If I Could...
The Silent Fight, The Arrivals, and The Confusion
Chapter 4
Exam room
Hikari looked out into the sea of people trying to find her team mates, frowning, she just started to walk to the back door.
"Hikari-kun what are you doing?" Tenten asked Hikari who was now turning every which way trying to remember where the back door to the class room was.
"Oh! Tenten-kun do you know where the back door is or where my team members are?" Hikari asked shifting the weight on her feet.
Tenten looked around and shook her head.
Hikari sighed, she was about to turn around and walk another way but saw her two team members talking to the others.
Hikari ran over there and slapped both boys in the face, making them in turn fall on their butts.
"What the heck you guys! We all agreed to meet at in the classroom in the front you bakas!" Hikari yelled at Takeshi and Hideki.
Hideki grabbed something out of his pocket and tossed it to over to Takeshi who in turned handed it over to Hikari.
Hikari caught the object and saw that it was a summoning scroll with a special seal on it. Hikari looked over at Hideki and made her confused face (Her confused face is where she tilts her head to the right and blinks her eyes).
Hideki face palmed himself and sighed and motioned with his hands to turn the scroll over. Hikari slowly turned the scroll over and gasped.
She then turned towards Shikamaru and hugged him tightly then what surprised them was after that she smacked him on the back of the head.
"Owwww! You troublesome woman what was that for?" Shikamaru yelled rubbing the back of his head.
Hikari laughed and stuck her tongue out. She then walked over to Takeshi and Hideki and helped them both up.
She then walked over to a corner with her team mates and started to talk with them about the exam.
"Ok you guys ready for the exam?" Hikari asked her two team members. They both nodded.
Takeshi noticed that Hikari was rubbing her arms back and forth, he cleared his throat and spoke, "Hikari are you cold?"
Hikari shook her head no and sighed.
"No its just that Im nerves and I tend to do this when Im nerves or something else. Anyway best of luck to each of us." She said while handing out these little charms to her team mates.
"Now be good and don't mess up. Oh and these are good luck charms I made last night, Im gonna give them to the others so I'll be back later." Hikari explained while walking towards the others.
When she got there she saw a white haired dude was talking to her friends. Her eyes detected something was off and walked over to the Kiba who was the furthest away from the man.
"Kiba pass these out to the others, okays? I gotta go to my team anyway these are luck charm I made a while ago. Take care and do your best!" Hikari yelled over to Kiba.
She then tossed the bag over to him and saw that he was giving them out. She then walked over to her own team mates who was now starting to look are their seats.
She took the piece of paper out of her pocket and saw the number 2 on it. Sighing to herself she walked over to seat number 2 and laid her head down waiting for the examiner to come in.
Little did she know that a few people were staring at her.
45 minutes later
Hikari woke up sensing that something was being thrown in her general direction. Using her other hand that was not her pillow she moved her paper over to the side and looked up.
The person next to her got up and left with his team members. Hikari looked around and saw that everyone was writing, but looking closer she saw that everyone was cheating some how.
Knowing what needed to be done she grabbed her pencil and placed the other hand on the desk. She then started to say a incantation that she made up. The hand holding the pencil started to write rapidly while the other looked like it was playing an invisible instrument.
Within 15 minutes she was done, laying her head back down on the table and large hand slammed into her desk making her sit straight up in her chair.
Looking up she saw Ibiki staring out into what was left of the genin.
After what she thought was a long boring speech Ibiki yelled out, "You all have passed the first part of the chunin exam."
Hikari looked over at her team mates and they both nodded. Not knowing what was happening she looked over towards Shino and mouthed 'explain to me later.'
Shino nodded his head slightly and turned back to Ibiki.
Just as Ibiki was about to say something a piece of cloth covered him and Anko stood there like it was her place to belong.
Anko saw Hikari and ran over there and started to hug her like no tomorrow.
Hikari made her confused face again and just sighed and stayed there while Anko explained the next task to them while hugging Hikari.
Hikari screamed as she felt Anko grab her and jump out of the building while still holding her.
"What was that about?" Naruto asked of Shikamaru.
Shikamaru shrugged his shoulders and said in a lazy voice, "Go ask Sasuke or one of her team mates Im sure they will know."
Naruto nodded his head and walked up to Sasuke who was starting to leave to the place Anko told them to be at.
"Neh Neh, Sasuke why would Anko-sensei take Hikari away like that?" Naruto yelled out to Sasuke who was about to leave with the Sand Siblings behind him.
Sasuke stopped like he was going to turn around but he just kept on walking away.
Naruto ran up to Sasuke and started to bother him some more.
Sakura sighed and motioned to Takeshi and Hideki who was also confused about what just happened to Hikari to follow her team. Nodding to each other they both got up and walked with team 7 to the place they were to take the second part of the exam.
Forest of Death entrance
Hikari sighed and pulled at her new shoes
"Don't pull on it Hikari-kun!" Anko yelled at her while waving her arms in the air.
Hikari pouted her lips at Anko who looked like she was doing to potty dance, cause she was moving side to side so fast.
Hikari then pulled her face together and said in a sweet babyish voice, "Pwease Ako-sweinse, I wat to pway with the wother kids."
Anko grabbed Hikari and twirled her around while jumping up and down screaming, "Awwwwww you're sooooooo cute! Of course you can!"
Hikari smiled and ran over to her other team members and friends.
While running over there she felt a presence watching her. Ignoring it for now she kept on running over to her friends and team members.
She stopped in front of the boys and stood next to Shikamaru.
Shikamaru knowing that the others haven't noticed her grabbed her hand and held it behind their backs.
Hikari smirked to herself and gripped onto his hand tighter. He did the same with her.
All of a sudden Hikari and Shikamaru letted go cause someone realized that Hikari was there.
"Hey Hikari-kun! Whats up?" Kiba asked her.
Hikari smiled, "Nothing much Kiba. Are you ready for the next test?"
Kiba laughed and nodded his head.
Hikari then walked over to Shino.
Knowing what she was about to ask for Shino explained to first part to her.
Hikari nodded her head understanding what he meant.
The group then started to walk off into different directions with their own teams.
Hikari walked over to Hideki and Takeshi.
After a few minutes Anko explained what must happen and what the rules are.
Hikari looked over at Sasuke and saw that he had an indifferent face on.
Sighing to her self Hikari signed the paper and walked over to her team mates who were now walking to the tent to get your scroll and to turn in your form.
"You remember the plan?" Hideki asked of his other two team members.
Nodded to both of them they handed their forms to a chunin and grabbed the scroll they were handed.
Hideki made it look like he handed it to Takeshi out in the opening but he was handing over a fake one Hikari made in the bathroom while she held onto the real one.
As the three team members of Kenta walked over to their gates. Hikari felt again that someone was staring at her yet again. Hikari ran up to Hideki and Takeshi. Once they were they she pulled them away from the examiner and motioned them to lean in closely.
She took a deep breath and whispered into their ears as quietly as she could;
"We're changing the plan instead of sticking together we're going to split up and meet in the center of the tower. Try to do this as soon as you can and one of us needs to get the Scroll of Heaven. You also remember the technique that I taught you two, about finding someone with your chakra, right?"
Hideki nodded his head as did Takeshi saying that they knew what to do.
Hideki closed his eyes and grabbed Hikari's arm and pulled her close to him.
"You felt it to didn't you?" Hideki whispered into Hikari's ear.
Hikari nodded.
Hideki walked over to Takeshi and said the same thing, he to nodded his head in agreement.
"Hey you kids get ready its about to start!" The gate opener yelled over to the three genin.
They all got into their positions.
"1, 2, 3, Let the second exam begin!" All of the examiners yelled at the same time while opening the gates.
Hikari took off into a different direction as did Takeshi and Hideki.
Hikari was running to the right of the gate while Takeshi ran towards the middle and Hideki ran to the left of the gate.
While running to the right of the gate Hikari thought about Sasuke and what made him so angry at her when she is only doing the one thing that she truly wanted to do.
2 days later
Hikari stopped from running again and looked over to her right and then left. She then did a few hand signs and placed her hand on the ground. A purplish dim light shotted out of her hand on the ground and started to move rapidly towards a familiar chakra. She stopped the chakra once she felt that he knew was connected.
'Hideki, did you get the scroll yet?' Hikari asked in her mind.
'No, but I think Takeshi did. I'll try to reach him later. I think someone is watching me. Later' Hideki thought and then the connection was off.
Hikari sighed to herself and looked up into the sky.
She then looked to her right and left and started to walk in her own foot prints that was behind her and took off again running in a different direction.
She knew it was use less to tell her team mates that she was being followed to but she was now regretting her choice. The person that was following her was good. A little to good to be a genin or even a chunin, but she knew that if she stopped she would most likely die. So she continued to run.
After for what felt like days she stopped near a clearing and looked around her. Standing her ground she blocked over 5 attacks.
"Hmm now that is what I call a good stance." A voice said.
Feeling a bit mad Hikari yelled, "come out you coward! What do you want with me and my team members?"
Looking over to her right she saw the white haired boy come out holding a needle in his hand.
Hikari felt the color drain from her face.
"What is your name?" Hikari screamed at him.
The white hair boy stopped with a surprise look on his face but bowed down and rose back up.
The white hair boy smirked and yelled, "My name is Kabuto, my dear and my master wishes to have you."
With that said Kabuto leapt at her with the needle in his hand.
Hikari dogged him the best she could, but she could feel that the needle was striking her skin, even if it was a bit. She could feel the liquid that was inside start to make her body feel heavy and weak and she could tell that her chakra was not working correctly.
Fearing the worst she jumped high up into the air and made it look like she didn't know that she was going to fall into a lake that was 200,000 feet bellow her.
Kabuto stopped once he could no longer see her.
Smiling to himself he walked away putting the needle in his pocket.
Her eyes squeezed shut and breath held in, Hikari hoped that her plan would work. She could feel the force of the earth pulling at her, commanding her to come back to the earth.
Please write a review of this story!
Well anyway that's about it so here are some important details about the story:
time setting when they get their teams and the chunin exams are coming up soon
Hikari is a tomboy, so she acts, talks, and dresses like a boy for the most part which is why almost everyone says kun at the end of her name instead of chan minus her teacher Kenta.
The meaning of the Title:
The silent fight refers to how the boys are competing for Hikari's affection
The arrivals refers to the new people in the chunin exam that Hikari will meet
The confusion refers to how Hikari feels inside herself cause she doesn't know what to do about Sasuke
Song picked:
"La divina tradedia - Makyoku" by ?, the ending song to Umineko no Naku Koro ni
Remember all rights belongs to the person who made Naruto I only own Hikari and the rest of the OCs that will appear later on.
