Chapter 7
She opened the door to reveal her room. "Oh what the fuck!" She just went in without closing the door. She just then kicked her bed in frustration. "Shit, come on! Where's the fuckin exit!" She just then sat on the bed, clutching her head in anger. She started muttering a string of curses." You know if you turned left instead of right at the end of the hall you would've found the exit." Nozomi looked up to see….
-With Misa-
When her alarm clock went off she turned on the snooze button. 'Five more minutes please!' She thought. What she didn't know was that she accidentally turned her alarm clock off.
-1 hour later-
"That was a good night's sleep." Misa was stretching, and so was Marco. She looked to her clock, it should 7:15 in red neon lights. "Hmm… it's 7:15." She muttered. That was when it hit her, "Marco come on! We're supposed to be there at 7:25!!" She then rushed out of bed, making the blanket fall to the floor on top of Marco. Marco then looked out from under the blanket while tilting his head cutely, looking at the rushing Misa. Misa opened the door and looked back at Marco. "Come on boy! Before we're late!" Misa then ran out of the door with Marco on her tail. Since Misa had a sense of direction, she actually got to reach the pavilion, where she saw Ai and Nozomi waiting for her. When she got to them, Nozomi whacked her across the head, leaving a huge bump. "What the hell took you so long? Damnit we were almost late because of you!" Nozomi was way beyond pissed, "Lets just get inside and no one gets hurt. –Sigh-"
When they went in, they were already late. "What do you mean preliminaries?" said Shikamaru. 'Looks like the Hokage already got to the explaining.' "Misa, Ai, don't say a thing, got it?" whispered Nozomi. Misa nodded but Ai looked curious, "Why?" "Before we're being watched, and don't looked around." Nozomi warned. Ai nodded as they continued to walk. Since they were already late as is, they decided to go up in the balconies. While Misa and Nozomi were completely calm, Ai looked shocked as she listened to their conversation. "We're going to have Preliminaries! Wow." Misa looked to Nozomi, but she wasn't paying attention. She was looking at a certain red head.
-Flashback-
"You know if you turned left instead of right at the end of the hall, you would've found the exit." Nozomi looked up to see a red head holding a gourd on his back and somewhat resembled a panda with the black rings around his eyes. "Why would you care exactly?" The red head smirked, "Gaara's the name, and killing's my game. And I heard that killing is a sport to you too." Nozomi just looked bored. "…and your point?" "Well I just wanted to see how good you are in battle, see you around." He then left Nozomi at her own thoughts. 'Well, might as well just take his advice.' So he then got up and walked out the door. When she turned she found the way to the pavilion. 'We will see each other soon Gaara.'
-End of Flashback-
Nozomi was still thinking, until a man that looked deathly ill jumped in front of the Hokage. "If you don't mind Hokage-sama, I'll take it from here." It was then when he looked to the Genins (apart from Team Z) and said, "I am Hayate Gekko. I'll be your proctor for the preliminary rounds. In this part of the Chunnin Exams, your team needs a leader and a name." A burst of murmurs befell upon the Genins. Hayate then started coughing uncontrollability, which got everyone's attention. When everyone except for Hayate was quiet, he stopped coughing. He then continued, "When you have chosen your leader and name, please tell me so I can update it. Dismissed!" The teams scattered throughout the pavilion to talk amongst themselves.
"So who should be leader?" Ai asked. Misa said, between bites on poki, "That's easy. Nozomi should be." Ai thought to herself, 'When will she ever side with e? Oh well…' Ai poke up, "In honor of the new leader, I propose that our team should be named after her." Misa jumped up and said, "I'll go tell Hayate!" Nozomi and Ai sweat dropped as they watched Misa skip away to tell Hayate. "She will never change will she Nozomi?" "No, but I don't expect her to." Ai gave Nozomi a confused looked. "Misa is a happy soul, she is the heard and soul I this team really, I can never be her, but you can be her if you tried. But really, she's a great team mate as well as a friend. I wouldn't trade her for the world, none the less her personality. Our friendship is log and strong and always been."
What they didn't notice
was Misa; she had stopped on her way to Hayate when she heard Ai say
something about her. Of course, Misa expected Nozomi to say some
witty remark, but was surprised when Nozomi made her little
friendship speech, for Marco had stayed behind with Nozomi and Ai.
Misa started crying in happiness that she had a great friend. "Hey
are you okay?" Misa looked up to see Sasuke. Misa jus gigged and
just shaked her head. She then wiped her tears away and said, "I'm
fine, now I just need to talk to Hayate." She then finally
walked to Hayate. What clueless but yet sweet Misa didn't know was
that Sakura and Ino was fuming with jealously. "Sasuke-kun knew
us way loner then that Misa and he just asked her if she was okay?
But what about us?!
Ino said, grinding her teeth together. She
was standing with Sakura, because merely minutes earlier they were
fighting over Sasuke.
Hayate was sitting down with a clipboard in his hands, writing what the Genins told him. The line moved quickly, and it was Misa's turn. "Um okay…" She began. 'Oh boy…' Hayate thought. "We're um…currently called Team Z" – she was playing with one of her two pig tails- "and um our leader is um… Nozomi! Yeah it's Nozomi! So is um uh… our team name! Yeah! Team Nozomi!" Misa couldn't help but giggle as Hayate jotted down what Misa just said. He nodded and Misa headed back to Marco, Ai and Nozomi. Along the way she heard Naruto getting yelled at by Sakura, who was saying, "You might be leader, but there is no way we're going to be called 'Team Ramen Freaks!!!' "Misa naturally giggled, but this time she laughed, loud enough for all to hear."Aww man!" Nozomi moaned out loud, slapping her forehead.
Few hours later…
Kiba entered his parent's room, even though he was not allowed to. "Akamaru, I wonder why mom and dad wouldn't let us in here…" Kiba said, looking around the room. "Akamaru?" At that moment Akamaru came from under the bed dragging a photo album. "Huh?" Kiba picked it up and went to his room. He opened it and saw photos of him as a little boy, 'But who's this girl?' Every page he turned he saw a picture of himself and the girl –who was (most of the time) doing something wild. There was a particular photo that interested him the most. The same girl was laughing at him… because a bucket of water splashed him; it was the girl's laugh too, as if he could actually hear it. Actually, it was the eyes too. 'Why does she seem familiar??' Then he realized.
Flashback
Shino, Hinata, and Kiba were about to go send someone over when they heard, "You might be leader, but there is no way we're going to be called 'Team Ramen Freaks'!!" Kiba muttered in a sour tone, "Geez Sakura…" Then, out of no where, someone began to laugh, it was Misa, who was standing at the center of the pavilion, laughing. "Well…" Shino began. "Judging by everyone, they needed it, the laugh I mea." Kiba turned his gaze onto Misa.
End of Flashback
Kiba was stunned. 'Misa? Is she my sister? Why haven't my parents told me?' He was angry. "Kiba, dinner's ready." A voice said from the kitchen. Kiba headed to the kitchen with the album.
