Chapter Twenty-Seven

Team Seven was making their way to the room where they would be taking their exams after having revealed to the other Chunnin that the room they were trying to enter was not the right room, but was just an illusion. The exams hadn't even officially started and they had already met some interesting people. Among the most intriguing were Gaara of the sand, whom they had met in the village along with his teammates and Neji Hyuga who possessed the Byakugan. Rei could tell that Sasuke was looking forward to the exams and the chance to fight with the strongest Gennin. She smiled as she watched him smirking.

As they made their way to the exam room they ran into another interesting person, Rock Lee. Rei had met him already, btu she didn't know anything other than his name. He challenged Sasuke to a fight and although Rei knew that Sasuke was strong there was something about Lee that told her he shouldn't be underestimated. As Sasuke took a step forward towards Lee Rei grabbed his arm. He stopped and looked back at her.

"What's wrong?"

"Sasuke, be careful with this guy. I know he seems weak, but there's something about him that's not right."

Sasuke glanced at Lee and then looked back at Rei. He smirked.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of him."

Rei sighed.

"Fine, just don't get too cocky you arrogant jerk."

Sasuke was about to fight Lee when Naruto intervened. Apparently, Naruto was tired of everyone wanting to fight Sasuke instead of him and so he charged at Lee who easily defeated him. Rei was surprised to see how easily Naruto had been defeated. She looked over at Sasuke and saw him getting ready to fight. She sighed and he glanced at her. He smirked and she just frowned. She knew he was trying to tell her to stop worrying, but after seeing Lee defeat Naruto she wasn't sure the fight would be so easy for Sasuke. Sakura, on the other hand seemed to think that Sasuke was unbeatable. Rei frowned at her as she cheered for him yet again. Now she knew why Sasuke was so annoyed by her. She looked back to the fight and was surprised to see Sasuke getting hit. It wasn't the fact that he was hit that surprised her, but the fact that it had looked like he had managed to block the hit. Sasuke stood up slowly and Rei noticed that his eyes had changed. She realized that he had activated his sharingan.

'When did he learn to do that?' She thought.

She watched as he charged at Lee and although she was suddenly more confident in his ability to win she noticed that Lee didn't seem alarmed. She realized why as Sasuke was sent flying into the air by a powerful kick from Lee. Lee managed to get beneath him while he was still in the air and was about to attack when he was stopped. She didn't look to see who had stopped him as she jumped up to help Sasuke. She managed to help him land safely.

"Are you alright?"

As she looked at him she noticed that he was slightly trembling. She frowned and looked at who had stopped Lee. She was surprised to see a giant turtle yelling at Lee. A moment later a strange man with an uncanny resemblance to Lee appeared. He turned out to be Lee's master. After many agonizingly awkward minutes in which Lee and his teacher cried and hugged they found out about Gai-sensei's acquaintance to Kakashi. Rei was only too glad to see the strange duo leave although she had to admit, they were pretty funny.

She turned to Sasuke and frowned. She knew he was still upset about the result of the fight. She was about to say something when Naruto told him how useless his sharingan was and how his clan wasn't that great. Sasuek looked like he wanted to murder Naruto and Rei was getting ready to break up a fight when Naruto pointed something out.

"You saw his hands right? He probably trains harder than you."

Rei watched as Sasuke shook with anger and then relaxed suddenly.

"Looks like things are finally starting to get interesting." He said as he smirked.

"Let's go."

Soon they arrived at the exam room. When they got there they net Kakashi outside and after a few encouraging (at least for him) words they entered the room. A few seconds after they entered Rei saw Sasuke stumble next to her and heard a loud and irritatingly shrill voice. She looked at Sasuka and it took all of her self control to keep herself from laughing. Ino had managed to catch Sasuke off guard and had glomped/attacked him. She watched as Ino and Sakura began to argue and smirked at the pleading look she got from Sasuke. She sighed and walked over to him as he struggled to get free from Ino's grasp. As she watched with amusement as Sasuke managed to get free she wondered if Ino knew about her and Sasuke. Unfortunately, her question was promptly answered as Sasuke pulled her to him and placed her arm around his. She sweatdropped, but held onto his arm although not as tightly as Ino had.

"What am I, your fangirl repellent?" She whispered to him.

"Yeah, at least for now."

Ino turned to Sasuke when she noticed that she no longer had him in her death grip and scowled when she saw Rei holding onto Sasuke, who was doing his best to act casual as he dug his hands in his pocket and looked away. Rei watched with nothing short of interest as Ino's personality quickly changed for the worst.

"Hey, get away from my Sasuke!"

Rei was about to respond when, to her surprise, Sakura answered for her.

"Ino, she's going out with Sasuke."

Rei couldn't help but notice the hint of sadness in her voice when she said that. Ino looked like she had been slapped and glared at Rei before looking back at Sakura.

"Sakura, stop lying, like Sasuke would ever go out with such an ugly girl!"

Rei's eye twitched and Sasuke turned to her as he felt her grip on his arm tighten painfully. He gulped as he saw the look of anger in her eyes. Although Ino was annoying he couldn't help but feel sorry for her as he knew that she would soon face the wrath of Rei. Rei let go of Sasuke and glared at Ino.

"What did you say you mindless fangirl?"

Ino growled.

"I was just pointing out how unsightly you are. I really doubt that Sasuke would go out with someone like you."

Ino smirked wickedly and Rei had to grit her teeth so she wouldn't kill her right there. Sasuke walked up to her.

"Rei, don't waste time."

"Stay out of this." She snapped.

Naruto snickered and Sasuke glared at him. Rei turned back to Ino.

"If I'm ugly then what does that make you?"

Ino growled at Rei as she grinned.

"Shut up! You're just jealous because you're a weak little girl that no boy will ever want."

"I suggest you shut your oversized mouth before this weak little girl shuts it for you for good. Besides, at least I don't throw myself at anything that is of a different gender."

"At least I'm not fat!"

"At least I'm not flat!"

At this comment Sasuke blushed a deep shade of scarlet and Naruto burst out laughing. Hell, even Sakura grinned. Ino looked absolutely furious. She swung at Rei, who just dodged causing Ino to stumble forward clumsily.

"Ha! And you say I'm weak." Rei sneered.

"What's going on Ino?"

They turned around and saw two boys walking towards them. Rei assumed they were Ino's teammates. One was thin and had a ponytail while the other was fat and was munching on a bag of chips. The thin one, who she later found out was named Shikamaru looked around and frowned when she saw Rei.

"Don't tell me you were arguing over Sasuke again." He said lazily.

"Shut up, Shikamaru."

"Ino, stop making enemies, we haven't even started the exams."

Ino growled and glared at Rei who smirked and stuck out her tongue.

"See, not even your teammates like you because you're mean and obnoxious."

Sasuke sighed. He was glad the fight between the two girls was over although it had proved to be entertaining and he had enjoyed watching Rei insult Ino. Still, he felt a little embarrassed for letting her defend him even though he knew she was just defending herself.

Soon, the other rookies had gathered around them and Rei met all of them for the first time. They also met Kabuto who was from Konoha although no one else knew him. He had taken the exam various times and had gathered useful information about the other participants. When he said that he didn't know much about the sound village the shinobi from said village were angered and attacked Kabuto. Strangely enough they managed to injure him although he was not hit. Before anything else could happen the proctor of the first exam arrived and revealed the horrible truth of the first exam. It was a written test.
