As the battle between Sasuke and Garra ensue's, I clench my fists in my jacket pockets. I'm honestly terrified about what will happen during this match.
Halfway through their fight, Garra places his hands in a seal. Sand rises around him and begins to form a dome.
My eyes widen.
He can't be thinking!...
Sasuke runs forward, his speed already impressing me, and in an attempt to break into the sheild, he slams his fist into the sand. Sand spikes to meet him, he's lucky to not have been stabbed to death.
He leaps away quickly and the sand returns to it's dome-like state.
Sasuke's Sharingan is activated and his eyes are narrowed.
A large eye of sand forms over Garra's protective shell and my nails dig into my skin as my eyes widen.
He must be really pissed...
Sasuke attempts to breach the protective shell of sand in a manner of ways but fails. Sasuke lands a way off as another attempt fails and he unhooks a latch on the band wrapped arouns his arm. Leaping onto the wall behind him, he throws his hand down. Chakara suddenly erupts from his hand, looking very much like lightning and the sound of what seems to be millions of chirping birds fills the stadium. I ignore the conversation between Gai-Sensei and Kakashi and watch as Sasuke runs down the wall, kicking up dust behind him. The wall and ground crumbling behind him.
I notice Lee gripping his crutch tightly.
Sasuke lets out a yell, dodging the sand that spikes to meet him.
"Chidori!" He yells, slamming his hand into the sand shell. Sand bursts around the blow as Sasuke's hand breaches Garra's defense. My eyes widen slightly.
The crowd watches in anticipation at what may happen next.
Suddenly there is a loud wail and my eyes widen.
"MY BLOOD!" It shreiks. I recoginse the voice as Garra's. My arms shake slightly and I stiffen, attempting to calm myself as Sasuke attempt's to wrench his arm from the sand.
"He... Drew blood?!" I whisper.
There is another loud wail as Sasuke activate his Chidori to remove his hand. I brush my hair from my eyes with a shaky hand. Sasuke wrenches his arm free and I gasp, bringing my hands to my mouth as a long, clawed arm shoots out in an attempt to grasp him.
"No... Its... Its waking up..." I whisper. My eyes tear up as fear creates a lump in my throat. The others gasp as the arm slithers back into the dome. Sasuke's eyes widen and I know what he saw.
Shukaku's eye.
Everyone turns to me as I take a abrupt step back, my whole body shaking. I was terrified of Shukaku honestly.
"K-Kanami-chan. Are you alright?" Lee asks. I feel tears rise to my eyes and I stare on at the scene before me.
"No... N-No I'm not..." I murmur. "Sasuke's going to die if he doesn't get out of there." I say. Everyone's eyes widen at my comment and tears flow down my pale face.
"What are you talking about?" Ino asks, eyes wide. Sasuke kneel's down, clutching his arm.
"I-I..." I cut off as a loud roar erupts from the shell. I take another reluctant stepback.
"It wants to come out..." I whisper, crouching on a step behind me and bringing my knee's to my chest.
Everyone watches me with wide eyes.
"... What?" Gai asks. I look him in the eyes, tears falling down my face and onto the floor. I lift my hands from my mouth slightly and murmur.
"Shukaku."
