Chapter 7
"You didn't chicken," said Kiba
"Hah like I would," I yawned from my comfy position on the post. He seemed to get annoyed at it and Akamaru started barking, I smiled down at him "You brought a crowd," I said again looking up at the small crowd behind him
"Hai, they wanted to watch me beat you," he smirked
"Hey guys," I said waving, Naruto, Neji and Shikamaru acknowledged my gesture while the others ignored it, I noticed Tenten walking over smiling and waving
"Oi, I'm staying here I'll be rooting," she said waving at the crowd
"Its great to see you again," I replied
"Do you think you can beat him?" she asked
"I've changed Tenten-chan, you'll just have to watch," I said grinning at her then turning back.
"Are you coming down," shouted Kiba from the other side, I shook my head angering him even more
"I do better from heights, 'he' taught me from above," I said not mentioning Deidara and his clay birds.
"Fine, I'll just beat you more for it," hissed Kiba turning into fight mode. I nodded and watched as he came forward to attack.
"Doton Doryuuheki!" I shouted breathing in then out, a small sludge line of mud came out and I heard Ino laugh.
"Like a mud puddle'll stop him," she cackled
"Careful Ino," I called before it plummeted upward in front of Kiba, going to 25ft high. I smirked and leaned back again.
"Oi what is this?" shouted Kiba,
"Try and get past," I said lazily looking at the group. Neji was using byakugen to watch, Naruto was fidgety, Ino was fuming and Lee and Tenten were cheering. I smiled down at the group beside me who I would call the closest to me. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain on my back and felt around. There was a kunai protruding out my shoulder blade.
"Aw and to think I thought it would be friendly," I said mock sadly turning to see the original Kiba and Akamaru behind me. Shit they got me there…..but how? I growled darkly and jumped down. I had been too confident and now I was paying the price for it. Kiba stood with Akamaru in a replica of him.
"Aw you destroyed my fun," I snarled angrily at him, if there was one thing I got from Sasori was a very short temper now. Came in handy a few times before when I kicked Kisame's ass for being a pervert. I slouched slightly as I swung my arm back and tore the kunai out my back. I flicked it over to the tree and stuck it in the bull's eye...
"Guess we're doing it the tough way then, fair enough," I said slowly before flicking my wrists. I pumped the chakra into my hands and they glowed the dark red of my clan's suffering.
"What's that?" asked Sakura
"Healing chakra," said Shikamaru lazily smirking
"No it isn't that's not healing chakra," she replied
"When we first met her, you remember her clan right?" said Neji
"Hai,"
"She said she didn't have a kekkai genkai," explained Neji going slower for them
"Hai, she did mention it, a pathetic clan," said Sasuke from the tree, I turned and growled at him before looking at Neji. I nodded and they carried on.
"Well this is what you would call it. The Sasaki Clan deny this as a kekkai genkai, they believe it doesn't matter if you have a bloodline as long as you can fight, am I right?" Said Lee butting in then looking at me
"Hai, look come here," I called and beckoned Sakura over, she hesitantly came over and I smiled at her waving at Kiba for a time out. He nodded and stayed where he was "You've been training right? There's a cut on your arm from it," I asked, she nodded looking at her left arm "Stay still now," I explained she nodded and I moved my hand over the cut. She gasped softly at it and I smiled. The cut healed slowly and I pulled away
"That was quicker then normal healing," she explained, I grinned widely then Lee carried on
"Much to your disappointment Uchiha Sasuke her clan is as important as your was," he said smiling
"Never, her's isn't even a shinobi clan much less an actual clan." He hissed I turned to look at him directly.
"Shut up Uchiha," I hissed "Your just as bad as your brother, then again I guess family is always family," I shrugged, I saw his eyes narrow and his Sharigan come out.
"You'll regret that," he hissed
"Doubtful," I replied coldly "I worked my ass off working and being taught by your arrogant brother and his 'mates' so I bet it I won't," I added turning and jumping onto the training post and sat down again. I closed my eyes and I waved at Kiba.
"I forfeit, I have to stay alive for my exams so I'll pass," I called I heard him sigh and start to walk over. I heard running and gasps beside me.
"Chidori!" someone yelled, I opened one eye and saw Sasuke running forward his hand alight with lightening that was sounded like…..tweeting. I smiled as I saw him run over. Just as it was about to hit me and I could feel the light pricks of pain I grabbed his wrist tightly diverting him into the training post next to me. I heard him cry out and I smirked at him. Ino and Sakura had wide eyes as well as most of the group and I laughed out loud. I looked down on my hand and grimaced at my burned hand that had curled slightly into a ball. The natural safety position for the body. I looked over and saw Sasuke clutching his hand painfully as I saw the bones sticking out at a wrong angle. I jumped down pocketing my hand to stop everyone seeing. I missed a small point. Kiba had been next to me and saw.
"Leave me alone," hissed Sasuke
"Bollucks you idiot," I replied smiling "Let me heal it,"
"No," he said "chid-" he started lighting his other hand before I interrupted him. I grabbed his fist and gritted my teeth as it burned my hand again. If it takes this much for him and the others to trust and respect me and recognise my clan then…….so be it… I winced as it stopped slowly, he was looking at me as if trying to decipher what just happened. I smiled crookedly.
"Now will you let me heal it," I asked strained, he nodded and I knelt down in front of him. I pumped chakra into my hand and slowly clasped his wrist. As usual he inhaled a bit and relaxed. When I was finished I stood up and pocketed my now second burnt hand into my pocket and turned to the others. Half were speechless and the others looked half scared.
"Ohayo!" I cheered at them oddly, Kiba snapped out of it first
"Let me see your hand," he asked holding a hand out, I shook my head
"I'm fine, really," I replied I just need to rest before healing myself……why the hell does this always happen…if takes so bloody long to heal myself but it's 10 times faster for others……..I hate my life right now……..
"No your not," added Lee "If I read correctly, the Sasaki clan can't heal themselves immediately, it's the only weakness of their clan. They cannot heal themselves right away for risk of dying. That's why they don't fight," he explained to the group
"Shut up Lee, I don't need a running commentary of my life thanks," I hissed at the leotard wearing boy.
"Fine, fine," he replied lifting his hands up in front of him. I sighed loudly then hooked my bag quickly with my arm and turned to walk away.
"Arigatou Uchiha-san, for making my life a little interesting in this hell hole!" I called waving then walking "Your wrist will be usable by tomorrow," I blinked slowly turning my head slowly to look around. In front of me there were two trees moving. My sight was getting blurry and I was wobbling from side to side.
"If only Deidara was here, he could help me," I muttered loudly before I fell forwards and closed my eyes as I hit the hard ground fading out.

They all watched as Amaya wandered further into the woods, the opposite direction of Konoha.
"Sasuke-kun!" squealed Ino running over to Sasuke who had recovered from the original shock.
"Hn," he said quietly
"Leave him alone Ino," called Shikamaru, everyone nodded and Sakura looked at Sasuke in the eyes.
"You felt it too, didn't you," said Sakura quietly to Sasuke, everyone was quiet listening to them, Sasuke nodded seriously
"Sadness, hope, faith and despair" he replied seriously
"I think I know the reason," said Shikamaru
"Nani?" asked Shino coldly
"She like Naruto and Gaara before, seek recognition, not like Naruto's but a different one. Her feelings reflect inside her healing." He explained
"But if she wants friends then why be so horrible," asked Ino loudly
"Because you weren't exactly the welcoming squad of a lifetime," hissed Kiba loudly
"Oi it was you who wanted us to tail her," shouted Naruto pointing to him. He huffed and turned.
"I'm going after her, the Chidori is made to kill not injure, I also struck her with a kunai," said Kiba looking towards the way where she was "Hinata," he said,
"Hai Kiba-kun," she said quietly "Byakugen!" she called and looked forward. What she saw was Amaya struggling through the trees about 100 yards away. "Forward, q-q-quickly K-Kiba-kun," she said, Kiba nodded and charged forward racing towards where she was said to be. He spotted her a few feet away just as she was falling.
"If only Deidara was here, he could help me," she muttered loudly before I managed to catch her. She looked sickly pale, her hair was sticking to her hair as it hanged in lanky spikes down her head. He picked her up and quickly sprinted with Akamaru next to him to the only place he could think right now. The Hospital.
