Demons Cry

Chapter 7

A.N.: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR ANY OF ITS IDEAS OR CHARACTERS. I only own my OC Jenna.

I awoke to my two cats meows. They were both right in front of my face as if I was something extremely special to watch. They then mewled simultaneously obviously happy that I had awoken. I rubbed my eyes and got up out of bed. I then went to the bathroom and showered; I put on my clothes and tied up my long white hair in a high ponytail.

I grabbed my IPod and plugged it into my speakers playing the song Stay The Night by Hayley Williams and Zedd. I danced around while I cooked, fed Hikari and Kurai, and ate. A little while after I ate I decided to work out, sing, and dance to warm up my muscles for the tournament. So I began to listen to a whole list of music as I dance and sing to it. I felt eyes watching me but I ignored it.

After I was done with my workout, I grabbed a bottle of water and headed out the door. I saw an array of new faces on my way to the arena; this tournament obviously drew in people from all over. I walked up to the arena as the others were waiting to enter except Naruto and Sasuke. I stood in between Shino and Shikamaru, but I silently wished I had stood next to Gaara. We all walked into the arena listening as all the people cheered. It was an overwhelming feeling to be cheered for by this many people.

A minute later Naruto comes running in. I slapped my hand to my forehead; he was completely late. Shikamaru was talking to him and I whispered back to the duo "Naruto! Shikamaru! Get up here before-!"

The proctor then spoke making me wince slightly "Hey you two. Get over here and present yourselves proudly to the spectators."

He then called for Naruto and Neji to come to the arena. I watched as their fight went on and on, but in the end Naruto won. I knew he would. It was now Kankuro's turn but he forfeited. I was very confused, and a little suspicious, but I let it go. It was now time for my fight with Temari.

.I looked at her and smiled. I stuck out my hand and said "Whoever wins, no hard feelings right?"

She smiled back, taking my hand. "Yeah!"

The proctor cleared his throat then began the match.

I jumped back weaving my hand signs as I yelled "Suiton: Bakusui Shōha!"

A large amount of water erupted from my mouth creating a title wave. It hit Temari with great force, but she managed to keep fighting. The water remained in the stadium, making it into a pool. The terrain was now in my favor.

She tried to use her signature Jutsu "Kamaitachi no Jutsu!"

I dove under water to avoid it. I swam under her and before she realized it she was being held by a stream of water. I pulled her under the water. I held her there as I swam to the surface making more hand signs.

I put my palm on the surface of the water, then I spoke the Jutsu "Suiton: Goshokuzame!" Five sharks swam from my fingertips.

They began to attack her and once I saw she had passed out I released the Jutsu. I raised her up with the water, setting her in my arms. I handed her to the proctor as the medics came to take her.

"She's only unconscious; she'll be fine and wake up in a little while. Although she will need her wounds cleaned." The medic said.

"I can do that, I actually know medical ninjutsu as well." I spoke rather quickly.

I went in with the medics, and healed her wounds. As she woke up I said to her "Hey let's go on up, your brother's match should be starting soon." I smiled lightly.

She sat up and grinned at me, "Yeah, let's go!"

We were walking up the stairs and Temari looked at me and asked "Do you like my little brother still?"

I looked at her wide eyed and blushed. "Well… Um… Yeah…"

She grinned evilly, "Well you know, I think he likes you too!"

My blush got even redder, "Really?"

She began to giggle, "Yeah, he came to me and Kankuro last night asking us how to get a girl to like him! He was all shy and blushing, it was sweet! He said your naaammeee!"

My whole face heated up, "Oh my gosh, what do I do?"

Temari grinned like a mad woman and said "Don't worry about that now after all of this I will hook you two up!"

She winked at me which only made me blush deeper. Then we saw Gaara coming down the stairs, Temari pushed me ahead and I tripped falling on top of Gaara. Our noses were touching and I could feel his hot breath on my lips. My eyes were so wide and I could feel my face heating up. But he just stared wide eyed at me.

I broke the tension by pulling us both up and I spoke, "Good luck Gaara, I hope you win." I looked at the blush on his face, making me blush harder. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and smiled waving my goodbye.

I ran after Temari but I could feel Gaara staring after me. I caught up with Temari at the waiting area and Gaara was already out on the field.

Temari and Kankuro seemed worried so I tried to console them, "Temari, Kankuro, don't worry about what Gaara will do. If he gets bad I'll step in myself."

They nodded their heads. Temari and Kankuro's faces seemed to relax slightly. As the fight began I cheered for Gaara vigorously. But when Gaara encased himself in sand I could tell how tense Temari and Kankuro were getting.

I heard Temari whisper, "He's not even thinking about the plan!"

My curiosity got the better of me so I asked her, "What plan?"

She looked at me slightly scared, "I can't tell you Jenna…"

I got serious instantly, "Temari, what plan?"

Just as she was about to answer we heard a shrill scream, "AAHHHHHHHH! BLOOD! IT'S MY BLOOD!"

Kankuro and I spoke at the same time "W-what's happening!?"

Kankuro then spoke to Temari, "I-is that thing taking over again…?"

Temari then spoke back "I don't know…! This has never happened before…! I think he's hurt..."

I screamed out to Gaara "Gaara! Are you ok!?"

I hear an explosion coming from where the Hokage and Kazekage are, as well as the sounds of clashing kunai.

I yelled at Temari and Kankuro "What's going on? Why is the sand attacking the leaf?"

They jumped down to be with Gaara and I jumped down after them. I listened to them talk to their sensei for a minute but I was getting impatient.

"Temari! Kankuro! Answer my question!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

Temari looked at me with sad eyes "I will tell you but you have to come with us, because we cannot stay here."

"Alright." I said seriously.

Genma looked at me worriedly and spoke warily "You know if you go with them you might be labeled as a traitor."

I looked at him angrily "I have to go with them! I have to know why because you see that boy with the red hair?"

He nods and I continue "Well he is very special to me and I'm not letting something happen to him! I want to know why this is happening…"

I picked up Gaara carrying him piggy-back style and Temari, Kankuro, and I ran off.

I spoke softly to Gaara as we ran "Gaara."

He grunted his response, so I slid down the sleeve of my shirt some, showing my shoulder. "Gaara, bite my shoulder. It will heal you; it's a technique I learned from a girl in the forest of death."

He bit down hard enough to draw blood. I moaned lightly from the feeling. I quickly covered my mouth out of shyness, my face already heated. After he had bit me, he laid his head on my shoulder. I could feel his breath on my back and neck. The feeling gave me chills.

Kankuro and Temari were watching the exchange with the most devilish of looks. I sweat dropped at the looks on their faces.

I gave them both a more serious look before I spoke, "So why are you doing this?"

They became serious as well, Kankuro decided to speak for the both of them. "We don't know exactly why this is happening, but what we do know is that before we ever came here we were told that we would be invading the hidden leaf. Gaara is the trump card to this plan. The higher ups want him to release his demon at the peak of the invasion."

"I understand. Then I will be a traitor if I need to. I won't let any of you guys die." There wasn't much to say, but that pretty much summed it up.

"Sasuke is catching up with us!" I say slightly frantic.

We all stop and Sasuke appears. Kankuro speaks up "Oh geez."

Temari follows in the action "Well if it isn't Sasuke Uchiha."

Sasuke of course pipes up and says "This is as far as you guys go."

Temari jumps up and throws a few kunai at Sasuke "Go Jenna and Kankuro! Get Gaara out of here! I'll take care of this one."

"Don't be a fool Temari. This kid is too much for you to handle all by yourself." Kankuro was worried, I could tell.

"Don't argue! Our mission is to make sure Gaara is safe. He's our first and only priority. Don't worry about me; this is what I've been waiting for. Get going Kankuro, Jenna."

We ran as far and as fast as we could but again Sasuke caught up with us, and as Temari came back we had to leave Kankuro behind.

I felt Gaara beginning to stir on my back, I looked over at him. His eyes were opening.

"Jenna, put me down."

"Okay, Gaara." I set him on a tree branch.

I tugged at his shirt but he flinched away. "Gaara let me. I want to see how you are healing."

He simply looked away. I grabbed his shirt pulling it gently away from the wound that was already forming a scar and was no longer bleeding.

"It's looking very good." I smiled warmly at him.

Soon Sasuke appeared and I knew we weren't going to be running anymore…

End of Chappie! Hope you all liked it!
