...❝The Chunin Exam (Part 2)❞...
SHIORI POV
Chunin Exam Day arrives. I have breakfast with my family
"Shiori's. You better not fail. I want the best in the Chunin Exam. I don't want you to embarrass Hyuga's name. Did I make myself clear?" my father said firmly
"yes, father" I replied
"Look at your brother and sister. They passed their first experiment. We hope you do the same" said the mother
"Yes mother" I replied
"That's our daughter" the mother smiled, pleased with my answer
"You better do the same and pass one day a little brother" said the older brother
"Mmm" he nodded, chewing his food
*Ding dong*
Mom got up and headed to the door
A few moments later. I went back to the kitchen with Sasuke
"Sasuke" I walked up to him and hugged him
"I hope I'm not interrupting" Sasuke said
"You can never interrupt. You're always welcome" mom smiled
"You've eaten, Sasuke? Join us" bring your sister
"Thank you for the offer but I ate before coming here" Sasuke replied
"Saga Shiori's okay?" father says
"I will" Sasuke smiled
We said goodbye and walked to our meeting place
•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•
Naruto arrived a few minutes after us. Now we see Sakura walking towards us
"Sakura! Hey, you're late!" naruto said cheerfully
"really. Uh sorry guys" said Sakura
He looked at Sasuke with a worried expression
"Good morning Sasuke" she said as usual
'What's wrong with him? He's acting different'
•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•
We climbed the stairs, we heard a commotion. And I saw Lee on the floor
"A very good speech. Now you two step aside and let me through" Sasuke said as we walked towards them
"And while you do it. Turn Genjutsu around" he added
I nodded
"After all, we can see your illusion. We're going to go to the third floor" Sasuke finished
"What does that mean? We're on the third floor" said someone from the crowd
"I know" someone agreed
"alright. So you noticed Genjutsu huh?" said one of the two
"Please. Tell them Shiori. I'm sure you realized it before anyone else did. You have the sharpest eyes and the best analytical skills in our squad. You must have seen this from afar" Sasuke told me
"Rubber. Once we got here I realized it. My eyes were very sharp, I easily noticed the smallest detail. It's only the second floor" I said with a smile
The two men turned Genjutsu around
"Are we not smart? So you see an illusion. Now let's see you handle this!" one of them moves in to kick Sasuke
They would kick each other, Lee stopped them with his hands
SAKURA POV
' How did he do that? I thought he was just a weakling who was hit like that but he was as fast as Sasuke.
SASUKE POV
I loosened my muscles and saw the man who stopped us
'He stopped my kick. That's some chakra in his arm'
"Hey. What happened to the plan? I thought you were the one who said not to stand out and not let anyone see our skills" said a man with long hair and the same eyes as Shiori
'A Hyuga'
SHIORI POV
When I heard Neji's voice, I saw him and began to admire his prowess and presence. Our eyes met and we nodded at each other
'His presence is very godly! Seeing him is to die for!'
"I know but" said Lee then he clenched his fists
SASUKE POV
'Hey, what happened to the bruise he had before? They're goin. Are they wrong?'
SAKURA POV
The man with the bushy eyebrows walked towards me
"My name is Rock Lee. You're Sakura right? Shiori called you before" he said
"Huh?" I looked at him confused
"Please be my girlfriend! I swear to protect you with my life!" he stated
"definitely. No, I said briefly
"Why?" he asked sadly
"Because you're a freak" I said rudely
Naruto started laughing
SHIORI POV
Neji and Ten Ten walked up to us
"Hey you. Here" Neji called Sasuke
"What's your name?" she asked
NARUTO POV
"Hmm?" I saw them
'Again?! It was always about Sasuke!'
SHIORI POV
"It is courtesy to give your own name before asking others' names" Sasuke said straightforwardly
"Ahh" I looked at him worriedly
'No! Sasuke'
"Hey, you're a beginner, aren't you? How old are you?" ask Neji
"I'm under no obligation to answer" Sasuke said
I panicked inside
"What's that?" Neji asked, annoyed
THE TEN POV
'*chuckling* funny' I thought as I looked at the man Neji was with
SHIORI POV
I can't take it anymore. I stepped up and bowed
"I'm sorry for Neji's attitude" I said
Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura looked at me in surprise
"You know Shiori?" ask Sasuke
"Oh yes. Lee also mentioned you earlier" Sakura said, recalling Lee's words
"Yes. He's the guy I told you about. The person in my clan whom I admire very much" I said happily
"He's the only Neji. He's talented, smart and cool" I said proudly
"So this guy is the girlfriend you're talking about?" ask Neji
"Yes. His name is Sasuke" I smiled
"Hn" Sasuke stood beside me
I giggled
We saw Naruto and Lee both leaning against the wall grimly
"Freak?" said Lee
"Nobody wants to know my name" Naruto said
"Hey! Naruto, Shiori, Sasuke. Come on, let's go" Sakura said
We held hands and started walking
Sasuke - Shiori - Sakura - Naruto
"See you later, buddy. Bye Lee, Ten Ten, Neji" I turned and said this
Then turn my head back in front of me
SASUKE POV
We reached the stairs and we started walking up
'So this is a very bad Chunin Exam huh? Ha. It's a freak show'
I grinned as the faces of Neji, Rock Lee, and Gaara came to my mind
