A/N: noname here, experimenting with the word "gennin". Hope you like it! Staring Into The Eyes Of Death

Huh?

Sasuke felt himself jerked into the air harshly, his knee's scraping the spikes, causing a burning sensation in his legs.

He felt himself being pulled quickly upwards, with slow jerking movements. It kind of felt like…

Flapping? As he flew by the rock where Karasu had been standing before, he noticed her smirking at him. She must have summoned a bird to get me out of there…but she made the trap, why would she do that?

As his eyes flicked back to where she had been standing, he noticed she wasn't there.

Ooookk then…

He knew she had saved his life, because those spikes hadn't been fake. He could still feel the burning sensation in his legs. Hold it… burning… poison? She poisoned those spi… spikes…aaaaa shit…

Karasu smirked as her bird dropped Sasuke outside of the hole, unconscious because of the poison she had envenomed the spikes with. Even a little scratch could successfully knock a person out for at least half an hour.

"wow…" mumbled Sakura. She now knew why she hadn't stood a chance against Karasu. If she could beat Sasuke… whoa! She mentally screamed…

Karasu sighed as she felt a kunai lowered to her neck, and she knew it was Sasuke. With a small puff of smoke, the unconscious doppelganger disappeared

"That was a neat trick you pulled there…" Sasuke commented lightly. This girl was definitely a worthy adversary

"Well, if you want to learn it, you'll have to pester Kakashi into teaching it to you…" it was the first time any of the gennin had heard her voice. It was steely… almost metallic. The sound cut through the air…

Kakashi walked up to both of them, and Sasuke lowered the kunai in his hand.

"good job Sasuke, I think that you may very well be the first gennin to have beaten my sister in a fight!"

"…" and so Sasuke went back to his normal I-don't-give-a-crap attitude, and started to walk back to the log.

"Not so fast, Sasuke! Its you and Naruto next!

***Need I really describe their fight? I mean, we all know Sasuke is gonna win!!!***

"Next up… Naruto and Karasu!" he said. Naruto went white. He knew just how close Sasuke and Karasu's match had been, and he didn't want to go through the poison-on-the-spikes like Sasuke's doppelganger did. Kakashi just wanted to see how his sister would hold out against her future team…

The match started just like any would, the kunai throwing, Dodges, poofs of doppelgangers, so on so forth. But… things got messed up when Karasu disappeared… again.

Awwww man! I was hoping that she wouldn't do this!!!

Naruto dodged just as a kunai slashed down where he had been standing a second before. Karasu disappeared again, using the same tactic she had with Sakura.

She kept reappearing, and Naruto dodging just as he sensed her chakra behind him. It could have gone on for hours, to, until Karasu reappeared, and about 10 doppelgangers with her. They surrounded Naruto, and he knew the fight was over.

All of team seven had experienced a hard day. Kakashi had nearly tripled their training schedule because of the two very strong gennin in his team. Even those two were slightly tired, and after that days work was over, Kakashi had a very big announcement.

"We have a very important mission! Have everything you need for 2 months tomorrow morning!!" With that, he walked off.

"Hey, Karasu, aren't you going with him?" Sakura asked, politely

"Na… he takes to long to get home. I was thinking maybe we could all go out for ramen?"

I guess she wants to get to know us… Sakura thought as all four of them walked off, Naruto running all over the place in excitement. He really did love ramen.

A/N: ok ok.. I know it wasn't the best, but then again, I cant keep at least a LITTLE humor out of my stories. Short chapter ya, but Ive got a little case of writers block. Sorry this one too so long to, but hey, I want reviews. They make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside…. And their a great relief from school, which sucks. Really sucks. Is just plain stupid!!!!! Cya! o.o
