I wasn't sure what happened while the teens waited for the five days to be up, so I thought what would most likely happen. Hope it's not wrong or anything XD Anyways, the fight scene is SUPER cheesey and I apologize for that! I'm pretty bad when it comes to those, you'll find out in the next chapter that that is verryyy true. I...LOL I'm really sorry that I completely blanked and didn't update until today. With work, that one party on Saturday, and well a new special person in my life it's sort of hard to keep track of this little baby. Remember that gay boy in my German class I mentioned? Turns out he's not as gay as I thought, and we're now sort of dating. Shit happens, ya know? Well here's the chapter, thing ish, hope it's not too horrible Talk to you Ubermorgen. (Also, I gave up on centering the page breaks, don't mind them at all please.)

"Three days and still no correct scroll." Yuichi is sulking against a tree, and Yoko is sitting, also resting after their battle with quite a 'spectacular' team. Ame had trotted off to go get some more water, so it left the twins alone for a while.
"At least you got to fight, idiot. I was impressed by their confidence, not so much when Ame took that guy's head off with one punch. Though I have to hand it to her, she didn't freak out as much as I thought she would. It was kind of cute when she said sorry to his dead body." Yoko snorts and Yuichi stares at his sister, wondering if it would be better to get a distance between the two.
"That's horrible." Yuichi says, plopping down on the ground. Yoko rolls her eyes, peering over at her brother.
"You didn't seem so hesitant to kill the other one you know. Popped his innards like a bubble didn't you?" she smiles fondly, remembering her given murder.
What a world we live in…we can kill others freely and not even be punished by it. Heck, it's encouraged that we shed blood.
Yoko's ears prick up and she grabs a kunai, eyes glancing to the bushes rustling. Ame returns with the three canisters full of water, and Yoko puts the knife back into her pouch.
"Next time, let's check their scrolls before we kill them." Ame sits down in front of the blonds, smiling lightly.
They talk about various things, enjoying the quiet time they have to settle down and rest. Night had started a while ago, almost right after their battle, so they were free to let their guard down a little. The trio rests for a few hours before waking up to birds chirping, and set off once again on a hunt for a scroll.
"It's the fourth day. If there is a lord, please let us have a scroll!" Yuichi raises his arms into the sky, jumping up on the branches to follow the girls.
o.O.o
It seems like they had been moving for hours on end before they encounter another team of three. They looked unprepared, tired and hungry. The three would have liked more of a challenge, but right now they'll take anything they get.
Ame pulls up a hand when they stop, shaking it at the wrist and making an 'OK' sign. Yoko stifles a laugh and follows Yuichi into the bushes, Ame taking a stance. She purposely misses her footing and lands in front of the group of three, coincidentally all male, and makes a small squeaking noise. Plan 14, set in action. Ame pulls up a confused looking face, holding her head and blinking once.
"Oh no…" she says, voice and expression completely out of character. They share glances and grin, taking the bait and sinisterly moving towards Ame.
"Please, don't hurt me, I'll do anything!" she says, scooting backwards on the ground. She stands up and holds her hands up in a weak defense, hoping to look weak. Murdering her pride, Ame catches a glimpse of their forehead plates.
Aha! Konoha nin? It's a wonder why they look so ill prepared, they're making our village look bad.
"Just play along nicely little girl, hand over your scroll and you won't get hurt." one of them speaks out, the group surrounding her. Ame forces herself to bring tears to her eyes, trembling slightly.
"N-no…please…" she whispers, bowing her head. Ame can't hold it anymore, she breaks out into a grin. Lifting her head again she locks her arms together, grabbing each forearm at the same time.
"I don't think so." she whispers, arms turning to stone in the blink of an eye. She punches the two in front of her dead on in the face, whipping around to grab the other. She holds each of his wrists and flips him around, pinning his arms behind him and pushing him to the ground. Placing a foot on the small of his back, she looks up to see the others groaning slightly.
"Oh pity to see you're still alive. Yoko, Yuichi, go." she watches as the two blonds rocket out of the bushes and take hold of the other two members. Ame holds the nin's arms in place with her foot, whipping out a kunai to cut him. Being in the forest, they had to play it safe, making sure they aren't clones or substitutions.
The boy shouts out in pain, the other two following suit. They don't change and she simply leaves the knife stuck into his arm.
"Scroll, please. I really don't want to kill another person in this exam, so I'll let you go if you comply. I won't hurt you." Ame smirks, knocking the man on his back and pushing her foot into his sternum. Fear is written all over his face, and he nods, eyes flitting to the man Yuichi is taking hold of.
"Yuichi, search him." Yoko calls out, making sure her foot doesn't slip. She keeps an eye on him at all times, only then letting her foot go when Yuichi calls out that he found the scroll.
"It's a heaven, jack pot!" he says, jumping up and down happily. They let the three nin go, quickly dispersing into the forest. Ame pockets the scroll and they go several meters away before stopping for a moment.
"Now the hard part; finding the damn tower. Yoko, climb this tree to see if you can find the tower." Yuichi says, waving his sister off towards a tree. She complies and quickly ascends up the thick tree until the two cannot see her anymore.
They wait a few minutes, delving into the pool of sweet, sweet victory. Yoko comes back with a disappointed expression, sighing.
"It's a long ways away, but I think we'll be able to get there by the end of the day." she says and Ame frowns, Yuichi taking a more physical route to expressing his feelings. He falls to the ground, groaning loudly and muttering curses to the sky.
"Come on you big baby." Yoko says, picking Yuichi up off the ground and in the direction towards the tower.
o.O.o
"That was easy." Ame says sarcastically once they part with Jiro, Yoko and Yuichi's sensei. He had mulled over a few basic things and told them to go to this particular room and go up the flight of stairs to meet with the other teams until the rest of the days are over. Happy to finally get to rest without waking up every few moments, they go up the stairs quickly.
"Oh sweet baby they have beds!" Yuichi cries out, jumping over and claiming an empty one. Ame laughs and scans the room, finding a lot of people she recognizes. She spots Kiba, with his hood down, talking to his team mates in a corner. Needless to say she goes over there quickly, coming from behind and slinging her arms around his neck.
"Hunny, I'm home." she says in a sing-song voice, and Kiba peers over his shoulder. That's a bit close…his lips are near my - Ame's thoughts are disrupted when she is tackled to the bed, her friend hugging her tightly.
"When you didn't come right after we got here, I was so floored! I thought you had died, cause everyone knows you would have gotten here before me!" Kiba yells out sarcastically, and Ame places her face in her hands, laughing.
"Let's just say we got side tracked a bit, and call it a tie. Now can you stop looking like you're going to rape me, really. It's not good for the virgin eyes of this room." she tries her hardest to hid her blush when Kiba hesitates. Knees on the sides of her hips, and his hands beside her head. They were close once more.
"Don't try to act like you don't' like it." he says teasingly, climbing off of Ame and sitting at the end of the bed. She sits up right and brushes her fingers through her hair, looking at Hinata.
"We haven't talked in a while. What's been going on in the world of Hinata lately?" Ame says, smiling at the blushing girl. Hinata nods, hands flying to fiddle with the hem of her jacket.
The four talk, Shino and Hinata soon becoming more used to seeing the pink haired girl around. They should have expected it, though, considering Kiba and Ame were so close in the academy. Akamaru jumps up and finds Ame's lap, and her hands immediately go to stroke the dog's fur.
"Kiba, why is he shaking?" she asks, already noticing something wrong with the pup. She looks down and Akamaru looks up at her, whining a bit.
"He's been like that since the first day, I've tried to cheer him up but nothing works." Kiba says, shrugging. Ame frowns, starting up the conversation again after a few moments of silence. They sit, talk, and congratulate Shikamaru and Choji when they appear. Ino had presumably been snagged by Yuichi once more. Ame spots Yoko reading across the room, and decides it's best to leave her alone, and She relaxes against the wall, finally cooling down after a long couple of days.
"Come on everyone, lights out in ten. One more day to go and then you will be reviewed with the Hokage!" Anko appears at the doorway, looking winded and possibly ill. Ame quirks a brow at this and snags the bed next to Kiba's, Hinata and Shino across from them in the middle column. Falling asleep, they all expected this to be the only people to advance to the next round. Little do they know, more will come, turning things interesting…
o.O.o
"Preliminary matches!" Some random kid shouts out, and the rest of the groups whisper amongst themselves. Ame peers around at the final groups of people; being in the front row hinders this discreet motion.
"All of the Kages will be attending the third exam, all are very important people. We want few examinees so the fights won't drag on. There are too many finalists, so we need to bring the number down to a more reasonable amount." the Hokage speaks to them, and Ame scowls.
We've come all this way just to find out we still might not make it. This is shit. Ame cracks her fingers, looking up at the Hokage.
"When?" A simple question, and the Hokage pauses effectively.
"Right now." Many gasps are heard, more intense whispering. "The names will be chosen randomly. Oh, I almost forgot, those who do not wish to continue due to fatigue may leave now." his eyes sweep the crowd of young people, curious to see who will leave.
Ame and the rest of the front row hear a surprised gasp, instantly turning around to see the same grey haired man from the first day raise his hand.
"I cannot continue." he says, and the Hokage nods him off. He talks to his team mates momentarily before leaving.
"Is that it? Anyone else?" he says, and Ame shakes her head. Anyone to leave now would be a fool.
"I will." Ame tenses up, slowly turning around to look at who just spoke up. She stares at Yoko, who is raising her hand, looking stoic.
"Go on." the third speaks once more, and Ame shivers in fear with seeing her friend leave. Yuichi glowers at her, catching her arm to speak to her.
"You're an idiot for leaving." Ame is sure most of the people around them heard Yuichi's ground out words. Yoko wrenches her arm out of his grasp and leaves without a word.
"We will begin the matches now. The first two contestants, please stay down here while everyone else leaves to go up on the balcony." Many of the Jonin leave to meet with their students, and they all wait to see the first two to fight.
"Sasuke Uchiha and Yoroi Akadō"
Everyone's eyes flit up to the large board blaring the names, then to the two. Sasuke looks smug, as well as the other person.
"Oh boy." Ame says, shaking her head. This will be interesting at least. Ame grabs Yuichi's forearm, tugging him towards the balcony. Ever since his sister left he had been quiet an unresponsive.
"I'll take him from here, thank you." she turns to see Jiro with a small smile on his face and she hesitantly nods, letting him talk to his student. Ame quickly finds Kenta conversing with Shikamaru's sensei and goes to stand next to him, ready for the fight.
Ame watches with slight interest, the others around her much more into it. She spots Yuichi on the other balcony, talking with Jiro heatedly. Shaking her head, she walks down the balcony once Sasuke is declared the winner and finds Kiba.
"Hey." she says, waving to Kiba. They share a smile and she leans against the railing, waiting for the next match to start.
"Who do you think you'll fight?" she asks, cocking her head to peer at his face. He had his eyes glued to the name board.
"Not sure, I hope I fight someone easy though." he says, and Ame laughs shortly at his answer.
"Of course, everyone wants to fight someone easy. But most of the people in here won't be so easy…actually, only a few would be, and your chances aren't so great." she says, smirking at the brunet.
"Like anyone could beat me." he says smugly, grinning at her. He stands up proudly, gripping the metal bars. "Let's make a bet. If I win my match, you have to do whatever I say. If it goes the other way, then I guess you can boss me around a bit." Kiba crosses his arms over his chest, Akamaru barking on his head. He turns to see it's Shino's turn to go up and fight, so he tells him a few words of advice.
"Luck, Shino." Ame smiles brightly at the teen and he simply nods back to her. "Does he ever talk?" she asks once he's gone, and Kiba nods.
"Once in a while….like, every blue moon." he smiles when Ame laughs, punching him weakly on the arm.
"I hope you know the bet goes for my fight too. So if you lose yours, and I win mine, that means double." she smirks when she sees Kiba completely ignore her, and peers down to watch Shino completely whoop sound nin ass. The battle is over quickly, and Ame congratulates Shino once he returns.
"Oh, what do we have here?" Kiba's voice is overly smug, and Ame looks to him questionably.
"What are you smirking about?" she asks, and he points to the name board. She peers up to find not only her name, but Yuichi's name as well.
"…Fuck."
