A/N at the end...

"Oh my goodness, Minabi did you see that?" Shira exclaimed as she leaned back from the railing, "They were flying and then Sasuke just like kicked him to the ground with a bam!"

"Yes, I saw, you don't have to explain the whole fight." Minabi just sighed as she stared at Shira.

"But it was amazing! I want to fly too!" Shira grinned as her eyes drifted toward the screen hoping she will be next.

Abumi Zaku vs. Shira

Shira froze for a second as she just stared at the screen and blinked a few times, "Me?"

"Yes, that's what it says, aren't you happy?" Minabi spoke with a tilt of her head.

"Yes!" Shira grinned before hopping over the railing and landing on the ground at the same time the other man did.

Hayate motioned them to step forward in which they did but as soon as Shira took one step she fell flat on the ground.

There was a moment of silence as everyone just stared at the fallen girl.

Shira sat up slowly and blinked a few times before scratching her cheek with wearily laugh, "Heh... sorry..." She spoke before stepping up and making her way over to her opponent while keeping her head down due to the embarrassing moment.

Hayate stared at the both of them before speaking, "We will now begin the second match. Now then, please begin."

Shira smiled at her opponent before leaping away and getting down to a defensive position as she held her trusted kunai in front of her. She took this moment to calm her mind trying to get it into a mediated state, because while Zaku may be injured she knew far to well then to ever let her defenses down.

Zaku just smiled as he just adjusted one of his arms free from the bandages, "Oh, don't worry, it seems that one of my arms can still move."

As soon as he spoke he charged at Shira, but Shira held her ground and managed to block his arm successfully but then she saw him grinned and the next thing she knew this horrible screeching sound penetrated her ears blasting her to the side, "Slicing Sound Wave!"

Shira rolled off to her side facing away from Zaku as she grimaced. 'Damn it.' She could already feel blood starting to run down her left ear along with the constant ringing, 'Looks I'm going to have ignore hearing for a while.' She closed her eyes and took and deep breath she needed to calm down, she needed to focus but she also had to fight. Now she was dealt with a problem. Her chakra won't come out in less she really concentrates on it the little that did manage to come out is already being used but the thing was she doesn't know what it is being used for. She realized it was being used when she felt her skin grow cold but she just didn't know why. Her blue orbs drifted down to her hand, it was almost as if her chakra had a mind of its own, and if it did, just what was it doing now, but that was beside the point. She would worry about that predicament another time right now she had an opponent to face, and this time she needed to summon her chakra on her own. 'Looks like dodging is going to be my best friend for a while...'

"Come on, get up." Zaku spoke up.

Shira sat up while scratching her head, "Ouch, that really hurt. But you know..."

Zaku just grinned, "Know what?"

Instantly Shira vanished before appearing right beside Zaku, "I happen to like hearing..." She spoke before swing her arm around and just barely connecting with Zaku before he jumped out of the way. Shira just glared at she quickly just charged at him, "And I hate the constant ringing." She grimaced out before making another strike at him in which he dodged but she had already anticipated so as soon as he moved down she swung her right leg around instantly connecting with the side of his sending him fling off to the side. But Shira didn't move forward she stayed right where she us and brought her hand to her left ear before bringing it back to her face seeing blood. She let out a sigh as her eyes drifted over to Zaku as he was just sitting back up.

Suddenly she felt some of her chakra begin to leak out, 'About time...' Shira brought her hands together an began to do a series of a signs.

Minabi placed her hands on the railing, "Wait a minute, that technique, since when did she learn to do that?"

"Ice style: Twin dragons." Shira spoke up before slamming her hands against the ground. Instantly a roar reverberated throughout the room in which two identical dragons appeared next to Shira. Shira rose up slowly and touched a hand to one of the dragons with a small smile, "Aren't they just precious?"

Instantly the dragons launched themselves at Zaku in which Zaku was able to dodge but not without obtaining a large slash across his back. He now stood between Shira and the dragons.

Minabi watched the scene before her. 'That jutsu is mine. While mine is a water style but that is beside the point. She didn't know it beforehand. Did she really just watch me use it once and was able to copy it into her own style.'

Zaku looked at Shira then at the dragons and a grin became forming. Instantly his right arm freed itself from the sling and was held up against the dragons while the other was facing Shira, "Heh, this is my ace in the hole."

Shira tilted her head to the side, 'So he could move both them... bastard... that was a smart plan!' Shira couldn't help but congratulate the man for a such a great plan but then she realized her position and instantly began cursing, 'Seriously, I thought I had the upper hand in this!'

Suddenly she winced which caused her posture to slack a little bit which did not go unnoticed by Minabi.

Minabi stared at Shira with a calculating look. She instantly knew something was wrong when Shira's posture slackened. Her brown orbs began scanning Shira's body to only find splotches of bloody starting to appear. This lead to Minabi cursing under her breath as she looked back at Shira's face. It was obvious that Shira was hiding in the pain if you realized the blood, but there was nothing Minabi could do. Shira had to face it alone, and she could only hope that Shira will hurry up and finish this match or, unfortunately, be defeated.

Shira could feel some of her wounds starting to open, "Damn it." Shira silently cursed as let out a deep breath. It seems that man from the forest really did a number on her body. She didn't have time for this, she needed to finish this before her body decides it has enough. This was why she wanted to be the first to battle. She knew the situation of her wounds and they were not pretty all because she made a mistake when fighting that man. She could feel the wound on her stomach beginning to soak through the bandage. 'Damn it, I need to finish this now!'

Thus Shira began charging toward Zaku at the same time as the dragons, but it seems she wasn't fast enough...

Zaku immediately activated his power and a gust of sound charged at the dragons along with Shira and all people could hear was a scream. The dragons disappeared instantly but no one knew of Shira's condition. A dust cloud had risen around her and the room was filled with silence.

"SHIRA!" Minabi screamed.
