"Next up...Nuji Exomun and Xuan Shou!"

Go easy on him, Nuji, he's just a kid.

It was the only boy left on his team, because his companions had quit. Nuji grinned and jumped over the railing, standing near the prompter within seconds.

"Come on slow poke!"

The boy seemed to be from the Rain. He was smirking as he got into his stance. Nuji only grinned back wider, her eyes wild.

"Forfeit or die."

"I could say the same to you," was all he answered.

"Ready?" The prompter took a moment to cough. "Go."

Xuan didn't waste a moment and hit her with basically a jet of water. She didn't move though, she just stood there and grinned as the boiling water raced over to her.

God damn you, Nuji.

I used my chakra to lash out and create a makeshift shield that diverted the water. She continued grinning as the the boy ran around her, attacking her with water, kunai, and- finally- a smoke bomb.

The boy raced inside, attacking Nuji head on, and I stopped protecting her. The people in the stands heard a scream and leaned over the railing to see what had happened. As the smoke cleared, they saw Xuan lying soaked in blood at Nuji's feet. She had blood on her hand and a kunai stuck out of the boy's chest and shoulders.

"It was fun, Xuan, but I wish you would've forfeit. I suppose they could still save you, but I doubt they will."

She walked away to the stands, her grin gone and Xuan's blood still dripping off. Everybody was staring at her, and her Sensei was watching her with a look between disbelief and disgust.

And so my Jinjuriki returned to her spot and continued her drawing in the cement. Gaara was up next, and she found herself intrigued by his fight with Lee. Lee was quick, and all the rookies seemed so excited as they cheered for him. Why? Why would they cheer for him? He wasn't even on their team! Even still, Nuji found she was interested in the battle's outcome for once. She smiled again as Lee dropped a couple weights from his legs. It was an innocent smile, and she began cheering as well as Lee became quicker.

She wasn't cheering for Lee though, she was cheering for Gaara. She was mostly doing it to annoying the rookies though, but she felt Temari and Kankuro watching.

"Kick his ass Gaara!"

It wasn't until the end when Gaara almost killed Lee that she began to understand.

"Nekomata, is this the pain I've been causing others?"

Yes.

A tear slipped from her stolen eye as she watched Lee's sensei stand between an unconscious Lee and a furious Gaara.

"Then I won't do it anymore."

Good.

Then Lee began to stand up. "Guy", as the others were calling him, was furious with his student then realized the boy was unconscious yet still ready to fight. Gaara seemed to be racked with pain for a moment as Guy cried for his student. Gaara began walking away, and Lee eventually collapsed to the ground. As the medics came out, Naruto's sensei jumped down to stand beside Guy.

Then the a medic looked up at Guy and shook his head.

Then suddenly Nuji stood beside them. "Is he dead?"

Guy's weeps told us the answer.

"You guys know you can just restart his heart, right? I mean, his heart stopped because of the sudden shock, not because there was a problem with it." She turned to Naruto's sensei. "You. You're a lightning style right?"

He seemed a little nervous but nodded.

"Put just enough of your chakra in your palm that it sparks." She grabbed his wrist as he did so then put it against Lee's chest. His body arched but he coughed a little and began to breath again.

"H-how did you know to do that?" One of the medics stared at her for a moment.

"I'm not an idiot, that's how." She left them after that, jumping back over the railing despite the height. "Now can we continue!"

She sat and began on her drawing again as the medics carried Lee away on a stretcher.
