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.

├Part Nineteen┤

I sat there thinking about what that guy had said. So he said he knew my mother…which would obviously mean that he knew the attacks of my family especially when he was so certain after seeing my face.

This was bad, I could feel it. Konoha and all the Hokage's tried to keep it from coming out and look, now some stranger knows about it.

The weird thing was that he didn't kill me even though I saw what he had done. He just told me I could go with 'him' and I have no idea who he was talking about.

Suddenly a large…thing came flying past me. My eyes were wide as I stared straight in front of me. I hadn't expected that.

Well the thing or person, whichever it was, flew in the window of the examination room. I crawled out on the branch to look in. I could faintly see this lady with dark hair having pinned up a banner of some sort.

All the people in there were sort of staring at her as she made her loud introduction.

I sat there waiting for what seemed like eternity before I finally saw them leave the room. Another couple agonizing minutes passed and I saw people walking out of the building. Slowly more and more came out.

Finally!

"That was so awesome!" Naruto shouted.

I made my way to climb out of the tree but a branch broke under my foot and I went tumbling downwards…to crash into someone.

"I'm so sorry!" I exclaimed as I got off the person. That person turned out to be some guy wearing a black outfit and a hood that sort of resembled a…cat…

"It's alright," he said while putting a hand to his head, "Just hope you didn't break him." Then he took this thing off his back that was wrapped tightly in what looked like bandages. It looked like a mummy.

"Ohhh…" I said and my eyes widened, "Did I?"

He was examining it oddly for he didn't unwrap it. Then he looked up and smiled, "Nope! No damage done," he said.

I sighed in relief, "Well that's good. You in the Chuunin exams?" I asked.

"Yeah and you?" he asked.

"Nah I can't," I said and rolled my eyes, "Well I'll see you around!"

"Yeah bye!" he said and waved.

"Kankuro," came a strangely familiar voice, "Let's go. Now."

I turned my head a bit to see the boy with black rimmed eyes and that red hair with the gourd on his back. THAT boy.

My eyes widened as I hurried to catch up with Naruto and everyone. I had this creepy feeling he was staring at me as I ran.

"Way to go, Mitsuki," Sasuke said while smirking, "Can you be any clumsier?"

"Shut it, Sasuke," I said not even realizing that I hadn't used his last name, something I would have normally done if he used mine or in this sort of situation.

He looked curious but actually shut up. IT'S A MIRACLE!! The Uchiha boy actually didn't say something else to get me ticked off.

Naruto was talking animatedly while I was thinking. I'd smile and nod my head at times but my mind was really somewhere else.

I couldn't help but think of my mother. I can't remember my father very much because he was mostly gone all the time. Then he just didn't come back.

The Chuunin exams went by so slow, it nearly killed me out of boredom. I was allowed to watch the preliminaries and then the Finals.

Then there was the whole thing about this 'Orochimaru' person coming and disrupting it all. I didn't know why but something about him felt familiar.

Something was different about Sasuke afterwards though. I didn't know what and Sakura wouldn't tell me anything. Naruto could see it too but he was as clueless as me. He said he remembered seeing something on Sasuke's neck before but Sakura just brushed that off saying she didn't see a thing.

So here we were now, the Hokage and the Orochimaru person locked away on a rooftop with a strange see-through box thing around it. Nobody could do a thing.

That's when ninjas started attacking and putting a sort of sleeping jutsu on us. I remembered waking up to Kakashi and Sakura. He summoned a small dog and told us to go after someone. I 

couldn't exactly remember at the moment because I was trying to remember what was happening and what had happened before I got knocked out.

Well we found Shikamaru, who had been awake the WHOLE TIME that lazy son-of-a- anyways, moving on. Then there was the fight against Gaara…Shika had stayed behind to distract some ninjas.

Yeah then, I don't know how, but I got knocked unconscious where I woke up in the hospital.

Only a couple of words could describe all of it.

This sucked.
