Shadow (book 3)

Written test

          Rei was right. They want us to do something even tho they said we'd be punished for it, to cheat. I could sense a couple different people whose chakra was more refined than others. I got a very bad feeling about a couple of the participants and decided to stay away from them. Trying to figure out how to get the answers off the right person.
      I didn't have any clan abilities like being able to see people's chakra or have an animal to tell me what they see. If it was darker in here then maybe I had something to help me, but it was way too bright in here. I couldn't sense movement of certain limbs yet, I could only sense if they were there and if they moved a distance.
      I focus, eyes kept on my paper, on the sound of the pencil on paper. I focused on one person, the sounds of their pencil moving in a certain way across the paper, I used that to right on my paper. Once I was finished I unfocused on the one sound and the rush of all the other sounds made my head hurt.
      I layer my head down on the desk, waiting for the "tenth question" whatever that was going to be.
     As the instructor was explained the tenth question I looked around, I spot Chi peeking into the little window in the door. A couple teams start leaving and the group started thinning out, until the Naruto boy yelled out. Even I would have to admit he made me sit up straighter, more determined.
      After Naruto's little show a woman came through the window. Anko, our next introctor.

        The sun had gone down a while ago, casting the village in dim moonlight. I could see the glow of my red eyes in the reflection of the window, pupils slightly slimed into fat slits. A cross between a cat and human eye, that only appeared in the darkness.
      Chi slept soundly in her bed with Kira nowhere to be seen. I sneak in and set up a prank, one that will wake her up quickly. I finished it off with a note and left to the forest to wait. I didn't mind waiting for a couple hours for her to come, I entertained myself by copying her bingo book that I had taken from her place.
        I sneak my arms around her shoulders and rest my chin on her head, "I see your hair and eyes have changed. It fits you." She turns and gives me a hard wack to the back to the head.
       "The dripping effect was real mean. We were trying to sleep." Her red eyes blazing with anger. Not a morning person.
        I stop rubbing my sore head, "Aw but Chi-Chan you know me. Also you shouldn't sleep so much. Besides I won't be bothering you with pranks for a bit, and you're so cute when you're upset." I gush while rubbing my cheek to hers.
      "Stop that, and don't call me Chi-chan." She pushes me away.
         "Aww is my little sis getting upset," I coo, "Where is Kira?" I look around noticing that she was still not here, she's always with Chi.
           "I don't know, probably out getting something." She says with a shrug.
    "Hmmm, that seems different from when you were younger." I ponder.
        "Well a lot has changed since the last time we saw each other." It wasn't that long ago.
       "Yes I can see that," I lift her hair, making it uncover her eye and face, "your hair and eyes, for one thing, are different."
    "That's two things, but yes, they are different and you know why."
      "Yes," I pause, my ears twitch, "well I have to go now, team's calling me, tell Kira I said hello."  With that I disappear into the shadows, slipping away from view. My team were wondering where I was. Guess it's time for the second part of the chunin exams. The forest of death, oh joy.
