Chapter 6

And so it begins...

Kunais dropped to the ground. There was some blood on them, but not much. Kakashi appulded and walked to his girlfriend, wrapping one of her arms across his shoulders. Rin was breathing heavily and had a few cuts on her arm. Kurenai had no cuts. Not a single one.

"You've improved greatly Rin. I'm still surprised I beat you!" Kurenai started to laugh as Gai and Asuma walked over.

"Hey guys. Wheres Anko?" Rin looked around for the girl, but she was no where to be seen.

"Shes home. Asleep. She had to much sake again and well, you know." Asuma lit a cigarette and sat down next to Kurenai.

She turned and looked at him as he smoked away at his cigarette. She smiled and laughed as she stood once again.

"Come on Asuma. You vs. me." He looked at her like she was crazy. Seeeing no way out of the challenge, he stood and walked over to a spot across from her.

"Alright. But I'm warning you, I have gotten better since the last time we met." He got out his trench knifes and flew at her. She barley had time to duck.

Bits of black hair fell to the ground as their owner continued to dogde attacks coming from her opponent. Just ten minutes later, the fight was over. The victor stood proudly as he put away his weapons. Kurenai knelt in front of him, wipping away some blood that had dripped down from her forehead.

"That wasn't fair. You had an advantage." She grabbed for the knifes but he caught her hand and spun her around, with her arm going up her back.

Somethings different about you Kurenai. I just can't place it.

Asuma released her watched as she went over to the others.

"I want a rematch. Tonight. Eight o'clock. And this time, you are not allowed to use those." And with that, she dissapered in a cloud of smoke.
