(Naruto)

I was walking to Kankuro's room to wake them up since we had to leave soon. Once I got there, I knocked on the door a few times to get him up.
"Kankuro wake up, We gotta go if we want to be early."
He let out a simple groan as he got up. He would shuffle a little and got ready before oening the door and nodding to me. I nodded in return and went outside. When I arrived Gaara was there waiting with a bored look.
"Is he getting up?"
I looked at them and sighed before nodding.  Gaara gave a nod before vanishing into a swirl of sand. After they did I started to walk to the entrance of the school they would be hosting the first part of the exams in. I felt an energy try to force  illusion over my eyes to trick me but I shook my head and it went away. Soon after I went into the door designated for the exams.
"Get out of here kid. Didn't you read the slip? It is teams of 3 only."
Instead of listening to him I looked him dead in the eyes with a dead look that caused him to flinch.
"You will not tell me what to do. You are not my boss, you are not my Kage, and you are not above me. I am a 1 man team for a reason."
He flinched again as I walked into the room and ignored them for the day. When he entered the room, everyone looked at him confused as to why he did not have a team. After a moment, Gaara appeared with their siblings before sitting down. I decided to sit as well and ended up sitting at a window. After a while everyone arrived and I simply ignored everyone until the instructor started to explain everything.
"Listen up you little shits, this is the written exam, you all have 1 hour to complete it. If you are caught cheating, you will be kicked out. The exam has 10 points. Every question wrong is -1. If you are below 6 points, your entire team is banned from taking the rest of the exams. Leave now if you think this is not worth it."
I sighed as I prepared to take the test. As it was about to start, one of the men assigned to watch them started to eye me with a glint in their eyes. When I looked to them, they just pretend to not care about me. I knew that he was going to try and claim that I was cheating. I made no move to show that I was aware of this and quickly finished the test as it was not hard. I signaled that I was finished and since they knew of my situation they came over and checked it before nodded. 
"Contestant Cifer, failed for cheating. Leave."
I looked at him with a blank look. 
"If I cheated, how did I finish before everyone got even half done?"
"Just get out."
"No. You have falsely accused me, if you keep doing so, I will show you why even Shukaku fears me."
I said this with a even and flat tone to make it more threatening. It worked as Gaara looked u and spoke.
"It is true. Shukaku fears him greatly."
They paled and sat back down before I went back to looking out the window. As I did, I would be plotting against the snake among us. Eventually when time was up, they looked around and started to list off who would fail and pass. While I passed, 9 teams got eliminated of 40.
"Well everyone, there is one more question. If you take it and fail, you will be banned from taking any of the future exams."
This caused an outcry of anger from his words. He tried and failed to get it under control and looked to me and Gaaras team thankful that some people are not idiots. After a moment I became annoyed and released my pressure. Everyone went to the ground except the instructor, Gaara, and the girl that smelled of snakes. Everyone shut up and the instructor looked to me and nodded.
"Thank you for that mister Cifer."
I simply nodded and motioned for him to keep going which he did.
"Now, you can leave and not risk it, but if one of you do, your entire team has to leave."
When he said this, some people had left but a good bit stayed due to them having a stronger will. When they did leave, the teacher nodded before speaking.
"Since you all stayed, you passed. This was a test of will. There was no 10th question. Now the second ex-"
Before they could even finish, I sonido'd and moved him out of the way before going back to my seat. I got a look of confusion before a girl came crashing through the window past where they were standing before the instructor gave me a nod. After he did, the girl spoke up.
"Hey brats! There is more of you then last year! Man you are really losing your touch Ibiki!"
"Shut up. They have a stronger will then the last years."
She hummed a bit before looking around.
"I am the procter of the second exam, the sexy and single Anko Mitarashi! When I am through with you, the numbers here will be down to half!"
I simply looked at the with a blank look. Seeing me and Gaara both giving her a uncaring look really did not settle well with her.
"Be at the gates of training ground 44 tomorrow at 9 a.m or you are kicked out instantly. Got that?"
Everyone nodded and I went to Temari and looked at her.
"Hey, what are you going to do now."
"Hunt a snake so that my father that is sealed in me can teach me something he was meaning to ealier but couldn't get to."
"I see, want to rest with me for now?"
"Very well, that seems like a more valuable for time to be used."
She would smile and took my hand before leading me out to the hotel we stayed at to my confusion.
"I just want to lay down this time. Is that okay?"
I simply nodded and pat her head. She blushed and pouted at me.e
"Hey, I might like those but save them for home."
This caused me to chuckle before I nodded and picked her up. This caused her to yelp and blushed.
"PUT ME DOWN!!!"
"No, I must carry my sand princess to her quarters."
"Damn it! You are so lucky I love you!"
"I love you too."
After saying this, I used sonido to get us to out room faster. Once we were inside, I laid her on the bed and brought her to me as I spooned her from behind. This got a blush from her.
"Good night Naru."
"Good night Temy."
After giving our sweet good nights we slept together in bed for the night.
