Chapter 2

3rd P.O.V
Years have passed and Saori is now 10 years old. She learned to ignore the haters, the looks and the whispers.
She's in a team with a Hyuuga Shin and Uchiha Izumi. She liked Shin and were good friends with him but wasn't very fond of Izumi.
The teams were going to take the final part of the Chunnin Exams today, she and Shin were excited and confident while Izumi not so much.

Saori P.O.V

- Do we really have to? – Izumi asked.

- We already passed phased one and two. – I said.

- It would be stupid to give up now. Don't you think? – Shin said.

- F-Fine. – Izumi said.

We were walking when suddenly.

- Gotta go! – Izumi said.

- Huh? – Shin said.

We saw her going to Itachi.

- Don't be late! – I said to her.

- Fine! – she answered annoyed.

- What does she sees in him? – Shin asked.

- He's smart and talented. – I answered.

- You too? – Shin asked.

- Nope! Just answering you. I like fighting and training with him though, it's challenging. – I said.

- I see. – Shin said.

- Why don't you just tell her? – I said casually.

- Huh?! W-What? – Shin said.

- You like her. Why not tell her? – I asked.

- Because she's all over pony tail there. – he said.

I sweatdropped.

- Just tell her Shin. – I said.

- Fine...I-I'll do it after we become chunnins. – Shin said.

- Good for you. – I said.

- Anyway. You're alone today? – Shin asked.

- Yup. My parents are on a mission. – I answered.

- I see. Well, I'm going home and get prepared. You? – Shin said.

- Same. See you soon. – I said.

- Bye. – Shin said.

I went home and started to prepare weapons and all I thought I was going to need.

- Well, that will do. – I said.

I looked at the time.

- Well, gotta go! – I said and left.

I started running when I stumbled against someone.
I looked up.

- Oh...sorry Itachi. – I said.

- It's okay. Let me help you. – he said and gave me his hand and helped me up.

- Thanks. – I said.

- No problem. Were you going to the last part of the exam? – he asked.

- Yeah. – I said.

- Can we walk together? – he asked.

- S-Sure, but weren't you with Izumi? Don't tell me that she's going to be late?! – I said.

- Huhhh...I don't know. I talked with her a bit but then left to train so I could be prepared. – he said.
