The crowd silenced as Sai and I had a stare down. If you could even call it that.
You know, like in those fighting movies. They just stand there and talk, making threats, and even a few promises that they are going to kick or even kill the other guy. Or they just stand there and look like complete idiots, making those faces at each other and even a few rude gestures are given to the other. Practically in all the 'great' fighting movies or TV shows, the game plan is given away as to how or why the person is going to fight the other person. Usually there grand plan is to take over the world and such. Are you following? Or am I just confusing the living daylights out of you? No, but seriously. This isn't what's going on here. They're just staring at each other. No threats. No promises. Just eye contact. Maybe Sai knew the plan. Maybe all of Konoha knew their big plan, and they were just playing along. Maybe Sai was really just in fact staring at her. It's something that is just going to have to unravel itself.
As we stared at each other, I kept hearing the voice inside my head.
'You are so going to hell for this.'
What is that? My mother!?
'You do realize you're being attacked.'
I hear just as I felt this big lion-like creature pounce on me. Falling on my back, and bring back my legs and kick it away. Rolling back wards, like a back wards somersault, I get back on my feet and throw a series of kunai at the black and white creature.
Ink.
As the kunai hit their mark, ink was sent everywhere. Including myself.
Ignoring the substance on my clothes and my skin, I hear a high pitched whistling. A whistling I think everybody heard.
Looking at Sai, I can tell he is in thought. Probably as to what he's hearing. Basically shrugging it off, he charged at me with a short bladed sword. Concentrating chakra into my fingertips, I narrow the flow. My nails narrow as well. Now, its like I have short and sharp knifes as fingernails.
Me charging at him, him charging at me.
Feeling my left hand scrape against the blade, I thrust my hand forward. Thus, knocking the blade away and my hand being lodged into this guys stomach.
And this is where the bad part of hanging out with Gaara so much kicks in.
Blood thirst.
Destruction.
Pain.
I can feel myself start to crave these three things.
I stand corrected. NOW you are so going to hell.
Barley feeling myself make contact with the arena wall, I stand up and grin maliciously. Looking up at Sai, I can hear people scream and yell in the stands.
The mission had officially begun.
Still staring at Sai, I can sense a few other chakra signatures appear right around us. One of them is Gaara's.
Two Konoha ninja and three other Suna ninja stand, not including Sai and myself. Tearing my gaze away from Sai, who is trying to tend to the large hole in his stomach, I see Gaara walking over to me. He knows what's happening. He's seen me like this once before. It was after I accidentally cut Kankuro with a kunai. Seeing his blood seep out of the somewhat shallow wound... STOP!
I shake my head as I hear Baki yells at Gaara to get me out of here.
Hearing another yell, my head starts to hurt.
I just want everything to be quiet.
I just want to see blood everywhere, nothing more. Nothing less.
All thoughts other than blood exit my brain.
Not thoughts of making sure Gaara doesn't lose control also leave my thought process.
Another pain in my head makes me close my eyes and growl in pain.
Yes... I just growled.
Get a hold of yourself!
Blood. Get that blood you want so badly!
Ignore him! Gain control! What about Gaara!
You're mad at Gaara, remember!? Tear him apart along with everybody else!
Don't do it! Ignore him, Sakura!
Shaking the arguing voices away, I can feel my blood-lust grow stronger. Feeling Gaara's hand on my shoulder, I can hear him talking to me.
"Sakura?" he asked in his normal tone.
"The mission." I say, moving to finish off Sai.
There is something inside of me that is yelling at me to finish off my opponent. I have to prove myself worthy to become a Chuunin. I want to show that I am not a weak little girl that Gaara has to protect. I don't care if a lot of people are afraid of me. I want to show it to where everybody can see it. To where a whole other village can fear me. I want people to fear me. I want nothing more than to see their blood. To be the reason that their blood is spilling out of their bodies. I want to kill Sai. I want to kill hundreds... thousands of people!
"Take one more step and you're finished." I hear one of the Konoha ANBU say as I continue to walk to wards Sai.
A low growl emits from my throat and I can feel a kunai penetrate my left leg. Looking towards the person who threw it, I can see the Hyuuga that I beat earlier.
Neji.
I hope you all enjoyed that chapter.
Question:
Should, and what kind, of demon should Sakura have?
Should Sakura even have a demon?
Please put in your thoughts.
It's greatly appreciated.
