Sorry it took so long, I really dont know what went on at the Chunin Exams because I never watched it so this is all either random guessing or random YouTube video clips.
DICLAIMER!!! I do not own of work for Naruto, therefore I do not own any of the Characters... Except for lynne
Chapter 7
The Fight
I walked silently down the aisles, walking to my seat next to the annoying and still pissed off Sakura. "Look who decided to show up."
"Oh, shut it Sakura! I came to say sorry but it's clear that either way you'll still be a bitch." I sat down and looked at the arena. The last battle had been between Temari and Shikamaru. The battle arena had already been cleared away only to be ruined again when Sasuke and Kakashi showed up in a show of blowing leaves and a new look. Go figure! Sasuke has to be the one to show up with not only a new look but in a flashy show.
"Sasuke showed up after all!" Sakura yelled her eyes wide in affection. God! She's like a puppy fallowing her owner.
Once everyone had calmed down and took their seats the new protractor called out to start the next match. Gaara showed up in the middle of the field, looking ready to fight. The fight was signaled to begin and Sasuke started off with throwing a set of shuriken at Gaara, but all of them were caught in mid-strike by one of Gaara's sand clones. Sasuke let loose with a barrage of fast punches and kicks, all of them were blocked by a ring of sand. Somehow Sasuke got past the sand and nailed a punch in Gaara's face.
The only damage seemed to be a crack in his left check but I couldn't help myself from gripping the edge of my seat. Hinata could see the tension in the air around me and the worry in my eyes. She looked first from me then to the battle. Gaara began moving his sand into a tight wall around him to keep Sasuke out.
Sasuke tried to attack the tight formation but only ended up almost killing himself. He ran to the side of the wall and began collecting chakra with blue lights flashing and loud crackling sound echoing throughout the arena. I stole a glance back at Gaara and noticed a small eye floating around the barrier.
I looked back at Sasuke who had gathered up the chakra needed for the Jutsu. In his hand was a ball of raging chakra in the form of lightning. The sound was defining and the flickering lights could give an old man a seizure. He ran towards Gaara's shield with fast moves, mimicking the speed of Lee's Taijustu. Sasuke hit the barrier, making a hole in the wall of sand. I heard a load yell that seemed to carry on forever.
My fingers were clutching the edge of the seat so hard I could hear the wood starting to splinter and crack. I was leaning forward so much that I nearly fell off of the seat completely. It was Gaara's yelling that had sent me over the edge. My jaw was set tight. I had to blink back tears that threaten to overflow.
Gaara's sand barrier was crumbling, showing a spot on his right shoulder that was bleeding. Gaara was holding his head with both of his hands. He seemed out of it and in great pain. I looked at Sasuke with fury in my eyes. Oh, how I wanted to kill Sasuke right now. He had hurt my Gaara and he was just standing there, a smirk was planted on his face.
I was too out of it that I didn't notice everyone in the arena starting to fall asleep. Gaara was now accompanied with Temari and Kankuro along with another man that was older and seemed to be their sensei. While they were trying to help Gaara I turned to my friends. They were all asleep and apparently at one point Kiba had left with Hinata somewhere. I couldn't help my friends from this powerful Genjutsu.
Why wasn't I affected like the others?
Because you have me.
What does that have to do with anything?
Well, because of my tough armored plating any kind of Genjutsu just bounces off of me, and since I'm in your body it has the same effect on you.
So, your finally becoming useful?
Shut up! I'm always useful, remember that one time with the… How about the time when…
See?
SHUT UP!!
Make me!!
Don't you have someone you need to save?
Oh, right!
Gaara and his siblings were leaving the arena with a very angry Sasuke following pursuit. I looked over my shoulder to see Kakashi and Gai fighting off a gang of ANBU Black Ops. Next to them was Sakura waking up a very annoyed Naruto. So, she got out if it too? At least shes good for something.
I looked up and noticed that the third Hokage and the Kazekage were in a fight. So it was a trap huh? I should have guessed.
Nobody had even noticed me so I snuck to a giant hole in the wall close to where I was and jumped down to the ground floor. I looked up to see Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro running off through the tree tops and Sasuke following not far behind. I turned to see Sakura waking up a couple more people and getting ready to catch up with Sasuke. I knew they wouldn't make it in time and judging from the small blood trail leading in the direction of Gaara I assumed that I didn't have much time either.
I gathered up some chakra into the souls of my feet and started off at high speed. I was jumping from tree branch to tree branch to catch up to the others. Anger and fury pushing me forward, but there something more. I felt like someone had punched a hole in the center of my heart. Like something was ripped from my soul and I felt exposed.
I quickened my pace, but soon had to stop when I caught sight of them. I hid behind a tree for fear that they might see me. I didn't want them to see me, not yet at least. I heard the others coming and turned to see Sakura, Naruto, Shino, and a little dog running past me without seeing me.
Kankuro stopped and turned around to face the oncoming threat. After a few exchanges of speach Kankuro and Shino started fighting while Sakura, Naruto, and the dog ran off in the direction of Gaara and Temari. I didn't care for the fight too much and started in the same direction. I stayed close behind but not close enough to get caught. The dog seemed to have caught my sent and looked in my direction, I lifted my finger to my lips to show him to keep quiet. Lucky for me the dog seemed to have understood and turned back around and ignored me.
We were getting close and I could tell that there was a fight up ahead. Sasuke! I swear, if I get there and Gaara has so much as scratch on him because of you I'll kill you!
When Naruto, Sakura and the dog suddenly stopped I stopped a few feet behind and hid again. I looked at the scene before me. Sasuke was in a heated fight with Gaara and Temari wasn't even in sight. Gaara seemed to have been transforming into a beast and Sasuke was losing the battle. With one last move Gaara knocked Sasuke out cold. Naruto and Sakura jumped to Sasuke's unconscious body. The dog started talking and telling Naruto and Sakura what to do. If it wasn't for the fact that I was so angry I would have been freaked out.
Gaara started to transform some more
What the hell is happening to him?
Gaara, too, has a demon inside of him, just like you and Naruto. He has the One-tail Shikaku. I sensed it earlier with the incident in the alleyway.
And you didn't tell me about this before?
No, I didn't think it mattered, does it?
Well, no! But it would have been nice to know.
Well, you know now.
Like I don't have enough reasons to be angry?
When I was done talking with Ka Ryu some of the battle had already taken place. Now Sakura was pinned to a tree by Gaara's sand that was packed tight and was constricting around her. There was also a hundred Naruto's scattered all around Gaara. But no matter how many clones Naruto had he couldn't hit Gaara.
I was starting to relax seeing that Naruto was the only one left but then he got Gaara with an explosive. Damn!
Gaara didn't seem too hurt but the sand that had been transforming around him was taking its time to get back into place. I took this as my queue and jumped out from behind the tree. Naruto seemed a little surprised but Gaara looked no different. He must have known I was here the whole time.
"Stop this! You don't need to fight!" I yelled so both Gaara and Naruto could hear me.
"Try telling that to Gaara!" one of Naruto's clones pointed to Gaara.
Gaara didn't seem to have heard him, he was transforming again. Now over half of his body was covered in the Shikaku's armor. Gaara looked at me with anger and a hint of sorrow in his eyes. His voice came out in short pants but I could hear him as if he was standing right next to me. "Look at me Lynne. I'm a monster! Now go run like all of the others!"
"No! I'd never run from you Gaara! Never! Remember that!" Tears were streaming down my face. I tried to stop them but they just kept coming.
Gaara started laughing, it was menacing and demonic. He looked at me with eyes a golden color surrounded in a never ending black abyss. Shikaku's eyes. Gaara doubled over in pain and gripped his head. He slowly began to look back up at me. "That was they all say, RIGHT BEFORE THEY TRY TO KILL ME!" Gaara started to transform again into his final stage. Now Shikaku was towered over both me and Naruto. Gaara lifted his hands in front of him and made a sigh that soon put him to sleep.
I looked over to Naruto who then bit his thumb, letting blood form at the wound. He made a series of hand signals and slammed his hand down on tree branch. A large puff of smoke took his place and the next second a giant toad was standing across from Shikaku and Gaara's sleeping figure. Wow, Naruto must have trained hard to have been able to summon a creature that big and powerful.
For the next few minutes I could only stand and watch as Gaara and Naruto fought. The fight had ended in a head to head collision between Naruto and Gaara, literally. Both beasts were now gone and Naruto and Gaara were now on the ground. I ran over to where they lay and saw Naruto squirming inch by inch towards Gaara, who just laid there. I walked over to Naruto and placed my hand on his back.
"It's over Naruto," I said calmly. "You don't have to fight anymore." Naruto looked up at me and gave out a big sigh before passing out. I looked over to Gaara who hadn't moved and was now staring at me. I walked to Gaara and knelt down beside him when I reached him. He looked up at me and I reached out with my hand and touched his cheek that had been cracked earlier in the fight with Sasuke. "I told you I wouldn't run from you, and I meant what I said. Me and you, we're the same."
Gaara's eyes widened at my words then softened as I kissed him. It seemed like the last time we kissed was years ago. I pulled away slightly to give Gaara some air and noticed Temari and Kankuro nearby. They looked shock and confused but otherwise in one piece. They looked from Gaara, to me, to Naruto's body, then back to Gaara. "What the Hell happened while we were gone?" Kankuro yelled more than asked.
Gaara, never taking his eyes off of me, answered. "Nothing you need to know about. Now help me up."
Temari and Kankuro walked over to Gaara's side and picked him up, each one supporting him on each side. That's when Sasuke and Sakura, along with the weird talking dog, showed up. Gaara looked at me one last time before his older siblings took him away.
When they were finally out of my sight I turned around to face the others. Sakura stared at me with shock covering her face, Sasuke, along with the dog, looked board as usual, and Naruto was still passed out. "Um…" I was at a loss for words and I really didn't like any of them so I just ended up just standing there.
After a while Sakura seemed to have gotten over the shock and went over to Naruto to check to see if he was okay. Sasuke just kept giving me a death stare that was starting to creep me out. I began to back up slowly at first then turned around completely and took off as fast as I could for the village so nobody would question me.
Hoped you enjoyed! ^^
Now I just have one quetion that I need you guys to answer for me, otherwise I'll never be able to write the next Chapter.
