Thanks for the reviews. And since someone requested some more information on badminton I'm going to give a brief summary as to what it is :)

Badminton is a racket sport that is played around the world. The ball is actually a shuttle that is made from bird feathers. The picture of the shuttle and racket is in my profile.

Clearing is when you hit to the back. Drop is when you are at the front and you hit to the front. Netting is the same but when you're hitting in the front. Lift is when you hit from the front to the back. And finally smashing is when you hit a shot that goes downward and that is one of the offensive attacks. There is also tapping where you do the same but in the front.

Note that I do not own Naruto or any of the characters. All that belongs to Masashi Kishimoto.

Well now I'm done lets continue ^. ^ Hopefully this gives you the general idea of what it is and this helps you :)

Chapter 5

Soon people started to come in to the locker rooms in order to change and get ready for the competition. By that time, Tenten, Hinata, Ino, and I have already finished and we went outside to wait for everyone else and to also spare our self from all the noise that we knew was bound to occur.

"Yo. You guys were quick I thought girls took a long time," said Naruto as the boys came towards us.

"Now don't be mean Naruto, do I take a long time to get ready at all?" Tenten asked.

"Yes," Naruto replied bluntly at the question. The answer made Tenten become alert with anger at the unexpected answer that was given from her little brother.

"Does it really matter Naruto? We just didn't want to deal with any of the girls and their loudness," I interfered annoyed at their bickering despite the fact that they were pretty calm to begin with. After all I was still tired and I really didn't want to deal with anything. Inwardly I prayed to myself, let me be awake enough soon to actually play.

"Sakura, are you going to go full out later?" Neji and Shikamaru asked.

"Nope. I'm gonna enjoy the game and go full out only when I need to like when I play with Ten-chan," I replied while swinging my legs as if I was a little girl on the swings.

"Hmm. Oh well at least we'll be able to see you at full strength at least once," Shikamaru mused.

"Y~ep!"

I looked at the ever so silent Sasuke at the corner of my eyes. There he was again in his poker face listening in to what we were saying. Sometimes I really wondered what he was thinking. After our little chat, everyone seemed to become silent. But luckily it wasn't one of those uncomfortable silences that made everything awkward. It was kind of peaceful. Something relaxing before a very long and tiring day. I used this time and took out a pillow from nowhere and put it on the bench I was sitting and laid down.

"Wake me up when we start," I said as I went into my peaceful sleep. But usually by 9 I'm wide-awake and that's when the games start so I probably didn't need any more waking up.

I listened with little interest to what they were saying. But after a little while there was a relaxing silence that allowed me to save myself from all the frustration of my loud fan girls that built up in the morning. Then suddenly Sakura took out a pillow and told us to wake her up when the matches start. And from the looks of it she was afraid that she wouldn't be in the mood to enjoy the games like she planed if she didn't sleep the rest of her fill. But really… where the hell did she get that pillow of hers.

Sakura's sleeping face was very cute. She looked as if she was a little angel that had no fears and was very relaxed. Just glancing at her sleeping face, I was already calmer than before.

The rest of us just sat there waiting for the time to come.

"Mnn…" I felt something nudge me as I slowly but surely open my eyes to see Sasuke waking me up. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. "What time is it?" I heard myself ask.

"Almost 9," he replied. "You should go watch your face and get ready. Hopefully you'll be awake now."

"Yeah, thanks," I said rubbing my eyes.

"Oi! Sasuke you gotta make the announcement," Naruto shouted.

"Aa, I know you dope," he replied. Then he turned to me "get ready your game is one of the first."

"I know don't worry, you said it's 9 that means I'm awake," I smiled triumphantly at him.

Surprisingly he chuckled at me antics and than he walked away to the front and got everyone's attention. He basically introduced himself to everyone as well as the other four and explained how everything was going to work in the tournament.

"Welcome everyone and thank you all freshman's that chose this as your club. My name is Uchiha Sasuke and I'm the captain of this club. The co-captain is Neji Hyuuga one of the lead players along with Naruto Uzamaki, Tenten Uzamaki, and Shikamaru Nara. Today is the selection matches, which is a mini tournament our club has every new season to see who will be the eight players that will represent the school that season. And every time it may be the same eight and sometimes it won't so if you work hard even if you're not a lead player the first time you can be the second time. There are some of you that will not participate in the matches because either you said you don't know how to play in the sign up sheets or you are on probation because of something you did last year. And finally, before we begin the matches the girls will play in these 6 courts while the guys will play in the next 8 courts next door. If you want you are allowed to go watch the others play when you don't have any matches. The top two of the 4 groups will be the top 8," Sasuke explained. To me the introduction sounded more like a long speech. But either way I still listened just in case there was something important.

With all that said the games began and since I was one of the first I was glad. There was some freshman teachers that were free to chaperone but it turns out our 'coach' was not here.

"Sakura Haruno, Karin Uzamaki (I don't really think she has a last name but she's from the Uzamaki clan so…) please come to the front desk," I heard someone announce.

When I got to the front I saw a red headed girl with glasses who I presumed was Karin. And I was correct when she told the person at the front desk that seemed to be a junior, said her name. I followed suit after her and said Sakura Haruno.

We were in block A so three from our group would play while three other from block B played. When Karin and I got on the court, something I didn't expect happened… she snarled at me. My eyes widened in surprise and confusion about what that girl did, seriously though…she snarled, like what the hell. She acted like a dog! And what in the world did I even do to make her act like that?!

"You have 5 minutes of warm up," the ref said as she handed Karin the shuttle. "And we will be using the coin toss so Karin-san please choose heads or tails."

"Heads," she said in a strange bossy way.

When she tossed the coin it landed on tails so I chose serving while she chose the side. The ref gave us 5 minutes to warm up and when we finished we finally started.

"I'll destroy you," she whispered as you turned around to his side. It turned out that most of the people were watching. And when the girl said what she did I was SHOCKED! She…she said she'd destroy me. I'm not trying to fawn over myself b-but does she really not see the back of my shirt that has big words that say TEIKO on it? Seriously is she crazy or something?! Or is that just her attitude? Whatever I'm gonna show that wretch, who has no manners and not even a mind to greet someone properly, that I'm not that easy to beat.

As I served my shot, it went high in the air and she cleared towards the back. And to my disappointment it wasn't the best I've seen in the times I've competed. I dropped the shuttle as it just barely past the net. And it wasn't a fluke.

"Hmph, you got lucky," she exclaimed.

To be honest, I really didn't know how to reply… I was literally dumbfounded and lost for words and what to do. Even I was one of the first to play this is… boring. Completely not what I wanted. Why did I have to get stuck with an annoying, over confident bitch that thinks that she's the best. Grr… after a while I just decided to destroy her and get this over with, so guess what… the score was 21-2, 21-1. But when we shook hands I learned another thing about this irritating girl… she has no sportsmanship, because even though she said good job she said it angrily and she also squeezed my hand in a very painful way that made me cringe. What was her problem?!

I watched as she walked away and I sighed tiredly at the antics that she performed in the past minutes. I decided to think about what her problem next time so I can enjoy the rest of the day the way I wanted to.

"What happened?" Ino asked as I walked over to them.

"Nothing. Just that girl has some serious problems that I have no idea to what it is," I said dumbfounded.

"That was Karin Uzamaki, my retarded cousin that has some serious obsessions regarding my buddy here, right Sasuke," Naruto said with a smirk.

"Oh shut up dope. We both know very well she has some issues," Sasuke glared at Naruto.

"But it truly is funny when she chases you around," Neji joined in.

"Shut up already!" He yelled. That made us giggle but somewhere inside me I knew I was confused.

What did Sasuke…what did Sasuke think of her?
