On the fifth day, all the remaining from the second stage gather. I stood at the end, All the genin team can see that I'm the one man team. The hokage gave his speech as usual and announce that we'll be having a preliminary round. Then another leaf Jonin came and introduce himself as Hayate. He'll be our proctor or judge I guess for this round.

"Now anybody who wants to quit, Now's your chance. Please raise your hand" Hayate said.

That Kabuto guy raise his hand.

"Kabuto-niisan?!! Why?! I thought you want to pass this test!!" Naruto protest.

"Sorry, Naruto. I cant, I feel weak already" He answered.

"Yakushi Kabuto from leaf huh? Okay..." Hayate jot down his name.

Naruto look sad... but I guess I cant help it but make him feel more sad.

"Me..." I raise my hand.

"Senna-chan!! You too?!" Naruto look at me.

I smile sadly at him.

"Sorry Naruto... I cant continue anymore" I said.

"B-but you were perfectly fine previously...." Naruto trail off.

In truth, I really cant, I used up too many chakra fighting Orochimaru. I cant risk my health knowing he's still in this village and might be in this room as well.

I walk and stood beside Hokage-sama.

"Oi! Why are you there?! Just go out already!! You're not even a official ninja!!" One of the leaf nin from Kabuto team shouted.

Everyone look at me in curious. I reach my hand towards my pouch and took out the headband Hokage-sama gave me on the first day. I tied it on my forehead.

"Who said I wasn't?" I ask.

When Senna quit, it shock alot of people in the room. Even The Hokage. When one of the nin shouted and question Senna, She answer by putting the leaf headband in her forehead.

You can see the faces on the Hokage and most of the leaf jonin there had a smirk, a smile or a proud look on his or her face. Especially the Hokage.

"Uhm, Now... lets start the preliminary round shall we?" Hayate said.

The big screen appear to see which pair appear first.

"Uchiha Sasuke and Yoroi Akadou. The rest please go up" Hayate said.

Senna and Kakashi stayed.

"I'm guessing you want to talk to me since you stayed" Sasuke said.

"Thats right. Dont use your sharingan. I know about the curse mark" Kakashi said.

"It'll make you feel pain more" Senna continued.

Sasuke nod and the other two was about to go up but Sasuke grab Senna's arm.

"You okay?" Sasuke ask in concern.

Senna smiled and nod.

"I'm just tired, and my sickness kick in, thats why I have to quit" She said.

Sasuke nod.

"Thats good. I was worried... about you" Sasuke said.

"Thanks for worrying... and good luck" She said.

Sasuke did his usual Uchiha Smirk.

"Thanks"

Senna went up and stand beside Sasuke.

Just when the match start, Sasuke already started losing. He's too weak to fight.

I grip the railing hard.

"Why...why is all the Uchiha so stuborn..." I whispered.

"Because its in their blood" Kakashi answered.

I look at him shock, Shock that he can hear what I said.

"Tch, Oi! Sasuke!! Are you even an Uchiha?!! You're so weak!!!" Naruto shouted.

That Yoroi guy was about to blow one last kick when Sasuke countered it.

"Shut up dope!" Sasuke shout back.

He activate his sharingan and did this attack.

"Thats my--" Lee said in shock.

'They fought before? Ignore that! I told him not to use Sharingan!!' I thought.

But before Sasuke can finish his attack, his curse mark appear.

My eyes widen, I wanted to jump down but Kakashi held me back.

"Just hold on a second...." He said.

Then Sasuke supress his curse mark and did the finishing blow.

He easily surpress the curse mark...

Hayate check on the opponent.

"Uchiha Sasuke, You win" Hayate announce.

Sasuke was about to collapse but Kakashi manage to hold him still.

I jump down and check on him.

"You okay?" I ask.

"yeah, Just tired" He answered.

"Senna, I'll be bringing Sasuke so you stay here in my place okay?" Kakashi ask.

"But--"

"You dont have to worry, I'll take care of him" Kakashi said.

"Oi, At least let me see the preliminary finish first" Sasuke protest.

"Nope, we need to seal that curse mark, then bring you to hospital so your girlfriend wont be too worry" Kakashi said with that stupid close eye smile of his.

I blush.

'Why? Why does everytime someone tease us about being a couple make me blush?!' I turn around and walk away.

"You better make sure he's okay!!" I said.

"Okay~" Kakashi said and teleport away.

"Senna, Where did Kakashi bring Sasuke-kun?" Sakura ask.

"Ah, to the hospital. dont worry to much" I said.

She nod.

"Okay, continue on to the next round. Zaku Abumi vs Aburame Shino" Hayate said.

Lets just say Shino defeat that Zaku guy with ease and Kakashi came back already.

"Sensei! How's Sasuke?!" Naruto ask.

"Ah, he's resting at the hospital" He said.

Both of them sigh in relief but I look at Kakashi.

He realise I'm looking at him and he whispered to me.

"Dont worry, There's anbu guarding" He said.

I nod, Satisfied with his answer.

Next match up is that Kankuro guy vs Misumi Tsurugi. One of Kabuto's teammate.

If I'm not mistake Kankuro's a puppet user. The match finish in just a few second with Kankuro winning. Kankuro deceive the opponent with his puppet and strangle him.

"Next match is Yamanaka Ino vs Haruno Sakura" Hayate announce.

I look at her. She seems worry if she can do it or not.

I place my hand on her shoulder.

"Sakura, You're strong. Go show her what you're made off" I said.

She smile.

"Thanks, Senna. I appreciate it" She said and jump down.

"When are both of you in good term?" Kakashi ask.

"I guess during the second exam. When the boys are out, both of us have to take care of them" I said.

"I see. Thats good" Kakashi said.

This two girls seems to be rivals. Althought what they're fighting for is Sasuke.

I sweatdrop.

"Dont they know that he's taken?" I ask out loud.

"Eh? He is? Who, Senna-chan?" Lee suddenly ask.

I blush.

'Dammit! Again!'

I saw Kakashi smile... or smirk I guess, Gai and one of Kakashi's friend, Asuma looking.

"M-me..." I said, pointing to myself.

"W-W-What?!! NNNnnnnooooo!!! Why Senna-chan!! Why?! why must you choose that guy instead if this lovely beast infront of you?!" He said, And I must add... dramatically.

Gai comforted him, Saying its okay, and unyouthful to stay depress....

My eye twitch.

I look back to the match and they seem to be doing their finishing blow. They attack each other and pass out at the same time. Hayate check them.

"both cannot continue. This match is a draw" He announce.

Kakashi and Asuma took them both and I check them.

"Well, they're fine. They'll be waking up in half an hour at least" I said.

The boys sigh in relief.

"Well at least its worth it, choosing them for chunin. They've improve alot" Kakashi said.

"Yeah" Asuma agree.

Well continue on to the next match. Its gonna be Tenten and Temari.

Sand ninjas....

hope it'll end up well.
