Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

I'm really sorry that I haven't updated in so long. I was too worried about a bunch of things...

Sazuko POV

"I want to see how good you guys are," I ordered. Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro knew about their assessment tomorrow at school, so I was helping them prepare tonight.

"Gaara, you know the drill." I smiled at the redhead. He, however, did not smle back. Is he still mad at me? Well, he's always like that... But he complied anyways. Gaara's sand ripped through the garage, destroying everything in its path. Soon, there was nothing in the garage.

"Okay, Temari. You can go first." I led the blond female to the middle of the room. "Gaara, Kankuro, you better stay outside. It might get dangerous in here." They nodded and left.

Temari POV

I was nervous, to say the least. I wasn't sure what to do, nor how powerful Sazuko was. She must be pretty good, to be able to live after spending a few weeks with Gaara.

Never show your fear. Shikamaru had taught me that. Well, I guess I'll just try my best and not show fear then...

"Trust your instincts Temari," Sazuko encouraged me. "C'mon."

I took a deep breath, then exhaled. "Let's do this."

I whipped my fan open, showing three purple dots on the fan. Cool, I wonder what they do! I grabbed the fan with both hands, and swung it at Sazuko. Blades of wind shot out from my weapon.

Sazuko POV

Don't forget I made your weapon Temari...I have the advantage.

I dodged the wind blades. One grazed my shoulder though. My mechanic brain started working...Temari would be best for long-ranged attacks, and attacks that covered a big area. With her fan, she could definitely destroy a whole forest within seconds. If she had to fight Kankuro, she would almost definitely win. All she has to do is aim at Kankuro, who is controlling the puppets. And with his hands full of his wooden dolls, it'll be harder to defend against, unless he uses a puppet as a shield. Gaara, however, would be a different matter. Since Gaara has an awesome defense and pretty good attack power, it'll be hard to take him down. If Temari uses her fan, Gaara's sand would instantly leap to his defense. Then he can just use sand to attack Temari, without getting close range.

Another set of blades shot at me. This time, instead of dodging, I faced it head on. I pushed one hand through the wind blades, dulling the edges, therefore making it harmless. Temari's attacks became a gently breeze.

"My turn, let's see your defenses." I stuck a hand in the wall behind me, and changed the matter into a sword.*

I jumped at Temari, and stuck the sword straight down into the ground in front of her. Yes, the first attack is always a fake. I shot out with my legs, aiming a kick at her neck. Temari had shut her fan, and used it to block out my attack. Smart. I never thought of using it like that.

Temari POV

Let's see what's so special about the purple circles... I opened my fan and bit my thumb.

A lot of things are activated through blood. Shikamaru had also told me that. I stuck my bloody thumb onto the moon. Instantly, kunais shot out throughout the fan.

"I didn't know you knew that!" Sazuko cried. She created a shield from the ground.* It blocked out all of the kunais.

"Well, that was pretty good." Sazuko walked over to me. I raised my fan in defense.

"No, I'm not going to attack you. I think you're pretty good already. I'm done with you." She smiled at me. "Let's call Kankuro in, I'm going to see how good he is, now that Sasori's trained him."

And that's the end...^.^

* In Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward could create stuff out of the ground or air and stuff like that.

Review! I'm not sure when the next chapter would get out...
