A/N: Hey everyone!! Sorry but I'm so fen busy with school. Dam having a life. But I was able to find time to update! THREE CHEERS!!

Yumi vs. Shikamaru

Suzy leaned against the railing, very exited by the first fight. Sasuke Uchiha just beat Yoroi Akado, then staggered off with his sensei.

"Wow… I can't wait to watch the next match…" Suzy said. She looked at Gaara on the other side of the room, 'I just hope I don't face off with Gaara… I don't want to fight him seriously.'

Gaara noticed that something was probably bothering Suzy but disregarded it.

Hayate coughed into his hand and everyone's attention was redirected toward him, "Let's move on to the second match."

The screen started flashing with names of all the ninja left in the room. Akaishi rested his hand on his student's shoulder when her name flashed on screen.

"Good luck Yumi," he said.

Yumi

Vs.

Shikamaru Nara

Suzy sighed. Weather if it was of relief or to relieve, she wasn't really sure, "G'd luck, Yumi."

"Don't get the s beaten out of ya," said Tamamaru.

"Real encouraging," said Yumi and she jumped to the field. She pointed to team 10 of the leaf village, then more directly at Shikamaru, "Are you coming down or what?"

"Yeah yeah…" Shikamaru jumped the railing landed perfectly on the field. He stood up sloppily and looked at Yumi with sleepy eyes.

Coughing was heard again and everyone looked to Hayate again, "Are both competitors ready?"

"Hn," they both said.

"Then let the match begin."

Yumi immediately pulled out kunai and threw them at Shikamaru. Shikamaru moved out the way effortlessly then studied his opponent.

"Aren't you gonna make a move?" Yumi asked.

Shikamaru just gazed.

"Fine. I will," Yumi clapped her hands together then to the ground. The room flashed in a blue light.

"Gah!"

After the temporary blindness wore off, Shikamaru was seen stuck to the field. The whole field was layered in ice and Shikamaru was frozen to it.

"What happened?" Shikamaru tried struggling.

"If you must know, this is my own special jutsu. It doesn't have a name because I don't see a point in naming it but it covers about a twenty meter radius in a sheet of ice. Anyone on the ground in that area is frozen to the ground. Not only that, but the ice can stay frozen as long as I wish and in re-enforced with my chakra to make sure it doesn't crack to easily.

"Well? Want to give up?" Yumi asked, sliding across the ice while pulling out a few kunai.

"YEAH YUMI!!" Tamamaru shouted.

"SHUT UP!!" yelled Ino

Believe it or not, Shikamaru didn't like the idea of giving up on a battle he wasn't sure he was going to lose. He clapped his hands together into a chakra sigh.

"What ever it is you're thinking, forget it," Yumi was about to throw when she saw something on the ground approaching her. She jumped high, so high that she reached the ceiling and kept herself there with chakra. Yumi saw Shikamaru shadow retract, "Huh…"

Shikamaru made the same hand sign, "Shadow clone jutsu!"

Three perfect clones of Shikamaru appeared. All four f the Shikamarus pulled out kunai. Two went on defense. The real Shikamaru and the other clone started hacking away at the ice.

Yumi jumped down from the ceiling. Even if he broke out, this was her ice. He wouldn't have a easy time on it. Yumi decided to let him brake out. It make the fight much more fun. She circled around them, waiting. She wouldn't make it easy for him to break out though. She focused chakra making the ice harder and glow to help prevent those strange shadows of his.

"What's she doing?" Suzy asked.

"Entertaining herself…" Tamamaru said, "You're new to the group so you wouldn't know about it. Yumi just wants a challenge."

"Yeah. But seventy-five percent of the time she does this she loses…" Akaishi said.

"Hn…" Suzy gripped the bars tighter.

Yumi threw kunai at the two clones that were on guard. They went 'poof' and Shikamaru paused for a moment.

"Hurry and get yourself out of there. I'm not gonna wait all day!" Yumi yelled.

"Wha-?" Shikamaru started, "You're gonna let me escape?"

"Well sure. I'll still have the advantage. My ice equals my rules."

"Umm…" Shikamaru started hacking away at the ice again.

And Yumi started gliding over the ice again, using her chakra to morph the ice into ramps and other objects to demonstrate the techniques that she could perform to the audience.

Suzy was bored, "This fight needs to speed up a bit," she took a deep breath, "BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! -breath- BOOOOOOO!!"

Tamamaru cupped his hand around his mouth to, "Yeah! BOOOO!!"

Several people were annoyed by the childish acts but voiced their thoughts in their heads.

Finally, a shrunken 'whished' by and left a cut on Yumi's cheek, signaling Shikamaru's escape from the ice. His clone started throwing kunai while the real Shikamaru ran to a area where there wasn't any glowing ice but cement where he could cast his shadow. He preformed the shadow possession jutsu again. While Yumi was busy evading Shikamaru's attacks, she somehow ended up under the jutsu 's control.

"Crap!" Yumi shrieked.

Losing control on the ice… she slid into a wall. She was knocked out cold on the ice that soon started to melt away.

Hayate coughed a bit and went over to check on Yumi, walking carefully because the ice still was melting away, "The match goes to Shikamaru."

"What a lame way to lose," Tamamaru said.

"Uh-huh," said Suzy.

Preview: (A/N: A rare occasion where I let you see into the future. )

Shino Aburame

Vs.

Suzy

Suzy felt her chakra drain a bit, 'That's odd. I have perfect chakra control.'

Sunlight pecked at something on the back of her neck.

"Ow…" Suzy said

Light reflected over Shino's glasses as Suzy rubbed the wound Sunlight's beak inflicted on the back of her neck. Her fingers went over a small lump. She pulled it off and saw a little black creepy-crawly.

"Huh?" Suzy looked at it. She didn't even feel it.

Then Selia's voice broke through, "Suzy!! Watch out!!"
