Hey everyone! Thank you for reviewing. I am so sorry for the late update. I wanted to let you know that I did a one-shot; I hope you guys read it. And the reason that it is late is because I couldn't think of any ideas for sakura bashing. Sorry for my overall speech. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Sakura crossed her arms. "I am not fighting you," stated Sakura. Ari has a grin, "Geez, I didn't know that you were a chicken."

Sakura glares at Ari, "what did you call me?" "I didn't come here to talk," Ari says a little annoyed.

Sakura gives her little small smile, "I didn't know you would like Naruto that fast?" That question froze Ari. Naruto just look from one girl to the next. "That's not true, right Hinata-chan?" Hinata looks at Naruto and shrugs.

Naruto looks back at the arena. Hinata talks, "One thing for sure Ari is mad." Naruto looks back at Hinata, "why would she be mad?" Everyone looks at Naruto.

Miname explains, "A girl doesn't like it when someone says who she likes in public."

Again Naruto stares at the girls. "Enough small talk," Ari says as she moves forward. Sakura stays where she stands, "Why? Just admit you like the baka." Sakura says.

"Sakura needs to shut up," Ino states, while everyone else nods.

"So what if I like him? It's not like anyone would like someone like you?" Ari says matter-of-fact. "Watch what you say, you bitch," Sakura hisses.

Ari laughs, "Please, what do you think I will do go cry, I'm a fighter not a wuss like you," Sakura vein is becoming visible; "Fine it's your funeral." Sakura charges to Ari.

Ari is in fighting stance, just when Sakura was mere inches away, Ari turned to the left and did a left punch. Sakura dodged it in the nick of time, but what she wasn't prepared for a knee kick to her stomach.

Sakura got hit badly. Ari jumped 5 feet away from her. They start to punch and dodged.

-Meanwhile with the others-

While Kimiko is trying her hardest to pay attention to the fight, someone keeps staring at her. 'OMG he is staring at me?"

Gaara was keeping his eyes on Kimiko's back he could tell he was making her uncomfortable. Kimiko tried to look at him but she was blushing when she was seeing that she got his attention.

"Kimiko you ok?" Momo asked. Kimiko shakes her head. She turns around and asks Gaara, "Why are you staring at me?" Gaara doesn't say anything. Kimiko looks Gaara in the eye, "Well?"

"How did you do that jutsu without hand signs?" Gaara asks. Kimiko tries to talk but she doesn't know what to say. Hinata sees that and shows a wicked smile, "Kimiko say because you're hot," Kimiko repeats what Hinata tells her, "Because you are hot." Hinata is smiling. Kimiko couldn't believe she said that. She stammers, "No I – I mean, well yes you are hot, but your attitude is not." Gaara glares at her.

Kimiko says "No I didn't mean that I . . ."

Hinata helps her, "Because I like you,"

Kimiko to busy thinking agrees. "Yes I like y. . . I mean I like your face, NO I –"Kimiko stops talking. She puts her head down, and sighs.

Hinata giggles "Geez, Kimiko you are so funny," Kimiko looks at Hinata before Hinata can get away, a giant sand engulfed Hinata. Kimiko gives a small smile, "Yup, I didn't know either."

When the sand went where it came from Hinata was gasping for air. Now it's Kimiko's turn to giggle and Hinata to glare. Kimiko turns her attention to the fight, so does everyone else.

-With Ari and Sakura-

Ari is badly beat up while Sakura has a swollen check. "OMG since when did Sakura get a second head?" Hinata asked. The girls giggle and Ino responds, "I think her forehead is the size of two heads." The girls laugh louder.

Sakura glares at them all, Hinata yells, "Don't worry Sakura we will all remember." Sakura glares at Hinata. "Shut up Hinata, she is my opponent not yours!" Ari screams.

Hinata glares at Ari "Oy Sakura do you mind calling her a slut." Sakura smiles and tells Ari "Slut," Ari glares at Sakura which cases her to smile.

Hinata yells "Now call her a bitch," "Bitch" Sakura says.

Hinata giggles when Ari glares more deadly, "Now say I'm a . . ." Sakura finishes "I'm a sluty bitch."

Everyone cracks up, especially Hinata and Ari.

Hinata stops laughing when she sees Sakura going her way. And before anyone can figure out what happened. Hinata is next to Ari while Sakura is where Hinata was.

"You little bitch," Sakura sneered. Hinata looks at Sakura and sticks out her tongue. Hinata is so childish sometimes. Ari followed suit. Sakura had five veins popping out. When she was ten feet from the girls, Hinata cracked her knuckles.

"Hey Ari, Why don't we leave her worse than Gai-sensei?" Hinata stated. Ari grinned and nodded her head.

Before Sakura could move to defend herself, Ari hit her in the stomach, while Hinata kicked her in the face. Hinata did a twist in the air and kneed her back.

While the girls beat the crap out of Sakura and everyone else were covering their eyes.

When Hinata and Ari were done with Sakura she was purple all over. "Apparently it's not good to piss off Hinata?" Naruto asked. Everyone rolled their eyes, "No, unless you want to look like Sakura" states Shikamaru.

-Later on-

Ari and Naruto were having a race on who was going to make it to the ramen stand first. Sakura had to go to the hospital since Kimiko didn't want to heal her.

Everyone else was just following those two. Sasuke and Hinata were about to sneak out of the group when they heard a crash not far away from them. Everyone turned their heads to the source of the crash.

Ari had tripped when she was inches away and she took Naruto with her. They rolled to the ramen stand and crashed head first to the stand.

"Apparently it's a tie" states Shino and Miname at the same time. Ari and Naruto come out laughing their asses off.

Sasuke gives Naruto a glare, "Geez dobe can't you be any less of an idiot?" Naruto stops laughing. "What did you say teme?" Naruto gets up and walks where Sasuke is, "You want to fight?"

Everyone rolls their eyes 'Do they always have to fight to settle their differences.'

Hinata looks at Ari and smiles, "And here I thought I was the klutz." She says laughing. Without laughing too much she got hit in the head by Ari. Hinata gets up and rubs her head, "Geez Naruto how can you stand the headaches from Sakura's punches?"

Naruto looks at Hinata and tilts his head to the side. 'Are you serious he doesn't understand?'

When everyone was done eating, they headed their own ways. Hinata and Sasuke met up when everyone was gone. "I can't believe that you beat the crap out of Sakura?" Sasuke says as he sits near the tree. Hinata is besides him, "Yeah neither do I, but it was fun." She says with a smile.

Sasuke smiles as well, 'weird I can always be myself around her. I guess I do care about her.' Sasuke watches Hinata from the corner of his eye.

"Who do you think was that presence we felt some time ago?" Hinata asks. Sasuke shrugged. They kept on talking and just enjoying each others presence.

Little did they know someone was watching them from afar 'you won't stop me?' Whoever was watching disappeared.

Hey sorry about this but I want some excitement so I will be doing a time skip when they are heading to the tournament. Also I am planning on doing another story.
