Yuzuki's POV

"Here in training ground 33 is the Forest of Death!" I rolled my eyes at the lady wearing NO bra under a fishnet shirt. My eyes will soon melt. I swear they will.

"This is the forest of death… Ha! You can't scare me!" Naruto pretended to be a… Chicken.

Is this kid really the Kyuubi's host? That’s not true, Shukaku must have got it wrong.

"Really?" Anko threw a kunai at him, cutting his cheak, he froze. "Little kids like you spraying that blood that I love. Get killed quickly." She appeared behind him, I turned to my team.

"I just want to go in." I said.

"Calm down Yuzuki, we will get it done quickly." Gaara told me, I sighed then nodded.

"Here in the Forest of Death, you will have 1 scroll, a heaven scroll, or an earth scroll. You must get both scrolls then make your way to the tower directly in the middle of the forest. You will  have 5 days in there." She explained.

"5 DAYS?" Ino shouted out, probably thinking about her 'precious' beauty sleep and 'precious' hair getting dirty.

"WHAT WILL WE DO ABOUT FOOD!?" Nom Choji yelled out.

"The forest is filled with food, you just need to look." Anko grinned.

"But also with dangerous plants and poisonous fruit." Kabuto pushed his glasses up.

"That’s right. You will be given a gate number and then you will go in with the scroll given to you." She explained, I rolled my eyes, why do people take so long explaining?

When she was FINALLY done I split up from the team and started walking over to Shikamaru's group.

"What are you doing Yuzuki?" Gaara asked me.

"Gathering information." I grumbled, but honestly I wasn't. He nodded and let me go.

I walked to Shikamaru's group and Ino and Choji grabbed kunai's and stood in front threatening me to come closer.

"Guys, it's okay." Shikamaru told them.

"OKAY?! Did you see what she did to Kiba and that Chunin!?!" I raised an eyebrow and nothing else.

"I want to give you guys advice." I told them, they blinked and backed down slowly, still not fully trusting me.

"Go on…"

"Whatever you do, Don't come anywhere near our team. If you do, I won't be nice." I walked away leaving them speechless.

I walked into the little hut thing and they gave us a Earth scroll. I tossed it to Gaara and he put it in his weapons pouch.

We then walked over to gate number 23 and waited for the signal. Once it was given we sprinted into the forest without another thought.

Within 10 minutes we found a team, didn't know which scroll they had, but honestly didn't care.

I felt 3 familiar chakra's but I ignored it.

I walked forward and put on a sadistic grin.

"Now which one of you has the scroll!?" They yelled out to us, rain ninja.

My sand slowly grabbed their ankles, sliding upwards and up their legs.

"WHAT?! What is this?!" They screamed loud, I grinned and crushed their legs.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" they screamed at the top of their voices.

I walked towards them and grabbed the scroll that was on the girl, a heaven scroll. Huh, just the one we need. How convenient.

They also had another one, a  another earth scroll. I don't need this one.

"Yuzuki, w-we don't need to kill them… Just let them go!" Kankuro stuttered.

"No, I need more blood." I clutched my head, it burned too much.

I put a hand out and grinned again despite the pain in my head.

"Sand Coffin!" I tightened my fist and they screamed, one last time, before the sand surrounded them with darkness and crushed them to pieces.

"Yuzuki." Gaara came up to me and put a hand on my head, "Does your head hurt?"  I nodded slowly. "It's okay, we'll kill soon." He smiled softly to me before turning and returning to his stoic expression, my head felt better and I straightened my back. I dropped the earth scroll without anyone knowing and grinned sadistically and tilted my head slightly and looked into the bushes, where I knew, Shikamaru, Ino and Choji were.

Shikamaru's POV

Yuzuki turned and gave us a sadistic grin, I gulped and shivered.

They walked away and left, I let go of the breath I had been holding for so long and collapsed on the ground, beat.

"We should have done what she told us to do! Stayed away from them! They were so scary!" Ino gulped and wrapped her hands around herself.

"I think I lost my appetite." Choji gulped and looked down on the human remains where Yuzuki crushed them in cold blood.

"This is so troublesome, and she knew we were here! What a drag…" I said.

"We had the scroll she wanted, she could have just killed us and taken our scroll though!"

"But I saw her drop something." Choji recalled.

"Yeah me too." I agreed.

"Hey guys! I found it! What she dropped!" I heard Ino shout.

"What is it?" Me and Choji got up and saw her expression, something in between surprise and relief.

"She gave us the scroll we needed, an earth scroll!" I blinked in disbelief.

"Wait…" I started.

"So that means…" Chijo gasped.

"She actually helped us." Ino smiled.

I sighed, "But here comes the hard bit, getting to the tower without people attacking us."

They nodded and we thought.

'She didn't kill us… She helped us…'

Yuzuki's POV

We arrived at the tower with no distraction, and let me say, ha, 5 days to spare!

I still had a big of a headache which Shukaku gave me, but I pretty much ignored it.

We went into one of the rooms and saw writing on the wall.

"I think we're supposed to open the scrolls now." Temari read the writing and told us.

Kankuro and Temari took the scrolls and opened them at the same time, and threw them down and jumped back.

A POOF was seen and then we saw… Baki?

"Baki-sensei?" Kankuro asked.

"Well done, you passed the second exam with 5 days to spare, the fastest, blah blah blah, now, everyone still remember the plan in the 3rd exams? You must all get though, people tell me if there are too many people at the end of the 2nd exam we will be taking preliminaries. Now, you guys settle in and see you in 5 days." He poofed out leaving us blinking.

"Good thing no one had any questions." Temari rolled her eyes.

"How long?" I asked.

"3 days, I can't believe we have to wait 3. Whole. Damn. Days." Kankuro grumbled.

"Oh suck it up Kankuro." Temari hissed.

"Yeah yeah, well, we have to go settle in." Kankuro threw himself down on the ground and collapsed on the bed. Huffing.

"Lazy ass." Temari muttered.

"Violent hag." Kankuro's voice was muffled by the pillow but his words were heard.

"YOU!" Temari threw herself at Kankuro and hit him on the head with her fan hard.

"OUCH YOU BITCH!" Kankuro yelled.

"YOU BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU CALL YOUR OLDER SISTER A HAG! Though I don't mind the violent bit..." Temari said, pausing and then hitting Kankuro with her fan again.

"Kami save me... Temari is hitting me with a fan, Baki's gone, and Yuzuki and Gaara are just staring, take a sacrifice... Like Matsuri, no-one likes Matsuri... Don't let me die today! I haven't seen Yuzuki and Gaara get married yet!" He wailed.

Me and Gaara's faces tinted red and we 'humphed'.

"Ugh you annoy me sometimes I swear." Temari got off Kankuro's bed and put her fan down. "I need to sleep, beating Kankuro up took a lot out of me, see you in the morning guys!" Temari collapsed on the bed as well and light snoring was soon heard from both of them.

"Want to sleep?" Gaara asked?

"Uh... Yeah." I said, remembering what the compensation for sleeping was for us.

Close.

Very Close.

Oh well darn...

I lay on the bed and Gaara followed, wrapping his warm arms around me and pulling me close, he buried his head in m neck, I felt his breath and his slow but steady heartbeat.

*SNAP*

*GIGGLE*

*SNAP*

"TEMARI! KANKURO!" I heard Gaara hiss.

"Damn! Not again!" I heard Kankuro mutter.

"Just go to sleep or he will kill you!" Temari grumbled.

Oh how my life is.
