A.N.: I do not own Naruto. Leave a review if you like the story, Dattebane! :D

Nana wasn't unconscious for long, she fully woke up in the evening in the room alone. Naruto was already dismissed from the hospital. Looking around the dark room she saw her dango plushie on the nightstand beside her bed. She took it in her hands observing it, looking at the eyes, that were really only two vertical sewn lines. Thinking back everything came rushing down on her, the guy she killed in the preliminary exam, the accident with Gaara. To be fair what happened with Gaara didn't bother her as much as to what happened in the preliminaries. She actually killed a man, she killed a human being. He did threaten the others well-being and her own, one man for the life of others was well worth it, and she shouldn't regret it. Then why? Why was she feeling this way? Could his life be spared? But then, why didn't the proctor interfere? So many questions swirled through her head and she didn't have the answers.

"I see you're awake." A gentle voice brought her out of her thoughts.

Looking up she saw the night nurse closing the door as she entered the room. The nurse wasn't in the room for long, just long enough to give her some medications and to re-bandage her ankle. Why they didn't put it in a cast she didn't know.

"Tomorrow…" Nana said quietly as she saw the nurse leaving.

"Hm?" She saw the brunette turn around her hand already on the door handle.

"Will I be allowed to go to the matches tomorrow?" Nana asked, but instead of looking at the nurse her gaze went out to the rooftops that reflected the moons light gently.

"Nana…" The brunette let out a small sigh "You know you can't use any ninjutsu for a month maybe even longer. It all depends on your chakra recovery now. We don't even know if you'll make a full recovery this time." The nurse told her truthfully, making Nana nod in appreciation and turn her gaze from the rooftops to her.

"I will be able to go cheer for my brother, right?" She asked with hope in her eyes and the nurse nodded at her in confirmation making Nana gently smile at her before she left.

The nurse left the room and Nana's gaze wandered back to her dango plushie that was resting on her lap. Pulling her knees closer to her chest she hugged the dango, resting her forehead on top of it. As soon as her forehead made contact with the soft surface of the plushie she removed it looking at the spot her forehead made contact with. Observing it she used her fingers to remove the small grains of sand from it, smiling to herself in the process as her chest became a bit warmer at the thought of the redhead. She knew he was dangerous, his thinking even more so, but she couldn't help herself as she smiled at the very thought of him.

The next morning Nana awoke before the sun could come out, she didn't know what time it was, but it had to be before six in the morning. Bored of lying in the hospital bed she grabbed her clothes and walked, well more like dragged herself under the showers to freshen up and made her way outside to meet with the other chuunin contestants.

As soon as she entered the Arena with the crutches making noise whenever they made contact with the ground she could feel eyes on her. Looking up she saw the Suna siblings, making eye contact with Gaara but broke it off soon as Hibachi jumped in front of her face, successfully breaking their eye contact.

"Oy Red-chan." He greeted her his hand coming around her shoulder.

"Red…chan?" She asked confused looking at him as he dragged her over to Shikamaru and Shino.

"Good to see you out of the hospital Nanami." Shikamaru greeted her as Shino added a quiet indeed to agree with him.

"Glad to be finally out. I spend the whole month trapped in there." Nana smiled at them as Hibachi helped her sit down.

"I'm fine Nakamura." She said a bit agitated, making him sweat drop.

"N-N-Nakamura?" He exclaimed with a disappointed stutter while his head made contact with his palm.

Not paying too much attention to Hibachis sudden change of attitude she looked around the room searching for her brother.

"Where are Naruto and Sasuke, and the sound guy?" She asked, just to receive the same answer from them.

No one knew where Naruto was and Nana began to worry. What if something happened to him? What if he overslept? Before she could decide to go out and look for him, the proctor came and told them to follow him out to the battleground. They formed a line and followed him through a long dark corridor out on to the battlefield. Nana had to shield her eyes when they stepped out as the light seemed a bit too strong. Looking up she could see the tall walls with the spectator seats through the whole arena, most of the seats were already taken, only here and there was a seat that no one occupied. The people were already noisy conversing between themselves, laughing and what seemed like taking bets. Reaching the centre of the arena the proctor stopped making them stop to and face him.

"Do you hear that?" Shikamaru asked her as he was the one standing next to her.

Before she could ask him what he meant she could hear the yelling. Face palming herself hard as she realized whose voice it was. There was no doubt that that screams belonged to her beloved twin brother. Everyone faced the arena entrance as the yelling got louder and louder. Not soon after they turned they could see the unmistaken orange outfit of Naruto as he came sliding face down through half of the arena, stopping a few feet before them. Both Nana and Shikamaru made their way to him. As Shikamaru helped him stand up Nana used the moment to properly knock her fist over the top of his head.

"What the hell Naruto! You're late! Dattebane!" She exclaimed in frustration her arm still shaking out of anger.

Ignoring her Naruto started yelling something about them to run and something about bulls. And the next minute he switched to asking about where Sasuke was.

"Don't ignore your own sister!" She yelled and Naruto could swear he saw her hair begin to float around her in anger, making him step back as he started muttering excuses out of fear.

"Hey, you three. Stop walking around. Stand up straight and show your faces to the crowd. You guys are the main players in the upcoming match." He told them as they all looked around the crowd who got louder at cheering for them. Soon after the Kazekage joined the Konoha's Hokage and Nana could feel the hatred emitting from Gaara.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to the Hidden Village of Konoha's Chuunin Selection Exam today. We will now begin the main matches with the ten that have passed the preliminaries. Please enjoy the matches." The Hokage announced before sitting down.

The final Chuunin exam finally began.
