*Akari*

Ten rookies. That's how many would be participating in the chunin exams. Team 8 walked in with our heads high, and our anxiety even higher. We were all nervous for what was about to come our way. We ignored it though, and kept pushing forward because that's what you're supposed to do as a ninja. You don't back down.

Two guys about our age stood in front of the door, blocking anyone from being able to get in. A group of three leaf ninja were trying to get past them but they kept pushing them backwards. The three looked like a tough group. A guy in a green jumpsuit, a girl with two really cute buns placed in her hair, and another guy who was wearing all plain colors but his eyes.. They were like Hinata's. I nudged her with my elbow and motioned to the strange boy. All Hinata did was nod her head slightly. So he was another Hyuga, another holder of the byakugan.

The girl with the two buns walked forward and one of the jerks blocking the door punched her in the cheek. At that point I was livid so I shoved through everyone and walked up to the two in front of the door.

"Hey idiots why don't you move so we can all start this exam." I snapped, and the one went to hit me but I easily blocked his hand then kicked his feet out from under him.

"Akari!" I snapped my head back and saw Naruto and the rest of Team 7 staring at me.

"Don't even bother with these losers Akari, this is clearly a genjutsu, this isn't the third floor it's the second, right Sakura?" Sasuke looked back at his pink haired teammate and she looked at him oddly before nodding her head.

"Yeah, yeah you're right, this is the only the second one." Sakura nodded confidently, the poor girl didn't have any idea. The sign above the door changed from 301 to 201 and I stared in shock. How did I not catch that?

I turned my attention back towards the crowd standing behind me and walked back towards my group.

"Hey, pigtails." I heard a voice and saw it came from the Hyuga boy. I had to admit he was pretty attractive. Then again Hinata was gorgeous so it was no surprise that he would be the male form of gorgeous.

"What is your name?" He spoke and I stared at him for a second, and then smiled.

"I am Akari Uzumaki, and you are?"

"Neji Hyuga."

I smiled at him and turned on my heels to walk back to where the rest of my team were waiting for me. I wrapped my arm around Hinata's shoulder and walked with her proudly. I glanced back one last time and saw the Hyuga boy watching me as I left.

Hmph, things were starting to get interesting.

I jumped onto Kiba's back and wrapped my legs around his waist as we walked over to the other six rookies. I mean since Ino threw herself on Sasuke it was acceptable for me to do this.. Right? Akamaru didn't even mind me being this close to his rightful spot, he just licked my cheek when I stretched my face up.

"All of us huh?" Naruto grumbled, his ego probably dropping that they weren't the only rookies to make it into the exam. Kiba just let out a laugh.

"Yep! All ten rookies back together again." Kiba laughed, and I jumped down from my spot on his back after I realized Sasuke hadn't stopped glaring at me.
