Chapter 8: The Test

"Ok, so now the test can begin" Pein announced.

"Yay!" Sara yelled sarcastically, Tayla smirked "you woke me up for that?" Sara asked, her eyes narrowing in anger as she did some hand signs.

"Ahh! Sara don't use that now, I'm still here!" Tayla shouted, Sara stopped for a few seconds before putting her hands down, Tayla let out a breath.

"How long is she going to be like this?" Kakuzu asked Tayla, she shrugged "depends on her mood, right now I'd say for a few hours"

Tayla's phone went off, Sara turned to her as she opened it "who is it?" she asked.

"Hmm…oh it's Jess, I texted her before to tell her that I won a bet against Kakuzu" Tayla replied, Sara blinked a couple of times before she burst out laughing.

"How the hell… did you pull that off?" she asked between laughs, Tayla shrugged "I know you better" she said as she put her phone away.

"Right, can we start now?" Pein asked, Tayla and Sara shrugged "why are you asking us?" Tayla asked "yer, we've been waiting on you" Sara added "I mean you are the one running this thing aren't you?"

Pein face-palmed "let's begin then" he said "you two are going to take it in turns in a fight against Hidan-"

"Why me?!" Hidan protested.

"Because they can't accidentally kill you" Pein replied "now as I was saying, you'll go up against Hidan so we can see your skills and find out what needs improvement" he explained, Tayla put her hand up "is he allowed to kill us? Just wanna check" she asked, Pein shook his head "no, but he'll more then likely leave you half dead"

"No he won't" Sara whispered to Tayla "what do you mean?" Tayla whispered back.

"Well it's against his religion, remember?" Sara whispered.

"Oh yeah!" Tayla said out loud "you two finished yet?" Pein asked "yes" Tayla replied.

"Who's going first?" Sara asked "whoever wants to go first" Pein replied, Sara put her hand up at the same time Tayla pointed to her "I/She will" they said at the same time, the whole Akatsuki sweat dropped "ok then Sara's first"

Sara walked to the middle of the room "come on Hidan, or are you afraid you'll lose?" Sara taunted, Hidan growled "I'm fuckin' coming!"

"Language, there are less foul-mouthed dipshits present… and girls" Sara scolded.

"Oi Sara catch!" Tayla shouted with a smirk and threw something, Sara caught it and looked at the item, it was her MP3 "woohoo thanks! Sara shouted back to Tayla as she put her earphones in "now I'm ready to dance, shall we?"

"Start!"

Georgia's POV

I stopped my training when I heard Jess's ring tone go off, I looked around at Jess to see her coming off the water to get it.

She checked the message on it and bust out laughing, I walked over to see what it was "what is it?" I asked grabbing a drink bottle.

"Tayla sent me a message to tell me she won a bet against Kakuzu and he actually gave her the money" Jess replied and I spat out my drink "your kidding" Jess shook her head.

"What was the bet about?" I asked choosing not to drink this time "how injured the person going to wake Sara would be" she replied pushing buttons on her phone "well they're lucky they don't have Tamara with them" I said sitting down at the base of the tree.

"Where is Nii-san?" Jess asked sitting down next to me "still looking for her mystery guy" I suggested, Jess gave a thoughtful look "I wonder who her mystery guy is"

I gave her a look that said 'you're kidding right'" before sighing "she basically told us who she's looking for, didn't you listen to her clues?"

Jess shook her head, I sighed again "well I'll let you figure it out then, oh and stop calling Tamara Nii-san because 1. You two look nothing alike and 2. Tamara's not a boy" I told her, Jess laughed nervously "I'll just call her Itoko then" she chirped "well if Tamara says it's okay" I muttered to myself.

"Let's go get some Raman" Jess shouted jumping up, I laughed as I stood up "I think you're turning into a Naruto double, next you're going to be shouting 'believe it' after every sentence" I teased, Jess frowned "no I wouldn't" I just laughed and we left to go get lunch.

"Start!" Pein ordered, Sara grinned and vanished "what the fu-?!" Hidan exclaimed then dodged to the side as Sara brought her foot down from above, her foot hit the ground creating a small crater, she got out of the crater and charged at Hidan.

Up in the stands Tayla was watching with her fingers crossed, but even she was shocked at the crater Sara created "Sara-chan never did that in training" Tobi commented from beside Tayla making her jump "Tayla-chan, did you know Sara-chan could do that?" Tayla shook her head "no Tobi, I didn't and just call me Tayla, okay?"

"Okay Tayla, Tobi is a good boy" Tayla sweat dropped and turned her attention back to the fight.

Sara back flipped as Hidan swung his scythe out, landing Sara ran her hands through some signs and disappeared in a cloud of smoke "what is she fuckin' doing?" Hidan wondered, the smoke cleared and Sara stood there "hmm, I guess that didn't work. Oh well" she said smiling and got into a fighting stance.

Everyone sweat dropped "she's an idiot" Tayla stated, Tobi looked at Tayla then at Sara and back again "Tobi believes in Sara-chan" Tayla smiled "so do I"

Sara dodged Hidan's scythe then blocked his punch "man is that all you can do? My granny can fight better then you" she teased "why you fucking heathen!" he yelled, Sara grinned "I'll fucking sacrifice your fucking heathen ass to Jashin-sama!" Hidan continued yelling "you only hurt the ones you love" Sara sang.

"That means Sempei loves Tobi!" Tobi cheered hugging Deidara "not a chance un!" Deidara yelled throwing Tobi off him "I've never heard that saying before un, Danna does that mean you love all your human puppets un?" he asked Sasori as he turned towards him "…no" Sasori stated with an emotionless face 'it suits Itachi well' Tayla thought glancing over at the Uchiha 'there are similarities between him and Tam, I wonder how they would get along-' a bang pulled Tayla from her thoughts, she looked over at the match to find Sara pinned to the wall by Hidan's scythe "Sara!" Tayla shouted standing up, Tobi gasped and Hidan laughed "not talking so big now are ya" he stopped laughing when he saw the smile on Sara's face "what?!" he growled "your still an idiot" she claimed, Hidan growled and ran towards her. Tayla gasped and was about to jump over the railing when someone grabbed her arm, she turned and glared at Kakuzu who had grabbed he "watch" he ordered, Tayla's glare hardened but she slowly at down and watched as smoke surrounded Sara again, Hidan stopped and ducked as his scythe flew out of the cloud, over his head and into the wall on the opposite side of the room "what the?" Tayla looked back at the cloud of smoke to find that where Sara was a few moments ago now a horse looking thing "Ahhh! Sara-chan turned into a horse!" Tobi yelled, the horse growled at Tobi "I'm not a horse you nit-wit, I'm a kelpie nor am I Sara" it said "oh" Tobi pouted "hey" Tayla spoke up "a kelpie is a horse, so as much as I hate to say it… Tobi's right" she said, then Tobi hugged her "yay, Tobi's right!" he cheered.

Hidan stared at the kelpie "then where is the girl?" he asked "I'm right here" a voice replied from behind him, he turned around and was greeted by a fist in the face. Hidan stumbled back a few steps and looked up to see the smiling face of Sara 'that's enough" Pein ordered, Sara turned towards the kelpie "thanks for the help Kari" Kari nodded and disappeared in a puff of smoke "when can you summon?" Tayla shouted angrily, Sara rubbed the back of her head "I found out a few days ago" she said with a grin, Tayla groaned "you should have told me" she said as Sara sat beside her "we could have practiced together because I also know my summon" she told her, Sara turned to her "really?" Tayla nodded "they look like Kirara from Inyasha"

"Cool" Sara replied "well done Sara" Pein said behind them making them jump "have some lunch, then its Tayla's turn" he added.
