I DO NOT OWN NARUTO AND/OR THE CHARACTERS

Kunoichi Fight

Kiba, Shino, Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Tenten, Lee, and Neji were at the training grounds waiting for Hinata and Sakura to show up.

Tenten: Do you think they'll show up?

Neji: Hinata will, I'm sure of it.

Flashback, Hinata and Sakura were leaving after making their Gai inspired challenge.

Hinata: NEJI!

He catches up to her.

Neji: What is it, Hinata?

Hinata: I need to make preparations, come with me and bring Lee with you.

Neji: Yes. Maybe I can talk her out of this madness.

Neji helps her with her technique and Lee helps her on how to deal with substantial physical blows. Neji watches her practice with Lee, he notices her steely resolve as Hiashi enters the dojo.

Hiashi: What is all this, Neji?

Neji: Your daughter is preparing for battle.

Hiashi: Battle? With whom? Did those wretches from the Cloud Village return? Byakugan!

Neji: No, she's preparing for battle with Sakura.

Hiashi: Sakura? Really?

Neji: It appears that she took your words of never backing down to heart.

Hiashi: Hmm. Hinata?

Hinata stops her training with Lee and stands before her father.

Hinata: Yes, father?

Hiashi: So, you plan to fight the Haruno girl over Naruto?

Hinata: No...

Neji and Lee looks at her confused.

Hinata: ...I plan to beat her for Naruto.

Hiashi smiles.

Hiashi: Now this is the daughter I was training. See that you do, I like that Naruto kid. He's spirited. I'll leave you three to it.

Hinata: Uh, father?

Hiashi: Yes, Hinata?

Hinata: Could you help me prepare?

Hiashi: I would but I can't, if this were the chunin exams then it would be fine but I can't in good conscious train you to hurt a comrade. All I can do is support you.

Hinata: I understand. Thank you.

Hinata resumes her preparations. End flashback.

Ino: You should've seen Sakura.

Flashback, Sakura is leaving after making her challenge to Hinata. She stops and looks at the Ino-Shika-Cho Trio.

Sakura: You three, come here!

They scramble over to Sakura for fear of the look on her face.

Sakura: You three are going to help me get ready, come on.

They help Sakura deal with a barrage of multiple attacks coming from all angles by attacking her all at once, she has to heal them after their training session was done.

Shikamaru: How troublesome.

Ino: Sakura, are you really going through with this?

She finishes healing Choji.

Sakura: Why not?

Ino: Because you're comrades, there's no point in hurting each other over Naruto.

Sakura: Watch what you say about Naruto.

Ino: Sorry, sheesh.

Shikamaru: It's useless, Ino. They're just behaving like typical women, troublesome.

Both girls turn to him with malice in their eyes.

Ino & Sakura: What did you say?

Shikamaru: Uh, nothing.

Ino: Look, Sakura, just don't over do it. Okay?

End flashback. They were still waiting for the rivals to show up.

Kiba: I don't want to see these two fight but I don't want to see Hinata punk out, ya know Shino?

Shino: I have confidence in Hinata to make the right choice.

Choji: Look!

They turn their attentions to figures approaching from opposite sides. As get closer, they recognized them as Hinata and Sakura who decides not to waste anytime and charge upon seeing each other.

Ino: Look at them.

Ino notes that they've both retied their forehead protectors to the proper places on their foreheads and Hinata wasn't wearing her jacket. They continue to charge each other with rage in their eyes and leap into the air, the tackle each other in the air with Sakura taking the clear advantage. They hit the ground and Sakura ends up on top of her, she delivers a devastating blow to Hinata's head but she reverses it and throws Sakura off of her and makes it back to her feet. They face off and attack each other harder than anyone there has ever seen.

Kiba: I've never seen Hinata fight like this.

Neji: Neither have I, things might have been different if she had fought me like this during the chunin exams.

Ino: I'm glad Sakura and I's rivalry never came to this.

The battle raged on for what seem like forever and they've both used everything they know to win, Sakura had broken a few of Hinata's ribs and in retaliation, Hinata used the last of her chakra to cut of the chakra flow to her hands and feet to prevent anymore damaging blows. They were now running on a combination of love for Naruto, hate for each other, and pure adrenaline at this point as they were struggling to breathe and see clearly.

Neji: This is truly a battle for the ages.

Lee: I agree, this battle is the stuff of legend. It is on par with the two battles at the Valley of The End.

Tenten: I can't believe they're still standing.

Shikamaru: Those two are gonna need more rest than I do when this is over.

Choji: Someone needs to put a stop to this.

Kiba: I'm not getting in between those two.

Shino: It'd be fruitless to stop this.

They all look at Shino knowing that his words had deep meaning behind them as he only spoke when necessary.

Neji: I agree. If we stop them now, they'd only have their hate building inside of them. Sasuke and I are perfect examples of what happens to someone who goes through is. It's best to let them work this out their own way.

The two weary warriors stand on the battlefield, looking into each other rage infested eyes.

Sakura: I've got to end this bitch now.

Hinata: This has gone on long enough.

They charge each other for one last assault.

Kiba: It looks like the grand finale.

They each land a right hand that knocks them both down. They struggle to their feet but only manage to raise their heads to look at each other.

Sakura: Asexual…

Hinata: Flat-chested…

Sakura & Hinata: …bitch.

They lose consciousness and pass out.

Ino: We've got to get them to the hospital.

Sakura and Hinata wake up a week later in the newly rebuilt Leaf Village hospital. The first person to greet Sakura was Shizune.

Shizune: Are you alright, Sakura?

She struggles to sit up.

Sakura: I'll manage.

Shizune: Good. Now WHAT WERE THE TWO OF YOU THINKING?! You almost killed each other, for what?

Sakura: Naruto.

Shizune: Really? So, you like him, huh?

Sakura remains silent but her face says it all.

Shizune: Well, I guess I've heard of stranger reasons to fight than love. Just get some rest and you'll be out in a couple of days.

Sakura: And back on her ass, too.

Down the hall, Hinata comes to at the same time as Sakura, she's greeted by Kurenai.

Kurenai: Well, well, Hinata. I didn't know you were capable of this.

She struggles to sit up.

Kurenai: You two must've really had it out, how do you feel?

Hinata: Nowhere as bad as she looks, I can tell you that.

Kurenai: How did it come to this?

Hinata: I don't know but this isn't over.

The next day, Hinata had regained enough strength to move around in the hospital. As it happens, she walks past Sakura's open hospital room door.

Sakura: Was that…

Hinata: …her?

She walks back to the door and they each confirmed what they saw. They immediately attack each other with all of the strength they could muster.

Hinata: Why can't you just let us be together?

Sakura: I was here first.

Ino burst into the room to find them choking each other.

Ino: Naruto's been taken!

Adios.

Be on the look out for the sequel, "Cherry Bombs!" See ya', Space Cowboy.
