Hey guys, here's chapter two... I'm changing the plot a bit, so just please bear with me
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. I will never own Naruto. But, if I did, I would have totally made a musical episode. Ohkay, maybe not, but you have to admit, that would be pretty sweet.
Chapter Two: A Dream ?
The bottle began slowing down. Just when it was about to stop,
"Sakura! Breakfast!"
'…It... was… a… dream ?!?' An angry girl thought.
She reluctantly got up and began combing her pink hair.
But a REALY good dream! her inner-selfsquealed
'Yeah, but it wasn't real…' Sakura thought.
She chewed on that thought for a bit, when a loud noise from outside screamed her name.
"Sakura! SAKURA! I need to tell you something!" A recognizable voice yelled.
This better be good…
The young woman hastily went over to her window.
"What is it, Naruto." She asked calmly.
"There's a tournament thing, and you have to come down here right now, because otherwise you won't be able to enter! It's so cool! So hurry up, kay?" The blonde yelled.
Sakura groaned. This was not how she had planned to spend her day off from training. She had wanted to do some shopping, and then maybe get her nails done or something of that sort, but this little 'tournament' was standing in her way.
"It better be important…" She growled to herself, trudging her dainty feet down the stairs.
"Sakura HURRY UP!" Naruto yelled.
"What is it?" Sakura asked, half asleep, now in front of Naruto.
"Follow me!" Her blonde friend said, grabbing her arm and pulling her towards the unknown.
After about half an hour of pulling and pushing, Naruto and Sakura had finally arrived at their destination, the tournament.
"Naruto, what kind of tournament is this?" Sakura asked timidly.
"Survival of the fittest!" Naruto yelled, enthusiastically.
Sakura groaned.
Why did you have to come here? We could have been in the middle of a facial right now! (A/N: Remember, that's inner Sakura…)
'Because I was being nice! What else was I supposed to do?' (A/N: thinking Sakura…)
I dunno… tell Naruto to shut up!
Sakura once again forced herself to ignore her inner self, which is honestly a hard thing when you think about it.
Sakura looked around at her competition. Some looked tough, other looked weak, some were small, and others were huge. It was about split between guys and girls, which she thought was a little strange. She turned around when she saw Hinata, Shino, and… Kiba. Her eyes immediately lit up.
'Ohh what should I do? Go over there and talk? Smile and wave?'
While Sakura was once again battling with her inner self, the three ninjas made their way over to her.
"Hi S-Sakura." Hinata said timidly.
"Hi guys. You're in the tournament too, I'm guessing?" Sakura said.
They all nodded their heads yes. When Sakura was about to start a conversation, she heard a man in the front of the group ask for attention. At once, all eyes were on him.
"Welcome to the Sham (A/N: Sham … I just made it up, sorry for lack of creativity) Tournament! As you all know, the point of this tournament is to get all of the five symbols stamped on your paper. You can find these stamps by searching thru these woods, but be careful of the other teams. It's basically survival of the fittest." The man yelled.
"What… teams?" Sakura asked.
"Yes, you will all be paired up randomly with one other person." said the man "in fact, the teams are listed right here on this sheet. Go take a look."
It took a bit of pushing and shoving, but Sakura had finally managed to make her way up to the sheet.
"Lets see… Sakura… Sakura… Here it is! I am paired with…. Kiba?" Sakura said.
For once, she had not wanted this. She was not the greatest ninja, had many weaknesses, and she did not want to show this to someone she wanted to impress.
'Dammit…'
Why so sad? YOU'RE WITH KIBA! I mean, we're with Kiba…
She gave a barely audible groan. This was not going to be fun.
"Hey… partner…" Kiba said, looking at the girl. "We should probably get over there…" He said, pointing at the starting line.
"Oh… right." Sakura said, once again trudging her feet to the gate.
She heard a sneer from behind her.
"You're in this tournament?" The boy sneered.
Sakura turned around.
'Sasuke?' She thought to herself. She had thought he had left this village for good, and now he's back?
Sakura, ignoring him, turned to Kiba. "We're going to win this. We WILL win this!" The girl said fiercely.
"Yeah… definitely." Kiba said, a little freaked out by Sakura's sudden burst of energy.
The man began talking again. "When these gates open, this tournament will officially begin! Ready… On you're mark… get set…"
Yepp, that's chapter two! Wasn't happy with this chapter either… I'm gunna start all the fluffy stuff in the next chapter, so yeah Please R&R !
