Love Is So Twisted

Games and Kids

Neji and Tenten were facing each other; Tenten looked confused and unsure of herself. There was one thing that she hated and that was fighting over something so stupid, even though Neji had assured her over and over again that it wasn't for a stupid cause. That their love for each other was not stupid!

"Tenten, are you going to agree to marry me or what?" Neji was desperate for an answer; he didn't want to lose Tenten over a fight. At the moment all he knew he was fighting for was his lady and he didn't want that battle to determine the outcome, cause if Tenten suddenly rejected him, then the battle had the out come of his destruction.

"I love you Neji, I love you with every fiber in me" Tenten said suddenly "And of course I'll marry you, but you have to consider my feelings on some things" Neji sighed in relief and pulled her close. Now only this mattered, that she was going to be forever his and no one else's. That was all he needed to know.

"I thought you came from a family of expert weapon fighters, it should be in your blood" Tenten shook her head.

"That only lead to war and all my families death" She grabbed the collar of Neji's shirt and looked him in the eyes. For some time now she had been holding back and now she was crying in front of someone she didn't want to cry in front off and she was letting her emotions out "Do you not understand that I was afraid of losing you out there, just like I've always lost everyone! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ALL I EVER BRING THE ONES I LOVE IS BAD LUCK" Neji stared in shock as she broke down in a fit of sobs.

"Tenten" He whispered before he put his hand over her nape and pulled her into a soft kiss.

-Some Time Before The NejiTen-

Deidara and Sasori were now panicking, the battle was over and yet they had not found Sasuke at all! Itachi was going to kill them if he decided to come looking for his little brother at this moment. Looking around and walking up to where Itachi was they watched him as he talked with Neji who had won his case. Neji seemed to be smiling, wondering how Tenten was feeling at the moment at the same time looked like he was about ready to collapse for exhaustion. .

They seemed to exchange some words before the Hyuuga left in search of something. Probably to get his prize for winning the battle and that meant that it left Itachi alone. To their luck some more people came to talk to the future Uchiha lord and they knew they had limited time to find this mans baby brother, or they would be meat for the dogs. They could only pray Sasuke hadn't gotten himself in a mess that would make that true.

"I can't believe it'll be just this simple" Naruto grinned from ear to ear as he held onto Sai's arm. There was still some things to considered, but Itachi knew they had planned well.

"We don't know for sure yet" Itachi said as he looked up to one of the upper sky boxes were the elder Hyuuga was glaring hard and looking displeased. The man made it seem so obvious as well, that he was displeased with the outcomes. There was something about him though…"So, what is going to be the next announcement?" Itachi asked himself as he looked up at his parents.

"Man, we've come in so deep and you still have not thought for a way to end this madness?" Naruto growled and Itachi shook his head at the blond. Impatience could break what they needed to do. "Come on, let's go. I have to go talk to my father before I go look for Sasuke" With that Itachi, Naruto, and Sai exited the platform. Sasori and Deidara then pressed themselves to the wall and using one of Deidara's art spells they blended into their surroundings completely. They camouflaged. He called it his art of the prey, or something like that.

"Itachi is going to kill us, un"

"Not if we find Sasuke first!" Sasori said and Deidara nodded as both left running to go find the young Uchiha, whom Itachi gave his heart and soul to.

---Back to The challenge_)

There was no time to think.

Sasuke jumped away ten feet and then stared with wide eyes at the transformed demon Sakura had become, she had a devious smirk on her lips, her hair short and pink flaying around her, her eyes a green glowing color, her teeth had become sharp and she grew slight cat ears on either side of her head. Her cheeks were a little bloated with stringy whiskers, and her outfit was a red shirt and small black tight shorts and on her feet knee high boots.

"Come on, are you scared?" she drawled, her stiff long tail wiggling back and forth, it was pink as well, matching her hair color.

"I'm not scared of you!" Sasuke hissed. This was it, a battle out for Itachi and who would get to keep him. This is something he had to take seriously. 'Alright' Sasuke thought 'Niisan and Neji made this tournament for something and I don't want to ruin it, but this is personal'. Sighing, White light came from beneath his feet making his spiky hair fly up as he started to transform and grew furry large cat ears, a long black soft tail he had white shorts and a blue baggy shirt. A black collar, with a chain of blue and black stones around him neck and low boots in black.

In all he looked adorable.

"Now let us play" Sakura said, her ears tuning back as she hissed at the male feline before her. Sasuke grew out his claws as well and hissed back at her. They glared for a few seconds, closely keeping their eyes on the other to see which would attack first.

Suddenly she was on the move, swiftly making her way toward him growing a green glow in her hands and jumped up only to try and come back down swiftly on him. Sasuke only stood there and awaited for her to collide with his set up force field. Sakura got blown back in shock since when she came in contact with Sasuke electricity shot out and it now surrounded her. It popped around her skin like a whip.

"Ahhhh!" she cried out loudly and then fell to the ground.

Sasuke smirked and his eyes swirled from his now shallow grey to red ones that showed of his blood limit. He had never been in an official fight or nothing, but he knew what he had to do. More than probably Sakura did. Because once Sasuke was aroused for a battle, something in him wanted to see blood. Especially from her, he wanted her completely dead at his feet to make sure she never came near his brother ever again.

To die for…

Sakura at the moment really didn't know what she had gotten herself into. Slowly standing up she looked pissed as her eyes seem to light up once more in green and then green Mana was at the palm of her hands, she was going to get Sasuke and break his face in cause no one ever did that to her.

Sakura was about to jump up and initiate a punch when the ground around her begun to move and then swirl all around her to the point that it sunk her down to her knees. With wide eyes she looked up at Sasuke who now was surrounded by flames. His expression serious, and there was no hesitation as he closed his palm and then the flames were coming her way.

"No" she bit into herself. She had to think of a way out and survive this!

-Back to the event-)

Itachi had gone over and helped Neji work it out with Hiashi, though there was still the matter to fix about him and Sasuke. He didn't think that there could be a set up to fight for him and Sasuke, because Sakura was female. She had a right to refuse. By the way, where was his little Sasuke, he wanted to see him and hold him in his arms. Itachi wondered out of the room where every elder was and walked out trying to see if he could find Deidara and Sasori because once more he had sent them to take care of his little brother.

"Oh, Itachi" Itachi looked to his side, annoyed at the person that had just called him.

"What is it Kisame?"

"Well you see" Kisame started but stopped when he saw that something else had caught Itachi's attention. It was Deidara who was flipped over a trash can as he called for Sasori to get him out while Sasori on the other hand was trying his best to do that. But what really mattered to Itachi is that his little brother was no where in sight.

"What are you two doing?" Itachi demanded.

"Itachi!" Sasori gaped just as he managed to get Deidara out and fell backwards with Deidara in his lap.

"Oh crap, un"

"Never mind, where's Sasuke?" Sasori and Deidara lowered their heads. It was time to confess and tell Itachi the truth and then await their death.

"We lost him."

"What!" Red flames were starting to build in the palm of Itachi's hand and Kisame grabbed his wrist.

"Wait Itachi, before you kill them you'll really need to know this" Itachi looked over at Kisame once more.

"What is it and it better be good cause if you are wasting my time-" Itachi was cut off by Kisame's hand coming to cover his mouth.

"I know where Sasuke is!" Itachi was about to remark on that when Kisame added "He and a pink hair girl are battling it out for you and he looks intent on killing her" His Sasuke was in a fight? No, Sasuke really still couldn't control his powers, they were too much for him! His little brother was too modest and never wants to admit it, that the reason he could not control his strength was because they were immense. He needed more time!

At this rate anything was possible.

Sasuke could kill Sakura

The Haruno's would be able to kill him

And he was not about to let a war start!

"Show me!" Itachi hissed.

Sasuke blinked when a wall of water rose around Sakura's body and kept her from getting hit with his flames. She had survived, the damn bitch. Then she drew a large amount as she tried to blast him away but the water stopped before it could even reach him and it started to form itself into a ball of tight water. Sasuke didn't have to do a thing as the water became ready for him to use, her own power against her.

Sakura didn't know what was going on, all she could feel was herself being drained as the water became something new entirely. It was no longer something she had produced, it was something Sasuke had made his own "I am going to make you regret ever even learning Itachi's name, for ever even putting your disgusting hands on my man" Sasuke said in a voice that scared the hell out of Sakura. She was already shaking and on her own she fell to her knees. She really was no challenge for him.

Then he returned her move back to her and Sakaura gasped as she hit her back against a tree and nearly fell unconscious. She could hardly even breathe with all that water rushing at her face, she didn't know what to do.

"I won't give up" she panted out as soon as she was out of the water.

"Fine by me" Sasuke said as crackling thunder build up in the palm of his hand and he was about to run her way and get it through her stomach, for ever killing her, when he saw Itachi. "Niisan" he said and Sakura looked over as well, her eyes wide and she felt humiliated while Itachi had a disapproving face. Itachi came over to them and grabbed Sasuke into his arms making the young Uchiha groan. Sakura on the other hand was still shaking and she thought Itachi would be on her side.

How wrong.

"Sasuke" he said and kissed his forehead. "You've improved" Sasuke blushed and let himself melt into his brother's arms. He didn't want his brother to know that at that moment he really wanted to kill Sakura and it was not because he had lost control of his strength. All the while Sakura watched them with hatred and disgust, simply watching them share affection for each other killed her, because she could not have that as well.

"I want you dead! I want the both of you dead!" She growled and filled her hands with Mana once more and was about to punch them both when Itachi brought out his hand and a red light flashed from it making her gasped as it aged her slowly. Sakura could feel her smooth skin wrinkling over and her fear came real.

"Old hags like you belong in hell" Itachi hissed and Sakura passed out, feeling her body heavy, tired and weak. She looked all wrinkly like an old grandmother. Her once pink hair was a gray color, almost like Kakashi's. "Sasori, Deidara, take her to her parents, where she belongs. Tell them I will hold a meeting about her current state tomorrow morning" They both nodded and did as Itachi said without question. Kisame only laughed as he followed them. Sasuke watched silently.

"What did you do to her?" Sasuke asked after a while, not that he minded, but his older brother always had the best solutions. He would have killed Sakura and ripped her head to shreds, but his brother always seemed more composed in his thoughts and here they were, with Sakura as an old lady.

"I brought out her worst nightmare, to become old and disliked by those around he" Sasuke nodded slowly. Itachi smiled, this was what they had been waiting for. In two days he was no longer going to be engaged to that hag and finally have his brother. Then he was going to find a way to marry Sasuke.

One thing was for sure.

Haruno Sakura was insane.

"Come on, let's go back" Itachi said as he grabbed Sasuke up bridal style. It was obvious what Itachi wanted but Sasuke felt a little embarrassed.

"Niisan!" He still could not believe that Itachi had come because he was worried for him. But something still kept playing in his mind.

What was going to happen to them?
