"Ready for the fights?!" Gai says. I say, "Yes of course I am... But one question. Am I going to get breaks in between fights? Your girl's gotta eat." A few of us laugh. Asuma says, "Of course you will." I say, "Thank you. I'm ready now." He says, "Ok team 7 first then 8 then 10 then Gai. Got it?" I say, "Yup. Ok, let's go." A deep, monotone voice from behind me says, "Try not to actually hurt her. Because this is nothing more than a spar." Everyone nods but looks kind of shocked. No one thought Shino would say something like that. "Thanks, Shino. But I think I can handle myself." I say, mentally rolling my eyes. He just nods and steps back. "Ok team 7 I'm ready." Sakura says, "Me, then, Naruto then, Sasuke, and Kakashi-sensei." I say, "Bring it on." I giggle.

Sakura and I get into formation in the middle of the training grounds and she starts running about to throw a punch as I swiftly dodge it right before the impact which makes me behind her as she isn't looking. During those two seconds in which she isn't looking, I punch her back making her cough up blood. "I'm sorry!" I say quickly, feeling bad. Gai says, "Fight's over I think. How 'bout you Kakashi?" The gray-haired man just gives a nod. I say, "Alright! I did it! Good job Sakura you're fast." She says, "Thanks."

Naruto says, "My turn now! Believe it!" I laugh and get in formation. The last fight was so quick I didn't need to rest. He starts coming at me and yells, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" 7 more Narutos appear and surround me. I have my blood shape into something with a point within me and puncture my skin, but it doesn't hurt. I've adapted to it. The blood that seeps out of my body turns into a few shurikens that are almost impenetrable, however, I make it so it won't hurt Naruto. I throw the shuriken towards the clones and they poof and disappear. Naruto does the Jutsu again and one comes under me a kicks me into the air. He yells, "Uzumaki barrage!" And kicks me from above and Shino runs below me and grabs me right before I hit the ground. "Naruto, what did I tell you!" A slight amount of anger in his voice. I look up at Shino and say, unintentionally coldly, "Thanks. But I can handle myself." He says, "It's my duty to keep you safe." I look at him oddly then push myself up to get some water.

"Ok, Sasuke I'm ready," I say. He gets up lazily and says, "let's get this over with." I say, "You're a bit of a duckbutt, you know?" He blows his hair out of his face. We get in our fighting positions. He kicks but I catch it and twist his leg so I have control over it. He tries to punch me but he's behind me so it doesn't work. I grab his foot with both hands and slam him on the ground. "I won, duckass." He says, "I may have underestimated you." I grab some water and continue. "Alright next fight, I guess," I say.

Kakashi takes his face out of his book. "Alright." We get ready to battle. He starts off by kicking and punching which I dodge and then one comes so close to my face but I back away slightly and grab the copy ninja's leg. He says, "You're pretty good." And gets out of my grip with ease. I groan. I make a shuriken out of blood and throw it slightly to the left of him. He looks at it and I throw one towards his right arm. He dodges it. I grunt as he disappears then reappears behind me. He puts a "defeated" sticker on my back and says, "I didn't want to stab you with my kunai so I did this instead." I say, "Thanks, Kakashi-sensei." He gives a closed-eyed smile with his one visible eye.

I get a few minutes for break and I drink some water and have another rice ball.

"Ok, I'm ready for team 8 now." Hinata says, "um Tat-tat-suko I-I c-can g-go f-first." I say, "Ok!" She says, "byakugun!" And veins appear around her eyes. "Hm?" I say. I look to Shino and he stares emotionlessly, wondering if I'll figure out her blind spot. I say, "let's go!" She gets in a fighting stance and so do I. She says "8 trigrams 16 palms." She almost hits me but only because of my incredible speed, I was able to dodge it. She says, "32 palms." And hits me once at a certain point. When she hit me I basically lost all of my chakra and energy. "Tat-tat-Tatsuko, I-I'm s-so s-sorry." She says. I say, "it was fun fighting with you Hinata. You're very good." She says, "R-really? You t-think that?" "Yes, Hinata." She seems genuinely surprised that I said this. I take a bit longer to recover from that one.

Kurenai says, "Alright I will go next." She does a handsign and vines start climbing up my legs. "What the..." I trail off. I realize that I am caught in a genjustu. Kurenai says, "Fights over."

Kiba says, "Ok my turn!" I say, "Ok, Dog Boy! Show me what you've got!" He growls a bit says, "Oi don't call me that." I giggle and say, "Alright, you hound." Akamaru growls. Kiba says, "That's it! I'm gonna rip you to shreds!" He throws a punch at me and I dodge it. I kick under him which he dodges but gets a little off balance. I immediately kick above him and Akamaru bites me but Kiba is out of it. Lee says, "Where did you learn that move?!" I say, "I taught it to myself, why?" He says, "Gai-sensei taught that to me. That's the leaf hurricane, one of my signature moves." Gai says, "Yes. You two are very youthful."

I get some water and go up to Shino and whisper in his ear seductively, "Hey, Shino are you ready for me?" A shiver goes down his spine and he nods. I giggle then skip back over to the fighting area.

3rd person POV

Shino walks into the fighting area. "You ready for me to beat you?" Shino mumbled, trying to work up the courage to fight Tatsuko. He knew that she couldn't help that she was amazingly beautiful and incredibly distracting.

Tatsuko nodded her head and stood in a fight pose. Shino thrust out his hands and thousands upon thousands of bugs poured out of him. Tatsuko let out a yelp and started shaking from fear. The bugs drew closer and closer to her but suddenly stopped. She looked at Shino, confused why he would stop the bugs.

Shino didn't know why his bugs stopped. Maybe it was because Tatsuko was the first person he felt emotionally attached to except for some select family members. He tried to make the bugs swarm Tat, but they just weren't moving.

Tatsuko took this as her chance to win this battle, so she started running towards Shino. She removed a thin shuriken out of her leg and it just barely sliced the top of Shino's arm.

Shino fell to the ground, and Tatsuko let out a celebratory cheer. She held out her hand to help the bug boy up. He slightly blushed and they turn around. Everyone looks astonished. Naruto says, "Did Shino just blush!?" Kiba says, "Shino! Did you just show emotion?" Shino blushes an even deeper shade of red. Instantly all the boys get incredibly jealous of Shino. They all want to live with Tat, so why does Shino get to.

"Shino, are you ok?" Tat says and hugs him. Shino started to blush even harder. Tat decides to tease him in public constantly. He says, "Yes I'm fine. I'm not so sure about my bugs or what caused them to react like that." Tat says, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you. Want me to kiss it better?" Shino blushes furiously. Tat smirked and said, "I'll take that as a yes." Tat kisses Shino on the arm where she cut him.The boy blushes even harder and says, "Thanks."

All the boys look astonished, and one (probably Lee) shouts out a "Hey!" Sasuke blows his hair to the side of his face, jealously. Kiba looks completely weirded out. Neji just looks normal. Naruto jumps in and says, "Can I have a kiss too?" I blush and say, "Of course, Naruto." You kiss his cheek. He blushes and Shino gets angry and possessive for some reason. "Tat is mine!" He thinks, "Wait, what? She's not mine. I don't even like her like that. Do I?" Sasuke says, "Oi Naruto back off she's mine!" Ino and Sakura gasp. Tat turns to Sasuke and says angrily, "I am not anyone's property. So don't you dare start with the 'she's all mine' shit." Shikamaru says, "Women, so troublesome. What a dragggg." Choji just munches on his chips. After a few awkward moments of silence, Kakashi says, "Ok um let's continue."

Asuma says, "Ok you first, Ino." Ino says, "I'm winning Sasuke back." Tat says, "You can have him." Sasuke grunts. Ino says, "Mind transfer Jutsu!" Tat feels completely normal. Ino is on the ground. "Er...Is she ok?" Asuma says, "This fight is over." Tatsuko looks confused and Shikamaru says, "Tat if you're confused, her jutsu transfers her mind into her opponent's body, letting her take control over everything they do. If she misses, she cannot get back into her body for a few minutes." Tat says, "Thanks, Shikamaru." He says, "it's no problem."

Asuma says, "Alright me now." He gets out some brass knuckles and you wince he does a handsign and multiple shadow clones are made. They all start attacking me but I take down them all. I realize none of them were him. He appears behind me with his brass knuckles at my throat. "Fight over." He says.

Choji says, "Ok fight me next!" Tat says, "Ok! Go!" Choji says, "Expansion jutsu!" He grows big and fat. He starts spinning and Tatsuko runs off and disappears. He undos the jutsu and Tatsuko appears behind him. "Never let your enemy get behind you," Tat says and holds the knife up to his back. Choji says, "Ok, you win!" Shikamaru says, "Ok, I guess I need to go next, what a drag."

Shikamaru gets decently away from Tat and does a hand sign. His shadow starts extending towards her. She jumps away from it, just to be caught in one that came from behind. "Not too bad Shika. You're really smart," She said. Shikamaru just nods slightly.

TenTen says, "Who next?" Guy-sensei says, "Neji! You go! Let the pride of youth shine brightly in you!" Tat sighs. "Alright." She thinks, "He has the same eyes as Hinata. Could they be related or have similar jutsus." She decides to take a chance and think that way. She made no mistakes, however. Neji says, "8 trigrams 8 palms, 16 palms..." Tat continuously dodges his attacks until he hits a chakara point. She's back to normal shortly.

"Go on TenTen," Guy says. Lee yells, "Yes! TenTen! You can do it!" Tatsuko sighs. "Alright." She says. TenTen gets out a scroll and makes a handsign. A pair of nunchucks appears and she starts throwing them. They hit Tat and she poofs into a log. "Replacement jutsu," TenTen mumbles. Tatsuko appears behind her, kunai to TenTen's neck. Kakashi declares the match over.

Gai says, "Ok. I am going now." Tatsuko gets into a fighting stance. She kicks at Gai. He dodges it and swiftly gets behind her somehow. He grabs her arms and puts his leg on her back. He says, "Alright, match over." Tatsuko says, "Gai-sensei, you're so fast!" He says, "Why thank you, Tatsuko."

Tatsuko goes to get water and sits next to Shino. Shino whispers to her, "Your next opponent, he's a taijutsu user only. Long range is your best bet at beating him. However, he's fast." She says, "Thanks, Shino." He nods and looks over at her getting up. She says, "Ok I'm ready!" Lee says, "ok let's go!"

They both get into position and Lee rushes towards her. She evades his attack. He says, "Leaf hurricane!" She completely avoids it and does it to him. He backflips away and out of the attack. Lee says, "You are quite good, Tatsuko." She replies, "As are you."

They continue throwing punches and kicks for about 10 minutes. Finally, Tatsuko cuts her arm with a kunai and draws blood which she makes a small shuriken out of. She throws it and it grazes Lee's arm, cutting him. He winces but continues on. Tatsuko is astonished by Lee's willpower. Lee starts running even faster than before and gets behind Tat, kicking her to the ground, gently. She falls on her back. Lee takes his foot and puts it on her stomach, declaring her immobile. He takes a kunai to her neck and says, "I win! Yay!" Gai says, "Good job Lee! And good job to you Tatsuko. You are a splendid ninja! Full of the power of youth!" Tatsuko says, "Thank you Gai-sensei."
