Rabbit Princess [Gaara] [2]

☾ 3 ☽

Tsukiko looked through the list of Genins that were going to be taking their first exam as she sat next to Izumo and Kotetsu in the entrance of the exam hall that she had created just days earlier. She looked up when she saw Sakura, Ino and Choji come in and smiled, "Good morning, everyone,"

"Good morning, Tsukiko!" Sakura greeted back before turning to look at Ino and Choji. "Looking forward to doing this with you!" Tsukiko smiled wider at them.

"Let's kick some butt!" Ino agreed immediately while Choji nodded with his two teammates. Tsukiko looked forward to what they will do with Shikamaru's clever exam. Sakura, Ino and Choji gave in their passes.

"All right, so the three of you are taking the exams, correct?" Izumo asked as he accepted their passes and gave them to Tsukiko, who assessed them and ticked off their names. "You've been signed up,"

"There's no trick this time, like preventing us from submitting an application, is there?" Sakura questioned. Tsukiko glanced at the two Chunin males.

"The exam is up to the proctors-in-charge," Kotetsu replied. He held up the box with three lots in them. "Okay, pull the lots," They did as they were asked.

Tsukiko watched as Sakura pulled out a three, Ino pulled out a two and Choji pulled out a one. That didn't mean much but it would be interesting to see how they would react and who they would be left in the room with. Tsukiko noted them down as well.

"Return the lots and please proceed to the classroom that you picked," Kotetsu told them. Once more, the three of them did as they were asked and returned the lots back into the box.

"They're so polite, it's quite creepy," Choji said. Tsukiko chuckled in agreement. The two Chunin males had been rather frightening two years ago.

"Did Shikamaru and Tsukiko plan this?" Ino thought out loud and looked toward the white-haired girl but she only gave them a closed-eyes smile. "What are you two thinking..." But they walked off from there.

"Next please!" Tsukiko called out to the Genins gathered outside. She watched as three rather unique individuals walked into the hall and toward their desk. She furrowed her eyebrows at their Chakra levels.

"That girl," Okuninushi spoke up. Tsukiko looked at the green-haired girl in front of her as she and her teammates gave in their passes. "She is a Jinchuriki – of the Seven-Tails, or Chomei," Tsukiko averted her eyes away.

"Is she really?" Tsukiko whispered inside her head as she took the passes from Izumo and assessed them. "Fuu, huh? I can't believe there's another Jinchuriki here... If Akatsuki learns of this, they will love to come by and pick Gaara, Fuu and I up,"

"Stop thinking of miserable deaths all the time, Usahime," Usajii scolded her. "Nonetheless, it seems like Chomei has been in her for a long time. I liked that guy, he was a bit bratty like Naruto at times because of his happy-go-lucky personality but he was generally pleasant,"

"You're the entrants from Takigakure?" Izumo said as he waited for Tsukiko to check them off. "You've been signed up," Tsukiko smiled at Fuu, who was looking at her with interest. But it was clear that Fuu didn't know of her.

"All right, please pull out a lot," Kotetsu said, putting forward the box again. Fuu and her teammates Kegon and Yoro. Tsukiko was a bit wary of their Chakra levels. They didn't seem like simply Genins, their Chakra was more.

Tsukiko frowned as she looked at the passes once more and then glanced at the two males. They seemed to have noticed her suspicious looks for they quickly drew their lots and swept away from there, taking Fuu along, who seemed like she was about to off speaking.
