Chapter 13

Kisa wasn't paying attention, so I poked her, "Hey!" She squealed, I pointed to the board, "Ohh, I see." She backed towards the wall then she launched herself over the rail back flipping in the process. She landed thirty feet down on her feet with the grace of a cat.

I smirked at the shocked expressions of Kankuro and Temari, even Gaara's eyes were slightly larger than usual.

"She just..." Kankuro stuttered pointing at her.

"Jumped," I finished grinning, I waved and walked back over to where Azame and Rinji were standing. Azame looked slightly worried about Kisa but Rinji looked totally cool.

I looked down at Kisa, she had a bright smile on her face. The other girl Kin, had an evil cocky smile on her face. I looked at her sensei, it was the same sensei that was staring at Sasuke during his fight. He was looking at Kisa with a hungry look on his face, I felt a twinge of worry shoot through my stomach.

The leaf shinobi coughed before saying, "This match is now started."

Kisa and the girl nodded, Kisa stood still as the girl rushed at her. At the last moment Kisa disappeared and reappeared behind her. Kisa pushed the girl and she fell on her face.

"You bitch!" The girl, Kin, hissed trying to kick Kisa's legs from under her.

Kisa danced out of the way laughing. Kin flicked her wrist and Kisa yelped in pain. My eyes widened as I saw three needles sticking out from her leg.

Kin laughed and stood up, she pulled out more needles, "My secret weapon." She threw them at Kisa, who dodged them with difficulty, she jumped against the wall and ran along the railing. Needles hit the wall with blinding speed, the bystanders ducked to avoid getting hit by them. Kisa didn't dodge all of them though. Five were lodged in her right shoulder. I decided then to intervene.

Kisa I said through her mind, Switch!

She looked at me from the corner of her eye, No, She thought fiercely, This is my fight! Not yours! She totally blocked me out then.

I looked at Rijni panicked, "She won't let me in!"

He smiled at me, "Good." was all he said.

"She won't be able to win this fight herself!" I exclaimed looking worriedly at him.

"She'll be fine," Gaara said from next to me, I jumped I didn't hear him walk up next to me. "She's determined."

"Yeah," Kankuro replied after him, "She may be hyper but that girl has some power."

I looked back to the fight. Both of them now looked worn out. Kin was cut and bloody, Kisa had many needles sticking out of her. They were now standing about thirty feet from each other panting.

Kisa started doing rapid hand signs, "Water style, blue dragon jutsu!" She hissed, water swirled around her body taking the form of a large winged dragon. It poised above her ready to strike. Her hair worked its way loose of the ponytail that she usually used when fighting. It whipped around her face angrily.

Kin took out more needles and readied them. Her black hair was a mess and her headband was askew. She was also breathing heavily. I thought that Kisa may actually win this fight.

Kisa screamed and she and the dragon lunged at Kin. But Kin dodged to the side throwing needles at my sister, she missed judged though and hit her head against the wall. The needles hit Kisa in the neck and she collapsed.

I tried to jump over the railing to help her but Azame and Kankuro held me back.

"Kyra," Azame gasped as I elbowed her in the stomach, "Wait until they call the match!"

"NO!" I hissed fighting their grips, "She might be dead!"

"Kyra," Sensei Rinji scolded, "Calm down, NOW!"

I stopped fighting and looked down at the arena again, the shinobi stood there for a moment looking at Kisa and Kin, waiting for one of them to get up. Then he said, "Since neither one of the contenders is able to continue I call this fight a draw," He stopped and coughed before he continued, "Neither of them go on to the next round."

I looked expectantly at Rinji, he looked back and nodded. I jumped over the rail and ran over to my sister. I picked up her lifeless body and held it close to me. "Dammit Kisa!" I sobbed shaking her, "Do you do this to me!" I shook her harder. "KISA!"

Kankuro put a hand on my shoulder, I could feel that everyone in the room had their eyes on me. I didn't care. My sister was dead, needles protruding from her multiple places on her body. Tears fell on her face, they were mine. I looked up at Gaara, his eyes were wide, I had never seen so many emotions on his face before. Shock, hurt, anger.

"Kisa!" I sobbed, shaking her again, "Wake up." I heard Azame crying behind me. I shook her harder, "KISA! You can't leave me!"

"Sissy!" She moaned, I stopped shaking her, "That... Hurts."
