A/N: Looky! Gai's there! *points*
Kagome stretched and blinked as Naruto came flying into the arena. She couldn't hear what was being said, but it looked like a few of them were missing. Sasuke Uchiha and one of the others. Kagome shrugged, not entirely caring.
Kagome stood as those in the arena looked up at the audience. "Koi-sama!" She yelled, waving. She blushed as he looked straight at her for a moment.
"Ah! Such passion! You are surely good for him, Kagome-chan!" Gai said, placing a hand on her head. She blushed.
"I hope so..." She looked up at him, tearing her eyes from Neji's. "I really want to make him happy...as his wife."
Gai became excited, hugging Kagome to his chest and going on about her youthfulness, but Tenten couldn't help but glare at her.
How dare she assume she'll be his wife? She's just like the other girl, I'll be chosen because I stand out among them. I'm sure Neji will make the right choice, after all, it's not like I'd bring the family dishonor. Kagome and that other girl are too clingy and affectionate in public.
"Everyone, thank you very much for coming to the Village Hidden in the Leaves Chunin Exam." The Hokage's voice quieted the crowd and everyone turned their eyes to him. "We will now begin the 'final round' matches for the eight who made it through the preliminaries!"
"Sasuke's not there." Kagome murmured, and Tenten blinked at her. Slowly, she smiled.
"Does it disappoint you?" She asked and Kagome shrugged.
"He's disappointed me all my life, I don't expect him to stop now." Kagome said and Tenten fought to keep her smile. It would take some work, but she was sure Kagome could fall in love with the Uchiha boy rather than Neji Hyuuga.
"Please watch until the end!" The Hokage finished and Kagome grinned, then, after a moment, the grin faded. There was something...wrong with the red headed boy from Suna.
