Chapter 5. The fight

Once Kakashi said they all could officially start; Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke went into the forest area where vegetation is dense. While they did this, Thi walked over calmly and stood in the open area. As Team 7 hid behind several bushes.
"What is she doing?" Sakura questioned.
"How am I suppose to know?" Naruto replied.
"She's expecting us to make the first move." Sasuke answered.
"So what's the plan?" Naruto questioned.
They all looked out into the empty land. Thi was standing there, her hands crossed and facing the lake that was near by. Suddenly Thi turned around throwing kunais towards them. All of them aimed for Naruto, soon enough she had pinned Naruto to a tree. She started to walk forward towards them; she did multiples of hand seals. Sasuke then grabbed Sakura's arm and ran into another part of the forest. Before Naruto knew it he stared at Thi with her mouth open. Purple gas was leaking from her mouth. Naruto who didn't have a quick reaction inhaled the purple gas and stopped moving. He was paralysed for a short period of time. Long enough for the whole spar to be done.
"Such a simple jutsu, and yet you fell for it. I knew you guys wouldn't be smart enough to make the first move." Thi laughed in front of Naruto.

Once again she stood there, waiting. Behind her, Sasuke jumped out throwing a few kunais towards her, while he flew over her. Without a flinch to the kunais she caught them in one hand. Behind her stood Sasuke, with a kunai next to her throat.
"Had enough yet?" Sasuke questioned.
Thi gave a simple smile and replied "Sasuke, to question your opponent is a bad move. You buy them time. Out of all people, I thought you would know this." Then Thi turned into a log.
"Damn, substituting jutsu." Sasuke cursed. Another Thi stood there in a tree laughing at Sasuke as he looked around for her.
"You shouldn't under estimate Sasuke", a voice said behind her.
"Your right, but I never under estimate Sasuke for a second. I know he can do better." Thi answered in uninterested tone.
Thi then turned around looking at Sakura, "I'm guessing you like him. Right Sakura? You know, I really hate fan girls."
"And you don't like him?" Sakura shot back.
"I've heard you got pretty good marks in ninja academy, but maybe your not as good in the actual field."
"…You shouldn't be talking. I can see through your smiles and your charm."
"You amuse me my little fan girl Sakura. But I got to give it to you; you do get points for guts for challenging me like this." Thi smirked, while taking a few steps closer to her. Sakura looked around trying to move away. When she looked in front of her, Thi turned into smoke. "It was a clone. She was just trying to catch me off guard and it worked." Sakura panicking. Out of the blue Thi appeared kicking her in the stomach, causing her to slam into a near by tree. Thi walked towards where her body had lie unconscious. "Don't worry little fan girl Sakura, I won't tell him." Thi got up looking in all directions; she sensed a large amount of chakra near by.
"Sharingan" Thi whispers. In seconds her eyes turned into a deeper red. A more blood red and three little dots appeared in each eye.
"Now that she is taking care of, lets look for little Sasuke" Thi said to herself looking for him. Thi ran swiftly towards the open area where she once stood. There was standing Sasuke.
"I knew you would come Thi," sneered Sasuke.
"Am I really that predictable?" Thi smiled.
"I see you mastered the Sharingan."
"You haven't seen anything yet." Thi giggled. Before Sasuke could react, Thi moved her hands in front of her, closing her eyes. An enormous black dragon appeared, circling around Thi and then lunged forward to Sasuke, Sasuke tried to dodge it but the dragon was moving swiftly with ease. As Thi wanted, it lunges in all directions wrapping around Sasuke. Thi slowly walks in front of Sasuke, pulling a kunai out.
"Had enough yet?" Thi asked calmly.
"No." Sasuke says angrily.
"Your stubborn Sasuke." Thi smiled. Holding the kunai next to her neck, slitting a tiny part of his neck.

"Nice job Thi." Kakashi said from behind.
"Thanks." Thi says removing the dragon from Sasuke and pulling her kunai away.

"What was that? I never remembered anyone in your clan to posses such an ability." Sasuke asked.

"A lot can change in nine years Sasuke. Things can happen to you. " Thi said, not even answering his question.
"Come and help me move Sakura and Naruto." Kakashi commanded.

When they got to Naruto, Thi removed the kunais that pinned Naruto to the tree. But Naruto just fell to the ground, but still didn't move.
"Naruto?" Kakashi asked.
"He can't move or talk, poison gas. Paralyses the victim for a short period of time." Thi replied.
"Eat this Naruto, it will help reverse the poison gas." Thi said giving him the herb. Once Naruto ate it, he started to move once again.
"Where is Sakura-Chan?" Naruto said panicking.
"Over there." Thi answered pointing her finger to an area.
"What!" Naruto yelled, running towards where Sakura was laying unconscious. When they all got there, Naruto picked up Sakura and they all moved to a clear area where they could all rest. Kakashi was sitting on a log, still reading his Come, Come Paradise, while Naruto was sitting next to Sakura, waiting for her to wake up. While Sasuke was sitting away from the group, leaning on a tree and Thi sat on a rock next to the lake.
"Should I tell you..." Thi whispered quietly, looking at the lake.
"Tell who?" A voice said behind her.
"Nothing." Thi replied looking at Sasuke's reflection in the lake.
"..."
"Let me heal that cut on your neck, it's the least I can do." Thi asked, knowing that his answer would be no. Sasuke never wanted help from other people. Why would this time be any different? Thi thought. His stubborn.
"Okay." Sasuke replied. Both we're shocked with his answer. Thi put her soft hand on his neck. Her hand started to glow red , and she removed her hand.
"All done." Thi declared. They both looked away in different directions, trying to hide their blush.
"What happened?" Sakura asked, gaining back consciousness.
"Thi knocked you out cold." Naruto explained trying to help her up.
"Where is Sasuke?"
"Over th-" Naruto was cut short when Sakura saw Sasuke and Thi sitting near a lake as she ran to them.
"Sasuke are you okay? I thought you got hurt!" Sakura said jumping on Sasuke with a hug.
"Worry about yourself." Sasuke said coldly getting her off him. Soon enough he realized that Thi was gone. Who was just in front of him a few seconds ago before Sakura had jumped on him. Finally he spotted her walking off towards where Kakashi and Naruto were. He walked after her, catching up. Leaving Sakura all alone looking at him follow Thi.
"Sasuke and Thi…", Sakura said quietly with a hurt expression on her face.
At last when all of Team 7(even Sakura) were together. They all sat down and waited for Kakashi to make further instructions.
"We'll since Thi won in less then the time limit, then I guess we should all call it a day. But for lunch, your all on your own there." Kakashi concluded.
"Aww, I really wanted for you to pay for my ramen." Naruto said sadly.
"I'll pay." Thi said.
"What?"
"I'll pay."
"Yay! Thanks Thi-Chan. Lets go!" Naruto said pulling onto Thi's hand, dragging her away.
"Wait for me!" Sakura yelled, running after them.
"Wait." Thi pleaded. Both Sakura and Naruto stopped and watch the girl run back to Kakashi and Sasuke, wondering what she was doing.
"Come on Kakashi and Sasuke. I know you want to go." Thi smiled.
"Sure, why not." Kakashi replied walking near Naruto and Sakura.
"Sasuke?" Thi asked again.
"..."
"I promise to train with you…" Thi offered.
He grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to him again. They were a few inches from each other.
"You win." Sasuke smirked. He grabbed her hand and dragged them closer to the group since she was still shocked that he did that.
Everyone stared at the two. When Sasuke and Thi finally got to them, there was a long silence. No one said a word, when they started to walk to the Ramen stand.

Thi: Ohh mysterious Dragon. Well, the fighting scene kind of sucked. Obviously I suck at writting a fighting scene. But I promise to make the next one better. Enjoy!
