Alright guys I know its been FOREVER! But I don't have the next chapter ready quite yet, so as a relieve I'll show you a little show down that I plan to have later on in the story but decided to give you guys a little sneak peek.

Story takes place during the second test, where we shall see Hinata VS Neji. Basscially this is my reenactment of the battle they had together during the Preliminaries, since Hinata won't be fighting Neji during that time again.

Also we will see why Raken was afraid that the guards might notice him.

--Chapter Teaser--

The birds flew across the sky, as an open field laid view to two Hyugga fighters, Hinata proudly baring her Rain Village Symbol, whilst her cousin bore the Leaf Village.

Neji and Hinata stared each other down, each of them had their Byakugan activated and where studying each other's chakra networks, figuring out the other's weakness.

"Hinata…" Neji's voice was barely a whisper as he stared at his cousin, "You've grown since the last time I saw you." He said bewildered that her chakra system was evenly, matched with his own.

"Neji," Hinata said a small smile on her face, "It has been quite some time. And yes I have grown quite a bit." She said slipping her hands into the kunai pouch on her thigh. But Neji didn't back down, for one he didn't know the seal, and two he doubted it would harm him much. "I was taken to the Cloud Village, when a very nice man noticed my potential and took me to Rain to train and grow." She said and pulled out two kunai twirling them around. "And now cousin it beings!"

With this the two cousin's charged at each other, Neji holding a kunai of his own…

The guards that had seen the Rain Village Team enter before where suddenly remembering the green haired boy, "I don't think it could be…" one whispered, "But it looks so similar to the boy!"

"I know, I know we must tell the Hokage, that the Blood Mist Demon is alive!" the second one said.

Raken had purposefully separated himself from Kenji and had set out to find their opposing scroll, which in this case was earth. He had spotted a few teams here and there, but since this was the beginning of the test he really couldn't do anything to them, well at lest not until night fall.

At last night had finally fallen and Raken had situated himself on a tree branch where a team laid huddled around a dying fire, they where part of the Leaf Village, due to their attire and the symbol's on their head bands. A low hissing sound could be heard as Raken slowly started to make hand seals, (A/N I'm making up a jutsu here! Don't be mad its not all powerful) "Master of the Sky…Blood Mist dance." He whispered under his breath, and set his index finger and his middle finger down on the wood, suddenly the wood began to creak as it expanded and slowly groaned as blood red mist began to pour out of any cracks.

Raken's face was currently hidden by his long hair, but you could easily see his face…which now had sharpened teeth and a more monstrous appearance to it. The blood mist fell to the ground wrapping around the fire and with in a second choked it out, it then began to travel toward two of the tree contestants asleep on the ground.

There was struggling as the mist choked them to death, cutting off any air as well as the flow of blood, they where stilled none the less, "A quick yet satisfying death." Raken said as he stood up, and waited for the mist to travel to the next person, but the ninja was already up and rolled backwards shakily holding a kunai in his hand, "WHO ARE YOU?!" he shouted and the rustling of the trees stifled, "I am the demon reborn…I am the blood mist!" Raken shouted evil as he suddenly sank into the trees…
