Chapter 12
I glared at her, she just grinned and walked away. I turned back to Kankuro "Like I said I'm sorry."
He raised an eyebrow, "It's ok, I guess," He scratched his head and grinned, "It didn't hurt that bad..."
I looked blankly at him, "You have a bruise on your face, Kankuro."
"Yeah," he said grinning wider, "I know"
I sighed and looked over at Kisa; Gaara was talking to her intently, he was still angry but he was calmer now. I took her hand, "come on, we have a big day tomorrow." Kisa nodded tiredly, I turned to Gaara, "Thank you." I said quietly.
Gaara nodded and walked out of the room, Kankuro followed with a quick goodnight.
Kisa sighed and collapsed on the bed, "Night night, Kyra..." she mumbled falling asleep. Azame fell asleep on the couch, I soon fell asleep next to Kisa.
We awoke to cold water thrown at our faces.
"Sensei!" We squealed sitting up quickly, "What was that for!"
He looked at us boredly, "You two need to be up already, they're waiting for the last team to get in." He turned towards the door, "Hurry up and get dressed. Meet me down stairs."
"Hai sensei," we said as he walked out of the room, I shook out my wet hair then took off my shirt, it was sopping wet. I grimaced and threw it into a corner. Kisa did the same thing.
Azame came into the room and leaned against the wall, she was totally dry. I glared at her.
"Why aren't you wet?" I said quietly. I pulled a dry shirt over my head.
Kisa stood next to me drying her hair, "Yeah why aren't you all wet?"
Azame rolled her eyes, "Because I was up on time." She folded her arms, "Are you two ready to go?"
"Yeah," I said putting my headband around my neck. We walked down to a large room where the other teams were waiting for the Hokage to give instructions. We got into our line and waited too.
We listened to the Hokage talk until a leaf shinobi jumped down and interupted him. He said something about there was too many people who made it past the second stage, and that we would have preliminaries. Meaning we were going to have to fight today instead of in a month.
I looked at out sensei, he didn't look happy, neither did the woman who was in charge of the second stage.
I wasn't paying attention to them though, not really, I was more paying attention to the kid that my sister called 'Emo' the kid called Sasuke. He was bending over in pain, the pink haired girl and the blond, Sakura and Naruto were trying to convince him to drop out.
Kisa poked me, "What's wrong with Emo?" she asked a little loud.
"Shhh," I hissed, "I don't know. He looks like he's in pain, or something." I looked back over to the Jounin, they were talking intently and looking at Sasuke.
We turned back to the Hokage when he said to choose the first two contenders, they were Sasuke Uchiha and Akado Yoroi.
All the rest of us needed to clear the area so we followed our senseis up to the second floor of the room. We looked over the railing and I saw Sasuke's sensei talking quietly to him. I vaguely wondered what he was telling him. I was more busy paying attention to the other person, Akado.
He seemed slightly cocky, like he knew something was up. I looked over at his sensei, he had a evil grin on his face and he was staring at Sasuke. He looked up at me, I felt a shiver crawl down my back.
I broke from his gaze and looked at Kisa, she had a hand on the rail, she was shaking, eyes closed tight. Gaara had a hand on her shoulder trying to see what was wrong. I ran over to her and turned her to me.
"Kisa," I whispered, "Calm down." I looked back over to the man across the room. He was looking back at Sasuke again.
"He's here," she cried, "Bad Nibi is here. I felt him look at me."
"He's not here Kisa," I said urgently, "Calm down!"
"Yes his is," she gasped hyperventilating, "I felt him looking at me!"
"Kisa," I whispered, "Look at me, he's not here. Just watch the fight. It's going to be ok." She swollowed and nodded. "Good."
We looked back to the fight, Sasuke wasn't doing to well, "Emo is getting his ass kicked." Kisa whispered to me grinning.
"Watch your mouth Kisa," Gaara said blankly, she looked at him and stuck out her tounge, he glared at her She 'meeped' then hid behind me.
The fight was short, I noticed that Sasuke didn't use any chakra, and what he did use caused him pain, they hit each other and they both went down, we all watched in silence as Sasuke was the first to stand up.
The Shinobi called the match, "The winner is Sasuke Uchiha. He will move on to the next round." He had a coughing fit before he continued, "Now the next two up will be," We all watched as the names flitted across the board, "Kin Tsuchi and," we waited for another moment for the next name.
The name made me gasp, "Kisa Kuroshina." the shinobi called out.
