"H-hey Gaara" the male ninja ,now known as Kankuro, greets nervously
"Have you forgotten the reason we came all the way here?" the redhead, Gaara, stares at him
"I know..I-I mean they challenged us. They started the whole thing" Kankuro stutters, looking scared "See here's what happened-"
"Shut up or I'll kill you" Gaara growls lowly
"R-right.. I was totally out of line. I'm sorry Gaara" Kankuro looks down
Gaara jumps down to the ground next to Kankuro and the girl.
Gaara looks at the pink haired boy and Aika "I'm sorry for any trouble he might have caused"
"yeah.." Aika's hair and eyes go back to normal
Gaara looks at Kankuro and the girl "Let's go. We didn't come here to play games."
"Hold on!" Sakura stepped in front. "I can tell by your headband that you come from the village hidden in the sand. Of course the land of fire and the land of wind are allies but no shinobi can enter another's village without permission! So state your purpose and it better be good"
"Sakura" Aika looks at her
"you mean you don't know" the pink haired boy looks confused
"Have you been living under a rock or what? You don't know what's going on, do you?" The blonde girl took out her passport from her pocket "We have permission. Of course you're correct, we are Hidden Sand genin. Our home is the land of the wind. We're here for the Chunin Exams. Get the picture?"
"Temari" Aika reads her name from her passport
"The Chunin Exams? What's that?" Naruto asks confused "I've never heard of any Chunin exams, believe it"
"Naruto seriously" the pink haired boy facepalms
"huh.." Aika looks at him suspicously 'how does he know big brother's name..'
"Those exams are what genin take to become chunin" Sasuke explains as he jumps down to the group "They are like graduation exams except a lot harder"
Sasuke eyes the pink haired boy and stands close to Aika.
"Oh! I'm so there!" Naruto shouts excitingly
As the trio were about to leave, Sasuke stops them.
"Hey! You! Identify yourself!" Sasuke orders
"You mean me?" Temari asks bashfully
"No" Sasuke gestures towards Gaara "The guy with the gourd on his back."
"My name is Gaara of the desert" Gaara replies "I'm curious about you too"
"I am Sasuke Uchiha" Sasuke answers
"Hey! I bet you're dying to know my name right?" Naruto grins
"I couldn't care less" Gaara looks at Aika "what about you, Fire Cat, who are you?"
'Fire Cat?' Aika thinks to herself
"huh" Aika looks surprised and points to herself "me?"
Gaara nods
"Aika Uzumaki.." Aika answers
Gaara nods and turns around
"Bye bye Panda, see you around" Aika cheerfully waves
The other sand ninja and the ninja around her all looked at her like she was stupid. Gaara smirks a bit as he and his team walk away.
"Well that was interesting" the pink haired boy put his arms behind his head and started walking away
"Hey!" Sasuke shouts at him
"hm?" the pink haired boy looks at him "what is it?"
"Who are you?!" Sasuke shouts
The pink haired boy put his hands up in defense "No need to get so overprotective, the name's Haruto Namikaze. 14 years old, leaf village ninja, just arrived back today"
"hmph" Sasuke crosses his arms "alright.."
"But how did you know my brother's name?" Aika asks as she walks in front of him
"Oh I don't just know his name, I know yours too" Haruto smiles "Aika"
"huh!" Aika jumps back towards Sasuke
"hehe, I'm real smart" Haruto chuckles
"No that's just real creepy" Sasuke looks annoyed
"Well truth be told under special circumstances I was actually told to live with you twins" Haruto admits "I was told you two are terrible cooks and completely lazy"
Aika looks embarrassed "hey-"
"he's not wrong" Sasuke interrupts
"HEY" Naruto and Aika shout annoyed
"So, nice to meet you" Haruto holds his hand out to the twins
"Nice to meet you!" Naruto shakes his hand enthusiastically "we don't have a very big apartment but of course you're more then welcome to stay"
As Naruto and Haruto talk Aika stands beside Sasuke staring at Haruto suspiciously, she didn't like this new guy very much. After what just happened with those sand ninja, anyone is suspicious.

Team 7 once again sat on the bridge waiting for their Sensei to arrive, he was going to be late, AGAIN.
"WHY, WHY, WHY?!?!?!" Sakura suddenly burst out "It's always the same! He sets the time and we have to wait hours for him!"
"It's not fair!" Naruto shouts in agreement
"What about my feelings?! I rushed here so fast I didn't have time to blow dry my hair!" Sakura complains
"And I didn't even have enough time to brush my teeth or change my underwear!" Naruto adds
"ugh, TMI big brother" Aika covers her ears
"did he really?" Sasuke mumbles to Aika and she nods in response, which Sasuke looks annoyed about
Kakashi suddenly pops out of nowhere, smiling "Hey! Good morning everyone! Sorry I'm late, I'm afraid I got lost on the path of life"
"Again" Aika complains
He jumped down from the post he stood on "I know this is a bit sudden but I recommended you for the Chunin Exams. All four of you. These are the applications." He gave them the papers.
"really that's so amazing Kakashi Sensei, thank you!" Naruto shouts, jumping on him
"Alright! Don't slobber on my vest! Whoever wants to take the exam, go to room 301 at the academy. Its at 3pm 5 days from now. That's it." Kakashi instructs
Aika looks down at her paper "The Chunin exams.."

A/N: So durring my trip to visit my friends last week me and my friend were talking and we thought it'd be cool to include each other's OC in our books. The new character Haruto is going to be apart of the story too. My friend's story follows Haruto's journey while my book follows Aika's jouney, so you guys should go check his book out too and see Haruto's journey from his POV.
