Chapter 11
"Ehem. Now then, we'll continue the competition."
Everyone had settled down and were waiting for the next announcement. Everyone was spread out now that then numbers were winding down Kagome decided to stand with Naruto by the stairs.
"Hey, Kagome?" He looked over to Kagome with a curious look.
"Huh?" She looked back into his blue depths. "What did Sakura mean when she said you were a ki-user? Is that some sort of clan jutsu?" He asked confused.
Kagome smiled nervously, "Oh that…" 'I still feel bad about not telling him about me! Man I've got to find a way to spill it soon! I feel like I'm betraying him or something. I mean he was my first friend here it's the least I can do to tell him the truth!' She yelled at herself mentally. 'Ugh! Then there's that thing with Sasuke…' She looked over to Sakura to see her not paying any attention to the two at all.
Kagome sighed then looked back to Naruto, "Well, no it isn't. You know how chakra is the concentrated balance between, spiritual and physical energy?" She started to explain.
"Uh huh." He nodded.
"Well, Ki is the physical energy in your body, and I use that to fight instead of chakra. That's why I said it might be hard for you to learn to fly because you only know how to use half of your Ki energy, and even then, it's pretty hard to control if you're not used to handling it already." She explained to him.
"Uh? Oh… I get it!" He nodded slamming his fist into his hand. Kagome sweatdropped, 'Amazing…He still doesn't get it.' She thought incredulously.
"Oh, hey! When this is all over do you wanna go for some Ichiraku ramen with me?!" He asked excitedly with a blush. Kagome got stars in her eyes at the idea of food and didn't even notice he was trying to ask her out, seeing as she still wasn't good with kids her age, "Aw man! That sounds awesome Naruto! Just thinking about it is making me hungry! I feel like I haven't eaten in days!" She whined out childishly.
Naruto laughed, "Well, then don't worry! It's on me!" He sweatdropped as soon as the words left his mouth. 'Eh…why oh why Kami did I say that!?' He yelled in his mind.
"Cool! Thanks Naruto!" Kagome giggled out. Naruto blushed as she gave him a close-eye smile, 'Ehehe…Oh yeah, that's why…'
"Next up! "
The names spun and Kagome saw it come up, She smirked when the names popped up, "Oh yeah! Round 2 it is!" She called out.
"You know that guy Kagome?" Naruto asked her as he jumped down from the upper level.
Kagome nodded, "Yup, I sure do. I fought him back in the forest. I beat him of course." She said cockily.
Naruto looked down to the guy wearily, "I don't know…He's kind of creepy looking." He said looking at the hunched over back.
Kagome shook her head, 'You don't know what creepy is Naruto…' She thought as she remembered Orochimaru.
"Wow, Kagome's going again?" Sakura said watching the girl jump down from the upper level instead of taking the stairs again.
"I guess it makes sense, she didn't gain a single scratch from that fight with that sound ninja. She made it look like it was a piece of cake actually." Lee stated as he looked down.
"Hey, wait! I know that ninja!" Sakura said looking to her opponent.
"Alright. Son Kagome. Dosu. Ready yourselves! BEGIN!"
Kagome smirked at the mummified ninja, "Didn't get enough last time I see. It's better for you to just forfeit, mummy." Kagome smirked.
Dosu scoffed, "We both know I would have finished you if it weren't for that paralysis jutsu!" He yelled back. "And we also both know that I only need to hit you with my sound wave once and you're toast." He chuckled darkly.
Kagome lifted her brow, "And what makes you think you'll have the chance to even attempt that?" She asked him.
"Huh?" Dosu lifted his brows and Kagome disappeared from his sight."W-Where did she go?!" He called out looking around.
"Wow, Kagome sure isn't messing around this time around!" Ten-Ten yelled out.
Sakura nodded, "And I know why…" She thought back to when that ninja brought Kagome to her knees with his sound.
"It's because that sound of his, for some reason affects Kagome like nothing I've ever seen. He was able to bring her to her knees." She said honestly.
The Jonin looked shocked, 'What?!' was their collected thoughts.
Lee smirked, "Well, it looks like that will no longer be a problem."
Kagome reappeared behind him then tripped him up, "What a shame, you didn't last very long. Most people learn the first time around." Kagome said as she quickly took her foot and smashed his left arm piece that radiated all those sound waves. He let out a loud yell of pain and Kagome jumped backward, 'What!? I didn't break his arm did I? I was only aiming for the arm piece!' She thought to herself.
"Wow! Now that was a bit cruel, for Kagome at least." Ten-Ten said shaking her head.
"No, it's not what it looks like. Kagome was only smashing his arm piece that sends out the sound waves, without it he can't do a thing to Kagome." Sakura smirked. 'CHA! YOU GO KAGOME! YOU'VE GOT THIS IN THE BAG!' She yelled on the inside.
"Interesting." Kakashi muttered.
Dosu stood up with shocked eyes, "You..How dare you!" He growled out. Kagome shrugged, "You should have just forfeit." 'There was really no point in this at all.'
Kagome looked up to where Gaara stood to see him twitching as he stared at her. She could feel his killer intent from down here. She shivered a bit at the coldness of his stare, 'Once again, I ask. Is everyone around here creepy?!'
"You shouldn't take your eyes off of your opponent in the middle of a fight!" Dosu yelled as he charged at her as he performed hand signs.
Kagome wasn't enjoying this anymore so she cut him short. Faster than anyone could see she moved to the middle of the ring with her hand out flat and Dosu flew into the wall with a sickening crack, he then fell to the floor unconscious.
"W-Whoa…" Naruto stuttered, "She wasn't kidding… That was fast!" Naruto yelled out in shock.
Kagome shook her head as she went to jump back up onto the second level where Naruto was, "And the winner is…Son Kagome!"
