I refuse to put a disclaimer here cause everyone should be bright enough to know that I don't own Naruto. I'm pretty sure that's why this is called FANfiction.

"Why not?"

"Because."

"That's not the answer I want to hear. That's not even an answer!" I argued.

Kakashi sighed, "Fine, it's because you don't have your own team. We can't put you in just one because then it would be four and unfair to others. Happy now?" he asked.

I glared, "No not really," I said, "I'd rather compete then lay around doing nothing."

"I'd lend you my book but I don't think you'd feel any better," he said while smiling.

My eyes widened, "Oh God no!" I said, "I'm fine without, thanks."

"Thought so," he said.

It was silent for a moment, "So everyone's going to compete?" I asked.

"Yeah," he said, "You've got to have all three teammates to be able to enter…you don't have a team at all and so you can't enter. Seems fair, no?"

"Not really," I huffed with my arms crossed. I wasn't allowed to compete in the Chuunin exams and so I was going to be super bored and all alone.

"Well don't forget to wish them good luck," Kakashi said, "I've got to help with extra training before the exams start."

"Bye then," I muttered while still glaring at him.

"Oh come on," he said, "Cheer up. Go…make friends or something…"

I laughed outright at that one, "Yeah sure, you should know me by now," I said, "Make friends…"

"Or you could come watch them train," he said thoughtfully, "Just so long as you don't distract them."

I grinned under my mask, "Oh I wouldn't think of doing that at all!" I said and got up. I followed him to the training grounds.

Actually, the thought of what kind of book Kakashi read made me somewhat interested. I sorta wanted to know why he read them so much. Naruto said they were perverted but you never know with Naruto…if he said that, wouldn't it mean he read them?

Ok that would be pretty disturbing if he did…

"Hey Miya!!" Naruto shouted while waving his entire arm. He was only a short distance away too…

"Hey," I said while smiling at him. Sasuke and Sakura were there too. Sakura looked nervous while Sasuke was kind of glaring at me. Which was weird. He didn't kind of glared at a person. He would fully glare at a person.

Stupid idiot…

"We're training for the Chuunin exams!" Naruto said even though it was a bit obvious since the entire village was talking about it.

I laughed quietly, "Yeah I can see that!" I said and sat down on a log.

"Why don't you train for it too?" Naruto asked. He really did like to talk…

I gave a quick glare Kakashi's glare and said, "Because I'm not allowed to enter. I have to have my own team and since I don't, I don't get to compete."

Sasuke's half glare turned into a smirk.

"I've been meaning to ask you about that," Naruto said thoughtfully, "Why don't you have your own team?"

I was quiet for a moment, feeling all eyes on me, "I don't know all of it myself really," I said.

Then there was an awkward silence.

"Ok everyone! Time to train!" Kakashi said suddenly, shattering it.

Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke went out to the field and they fought against each other. They would throw weapons at each other and evade attacks.

I watched them go at each other in amusement. Sakura wouldn't want to hit Sasuke so she would hit Naruto.

Naruto, on the other hand, didn't want to hit Sakura so tried to evade her attacks while attacking Sasuke.

And, of course, Sasuke was just doing his part by attacking both and evading any attack made to him.

"Hey Kakashi," I said. My head was resting in my hand and my arm was propped up on my knee. I smiled slightly.

"Hmm?" he asked and turned to me.

"What sort of books do you read?" I asked him and turned to face him.

His eyes widened and he looked back to the book he had out and had been reading previously.

"Uhhh," he said, "I think you have more maturity than Naruto so I'll give you the first book to read tomorrow when everyone's at the Chuunin exams."

I nodded, "Ok then. I'll be able to test Naruto's theory tomorrow…" I said.

"Theory?" Kakashi asked.

"Uh oh never mind," I said and laughed nervously, turning my gaze to the three ninja's fighting each other.
