2) Photographs - Chunin Exams?
Tenshi Ayumi had just reported her 'helping mission' as she liked to call it. She walked through the streets of Konoha pondering on Team seven. It's been three days since she had last seen them. Somehow, they intrigued her. Her thoughts are then interrupted by the same loud voice she had encountered during her 'helping mission'. She smirked to herself, and decided to spy on the team.
To her surprise a sand nin was holding a little boy with a green scarf by the back of his shirt. The sand Nin had purple battle paint on his face and with a black hood on his head.
'Hah. This'll be interesting.' she mused in her mind.
"Put him down!" Naruto shouted. Sakura was behind the hyperactive boy, her eyes filled with worry. It seemed she had caused all of this. Ayumi's navy blue eyes scanned the area. A blonde girl with four ponytails stood behind her team-mate. Her dark forest green eyes watched her surroundings carefully as expecting something.
"Put him down Kankuro, or you know you'll pay for it later." She said, annoyed.
"We have a few minutes before he gets here." Kankuro, as she called him, smirked.
"Konohamaru!" The two kids next to Naruto cried.
"Whatever, I'm not responsible for this."The blonde sighed.
Ayumi noticed Sasuke just under the branch she was on. He was holding a small rock. She smirked slightly as he threw the rock at Kankuro's hand. His precise aim caused Kankuro to drop the kid, Konohamaru. He scrambled to his feet and hid behind Naruto.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura cried with joy. Even the blonde girl watched with awe.
"What are you doing here?" Sasuke asked.
"Another kid that pisses me off…" Kankuro mumbled.
"Get lost." He said, obviously aggravated, and jumped down. Ayumi looked over to the next tree and saw a red headed boy with the Kanji for "Ai" Love, on the side of his forehead. His eyes were teal. It seemed that no one other than Ayumi, herself had noticed the red headed boy.
"He's so cool!" Sakura and the little girl squealed, directing their attention at Sasuke.
"Nii-san, why aren't you cool like that?" Konohamaru sighed, and shook his head in disappointment.
"I could have beaten that guy!" Naruto lied/bragged.
"Liar!" Konohamaru accused.
Ayumi let out a small giggle, but then covered her mouth. Everyone below and the boy with the red hair looked at her.
"Ah~. My cover's blown. ~" . She giggled again and jumped down and leaned against the tree.
"Ayumi-chan!" Naruto yelled happily. Ayumi smiled at Team seven, and looked at the Sand Nins with interest.
"How many more leaf Nins are going to show up?" Kankuro yelled in annoyance. Ayumi giggled again, but said nothing.
"Well, aren't you going to help getting rid of them, with your awesome skills!" Naruto yelled enthusiastically.
"Aha~. This is none of my business. ~"
"Some Jonin you are!" He screamed. This caught the sand Nin's attention. The red head that was un-noticed, watched Ayumi with great interest.
"Aha, I won't step in unless necessary." She said, with a small smile. She closed her eyes and reopened them.
"Although, you Sand Nins should keep your hands to yourself until the Chunin Exams."
Kankuro 'tched' at her statement. She was right, and he knew it. He could easily get sent back to Suna for starting a fight in Konoha. He began to reach back and take a large something off his back.
"Oy, you're going to use Karasu?" asked the blonde, worried upon what's going to happen.
"I want to show this Jonin how we Sand Nin's fight." Before he got the chance to say more, the red head spoke.
"Kankuro stop."
'About time you did something.' Ayumi thought.
"G-Gaara…" Kankuro said, fear was definitely noticeable in his eyes. He paled, and his hands trembled.
"They started it, you see this is how it happened, -"
"Shut up."
The two Sand Nins froze.
"Or I'll kill you."
"Ah~. I was beginning to think you were a mute." Ayumi smirked. Gaara glared.
Team seven looked at her in confusion. They didn't notice Gaara standing upside down on the tree. "He was there the whole time, and he didn't say anything, so I thought he was a mute spectator, watching this scene for enjoyment, like I am." She explained.
"I wonder why they even let you be a Jonin…" Sakura muttered to herself. Ayumi seemed to have heard her, and glared at the pink headed girl. Sakura laughed nervously and hid behind Naruto.
Gaara's eyes shifted from Ayumi, then to Sasuke. His teal eyes pierced through Sasuke's own.
"Kankuro, did you forget why we came here?"
"I'm sorry, what I did was out of line." He murmured. Gaara then appeared next to Kankuro and the girl.
He turned his head and said to the group. "I'm sorry for the trouble they caused."
"Oh it's alright! It was interesting." Ayumi stretched out the word interesting and flashed a half smile.
"Oy! No one was talking to you!" Naruto yelled with an irk mark on the side of his head. Ayumi just stuck her tongue out and smiled playfully.
Team seven stared at Ayumi's playfulness. She wasn't this playful when they first met her.
"Let's go. We didn't come here to play games." Gaara stated in a dark voice, as he broke Team sevens thoughts.
"Hold on!" yelled Sakura. She ran in front of Naruto and the others. "I could tell by your headbands that you're from the Village of the Sand. And I understand the Village of Leaves and Sand are allies but ninjas must have permission to enter another's village. So state your purpose and it better be good!" she yelled. The blonde girl smirked and took out a passport of some kind with her name and picture on it.
"What are you? Been living under a rock? Of course we have permission. We are Genins from the Village Hidden in the Sand and we're here for the Chunin exams."
Naruto looked at them confused. "Chunin exams? What's that? I've never heard of any Chunin exams, believe it!"
"Naruto… You're completely clueless…" Ayumi shook her head and sighed. "And I had such high hopes for this group."
"Hey boss, "Konohamaru interrupted."Those are the exams that everyone's got to take to be a full on Chunin."
Naruto's face lit up. "Oh! Why didn't you say so? I'm definitely taking it!" The trio turned to leave again, but was stopped by Sasuke.
"Hey you there. Identify yourself." The blonde turned around and blushed. "Who me? I'm Temari!"
"No. Him, the one with the gourd on his back." He pointed straight towards Gaara, and glared.
"Sabaku no Gaara…" He said his voice voided from all emotions. He turned around and his teal eyes stared at Sasuke. "And I'm also curious about your name."
"Uchiha Sasuke." He said smugly.
"Also, you the girl with the black hair." Ayumi opened one eye and looked at Gaara.
"Aha~ so he asks for my name~." She smirked. "Tenshi Ayumi. Nice to meet you." She said politely. Then all was herd was silence.
"H-Hey… for every awkward silence, a gay baby is born." Ayumi said, with a smile.
Everyone looked at her with a sweat drop, with the exception of Gaara. Gaara was unfazed, but he looked at her with a slight amusement.
"Hey! I bet you're dying to know my name right?" Naruto smirked widely. Gaara narrowed his eyes to the hyper boy, and said bluntly.
"I could care less."
With that being said, Gaara and his team disappeared.
