The Guardian Angel (Naruto Fan fiction)

29.

I'm not going into detail with the fights. Mainly because I can't really describe fight scenes all that well but, also because I'm too lazy to. Yeaaa I'm a lazy ass like Shikamaru xD. Sorry. I hope you can forgive me.

Alexandra's/Manami's POV

Currently, everyone is watching Sasuke's match. It's going better than I remember it. That might be because he's not as exhausted as he would've been if he had taken that bite. Either way, Sasuke won spectacularly.

Next up, was Shino!! Oh I love his fight!! So smarticles. Unlike me. Heh, yeaa. Any who, back to the situation at hand, Shino was warning Zaku to quit.

Zaku was having none of that and refused. Showing everyone that one arm does move. Wait. His arms were still injured? But Sasuke...

I looked at Sasuke. He was paying attention to the fight. I walked up to him. "Hey. Sasuke? I have a quick question." I told him.

He looked at me questioningly. "Yeah? What is it?" He asked half interested. I narrowed my eyes at him slightly.

"What happened to his arms? I heard that after I... collapsed... you guys encountered that team and beat them. What did you guys do?" I asked him cautiously.

He raised an eyebrow at me. "We beat him. What else?" He replied sassily. I looked at him unamused. "Look, if you're asking if we 'broke his arms' then the answer is no. Technically."

I looked at him bewildered. "What do you mean technically!? It's either you did or didn't!" I exclaimed softly not trying to get attention.

I looked towards the fight and noticed Zaku was being cornered by Shino and his bugs. I smiled proudly and looked back at Sasuke who was looking at me suspiciously.

"Why do you want to know?" He asked me. I looked at him sternly and replied, "I need to know. Trust me. Did you, or did you not hurt his arms?" I asked him almost desperately. I looked back at the fight and noticed Zaku's arms had already exploded.

I looked away cringing but got over it, cheering for Shino. "I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT SHINO!! GREAT JOB!! WOO!! YEAH!!" I bellowed. People were looking at me weird but I didn't care. He's important to me.

He turned to look at me and nodded curtly. I grinned at him and gave him a thumbs up turning away looking back at Sasuke.

"Well?" I asked him again. He groaned in annoyance. "It was an accident ok? I punched him and sent him back a little and he tried to catch himself by holding on to branches but someone went flying in his direction and landed on him. The force of the hit and the grip he had on the branch caused him to dislocate his arms. So yes we kind of did that. Happy?" He said frustrated.

I just stared at him. I even blinked twice. But I couldn't hold it in. I cracked the fuck up. I was laughing so hard, tears were coming out.

"Y-you mean... you mean to tell me that he got fucked up, cause of an accident like that!? Bwahahahahahaha oh my Kami this is gold!!" I said still laughing.

"Hn." Was all he said to me. I finally calmed down and went back to my spot next to Shikamaru. I giggled to myself for a little while longer.

I mean, that was funny man. Like, I prevented a horrible incident to happen which should've evened the odds out a little. Shino is an amazing ninja. Even if Zaku was perfectly fine, Shino would've won. So I wasn't worried. Yet, that happened. Hehehe. Dumbass.

Anyway, I focused on the next match and bet with Shikamaru on the fights. "I bet on Kitty Cat." I whispered to him. He raised his eyebrow in amusement.

"And I bet on the winner." He said. I deadpanned. "You're no fun." I retorted. He cracked a smile and looked at me.

"I better change that before that date then. What a drag. I thought I was ok." He playfully replied. I tried not to smile at that but it came out as a cutesy pout.

"The match goes to... Kankuro."

"Guess we both win." Shikamaru said smiling. Now I was really pouting. What a party pooper. Too smart sometimes.

Shikamaru's POV

She was pouting real cute. She looked like a little kid who was told they couldn't have a cookie. Between mad and sad. I had to laugh at that. She was so cute sometimes.

I couldn't help but look at her lips though. They're so soft and the way she's pouting, makes them look even more kissable. Damn, what I wouldn't do to kiss her again. But I have to wait.

They say great things come to those who wait. Well, if it means getting her, I'll wait forever if I have to.

Alexandra's/Manami's POV

Shikamaru was looking at me funny but I ignored it. I looked back and noticed Ino and Sakura fighting. Oh, this fight kills me. Not literally but y'know what I mean.

I zoned out for a long ass time thinking about how I am to save the third Hokage. Because I'd rather die than not try. I'll discuss this matter with him later. I have a month anyway. Finally I snapped back to reality when Shikamaru shook me.

I looked at him questioningly but was only answered by him pointing at the screen.

Manami Kosonoy
vs.
Yuika Kurīkage

Awwww fuck. My eyes widen in shock. I looked at Yui and noticed her staring at me shocked as well.

I shrugged my shoulders in all indecisive way. To which she returned. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to see who it belonged to.

Naturally, it belonged to a smiling Nara who simply wished to wish me good luck. "Be careful Manami, you just woke up from a 3 day coma. Promise me you'll be careful. Please? For... For me?" He slightly struggled to say.

I smiled warmly at him and nodded. "Of course. I promise to try my hardest yet still be careful. Mk?" I told him.

He looked hesitant but nodded nevertheless. He then released my arm. I made my way to the arena where Yui was waiting with a torn expression.

"Mamani-chan, I don't want to fight you. But, I also want to succeed. So, no hard feelings?" she asked me.

I looked at her in her disbelief. "Are you kidding me!? Of course not! I understand Yui. May the best kunoichi win." I reassured her.

She looked relieved somewhat. Then, she looked determined. Now I'm slightly nervous, you see, they don't call her Satan's Warrior for nothing.

"Yuika Kurīkage, Satan's Warrior. Fighting me, Manami Kosonoy also known as the Angelic Demon. What an interesting fate. Don't you think?" I asked her with a cocky look.

Don't misunderstand though, I'm not being cocky. I know I'm most likely getting my ass handed to me by her but I can't let her know that I'm betting on my own loss right?

Either way, as soon as the words had left my mouth, there was gossip everywhere. I could distinctively hear our names over and over again.

Yuika, with a poker face, added to my statement. "Indeed, I hope you know I won't hold back."

I smirked. "I'd be offended if you did." I told her. We got in our fight stances.

"I want a clean fight you two. Do you understand me?" Hayate said. We nodded.

He looked at both of us, our faces nothing but seriousness and determination.

"In that case. Fight!"
