Disclaimer- I do not own Naruto just my OC's and the plot. :D

If anyone was wondering, Jun is a screech owl.

Chuunin exam, Part 1

I waited outside the academy, glancing around nervously for my team to show up. I was early, but I hadn't been able to wait any longer. Even Jun seemed nervous, which was very uncommon. It was about two thirty, and I was wondering if they had given up and decided not to show, when they appeared around the corner talking. I rolled my eyes and laughed.

"You guys had me worried for a minute." I told them, smiling. They gave nervous smiles, and we walked inside. We went up two flights of stairs and were crossing the hallway when we saw a bunch of kids outside of a room. I looked up at the number, it read 301.

"Well, we found the place." Kaito said, and I nodded. We walked forward when a boy almost flew into us, and landed on the ground next to me. I gasped.

"Are you alright?" I asked him, bending over to see him better. Kaito was arguing with the boy who had punched the guy next to me. The boy looked up at me. He had a bowl-cut hairstyle, and his hair was black and glossy. He had big, intense black eyes that seemed to bore through me, and I had to force down a cringe. He wore a green jumpsuit-like-thing with his Hitai-ate tied around his waist, and he wore orange leggings. He stood up and held his thumb up at me while smiling.

"Hai! Thank you for worrying about me, beautiful miss." The boy said. I blushed but smiled.

"No problem, I'm Kimura Tsukiko." I told him. He seemed overjoyed about something. Maybe he couldn't get a lot of girls to talk to him? I mentally shrugged.

"I'm Rock Lee, everyone calls me Lee though." He told me. I nodded.

"You can call me Kiko, but for right now I'm afraid I have to go drag my team mate off that boy." I excused myself, and literally dragged Kaito off the boy.

"What are you doing?" He asked me, as I rolled my eyes.

"Can't you tell? It's a genjutsu. We're only on the second floor." Roka told him, and I nodded as we walked up the stairs. He got quiet and flushed, probably embarrassed he hadn't noticed.

As we reached the hallway, we saw someone standing at the end of it.

"Hiroshi-sensei?" I asked, confused.

"Hai." He nodded.

"What are you doing here?" Roka asked. Hiroshi smiled nervously at us. I was a bit freaked out. I had never seen Hiroshi sensei so out of character.

"Well, you see, I had to make sure all three of you came. The exam is a team thing. If even one of you had not come, you would not be allowed to take the exam." He told us, smiling. I frowned.

"Why not tell us?" I asked, annoyed. He looked down at his feet, and looked back up.

"I was afraid you might force Roka to do it, and then he wouldn't give everything he had to win. You know? I wanted him to want to be here. Not for him to feel like he had to do it." Hiroshi told us, staring at Roka who looked shocked. Roka himself shook his head.

"I really do want to be here." Roka told him, smiling. Hiroshi nodded and grinned. He held out his arms.

"Group hug!" Hiroshi yelled, and scooped us all up in a bone-crushing hug. I giggled from my spot next to Roka, who was in between me and Kaito. He finally released us. He glanced at Jun, who was perched on the window sill, and I could feel the amusement dripping from the little owl. Hiroshi walked over, and petted Jun.

"Good luck to all of you. I'll see you later." He told us, and was gone in his customary puff of smoke. I smirked and shook my head, taking a deep breath.

"You guys ready?" Kaito asked, his hand on the door, waiting to push it open. I stood up straight and gave him a determined look. I nodded, and saw Roka do the same. Jun flitted onto my shoulder, and Kaito pushed the door open.

We all stepped inside, and I gasped as I saw the room was filled with genin. Before I could take them all in, I heard something to my right. I looked over and saw Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke. Ino was currently dangling off of Sasuke's neck and I rolled my eyes as I walked over. Kaito and Roka followed. Shikamaru and Chouji stepped up behind Ino and I grinned as I saw them.

"What's up with this?" Shikamaru said in a bored tone, while Chouji munched on some chips.

"Are you guys going to take this bothersome exam too?" He asked Naruto's team. He didn't seem to have noticed us yet. Before I could say anything, Naruto beat me to it.

"Oh, it's the idiot trio." Naruto said, leaning towards Shikamaru.

"Quit calling us that! Man this is a freaking bother…" I walked closer, and smacked Naruto's head.

"It's not polite to insult people. And if I recall, you had the bottom grades in the class back at the academy. So you really shouldn't be talking." I told him, smirking.

"Hi Shikamaru! Hi Chouji!" I told both of my friends. Chouji stopped eating long enough to wave and smile, while Shikamaru nodded.

"HEY!" Naruto yelled at me. I rolled my eyes at him. I walked back to my team, but as I did, Kiba and his team approached. I frowned and crossed my arms.

"Yahoo! I found you." Kiba announced as he and his team stopped at the edge of the group. I caught Hinata's eye and smiled at her. She smiled back and gave a small wave.

"My my, everybody's here. Even fowl girl." He shot in my direction.

"Naruto, I take that back. There is only one person stupider than you. And it's that mutt." I told Naruto, and he had been grinning until he realized I had still called him stupid.

"HEY" He shouted once again, but it was ignored.

"H-Hello." Hinata said quietly. Naruto looked up at her.

"At least I'm not a pathetic, fat, fowl girl." He snarled at me. I rolled my eyes, smirking. I gestured to my body.

"I'm not fat. I'm curvy." I told him. He flushed and looked away. I waited for a come-back, but it didn't come. I looked at him curiously, but shrugged. He is an idiot after all. Probably can't come up with anything other than 'Fowl girl'. If I had paid attention, I would've seen Shikamaru stare at me for a few moments.

"What did you say? You guys too? Man." Shikamaru said to Kiba.

"Ha! I see. This means all twelve rookies are taking the exam, eh…! Now then, how far can we go? Eh, Sasuke?" Kiba said to Sasuke, who he was facing.

"Hm. You're mighty confident Kiba." Sasuke replied, while Ino looked pissed at Kiba's comment. I smirked; I really didn't like Ino all that much. My dad always told me to forgive people who say bad things to other people, but Ino was always bringing up that I needed to go on a diet or something whenever I was around her. Even now I still couldn't forgive her.

"We've trained a great deal, so, we won't lose to you guys!" Kiba told him, matter-of-factly.

"Shut up!" Naruto said. "I don't know about Sasuke, but I won't lose to the likes of you!" Naruto pointed at Kiba.

"I'm sorry Naruto." Hinata said, pushing her fingers together. "Kiba didn't mean it like that…"

"Huh?" Naruto asked, leaning closer, like he couldn't hear her. I rolled my eyes, but smiled when Hinata blushed. Kiba looked over at her. Just then, Chouji took a step closer to Kiba, but Shino stopped him by stepping in front of him.

"What?" Chouji asked. Shino looked at the ground, where a bug was crawling.

"Don't step on it." Shino commanded.

"Huh?" Chouji asked.

"I said, don't step on it." Shino said, standing up straight again.

"You're… gonna eat that?" Chouji asked, and I giggled. I already knew about Shino. Back at the academy, Jun had struggled to obey my rule of not eating Shino's bugs. Shino knew I would keep Jun under control. I didn't feel like having my owl dying from some parasitic bug of Shino's in revenge.

"Hey, you guys!" Came from our left. I looked up and saw a boy walking over. He had silver hair, had glasses, and wore a Konoha head band. I had never seen him before. "You should be a little quieter." The boy told us.

"You guys are the "Rookie twelve" fresh out of the academy, right? Carrying on with cute faces like that? Man." I felt myself blush as his gaze shifted over us. "This isn't a field trip." He told us. I frowned.

"Who're you? Acting all haughty!" Ino yelled out.

"I'm Yakushi Kabuto. Anyway, take a good look around you." We all looked around, but I just rolled my eyes. I already knew they were staring at us.

"Behind you, they're from the rain village. They're hot tempered. Everyone's tense before the exam. I thought I'd warn you guys before you get your butts whipped." He told us. I was cautious. Why was he helping us out?

"I guess it can't be helped." He sighed, and we all looked at him again. "You're rookies who don't know left from right." I got angry, but kept cool. Who does this guy think he is? He looks older than us, and he's not a chuunin yet. "You remind me of my old self." He told us.

"You're Kabuto, right?" Sakura asked.

"Yes." He told her.

"Then, this is your second time?" She asked him.

"No, it's my seventh." He told us, shaking his head. I was shocked. I knew it couldn't be his first time, but I had no idea it was his seventh. Why hadn't he quit yet?

"Huh?" Shikamaru asked, looking perplexed. I giggled. He looked kind of cute with that look, but I shook my head and looked at Kabuto again.

"The exam is held twice a year, so this is my fourth year." He explained.

"Then that means you know a lot about the exams?" I asked, stepping forward. I was curious if he could help us.

"Kind of." He told me.

"Kabuto, you're pretty awesome, huh?" Naruto said, looking excited.

"But you haven't passed." Shikamaru pointed out.

"Yeah, well, that is the cases, yes." He said nervously, scratching his head.

"Is the chuunin exam that high a hurdle?" Shikamaru asked, and then tsked. "Man this is utterly bothersome." I walked over and put my hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry Shika; I'm sure it'll be easy for you." I told him with a smile. A pale pink tinted his cheeks and he nodded while taking step back. I frowned, what was wrong? Oh, I bet he doesn't want to look bad in front of everyone.

"Then maybe I'll give a bit of information to my cute juniors." Kabuto said, while I rolled my eyes. Who was he calling cute? He pulled something out of his pocket, and I looked closer. They were cards.

"With these Ninja Info cards." He told us.

"Ninja Info cards?" Kaito asked, stepping a bit closer, with Roka following.

"To put it simply, they're cards that information burned into them and coded with chakra. I spent four whole years collecting information for this exam." He told us, kneeling down and placing the cards on the ground.

"There are close to two hundred of these cards." He told us, and I gasped. How did he get information like that? "They are pure white to the eye…" He flipped one over and it was blank. "To open the data on these cards…" He started spinning the card with one finger.

"What're you doing?" Roka asked quietly, watching curiously.

"The way it works is that no one can see the info, without using my chakra." He told us. "For example, like this." He held his left arm with his right, and a puff of smoke came from the card, while the card itself, which had been blank seconds ago, now had a picture on it.

"Whoa! Awesome, what information is this?" Sakura asked, peering at the card.

"It shows the number of genin participating, and the number that are coming from each nation." He explained. I got tired of listening to him, so I tuned him out. I focused the chakra into my eyes (1), and carefully examined the different genin in the room. They would not be easy opponents. Three of them caught my attention; they were all glaring at Kabuto. Had he said something they didn't like? I hadn't been paying attention, so I didn't know for sure. They wore Sound head bands, and seemed to be the only ones from their village.

All of a sudden, Naruto spun around ad started shouting at everyone in the room. I didn't take my eyes off the sound genin though. They looked nearly hostile.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto! I won't lose to any of you! Got it?" I focused chakra to my ears now; it looked like they were talking. I cocked my head a bit, and faced my right ear towards them.

"Did you hear that?" The one with the spiky thing on his back said quietly. "Sound village is a minor hidden village of a small nation. That's offensive." He quoted.

"Maybe I'll… play with them a bit." The girl said softly. My eyes widened and I frowned.

"Yes, being referred to as left over Shinobi and all. We'll add this to his data. That Sound Shinobi are brutal in their own way." The strange one agreed. Suddenly everyone was arguing and Sakura apologized for Naruto, but I kept my eyes and ear on those sound ninja's as my hand crept to my weapons pouch.

"So you heard it too, huh?" Jun hooted quietly from my shoulder. I gave a slight nod.

"Let's do it." The strange one ordered. My eyes flashed and I took up the ready position as my eyes followed their movements. They were quick, but I was faster. I ran in front of Kabuto, and deflected the kunai that the other guy on the sound's team threw. I caught the strange boy's arm in my hand and held my kunai at his throat, while Jun dug his talons into the guy's head.

"I was under the impression that the Chuunin exams were a gathering of peace among the nations." I said with a sickly sweet smile. Our faces were very close, but I wasn't scared. I didn't like Kabuto. But there was no need for fighting before it was needed.

He stepped back, and immediately Jun flew onto my shoulder while I put away my kunai. "We're sorry if we offended your village. The sound is a very respectable village, with many fine shinobi. I'm sorry." I told him, and bowed slightly. I was going to kill this Kabuto person.

"You're lucky it's against my policy to attack women." He snarled and walked off with his team. I wheeled around. I was so pissed I really wanted to kill someone.

"You knew they could hear you, didn't you? You're lucky I'm not going to do what he wanted to do right now. Sound attacks are deadly. Don't forget that." I ground out, glaring at him, and then stalked over to Roka and Kaito.

"H-how did you do that?" Ino asked me. I shrugged, and leaned against the wall. I looked at Kaito, he nodded.

I sighed and faced everyone. "My family trains birds. I train owls, so over the years they've taught me how to better my senses. I can concentrate Chakra into my eyes and ears, and my senses become just as good as an owl's. Just like Kiba does with smell. I think he can do it with his eyes and ears, I'm not sure. Owls have a very subdued sense of smell, since they don't use it while hunting." I explained, reaching up and sliding my hand over his feathers.

Kiba nodded. "Makes sense, even coming from a fowl girl." I rolled my eyes, but before I could retort, a ginormous puff of smoke came from the front of the room, and we all looked towards it. A man stood there.

"Silence! Degenerates!" There were also several of what seemed to be chuunin's there, behind him. He had several scars on his face, and he looked very intimidating. "Sorry to keep you waiting. I'm Morino Ibiki, the proctor for the first test of the chuunin exam."

"Now then, we will start the first test of the chuunin exam!" He told us. "Turn in your applications, and get one of these number cards in return." He held up a white card that had a one on it. "And sit in the seat matching that number! After that we will hand out the paper for the written test!" I felt Kaito tense beside me. He wasn't the best with tests. Roka and I would do fine, but Kaito on the other hand…

We turned in our applications, and got numbers. Mine was seventeen. Roka had thirty two, and Kaito had six. I sat at my seat, while Jun flew up and perched on the pipe above me. I could easily see Kaito, but Roka was behind me. Ibiki explained the rules, and I gasped when I heard that if even one team mate fails, we all fail.

"Start!" He yelled at us, and I flipped the paper over. I felt horror rise in me, when I realized that not even I could answer these questions. Well, a few yea, but not all of them. I looked up at Kaito. He had his hands in his hair, and I could tell he was despairing.

I shook my head. I would help him in a minute. I needed to do mine first. So I carefully answered the questions as best as I could, and looked around. I saw a girl farther down my aisle, writing quickly. She must know the answers. I got an idea, as I slowly tapped my pencil against the table. Jun perked up and listened.

I was using Morse code. He knew it, because I taught it to him in case of an emergency and he had to talk to someone that couldn't understand him. I could use it to communicate the answers to Kaito too, well. Jun would have to do that. Morse code had been a necessity to learn at the academy.

Jun gave an almost imperceptible hoot, and flitted over to right over the girl, and flitted back down on my shoulder. He softly hooted the answers, and I wrote them down until all of the boxes were full.

"Go use Morse code with Kaito." I told him quietly. He nodded, and stared at my paper, memorizing it. He flew over and perched on the beam above Kaito and started tapping messages to Kaito with his talons against the wood.

Kaito perked up, and listened, and soon started writing things down. Before long, he was finished, and I chanced a look back at Roka. He was finished too. I let out a sigh of relief as Jun flitted back.

"You there!" A woman stood up and pointed at me. Oh god, she knew I was cheating didn't she? Oh crap.

"Tell your pipsqueak (Jun squawked at this) to stop flying all over. It's a distraction to the other test takers!" I let out the breath I had been holding in, and smiled at her.

"Of course miss. He's just nervous to be around so many people." I gave her the excuse, and she nodded while sitting back down.

I looked at the clock, there was another five minutes before the final question was given. I put my head down, and Jun stood on the desk next to me.

"That Shikamaru boy is staring at you." Jun hooted quietly. I picked my head up, confused. Huh? Does he need help? No, that's absurd. He's brilliant. I mean, he's a genius. I turned my head, and saw him. He was staring at me. He flushed, and I raised an eyebrow at him, while smiling. He got that bored look again, and shrugged, leaning back in his seat. I giggled and turned back. He was just bored.

"Yosh!" Ibiki said from the front of the room. "Here is the tenth question! But before that, I'm going to add some rules to the last question." He told us, smirking. I gasped, exactly what other rules could he give us?

"Let me explain. These are the Hopeless Rules!" He announced. I rolled my eyes. He sure did have a flair for dramatics. "First, you have to decide if you want to take the last question. If you choose not to take it, you will have a zero. In other words, you fail! And of course, that goes for the other two in the group! One last rule. If you take it, and answer it incorrectly, then you will have to relinquish your right to take the chuunin exam forever." He finished.

I felt sick. I started to shake, and my eyes got big. I wasn't good with handling anxiety like this. If my father went on missions for too long, I usually had to stay home because I was literally worried sick. I stared at Ibiki, then at Kaito. He looked determined. I looked back at Roka. He looked confident, but a little nervous.

"What kind of ridiculous rule is that?" I heard Kiba shout from beside me. I looked over. He was a few seats down, and was standing up, pointing his finger at Ibiki.

"Besides, there are plenty of people here who have taken the exam many times!" Akamaru yipped in agreement. I couldn't help but smile. Leave it to the mutt to draw attention to himself. When Ibiki began to laugh, my nervousness returned.

"You're just unlucky. I make the rules this year. But I did give you the option to go back!" Kiba looked taken aback, but Ibiki continued. "For those of you who are not confident, you can choose not to take it, and take the exam next year, or the year after that." He started to laugh again.

I couldn't let my team down. We had come so far, trained to the extreme, gone on plenty of missions! I knew I was a good shinobi, but looking down at my paper, I knew I was not particularly smart.

I had had average grades back at the academy, and what if Jun couldn't help me on this one? Would Roka and Kaito forgive me if I got it wrong? Or if I turned back now? What would my dad say? That thought alone gave me courage. I would not fail my father. I stared determinedly at Ibiki, as if to tell him, I refuse to give up just because your words frighten me.

"Let's begin. Those of you who will not be taking it, raise your hands" Many people rose their hands out of fear, but plenty stayed. I could see all the rookies refused to leave, and I smiled when not even Hinata would give up. I gasped as Naruto raised his hand, only to slam it down.

"Don't underestimate me! I won't run! I'll take it! Even if I'm stuck being a genin forever, I will become a Hokage no matter what it takes! I'm not scared!" Naruto screamed, and I rolled my eyes. If an idiot like him can take it, so could I.

"I like your determination! So for those who are still here. The first exam, you have passed it!" He told us, smiling. I gasped, what?

"H-hey! What does that mean? All of a sudden you're telling us we passed. What about the tenth question?" Sakura shouted.

"There wasn't such a thing to start with! Well you can consider that decision just now your tenth question." He told us laughing. I felt angry. Really pissed off.

"Then what were those nine questions for? It was just a waste of time!" A girl way at the back asked. She was a sand ninja.

"Not a waste. The objective of the nine questions was already accomplished. To test your individual ability to gather information!" He told us.

"First, the focus of this test was on the system of determining the pass or failure based on the three-person groups that was proposed in the first rule." He went on and on, but I didn't pay attention. I was just happy I had passed. When Ibiki revealed his head though, I didn't listen to what he was saying. I felt sick again looking at the burn marks, scars, and I could even see nail punctures. What the hell? He's an interrogator! I had to look away, so I stared at my pencil. He then told us all about information gathering, which made sense as to why they made us cheat.

"I wish you well." He finished, and Naruto started screaming happily. I was happy that it was over, and I was ready to move on.

Something crashed into the window a second later though, and I jumped in surprise. A banner was put up and a woman stood in front of it. "You guys! This isn't the time to be celebrating! I'm the proctor for the second exam! Mitarashi Anko! Let's move onto the next stage! Next! Follow me!" She thrust her fist into the air. I was kind of scared from how she had screamed at us.

"Read the atmosphere." Ibiki said quietly, stepping out from behind the banner. They had a quiet discussion, and then she yelled at us to get information about the next exam from our Jounin. Then she dismissed us. I waited at the back for Kaito and Roka.

"Oh I was so anxious!" I told them, still feeling jumpy from the flurry of emotions. They smiled at me, and I pulled Roka in for a hug, and then tackled Kaito. Soon the room was almost empty, but I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned and scowled when I saw Kabuto.

"Forgive me, but I didn't have the chance to thank you for earlier, for your rescuing me." He said, and bowed. I nodded at him when he straightened up.

"There was no need for the fight. But be careful what you say when your around so many enemies next time." He nodded and smiled, and suddenly he held my hand, and bent to kiss it. I was amazed, confused, and pissed at the same time, but I had no idea which to express. I nearly gasped when I felt his lips press against the back of my hand. Did this guy really have a death wish? Unfortunately, I blushed despite myself. He let my hand go, and stepped back.

"I hope to see you around. I never caught your name, would you mind telling me it?" He asked, giving me a charming smile. I flushed, and tucked some hair behind my ear.

"Uh, I'm Tsukiko." I told him. He cocked his head.

"That's an interesting name." He commented. I nodded.

"I was born at night. My mother loved the night time. She trained nocturnal birds as well." I told him. He nodded and smiled again.

"I must be going; my team is waiting for me. Until tomorrow, Tsukiko." He walked off, leaving me very confused. There was something strange about that guy. I hadn't decided if that was bad or not yet.

I watched her join up with her team, as I waited for mine. I saw her hug her team mates when they got to her, while Ino ranted on and on about whatever. When I saw Kabuto approach her, I wondered what he wanted. He bowed and they talked for a moment, and I was about to turn around when I saw him grab her hand, and bent to kiss it. I was shocked. What the hell was he doing?

I felt angry too, but why? She's my friend, of course I'm going to feel a bit angry and protective when some guy comes and tries to make a move on her. I wasn't very angry though. I figured she would slap him and storm off. That's what Kiko does. But when I saw her blush and tuck a piece of hair behind her ear, the anger increased. They talked for a few minutes, before he walked off. I glanced over at Chouji and Ino, they were arguing about something or another, so I walked over to Tsukiko, where she was about to go back to her team mates, who had migrated to a corner, farther away.

"Yo, Kiko." I called out, putting on the bored look. She turned, and smiled when she saw me. I felt some of my anger diminish.

"Hey Shika! I bet the test was easy for you, wasn't it? How'd you feel about that trick last question?" She asked me, one of her hands twirling a piece of hair around her fingers. She liked to do that, I figured it was some sort of habit. I shrugged as I watched her twirl her hair.

Before she could say something else, I spoke. "So what did that Kabuto guy want just now?" I asked her, trying to sound like I really didn't care, but I got the feeling she knew I actually did. She smiled and shrugged.

"Wanted to say thank you for earlier. I don't know why he kissed my hand. I'm not sure if I want to kill him or go ask him why he did that." She told me, smiling, but she looked confused too.

"Maybe he likes you." I suggested, watching her closely for a reaction. I didn't see one, she just looked thoughtful. She giggled suddenly; I cocked an eyebrow at her.

"Even if he did, he's way too old. He's not that cute either. But his smarts impress me." She admitted, and I felt the anger dissipate at the assurance she didn't like him.

I'm smart. Is she impressed by me? I shook that out of my head. I nodded at her.

"Hey, since Chouji, yours, and my house are in the same direction, you guys wanna go get dinner?" She asked, giving me a hopeful expression. I gave a small smile, and nodded.

"Sounds good." I said simply. She giggled.

"What, no 'How troublesome'?" She asked, trying, yet failing to do an impression of me.

"You did it wrong. I'm much cooler when I say it." I told her, smirking. She shook her head, and smiled at me.

"That's probably true. I'll join you guys outside. Gotta say bye to my team." She told me, and I nodded, a little shocked. Had she just called me cool? I felt a faint blush rise up in my cheeks, as I walked over to Ino and Chouji, who were now yelling at each other.

"Chouji, wanna get dinner with me and Kiko?" I asked him. He turned and nodded happily. Ino pouted.

"Why don't I get to come?" She asked. I rolled my eyes.

"Your house is in the opposite direction." And no one likes your incessant whining. I kept the last part to myself though. She smirked.

"You just want Kiko all to yourself so you can tell her how much you love her. I can see that blush Shikamaru! Don't even try and lie!" She said, pointing at my cheeks. I rolled my eyes and tsked.

"How troublesome. It takes to much effort to 'love' anyone. She and I are friends. That's it." I told her. It was true. We were just friends.

Ino smirked. Me and Chouji left, but we both missed what she said.

"You'll see."

(1)- In the preliminaries Kurenai says that Kiba focuses his chakra in his nose to smell better, so I did the same for Kiko, except with Owl senses.

Alright! Give it up for your awesome writer, who watched the Naruto episodes again and copied practically word for word what each character said! Now if this doesn't earn me reviews then I have absolutely no idea what will! Sorry if it was a tad boring to read through the stuff you already know about, I tried to cut out the non-important stuff.

The next chapters will pretty much ignore the character dialogue, it'll just follow the actions.

Do not fear! Kabuto doesn't like her. He's just interested in her talent. But Shikamaru doesn't know that. And neither does Kiba. But we all know Kiba is a bit more rash. I wonder what he will do. *Smirks evilly* PLEASE REVIEW! *begs for feedback*
