sasuke and Naruto tense, knowing your previous reactions to the question.
You smile, not wanting to cause a scene.
"Okay, what do you want to know?" you ask.
"How about everything?" he says, aiming to keep the subject of the conversation.
"Sure." You say and tell your story, leaving out the important parts.
You make sure to add in a fake bit about your family and life before being taken by Orochimaru.
The night goes on and you find that you had more fun than you expected.
Naruto and you pull out a whole group of futons and lay them on the floor.
The boys get themselves ready for bed and you go into your room.
After unwrapping yourself you lie down and sigh loudly before crying yourself to sleep.
The morning comes fast and you wake to find that the boys had all moved into your room.
You step over the sleeping ninja and walk to the kitchen.
No ramen.
You search for some form of edible food.
Reaching into the fridge you get some eggs and milk, you search the cupboards for flour and sugar.
You have just enough to make some pancakes.
After smelling the pancakes the boys leave your room and enter the kitchen.
You smile and serve the hot circles with syrup.
Naruto reaches for some ramen toppings then applies them to the pancakes and you gag at the thought of what he was putting into his mouth.
You finish your last pancake and go outside to train.
Tomorrow is the first day of the Chunin exams and you think that you are ready, knowing that you have beaten ninja at the level of Anbu.
You throw your last kunai at a tree and smile to see that they all hit exactly on target.
You walk forward to retrieve your treasures.
As you turn around you notice a chakra pulse coming from the trees.
"Sasuke-kun, what are you doing?" you yell, turning to see him walking into the clearing.
"I was checking up on you." He looks concerned. "I heard you crying last night."
You freeze, and look him in the eye. "Don't you dare tell anyone about that!"
He frowns, "I wasn't gonna!" he looks at you hurt in his eyes.
You smile and whisper under your breath, "thank you."
He stays with you and trains, you talk to him and he tells you that Kakashi had told them that their team, Kurenai's team and Asuma's team were also participating in the Chunin exams.
You smile knowing that you can spend more time with the rookie teams.
After training Sasuke walked you back to Naruto's house, you waved and closed the door behind you.
"Kimi! I'm so excited that I can't think!" he screams at you.
You stop him, and grab his shoulders, "Naruto! If you don't sleep, you will fail the Chunin exams and be a Genin for your whole life!" you say, raising an eyebrow.
He stopped, worry in his eyes.
You smiled and patted him on the back before he ran to his bed.
You laughed and walked over to your futon to go to sleep yourself.
You woke early to find Naruto still asleep.
You shook him hard but failed to wake the sleeping Genin.
You take out a packet of instant ramen.
Opening it and heating it up with boiled water; you 'summoned' Naruto with the smell.
He runs into the kitchen where you are standing eating your ramen.
"You didn't get me some?" he asked desperately.
"Nope." You reply before jumping out of the window.
You get to the building and realise that you are hours early.
You spend the left over time focusing chakra into your feet and walking around on the ceiling.
It was fun and also beneficial for training.
You listened to the many conversations of the Genin who were wandering arriving an hour before the exams.
When there was about half an hour left, you could see Sasuke walk in followed shortly by Naruto and Sakura.
You smiled as you walked around before dropping down to walk in as the exams begun.
Once through the doors you met up with team 7 and the other rookie teams.
There were introductions as you met, Ino and Choji.
You also meet three Konoha ninja who were a year older than you.
They were Neji Hyuuga (Hinata's cousin), Rock Lee (the so called handsome devil) and Tenten (The weapons expert).
A certain grey haired ninja caught your attention.
Kabuto walked over to you, smiling.
"Kimi-chan!" he said hugging you and lifting you into the air.
"Go away Kabuto!" you say, "I have decided to stay here."
He frowns, "What?" his voice changes.
"I said; I don't want to go back with you."
"I can't force you to but I should also say; Orochimaru-sama won't be happy about this." He whispered into your ear.
"I don't care." You say, glaring at him. "But if you say anything about my 'connection' to Orochimaru I will kill you!"
"Don't fret Kimi-chi; I can't say anything without admitting my connection as well." He smirks and winks to you.
You frown as you see Kabuto walk past you and towards the rookies.
He explains to them, the concept of the Chunin exams.
Then he makes a show of his ninja info cards.
Telling the 3 teams about all the ninja.
He leaves out the sand Nin (Gaara), and the sound Nin. (because of their connection to Orochimaru)
Forming a bond Kabuto erases any suspicion that the teams have of him.
Morino Ibiki, the proctor begins the examination.
He explains the first part of the exams.
Telling you that you must answer 10 questions and get at least one correct, hinting that cheating is okay, as long as you don't get caught.
You begin and see that everyone else looks confused; you just sit there and let the snakes slither out of your clothes and around the other ninja.
Your snakes read other people's results and then hiss the answers back to me.
Their hissing too high a pitch for normal shinobi ears to hear.
I chuckle to myself at how easy it was.
The exams continue to progress.
As you make your way to the forest of death (Training ground 12) you talk to Anko.
She seems to have grown fond of you, thinking that you have shared a similar past.
The second round of the Chunin exams begins, and all the teams get a scroll.
You get an earth scroll and you need to get a heaven scroll.
You get put into a group with Kotetsu and Izumo, because you have no team of your own.
The two Chunin have to support you, but not carry you through the whole course.
The teams are sent to different gates to begin.
Kotetsu looks at you and smiles and Izumo just gives you a thumbs-up.
You smile and face the gate
GO!
You run into the forest as fast as you can.
Kotetsu and Izumo struggle to keep up.
"Senai Jashuu" you whisper as snakes fly out of your hands.
You smile as they scatter throughout the forest.
A vine covered, green forest is the perfect setting for your jutsus.
You slow down and Kotetsu and Izumo catch their breath.
Your snakes had spotted some rain ninja.
The ninja were attempting to sneak up on you, lowering their chakra.
You smiled and signalled to the others in your team to stop and then point in the direction of the ninja.
Your team does as you say, looking around.
"How did you know we were there?" the enemy ninja ask, stepping out of the bushes.
You raise your hands, "Kanashibari no Jutsu." (Body Freeze Jutsu) You say, turning to look them in the eyes.
The stunned look in their gaze causes you to smile.
Kotetsu and Izumo look at the ninja, who were easily caught in your Jutsu and then back at you.
You realise that in Konoha only the Anbu know this move.
You look at them and say, "I learned it in Orochimaru's captivity," with a slight tear in your eye.
A fake tear.
They both look at you with sympathetic eyes.
You turn to the ninja, still frozen.
Your snakes begin to spiral up the legs of the three, and around their bodies.
One snake enters each of the ninja's bags, and pockets.
And one of them emerges and slithers over to you.
You pick it up and it opens it mouth all the way, the scroll slides out, still wrapped in the tongue of the snake.
You pull it out and check the scroll.
Turning to Kotetsu and Izumo, you yell, "It's a heaven scroll!" and they both give you a smile.
As you walk with your team you raise your hand to in front of your face and whisper, "Release."
The snakes begin to slither off of the rain ninja as they gain use of their limbs.
You and your team decide to settle down and catch some sleep after travelling through the forest for days.
You volunteer to keep watch, as you aren't tired.
A sudden chakra burst frightens you.
Not because of the timing, but because you recognise the chakra.
It was Orochimaru.
You felt another quick burst of the terrifying chakra, this time you were prepared for it.
You got up and made a Senei Bunshin, knowing that it was irresponsible to leave your team and go play family reunion.
You sent the Clone off to see the battle now obviously occurring between Orochimaru and some poor ninja.
Snake Clone's POV*
After leaving the base, you ran the distance towards the constantly growing bursts of chakra coming from the Senei-teme. (Snake bastard)
It takes you a while to reach the epicentre of chakra flow.
On the way you find a snake, so obviously summoned by Orochimaru.
It is struggling to move, because of the growing mass inside of it.
As it bursts open you see none other than Naruto.
"Kimi?" he looks surprised to see you.
"Sorry Naruto, I have got to go." You reply before running off to see which ninja got caught in Orochimaru's trap.
You make it just in time to see, Sasuke standing in front of a giant snake and Sakura standing to the side looking helpless.
You want to jump in but don't know what the bastard might say, seeing you here.
He could give away your whole life.
You stand and helplessly watch as Orochimaru intimidates Sasuke to a point of which you never thought he would get to.
Sasuke was about to give up all hope and pass his scroll to Orochimaru.
'That is not the Sasuke I know' you think to yourself.
Just as he was about to give it to Orochimaru Naruto comes flying through the trees and snatches it out of Sasuke's hand.
Sasuke looks dumbfounded.
You laugh at the sight of his and Sakura's faces.
You catch your hand over your mouth a bit too late.
Orochimaru's head whips around to look in your direction.
'Did he see me?' you take a step back.
Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto are all looking your way now.
But their attention is quickly averted back to Orochimaru.
The fight continues, with many close shots.
Orochimaru, the bastard attempts to re-seal Naruto's Kyubi with a 5-part seal.
What was the baka thinking!
Naruto then falls unconscious and Sasuke manages to throw a kunai pinning him to a tree.
You sneak up to the tree, and use a snake to detach him and bring him down to you.
You look at the new seal on his stomach.
Having an odd seal over an even one will definitely screw with Naruto's chakra control.
You attempt to remove it, but you find that you are incapable.
You, being a clone haven't got a decent supply of chakra.
Also, the seal was performed by one of the Sanin, thus making it almost impossible to remove except by a Sanin.
You take Naruto to the bushes and begin to heal some of his chakra wounds.
Finding that he just needs rest you look back to the fight going on.
You continue watching helplessly as Orochimaru's neck stretches out to bite Sasuke's neck.
Sasuke's newly formed curse mark spirals into shape on his left shoulder.
You frown, knowing the pain he is going through as he screams.
You decide that now was the right time to jump in.
If he did spill some info about you, the only one conscious to hear it would be Sakura and she wouldn't do anything that could hurt you.
You run to where Sasuke lands and catch him before gently placing him next to Naruto.
"Kimi!" you hear the voice caress your name as you look up to see the disgusting snake.
"Why are you doing this?" you scream at the serpent.
Sakura looks at you and then back to Orochimaru fear in her eyes.
You run to him, Kunai in both your hands.
You throw them to him, a snake appearing in front of him.
You see this just in time; you place our hands together and make several hand-signs.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" Summoning Jutsu) you yell, the snake in front of him disappearing in a puff of smoke before appearing in front of you.
The man spits up some blood before dipping his hands into his pockets.
He pulls out several kunai and swiftly throws them at you.
You manoeuvre through most of them, but one slightly clips your cheek.
Orochimaru pulls on a string as the kunai flies back to him.
He grabs the kunai and cuts his finger with before placing his hand on a scroll he had taken from his back.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" he says smiling, as you realise what he is doing.
You vanish in a puff of smoke, a contract forming on the scroll.
You think as you get pulled into the scroll, 'Imagine what Orochimaru will think when he finds out that I'm a Senei Bunshin?' you laugh.
"KIMI!" Sakura yells in panic as you disappear.
I want reviews, they would make me write faster
