A Different Shade of Bleu
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto but I do own Bleu
Hello, I'm back with a new chapter! I would like to thank:
V.S. Pt 1.
"Well what are you waiting for?" Kakashi asked Sakura, as Sasuke snorted.
Sakura hadn't been able to move. She was twiddling her fingers. And hair. But she was ok. Well yeah, she was dead nervous. And scared. And yeah, she foresaw embarrassment.
'I have to fight the boy I like' she thought sighing. 'I just know I will be ridiculed, and both in front of Sasuke(for the 10,000 time) and my new teammate Blue' she looked towards said person. Whose calm expression as she was sitting on a rock comforted her.
'Maybe, she won't notice…or maybe she's like me.' But her hopes dropped again as she looked at her again, her face cold, and her gaze set in a point Sakura couldn't see.
"Well…?" Sasuke asked irritated, rolling his eyes as he read her expression.
'Sometimes I wonder what I see in her?' he thought amazed. He looked at her again. 'Maybe it's her eyes…Wait what am I saying?! I think it's time to forget it, she could be too much weight to bring me down…maybe she can wait till I'm done with Itachi.' He shifted his gaze to the other victim of his brother, who was sitting there calmly, as if no one else was there with her. 'I wonder how he tortured her. I wonder if he used his TSUKIYOMI?'
(A/N: Tsukiyomi is a technique Itachi uses on victims to torture them. It's an illusion where you think you are trapped in for a couple of days but it's actually a few seconds. It can make you re-live memories, or something the wielder wants you to see. Bad things mostly. Stuff like deaths. For Example, with Sasuke he made him re-live his parents death over and over, from Itachi's point of view.)
'Great…' Sakura thought sadly as she walked slowly to stand in position in front of Sasuke 'Now I've made him wait.' Sakura thought again as she took out 2 kunais.
"Allright, you know the drill but I'll say it again since Bleu is new." He stated clearing his throat lazily, but Bleu didn't even shift her gaze. Even so Kakashi continued. "ok, it's a two man fight. You can take out a weapon, like 2 kunais. The point is for one of the team mates to trap the other one without any escape but to die, wins. Now here are the rules, since it's training you can't actually use the knives toscratch, cut or stab. It's another practise, because you need to control you length, and strength." He finished. "Any doubts? No? Ok. Let' begin." He said sitting down and opening his Icha, Icha, Paradise book.
As Kakashi sat down Naruto laid down(stomach facing the ground, and hands on his cheeks) watching Sakura and Sasuke. Bleu shifted her face too.
Sakura shifted into attacking mode. She lunged at him clumsily, as he dodged, she was thinking too much to concentrate. She kicked, he dodged. She swung her arms with the kunai, and he ducked. She threw a kunai and he moved out of the way somewhat easily.
(A/N: don't get me wrong Sakura is good, but right now she's too nervous and embarrassed. And it happens to all of us right?)
Bleu noticed that it was Sasuke that made her clumsy (if he was like 2 miles away she would be a good opponent), and she remembered what Sakura had said not too long ago:
"…Because he's the hottest looking guy in Konoha and every girl is after him, including me!"
Bleu winced slightly at the flashback. 'That's why I hate feelings, and don't let them take over.'
She turned back to Kakashi whose face was buried behind his book. She heard him giggling. But she just rolled her eyes.
Sakura was having a hardtime on attack mode. But she kept at it. Bleu thought either it was because she was stubborn but, the look on Sakura's eyes told her there was another reason…fear.
'There's another girl in the team now, can't stay behind…nor(she looked at Sasuke)let my guard down. I don't wanna hit him though.' She convinced herself. Her attacks doubled, and she speed up her movements. Even though it wasn't easy to move out of the way of the attacks, he did. And she hadn't even grasped him.
'Am I always gonna be bad at this?' she thought going into defense mode.
As Sasuke launched into attack mode, Sakura felt a rush of panic and adrenaline.
(A/N: if I was Sakura I would be scared too!)
'Sasuke is attacking…the cold blooded, heartless Uchina Sasuke is attacking!' she thought panicking.
Somehow, the same as Bleu, Sasuke saw Sakura's panic fill her eyes, so he threw his kunais on the floor. Sakura stared at him bewildered as he whispered loudly enough for Sakura, and Bleu(who was near)to hear:
"I don't need those to defeat you!"
Sakura felt gratefulness and her heart beat slow down, as Sasuke circled her. Suddenly Sasuke ran and kicked but Sakura had foreseen this move, but as she jumped back she realized it was an illusion and the real Sasuke was…
"Caught ya!" she heard him whisper behind her as she fell on the floor, because he tackled her.
Kakashi looked up at Sasuke who was holding Sakura down.
"Sasuke is the winner." He claimed as he neatly placed his book in his jacket pocket.
Naruto got up with a jump. Then he started to do some stretches. Bleu watched him, and got up.
"I guess it's our turn." She said to Naruto. Naruto smiled hugely.
"Come on Bleu, show what you've got!" Bleu rolled her eyes "I gotta tell ya I'm hard to beat. Your chances are 2 out of 20" he exclaimed.
"That's one out of ten you idiot." She said bored.
"You admit it! I knew you'd come around." He said happily placing his hands behind his head.
Bleu decided it was useless to talk to the child-like-teenager, as she walked to the small clearing. As she got there she forcefully unwrapped a small piece of her bandages, and tied it around her neck.
"You will need all your energy to fight against me." Naruto said proudly, ignoring the fact that if she didn't place her bandages on,it wouldn't be good.
Bleu limited herself to shrug, as power (for the second time that day) sealed itself. Her expression paled for a split second. Naruto took out his kunais and stood in attack mode. Bleu calmly took out her kunais barely before Naruto launched for her. As he closed distance on her, she…she disappeared (it seemed to him). Soon he felt a hard kick at both his chins, and he felt himself fall to the ground.
Outside the fighting area, everyone else observed, as Bleu made a sign with her fingers, that Naruto didn't notice. Now there was two Bleus: a real one that made a split, and another one that remained standing (she let the audience(Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi) see it because she only shielded the view from the front).
(A/N: If this makes any sense…if it doesn't you can ask in the review and I'll gladly answer it.)
Blue had been on a split where she held herself up with her two hands, then she had lifted her body up (with her hands) but only to switch position instead of being almost sitting on her hands she was doing a handstand with a split that Naruto couldn't see as she had "disappeared" to him. Then when he got nearer she turned her hands and impulsed her leg, towards him kicking both his chins in a move that he sent him flying backwards. As he fell she pushed her legs up and jumped backward her back facing Naruto. She turned quickly, for she new Naruto wasn't so easy. Either he was toying with her, or was too stunned she could pull off those tricks for she was a girl.
She winced slightly at the thought. 'Any girls are stronger than any over-confident boy, or even any boy. Don't underestimate me!'
Surprisingly to Bleu, as Naruto fell he pushed himself upward with his hands when they reached the ground. He grinned evilly at her.
"Good, but not good enough!" Naruto said as he launched into a kick, Bleu dodged. Unfortunately for Naruto, as he said this she had foreseen he would do something like that, and she moved discretely towards a tree, as she jumped, she let her frail body stand in his leg making him falter, and distracted him from hitting the tree. With his kick he hit the hard trunk of the tree. Even harder because at that moment Bleu jumped of his leg pushing his leg towards the tree too. This happened really fast so Bleu was like 30 milliseconds on his leg before he hit the tree.
(A/N: it's a fic, don't sue me!)
"Oww" he yelped, looking confused, angry, and astounded at a calm Bleu. He took out his now bleeding leg from the tree extracting some wood too. He looked at it with a grin then he threw it hard behind Bleu.
'This outta do the trick!' he thought as he threw it.
Bleu saw this and her mind worked rapidly. Naruto had one flaw…As he turned into the small wood using his doppelganger technique, the wooded double didn't have a shadow.
'Aha, the one thing that fails him is the shadow placing.' Bleu said as the shadow started to grow.
'So that Naruto is the double and the stick behind me is…' her thoughts raced as the Naruto double launched at her.
Bleu grabbed her kunais and counted 3…2…1 She rapidly swung the kunais over her head and on to an invisible person's neck behind her she moved one of her foot in a crocked way, as if blocking an invisible foot from moving, in a split second the double became the stick, and the invisible neck was now Naruto. Bleu had positioned her hands in a position where he couldn't move a muscle unless he wanted to die. He couldn't back up either because Bleu's foot had him tangled.
"What?!" he exclaimed, "how did you know that."
"Bleu, winner" Kakashi said not surprised really.
Bleu shrugged and lowered her knives, and untangled her foot from him, that made him stumble unto Bleu. The impact was a surprise, as Naruto's fit body fell onto her frail one. Sakura gasped as they fell onto the floor. She stood up, and ran towards Naruto who moaned.
As she and Sasuke stared(and in Sakura's case ran), at the fallen figures, Naruto tried to get up, but his face was covered in her soft dark purple hair. They both got up at the same time, Bleu trying to get him off her. When he was on the ground his face was covered in her hair, and he could hear her mumbling:
"This idiot…he better get off me!"
As he did, Sakura arrived and helped him up. Bleu staggered up her face still not failing her calmness. She stood up, and looked at Naruto.
"Your too clumsy…idiot" she said a small smirk on her face, but it quickly recovered.
For once Naruto felt happy, she told him he was an idiot, but because he was…and not even that...she didn't scream at him, like Sakura was now doing. She didn't judge him just because, but because it was true. He gave her a big smile, he saw her expression falter, as it softened, but quickly as if never there, her cold eyes examined him, as if trying to find out if he was playing with her.
He decided not to mention that but another mystery. "How did you know?" He asked bewildered.
Bleu decided that she had interacted to much with this boy, and showed him an expression that was enough for her to last about a year. She was not used to falter. And she decided not to push it, but told him coldly(almost chillingly):
"You need to practice the shadow of your doppelganger…"
Naruto slapped his forehead, "Damnit, pure luck you have!"
Sasuke was not surprised she beat him, but he was surprised that she knew about his shadow, it had taken him a while to find it out. Sakura still glared what she considered to-clumsy-to-walk-three-steps-without-falling teenager.
'No surprise' Naruto thought, 'she's the girl form of Sasuke. Which is good…for me. Maybe I can ask her to train with me, and even on a date.' He thought smiling distractedly.
Bleu was about to sit down as Sasuke Glanced at her and said:
"My turn."
(A/N: hey guys…I had planned to have all the fights in this chapter but it feels long enough already…but the next chapter will be up really soon! Like in a day or 2, I promise)
