Atsuko's POV
I stretched a little to get used to the feeling of being full in my stomach.
I think I ate too much. But it was only one bowl.
I shrugged.
I glance over at Koaru. She was talking with Dai and Mikoto. Probably thinking about a way to kill me.
I sighed.
I bet its not only them who want to kill me right now. I bet others would if they ever got the chance.
I sighed again. Koaru walked into the middle of the field.
Okay, let the battle begin. I can do this. I can use taijutsu and ninjutsu in this round.
Lets do it!
"Aw, are you scared, Suko-chan?," Koaru asked with innocent eyes.
Fake innocent eyes!
"Shut up, Koaru! You don't call me Suko anymore. I've lost all respect for you and you know you lost respect for me, too," I yelled.
"Maybe. Maybe not," she smiled.
Her sadistic smile.
"Why you...," I got sngry.
"Ready...Begin," Sensei yelled.
Koaru threw a couple of shurikens at me. I quickly grabbed my katana and deflected the shurikens. I put my katana back in my holder and charged at her. She got in defense. I ran lower to the ground. Koaru ran to the left side of me. I gasped and tried to turn around. She punched me in the face and sent me flying.
I flipped backwards and stuck my left hand out to catch myself. I bounced off of it and flipped backwards again and landed on my right foot.
I let out a breath.
I wiped away the blood that was dripping down my mouth.
That was too close.
'You can't look left and right at the same time', it played in my head.
Oh I get it.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
I made one clone and she stayed on my left side.
Good.
Just please don't let Koaru take her out.
But first, I have to think of a strategy. One she won't figure out.
Hmm...
I made another Kage Bunshin and she was on my right side.
"Oh I get it. Your blind in one of your eyes," she laughed. "Now, which eye is it?!"
Huh? She can't tell? I guess since there's some distance between us.
I smiled.
"Well, your not gonna figure out," I told her smiling.
"We'll see about that," she said getting in defense again.
I also got in fighting stance. I can't let her figure out.
I know!
I made another clone, making four of us in total. One clone made the Rasengan in my hand. The other two clones did the same thing. The two clones that made the Rasengan stood in front of us, but on the outside around us. The clone that has the Rasengan and I seperated. I walked to the right and my clone walked to the left.
We all started running together. The clones in front of us zig zagged between each other. I ran closer to the clone with the Rasengan. I jumped in the air and nearly rolled off her back, with are backs an inch from each other. I turned and landed on my feet and kept running.
Now, the clone and I can both see Koaru fine.
The clones in the front ran faster towards her. Koaru jumped in the air and the clone with the Rasengan followed. Koaru brushed her to the side. I jumped in the air, too.
Oh crap!
Where is she? Oh man, I think she's on my left side. I was grabbed by my feet, causing me to go upside down. She spun around and flipped me, before throwing me to the ground. Hard. Once I got near the ground, I closed my eyes and punched my left fist into the ground.
"Ah!"
I heard something crack. Uh oh. That wasn't suppose to happen!
I got up and shook the dirt off my head. Then, I felt the most ecruitating pain in my left arm.
"Nnh!"
"Why would you do that?," Koaru asked smiling. "Oh yeah, I figured it out. Your blind in your left eye, right?"
I self-consiciously nodded.
She laughed.
"Now, all I gotta do is stay on your left side!"
Its not gonna be that easy, you psycotic freak.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
I made one clone and she went to the left side of me. I didn't know what to do know. Just hope. Just hope my plan out smarts Koaru.
The clone next to me made the Rasengan, but she stayed with me to do it. The Rasengan got bigger. Oh yeah! Giant Rasengan!
I ran towards Koaru. I was about to hit her, when she went to my left side. I stood there hoping it would work. She was about to make contact with my clone's face, when something stopped her. My clone came from underground and gave her an uppercut to the face.
"Eat that," yelled the clone from the ground, before disappearing.
The clone and I quickly turned around...
"Here comes the big one!"
...and hit Koaru in the stomach.
"Giant Rasengan!"
She flew through 5 trees.
"Yeah!"
I did it I actually out smarted Koaru.
"Yatta!"
"And the semi-final winner is...Uzumaki Atsuko," Lee Sensei souted.
"Yeah, and I wasn't injured as much!," I said throwing my arms in the air.
I quickly brought my left arm down.
"Oh crap, I think I broke it," I laughed sheepishly.
I walked over to crossed his arms over his chest and tapped his right floor. I raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"What?"
"That was reckless!"
He slapped my head.
"Ow!"
"Did you know you were going to break your arm?!"
"Kind of. Maybe."
"I'm going to take that as a yes."
I laughed softly.
"Remember, you taught me how to make a clone stay underground, Tou-san."
"Oh yeah, I remember. But you could've did it another way."
"Sorry."
"Luckily, I knew it was going to be broken when you punched the ground. I got a first aid kit."
"You left?"
"No, I just sent a Kage Bunshin."
Tou-san took out the first aid kit. I plopped down on the ground. He took my left arm gently. He took out two large sticks and stuck them on each side of my arm, so I couuldn't bend my arm. He then wrapped it in medicine bandages.
"Thank you."
"And don't you break anything else!"
"I will make no such promise."
I said shaking my head.
"The winner is...Yamada Nao," Lee Sensei shouted.
"Huh?," I turned around.
There stood a very tall boy. He's probably about 4'5, or something. He had slick black hair and it was combed back. He had green eyes. He had a great smile.
He turned to me and I blushed.
He smiled wider and he blushed, too.
But why?
This guy's a jerk.
Does he not remember what he did to me two years ago?
I do. He whacked me with a baseball bat.
