Chapter 17: The Contest Begins
'Damn…why couldn't Sasuke-kun be with me…' Sakura secretly thought.
"I'm sorry, Sakura-chan. Y-you probably wanted to be with Sasuke-kun…" Hinata muttered timidly.
"Ahaha, that's alright, I don't mind. I should be sorry for being partners with Naruto." Sakura lied.
"Sakura-chan, just admit it. You wanted Sasuke!" Ino grinned.
"Oh fine, I did…" She replied glumly.
"Dammit, and I have to be stuck with Shikamaru."
"Don't be a hypocrite, Ino-chan." Tenten smiled.
"Hmph…"
The four girls were walking to the destination the form instructed them to go to. The boys were nowhere in sight, probably already there. Finally, they saw a giant dome, and Lee running towards them.
"Ohayoooo!" He bellowed cheerfully.
"Hey Lee-san." He ran full speed towards them (in hopes to impress Sakura)
"I can't wait till the contest starts! I wonder what the ramen guy wanted me to do! The place looks real nice!"
"What's the place look like?" Ino asked.
"It's a really huge dome."
"Uhh, we know that, but what's inside?"
"Ohh, it's like some kind of forest! I bet there's a lot of monsters around!" Lee exclaimed, again pointing the obvious. They decided not to try asking again. When they went inside… the four saw many different people, ages about 9-16. They spotted Naruto and Sasuke talking in a corner.
"Wow, this place is so huge…the ceiling looks like the sky—cloudy and high up…" Hinata said, surprised, pretending she didn't notice them.
"Heh, we'll fix things…" Naruto sniggered. When he turned to see the four watching them, he ran over, Sasuke following along.
"Ohayo! Are you ready Sakura-chan?"
"Yeah, sure…"
"YEAHHH, we're going to win this!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Pshh…yeah right…" Sasuke mumbled.
"Yeah, WE'RE going to win, right Shikamaru?"
"Whatever…"
"OK, LOOK'S LIKE EVERYBODY'S HERE!" A man yelled, in an amazingly loud voice. "HELLO CONTESTANTS. I'M MR. AKI. THESE ARE THE RULES--UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE MAY YOU SWITCH PARTNERS, ESPECIALLY OF THE SAME SEX…" Some 9-11 years old giggled at this immaturely. "YOU CANNOT PHYSICALLY HARM NON-HOLOGRAMS. JUST ONLY USE THE KUNAI AND SHURIKENS GIVEN, THAT WON'T HURT YOU, BUT WILL DEDUCT YOUR SCORE." He cleared his throat. "THE WINNERS SHALL BE ANNOUNCED, AS YOUR SCORE IS SHOWN ON MY PRIVATE COMPUTER SCREEN. YOU HAVE 5 HOURS. ONCE THE TIME IS UP, YOU WILL HEAR A LOUD HORN. IF YOU USE YOUR WEAPONS ANYTIME AFTER THE HORN, YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. THAT IS ALL."
"Aw right! Let's do this!" Lee yelled, punching his fist into the air.
"What are you and the others going to do to play the contest?" Sakura asked.
"Don't worry about that." Kiba smirked sinisterly. Shino, whose coat should've covered his face, had a very apparent smile on his face.
'Scary…' Hinata thought bashfully.
"WE WILL BEGIN AS SOON AS MY WATCH HITS 10 PM EXACTLY…ANNNNNDDDD… NOW!"
Next chapter, I'm going to start with Sasuke and Hinata. And don't worry, things will get fixed… :D Hell yeah, I hit the 200 mark! Again, thank you all!
