directions. He waved to her. She blushed and waved back. One of her comrades said something to her, but she didn't hear him until he started shaking her shoulders. She yelled at him but when she turned around Kai was gone
He ran, still next to Neyo, in the direction of the written exam."What about her? Does she know you, Kai?" asked Aimi and didn't believe it because they had just arrived. "Yep ..."
Aimi stopped, amazed. “I asked her for directions.” Ami sighed. "But you know him." Kai shrugged his shoulders.
Aimi sighed again and went on. They stood in front of the exam building and a young man explained to them that the exam would not take place until tomorrow.
"Well." Said Kai and smiled. Actually, Neyo and Aimi both knew what Kai was up to, but they didn't even notice it anymore.
Kai ran ahead and Aimi and Neyo trotted after him to spend the night in an inn. Aimi shook her head. "Neyo? Do you think what I'm thinking?" Neyo nodded. "I think so. That Kai will go out in the next five minutes and pick up three girls at once?" Aimi nodded.
On this subject, the two really always had the same opinion. And most of the time they were right. No sooner had they reserved a room for the night than Kai decided to leave.Short of breath he said goodbye and left.
The first thing Kai saw was the girl he had knocked over in the entrance hall.
He waved and went to her. “Hello.” She looked at the floor and said hello too. "Well? What are you still doing here?" asked Kai and smiled.
"Nothing, I'll pick someone up ... We still have training, you know ..." she said uncertainly. Kai tried to remember her name. “Tell me, did you tell me your name?” She shook her head. “I'm Tenten!” She said, holding out a hand to him. "I've said that before, but I'm Kai. Nice to meet you." She smiled. He took her hand and shook it.
At that moment the long-haired boy came out of a house.
"There you are, Neji!" called Tenten. "But you're always late ..." He shook his head. “Not true.” Tenten smiled uncertainly.
"That's Neji ... and that's Kai ..." she introduced the two of them. Kai gave a brief greeting, which could have been understood as impolite.Then Tenten said goodbye and the two hurried away.
Kai shrugged his shoulders, this Neji had somehow scrutinized him, that upset Kai. The look said something like: Just leave my sister alone! Though Kai strongly doubted that Tenten was his sister.
He strolled slowly on.
There were a lot of people on the streets. There had to be something special today. Otherwise you wouldn't be so amused. Kai spotted a pink-haired girl, and recognized her as the one he had purposely bumped into.
Beside her walked her comrades and a man whom Kai clearly identified as the Sensei. Aimi, Neyo and Kai had been training without Sensei for four years because he had saved Kai's life on a dangerous mission four years earlier, but had to leave his own.
Kai clung to this painful memory, like a protracted scar. He couldn't forget. He shook the thought off and walked almost imperceptibly closer."Hello." He said hello and the three shinobi turned around.
"What is celebrated here?" asked Kai and the blonde answered him. "Beginning of the Chunin exam. By the way, I'm Naruto." He said and grinned.
“I'm Kai.” He smiled at the girl.
"That's Sakura, Sasuke and Sensei Kakashi ..." introduced Naruto. At the word 'sensei', pretty much everything in Kai's stomach contracted.
"Nice." Said Kai and went a bit with them. He noticed how Sakura turned on the boy Naruto had introduced as Sasuke. But every time he flashed it off.
Kai laughed up his sleeve. She would never do it like this.
"What?" asked Naruto, who had seen him laugh. Kai pointed to Sakura, who was just trying to flirt again. Naruto looked at him blankly.
"Sakura?" said Kai to her. She turned around. “Yes?” He smiled “May I ask you something?” She nodded. He leaned forward and whispered in her ear. "What do you find in that ...?You deserve something better. "He straightened up and smiled at her.
She instantly blushed. “I have to go.” Kai said goodbye, who had just looked at the clock. It was shortly before midnight, if Aimi was still awake, she would kill him. But he was lucky, she was sleeping. He sat in bed and thought.
Neyo was still awake, Kai could feel that.
"What are you thinking?" Neyo asked suddenly. "Sensei Haroio ..." admitted Kai. He heard Neyo sigh. "Stop it, you can't help it and you know that." Neyo tried to calm him down. Kai shook his head. "Yes, I'm sure ... I could have prevented it somehow ..." Kai sighed and curled up in bed. "I'll just tell you one more time," warned Neyo.
"Forget it at last!" he said it so loud that Kai looked over to Aimi to see if she had woken up. Kai nodded.
Neyo saw it even though it was so dark.
In general, the Oniki clan, to which Neyo belonged, were nocturnal.But Neyo had given up that, Kai and Aimi to love.
"Sleep!" Neyo ordered and Kai closed his eyes, but he couldn't sleep for a long time. Again and again terrible images of the one fight haunted his head.
Hours passed before he could finally sleep.
When he fell asleep a nightmare tormented him, but Kai already knew him.

He walked slowly through a cemetery, why he didn't know why And it didn't get any clearer every time.
It only made him more confused.
He walked until he found what he was looking for. The grave of his sensei. “Haroio.” He whispered softly.
He paused at the grave for a while, lost in prayer, then turned and was about to leave. Even before Kai had taken the first step, he felt a heavy hand on his shoulder.
Slowly he turned around.
His Master's sunken, rotten face stared at him. The first time Kai had screamed, but this time he just looked back blank and sad.In a shrill voice, the corpse blamed Kai for his death. He sounded screeching and alarming, but Kai ignored him completely.

Neyo shook his shoulder slightly. Sleepy but wide awake Kai opened his eyes.
"Exam." Neyo reminded him. Kai got up and they got ready.
When they stood at the entrance to the exam building, it was pretty full. Not as full as yesterday at the academy, but Neyo still spent a lot of time persuading Aimi to go with him.
At some point they had finally made it and they had been asked to take a seat at elongated tables and wait for their examiner.
Neyo was seated next to a creepy guy with the most rigid gaze in the world, Aimi was allowed to take a seat next to Naruto and Kai was sitting next to a dark-haired girl. Just like with Neji yesterday, Kai could see her white eyes. So it was clear to him that the two had to belong to the Hyuuga clan.
Only this girl didn't fit into the regiment of the Hyuuga at all ... who were considered so proud and spirited.She was rather shy and only really looked at Kai once. Otherwise she stared at her table.
