Running Up That Hill. Naruto Story. Book 1

When Pigs Fly

5 Days Later

Sakura and me walk up to Sasuke and Naruto.
"Alexis, Sakura, hey, you're late." Naruto says.
"Uh right." Sakura says as we stop in front of them. Sakura looks at Sasuke, who is currently looking at the ground. "Good morning Sasuke." She says. Sasuke looks at her.
"Yeah." He says. I tsk at him and shake my head.
"Good morning to you to Sasuke." I say, he looks at me and blushes. I smile at Naruto.
"Morning Naruto." I say.
"Morning." Naruto says happily.
"Kay then, since pleasantries have been exchanged, let's go." I say as I walk away.

We walk over to the room we're suppose to be in and see two kids guarding it. A group of kids surrounding them. Tenten and Lee sit on the floor, probably pushed by the two guarding the door.
"For Chunin it's always life or death." says the kid wearing a blue cap over his head.
"You think it's a joke? Chunin are qualified to lead missions." Says the other kid with bandages on either side of his face. "The lives of your squad members are in your hands, so you better be tough enough to take the heat. Delicate little girls, don't belong here."Ok, NOW, I'm p!ssed.
"We're just thinning out the herd, you won't pass anyway so just go home and play with your dolls.' The guy with the cap says. Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and I step forward.
"Fvck off." I say, sounding annoyed. It's goes quiet, and the two guards look at me.
"What did you just say?" Bandages say. I look at him.
"Are you deaf? You're both being morons, and s3xist pigs. So fvck off, and step aside so we can get through." I growl. Sasuke steps up beside me.
"And while you're at it, reverse the genjutsu. We can see through your illusion anyway." Sasuke says. I nod.
"We're going to the third floor, not the second. Good job though, you had a lot of people fooled." I say. Kids murmur behind us.
"What does she mean? We're on the third floor." One guys says. The two guards smile.
"Well well." The bandages guy says.
"So you noticed the genjutsu eh." The guy in the cap says. Sasuke looks at Sakura and smiles.
"Go ahead and tell them Sakura. I'm sure you saw it before anyone else did." Sasuke says. I look at Sakura and smile encouragingly.
"Heh?" Sakura says.
"You do have the sharpest eyes on our squad, you must have seen this coming a mile away." He says.
"I, must have?" Sakura says. And for a second nobody says anything. Then Sakura smiles knowingly, and closes her eyes. "Well sure." She opens her eyes. "Of course, sure, I spotted it a mile away. This is only the second floor. Right." She says. The genjutsu is released, showing the room number 201, not 301.
"Huh, well aren't we the smart ones?" Bandages say mockingly. "So you notices and illusion. Now let’s see you deal with this!" He yells about to kick. Sasuke see's it and starts to kick to block it. Lee appears in the middle of them, holding both of their foots mid air.
"What the hell?" I whisper. Sasuke and the other guy pull their legs away. Neji and Tenten walk forward.
"Hey, what happened to the plan? I thought you were the one who said to keep a low profile and don't let anyone see our skill level?" Neji says.
"I know but..." Lee says ashamed.
"Never mind, it's over, forget it." Tenten says shaking her head. Lee see's Sakura and blushes. I nudge her and she looks at me questioningly. I lean forward, my mouth close to her ear. Naruto and Sasuke look at us, and blush.
"Here he comes." I say smiling. I lean away and Sakura looks at me. Lee starts to walk over to us.
"Wha-"
"My name is Rock Lee, you are Sakura, right?" He asks. Sakura glances at me then back to Lee.
"Huh?" She says. Lee blushes and smiles at her.
"Please be my girlfriend!" He says happily. "I vow to protect you with my life."
Sakura looks sick for a second.
"Definitely... not?" She says to him. Lee looked so sad for a second I had to take a step back.
"Why?" He asks, sounding not so happy anymore.
"Because you're a weirdo." She says disgustedly. Naruto laughs.
Neji walks up behind Sasuke.
"Hey you, over here." Neji says meanly. All of us look at him, Sakura and Lee forgotten. "what’s your name?" He asks Sasuke. Naruto makes a noise and I look over at him. He has fire coming out of his eyes, his fist up, and is glaring at Sasuke. I would hate to be Sasuke right now.
"It's common courtesy to give your own name, before asking someone else’s." Sasuke says. Neji ignores him and looks at me.
"What's yours?" He asks.
"We all went to the same academy together, soooo shouldn't you know our names?" I state. Neji glares at me, I glare back.
"Hey, you both are rookies aren't you? How old are you two anyway?" Neji asks.
"I'm not obliged to answer." Sasuke says.
"What was that?" Neji says, mad. Tenten giggles behind him and I roll my eyes. Neji looks at me, waiting for me to tell him how old we are. I raise my eyebrow, making it clear I'll answer him when pigs fly. But since fire is STILL coming out of Naruto's eyes, anything is possible. I turn away from them.
"Hey, were are you going?! You didn't answer my questions." Neji says. I shrug and keep walking.
"I've grown bored with this conversation." I say. "Bye."
As I walk away. I see Lee and Naruto facing the wall, clearly depressed.
"Uh weirdo?" Lee says.
"Uuuuh, no one wants to know MY name." Naruto says.
