Chapter 14: Fighting Tournament

It was after school, Gaara was back to somewhat normal, he was depressed yes, but he kept the song Hinata sang to him last night. Everyone looked rather nervous, because, the tournament was about to begin.

"Hinata-chan are you ok?" Gaara asked.

He looked at the indigo haired girl as she began to shake and went rather pale.

"Yes I'm alright Gaara-kun, just a little nervous." Hinata said with a small smile.

"Your not the only worried one, almost everyone here is." Kiba said, appearing beside Gaara.

"When'd you get here?" Gaara asked.

"A few minutes ago." Kiba responded. "Who's fighting first?"

"We'll soon see, look, Tsunade is about to say the first match." Sakura said, appearing beside Hinata.


"Ahem, now that I have your attention, we will begin the tournament, not everyone in the school (hardly anyone actually came) wanted to be apart of this, so I will read the first match up: Sakura Haruno vs. Kiba Inuzuka" Tsunade yelled.

Sakura and Kiba came down to the arena and got into their fighting stance.

"Good luck Haruno." Kiba said.

"You too Inuzuka." Sakura responded.

"BEGIN!" Tsunade shouted.

Kiba and Sakura ran at each other.

Kiba threw a punch at Sakura which she easily dogged. Sakura kicked Kiba and it hit him in the stomach, making him go a few feet back.


"This fight is going to be boring..." Shikamaru said.

"Why?" Hinata asked.

"I dunno, it just is." Shikamaru said.

"Umm...OK..." Hinata said as she, Gaara, Naruto, Lee, Tenten and Neji sweat dropped


Sakura and Kiba both had been hit at least twice.

Kiba ran at Sakura again and delivered several punches, then kneed her in the stomach. Sakura then grabbed Kiba's leg that he kneed her with (it was still in the stomach) and then worlded him around and threw him across the arena.

"Not to bad...For a second grader." Kiba said, and he ticked Sakura off.

"FOR A SECOND GRADER? OH YOUR GOING DOWN KIBA! CHA!" Inner Sakura shouted.

Sakura ran at Kiba this time, catching him off guard.

She punched him in his stomach, kicked his leg making him fall over, then as he fell Sakura raised her foot and hit his spine. Kiba smirked, she fell for it.

As she kicked him, he grabbed her wrist with one hand and pouched her lower stomach with the other, sending Sakura flying backwards.

Both of them stood up and ran at each other. They both raised their fist, but Kiba being faster, hit her first. She fell and hit the fall, banged her head and fell unconscious

"Winner: Inuzuka Kiba!" Tsunade shouted.

Some people clapped, Kiba's fan girls cheered and Sakura fan boys boo-ed.


"Next match: Sabaku no Gaara, vs. Kin!" Tsunade shouted. Gaara and Kin came down to the arena.

Kin had long black hair and had her hair in a low pony tail, tying it near the end like Neji but had a purple bow. Her eyes where black and pupil less. She was a few inches taller then Gaara and she had her hands on her hips and she wore what she wears in the Naruto Anime.

"BEGIN!" Tsunade shouted.

Kin ran at Gaara, not knowing that Gaara had fast reflexes and had awesome defense.

She threw a pouch at him that he easily blocked. He grabbed her wrist and punched her stomach. Kin coughed up a bit of blood just from one pouch.

"This guy is strong, he was able to make me spit up blood with one pouch! This is going to be harder then I thought!" Kin thought.

She went to kick Gaara's leg but he easily dodged.

"Is that the best you can do?" Gaara said coldly.

"Why you-!" Kin started throwing random punches at Gaara, and Gaara blocked every one of them.

While Kin was trying to land a hit, she left herself completely unguarded. Gaara took that as an advantage.

He toke his leg and side-kicked Kin's leg making her fall over, Gaara kicked her stomach after she hit the floor and made her go flying back. She hit the wall and fell unconscious.

"Winner: Sabaku no Gaara!" Tsunade shouted.

Gaara's super crazy fan girls where cheering, Hinata looked happy but didn't cheer, she wasn't that type of person.

"G-Good job Gaara-kun." Hinata said quietly.

"Thanks." Gaara muttered.


"The next match is: Sasuke Uchiha vs. Hinata Hyuuga!" Tsunade shouted.

Hinata walked down nervously and Sasuke walked down as if he didn't have a care in the world.

"BEGIN!" Tsunade shouted as they came into the arena.

Sasuke ran at Hinata so fast, Hinata couldn't even respond.

He landed a pouch in her stomach, kicked her rapidly, then hit her stomach sending her flying, the grabbed her wrist then kneed her stomach. Hinata coughed up blood making Sasuke smirk.

Sasuke let go of Hinata making her fall down, and she coughed up more blood.

"Give up. Your going to lose anyways." Sasuke said.

"N-No..." Hinata said standing up, her legs where wobbly.

"I won't give up...I promised Gaara I would beat Sasuke...I will keep my promise." Hinata thought.

Sasuke ran at her again as Gaara, Kiba, Naruto, Kankuro, Lee, Tenten and Neji watched in horror.


"If Hinata-sama keeps this up...She might..." Neji couldn't even finish his sentence.

A flash of guilt hit Gaara, he realized, the reason she wasn't giving up was because he asked her to beat Uchiha, now if she dies, it would, again, be his fault.

Kankuro was standing next to Gaara and could tell he was about to play the 'blame-myself' game.

"Gaara, don't worry, she'll be fine." Kankuro tried to reassure his little brother.

"Dammit Temari, if you where here, you would know what to say..." Kankuro thought as everyone continued to watch the match, Gaara acted as if he hadn't heard his sibling talk to him.


Sasuke went to land another punch but Hinata caught it, surprising Sasuke, and herself too.

She grabbed his wrist and swung him around once, and threw him across the arena. That didn't really affect him, he came back madder then ever.

"Ok bad idea of doing that..." Hinata muttered to herself.

Sasuke went to kick her but she ducked, he took his leg and kneed her in the chin, forcing her head to snap up, it also sent her flying up.

Sasuke then jumped up and repeatedly kicked her in the stomach then took his leg and wheeled it around and kicked her in the back, causing her to fall super fast down to the ground.

"HINATA / -CHAN / -SAMA!" Kiba, Naruto, Kankuro, Lee, Tenten, Neji and Gaara shouted.

Sasuke landed a few inches away from Hinata.

"Winner: Sasu- WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Tsunade shouted as Sasuke brought his leg up and then...

CRACK

His foot made contact with Hinata's skull, and a loud CRACK could be heard through the arena.

"That was for pouching me into the wall." Sasuke told the unconscious, and probably dead, Hinata.

"Hinata...No..." Gaara whispered, he and Neji jumped down from the watching area, Tenten got out her cell and called 9-1-1.

Neji pushed past Sasuke and ran towards his cousin, Gaara right beside him.

Gaara could have been sick, Hinata's chest was barely moving, tears where coming from her closed eyes, and the side of her head was bleeding.


Sasuke smirked. He was going to have fun with this.

"What's wrong Sabaku? I thought you didn't love?" Sasuke said only loud enough for Gaara and Neji to hear.

"Why you..!" Gaara was about to go attack Sasuke when Neji stopped him.

"Don't Gaara, that's exactly what he wants you to do." Neji said.

"Sasuke, to my office, NOW." Tsunade said, she was standing behind Sasuke.

Sasuke smirked, and fallowed her out of the door.

"Now, Orochimaru can finish 'them' off..." Sasuke thought as he and Tsunade left the room.
