Tournament of Blood. 10.

You slowly looked from the body lying on the forest floor, to the Sea Foam Green eyes of your savior.

"Wha…Wha...What?" you asked, stumbling over the words, "What just happened?"

"Hn," Gaara said, turning away from the mangled body of Korosu.

"Why did you save me?" you asked, shakily, "I lost. I should have been killed."

"It seems that I'm unable to kill you. I want to know why."

You opened your mouth to say something, when you heard laughing from behind you. You looked, to find…………………………….Korosu standing in the tree line, with Noriko and Kaname.

"Hahaha, like I would actually fall for that." And with that they disappeared.

You stared at the place where she had just been, before finally losing consciousness.

Gaara's P.O.V

You had been watching the place where the woman had disappeared, when you heard a loud thump. You looked back, and noticed Fukushu on the ground. You walked over to her and picked her up bridal style. You carried her to the hospital, and stayed after the doctors had healed her.

Kill her

I can't

Why not?

She's just like me

You were startled out of your thoughts by a soft groaning. Fukushu slowly sat up, rubbed her eyes, and looked over towards you.

Your P.O.V.

You opened your eyes, and saw Gaara.

"Hey," you said smiling widely. Then you fully looked around, and groaned.

"Too white," you complained, stuffing your head into your pillow.

"Excuse me," a nurse said, popping her head into the room, "Miss, it's time for your medicine." She then fully stepped into the room.

"Oh no," you said, shaking your head, and crossing your arms defiantly.

"Come now little girl, you have to take your medicine."

One

"No."

"If you don't, I'll…"

Two

"That's a good girl, just sit up." She said walking over to you, and holding your arm, so she could put the needle in.

Three

At the last minute, you used your free arm, and jabbed the needle into her throat. She was out like a light in 20 seconds flat. You then walked over to the dresser, and pulled on your clothes. You looked back at Gaara, who looked utterly bored, and asked "You coming or not?"

When he didn't reply, you shook your head lazily, and walked out the door. You were just vaguely aware of the throbbing in your head.

Hey Fu, heard you had a battle

Where have you been?

Sleeping, my dear.

Ah, I forgot. The almighty Shadow Demon Shinji needs his beauty sleep. (Mental snicker)

That was so funny, I forgot to laugh.

You were so caught up in your thoughts, that you didn't notice the team of genin in front of you, until you bumped into one of them.

"Hey, watch were your going," you yelled, as your butt hit the ground.

"You're the one not watching were your going," the girl yelled vehemently.

"Yeah, then you should have made sure you didn't bump into me, you bimbo."

"You want to take this outside?"

"We are outside."

"Shut up!" she screamed slapping you.

You grabbed your cheek, and glared at her. She just smirked in response. Then, you kicked her hard in the stomach, sending her flying back into her teammates. Her mouth was open, along with the two boys, holding her up. Her hair was disheveled, and her face was absolutely priceless.

"Hahahaha," you started laughing, you ghosted up to her, and got into her face. Then, you whispered, "Next time, don't mess with someone who could kill you with one glance." You turned around and started walking off, when you felt your arm being grabbed. You turned around, twisting the person's wrist.

"Ow, ow, ow," said one of the girls teammates, "I'm sorry for Aiko, she gets carried away sometimes."

"Well, next time watch her. The next person she decides to bump into might not be as nice as me," you said with a sadistic grin.

"Alright, my names Ryuji, and that's Hiroshi," he said pointing to the boy behind him.

"Is this your first year in the tournament?" you asked, boredly.

"Yeah, how'd you know?" Hiroshi asked.

"This is my eighth year in the tournament. You would think I would know if someone was new, huh."

"Yeah," he said nervously, "Well, could you show us to our house? We've been lost for awhile."

"Sure, follow me," you said. "By the way, what village are you from? That headband looks kind of familiar, but I can't seem to place it."

"We're from the Hidden Moon Village," Aiko said.
"Ah, now I remember." You said smiling.
