The day of the Chunin Exams are upon me and I've never been more exhilarated.

"Naruto. Wake up."

It's my turn to wake up the boy for a change. When he doesn't get up, I shake him rapidly. Still, he shows no signs of movement. At this point in time I was growing impatient. I stumped over to the kitchen and filled up a bucket of water and dumped it on his head.

"MADI!!!" Naruto screamed as he got up. I stood there, staring at him with a blank face.

"You weren't getting up, so I decided to take matters into my own hands."

Naruto stomps off mumbling things under his breath and I prepare some breakfast for us. We finish eating and head towards the exam building when Sasuke meets up with us.

"You ready for this Sasuke?" Naruto tries to taunt him, "You know, it's not too late to give up."

"I was about to tell you the same thing," Sasuke says with a smirk.

I'm standing in between the two boys and I roll my eyes.

"By the way Madi, how is this going to work for you if you don't have a team?" Sasuke asked, clearly he's been thinking about the question.

"Actually," I answer, "I just take it on my own."

Naruto and Sasuke both turn to me with puzzled looks.

"WHAT?" Naruto says, looking absolutely flabbergasted.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that."

"You'll die," Sasuke says to me, in complete seriousness.

"It's good to know you have faith in me," I retort.

Sasuke goes to say something else but Sakura skips over to us, grabbing his arm. "So you decided to show Sakura?" Naruto asks.

Sakura nods with a smile, "You bet I did! Why is Madi here? She's not a part of our team!"

"I mean I am Naruto's sister and we're headed to the same place, but I guess you couldn't figure that much out. All that headspace, but it's all empty."

The strawberry head huffs and looks back forward. We arrive to the buildings. The exam rooms are supposed to be on the third floor, so why was everyone gathered on the second? Is it a genjutsu? I'm about to make my way to the third floor when I head a voice, "Madi!"

Tenten's voice comes from the crowd and I leave my previous group in search for her. Before I could navigate her, I'm engulfed in a hug I soon realize is hers.

"Madi? Who is this?" Naruto shouts.

Tenten releases me and smiles, and I turn to see Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura coming over to me.

"Hey guys, this is Tenten. She's on team Gai and I did a mission with her a little while ago." I explain to team Kakashi.

Neji then comes up and puts his arm around me and pats my head.

"Neji..." I growl at him. The then moves his arm from around me and rests it on my head. If anyone else did this, I'd probably be infuriated, but since it's Neji I let it slide.

Sasuke's voice seems angry, "And this is...?"

"And this is Neji Hyuuga. Just another person on team Gai that I worked with for a while."

"And her closest friend," he adds. Tenten scoffs and then pulls me closer to her.

"Actually I'm her closest friend, and Neji's not even a close second."

"Madi, you have friends?" Naruto questions me and raises his eyebrows.

My normal stare turned into a glare, before I had a chance to say anything though, I was cut off.

"Madi! Still as beautiful as ever! Have you thought about my offer? Will you please be my girlfriend? I'll love and protect you forever!"

Lee is not kneeling in front of me as if he's going to propose. Sasuke is looking at him with growing anger. Why is he so angry?

"Actually Lee," I begin to say.

"She has to pass," Sasuke says for me. I was about to say the same thing, but maybe a little nicer.

I eye Sasuke and glare, "I'm sorry Lee, maybe another time."

Lee lets out a defeated huff and gets to his feet. I turn to face team Gai, "This is only the second floor you guys, there's been a genjutsu put down."

Neji looks around and starts to agree with me.

"What did you just say you brat?" comes one of the boys that were guarding the door. He goes to kick me but Sasuke puts his foot up to kick him back. Lee then gets in the middle of them and catches both their feet. Thank god, I wonder what would have happened.

"Good job you three," says the other person who was guarding the door. I head up to the other exam room with team Gai. Team Kakashi takes a detour and Lee slips in after them. Neji and Tenten enter the actual exam rooms, and I'm called over my Setami Sensei.

We stand in the hall together and she pulls me into a hug. I have gotten so many hugs in this past week it's almost unbearable. "You got past the first part Madi, but the actual first challenge won't be so simple. Don't let your guard down and don't crack under the pressure."

"You should really know me better than that Sensei," I tease her with a smirk. She laughs and sends me off. A limping Sasuke comes back with Naruto and Sakura.

"What happened?" I ask the team.

"Sasuke got wiped out by Bushy Brow!" Naruto exclaims.

"Why?"

Naruto goes to say something but is interrupted by Sasuke, "I don't know. He said something about wanting to test his strength."

"That sounds like Lee," I huff with a sigh. "Sasuke, you might want to hide that limp better. If the people in that room see you struggling at all, they'll mark you as easy prey immediately."

Sasuke nods and we head in. I scan the area and see the group of sound ninja, when a familiar face locks eyes with mine. It's the same kid that tried to get with me when I visited the sound... How did he manage to get in here. He grabs his teammates and they all whistle and point at me.

"Show us something, won't ya?" They holler at me. My face flushed and I wish to be anywhere but here.

A sound ninja on the team then sticks his tongue between his index and ring finger, looking directly at me. A shadow then grabs my waist and pulls me next to him. Sasuke glares at the group and activates his sharingan for a split second. When did he unlock that?

All the guys quickly shut up and I let out a sigh of relief. Sasuke then turns to me and puts my hair behind my face.

"I'll make sure to kill them during the exams."

If the time comes to it, I'll allow it...

"Really?"

Absolutely

A loud voice then interrupted my mental conversation. He gives us a number and a place to sit and everyone takes their seat. I'm positioned next to someone I don't recognize and Temari is on the other side of me. The test is written and it's obvious the objective is to cheat. I copy my answers from the guy next to me. Naruto seems like he's about to back down before the tenth question is given out, but instead just makes an inspirational speech. I knew Naruto would never back down. The proctor passed everyone left and the next one arrives through the window. She explains the next test, and I realize it will be much more difficult, especially being alone....
