Thank you for reviewing. Remember: I don't review until I get five reviews. I don't mind flames. If you have any ideas please tell me. I would be more than happy to listen. I don't own Naruto.
Chapter 4
"You." said Cho.
"Gaara?" asked Sasuke looking at the trees where Gaara stood.
"Yes." said Gaara.
"What's going on here?" asked Kakashi. Sakura was supporting Naruto who looked as if he was suffering immense pain.
"Gaara was watching us." said Cho.
"Gaara?" asked Sakura.
"Yes." said Gaara. He came out of the trees. An icy shiver ran down Cho's spine as she looked in the direction of Gaara's voice. He had almost killed her, if Tamari hadn't interfered then Cho may have ended up dead.
"Is that all you can say?" taunted Sasuke.
"Dobe, shut up." hissed Cho.
"What are you doing here?" asked Kakashi.
"Is it a crime to watch an old friend fight?" asked Gaara.
"Old friend?" scoffed Cho. "If almost killing me means that we are friends than yes I suppose we are friends." she smirked at Gaara.
"Enough." said Kakashi. "Gaara please leave I have training to finish." with that Kakashi waved Gaara away. So Gaara left, but he didn't go home, he found a place were he could sit and watch the others practice without being seen. After about three hours the practice was over. Gaara was surprised to see Cho was by far the most powerful. She easily passed Sakura in a climbing contest and had created more clones than Naruto. During their next practice she was to fight Sasuke. Gaara knew, and so did Shikaku, that she wasn't showing her full power. So he just had to wait for the exams. Secretly he hoped he didn't have to fight her.
Then he saw Cho coming in his direction. She gave him a friendly smile.
"You can come out now Gaara. I know you were watching us train." she gave him another smile.
"You... you were pretty good." said Gaara.
"Thank you." she gaze in the direction of his voice. Gaara had momentarily forgotten that she was blind. 'She fights well even without her sight.' thought Gaara.
"Are you ok?" she asked.
"Hn." he didn't know what to say.
"Why were you watching the practice?" she asked.
"Well... to see how good you are. I saw you punch that Naruto kid through those trees." he said.
"Oh you saw that?" she asked staring at the ground.
"Yeah. But why?"
"Because he made out that just because I am blind that I can't fight."
"And he was right." said a cold voice from behind them. Gaara and Cho turned. Cho could sense a familiar Chakra, this was Sasuke. Gaara only saw Sasuke twirling a kukuni knife between his fingers. Suddenly he threw it at Cho. But she had good reflexes and caught it in mid-air.
"You are no where as good as me, little blind girl." said Sasuke coldly.
Gaara's Pov
I saw Cho stiffen. Her eyes hardened. Her hand was balled into a fist.
"What did you call me?" she asked Sasuke. Her tone was that of extreme dislike. Although I wasn't supposed to be afraid of anything but I still wouldn't want to be Sasuke right now.
"I called you a little blind girl." said Sasuke.
"Baka! Shut up about her." I found myself yelling.
"Gaara calm down. I 'll handle this." she said icily. Suddenly snake tattoos seemed to form on her body. Her eyes lost their misty quality and narrowed. They looked like snake eyes. She was surrounded by black chakra.
"I'll show you weak!" she screamed. My eyes widened as I saw Cho punch Sasuke through countless trees. Then he slumped down. Her features turned back to normal and she lost her balance. I caught her before she fell.
"We probably shouldn't just leave him there." she mumbled steading herself. She walked over to Sasuke and easily slung him over her shoulder. We walked in silence to the hospital.
"It looks like he will be here overnight." said a nurse to me and Cho.
"Hn." I said.
"Okay." said Cho.
"You two should be getting home to." she said. I walked Cho home and we said our good byes. Then I walked home. When I got home Tamari started yelling at me for being so late, but I really didn't listen. Instead I went to the roof of the house we were staying in. I closed my eys and meditated. Then my eyes flew open. Someone was singing.
Quickly I lept from roof to roof to find the singer. Then the words of the song got clearer.
"You don't need sight to see the light.
No you don't need sight.
All you need is your lovers hand
A lovers hand to show you the light,
Come on lovers open you eyes,
open them to the light,
please lovers open you eyes,
look into the eyes of your lover.
Some young people,
They believe in love at first sight,
open you eyes to see the light.
You don't need sight to see the light.
Ohh ooooooooooooooooo
"Cho?" I asked. Indeed when the figure jumped up it was Cho.
"Ohhh, Gaara I'm sorry did I keep you awake?" she asked.
"No I don't sleep." I answere. "Cho."
"Yes?" she said looking at me.
"What happened back there, with Sasuke?" I couldn't help it I was curious.
"Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies." she said smiling
Then she went into the apartment leaving me staring after her.
Phew well that was fun. If you have any questions or suggestions please tell me. I would be more than happy to listen. O and if you were wondering I made up the song that Cho was singing. If you had heard it, it's a very pretty song. I hope you liked it! Please review!
