Whoo hoo. Here we go again. I'm not even gonna bother you this time. But hold up: forgot the disclaimer again. I really wish I could own the Naruto gang…then I could make an entirely separate yaoi series! Yay! Ha. I think some of this MIGHT have hints of yaoi…I dunno. Depends on my personal interest and the feedback that I get. Oh well. I don't own any Pokemon…darn. And neither do I own any Yu-Gi-Oh! crap. Sigh. But I do own Spyro, Eva, and share ownership of Kitty with my buddy. Oops. I guess I bothered you after all. TTFN! (Where'd that come from?)
Chapter Six: The Ninja Battle! (Numero Uno)
(This chapter was entirely done by moi. Well, the first coupla things weren't…but…t'ever. You don't care.
"Hey, what's the deal, Spyro? What're you doing here?" Naruto yelled.
"FYI, I just won a duel. What you're here to lose again?" he answered.
"Grrr…watch it! I'm here to win, believe it!"
"Whatever."
"Hey, I want a rematch! Trust me, that wasn't my best." Eva cried.
"You still have to go through two more tests, you know."
"Two more…" Eva groaned.
"Char." Blaze piped in.
Iruka popped in from out of nowhere.
"Excellent."
"Whaddya mean, "excellent"?!?! I just lost!"
"Shh, that's not important. What's important is that you have your next battle to worry about. This time, it will be a ninja battle!"
"Yes!" Eva cried, "I'm totally gonna kick some butt!" she made punching motions in the air.
"But wait. There're conditions."
"Not more conditions!"
"Yes, more. You must wear the official girl's school uniform in order to battle."
"What?"
"Safety reasons. And fairness. We don't know of anything that your outfit might….do…"
"That's bull!"
"Maybe, but we can't take any chances."
A group of some of the other students, which included Lee, Sasuke, and Sakura, wandered into the arena to watch the battle.
"Oh? I did not know that another battle was taking place." Lee commented.
"Sure is, Lee." Spyro said, gesturing at the girl. "But she's not doing so good so far."
"SHUT UP! You haven't seen me in action yet!"
"Maybe I haven't." he said dryly.
Forget this kid…Eva thought. You may be super cute, but you're a jerk and a loser when it comes down to it.
She prepared to scream at him again.
"That's enough!" Iruka shouted then. "Spyro, you go change."
"What? Aww…I never get to wear regular clothes…"
"Shinobi don't complain. Now shut up and go."
"I'm not a sh-sh-sh-…er…er…" Something about Iruka's words seemed to discomfort the boy. The others in the room shivered.
"Go."
"God, you know what? Sometimes it's not even worth it…" he muttered, but left all the same.
"Now Sakura. Would you please go get a spare uniform that our applicant can borrow?"
"First she's gotta beat "top student"…" Sasuke drawled.
"You're just jealous!" the top student yelled from across the arena. Sasuke just rolled his eyes as the others looked unsettled.

A while later, the possible new student stood several yards away from the seasoned top man at the academy. She was wearing a skirt. It was very uncomfortable. Eva did not like skirts.
The fact that there were pants underneath made it a little better, but the short shorts still made the self conscious girl feel awkward. She messed with the belts that connected the skirt to her waist and looked up at the boy who stood before her.
In the break, Spyro had abandoned the punkish black chain pants and t-shirt for a polo with a long tie and crisp collar, followed up by a pair of casual slacks that accentuated with the tie, lengthy purple hair now pulled back into what might have been the guy version of a pony-tail, but most of the "emo" part in the front was retained.
By now a crowd had gathered in the stands; apparently, news traveled fast in the academy. Eva tried not to look up at them, but ended up doing so. There was a multitude of people, different villages, regions, cities. They'd be an interesting conversation topic…if she could get in to get to know them better.
"Are we ready to begin?" Iruka asked. Both contestants gave a sharp nod. "Then…ready…set…"
"Go!" they cried, standing for a moment to anticipate the other's move. When neither did, Eva took it as a chance to disappear and reappear right behind her opponent to deliver a sweep kick below the legs.
Instead, she felt herself being pulled up. In the split second that she'd taken to transport, Spyro had turned around and took the opportunity to grab her kicking leg…then to grab the other one. He held her upside down for a total fo about three seconds. The skirt, in that time, flopped down. As she tried to pull it up, the mortification sinking in, he dropped her with a thud on the battle arena floor.
Everybody in the stadium began to laugh like mad.
But that wasn't enough. The boy silently called a time out to help her up with an apologetic grin, brushing her off from behind. She was a little confused at this sudden and suspicious offer of assistance, but was not in a position to do anything about it. As she looked around at the crowd, slightly disoriented and preparing to jump back in, she felt the sudden sensation of the skirt that she donned rushing down over the micro shorts and down to her feet.
Uproar.
The girl, a combination of pissed and humiliated beyond reason, let her eyes dart around the arena to find some haven, to which she immediately disappeared to, shrinking into the corner of the doorway that led into it.
A couple of seconds went by, where the crowd stood in anticipation and the proctor, Hayate, coughed and began slowly to raise his hand.
"So does our new contestant withdraw?" he asked slowly, hacking some more.
Eva looked around, staring at all the faces that stared back at her, glancing around the arena at the boy who still held her skirt, and everything else.
"Never," she growled, staring at the man with the everlasting cold and grinning.
You see, she had an idea.
Shuriken, kunai, and other ninja weapons of which I forgot the name of very sorry flew out of the air. Where they had materialized from seemed impossible, as there no longer stood a young girl.
