"Ugghh, sometimes I wish I couldn't hear so well. He had to go and say that. Oh well, at least the exams will start soon. There is a precence that is missing, Ichi's I belive. Well, if he's late, that will be one less brat to worry about." Raiya continued listening to Rinae and Itachigo's conversation.

He wants to eat? Now?
"Shh. The tournament will begin shortly. You cannot leave!"
I said, then waited for Ichi to come.

"But im so hungery! oh well ill live"

the exam pocter tolled us it was time to start we lined up as he gav us our orders

Ichi burst through the dorrs out of breath. "Sorry I'm late!" He caught up to the others and gathered himself. "I miss anything important?" Ichi looked around at the other people and back at his companions.

"there you are slowpoke iv signed you up and no it just started"

Ichi smirked and nodded. "Sorry for the wait I've been training and got ahead of myself." He looked over at Rinae who had a slightly confused look on her face. Ichi smiled and glanced back. "I see you there..." He then looked back at the front and waited patiently.

I smiled. Everyone was probably here already. ((If you haven't posted with being here yet, we will just act as if you were here anyway.))

I looked at Ichi and said, "You're lucky you got here. We were just about to start our first Exam." I said, and then we were ushered into a different room. There were paper on every desk, by every chair, and I was insructed to sit down, one row in front of Ichi and Itachigo. People lined up along the edge, and I recognized at least three other people, including the girl from before. I hoped that she wouldn't see me. The instructor, a man with many scars, told us to answer the questions without cheating. I smiled. This was going to be easy.

Ichi sat down a couple of chairs away from Itachigo and read over the exam sheet. "Oh no...chakra questions?" He then heard the man in front warn them of cheating and how they'd be immediately kicked out. Ichi fumbled for a while and thought. "Fang!" He wispered to the Poochyena seated on the floor next to him. Fang looked up at him and smirked. Ichi nodded and looked around at the others who seemed a bit unfamiliar. Ichi smiled to himslef as he saw the girl from before from the roof. Heh...I can't til I get to fight you. It should prove to be fun.

thinking to himself (ok lets see um... i got nothing HELP!!!!)

i looked around tring to find a way to cheat as i did a kunai flew past me face "You fail!" said the procter to the student behind me. (ok thats not a option wat do i do?!?!)

I smiled, psychically and mentally. Chakra questions? Piece of cake. Now, all I had to worry about was getting the others to pass. I got an idea. I pulled chakra into my pen, and wrote the answers to the first three questions. I then breathed heavily, and focused my chakra in an invisible line that spread across the floor, reaching the boys' desks. The chakra traveled into their pens, and it wrote ontheir own, being in the boys' hands. It looked like it was the boys who were writing, and I controlled the pen freely. At the end of the three questions, I wrote on the side, It's Rinae. I got these three, and now it's your turn. Use mirrors, your eyes, ect. However, I will help you two if I need to. Don't worry, you WILL pass this exam. I then erased the message after they read it.

Ichi smiled as he read the message. Thanks Rinae He thought to himself. He looked down at Fang who was arfing quietly. "Heh heh thanks a bunch Fang. Now I just need 6, 7, 8 and 9. Got it?" Fang nodded and krept off again.

(Rinae you have out done your self)

(ok ill use my wepon summoning jutsu and while a watcher throws a kunai ill hide it behind it, haha im so clever now Rinae-hime will notice me as a equal!)

Using my knowledge and my chakra, I answered the questions quickly. Using my chakra, I had made a clone of myself from chakra and turned my real self invisible. I had then looked everywhere for the answers and found them. Sitting back down, I recalled my chakra from the clone. Smiling, I hoped that the boys would complete theirs. I sent chakra through my pen again and wrote, Need any help? I have all of the answers. =^_^= ~ Rinae.

I then erased that and wrote : If you need help, drum your fingers on the desk. I'll hear you. I erased that too.

((I outdid myself? Did I go too far?))

"and... done! yes *yawns* now ill nap till im done"

((no i say that to anyone who helps me))

Ichi sniffed the air and looked up to his right. "Hello Rinae." He wispered. "Better hope the instructor's nose isn't as good as mine." He looked back over to her seat where she sat down again. He then looked back down at his Poochyena who had delivered him yet another answer. "Thanks, Fang. If it weren't for these chakra questions I'd be fine." Ichi growled quietly to Fang.

I finished, and laid my head down. I napped until the end, but I wasn't really asleep, I was listening with my eyes closed.

((I have to be off for about 2-3 hours. Bye. ))

((Ichi, I'm a Chunin, remember? no tests for me! ))
As Raiya was watching for any cheating, she noticed Rinae in one of the front rows. 'Well, looks like she's here with her friends. Itachigo's asleep, seems the idiot finished his test then. Very clever Rinae, very clever.' While she was watching, she heard a faint shuffling noise; a Rain Ninja was attempting to look of Itachigo's paper. With a quick flick of her wrist, she sent a kunai flying by the ninja's head, "You fail. You and the rest of your squad are to leave at once."

((Oh okay. Good bye, I will be back in two hours. ))

((Haha, that doesn't mean we can't fight eventually.))

As Ichi was recovering the last of his answers from Fang, he saw a kunai hit the paper of a Rain Ninja two seats over. He quickly glanced at it, then up at Raiya. Luckily there's only one left...but I can't make Fang get it for me...it's too risky since there's only a handful of people left. Ichi shood away his Poochyena and rested his head on his hands. "Label the organs which include the most chakra flow." Well...the brain and heart...but what about the rest? He stared down at the few blanks left, but couldn't think of a single other answer. I could ask Rinae... He held his index finger above the desk and glanced up at her. No! she's asleep! This is it Ichi, we're finished. Why didn't I train in chakra when I had the chance?

I soon tired of not moving, so I opened my eyes, looked around quickly, and put my head back down, my eyes open. Itchigo was asleep, but Ichi was looking at his paper....
Oh well. If he calls me, I'll know.

Ichi layed the side his head on his desk and ran his fingers through his hair. Maybe a little relaxation will help me. Soon enough, the pencil in his hand had slipped out onto the floor with a light "tab". Ichi was fast asleep with all but the final answer filled in.

I heard a tap from behind me. Ichi had fallen asleep!! I gritted my teeth, again facing forward. I could help him...but I would risk losing. I then sighed, and laid my head back down. I made a clone of myself, and became invisible, like before. This time, I walked back over to Ichi, disguising my scent this time, although it was difficult, and grabbed his pen, making it invisible, and made a clone of the pen, still on the desk. I wrote the asnwer down quickly, my best attempt in his handwriting, and put down his pen, taking back the other clone. I then walked back to my desk, and recalled the chakra I had used. Foolproof. As I had walked away, I nudged Ichi, however. I hoped that it would wake him up.

Karachu had been watching as this all went on. He saw as the girl from the Cloud Village made a shadow clone of the pencil. She forgot the boy's teeth marks on the pencil. Tsk tsk tsk. She shouldn't stick her neck out for a kid who isn't ready to be a genin. The room was dimly lit, so shadows were in great supply here. He began to stretch his against the shadow of the front desk, then to the nearest test desk, up the side and latched onto the girl's pencil on the desk. That pencil wasn't going to move anywhere. It would be stuck tight to the desk.

If she wants to risk herself for someone like that, she better have the necessary skills to back it up. Let's see how she handles not being able to lift her pencils.

Ichi awoke to the feeling of somebody pushing him. What was that? He looked around and noticed that he was still missing answers on his papaer. Then he looked up at the clock and took a deep gulp. Only a few minutes left...what am I gonna do? He thought for a while and decided just to put down what organs he thought were most important and just pray that it would work out. Let's just hope I get lucky on this... He then glanced up and noticed that one of the inspectors had been studying him and tilted his head curiously. Oh no...please don't let him have noticed mine and Fang's plan...

Raiya noticed one of the procters looking at Ichi. 'Someone going to get nailed. Oh well, he is on Rinae's squad, what could I expect? Well, at least his snoring stopped.' She then glanced at the clock. 'Perfect, only a few more miniutes until I can get out of this room.' Yokai was watching Ichi, dead on, looking for anything suspicious.
