Nobody knew that I was a Hyuuga, I had kept my eyes wrapped. I kept my grades Average, hiding how I have the byakugan....until now. Shikamaru's match was done, and Sasuke still wasn't here so, it was my turn. To entertain them, since my apponent never showed they declared me the winner. Which was boring, and people booed.

"Awe man!" I muttered

I spun on my heel and made my way back to where the others were, but I was called back. They were going to have me go up against a Jonin, which people cheered at....it was my Sensei. Oh fun. I got into a stance, ready.

"Come on Aka! You can do this!!" Naruto shouted

I glanced at him right when Genma said to begin, I was kicked back into the wall with full force. I coughed out blood, leaning foward. He continued to pound me, Sasuke showed up in the middle of the fight. People told Genma to end it, so Sasuke and Gaara could fight.

"Come on Aka!!! You can do it!! You're stronger than you look!!!" Naruto cheered

"Come on Aka!! You're crush is here!!~" shouted Sakura and Ino

I blushed bright red and caught sensei's foot, and lifted my leg; kicking him in the stomach making him go backwards. I whipped my mouth, which had blood on it.

"....Okay....I'll get serious. Just....keep your mouths shut okay!!!" I shouted,

I got into the Hyuuga's stance, and made a come hither motion. This time, I fought back. I knew he hated me, that he blamed me. We had a mission before the finals, my two teammates got killed because we got split up and some ninja got to them. He said if I was with them, they wouldn't have died....they were twins, and his sons.

In the end, I defeated him. I was declared the winner, I spun on my heel and headed toward the waiting spot. There were loud cheers as I turned, Sasuke walked in. I smiled a little, his eyes widened in fear? I gave him a confused look, his mouth moved but I couldn't hear over the cheering. Not until I felt some pain, in my back. The noise went quiet,

"AKA!!!" Sakura screamed

I fell forward, but before I could hit the ground I was caught by something a bit rough, but soft....sand.

"We need to get her to the Hospital quick!" I heard Genma shout

"I got her, you can let her go now....Gaara." Kakashi spoke

I was gentle placed in someone's arms....my body hurt. So bad, I ended up passing out from the pain.
