On With the story!
Kyamyi's POV
"This is where you two will be sparring." Kakashi said.
This meant that if things got serious he would interfere; good thing because I don't want to have a murder on my hands.
"This is going to be fun." Chicken-ass smirked.
While he cracked his knuckles I waved to all my quote-unquote friends who were sitting up in the trees. I started at the right side starting with Hinata , then around to Kiba who was more close to the center, then to Naruto who was on the left side. Then I saw him. He was looking at me, tilting his head. He was standing on a branch with his brother and sister. Gaara; That's what Temari said his name was. He tilted his head further and I realized I had been watching him for a while, - not to mention I was starting to blush- So I turned to face Chicken-ass.
"Ready when you are." I told him.
"I'm always ready."
"Begin!" Kakashi shouted then disappeared.
I lunged at him and he jumped up into the air and did a back-flip over me. I felt the wind of a kunai past my face as I did a handspring forward. I landed easily on my feet, just in time to see him running towards me, kunai in hand. I grabbed one of my special kunai out of my pack; all of my kunai had my initials carved in them -K.K.- This one in particular had a wire string tied to the end. I let him come a little closer then I slinged my kunai so that the string wrapped around his and yanked it out of his hand making it land softly in my own.
I smirked at him twirling his stolen kunai on my finger and swinging my kunai by the string. He frowned and got out yet another kunai. I sighed and ran towards him, he did the same. When we reached the point where we would meet he jumped up over me and I slid down under him, I recovered first and threw my kunai up and it wrapped around him while he was still in midair. I threw the stolen kunai behind me hitting the real Chicken-ass as the fake with the wire string wrapped around him disappeared with a cloud of smoke.
I turned around to view my handy-work and sure enough there was a fresh scar on his right cheek close to his eye. He had a look of pure disgust on his face.
"Are you going to stop holding back now?" I asked him "Or do you want to play more games?"
"I should ask you the same thing." He said as he wiped blood from his cheek with the back of his hand.
He did a series of hand signs and before I knew it I was tuck-and-rolling away from fire.
"You know you shouldn't play with fire, the outcome is always bad."
I squinted my eyes and did hand signs of my own. Chicken-ass didn't even see it coming; he was stuck in a vortex of fire, no way out, no way in without getting burnt, except from under.
I did more signs and soon I was underground, a couple of more hand signs and I was in the vortex with him. I wish I cold freeze what I saw next and look at it over and over again.
It was Chicken-ass, searching for a way out, head whipping left to right looking for a weak point in the flames, reaching out with his hand then pulling it back when it became too hot. Unfortunately I had to defeat him and oxygen was running out fast. I ran up behind him, kicking him threw the wall of flames. A few seconds later the flames died down and I was welcomed to the sight of a singed Chicken-ass, breathing heavily. I smirked and crossed my arms satisfied by the look that could kill that was still plastered on his face.
He ran at me then jumped up and over me but he miscalculated and jumped to low; so low that I was able to grab his arms and swing him over in frount of me to kick him in his stomach. He flew back-first into a tree with a thud. He got back up and glared at me. Once again he ran towards me, this time when he jumped he remembered to keep his arms high but he forgot about his feet; I grabbed his ankles and slammed him to the ground. I jumped back just in case but his eyes didn't open and his body was limp on the ground, but he couldn't fool me
"Sasuke!" Sakura called to him.
"Don't worry he's not out of it, he's just resting." I told her.
After I said that I heard him groan and he got up, the same look on his face. Then he started with the hand signs. I looked up in a tree behind him and there they where; the two shadow clones that I stowed there just in case, and now I might need them.
When he was done with the hand signs I almost dropped to my knees in agony. Covering my ears and closing my eyes I couldn't even hear what the name of this jutsu was. I groaned because I did almost hear Chicken-ass's laughter. I opened my eyes and I saw what was the cause of the noise; lightning. I uncovered my ears, Chicken-ass was in full-charge towards me. My ears; I felt like I could rip them off, but I fought threw the pain. I backed up until I was pressed against a boulder; perfect. He was still running and I started my hand signs. To him I disappeared but realy I just went around the boulder, the boulder that took the attack that missed me by a toothpick.
I really don't like using my spirit release-jutsu, but I am not going to lose to a Chicken-ass. This jutsu requires a really focused mind, relaxed body, and, well a strong spirit. I've trained, long and hard, and even mastered it, but many things could still go wrong, this jutsu heightens the strength of the traits given to me from the cheetah spirit. I closed my eyes, I heard the wind move past his face as he turned his head, searching for me. I smelled the sweat as it formed on his neck. I heard the first clone as it snuck up on him from behind and heard skin rip with contact of a kunai. I heard it when he turned around and the sound when the clone disappeared. The sound of a kunai hissing threw the air came next, more ripping skin and the muted thud of a punch landing squarely in the jaw, more rapid punches, and I could tell where each hit, the stomach, the jaw again, the throat, two in the ribs. Then a hit from him which made the clone disappear.
"Come out here and face me yourself, I'm tired of all these games!" He called to me, there was exhaustion on his voice.
I stepped out from my hiding place, he was facing away from me searching, frantically. I walked towards him, not even I could hear my footsteps. It was when I was right behind him that I heard his breath catch in his throat. He didn't have enough time to do anything to defend himself because I grabbed his hair, nails digging in his scalp, then tripped him so he was now pinned, belly on the ground. I whipped out a kunai, brought it to his neck, and whispered in his ear. "You lose." I stuck the Kunai in the ground close to his face and got off of him, just as Kakashi appeared.
"Rematch!" Chicken-ass yelled. "Fight me again!"
"I don't think that would be to good for your health." I told him.
"She's right Sasuke," Sakura told him, she had been the first to come down from the trees and of course she goes to Sasuke.
I looked up in the trees, most of the branches were abandoned but some people were still in the trees, replaying what just happened is my guess.
Kiba was the first one who got to me. "Congratulations!" he told me
"Thank you," I smiled at him.
I saw green approaching and had to hold myself together. "Kyamyi, Congratulations, you have gained my respect." Weepy-spandex guy told me as he held out his hand for me to shake.
"I didn't want it, but okay." I muttered and just looked at his hand.
"What?" He asked as he dropped his arm to his side.
"What?"
"You said something?"
"I said 'what'."
"No, before that."
"Before, what?"
"Yes, before that." I could hear him getting aggravated.
"Before that?."
"No, before what."
"Before?"
"Yes!"
"Yes?"
"Just forget it."
"Forget what?"
He groaned and walked away rubbing his temples.
Naruto nearly mauled me as he came to congratulate me. "Look at my friend everyone! She just beat Sasuke, there ought to be an award for that or a ribbon or something!"
"Some food would be just as nice as a trophy or a ribbon." I hinted.
Naruto got it. "Alright everybody lunch is on-"
"Lunch is on me." Kakashi cut in. "Sorry Naruto, but I don't think you have enough money to feed thirteen people."
"And not nearly enough if one of those people is Choji." I heard Ino say.
"Hey!" Choji shouted.
"Well it's true!"
"But you don't have to say it like that!"
"How do you want me to say it? You don't want me to say you're fat!"
"I'm not fat!"
They both walked off in different directions, and Shikamaru followed after Choji.
"Make that ten people." I told Kakashi
"Come on then." He called. He jumped up in the trees. "You three come too." He told the siblings, and they reluctantly came along.
Once again I found myself hopping through the trees, following Kakashi. This time I found myself next to Hinata.
"Hi, Hinata, I haven't talked to you in a while."
"Hello."
"What's been happening in Hinata-world?"
"Kyamyi, I have to tell you something."
"Okay."
She got closer to me. "I told Naruto your secret."
My eyes widened. " The one with the G or the the one with the K?"
"The one with the K. I hope you're not mad."
I let out a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, I'm not mad."
"Really? But I can't help but feel bad, because you asked me not to tell."
"Any time you say more than one sentence I'm happy, really. But one day you will have to tell me how he got it out of you." I told her.
She looked down and blushed.
Gaara's Pov
Kakashi had paid for everything then left us sitting here awkwardly waiting for the food. We sat in a semi-circle booth; Kiba at one end, then Naruto and Hinata, next to her was Kyamyi, then there was me my brother my sister, the girl called Tenten, then Neji, then at the other end was Shino. There was light conversation going around the table.
I kept as much space as I could between Kyamyi and I, and she kept her head down, from the corner of my eye I could see that her face was red. She wasn't scared, people who were scared of me usually would avoid me at all costs, and if they were put in a situation where they had to be next to me then they would be shaking, not turning red. She wasn't sick because just a few minutes ago she won a spar match with Sasuke, no one can get sick that fast.
"Why is Kyamyi red?" I asked my brother, whispering in his ear. I was just gitting used to talking to my siblings like they were human beings, but when I had a question, I usually went to Kankuro, anyway, he was sitting right next to me.
He glanced over at her then smiled at me. "Think about it, what happens to Temari when Shikamaru comes around, or look at Hinata, she wasn't red before Naruto sat down next to her." He whispered back to me.
"I don't get it."
"Here is a lesson that I have to give you, big brother to little brother." He leaned closer to me. "When a girl blushes around you that means they like you, a lot."
"She likes me?" I widened my eyes.
"Yup."
"Do I... do I like her?"
"I don't know, do you?"
"How do I know?"
"You'll know." He relaxed his sholders. "You should talk to her."
"Talk?"
"You know, say 'hi' or something."
I turned looked down at her. "Hello."
She looked up and around, then her eyes finally fell on me, and her face got even more red, if thats possible. "H-hi, Gaara."
When she said my name chills went down my spine, when I looked Into her milk chocolate-brown eyes my mouth went dry, then watered when I looked at her perfect lips and the way she bit them when she saw me looking. I shook my head a little to clear it.
"I just wanted to congratulate you, so congratulations." I swallowed.
"Thank you, Gaara." She said as her face fell again.
When she said my name again my eyes rolled back in my head a little and I clenched my jaw. I have never felt like this before.
The food came and I just stared at it, she picked at it with her chopsticks, putting a few pieces in her mouth every now and then. I found I couldn't look away from her, but I did look away for a moment to make sure no one noticed. Of course no one did, no one would ever really looked at me except for Naruto and he was currently talking fighting styles with Kiba.
Everyone finished and left, Kiba left with Shino, Hinata left with Tenten and Neji, and Kyamyi left with Naruto.
My sister left on her own, so it was just my brother and I walking alone to our apartment.
"So, do you like her?" He asked me.
"I'm not sure, I know I've never felt this way about anyone, but I think I more than just like her."
"So you love her?" He asked seriously, he knows love is a tough subject for me.
"Love;" I said the word like it was in some foreign language. "Can you explain it to me further?"
"Love comes in many different forms, if you love this girl, Gaara it would be a different love from your friends and family."
"I think get it, theres a type of love, and the love I'm in is the love of a mother and father, not of brother and sister?" I asked, not really sure
"Exactly, so, you know you're in love? How?"
"You said my name and it was different when she said it, it made me feel like... like-"
"Like you were in love."
We ended the conversation there, and walked the rest of the way in silence.
