Konnichiwa! Glad to see you all liked the chapter, minna-san! I'm almost near the end of the first part of the Naruto series for this story, and all I have to type is the Rescue Sasuke arc and the filler arc where Gaara has to save his student (giggles at the thought). Just bear with me, because I'm sneaking on at school to do this, and my wrists started bothering me again. Remeber: reviews will come to those who are patient!

Disclaimer: I own many things, but Naruto isn't one of them...(le sigh)
Sakura oohed and ahhed at the amazingly awesome fights Naruto and Shikamaru put up. The fact Sasuke wasn't even there didn't register in her mind. But now, as the crowd waited impatiently for the next fight, she grew worried.
Where in Kami's name is Sasuke-san?
A strong gust of wind hit the stadium, kicking up dust and leaves. Everyone was mesmerized as the leaves and dust transformed into a whirlwind, then settled, revealing two very familiar sillouettes. Sakura heard Ino gasp.
"It's Sasuke!"
Sasuke was ready.
Every nerve in his body felt electrifyed, crackling with energy. He'd never felt so alive. He watched as the red-head joined him on the battlefield, but frowned as he saw Sakura cheer, one of only a few cheering for the Suna brat. He looked at his opponent, who smirked back at him. The proctor, a grim sort of smile gracing his features, raised a hand.
"Begin!"
Gaara felt the hatred and jealousy radiating from his opponent, and reacted with a smirk.He knew the outcome of the battle meant nothing, and what would happen after meant everything. He sent sand to the Uchiha, but Shukaku reared his ugly head.
You promised his blood, boy!
"Please, don't be so angry...I gave you bad-tasting blood earlier, didn't I?" Gaara was struggling, fighting with Shukaku for control.
"But don't worry...This time, I'm sure it'll be really tasty..."
It better be, boy...otherwise I won't cooperate with their precious plan...
Gaara felt the tanuki shrink into a dark corner of his mind. Gasping for breath, he looked up at his opponent.
"Come."
I know, short update...see, I'm grounded at the momnet, so yeah, I sneak on during school to type this...I promise the next chappie will be longer! Review! Sayonara for now!!!
