"The next fight will begin. Shikamaru Nara and Temari, please come down." The examiner said to them. Shikamaru was going to quit when Shounta said some thing that scared him.
"Shikamaru, you know if don't fight then Ino-chan will be very mad. And you know what happens when she gets mad, especially at you." Shounta said smirking to him. Shikamaru eyes widen in fright. Of coarse he knew what Ino would do, or had an idea. Women were unpredictable to him. He shivered at what she might do to him. It was much less trouble to fight.
"Alright, alright, I go! Leave me alone, troublesome girl." Shikamaru said to Shounta as he left for the stairs.
When he got down, Temari was already waiting for him. He sighed and walked to the middle of the arena. The examiner looked at both of them.
"Well here is the next match, begin!"
Temari sent a whirlwind at Shikamaru. When the dust cleared, Shikamaru was gone. Temari looked around for him. She saw his shadow jump at her form her left. She jumped when she saw the shadow.
She drew her fan in a defensive move. She was ready to fight and defend. She saw Shikamaru through the arenas shadow. She noticed he looked…. bored??? What! He was bored fighting her! She was enraged by the fact that her lazy opponent was…was bored!
"Alright buddy you asked for it." She muttered to herself. She sent another wind at him, trying to force him out of hiding. When she saw the shadow go farther than before, she began to panic.
She kept running as he chased her around the arena, her panic was not lessening. When he stopped, she found herself caught.
When she realized what happened, she knew she had lost. She stood five feet away from her opponent. She was afraid of what kind of attack he would use to defeat her. When he raised his hand, with hers following, she closed her eyes and waited for what he would do next.
"I quit." Shikamaru said broadly. What! What did he say! Temari opened her eyes in shock. She looked dimly at him She stared at him open mouthed.
"Nani! Why?" She said as soon as she got over her shock. "I'm out of charka." He said shrugging " I would have only been able to hold on for less than a minute." Shikamaru said as he let her go.
She numbly walked up the stairs, blinking.
Naruto and Shounta jumped down to the arena, ready to yell at Shikamaru.
"What the hell was that! You were winning, and you gave up! What the hell is wrong with you!" Shounta yelled at Shikamaru. "Ya, what's with that! How could you just quit!" Naruto yelled at him, also giving off his anger at his friend.
Shikamaru just held his hands to his ears, hoping to block out some of their loud yelling. "Man, you two are loud. Didn't you hear me say I was out of charka? Man that was so troublesome." Shikamaru said to them.
Shounta shook her head, almost in pity. "Shikamaru, Shikamaru, poor baka," She tsked "you know that Ino-chan wont listen to your excuse, right?" Shounta told him. "Hai, I know. It's going to be troublesome." Shikamaru sighed.
Shounta left the boys to talk to themselves. She crossed Gaara when he stepped on the stairs. When she got to the group she shivered, she saw that Sasuke had shown up. She silently hoped that Sasuke would win. But she knew that him winning was unlikely.
When Shounta left the arena, Sasuke appeared. The fight soon started, Shounta and Shino watched closely. When they heard Naruto and Shikamaru run past them to find Kakashi, they wondered what happened.
They looked at each other and nodded. When Shounta looked back at the fight, she saw something in the corner of her. She looked at what she saw, and stood dumbfounded.
The person that she saw smirked. "Oi, Shounta-chan, what happened when I was being treated?" The person said. "Ayra-chan, what are you doing here? Weren't you hurt?" Shounta asked Ayra.
Ayra smiled "Hai, I was hurt. But I'm fine now. I just wanted to see the fights." Ayra said grinning at her. Shounta sweat dropped. "So what happened so far?" She asked.
"Shikamaru fought with Temari-san, he did well…" Shounta started but was unsure of how to finish. "Shikamaru-san quit, and now Sasuke-san and Gaara-san are fighting." Shino finished in monotone.
It was now Ayra's turn to sweat drop. But her expression said 'what the hell'. Shounta couldn't help but laugh seeing her friend look so confused.
Ayra's fiery temper soon replaced her confusion. She cracked her knuckles, she looked mad. Ino had a temper, and Ayra had temper just as bad, but Ayra was scarier. "Shounta-chan," Ayra said lowly " remind me to hurt Shikamaru later." Ayra finished darkly. Chibi-Shounta nodded, afraid to anger Ayra more.
Even Shino stepped back, knowing Ayra's temper. He even admitted that she was frightening when angry, especially when she was shooting icicles at you. Let's not forget that she likes to curse at people many times when she's like this.
One thing was for sure. She may not have the Ickerrocka fire like others of the Ickerrocka, but her temper was of pure fire. She proved that she was an Ickerrocka from her temper. But most Ickerrocka's don't have a temper like hers, but they had the 'Flaming Hands'. She just got the Ickerrocka fire in a different way.
As the fight continued on, Shounta, Shino, and Ayra heard Kankuro and Temari talk about a plan. Confused, they sent Shounta to tell Shikamaru about this. Their attention was brought back when they heard Gaara scream.
That was the new chapter. I almost couldn't write this chapter because of all the hard homework. I have made so slight changes to my bio.There will be more to some of the characters. Also I have the summary of a new story I'm working on.
Please review...and if you could tell me what you think about the new story idea.
