Wind and Sand: Journal of Lord and Lady Kazekage

Karura diary entry #6: Jounin exams and a deal made in Hell…with the Devil himself.

I know Mr. fairy has been following me. Damn playboy keeps asking me out even though I threatened to chop off his manhood and feed it to the dogs. But the past couple of weeks he never once approached me. He would keep a safe distance away from me and-what I seem to think- observing me. I would keep sending glares at him and he would be smirking at me. Ooh, it's on now. Stalker. Oh! Another nickname!

Anyways, so I went up to him and I asked him why the hell he was following me, and he snuffed me by walking past me, LAUGHING! I don't know what he is up too, but I can bet it's not good. That stupid smug look on his face looked like he won something. Granted it looked good on him…but still, whatever he's up to, I bet he's going to ask me out again. Well if he does, I'll knee him in the groin. Yup, that'll teach him. Bwahaha!

I haven't really seen him for two weeks now. Maybe he backed off…or maybe it's because the jounin exams are coming up. Most of the Jounins we have are busy setting up the exams. I know because my best friend Reiko is a jounin. She says that the exams are rough, but it shouldn't be too hard to pass…as long as you pass the written exam with at least a 90% (Half the class will pass), Avoid ANBU for five days (Again, half will make it) and the third test is to fight the Kazekage. (Very slim chance)

Those exams are coming up. I'm actually quite nervous. You may not believe me, but I don't know if I may pass it or not. I'm quite confident in my abilities to pass the written exam. Avoiding the ANBU on the other hand may be a bit tricky, but I know the dunes better than anyone. Those who pass the first two tests will go against the Kazekage. I keep shuddering every time I think about it, but it seems like the last test has changed. When I asked one of the people who was in charge of the exam he just said that the third test is a secret.

Why would the third test be a secret? So we won't be facing the Kazekage? That's weird. I guess I should be relieved, I mean, Sandaime Kazekage is pretty strong. So why would he NOT be the third test then? I guess I'll find out. Who knows, maybe he decided not to be the third test anymore.

Karura's heart was pounding like horses running across the desert sands. She just trained her butt off at a new training ground. Her muscles protested at the prolonged use of jutsus that she has been using with her fan -and with the sun beating down on her it's a wonder how she is not suffering from heatstroke- Not only that, the pleasure of succeeding in those jutsus rushed through her body like none other. It was a high that she loved to feel over an over again. It was like she was the only one in the world that could get to a high like that. She chuckled at herself.

Her mother would tell her, 'I wish I was more like you Karu-chan, when I was your age. I'd give anything to have that chance again.' Her mother was proud of the fact that her children were ninja.

Karura loved her mom. She felt like she can talk to her about anything. When she told her about the highs she would get from using her jutsus and having the rush of chakra spike through her body at different times, she wanted to moan in the pleasure of it all.

Her mother would tell her, "That is an all natural high for you Karura. Then again, I remember that when you took that doctor's test for you to be a ninja, he said that your chakra would spike through out your life. I think it affects you more than some people." Karura nodded to herself at her mother's words.

She sat down in by a training post, panting and smiling at her performance. The rush of her chakra was now slowing down and she wanted to get that high again, but she decided against it when her brother told her not to over do it. She could curb her 'addiction' in a sense for a while. She was enjoying the slow down rush in her body, having the sun's ray beat on her and she was just about to doze of into her dreamland when a shadow went overcast on her.

At first she thought it was a cloud, it was rare from time to time when a cloud would come over Suna, usually it meant rain was coming, but it appeared that it wasn't the case.

"Hey Sand Cat. I've got a bone to pick with you." An oh-so-familiar voice said to her.

She peaked through her eyes and saw Hikaru Sabuku. He was in the way of her sun; it made him look like a smirking angel of punishment. She frowned.

"You are in my sun. Move before I beat your ass to the ground, Fairy." She said as she balled her hand into a fist. Hikaru chuckled. It was a chuckle that said, 'How cute, now listen to me.'

She did not like that one bit. Not one bit at all.

"What do you want, Stalker?" She sneered.

Hikaru apparently decided to sit next to her and place his arm over her shoulders. She wanted to high five him, in the face, with a chair.

"Oh that hurts, listen Sand Cat, I've got a deal to propose to you and I was hoping you take it." He said moving close to her ear.

She froze at the word 'deal'. To her, it was a challenge…and she liked challenges, very much so. She eyed him suspiciously.

"What sort of deal, Sabuku?" She said with a lying undertone of excitement. Any deal or bet immediately sent her pulse racing.

He smiled. He smiled in such a way that she wanted to smack him with her fan and send him flying.

"The Jounin exams are coming up, and I heard that you will be entering." He stated. She glared at him.

"Are you gonna get to the point or do I have to beat it out of you?" She said with venom. Hikaru looked at her smirking.

"Keep that sharp tongue on hold, will you? Anyways, I'm sure you have heard that the third test of the exam was changed up." He said as he stood up and took a few steps foreword.

She looked at him distrustfully. "Yeah, so what of it? I've been hearing rumors that the third test has been canceled. It was said that the Kazekage decided to make it another written test." She said in a matter-of-factly.

Hikaru chuckled. It was then that shivers went down her spine. This was not good.

"Actually, it's true that he won't be the third test. Only because I asked to take his place." He said smiling. Karura's eyes widened. "

Oh hell. You have got to be kidding me!" She screamed in her mind.

"You? THE THIRD TEST!" She shouted, and then she laughed.

She laughed and laughed. The reason why she was laughing was that inside, she was actually quite scared, but she will never admit to it. Never. She stopped laughing and wiped tears away from her eyes.

"Okay Sabuku, you managed to get a laugh out of me. I could have sworn that you said you were to be the third test. Are you saying that we have to fight you? Ha! I could beat you to the ground in 2 minutes." She said as she got up. She felt the air around her chill a little bit. She looked up and saw that Hikaru had a serious expression on his face.

That look alone made her stop breathing for a minute. He was standing tall-and damn was he tall! About 5'9 last she checked- and it was like his presence demanded to be noticed.

It was then that she noticed, "He actually looks good when he doesn't have fan girls hanging over him." She wanted to smack herself.

Did she just really think that? Bad Girl! She didn't notice that Hikaru moved closer to her.

"Here's my deal Karura. The third test is to go against me. If you win, I will leave you alone. I'll even run the other way if I even catch a glimpse of you." He said with a dead serious tone. But then he smirked. "But if I win…" He said, as he got closer to her.

She was frozen. Her heart was beating in her chest and she was praying that he couldn't hear it. "If I win, Karura, you will be my girlfriend for the next 6 months." He said huskily in her ear. A pregnant silence hovered over them for what seemed like on hours on end. Until… "WHAT?"
