A/N: This story is about Sakura Haruno and Hoshigaki Kisame getting together. First, I'm not going to rush the romance as I hate writing something that is way too OOC(out of character). It's kind of impossible for them to meet up someday and just fall in love head over heels with each other.
Btw, this takes place after Sakura killed Sasori and somehow ended with team 6 under Guy with Neji, Tenten and Rock Lee after all the healing business and found Guy to be physically unfit to battle with Kisame anymore.
In this fanfic, Sakura is a lot stronger than she usually is, or maybe the Akatsukis are weaker than they usually are. Either way, gotta make them on equal footings so this is necessary.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Chapter One
'Like hell I am going to let him do that!' Sakura resolved in her head as she rushed with lightning speed to team 6 who were under vicious attack by none other than H. Kisame with his famous chakra-eating sword.
She had been worried sick when even after they had finished off Sasori and met up with the rest of team 7 that team 6 was still nowhere to be seen. So, she rushed off alone to find them, and good thing too, or Guy would have been on his way to shinigami(death god) right now. His thigh had been slashed open and he seemed to be running low on chakra and blood.
She rushed in front of Kisame, buying time for Guy to move away to a better place while all the time knowing she has little chance against the legendary S-class criminal. 'S-class! And what am I again? Chuunin? Yeah, right.' But she has been personally trained Tsunade, fifth Hokage, and this raised her spirits a little.
Sakura aimed a kick at his mid-section and missed when he jumped backwards, avoiding the chakra-enhanced kick. Sakura jumped back to Guy's side, healing him the best she could while other members of team 6 battled Kisame.
When she was nearly done, she heard a chuckle somewhere above her and promptly moved out of danger's path, dragging the healed, but weakened Guy with her. "Guy sensei, please stay away out of this for a while, me and the rest of team 6 will hold him at bay while you let your body get accustomed to the sudden healing, okay?" she addressed the usually hyper sensei. Guy nodded, looking pale and sick.
As she looked up, she mentally cringed. Team 6 was currently trapped in some sort of bubble like substance, unable to aid her in any sort of combat. "This is not good," she muttered under her breath. Apparently, Kisame heard her and chuckled. "Entertain me, kunoichi," flashing his toothy grin.
She grimaced and lashed out at him, which he successfully avoided. After a couple of taijutsus, she decided to get serious and made a very nice feign. Through sheer luck, she managed to kick Samehada (Kisame's sword) away from Kisame and Inner Sakura cheered at this small success. The smug look on her face didn't stay long as she noticed a pale blue fist heading towards her mid rift. Not…good. Knowing she doesn't have enough time to duck, she pumped more chakra than usual to her fist and aimed it at Kisame's mid rift.
When he landed his punch on the kunoichi's lithe form, he felt a couple of ribs snapping and grinned in satisfaction as her face turned into a very ugly expression. 'How much can a little kunoichi's punch damage him, anyway? Even if it was chakra enhanced?' he thought. He didn't have much time to think, and next thing he knew, the fist has sunk into his stomach, knocking the winds out of him, breaking a couple of ribs as well.
Both of them jumped back, coughing blood. Both of them were breathing heavily, and he was actually impressed by her performance. Not many can even touch the Hoshigaki Kisame (A/N: talk about arrogance!!) in a combat, let alone inflict such degree of injury.
Sakura already knew the outcome of this futile battle, she is running out of chakra, sustained a serious injury, while her opponent still had a huge reserve of chakra and that stupid Samehada sword. All her hopes lay on Guy-sensei, but as she turned her head to take a glance at him, she knew it was a lost cause. He still looked extremely pale and seemed to have passed out.
She focused her attention at the man in front of her and opted to use her last bit of chakra to deliver the last blow. She ran to him, avoided a kick, and aimed at his head.
Unfortunately for her, the broken ribs had taken its toll on her and she had slowed down a great deal. He avoided her easily and with crushing force, drove his thumb into the hollow directly beneath the skull. The last thing Sakura saw before she passed out was the sadistic grin on his face and the terrified look on her friends' face. Then, everything went dark.
