Shikamaru had already started to think about a strategy. "She is an Uchiha, so she most likely has the Sharingan and can use Genjutsu." Shikamaru thought to himself.
Kyoko was just looking at him curiously, wondering what he was doing. She had no idea of what he could do or what kind of jutsu he could use.
Shikamaru continued to think, "Who knows what kind of variety jutsu she can use. From what I saw, she can use healing Ninjutsu, and probably can use water-element type. Plus, if she's anything like Sasuke, she can probably fire type jutsu as well. This isn't going to be easy." Shikamaru sighed at the lack of information he had.
Kyoko got tired of waiting and said loudly, "Are you ready yet, raise your hand if you are." Shikamaru raised his hand and Kyoko smirked, "Right, start!"
Neither of them moved for about thirty seconds. Finally Kyoko drew her sword that she carried on her lower back. The ninja sword was longer then a kunai but shorter then a katana. Shikamaru readied himself for an attack. The girl suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind Shikamaru. He gasped at her speed.
Kyoko whispered in Shikamaru's ear, "I got tired of waiting." Then she giggled. She had her blade at Shikamaru's throat. Shikamaru blushed – though it was barely noticeable – at her being so close to him. He didn't understand why he was getting flustered at this troublesome girl. Shikamaru just shook it off and got back into the fight. They both then heard something rustling in the bushes. They both looked over and saw a boy with pale grey eyes and long brown hair. He came to see a girl he's never seen before holding a blade to Shikamaru's throat. The brown-haired boy got into his fighting stance.
Kyoko quickly removed the blade and backed away. "I'm not trying to hurt him, since I'm pretty sure that's what you're thinking. We're just seeing what each other's abilities are." The boy stood straight again and looked towards Shikamaru. Shikamaru nodded to assure the other boy.
Kyoko smiled and said, "My name is Kyoko, and if I'm right, you're from the Hyuuga clan."
The brown-haired boy walked forward and said, "Yes, I am." He paused then thought. "How did you know?" he enquired warily.
The black-haired girl pointed at his face and said, "Your eyes, I've never seen anybody besides the Hyuuga clan with eyes that color."
Neji just nodded and said, "So you two are sparring, who is winning?"
Shikamaru and Kyoko looked at each other then back at Neji and shrugged. Kyoko scratched the back of her head in thought.
"Well we just started but I guess I am." Kyoko shrugged again. Then she looked up and her eyes glistened excitedly, she had an idea. "Why don't you join us? Neji Hyuuga and Shikamaru Nara against Kyoko Uchiha!"
Neji was taken aback; this was the first time he heard her last name. "You're of the Uchiha clan. I thought Sasuke was the last one." He exclaimed.
The black-haired girl sighed. "Is this going to happen every time I meet someone?" she thought to herself. "Obviously he's not. Sasuke is my cousin," she smiled. "Now about the fight, are you in or not Hyuuga?"
Neji smirked; she thought she stood a chance against both of them. He was going to teach her to never doubt the power of a Hyuuga, "I accept your challenge."
Kyoko clapped, "This is going to be so much fun!" All three the teenagers walked to their positions; Neji and Shikamaru on one side, Kyoko on the other. Before they started Shikamaru began to tell Neji what he knew so far about the black-haired girl.
"I'm sure you're aware she can most likely use Sharingan and most likely Genjutsu too, though I haven't seen her use it. Also, if she's anything like Sasuke, she can use fire-type jutsu. I've also seen her use healing Ninjutsu and her healing Ninjutsu I saw, it looked like water, she can probably use water-type jutsu as well. Plus when she used that healing jutsu, I didn't see her use any hand signs, she is also very fast." Again Shikamaru sighed. "This is going to be really troublesome." He thought to himself in annoyance.
Neji just nodded and said, "Are you ready?" The reason he asked was because during the time Shikamaru was explaining, the black-haired girl was stretching.
She continued to stretch. "Yeah, what about you two?" She stood up straight.
Neji and Shikamaru both nodded. Neji got into his fighting stance. "Begin." He demanded.
Kyoko just smirked; she was so sure of herself and it was really annoying Neji.
Kyoko laughed to herself quietly and said, "Give it your all, like it's a life-death situation, or you won't stand a chance." Now Neji was really annoyed. He whispered something to Shikamaru and he just nodded. Kyoko was curious to what they were planning, but at the same time, she didn't really care.
Neji began to run towards Kyoko and she smiled slightly. "Finally. Bring it, Hyuuga" Kyoko easily dodged the attack from the Hyuuga. All of a suddenly she couldn't move, at all. She looked towards Shikamaru and saw that he was smirking; she was trapped in his Shadow possession jutsu. Kyoko looked up at him, but her eyes were closed. When she opened her eyes, they were red with black swirls. It was the Sharingan eye. Shikamaru was about to look away from her eyes, but it was too late; Kyoko trapped Shikamaru in a Genjutsu.
