Saori P.O.V
The proctor was now going to announce the next match.
- Now, the next match. Kankuro and Aburame Shino! Come down! - the proctor said.
- I forfeit! - Kankuro said.
I raised an eyebrow......weird...why would he forfeit?
- Let's move on then! - Temari said and was now near the proctor.
- Looks like you're eager. Nara Shikamaru get down here. - the proctor said.
- ALRIGHT!!! SHIKAMARU GO FOR IT!!! - Naruto said pushing down Shikamaru.
- EH?! - Shikamaru said falling into the arena.
I sweatdropped, poor Shikamaru.
- HEY! HURRY UP AN FIGHT! - some said.
- YEAH! HURRY UP AND FINISH THIS CRAPPY MATCH! - others said while Shikamaru was still laid on the ground.
- GET UP KID! HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO LIE THERE?! - other said.
......everyone wants to see Sasuke's fight...they're all angry because they just waited for Sasuke's match but it was postponed and now they have to watch this one instead.
Again, poor Shikamaru. He might win though, at least he has the capacity to do it.
- What, are you going to give up too? - Temari asked.
- SHIKAMRU!!! GOOD LUCK! - Naruto said excited.
- IF YOU WON'T COME, THEN I WILL! - Temari said running towards him.
- HEY! I DIDN'T START THE MATCH YET! - the proctor said.
Yeah...she really doesn't care about that.
She was about to hit him when...
BOOM!
.......I smirked, she hit the ground.
- Ya know, I don't really want to fight...and I don't care whether I become a chunnin or not...but I'm not going to lose to a girl! - Shikamaru said some feet above her.
She looked at him serious.
- Can't have a guy losing to a girl...so...well, I guess I'll do it! - Shikamaru said.
She tried to attack him again with her fan but he got away from the blow.
- BUST HER UP SHIKAMARU!!! - Ino screamed from the top of her longs.
I chuckled, good to see they support each other.
Shikamaru was beside a tree now...he's probably thinking his next steps.
- NINPOU: KAMAITACHI! - Temari said and attacked again.
We couldn't see that well since she just made a mess......wait a second....I smirked.
Ohhh...he almost got her!
- Ah...I see. I've seen through your Kagemane no Jutsu! - Temari said making a mark where his jutsu can reach.
Well...she's not dumb as some other girls.
- Looks like there is a limit to how much you can stretch, shrink and change the shape of your shadow, isn't there...no matter how much you change and stretch the shape of your shadow, you still can't stretch it any further than the surface area of your normal shadow...right? - she said.
- Haha...that's right. - he said.
He then crouched down, closed his eyes and put his hands into...I don't know but it doesn't seem like a seal...he's thinking?
He then opened his eyes again.
- Looks like you're finally going to be a little serious! - Temari said.
Temari prepared another attack.
- KAMAITACHI NO JUTSU!! - she said.
Shikamaru immediately hide.
- THERE'S NO USE HIDING! - she said annoyed.
She continued to attack......what are you planning?
- HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP RUNNING AWAY FOR?! GIVE UP ALREADY! - she said.
He then threw a kunai at her which she dodge and then he used his jutsu.....I widened my eyes a bit.
Nice, still not enough.
- Very good, you saw through that. - Shikamaru said.
- I see. You were whiling away the time waiting for the sun to drop lower so the shadows of the wall and yourself would grow larger. - she said.
- Humph. - Shikamaru said.
- SO CLOSE SHIKAMARU!!! GO AND GET HER!!!! - Ino said.
I smirked, I would really like to have him on our team.
- TEMARI FROM ABOVE!!! - Kankuro screamed.
- WHAT?! - she said noticing what Shikamaru did and went some more feet back.
- YOU WON'T ESCAPE! - Shikamaru said.
She was able to dodge.
Shikamaru was still looking at her.
- I'LL END THIS! - she said.
She was preparing to attack when..........I widened my eyes a bit...well done, Shikamaru.
- Heh...finally. Kagemane no Jutsu...success! - Shikamaru said.
- Why...won't my body move? The shadow can't have reached this far... - she said.
- I'll show you what's behind you. - he said and made her look behind her.
I smirked, well played.
Always aware of your surroundings.
- You've noticed it haven't you? That's the hole Naruto dug in the previous battle. - Shikamaru said.
- No way...the shadow inside the tunnel... - she said.
- Exactly. - Shikamaru said.
- YEAH!!! DO IT! - Naruto said excited.
- GO SHIKAMARU! - Ino said.
- That's it...I give up. - Shikamaru said.
I blinked multiple times.......e-eh?!
- HUH?! - Ino said.
- WHAT?! - Temari said.
- I give up. The continuous use of the Kagemane no Jutsu has used up all of my chakra. I can barely bind you for 10 more seconds. I had thought up about 200 more moves but...it looks like I'm out of time. - he said.
.................I sweatdropped, that's a bummer.
- I'm getting tired of this...one match is enough for me. - Shikamaru said.
- WINNER TEMARI! - the proctor announced.
- Man, I'm tired. - Shikamaru said.
I chuckled, what a guy.
- IDIOT!!! - Naruto said running to Shikamaru.
- Shut up, you super idiot! - Shikamaru said.
- WHY DID YOU GIVE UP?! - Naruto asked.
- Forget about that already. Let's just enjoy the next fight. - Shikamaru said.
- WHAT ABOUT THE NEXT FIGHT?! - one screamed.
- WHERE'S THE UCHIHA?! - another screamed.
Suddenly a small hurricane formed down in the arena............my eye twitched.
- Sorry we're late. - Kakashi said.
- Your name? - the proctor said with a smirk.
- Uchiha...Sasuke. - he said.
I went there and was now behind them.
- E-Eh? - Naruto and Shikamaru said a bit scared.
- Huh? – Kakashi said.
BONK!
- OW! SAORI! – Kakashi said.
- OW! STOP THAT! – Sasuke said while I was pulling his ear.
- DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO NOT PICK UP KAKASHI'S HABITS?! – I said.
- OW! Y-YES! STOP PULLING MY EAR! – Sasuke said.
I let go and bonked him in the head.
- OW! – Sasuke said and glared at me.
- HAHAHAHA! – Naruto laughed.
- YOU COULD HAVE BEEN DISQUALIFIED! – I said mad.
Sasuke looked at me annoyed and so did Kakashi.
- OH DON'T GIVE ME THAT LOOK! I'LL PULL YOUR EYES OUT! – I said annoyed.
They went back some feet back.
- S-So...can he still fight? – Kakashi asked.
- Yes, his match was postponed for now. You got here just in time. – the proctor said.
- So...did you won? - Sasuke asked Naruto.
Naruto smirked.
- Of course! - Naruto answered.
- Don't lose to a guy like that. - Naruto said.
- Yeah. - Sasuke said.
I put my hand on Sasuke's hand which made him look at me.
I smirked.
- Don't lose Sasuke. Show us all what you're made of. - I said.
He smirked.
- Hn, I will. - he said.
- Sasuke. - Naruto said serious.
- Huh? - Sasuke said confused.
- I...want to fight you too. - Naruto said.
Sasuke smirked.
- We will. - Sasuke said.
Suddenly Gaara was now near us.
I looked at Gaara.
He looked at me with intent to kill.
- Please go upstairs. - the proctor told us.
I looked at Sasuke and put my hand on his shoulder and squeezed a bit.
- Good luck. - I said quietly.
- Hn, thanks. - he said.
With that we went upstairs.
- So, how did Naruto do? - Kakashi asked.
I looked at him mad.
- E-Eh? W-What? - he said.
- I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU! YOU CORRUPTED MY PUPIL!!! - I said.
He laughed nervously.
I looked at him mad.
- Sorry, sorry. - he said.
- Stop corrupting my students. - I said.
- It wasn't my fault! - he said.
I glared at him.
- I'll burn your books, one by one...and make you watch. - I said murderously.
- You wouldn't. - he said offended.
- Try me. - I said.
He glared at me and I looked at him amused.
- BEGIN! - the proctor said.
- Enjoy. - Kakashi said happy.
I smirked, this will be another good match.
