Chapter 5:Sasuke's Sand Dilemma

"Yo...Kianna"
She jumped slightly and turned in her seat only to see Kakashi staring back at her. She stood up and looked back at him, keeping her emotions in check. She smiled at him "Hey, um, How did you know I was here?"
"You have a very distinctive scent. You were the one Naruto tried to talk to."
She noticed his voice and face remained expressionless, which made matters worse. She wanted him to be angry. She wanted to shout that she was sorry, but she couldn't, not here. Especially with curious eyes watching. She could feel Sakura's eyes burning the back of her neck.
"Well, you caught me out!" She replied back awkwardly. There was a painful silence, it felt like a millions years. Why hadn't the match started yet? At least then she could pretend to concentrate on that instead. She couldn't take her eyes off him and he, the same. They both nearly cracked until.

"KIANNA"

She'd never been happier to have seen anyone who had interrupted this torture. Unfortunately for her...It was Gai!
"Why, I haven't gazed upon your beauty for at least four years! You have grown more beautiful with each second we have been apart; I knew you hadn't yet succumbed to the grave!" Kianna bowed her head, sat down and didn't say anything, but Sakura could swear she went a strange shade of blue.
"I don't think she heard you!" Kakashi commented causing Gai to strike a dramatic pose "Silence Kakashi, rival of my youth, you have always got in the way of my and Kianna's love. Now young lady" He pointed to Sakura "make a space for me so I can sit next to my beloved!" Kianna knelt forward and put her head in her hands, groaning loudly.
"What? I didn't hear you!" Slurred Kakashi looking at Gai lazily.
"GAH!" Exclaimed Gai, tears coming from his eyes, "Damn you and your modern attitude!" Kianna chuckled into her hands and raised her head looked at Kakashi, who was smiling back. She always loved Kakashi's lazy attitude especially when used against Gai. Weirdly, though, Gai actually managed to help and break the ice between the two and Kianna felt a lot more comfortable.
"Hey Sakura, who was in that seat next to you?" Kakashi asked
"Oh that was Ino" She replied "But she ran off somewhere when Sasuke came. To get a better seat I think..."
"Could you move so I can sit next to Kianna"
"Course."
Sakura moved to the right and Kakashi sat in her previous seat next to Kianna, she noticed the large gap that Kakashi had left between her and him when seated. In the background, even more tears were streaming down Gai's face. Kianna had put her head in her hands again, willing her head not to look up.
"Yo, grave robber!" Kakashi repeated
Kianna couldn't help but look up. He had his hand up waving at her and his eye was curved into a smile. Her thoughts wondered to his other eye, the one that her brother gave to him.
"Why does anyone think I was dead?" Kianna asked, meekly peering at Kakashi.
"You did disappear for four long years, Kianna, makes time for rumours to spread, fiction becomes fact." Kakashi emphasised 'four long years' with a quiver in his voice, frowning. Kianna knew it. He was angry at her, but at least she got some type of reaction out of him.
Sakura had been watching this strange behaviour from her new seat and struggled to understand what was going on. Before she could quiz them about it, a hush spread throughout the crowds as Gaara walked onto the battlefield. It was about to begin...

As the eerie stillness continued, like the calm before the storm, Kianna heard Kakashi count, looking around the stadium as he did so.
"One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight...Eight Anbu members in this huge stadium. That's not enough to cover this area."
"As long as we don't know when the enemy will attack" Gai replied a stern look upon his face "The Hokage is forced to distribute anbu in critical areas."
"It's about to start"
Gaara made the first move. Sand started to slowly slide out of the gourd on his back as he sadistically smiled at Sasuke. But something seemed to jolt the Sand Genin and Sasuke heard illogical mumblings coming from him. "Mom" was the one thing that he said that stuck out the most. Gaara said it with such greed and insanity. He jolted again and the sand that had been up in the air plummeted to the ground.
"Come" He said, inviting Sasuke to start their fight.

Sasuke threw two shuniken at Gaara, but they were caught by a clone created by Gaara's sand. He ran toward the clone which shot sand straight into his direction, but he dodged, leaping into the air and managing to destroy Gaara's clone with quick strong punches and kicks. His fist moved in to punch Gaara in the face, but when Gaara's sand defended him, Sasuke disappeared and attacked Gaara from behind. Sasuke punched him powerfully in the face, causing Gaara to fly a couple of inches before he slammed down to the ground. Sasuke continued to punch and kick his opponent with his incredible speed and force. Everyone in the stadium looked with awe at the young boy, except Kakashi, who smiled underneath his mask, feeling proud."How much training did you make him do?" Asked Gai, his face like stone. "How could he become like that in only one month?"
"In hand-to-hand combat" replied Kakashi "I made him picture Lee's movements, as he had seen them with his sharginhan. He knew Lee, that's why he was able to obtain it, although he went through a lot of trouble to get it."
Kianna was lost. She had figured out that Lee was the strange stern looking Gai -like boy in bandages, but she neither knew him or his fighting technique. She decided to stay silent, in case she said something stupid. So much had changed when she'd been away. Suddenly, the sand genin below placed his hands together and the sand began to rise around him incasing him in a tight ball. Sasuke punched the ball, only to be draw away by sharp pointed object that formed on the surface, desperately trying to prick his skin. The ball seemed indestructible.
"Kakashi-sensei!" Came a panicked voice from behind. Naruto ran up, with Shikamaru at his side. Both panting from exhaustion
"Sensei, please stop the match now!" Everyone looked at him, surprised
" He's..." Naruto continued "totally different from us. He's not normal..."
"Naruto, what are you talking about?" Sakura replied
"He lives to kill people! Sasuke is going to die!" A strange eye started to form in the sky, distracting everyone for a moment but Naruto's voice brought them back to attention. "Kakashi-sensei!" He yelled desperation in his eyes.
Kakashi looked back to the match.
"Don't worry" He answered back in a calm voice. "We weren't late for nothing."

After a few futile attempts at trying to crack open Gaara's attack. Sasuke stood still and started to loosen the straps around his left arm. He ran up the opposite wall to Gaara and make hand signs. Kianna instantly recognised them,
"You taught him that?!"
"Just watch!" He replied, his eyes focused intently on Sasuke. A charge started to appear from his left hand and he ran full tilt at Gaara's shell.

Note: Hope you liked that one, Kakashi is finally here, a little bit angry bit still here! Oodles of Toodles xx
