CHAPTER SIX:
Misaki watched as more genins gathered in the exam building. She saw the familiar
blonde boy and his group. She heard a piece of their conversation as they passed by.
"Well that wasn't too hard." The blonde murmured.
The pink-haired girl sighed heavily, "Oh Naruto. We have to be prepared. Besides, this
next exam we will be fighting other genin and those might be from other lands."
"Don't worry Sakura. I'll pass. Believe it!"
That was it for the conversation as they passed her. She couldn't help but feel a
little bit nervous as the building was becoming crowded. Misaki wished that she could
sit with her partner, but Gaara would ban it. She stood up, notifying Gaara
immediately that she was leaving. He grasped her wrist suddenly, "Where do you think
you're going?"
"To the bathroom. I have to go before the exams."
"That better be the only place you go." Gaara murmured low as he released her wrist.
"Unless you want to come with me..."
Misaki felt his hand on her cheek, but didn't realize that he had stood up and slapped
her so fast. "You'll regret that tonight. Now go and be back quick."

Naruto looked up as he heard flesh on flesh, a hard smack from the red head. He had
smacked the black-haired girl that he had seen earlier. He could see that she wasn't
resisting him, but why? Why was that girl being hurt?
He stood up and said, "I'll be back. I'm going to the bathroom."
"Better be back soon Naruto." Sakura replied.
"I will."

Misaki wiped her tears from her face. She washed her face and reapplied her puppet
make-up. After putting her make-up in her side bag, she pulled her hair back up in a
high ponytail, then left the girls restroom to find the blonde-haired boy outside
waiting for her. "Uh...may I help you?" She questioned him.
"I'm Naruto from Konaha." He greeted her.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Misaki from Suna." She greeted back. Even though he could be
her opponent, she still wanted to be polite.
"Misaki, why do you let him hurt you?"
She was shocked at this. Had everyone noticed Gaara hurting her? Or was it just
Naruto? "Look it's none of your business."
"Don't let him hurt you."
Misaki whirled around and faced Naruto. Her anger suddenly getting a hold of her. "You
know nothing Naruto. So leave me alone!" She shouted then stalked off back to her
group.

Once getting back to her seat, she found Baki-sensei and the others gathered around
Gaara. "Misaki, we're glad you're back. This is the second exam. You will have to face
an opponent from another country." She could see Gaara's teal eyes glaring at her as
Baki-sensei continued, "We are going to have to wait. We don't know when they are
going to call your name."
Misaki nodded her head then replied, "Yes Baki-sensei."
They waited as the stadium filled with more ninja till finally the exam started.
Misaki looked down and watched as two ninja were called and began to battle each
other. She knew that she would be down there soon and that she had to pass the exam.
As ninja went down to battle each other, time seemed to be slow. How long had it been
since they had come here? "Misaki..." Kankuro interrupted her thoughts. "Didn't you
hear them?"
Misaki looked towards him and replied, "I'm sorry. No. Is it my turn?"
"Yes." He replied.
"I'm sorry." She repeated as she stood and looked outward towards the field. "I'm
ready for my turn. I will make all of you proud."
"Just don't fail." Gaara interrupted.
Misaki turned towards him and glared at his unemotional teal eyes. "Don't worry. I
won't."
Misaki made it to the arena and waited patiently for her opponent to enter. When he
finally entered, she released Dove from her holdings and waited for the Jonin to begin
the exam. She knew she would win, no matter what.
xxxx
It didn't take long for Misaki to defeat her opponent. She had heard her partners
cheer for her...except for Gaara. She knew though that she would make it. From the
moment she finished the second exam she was proud of her achievement.
Misaki arrived to the seats that her partners and sensei were at and sat down. Kankuro
shouted, "I knew you would do it!"
She blushed, "Thanks Kankuro."
They waited another hour before Gaara was called to the arena. Misaki watched as he
walked down to the arena and entered in. She turned to her partners and sensei and
told them, "I'm going outside. I can't watch Gaara."
"Why not?" Temari asked.
"I just can't. I know he is going to win. I will wait for everyone." She responded
then stood up and left.
Kankuro told them, "I'm going to make sure she is okay."
The two nodded as he left to talk with Misaki. Kankuro was so worried about her. Why
couldn't she be in a better situation? As he approached her, he questioned, "Misaki
why do you let him hurt you?"
"You sound like that blonde-haired boy." She replied.
He stood beside her and murmured in her ear, "I wish I could stop him."
Leaning her head against his shoulder she said, "I know."
"I wish I could do something."
"Just don't let him catch you with me."
Kankuro leaned over and brought her face to his and kissed her lips. She choked back a
surprised reply as he continued to kiss her lips. They parted lips and Kankuro
murmured, "I don't care Misaki. I will always love you."
She looked into his eyes then said, "I can't..." Pushing away from him as she left him
alone to go down the stairs of the stadium to sit at the bottom. Kankuro watched his
partner leave him behind knowing that she had to make the bad decisions by herself. He
also knew that it wasn't her decision. Their father put his best friend and Gaara
together. Kankuro sighed then looked at the bottom of the steps. She was sitting on
them, waiting for Gaara to come back from his battle.
xxxx
Gaara's battle was stopped by Gai-sensei. He won however, and he knew that he would.
After leaving the arena he joined his sister, brother, and sensei. "Where's Misaki?"
"She's outside." Baki replied.
"Fine...We're leaving to go back to the apartment." Gaara told the three then left
them without a word. He made his way up the steps quickly to the top to see where
Misaki was. Instead of finding her on the top he saw she was at the bottom. "Misaki."
He said while walking down to her.
She turned towards him and responded, "I'm glad you're done."
He ignored her words, "We're going to our apartment."
Misaki watched as he grabbed her arm and began to take her towards the inner part of
the town. "Do we have to do this now?"
A hard hand smacked her cheek while he replied, "My father told you to do what I
said."
Tears fell down her soft cheeks, "I know. Please let's just go back Gaara."
"Then don't make me angry." His hand was leaving a bruise on her wrist while taking
her towards the city. "Do what I say."
xxxx
Tears fell down her cheeks as sand held her wrists. She was naked on the bed and Gaara was already in between her naked legs. Misaki knew that Kankuro was right, but she could do nothing about it. Gaara would forever stay in his position. And who knew about Shukaku? Her breasts heaved as he pushed in her and bit hard on her neck. Unfortunately, Gaara didn't care if she had marks or not.
It only took about two minutes for him to release then fall on top of her in pleasure. His teal eyes glaring into her own, "I know you talked to him. Don't you ever talk to Kankuro unless I say so."
She was shocked or should she be, "Yes Gaara." With that said he fell asleep on top of her. Misaki knew that now her life could not change unless Gaara did. Tears continued to fall down her cheeks while her counterpart was asleep.
