The Breaking Point (SasukeXOC)

38

I came back a few minutes later after cooling my heated face and mentally shoving some weird emotions deep down into a void inside me where I can never find them again.

"Sasuke is always screwing up!" Naruto yelled to Konohamaru who was supposed to be interviewing Sasuke by now.

"I'll screw you up." Sasuke threatened angrily.

"Guys, come on we're supposed to be a team!" Sakura protested.

"Well I guess we have everything we need, see ya later, boss!" Konohamaru yelled before scurrying away with his two little friends.

"What did I miss?" I asked Sakura who was worriedly glancing between Naruto and Sasuke who looked like they were about to punch each other.

"Miyu, help! Make them stop!" she pleaded. I curiously observed the two as they glared at each other and tossed insults back and forth.

"With words?" I asked her, confused.

"I don't care! Do anything! Just get them to stop fighting each other!" she shrieked. I pursed my lips and nodded to her.

I took a few steps forward towards the boys. They were standing in each other's faces so there was little space between them. They were so caught up in their fighting that they didn't notice my advance.

I summoned my newfound speed from training and crouched down while simultaneously sweeping my leg out in a circle to trip them both. As they fell I shot up from my crouch to a standing position and pushed on both of their chests with each hand, sending them a few feet away from me as I stood where they once fought. They both landed in the dirt a few meters one either side of me with a thud.

"What the hell, Miyu?"

"What's your problem, Miyu?"

I gave them each my nastiest glare. I froze Naruto on the spot in fear and managed to get Sasuke to look away angrily.

"Knock it off. We have an exam to finish. If I catch you two fighting before the end of this exam one more time, I won't be happy. You got that?" I growled out, my upper lip rising slightly to show off my glinting fangs.

The two watched me with mouths agape and fear shining in their eyes before muttering apologies and standing from the ground. In a second I went from 'I'm going to tear out your entrails' to 'happy-go-lucky' and smiled at the boys.

"Good! Glad we agree!" I chirped. The two gave me weird looks.

"Miyu can be so weird." Naruto muttered under his breath.

"Tell me about it..." Sasuke muttered back.

"Wow, I can't believe you did it, Miyu!" Sakura gasped as she bounced to my side.

"You can't? I learned it from you." Sakura stared at me blankly. "You know," I continued, "how you go from sweet to fiery in seconds whenever Naruto annoys you? I tried it. Looks like it's a pretty good tactic!" the two of us giggled and lined up at the gate.

It was almost time to begin the second test of the Chunnin Exams.

The gates opened. As if in a race, we all rushed inside the Forest of Death.

Personally, I'm not sure why we all rushed into the forest. It's most likely what every team decided to do, so it would've made more sense for us to hang back around the outskirts of the training field where less ninja would be. Then we could've hidden in the trees and moved inwards silently in order to surround any prey we see.
