A/N: YOU GUYS. I'M SOOOO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING SOONER. I'LL EXPLAIN AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER. KAY. BYE.

Po-

"Koji… you will be impaled."

"And she's up!" Koji announced.

"Good. I was starting to get worried. The Chunin Exams are today after all, so we don't want you to be late." Neji said calmly.

"Right." Akane said. But then, she started to feel nauseous.

"Akane? Are you ok? You're paler than usual." Tenten said, worried.

"I think I'm fine… wait no… I take that back." Akane jumped from her bed and into the bathroom where she emptied out the contents of her stomach into the toilet. She felt her her hair being pulled back as last night's dinner came out of her body. (A/N: Ewwww… sorry for the graphic explanation, just felt like it should be clear that she was barfing… Happy thoughts.)

"Ewwww, that's gross." Koji said. From where the sick girl was, Akane could hear a slap. Most likely from Tenten to Koji.

"Akane… I'm not sure if I want you at the exams if you're feeling this way." Neji said softly, holding his daughter's hair back.

"You're father is right honey. It won't be good for you. You should stay home and rest." Tenten said.

When Akane was finished, she looked at the rest of her family. "Ok, I'll stay home… but… but what am I supposed to tell Miki and Raiden? They really wanted to this."

"Koji and I will talk to them and help find them someone to compete with. You just worry about getting better." Neji said.

Akane hugged her father. "Thank you."

"Akane, let's go get you into some clean clothes." Tenten said, leading her daughter out of the bathroom and into her room.

"Alright Koji, let's go break the news." Neji patted his son on the back.

"But won't Akane get mad?" Koji asked.

"What do you mean?"

"We can't just tell them that Akane likes Raid- OH WAIT. Never-mind… I got it now…"

"You know, now I am a little worried about taking you with me, but I do not really have a choice, so let's get going." And with that the two males left the house.

Akane and Tenten were currently in the living room, lounging about on the couches. Tenten was polishing her weapons, and since Akane was not allowed to train, she decided to look to through old bingo books.

Akane was changed into a large white T-shirt with the Hyuuga clan symbol on both shoulders, grey sweats, and her dark red hair was laying down to her chest.

"So Akane… are you disappointed?" Tenten asked.

Akane sighed. "Well, I suppose so, but at the same time, I'm kind of relived. I was so nervous about the exams. So I guess I'm sad and happy about not being able to compete."

"Well now you get to cheer Raiden on, don't you?" Tenten smirked.

"M-mom!" Akane stuttered.

"I kid, I kid. So why are you looking through the bingo books, anyways?"

"Well, I need something to do. This was the only thing I could think of. I mean it is pretty bori-" The girl cut her self off when she looked at someone in the bingo book.

"Akane?"

The man Akane as looking at was a young boy with long blonde hair, hanging past one of his eyes and his other one showing it's color, blue. He had a Iwagakure forehead-protector with a slash through the symbol.

Tenten could see her daughter's blush from across the living room. "So, who'd you find?" She crossed the rug between them and sat on the couch. "Oh, I remember him."

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Birthdate: May 5th

Affiliation: Akatsuki

Name: Deidara

"What's the Akatsuki?" Akane asked.

"The Akatsuki was a group of S-ranked criminals that deflected from different villages, and went around taking the Tailed-Beasts from Jinchurikis and sealing them." Tenten explained.

"Isn't Uncle Naruto a Jinchriki? For the Nine Talis?"

"Yup. The Akatsuki once tried to take the Nine Tails when Naruto was 13." Tenten then smirked to herself. "But enough about that. Let's talk about your crush on Deidara."

"Let's not." Akane suggested. "But also…" Tenten looked down at the page Akane was on, and the other men on it.

Name: Itachi

Name: Hidan

Name: Sasori

She then looked to see the blush on Akane's face. "Honey… do you have a thing for bad boys?"

"I'M ASLEEP, I CAN NOT HEAR YOU." Akane started to fake snore.

"Why is Akane pretending to be asleep?" Koji asked, coming in through the front door with Neji.

"Oh good you're back. So? What happened?" Tenten asked.

"The two were a bit disappointed for Akane not being there. But we helped them find another person to compete with before the exams started." Neji explained

"Well that's good." Tenten said, giving Neji a kiss on the cheek.(A/N: *squeals*)

"How's Akane doing?" Neji asked.

"Fine, she only had to rush to the bathroom once." Tenten said.

"Well that's good." Neji sighed. "I hope she isn't too disappointed."

"She told me that she was more relived. She really thought she didn't have a chance, which is insane."

"We also found out that she likes four of the Akatsuki members."

Neji's face went blank. "F-four?"

Tenten playfully punched Neji in the arm. "Oh, knock it off." She kissed him on the cheek once more. "I'm going to go make dinner."

Neji started to walk to the kitchen, but his father senses were tingling. He should probably save Koji.

"Koji, I would stop poking your sister's face before she impales you."

"What do you mean? She's aslee-" Koji turned his face to look at his sister only to see a pissed off Akane. He squealed and ran off towards the kitchen.

"Even when I'm sick, I still have power."

A/N: Ok this is a really short chapter.

I'm soooooo sorry for not updating sooner. School just started for me and I've also been really distracted lately, not to mention, I've been having writers block, I couldn't decide what the first test of the exam should be, which is why I postponed it to later in the story.

BWAHAHAHAHA AKANE HAS A CRUSH ON 4 AKATSUKI MEMBERS. But then again so do I…

In other news! Akane's file has been uploaded to my DeviantArt, so if you wanna go check that out, my user is the same one as one here (nejiissobae). Koji is still a work in progress, but HE WILL BE UPLOADED BEFORE THE NEXT CHAPTER. I might even do picutres of Akane's teammates as well. Who knows?

Alright, now for this chapter's question.

Q: Favorite Akatsuki member?

A: I love all of them, but if I had to chose just one, it would probably be Deidara. I love that blonde sexy bomber :) 3

Ok then. Review and stuff. I love all of your beautiful faces (I said that last chapter but oh well). See you next chapter! Adios!
