[In Naruto?!] -- Older Version of Dérive.

| 21 | The Preliminary Exams |

WOAH, HOLY SHIT. I'VE GOT 15+ PEOPLE WHO HAVE ADDED THIS INTO THEIR READING LIST. Ne, thank you so much, you people! You really help me in my work, seriously! It gives me a reason as to why I should continue with this, so I'm seriously glad!

Anyways, this might be a short one, since all that's going to happen in here is...

...BAHA! Did you think I was going to type up a spoiler? xD No way, I've learnt how to control myself when typing up spoilers. Ehe, this means - CONTINUE READING!

A/N: I just checked the polls, and it's taken a drastic turn that I thought wouldn't happen. As you may know, before - it was Shikamaru who was winning. When I came back on Failzilla today, I noticed something...change. There were 107 votes, whereas yesterday, it was only 39.

ANYWAYS. GUESS WHO'S WINNING? 

...that's right. Sasuke Uchiha. Shikamaru Nara's second! My gosh, it's like a war between the two!

Ehehe, I won't be counting those votes anytime soon, so the poll is still open for votings! Please continue to vote, thank you!

FEEDBACK: (glomps anyone who reads this bit)

WARNING: Foul Language. Crack!

DISCLAIMER: I, LeTiffany, do not own the manga/anime Naruto or its characters. I only own the story plot and the Original Characters (OC) I create. All credits towards Naruto should go to Masashi Kishimoto.

[Yo, have you read the A/N above this? If not, go read it. It's really important - and has something to do with the love pairings].

"WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?! WE ALREADY GOT THE SCROLL, BUT DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TIME WE WASTED?!"

You totally knew you were screwed when you saw his twitching fingers.

"Woah, woah, Akashi...calm down," you sweatdropped, eyes closed into a crooked smile.

"YOU KNOW WHAT?! I DON'T CARE ANYMORE! WE'RE GOING TO THE TOWER, NOW!" he exclaimed, his finger flying up to point in a direction you weren't sure you were supposed to go in.

"Fine with me," you shrugged, your healed (of course, there was still a scar through it) genjutsu-placed-over-eye opening to look in the distance of the direction he pointed in.

Damn, I should've remembered to grab the freakin' bandanna.

Hn. Consider yourself lucky that my eye also enhances your genjutsu skills.

"SHUT UP."

Damn, pulling off two conversations at the same time is harder than I thought...

"D--" you started, about to tell him that there was only a cliff in the distance [1].

"STOP TALKING."

"O--"

"WHAT PART OF SHUT UP DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?!"

...he's gone completely ballistic.

"A-ano, gomenesai yo, [Name]," Akane apologised, wincing when Akashi's heated glare was directed to her.

"YOU DON'T SAY SORRY, SHE HAS TO SAY SORRY!"
