* THIS STORY IS NOT FOLLOWING THE SERIES!*

It was silent. Naruto was standing there, covered in blood and cuts with Neji standing in front of him with no wounds. Melody stood up, gaining everyone's attention.

" Don't give up Naruto! Believe in yourself!" She called. Naruto's eye widened and turned around to see standing out in the crowd.

" Lets go Naruto, lets go!" She cheered, clapping twice afterwards. " Lets go Naruto, lets go! *clap clap* Lets go Naruto, lets go!"

Kiba stood up and joined her, then Sakura,Ino, and Hinata. Then the whole crowd was cheering. Naruto immediately regained his confidence and began to fight with his all. But he heard Melody cheering the most for him, and it made him all the more stronger. When he was declared winner, she jumped down and hugged him closely in front of everyone.

" Lets go winner." She winked, putting Naruto's arm around her neck and her's around his waist.

After Sasuke's fight, as well as Gaara's, which they both won easily, it was her turn.

Melody stood there in the arena, her right foot behind her left, hands in pockets and her hat tilted down slightly. Her rival was tall and strong, but that didn't stop her.

" You expect me to fight a little girl!?" The man laughed.

" Well this little girl is stronger than you." Melody corrected.

" I don't believe it."

" Why don't you take your little tea party dress off and fight me?"

Melody knew she had hit his last nerves, and that was exactly what she wanted to do. As soon as the bell went off, the man disappeared. All the crowd saw was Melody jump up and kick something into the wall. Then they realized that something was the man. Boy did he cause some bad damage to that wall.

Melody soon found herself surrounded by clones of the man. Everyone gasped, but she stayed completely calm. The whole time she fought them off. Gaara looked more closely and noticed her hand was wrapped. He felt guilty.

Melody was picked up and thrown into the wall, then picked back up and thrown into a tree. She regained herself and grabbed the tree branch, swinging herself into the air. The crowd watched in aw as the fight continued. Kakashi smiled to himself, again she was planning things.

" You know, I have seen this man do all these powerful jutstus and Melody hasn't." Sakura pointed out.

" That's a good point." Naruto followed. Melody continued to fight all the clones, getting a few bruises but nothing to serious. All of sudden she was snatched up from behind and held tight. She rose her feet and began to fight the clones who came after her. She felt her anger rising and was through. So she placed one foot down and swung her other leg up, successfully kicking the man in the face. Melody grabbed his hand and threw him into his clones.

" YEAH! Go Melody!" Naruto cheered.

" Kick his sorry ass!" Kiba followed. Melody stood there and smirked, knowing that the man was almost done with his chakra. She heard someone running up behind her and quickly dropped down, swooping their legs out from them. As they were still in the air, she balanced on her feet and kicked upwards. But the true guy came up and pinned her down on her stomach. Melody reached up with her legs and hooked them around his throat and pulled down rather harshly. She got from underneath him and quickly blocked his punch single handed. But she began to feel her hand hurt. Soon her bandage was bloody red. The guy threw another punch, only to be caught with her other hand.

" You are going to regret doing that." She said to him. The guy tried to pull back but she only gripped tighter. He swung his leg, but she only knocked it out her way with her own leg and kicked him in the stomach. Before the guy could blink, he was up in the air. He felt sharp pain everywhere as she continued to kick him. He blocked her and forced Melody underneath him as they fell. She widened her eyes as she saw his hand glow. Out of no where, the people in the arena went blind as the dust floated in the air. They all went silent as they saw Melody laying in the center of the with her stomach covered with blood and the man standing a few feet from her.

" No..." Naruto mumbled. " Melody! Get back up!"

" You better get back you ugly tomboy!" Sakura shouted.

" Don't make me go down there and finish this fight myself!" Konkuro followed.

" I said Kick his ass! Not lay on your ass!" Kiba shouted.

" Come on Melody, you were the only person where I had to actually try to win a fight." Sasuke announced.

" I...I believe in you Melody!" Hinata cried out.

" Get back up Melody! Make him regret he ever met you!" Temari shouted.

" Get back up on your feet and fight." Gaara said.

" Show him who's boss Melody!" Tenten spoke.

" Bring out all of your youth!" Lee followed. Soon all of her friends began to cheer for her. The man chuckled and walked up to her.

" How weak." He said, reaching down. Melody opened her eyes and flung her legs around. The man quickly jumped up and back.

" So you are alive." He said. Melody stood up on her feet and looked over at him.

" You know, I was going to be nice and be easy. But now you have really ticked my ass off!"

The crowd cheered at her words. Melody picked up her hat and threw it out of the way and took off her white shirt and threw it in the same pile, leaving her in her black spaghetti strap . The man flung his arms down and blades came out of his hands.

Melody wiped off the blood from the corner of her mouth and waited. She heard the crowd whisper if he was aloud to do such things as well as the attendants.

" Don't, let him keep them. It'll make it more fun." She said, stopping the attendant from walking forward. The man laughed and ran after her. She just barely dodged it. The blade was so close that it cut her rubber band in half and made her hair fall free.

" Such a pretty face, to bad I have to kill you!"

Melody and the man ran after each other. But instead of attacking his chest or legs, she jumped up and twirled around in a circle, missing his swords and kicked him right into the face. Her kicked was powerful, it knocked the wind out of the man. He aimed the blade but misjudged her speed. Before he knew it, his arm was up in the air and he was on the ground. He got up on his elbows and cleared his vision, but it was to late. Melody was running after him. He lazily watched her jump up, twirl, and kicked up right into his stomach, making him couch up blood.

" And the winner is Melody!" The announcer shouted. The crowd cheered loudly. Melody took a moment to catch her breath and walked over to the man.

" You...you were a fight worth waisting my energy on." The man said.

" Don't underestimate your rivals." She said before grabbing her stuff, walking out of the arena.

So they all decided to throw a party at Sakura's place to celebrate. Although, Melody was still pretty sore.

" Melody! Truth or dare?" Temari asked.

" Dare."

" I dare you to play the Pocky Game with 3 of your closest guy friends."

" Pocky Game? What's that?" She asked. Everyone looked at her like she was crazy.

" No seriously, what's the pocky game?" Melody asked again. Sakura giggled.

" First take this piece of Pocky and put the tip in your mouth. Don't eat it though." Sakura said, holding out a piece of Pocky to her. Melody did so.

" Now walk up to one of your closest guy friends."

Melody just shrugged and sat down in front of Naruto. He immediately blushed and everyone laughed.

" What's so funny!" Melody raged.

" I-i-it's nothing. Ok, now Naruto will put the other end in his mouth." Sakura said.

" I'm not doing this Sakura!" Naruto exclaimed.

" You know you want to." Sasuke teased.

" Shut up!" Naruto shouted back. With a groan and blush he did so.

" Then you both take bites until its all gone. Now go!" Sakura finished. Melody just shrugged like it was nothing. Naruto gulped and began to nibble at it. Melody began to munch, coming closer and closer to Naruto. Then it was all gone and they kissed for a moment. Everyone wolf whistled and cheered.

" Now go to the next guy." Sakura said, handing her another one. Melody took it then sat down in front of Sasuke.

" Wait! You can't choose him!" Sakura and Ino shrieked. Melody's mind spark with an evil idea.

" Sorry girls, Temari said the 3 closest guy friends I have and it just happens Sasuke is one of them. I can't back down can I?" Melody teased in an adorable voice. Naruto began to laugh his butt off.

" Haha! Sasuke is blushing!"

" Am not!"

" Are to!"

Sasuke growled and took the pocky into his mouth. Then they slowly nibbled at it, eventually kissing as well. Melody turned around and stuck her tongue out at Sakura and Ino.

" Just take the damn pocky and go to the last guy." She mumbled. Melody took the pocky and sat in front of Gaara.

" Me?" He asked. She nodded her head.

" You are one of my closet guy friends." She said. Gaara took the pocky into his mouth. They too nibbled and nibbled until they kissed.

" Yea! Go Gaara!" Konokuro teased. Gaara growled and turned his head, crossing his arms. Melody laid down with her arm over her arms.

" I'm so tired." She whined.

" I can imagine why. You took a hard fight." Tenten said.

" Stupid guy, he really got on my nerves." Melody followed. " He screwed with my hat."

Everyone chuckled.

" How's your stomach?"

" It's fine, Tsunade said to just take it easy."

" And your hand?" Gaara asked.

" It's fine. Don't worry about it, it was an accident." Melody answered, still not removing her arm. " If it makes you feel better. Then here." She continued, sitting up and unwrapping her hand.

" See? It's not that bad." She said. Gaara looked at her hand, he knew it may not look bad, but that doesn't mean that it didn't hurt. Then Melody rewrapped her hand and laid back down.

" How is everyone else?" She asked.

" Fine. Just a little sore." They all admitted.

" That's good. At least we all lived." She joked.

" So, Melody. What did you think of the Pocky Game?" Tenten asked.

" It's a great way to find an excuse to kiss your crush." Melody answered, moving her eyebrows up and down, teasing her. Then she looked over at Neji and drew a heart in the air.

" Melody!" She excalimed.

" Just pointing out the obvious!"

" Well you know who we all like. Who do you like?" Ino aksed.

" I would rather train and hang out with guys than make them be my accessory." Melody said, then for a moment she chuckled, feeling the new layer of respect and happiness for her from the guys.

" W-why don't you put your hair down?" Hinata asked.

" Because it gets in my way." she replied, turning onto her side, arm still covering her eyes.

" B-but you look so pretty with it down...M-melody?"

" I think she is asleep. Quick, hand me some makeup." Sakura rushed. The boys watched as the girls gently turned Melody onto her back and removed her arm from her face. Just as they were about to put on lipstick, Melody popped up and scared them.

" Melody! That wasn't funny!"

" W-well the boys though it was." Melody laughed.

" Just put on some lipstick!" Sakura said, aiming the lipstick.

" No!" Melody said, wacking it out of her hand.

" Oh man! That was my favorite color to!" Sakura whined as she held the bullet of the lip stick apart from the rest.

" Don't be such a cry baby, it can be fixed easily." Melody said, getting up and taking the make up. Sakura followed her into the kitchen, watching her do a few things before she put the lipstick in a container and put it in the frig.

" There, check it tomorrow morning and it'll be fine." She said, walking out to the others.

" I wouldn't make that move Konkuro." She said, eyeing a shoji board as she past by. " Shikamru will win the whole game if you do. I'd move the farthest one to the right."

Konkuro did so and noticed Shikamaru stumbling.

" How did you know to make such a move?" Shikamaru asked.

" Oh please, do you honestly think I am dumb?"

" Then I challenge you to a game of Shoji."

" Winner has to drink a cup of lemon juice?"

" Sounds troublesome."

" Oh man up and accept the challenge." Melody joked.

Shikamaru sighed. " I guess."
