"Who was that?"
"I swear to kami nii-chan-"

As Team 7 walked up the stairs, they were suddenly ambushed by a boy in green spandex, his eyebrows furrowed and a blush on his face.
"Hel-lo!" He greeted youthfully. "My name is Rock Lee! You must me Uchiha Miyuki, right?"
Miyuki shifted uncomfortably at his close proximity, her heart thundering dangerously in her chest.
"Oi," Sasuke hissed. "Personal space."
Lee jumped back a little. "I apologise! I came to ask if you would like to be my girlfriend! I will protect you with my life!"
The room went silent, killer intent escaping Naruto and Sasuke in waves. Miyuki was staying wide eyed at him, uncertainly trying to step back when she realised she'd been cornered into a wall.
As soon as Miyuki stopped breathing he knew something was wrong. He could practically hear her heartbeat from where he was standing, and much to his despair, he knew what she was experiencing.
Sasuke grabbed her arm and pulled her behind him, scowling. "You've got quite the nerve, Rock Lee."
"Lee!" Tenten appeared beside the confused looking boy. "We told you not to!"
"You're an idiot," Neji scolded harshly. "You know what happened to her."
Naruto ushered the two Uchiha up the stairs, glaring at Team Gai in the process.
This was not a good start.

"Hey, Sasuke-kun, Miyuki," Ino greeted, leaping at Sasuke and clinging onto his back in a hug, giggling.
"What a drag..." Shikamaru yawned, glancing over at Miyuki. She was looking rather shaken, her face pale. "What's up with Miyuki?"
Naruto frowned. "Some weird guy with a bowl cut made her have a panic attack after asking her out."
Shikamaru blinked. "She okay?"
"Fantastic," she muttered, snorting. She went off to the side and sat down next to Hinata who had anxiously separated from the rest. "They're being really loud."
Kiba appeared, shouting as usual, resulting in more shouting, courtesy of our lovely Naru-chan, before a teen with silver hair came up to them, his glasses glinting.
"You might wanna try keeping it down a little. I mean, no offense, but you're the 9 rookies, right? Fresh outta the academy? I wouldn't go making a spectacle of yourselves. Just cool it."
Miyuki rolled her eyes. "There's only two that are making a fool of themselves."
The mystery guy just laughed her off with a wave of his hand and said quickly, "I'm Kabuto Yakushi. Anyway, that's not the point. Really, look around you. You've made quite an impression."
Facing the ninja that were glaring at them, Miyuki rolled her eyes yet again.
"See those guys? They're from the Hidden Rain, very touchy, they all are. This exam makes everyone tense, and you don't want to rub them the wrong way, right now." Kabuto closed his eyes as he let a haughty smirk onto his features and half-bragged, half-informed the rest of them.
"You can't help it, I mean how could you guys know, you're just rookies! You remind me of myself a while back."
"Ame isn't bad, nor touchy," Miyuki said quietly to Kabuto, though her voice carried throughout the room. "I've visited once or.. twice... anyways, you singled them specifically out because of where they're from. Um...in case you didn't know that's called xenophobia-"
Kabuto eyed her weirdly. "Right. Anyways, this is my seventh time. The exams are held every 6 months, so over the four years I've been going I've collected information on hundreds of people with these ninja info cards."
"Ninfo cards," Naruto awed.
"Is there anyone you'd like to know about?" He asked, glasses glinting again.
Sasuke nodded. "Gaara of the Sand....and Uchiha Miyuki."
Miyuki narrowed her eyes. "He shouldn't have cards on us. This is our first try at the exams," she muttered, Hinata's gaze flickering to her.
"Aw, you know the names already? No fun. But, no offense, but shouldn't you know about this Uchiha Miyuki already? You're her relative, right?"
"Yeah, Sasuke," Miyuki spoke up, venom dripping from her words. "What don't you know about me?"
He rolled his eyes. Kabuto reached for some cards.
"Well, first we have Gaara of the desert. Mission experience, eight C-rank, and hey, get this, one B-rank as a Genin. There's not a lot more information on this guy, he was a rookie from another land originally but there is this... he survived every mission, without getting a scratch on him."
"A B-Rank as a genin?" Shikamaru groaned. "And without a scratch on him too. This is gonna be such a drag."
Words faded onto another card. "Then we've got Uchiha Miyuki. Mission experience 27 D-Rank, 1 C-Rank turned A-Rank—"
Miyuki narrowed her eyes. That wasn't common knowledge.
"Her Team consists of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto. Led by Hatake Kakashi, who she, for an unknown reason, hates. According to rumours she was-"
The female Uchiha appeared before him and slammed him into the wall by his neck. Miyuki narrowed her eyes, keeping as calm a face as she could.
"Have you been stalking me?" She asked pleasantly. "First, you have information on us that could only be attained by breaking into the Hokage's office and reading our files, when this is our first time at the exams. Then you have information that could only be attained by excessive stalking. Explain yourself. Not only that but your 'card' has info that is completely irrelevant, mainly the last part. And you even dared to say that to my face?"
Sasuke put a hand on her shoulder, surprised. "Miyuki, calm down."
"I am calm. I just happen to be choking a possible traitor."
There was a poof in the silence.
"Listen up brats! My name is Morino Ibiki, and I'm your proctor for the first exam! And you, from Konoha, don't get ahead of yourself. It's against the rules to attack before the exams."
She scowled. "This person here has either been stalking us or has broken into the Hokage office for our files. He has excessive information on all of us despite us never having been part of the exams, where he says he got the info."
Ibiki stared, gaze going from the silver haired boy to the last female Uchiha. A grin spread across his face. "O-ho? Is that so? May I see what his information is on?"
Miyuki snatched up her card and dropped Kabuto, indicating to Sasuke to keep him from running. She passed it to Ibiki, one hand on her hip.
His eyes scanned the information, his grin growing wider. Passing it back, he crossed his arms.
"Let me reintroduce myself. My name's Morino Ibiki, head of the Torture and Interrogation department."
