Chapter 12

Okay, I hardly know anything of basketball! Um…ha-ha?

Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto…or Nymph…or Chi…or…aw man!

Notes-

Like before, I don't know like any basketball! Hehe! And I saw the Grudge 2 on Friday the 13th. Creepy…right? And my new favorite movie is Little Shop of Horrors. But I still love Rent! Oh and speaking of Rent (If ya love Rent, then be prepared to be a jealous bitch! Muhaha!) I saw Adam in person (guy who plays Roger). He sang and I went into his dressing room since my friend is best friends with him and my Grandma booked him in her theater. He hugged me, signed an autograph and shook my hand. I will wash my right hand and my et even again! Oops…I forgot and took a shower this morning! Damn! Hehe. Any who… oh! And some curses like the b, um not bitch…teme…and the f word so if there r spaces in this one it is one of those words and that annoys the heck out of me!

Happy Birthday Maye Uchia! (October 12, 1006) finally 11. Wahoo, all that you need is three more years and ya will b my age!

Enjoy (sorry 4 that long note! I hope ya read it!)…

"We have a better basketball player then Ai and his name is Takair Romonno."

I gasped. Could that guy be as good as Kakashi says?

/Rin, do you think so/

Um…I have no clue what you are saying…I think you are breaking up. I am going. Into. A. Tunnel.

/Rin! Be serious! What is with this guy? Why does he have red eyes like I do when you take over me? What is so special about him/

-Silence-

/Rin…Rin? Hello? Earth. To. Rin/

The referee blew his whistle. Let the game began!

The odd part was when both captains had to shake hands. The captain was Takair.

"Hello Cat Women." Takair said with a smirk on his face. With for me was a warning sign to stay away from him!

"Um…hi…" I said and we both shook hands and went to the middle of the court.

/Wish me luck/

Luck

/Oh…thanks…? Can you just give me something so I can beat this creep/

No

/O! Screw you/

The referee blew his whistle and threw the basketball in the air. Takair and I jumped up at the same time and he got the ball first.

He was dribbling it to the basketball. I was chasing after him and I knocked the ball out of his hand and grabbed the ball. I was running the other way when I felt some one push me to the ground and I dropped the ball and landed to the ground. Sasuke grabbed it and dribbled to our basket.

He shot it but Zabuza jumped up and grabbed the ball in mid air. I got up and cheered and he ran to the end of their court. Bur Takair was there and grabbed the ball from him. A frown went on my face.

Chi went and tried to get the ball but Neji pushed her a little bit and Sasuke passed the ball to him. I ran and tried to grab the ball but Neji just elbowed me in the stomach. I gasped, trying to get air and landed to the ground.

Ouch

/No duh…bitch/

What!

/Um…nothing/

Don't call me a bitch.

/Fine…teme/

I noticed I was still on the ground and Nymph helped me up but when I did my heart thudded and I landed back to the ground. I couldn't breath.

/What the hell is going on/

I can destroy you whole body…I can kill you if I want to…but I wouldn't.

/Why wouldn't you/

Then I would die as well

My vision got blurry as I still couldn't breathe.

/Can't…breathe…/

-Sarcastically- No

/Rin! Let me breathe/

I'll think of it

The couches and team mates when up to me and tried to talk to me but I couldn't comprehend what they were telling me. I was lying there, trying to breath. Practically hyperventilating. Chi helped me sitting up. Tear came out of my eyes and I was trying my hardest to get a breath.

/Rin! God Damnit! Let me breathe/

Fine

I gasped for breath and then my vision went black.

I woke up and gasped to get my breath. I was on one of the belchers and my Konoha friends surrounded me. Sakura hugged me.

"Thank god you are alive." Sakura said. I pushed her out of the way. I gasped when I saw the score board.

There was twenty minutes left.

Score…

Mist- 23

Konoha- 57

"What the ?" I asked. This couldn't be happening. Takair then scored again. Chi and Nymph looked like they were going to give up. I jumped up from the belcher and went up to Kyle.

"Kyle-sensei! You have to let me in!" I screamed at him. He shot around and saw me.

"You're up. But I can't do that." Kyle-sensei told me.

"Oh! Screw my health! I am fine."

"How do you know?"

/Am I fine/

-Sigh- yes

"I am."

"How do you know?"

"Um…I just do."

"Sorry Ai. I can't let you in." I pushed him. Then whistled.

"Time out!" I shouted to the referee. He nodded and blew his whistle. The team looked at me and then ran up to me.

"Ai! You are awake." Chi said happily and hugged me.

"Listen guys," I said after she was done hugging me, "Takair is the leader here. If I injure him-"

"Ai!" Nymph yelled, "You will be kicked out of the basketball game!"

"So? I practically did anyway cause I couldn't breathe. But that eliminates the best player on their team. Then you guys have a better chance of catching up with them!"

"I agree with my sis." Haku agreed. Everyone nodded.

"Okay. Let's get our heads in the game." I told everyone. They all nodded and we placed are hands in the circle.

"Jags on 3." Nymph said. Yep, that was our mascot, the Mighty Jaguars, while Konoha's was the Panthers.

"1." Chi said.

"2." I added.

"3." Zabuza smirked.

"Jags!" we all yelled. We ran back on the court.

"What the ?" I heard Kyle-sensei yelled, "Ai! Get off the damn court."

"No!" I yelled back, "I know what I am doing!" Kyle sighed, I think he gave up.

The whistle blew and Takair and I both jumped into the air. I gasped because I got the ball first. I dribbled it down the court. I passed it to Orochimaru who passed it to Kabuto who passed it to Chi. She shot, and made it! We cheered and ran back to our side of the court.

"Ai…" Chi said in a worry tone to me. I just smiled at her.

"Trust me." I whispered. The referee blew his whistle again and now Chi jumped for the ball, but Takair got it first.

/How am I going to do this without a penalty/

Hmm… pretend to bump into him then step on his leg! Muhaha, I am a genius!

/-sweatdrop- um…okay…/

I ran up to Takair and accidentally bumped into him and the ball and he landed to the ground. With pretending to be shocked I turned around and accidentally slammed my foot on his leg. He screamed and then I gasped with shocked and backed away. I slipped but then someone caught me, it was Haku. He helped me on my feet and we all went to Takair.

He was holding on to his leg.

"You bitch!" he cursed at me. I just but a pout on my face and kneeled down next to him.

"I am SO sorry Takair-kun!" I acted.

"Yeah right, you ing dobe!"

(I am now listening to Sanctuary in Kingdom Heart 2. So it might get a little soft…I hope not!)

"I am serious." The referee blew his whistle.

"Number 16 is unable to play and 63 is still in." the referee said. A smile lit on my face, I wasn't taken out of the game!

"What? You must be joking me!" Takair complained. I held out my hand to him.

"I will help you up." I said. Takair groaned and pulled me down, are faces were a few inches apart.

"I swear- swear, I will get you back you dobe." He threatened and I helped him up. I was shivering from the treat he gave me. Jeez.

(Now Every Heart

Nymph- hits over the head get on with the story! Who cares what you are listening to? Oh! And it is by Boa!

I thought you did like these songs…ow…)

He was helped by Naruto and Kiba to the bench. He lay there, watching the game.

The referee blew his whistle once more and threw the ball in the air. I was against Sasuke too. I used all my strength and got the ball first.

I passed it to Chi. Who passed it to Nymph, but failed because Naruto went in front of Nikki and grabbed it.

He passed it to Itachi. Who passed it to- (Nymph: WHO CARES! Me: Shut up! This is my story!) Neji. Who then passed it to Sasuke, but I caught the ball and dribbled it down the court.

(Now it will get interesting cause I am listening to I Constantly Thank God for Estbam by Panic at the disco)

I passed it to Orochimaru and he shot it. The score was now 28 to…I don't care! We are still losing!

Twenty seconds left of the game…

Here was the heat! The score was 67 to 67, a huge comeback that made the crowd roar. And the cheerleaders scream louder and the step team…well there was none but a group of girls made it up on their own…was stopping like crazy. It was awesome.

I had the ball. But then it got knocked out of my hands and Sasuke got it. He shot for it but Kabuto blocked it.

Orochimaru grabbed it. He passed it to Haku and he passed it to me. I was in the middle of the court. And everyone that was in front of me…was blocked.

Ten seconds…

I did what happened in gym class about three weeks ago in Konoha…I shot it at the middle…a three pointer. It was on the rim…heat was getting to me. Then it rolled off the basket. It didn't make it. My eyes watered and widened. It. Didn't. Make. It!

Chi quickly grabbed the ball and shot it at the side line…and…it…made it! The crowd cheered as the bell rang saying that the game was over.

Everyone…including Zabuza ran up and hugged Chi. She won the game for us.

"Chi you were amazing." I said as I gave her a friendly punch in the arm. Chi laughed.

"I wasn't really thinking to tell the truth." Chi told everyone. But we didn't care. She won the game!

The step team came up to us.

"Are we going to do the song?" one of the girls, I believe her name was Kiara. She had blonde and black hair with pink and brown eyes. She was weird. But she was extremely flexible.

"What do you say?" I asked everyone. They all nodded.

"Hell yeah." Haku said. We all ran in front of the huge roaring crowd in the blenchers.

"Are you ready?" Chi shouted loudly at the crowd. I heard a bunch of 'yes's and the crowd became quiet.

"1." Haku said.

"2." Kabuto added.

"3." I finally ended.

"Let go Jags!" We all shouted. Music started playing (karaoke). It was 'We're all in this together' (I hate high school musical but I just like this song. Hehe.)

-end song-

Everyone cheered. This was amazing! I even kissed n the cheek…! Meep! Well, who cares?

After the game, Konoha and Mist hung out. I was still scared of Takair and he sat so close to Naruto. Itachi and Chi were no where to be found…o! You did not here that from me…

"So Ai," Sasuke was adding on to the conversation…but sadly…I wasn't pay attention.

"Hn." Was all that I answered.

"Would you like to go out with me on Saturday?" I saw Nymph and she was signaling me to get the hell away from Sasuke and over to her. I nodded.

"Ai?" he said. I looked at him.

"Um…yeah…whatever," I told him and walked away. Now…what did he ask me?

Nymph was hanging out with everyone in my gang.

"That was amazing." Ino said while giving me a hug.

"Thanks, but it was Chi who did it all." I told everyone.

"Who cares? You were about to make a three pointer." Ten-ten pointed out.

ZzZ

It was time for Konoha to leave. But before they went on the bus everyone had to say 'good game' or some other crap like that.

I was with Sasuke and shook his hand, but then he immediately wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him.

"Um…Sasuke," I managed to spilt out. He gave me a chaste kiss.

"Meet me at the school, at 7 p.m. Saturday." And with that he let go of my and walked to the bus. I was blushing, I bet. But I could see Rin doing a little dance in my head.

/What are you so happy about, you have some cat nip or something/

No, but you will have to wait till Saturday.

/What happens? Does it have to do with Sasuke and I/

No, but you and someone else, and it isn't Naruto either.

/Who is it/

You will have to find out on Saturday

End of Chapter

Yep, listen to Rin! Wait till next chapter. Sorry at the end it seems a little rushed and doesn't have any description. Sorry. Again…HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAYE! And sorry you weren't in this chapter, you will be all in the next one, because that will have the weekend on it and Ai will spend all day with you…well except at 7. Hehe
