No Ones Point Of View
Akuma awoke, her hands instantly going to her head in pain. As the pain starts to slowly subside, she realizes she was back in her room. 'Did the sand boy bring me back here? Why? And that memory, if that was what it really was, why was he in it?" She wonders before slowly standing up, the blanket falling to the floor softly.
Quickly Akuma checks her chakra supply in her seal and sighs, it was empty. She sends a forth of her reserve into it as she roughly yanks open her door, revealing a startled Chunin with his hand raised, about to knock.
Her black eyes stare coldly at the boy when he starts to speak. "Lord Hokage has asked that I inform all the passing teams that in one hour they are expected to be down in the arena." The blue haired man spoke, completely unafraid, likely not knowing Akuma's personality.
Akuma nods her head tiredly before closing the door gently. Quickly she dressed into her kimono, deeming her previous outfit a lost cause. With a surprising grace, she braided her hair into an elegant bun and two smaller braids next to her face, odd tufts of her hair sticking out of it randomly from its uneven length.
Quietly she slips two kunai into the pockets in each of her sleeves before securing her scroll to her silk obi. Then came her mesh leggings and weapons pouch. She was satisfied once she placed her hitai-ate around her neck.
She slips out into the dark corridor and walks to the kitchen, each footstep falling silently. She wasn't too surprised to find the Akimichi boy, Chouji if she remembers correctly, eating. She quickly produces her favorite breakfast, no matter that it isn't a traditional Japanese one, a toasted blueberry bagel and cream cheese.
The boy looks like he is about to speak but is quickly silenced by a cold glare. Today would be the day she could finally kill and enjoy the blood of another. Being cooped up in the tower for four days has really caused her to lack in the usual blood shed.
With a small eerie smile and a quick glance of the clock, Akuma heads down to the arena. No sounds were made as she padded down the corridor, her kimono sleeves swinging delicately. She entered the large room and stood in her designated spot, other teams starting to enter as well.
As soon as everyone has gathered the proctor spoke aloud, "First off, I'd like to congratulate you all on finishing the second exam!" By all of us, she means the sand siblings, all of the rookies, the silver haired boys team, the sound ninja and another team from the sand.
After that the Hokage starts to speak about the actual reason of the chunin exams, however I was more focused on the sand boy. He was watching me with a crazed look in his teal eyes. No doubt wishing the old man would shut up already.
Once my attention snapped back to the Hokage he was almost finished. "Anyway, I shall explain to you exactly what you will be doing in the third exa..."
He was interrupted by a sickly looking man. "Excuse me lord Hokage," the man speaks with his voice low, "but please allow me to say something first. I am the proctor of the third exam, Hayate Gekko."
The hokage gives a nod before Hayate starts to speak again. "Nice to meet you all." He coughs a few times before continuing, "There is something..." He starts to cough again. "That I need to tell you all before the third exam. We kind of have to have a preliminary round before the actual third exam."
Irritated complaints fill the air, Akuma smiled to herself, already knowing they couldn't have this many Genin. A quick count proved that there is twenty-two genin remaining, meaning eleven rounds in no one drops out. His explanation gets lost among the murmurs near Akuma.
"If any of you don't feel you are in top physical condition, nows your chance to quit." He says before starting to cough again. "Sorry about that. Like I said, anyone who doesn't feel up to it should leave now. The preliminaries will begin immediately."
Quickly Kabuto drops out, much to the chagrin of Naruto. Kabuto goes on to explain about how he can't hear out of his ear. Hayate asks in anyone else wants to quit, however no one does. He then goes on explaining the rules.
A bored slides up, revealing a computer screen that quickly spits out to names. Akuma smiles happily at being first as she reads her name.
"Will Akuma and Himeko Furukawa come please enter the arena, all others please observe from the railing."
Akuma slowly walks to the center of the area, facing black haired girl from the sand. The girl scoffs when she sees who her opponent is.
"Forfeit now little girl before I hurt ya." She says, sounding quite snobbish. The proctor declares the start of the match and Himeko draws dual bladed fans.
Akuma flows sand out of her scroll, leaving it swirling around her in deadly waves. Her small smile never leaves her face as the girl swings her fans, creating wind blades.
The blades hit her sand before it surges forward like black ink. Himeko moves backwards as quickly as she can to evade the sand, knowing such a Jutsu can prove fatal. The sand slithers up the girls leg, surrounding it before it tugs.
Himeko screams in pain as he leg is dislocated and then broke. Quickly she uses a fan, causing it to grow I'm size and float into the air. Akuma slowly rises to her level and throws a kunai at her, which Himeko knocks away with a gust of wind from her second fan. What Himeko did not notice was the sand coming up behind her.
Her eyes widen and she realizes if she doesn't forfeit she will die. "I forfeit!" She screams out, as sand almost reaches her head. The sand starts to slowly fall to the ground, Akuma knowing now any death is out of bounds.
Right as Hayate announces her as the winner, Akuma falls out of the consciousness. Right before she hits the ground however Gaara's sand flows out and catches her, surprising everyone including him.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Akuma's Point Of View
"This place..." Akuma states as she looks around to find a cell in front of her. "Why did you bring me here Shiku?" She growls out, Shiku never doing anything unless it benefited her.
"Aw my dear host can't I just want to visit you after such a long time?" The black haired woman asks. "After all it has been how much time? Oh yea two and a half long months."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Hey guys! What's up with you? Schools been troublesome for me. (Hence why I haven't updated.) At least I scored a 95 on my algebra 2 test. Missed one question so that was nice. What did you guys think about this chapter? What do you think will happen now that Shiku is fully awake? Until next time, bai.
Oh and sorry about the short fight scene.
