Sasuke-

I glared daggers at this kid. I have no clue why I was so mad about Naruko's injury. The red haired boy seemed angry at me as well. My sharingan activate and I was about to charge him when two people appeared behind him. A girl with messy, dirty blond hair and a man who had some sort of cat hat on his head.

"Gaara? What are you doing?" the girl asked. The red haired boy, Gaara, didn't answer. The two who just came looked over at me.

"He hurt my friend. I suggest you get him out of here before I do something I'll regret." I snapped.

"I doubt you could get a scratch on Gaara." the girl scoffed.

"Hey Gaara? Who's the girl? She's cute." the boy nudged Gaara.

"Screw off." came Naruko's reply. I looked back, she had pulled out a water bottle and was treating her wound.

I glared back at the three. Ready to attack.

"Whoa whoa whoa. Why don't we save this fighting for the exams." I looked to see Kakashi sitting in the tree I was in before. He hopped down and knelt next to Naruko.

Naruko-

"What?" I snapped at Kakashi. He did that weird thing when he smiles with his eye.

"Are you okay princess?" He mocked. I shot out my hand to hit him and he moved back, causing me to nearly topple over. "Yeah, you're fine." he chuckled, turning to the three ninjas who Sasuke was facing off with. "You three must be the kids from the sand. Sabaku Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro." he said.

"We are." Temari spoke. I glared at them.

"Well, move along, we wouldn't want you to get disqualified for fighting outside the exams." Kakashi said. The three bowed and took another look at me and Sasuke before moving on. Kakashi waved to the both of us before leaving.

Sasuke turned to me, coming over to help me up, when I felt an arm around my waist as someone hoisted me up. I looked to my right and saw a boy with long hair and white eyes. He smirked at me.

"Need some help?" He asked.

"Uh, yeah, thanks." I muttered, trying to remember where I'd seen him before. I looked over to Sasuke, he looked angry.

"Uchiha." the boy supporting me nodded.

"Hyuuga." Sasuke gritted.

Neji-

I was walking along when I had found Naruko in distress. It was fate of course, so I took it upon myself to help her stand upright. Of course, after looking forward I was met with the angry eyes of a certain Uchiha Sasuke. I looked down at the blonde who had an arm around my neck for balance. I could tell she didn't know who I was. She was obviously uncomfortable with the way I was holding her, it was normal, she was new in Konoha and probably only trusted a select few people. Sasuke, sadly, being one of them. I turned to Naruko.

"You're lucky your fate had me come to your rescue." I said.

"Fate?" she said.

"Indeed." I nodded, "You should go to a doctor." I said, looking at her badly scraped ankle. She nodded.

"I guess." She muttered.

Naruko-

I looked up to Sasuke, hoping to escape whoever this guy was, he was making me uncomfortable. He strode over, holding out a hand to me.

"Yeah, come on we can go see Sakura." Sasuke said. I grabbed his hand and Sasuke pulled me away, helping me to Sakura's house.

Sasuke-

Sasuke- 1 Neji- 0

Sakura-

It was weird to have visitors on a work day, visitors that weren't Ino anyway. Sasuke had brought Naruko over saying that she was hurt by a Sand ninja. Naruko was currently seated on my desk chair, wincing.

"Quit it! That hurts!" She hissed, pulling her ankle away. I pulled it back, dabbing it with the rubbing alcohol again.

"Don't be such a baby." I smirked up at her, she sent me an icy glare. I finished, wrapping up her leg. I stood. "but really, you should go to a doctor." I pointed at her. Sure, I didn't particularly like Naruko, but she was my teammate now. It was my job to look out for her. She groaned.

"I HATE the doctors" She yelled the word hate to make sure I got the point.

"Oh well." I said, grabbing her hand and leading her out, Sasuke following us.

"Ow! Ow! Pinky! My ankle!" She whined. I took a larger step and she yelped in pain.

"And enough with the nick name." I growled. She sneered in a different direction. She was like a little kid.

So, Naruko ended up having to stay a night at the hospital. She continued to glare at me and the wall. Muttering about me being a stupid pink bitch and dragging her around like a trained rat. But I would get her for that later.

Kakashi-

I stood in the Hokage's room with Ebisu and Jiraiya. The Hokage sighed.

"So you won't teach her Ebisu?" He asked.

"Absolutely not! That girl is a demon!" He snapped.

"You mean, far superior to you." I yawned. He glared at me, I just waved in return.

"Kakashi? What about you?" The Hokage asked.

"I have my hands full with Sasuke." I shrugged. We all turned to Jiraiya.

"What? Me?" he stuttered.

"She is used to you." The Hokage said.

"And... and she listens to you." Ebisu admitted.

"And you love her." I mocked, smirking under my mask. He sighed.

"I guess. Okay. I'll do it." He said. The Hokage nodded.

"She'll be safe with you, we're still not sure what lengths the Akutsuki will go to to get her back." he said.

"That's true..." I said.

I stood and left after we were dismissed, I went off to find Sasuke. He was at the hospital in a room with Sakura and Naruko. I thought I'd have some fun. I came in through the window.

"Sasuke, time to train." I said. Naruko looked over to me.

"I'll come too." She said in that usual monotone voice she used.

"No no, you have you're teacher." I said. I could see the anger in her eyes now.

"Ebisu? That moron? I refuse to train with him, I can already beat him with both hands tied." She stated.

"Well, that's not my problem." I waved, leading Sasuke out the room. Sasuke turned to me as we walked down the hall.

"Nice performance. Now who's Naruko's real teacher?" Sasuke demanded to know.

"Performance? What are you talking about?" I continued as Sasuke's impatiens grew.

Naruko-

Later that night I sat awake in the my bed. I didn't even feel any pain any more but the doctor insisted I rest for the rest of the night. I didn't have time to be sitting around here. I needed to get stronger, so I could get through the Chunnin Exams fast, then maybe get out of Konoha because this place is still making me uncomfortable and I don't like it. Well, I like the Ramen, and the Ramen Guy, and Jiraiya's pretty cool... Sakura's not that bad, Sasuke's never been a big issue. Tsunade's fun... and I'm getting used to Kakashi more and more each day. The Hokage isn't as horrible as I thought. But what Konoha did as a whole is unforgivable!

I groaned out loud, somethings were so confusing. I heard a tap on my window. I looked over, it was Jiraiya. I let a huge smile cross my face. I ripped the bandage off my foot and threw on my shoes, jumping out of the window and onto the large frog Jiraiya was riding on.

Jiraiya-

Naruko was smiling as we walked through the town, she was mad at first, not getting to ride the frog all the way out of the village. I turned to her.

"I'm going to teach you how to summon frogs. Then you can ride them all you want." I said, she beamed at me.

"Awesome!" She cheered. "I can't wait!" I smiled.

"Yeah, yeah. But don't expect me to be around you all the time. I have work to do to." I informed her.

"Work on your perverted book." she grumbled, I hit her over the head.

"NOT THAT." I shouted, she just laughed and rubbed her head.

"Sure sure." she said was we walked down the path.

Ok, here you go! I'm not sure if it's short or whatever, but I'm gonna leave you with this! I'll be off somewhere for a couple of days so I'll be back with this story and others at some point this week or the next. Hope you liked the chapter, Kakashi came up with that 'Princess' nick name by the way. I would let him and Naruko say hi but...

Sasuke- But Naruko's chasing him down the street.

Gaara- And no one in this room really cares.

Me- Jiraiya cares. He's with them.

Sakura- Yeah, Naruko's chasing him for laughing.

Me- Haha, oh yeah... well, whatever, Bye!
