During the time that we waited for the Chunin exams to occur, I had spent a lot of time with Kiba both hanging out and practicing our techniques. We had gotten closer and I felt that we were the best of friends now like Naruto and I. Waiting outside of the school, we all spotted Sakura coming towards us.
"Hey, Sakura, you're late." Naruto greeted.
"Sorry. Good morning Sasuke." She greeted in a quieter voice than usual. Sasuke and I both noticed the change in her and we both narrowed our eyes. My eyes were concerned while Sasuke's showed his usual brooding face. Placing a hand on her shoulder, I gave her a reassuring smile and pushed her forwards into the building.When we got upstairs, our goal was room 301 but it seemed that we were trapped in an illusion technique. We weren't on the floor we wanted to be on. A huge crowd was surrounding the hallway where 'room 301' was, so we pushed our way through to the front. A boy in a green spandex suit like Uncle Guy's was shoved back by two boys who were actually Jonin in disguise. A girl in a pink top caught him and stared at the Jonin in shock.
"You're trying to take the Chunin exam with that kind of level?" One of them taunted. This one had bandages on his tanned face around his jaw. "You're still just kids."
"Please, let us through." The girl wore a pink sleeveless qipao-style blouse with red sleeve trimmings and yellow fastening buttons as well as dark green pants, a pouch adjusted to her thigh, and standard blue ninja sandals. Her hair was brunette and her eyes were a dark brown. She went to try to get through but was also shoved back and ended up on the floor next to the spandex dude.
"Listen up, we're being kind to you. The Chunin exam is extremely difficult."
"We have seen those who gave up on becoming a ninja or become seriously injured taking this exam." The other softer voiced boy said. They continued the lecture until Sasuke spoke up in his usual arrogant tone.
"That's a sound argument, but, I will pass. Undo this field you've created using an illusion technique. I want to go to the third floor."
"You noticed?" The softer voiced one muttered.
"Sakura? How about you? You should've noticed first." Sasuke started as he tried to encourage her.
"Your analisation skills and illusionary technique know-how is the best in our squad." I continued sending her a smile.
"Thank you." She murmured quietly. "Of course, I've noticed it already, because this is the 2nd floor." Naruto nodded in agreement and the illusion was taken down revealing the true situation.
"You're pretty good. But just being able to detect it isn't enough...." Bandage boy commented with a smirk. He went to kick Sasuke who reacted with a kick, however just as I was lunging forward, a green flash came up so it ended up with both me and the spandex boy holding onto the legs. I held Sasuke's while he held onto the Jonin's. They both backed off and stared at us in shock as they realised that we had stopped their strong kicks with ease.
"Hey, you broke the promise." A Hyuga commented as he walked forward with the girl. "You're the one that said you didn't want to gather attention by doing something that stands out."
"She must be why....." The girl sighed while shaking her head as the boy turned to stare at Sakura determinedly, a faint blush on his cheeks. Spandex walked up to Sakura and introduced himself.
"My name is Rock Lee. You are Sakura, right? Let's go out together! I will protect you until I die!" He exclaimed, giving her a thumbs up.
"No way......" Sakura murmured with a sweat drop. She looked horrified at the thought of it. "You're too 'unique' for my tastes." Lee seemed to go into despair at the rejection as he went to stand against the wall. Naruto quickly joined him as the Hyuga asked for Sasuke's name and not his. However, Sasuke didn't inform him of any information regarding himself so it was all for nothing.
"Sakura, that was mean. Lee seems like a nice guy." I pouted earning a glare from Sakura and a sad smile from Lee. Poor guy. He was just misunderstood for his taste in fashion. After all, he was like Uncle Guy.
"Sasuke, Naruto, Tsukiko! Let's go!" Sakura grinned, deciding to ignore my words, and with that we all turned and made our way upstairs to where the real room 301 was.Once we had registered ourselves, we soon began to leave. Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke went one way while I went to other with Hinata, Kiba, Akamaru and Shino. We had all become good friends and I felt extremely comfortable around them.
"I'm so excited for this!" Kiba exclaimed once we were out of the building. Jumping up onto his back, he didn't protest as I did so and instead started laughing.
"If you study hard enough you may pass." Shino teased in his usual stoic voice from beside us.
"You'll do well, Kiba." Hinata timidly encouraged him. Kiba pouted so I poked his cheek.
"Stop pouting you big baby. We'll all do great and pass these exams!" I cheered, a beaming smile on my face.
"Where's your team?" Shino asked. Glancing around I only shrugged in reply. Once we had registered, they all kind of left without me realising, so here I was with these guys!
"How does your father feel..... about you.... taking these exams?" Hinata smiled.
"He seems rather confident in us so I don't want to disappoint him and fail." I sighed, rubbing the back of my neck with one hand while the other was hanging down Kiba's chest as I held onto him while he gave me a piggy-back. I had never had a piggy-back before so once Kiba told me about it, he had become my very own piggy-backer. He never protested against me jumping onto his back so I never gave it any thought.
"You better not lose to me and Akamaru, Tsuki." Kiba chuckled with Akamaru letting out a bark of agreement from his place beside Kiba's feet.
"Of course I won't. After all, you lost to me in every match we've had against each other." My smirk was clear in my teasing voice which caused him to pout again. Hinata giggled while Shino's shoulders shook in silent laughter. "Now where are we going?" They all went into deep thought about it before Kiba replied.
"How about going back to mine?" He suggested.
"I have to head back and inform my mum. Sorry." Shino apologised as he headed off into a different direction.
"I have to tell my father about this as well. Sorry Kiba, Tsukiko." Hinata informed us quietly.
"It's no problem. Guess it's just us two Kiba." I grinned, giving him a little kick to the butt. He yelped and rolled his eyes, a smile tugging at his lips.
"Bye then guys. See you tomorrow!" Kiba called as he took off with me on his back. Waving back at Hinata and Shino, I clung on to the excited Inuzuka boy as we headed off in the direction of his house.
