Sakura was stronger. Still pretty helpless, but she could hold her own against me (going easy) for about a minute. I was actually pretty proud of her. Sasuke, Naruto and I were waiting outside the academy for Sakura. I hope she didn't back out, especially after all that hard work I put into her.

I looked up, seeing Sakura walk up. "Hey, Sakura-chan, you're late!" Naruto calls. 

"Uh, right," She mumbles, waving, "Sorry guys," She looks at Sasuke. "Good morning Sasuke-kun," She says calmly, carefully.

He glances at her, "Yeah," What's up with her? She's... different. He thought.

We were traveling up to room 301, but someone had placed a genjutsu on floor two and was blocking the doorway. "What a waste of time," I yawned. I can sense that they're chunins anyway, just coming up here to scope out the new genin.

The boy hit some girl with buns. "Man, that's harsh," Somebody commented. Harsh? Seriously? Look at that girl, she's obviously faking. I think she can take a hit. 

"Did you say harsh?" The boy said, reading my mind. "Delicate little girls don't belong here," He insulted. We walk up. I hang towards the back of our teammates. No need to be noticed, and I'm watching their backs.

"Nice speech," Sasuke droned, "Now, both of you, step aside and let me through,"

"While your at it, reverse the gen jutsu. We can see through it anyway," I pipe up. 

"So you saw through our genjutsu, eh?"

"Go ahead Sakura. I'm sure you saw it before any of us did," Sasuke says.

"Huh?" Sakura questioned.

"You have the sharpest eyes and best analytical skills of anyone on our squad. You must have seen this coming a mile away," Sasuke complimented. I smiled to myself. You saw she was nervous,  unsure of herself, and you helped her. Nice going, Sasuke. 

"I must have?" She asks, caught off guard, "Well sure. Of course, sure. I spotted it right away. This is only the second floor," She smirks.

"Right!" Naruto nods in agreement. They release the genjutsu, and one of the chunin/boys goes to kick Sasuke. But a flash of green stops them. My eyes widen. He's fast. I smirk. But not as fast as me. 

Okay, so I would be barely faster then him. But when I'm flying, no one can match my speed. I'm content with that. But he stopped both their kicks like nothing. He has some serious chakra in his arms. Or he's just really strong...

"Hey, what happenned 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?" A Hyuga asked.

"Never mind, it's over, forget it," The bun girl sighed. The boy in the green jumpsuit was blushing, a determined look in his eye. He made his way over to us. Hey, where did the bruises he had before? Were they fakes? Sasuke thought.

The boy in the green jumpsuit stood in front of Sakura. I was slightly behind her, looking around in boredom. I glanced at the boy. Holy shit, he's tall! Or I'm short... I was shorter than Naruto, and that Gaara kid. I frowned. Am I shorter than everyone? Not fair!

"My name is Rock Lee. Your name is Sakura, right?" Sakura stared at him, not knowing what to make of this situation. "Please be my girlfriend! I vow to protect you with my life!" He said with a cheesy smile and wink. 

"Defibitely... not," Sakura replied. You can't blame the girl, she doesn't even know the guy. 

Rock Lee looks depressed now. "Why?"

"Because your a weirdo," She says harshly.

Lee makes a sound of dissapointment. and Naruto laughs at his pain. Sasuke disses the Hyuga, and we finally leave. God, so many hold ups! Sakura grabs Naruto and Sasuke and pulls them away. I follow behind them, and throw an apologetic look over my shoulder at the genin.

"Hey you! With the attitude! Hold on!" I don't turn around at Rock Lee's voice. Me? Attitude? No... I went and leaned up against a piller. Rock Lee was up a level higher than us, but he jumped down. Naruto charged him, but was easily pushed down. A taijutsu type, eh?

"Hn. This'll be fun. Let's do it," Sasuke declared. He prepares himself. I cock my head head to the side, then run slowly over to Lee. Eveyone gasps at my speed. Hm, at least, I thought I was being slow. 

"He doesn't stand a chance, does he?" I whisper into Lee's ear. He shakes his head.

"I do not believe so," He says. I nod.

"I'll save him if I have to," I warn. Lee nods.

"I understand the risks and consequences," He assures me.

I shrug. "If you say so," Then step back towards Naruto. Sasuke sprints towards Lee. Here he comes! Forgive me Gai-sensei. I know it is forbidden. But I may have to break the rules and use that jutsu! Lee thinks.

Sasuke goes to punch him, but Lee has already dodged. I sigh. Sasuke has no chance of beating Lee at his current level. Sasuke must get faster and stronger to hope to beat Lee. Sasuke gets kicked in the face. 

I glance at the time. A fight is boring when you've predicted every move in advance.Sasuke acticates his Sharingan. That won't help, Baka. Your eyes will be able to keep up, but not your body! Lee beats up Sasuke until he delivers a kick to his chin, throwing him into the air. 

I tense, I may have to save Sasuke here. Lee appears behind Sasuke, unraveling his bandages. I jump up, pull Sasuke away from Lee. I pin his bandages to the wall with a Kunai. Lee's eyes widen as he stares at my smirking eyes in shock. So fast! And she is so skilled! She stopped my Dancing Leaf Shadow as though it was nothing! He thought.

I landed on the ground, crouched, allowing Sasuke to regain his footing. I look up to see a giant talking turtle, with Gai's presence inside. I stand up. "I'm out of here, guys," I say, turning tail, "Meet you upstairs!" I call, running away.

I skid to a stop in front of Kakashi. "Where's the rest of your teammates?" He asked.

"They're being held up by your self-proclaimed rival. What's wrong with that guy?" I ask.

Kakashi rubs his forhead. "I have no idea," He mutters. We wait patiently for my teammates together. They finally walk up the hallway. They stopped in front of us, and I stood up

"Glad you came, Sakura. For your sake, and the others," Kakashi says seriously. He goes on to explain the fact that you needed a team to compete in the chunin exams. They all looked shocked. "Sakura... Naruto.... Sasuke.... and Keira. I'm proud. I couldn't ask for a better team."

This means a lot to me, seeing I really mechakucha* the teams. I smile hesitantly at Kakashi. "We won't let you down sensei, believe it!" Sakura and Sasuke open the doors, and Naruto walks through. I wait for all three to enter before walking in myself. That takes the attention off me.

We walk in to see a crowd of genin waiting in the room. I stand slightly away from my shouting team, studying the new genin. I begin shaking slightly. This exam gives us the go ahead to kill... and I can't wait. 

I'm not blood thirsty, or anything... well, maybe a little. But after not killing anyone for seven years... well, you begin to miss it slightly. It was one of the ways that I released the terrible emotions I kept bottled up inside.

I notice a silver haired boy walking up to my team. I tune in, strolling closer to my teammates. "These ar my, ninja info cards." He sets the cards on the ground. (((( Love the way Kabuto says that. So nerdy! My, ninja info cards. Sorry, won't interrupt again. Pinky promise))))

"Kabuto, Do me! Do me!" Naruto shouts. ((((That's what she said. Sorry! That's the last interruption!))) 

Kabuto sends a flare of chakra into the card and reads out the info. Suddenly Naruto drags me forwards. "Do her! I want to know what she was doing when she wasn't in the village!" I shushed him. There was no need to tell everybody I wasn't originally part of the village.

"Hm, okay. What's your name?" Kabuto asks.

"Keira Boukyaku," I reply after a hesitation. He sends chakra into the cards then frowned.

"One moment. It doesn't seem to be working. Let me try again," He said. "That's very strange. I can't find any information on you," He studies me closely.

"Uh, well, I created my name myself, so..." I fidget slightly.

"That may be a reason. Oh well, what does it matter? Any other info you guys want?" He asks. I'll report her to Orochimaru, just in case. Kabuto thought. Orochimaru, Orochimaru. Where have I heard that before?

I snapped back to reality as Kabuto is attacked. His glasses crack, and he throws up. Suddenly there's a puff of smoke at the front of the classroom. "Alright you baby-faced degenerates! Pipe down!" The procter shouts.

I freeze in terror, my teammates sending questioning glances my way. THat voice... I'd know it anywhere... my interrogater... the one who broke my arm...

"I'm Ibiki Morino, this exams procter... and from now on... your worst enemy!"

Let the hell begin.
