Gaara stared kankuro down from the tree. You shuddered, even the thought of being on the receiving end of his death stare was enough to scare you.

"Why do you think we came all the way here to Konohanakure?" Gaara hissed

"Please listen to me Gaara," Kankuro reasoned "they lashed out first..." he immediately wrapped up his weird bag and put it back on his back, even from afar you could tell he was sweating bullets.

"Shut up" Gaara said... no, commanded. His face looked angry and aloof. "Or I'll kill you." He said, quite confidently for wanting to you thought would be his friend.

"Understood, Gaara, I was totally out of line..." he put his hands up, surrendering, the girl next to him followed in his lead. "I'm sorry- im really sorry." Kankuro turned to the leaf ninjas and politely bowed.

You were still suspicious of the ninjas, but decided to let it go, after all you didn't want to be on Kankuro's bad side, much less Gaara's, the red haired genin who already had amazing chakara control.

Without realizing it you had zoned off and gotten lost in thought while looking at Gaara.
"I'm sorry for any trouble he caused." His tone was quite indifferent for an apology, but you took what you could get. When you zoned back in you realized he was looking right at you, since you were shielding the Konohamaru. You have a slight nod in return, knowing you wouldn't be able to form any words, even if you had known that you wanted to say.

Gaara disappeared into a cloud of sand, you couldn't take your eyes off of it, since you were born and raised in the leaf village you hadn't had the opportunity to see sand before, at least not to this degree. The cloud of sand drizzled down to the floor, before reforming into the young genin.

"Let's go, we didn't come here to play around."
Gaara said. The group turned to walk away, so many questions spiraled around in your head, but you definitely didn't want them to stay long enough to figure them out. Your first and most important job was to make sure no one got hurt, but there was still one question lingering on your brain.

'if these ninjas are genin just like us, how powerful will the rest of our opponents be for the exam?'

"Wait a minute!" Sakura shouted. This time the girl turned around to respond. "What is it?" She asked, half annoyed. "Judging from your headbands, you're ninjas from the village hidden in the sand, Aren't you?"

'Did it really take her this long to figure that out?'

"No shinobi can just enter a village without permission, so state your purpose!" Sakura balled her fists and stood up straight, you almost laughed at her stupidity.

"Really, Have you all been living under a rock? You mean you actually don't know what's going on?" She pulled out a laminated permit, you saw that her name was temari "we have permission. We are hidden sand genin, our home is the land of the wind. We are here for the chunin exam." she stated quite proudly.

Naruto squirmed around "...chunin exam?I've never heard of that before, believe it!"

"Oh I believe it, belive that you're completely clueless." Tamari chuckled. You couldn't contain your smirk and had to cover your face.
"She's right Naruto, did you really not know about the chunin exam?" Naruto turned bright red, "You mean you knew too (y/n)? And you didn't tell me?!"

The trio had no Intrust in the affairs of the leaf village. You were busy trying to calm down Naruto and explain the exam to him to notice Sasuke jumping down from the tree, but you put two and two together that he stopped to ask a few questions, since Sakura was about to wring out tamari's neck for speaking in the presence of her precious Sasuke.

You groaned at Naruto's annoyingness and looked up towards the sky. The warm glow of the sub calmed you down but when you saw how high in the sky is was you nearly freaked. You did a double take and checked your wrist watch. "I have to go, like 10 minutes ago!" You wizzed around. "Konohamaru, Udon, Moegi!" The trio stood up straight "get home safely, and please for the love of my sanity, don't cause any more trouble while the exams are happening."

You ran as fast as you could down the streets of the village, dodging person after person, automatically spewing a stream of "Sorry!" And "excuse me!" You clutched onto your purse as you quickly turned a corner. You paused for a second, your chest falling up and down as your eyes tried to locate a street sign. 'Perfect, one more street!' You barreled down the sidewalk and almost passed the right door.

"I'M HERE-" you breathlessly exclaimed swinging the door open. To your embarrassment the entire restaurant went quiet, staring at you. "Oh- sorry, sorry-" you bowed multiple times before quickly shuffling over to the window, and sitting down at one of the booths.

"THERE YOU ARE (Y/N) I WAS STARTING TO THINK YOU WERE KIDNAPPEDDD!" guy-Sensei shouted, tears were falling dramatically down his face and he clung to your arm. Neji sighed and rubbed his temples "Guy-Sensei, She's always late, why did you expect it to be any different this time?" He shot (y/n) a nasty look, Neji was always on time, it frustrated him that (y/n) was constantly late.

"It's not under good principle to be late, especially not to our celebration dinner, but I'm sure (y/n) has an excellent reason why she was late." Rock Lee remarked, staring you down waiting for an answer. Guy turned his attention towards (y/n) as well. "I had to run an errand for Iruka-Sensei and it took... longer than expected." Guy's eyes widened and tears flowed down his cheeks "don't tell me you've been wasting your youth overworking yourself!" Rock Lee, who had been paying intense attention gasped. The combined noise of the two of them garnered much attention.

Neji tried to hide his face with his hand, while you slumped now in your chair. You grabbed your glass of tea and took a sip. You distracted yourself by looking around the restaurant, out of the corner of your eye you saw a familiar red haired boy, sitting at a both on the other side of the restaurant. You thought he must have felt your gaze and turned to look, immediately you choked on your tea. moving closer to guy Sensei you hoped you were slumped enough that the genin wouldn't see you.

You covered your mouth and coughed up the tea, trying to clear your lungs. "Are you alright (Y/n)-? Do I need to need to preform the Heimlich maneuver???" Rock Lee jumped up to help and you immediately waved him to sit back down, still coughing you shook your head no. "Are you sure?" He repeated, more people looked over. "Imperfectlyfinepleasesitdown"
You hissed.

Neji followed your eyes and looked down to your cheeks, he turned his head around to survey the restaurant. turning back around he asked "Is that your new boyfriend?" Even though neji didn't smile, you could tell he was just enjoying this chance to annoy you. "Neji I swear to the hokage if you don't shut up right now-"

"BOYFRIEND?!" Guy-sensei hollered
