Arc 4 Continued
Final Exam and Attack!!
Hey people thanks for the reviews. And I'm starting to feel a little better but it feels weird to go and see my horse Buck and not see Stormy there so I'm still getting used to that I think I might go see her grave tomorrow if I have enough courage to do that. Oh and I might make this a GaaraxSakura fic cause I think they are cute together. Tell me what you think in your reviews! So R&R! And I wish I owned Naruto but I don't.
The next morning Sakura slowly started to wake up, "Man that was a nice sleep." She mumbled as she stretched and then opened her eyes. "AHHHHH!!!" She screamed as Gaara was standing inches from her face.
He began to chuckle at her reaction, "I was wondering when you were going to wake up." He said as he took a step back and looked at the clothes she was wearing.
"Oh sweeeeet! Black tank top and blue shorts niiiice!" Shukaku commented on her outfit.
"Perverted as always Shukaku." Sakura said as she motioned for Gaara to sit. "I'm just going to have a shower and get ready then I will meet you at the stadium." She mumbled sleep still clear in her voice.
"Alright but you better hurry you only have two hours and I know how long girls take to get ready." Gaara insulted slightly. He then looked a little surprised. "SHUKAKU!!" He hissed in annoyance.
Sakura raised a brow, "You sure that was him and not you?" She asked as she heard Shukaku start to laugh as a microscopic blush came across Gaara's face but being Sakura she could still see it and laughed. "What's this are you blushing?" She laughed.
Gaara glared at her, "No." He said and turned away. "What would make you think that?" he asked.
"Oh nothing just that I have very good seeing like any normal demon." Sakura said casually as she walked into her bathroom and shut the door. "You better leave I don't want your siblings to think you left." She said and then the water started.
"Yea." He mumbled then disappeared in a whirlwind of sand.
Sakura sighed as she let the burning water flow over her body. "Man that was funny… But I have to admit he really is kinda cute." She said to herself, "He's like a little Panda… That's what I'll call him now Panda-chan lets see how he will do with that nickname." She laughed then finished her shower, "Time to get dressed and lets make the clothes this time. I have been practicing that jutsu." She said as she stepped out wrapping a towel around her self then sitting on the counter and put her hands into the tiger handsign closing her eyes she began to say what she wanted to wear. "Hmm lets see… Blue tank top, Red jacket over top… Short black skirt with orange shorts under… White sandals with blue and red arm and leg warmers." She opened her eyes and looked down, "Awesome!" She said as she was wearing what she had pictured in her mind. "Now time to finish up my morning ritual and then head to the stadium." She said then went about to complete all that she had to do.
Finally down with all she had to do she tied her head-band in its normal place and then headed out of her apartment and into the now afternoon streets of Konoha which were slowly clearing as people made there way to the stadium wanting to see the matches.
Sakura smiled as the stadium came into view as she got closer and saw two guards standing in front of the doors. "Ah Sakura it's good to see you!" One said and opened the door for her.
"Like wise Izumo." She said and nodded to Kotetsu. He nodded back and she entered the stadium. "This is going to be interesting. But fun." She whispered to herself as she walked into the arena hearing people talking some cheering she smirked. "Definitely going to be fun." She muttered and then stood beside Gaara.
'Where's Uchiha?' Gaara's voice asked in her mind.
'Dunno… Maybe he's doing some last minute training.' Sakura told him in her mind.
'Aa.' He said.
'Don't you sound like Sasuke.' She thought.
'Hn.' He replied a smirk barely visible on his face.
'Don't make me hurt you Sabaku.' Sakura warned. 'I can touch you, Shukaku wouldn't dare stop me… He knows my wrath is scarier then even my Fathers.' She told him and saw the smirk disappear.
'Fine.' He told her then the proctor appeared.
"We will now begin the final exam." He said. "Would the first two people who are fighting step forward and the rest of you head up to the balconies." He said then watched as all of the gennin that were yet to fight head up to the balconies except for the pink-haired one. "Good luck Naruto… Don't lose." She said then jumped up to the balcony and leaned against the railing Gaara standing not to far from her.
"Begin!" The proctor shouted and jumped away from the 2 teens as they started their battle.
"GO NARUTO!!" Sakura shouted then smiled as she saw him trying as hard as he could. 'Come on kit you can do this you have my father to help you whenever you need him… That reminds me I should see if I could talk to him through my mind but that will have to wait.' She thought as she continued her observation of the battle.
"Hyuuga is going to win." She heard some spectators say. "This kids to weak and to top it off he's a monster." The man continued.
Anger flooded threw her system and she located the man before sending him one hell of a glare that made his eyes widen. She then mouthed, 'Say that again about my friend and you will suffer.' The mans eyes widened even more as he saw her make a slashing move across her neck. He shut up instantly.
(I don't think I will say all the fights seeing as I again missed a lot of them so picture what happened in the chunnin exams and Dosu is dead and Sakura will 'fight' whoever wins Temari and Shika's match.)
'So Kankuro forfeit and Shika quite the match when he knew he would lose that only leaves Panda-chan and Sasuke's match. Plus mine against Temari after that one.' Sakura thought as she watched Gaara walk down the stairs toward the arena. 'Hurry up Sasuke I want to see this fight as much as everyone else.' She thought as she heard people cheering as their match was announced.
"10 seconds and if Sasuke Uchiha does not appear in that time he automatically forfeits." The proctor said as he started to count down the time.
"5"
"4"
"3"
"2"
"1…"
POOF!!
A huge blast of smoke signaled the arrival of Sasuke and Kakashi, "I hope we aren't to late and you haven't disqualified us." Kakashi said as he looked at the proctor with a hopeful look.
"YEA KAKASHI!!! YOU MADE IT!" Sakura and Naruto screamed, "With not a second to spare. Sasuke your turning into Kakashi." They laughed.
Sasuke's eye twitched as he watched them jump down and run over to him, "You better not lose." Naruto said then smirked at him.
"I won't but did you guys lose your matches?" He asked.
"Nope I won." Naruto said smirking at him.
"I haven't fought yet. I fight after you." Sakura said smirking at him. "And I'll win too." She laughed as the proctor told them all to head up to the balconies so they could begin the match.
(I can't really type the match so just think about how it happened in the show please. I'm already killing my hands writing so much.)
Sakura smiled as she saw Sasuke start to do the hand signs for a chidori, 'Oh man this is going to be big.' She thought then watched as Sasuke flew down and smashed his chidori threw the sand shield around Gaara. Her eyes widened, 'No…'She thought as she saw the giant hand come out of the hole and try to grab Sasuke.
"SASUKE LOOK OUT!" Naruto and Sakura screamed.
Sasuke dodged just in time, "What the hell are you?" Sasuke hissed.
"A monster…That only lives to kill." The dark voice said threw the hole.
Sakura froze suddenly as she heard Shukaku's voice, then suddenly a huge blast went off as the sand fell away from Gaara to reveal him with a wound in his shoulder.
"Gaara! We have to get out of here now!" Temari said as she and Kankuro appeared beside him.
Sakura jumped down and ran toward them, "OH NO YOU DON'T!" She shouted. They looked up and quickly took off Sasuke right behind them, "DAMMIT!" Sakura hissed and went after them.
"Sakura-chan wait up!" Naruto shouted and quickly caught up to her with Shikamaru right beside him.
"Naruto we have to hurry!" Sakura said.
"I know lets go already." He said and the three of them plus Pakun went after them.
"SASUKE! WAIT!" Sakura shouted as they saw a flash of him.
Sasuke looked over his shoulder when he heard Sakura call for him but sped up so they wouldn't catch up. "Stay out of my way you pathetic weaklings." He growled then stopped when he finally caught up. "I've got you now, Freak." He said then crouched down ready to attack.
"Sasuke Uchiha…You are the first one to ever show me pain there fore YOU SHALL DIEEEEEE!" Gaara roared and lunged at him.
Sasuke's eyes widened as Sand wen around Gaara's arms and made him look like a demon. "What are you?" he asked as he just barely dodged one of Gaara's attacks.
"Death." Gaara hissed and lunged at him again.
'Dammit I can't even hurt him he just absorbs the blow… I can only use one more chidori and that hurt him last time… Maybe it will work this time.' Sasuke thought then made the hand signs for his chidori and charged at Gaara. "DIEEE!" He shouted but suddenly felt pain shoot threw his neck. 'Dammit.' He thought as he only hit Gaara's arm. He collapsed on the branch he landed on panting he looked up as Gaara lunged at him again.
"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HIM!" Naruto's voice echoed around him and a huge Shower of kunai making Gaara stop and only land on the branch.
"Sasuke!" Sakura said grabbing him away from Gaara. "Sasuke are you ok?" She asked as she saw the curse mark spread across his body.
"SAKURA LOOK OUT!" Naruto suddenly shouted.
Sakura turned slowly and saw Gaara flying at her, her eyes widened, "Gaara…" She whispered as she stood in front of Sasuke. "No… SHUKAKU STOP!" She screamed as his claw smashed into her. Sakura cried out in pain as his claw started to tighten around her body. "Shu-kun…"She whispered as she started to feel her anger rise from him not listening to her.
"SAKURA!" Sasuke and Naruto shouted in horror. Naruto quickly grabbed Sasuke away from Gaara.
Gaara stared at Sakura in shock, "S-Sakura-san." He whispered as he saw the pained look cross her eyes before turning to anger. "I tried to stop but we couldn't." He whispered.
"N-Naruto, Sa-Sasuke…Your about to see something that has been my secret for years." Sakura managed out. Naruto and Sasuke looked plain confused.
"What is it?" Naruto asked. Sasuke nodded.
"I advise you get away." Sakura said as suddenly her eyes changed color, black fur started to appear, the red stripe down her back appeared and her black ears were back as a low growl ripped from her throat. She destroyed the hand made of sand and lunged at Gaara.
He dodged surprised at how fast she could move, "I never thought you would really change in front of them." he said all his common sense seeming to have disappeared.
She growled as she moved in front of Sasuke and Naruto who stood shocked at what they had just witnessed. "Don't be scared of me and don't hate me… I only wanted to know what your kind was like my mother never wanted me to go near you humans so when she died I did." She said as she growled at him her own nine tails swishing behind her as she got ready to attack. "Shukaku I am warning you if you wish to keep your life you will stop this stupidity and be normal again." She hissed at him.
Shukaku laughed, "But I have only just gotten free can't you let me cause a little destruction?" He asked.
"Let me think…NO!" She lunged at him and sent Shukaku flying backwards.
"Then I have no choice but to fight back." He howled and then grew to an enormous size.
"You think you can beat me?" Sakura hissed and to grew into a giant size and threw Sasuke and Naruto on her head. "Hold on guys." She said as she saw Gaara appear on top of Shukaku's head asleep. "hey Naruto you think you can wake him up?" She asked as she dodged one of Shukaku's air bullets.
"You bet!" Naruto shouted.
"Good when I tell you to jump do it." Sakura said as she sent a huge blast of water at Shukaku making it rain when the attacks hit. "I know I'm awesome." She laughed then lunged at him. "I've got you now! Naruto go!" She hissed as she held onto Shukaku.
"Right!" He said and jumped off Sakura's head and flew onto Shukaku's arm and ran up it. "I WON'T LOSE TO YOU!" He shouted and jumped as the sand started to go up his legs. 'Dammit I can't reach him I'm only inches away too.' He thought then got an idea. "TAKE THIS!" He screamed and slammed his head into Gaara's.
"Typical but it works." Sakura laughed as she watched Shukaku turn to stone and disappear.
"NOOOOOO!!!! I ONLY JUST GOT OUT!" He cried as he turned to dust.
"Oh man what did I do I'm sorry!!" Shukaku's voice suddenly said in her mind.
'Don't worry about it I know what happens when you get to take over so don't say sorry.' Sakura told him and watched as Naruto slowly started to move toward Gaara. Sakura smiled before she turned normal and landed on the branch beside Sasuke and they moved over to where Naruto, Gaara and Temari were.
Temari stared wide-eyed as Sakura came into view. "Your like Gaara…" She whispered in fear.
"Yes I am but I am nice and you know what so is Shukaku in his own crazy way." Sakura said then put her hand out. "Friends?" She asked Temari looked surprised.
"Sure." She said and put her hand out and shook it. "Oh and I won't tell anyone about you." She said and then helped Gaara up. "Let's go home." She said.
"Temari…"Gaara whispered as they disappeared.
"Yea?" She asked.
"Temari…" A voice suddenly groaned.
Temari gasped and jumped down to where Kankuro lay on a branch. "Kankuro!" She said in Shock. "Are you okay?" She asked as she helped him stand.
"Yea I think so." He said and helped her support Gaara as well.
"Kankuro…Temari…?" Gaara said quietly.
"Yea?" They asked at the same time.
"Thank You." He whispered.
"Any time little brother… Any time." Kankuro said Temari just smiled at them.
"Let's get home." She said and they took off at a faster run.
