A/N: Here's some more chapters for you. I love these. Enjoy!
Neji versus Hinako
I went down to the infirmary where Jin was being kept. I tried to get in, but the medical ninjas shooed me away, saying "He needs rest and you're too noisy." Although worried, I gave up and headed to Hinako's battle, which had surely started by then.
I came in to the valley with it hailing, and hailing pretty badly. As it did, it grew larger and larger till it was pretty dang hard to avoid it. I sat down in my seat, which now felt empty, without Jin or Hinako there. Sadly enough, I had begun to wish Mr. Kyo was there. Neji smiled and said "Byakugan." The veins around his eyes popped out and he looked kinda weird. He spun around on the ground in a field of chakra. It knocked the hail away or shattered it. Although her attack was being flawed, Hinako, strangely, had a knowing smile on her face. "Sharingan," she said and then formed familiar hand signs.
"Flying jutsu!" Silver wings grew from her back and she took off.
I stood there with my mouth open. "Hey! That's cheating! Give me back my technique!" I yelled at her, even though she obviously wasn't listening. I can't believe she stole my technique! I hope Neji wins!
Which speaking of, he was deflecting all of Hinako's attacks, easily, but Hinako still had that odd smile on her face.
What's she up to? I wondered.
"Living ice," I heard Hinako say as the hail stopped. Neji stopped spinning and stood there, preparing for the next attack. All of the ice on the battle field moved and seemed to come alive. After a while, there were many ice Neji's. They all began their barrage of attacks. However, this did not even phase him. He just fought them off as usual. It seemed just like Neji to have that bored expression on his face, though a bit annoying. He made his way to a Hinako clone, and used his Jyuuken to get rid of her. He then stared up at Hinako blankly. He yelled "What's wrong Hinako? I thought you said you wouldn't hold back on me."
"I am not going to, but I had to test you, of course. What I just now did, I would expect Sarafu to even defeat."
I glared at her for that statement. "What do you mean by 'even'?"
She pulled out her sycthe and formed the seals: serpant, ox, horse, monkey, dragon, bird, and her sycthe split in two. I gasped in shock. The two pieces formed two swords, one seemed to be made out of pure fire and the othermade of pure ice like her sycthe. Then Hinako began to spin around using her own version of the Hakkesho Kaiten.
How many more techniques are you gonna steal, Hinako?
Her chakra began to glow white and red, more than likely due to the swords. She began to fly higher and higher, till she flipped over and dove down to Neji. With an explosion of chakra, she hit the ground. The impact had torn apart Hinako's white kimono jacket to reveal a huge tattoo on her back.
The tattoo was that of a hourglass with an iceshard piercing the top of it. To the left was a crescent moon and to the right was the sun.
Although, astonished to find Hinako's newest body art, I was also angry as well.
You stole my jutsu and now my moon? That's it! I'm gonna wear a white kimono from now on, and see how you like it!
Hinako turned around and looked up at me. After a smirk, she turned back to Neji and said, "What do you think of my cursed tattoo. Pretty, isn't it?" Neji stood there-whether surprised or shocked, I couldn't tell cause he still seemed to have that blank face of his. Hinako sliced at him with the ice sword, and he just barely dodged it. Then she slashed with the fire sword from the other side. He dodged again and backed away.
"Summoning jutsu," Hinako said while biting her thumb and hitting the ground. A massive pheonix flew into the side with bright red wings. The spot from where he had once appeared was covered with magma. To my shock and dismay, Hinako threw her sword at the pheonix, killing him.
How could she do such a thing to so beautiful a creature? And how come she can summon a pheonix anyway?
An explosion of magma rained down on them. Neji began to spin and deflected it all. Hinako just stood there; the magma missing her by inches. A half mad grin spread across her face. I had never seen Hinako like that before. It was kinda creepy. Then she looked at Neji. He had been hit when the magma rained down and was in pain. But the sword of ice had also hit him, so he had turned blue, and froze.
Hinako smiled and walked over to him.
"Poor little Neji!" She said mockingly. "He is hurt! If only I could preserve the fear in your beautiful eyes forever." She laughed and picked up his bleeding hand-breaking it away from the ice-and licked the blood from it .
My inside squirmed. She must have been spending too much time with Guru. The memory of her in the cave with Guru stil haunted my mind. I looked over at Guru, who was staring at Hinako, almost proudly. He knew this was going to happen. I scowled and, reluctantly, looked back at Hinako and the frozen Neji. Hinako was smiling again, but sweetly this time. She glanced over at me just before she bent over him and kissed him on the lips. I blushed slightly at her boldness.
Really, Hinako. You're in the middle of a battle. You really must be a psycho. What's everyone gonna say after this...
Hinako pulled away smiled, then knocked him out. Shigame came over, although giving Hinako a funny look, yelled "Uchiha Hinako is the winner!" The crowd cheered and Hinako came back up to her seat.
"That was cheap!" I stumbled out, not really knowing what to say. "Taking advantage of him, while he was down."
"I wouldn't be worried about me right now, Sarafu," Hinako said coolly. "You are fighting Gaara next. I am sure we can talk later about my desicions. In fact, we will have to before I leave."
"Leave?" I said "Where are you going?"
"You will find out soon enogh, Sarafu," She said, just as Jin came walking with bandages wrapped around his arm.
"Hinako that was disgusting, you sicko!"
She just smiled and said, "Well at least I am not a cannibal...yet."
"Jin!" I gasped surprised. "How'd you get out of the infirmary?"
"I escaped, but don't tell anyone."
I chuckled a little and led him to his seat. I was glad he was alright. Although, I was a bit happier, my heart still didn't calm down. All during Hinako's battle, my mind was really on Gaara. I had gathered up the courage to fight him, but how was I going to do it. My heart skipped a beat as Shigame yelled out for the next competitors.
