The Bridge Part II

Chapter Six-

Sadness and unbelief welled up inside me, but it was pushed away by anger. The malice spread through me, a poison to my body and mind. My mind clouded, my muscles tightened, adrenaline pulsed through my blood and chakra streams. The pressure slowly, yet quickly, rose up inside me; I could feel it roaring between my ears. I parted my lips and let out a defining, blood curling scream.

"SASUKE!"

Despite my promise to Lord Hokage; I ran, plunging myself into the midst of battle.

I let out another cry before biting my thumb. The blood flowed freely over my fingers and palms. My hands flashed through the proper hand signs, carefully practices in past years. I could feel the familiar feeling of chakra becoming active inside my person.

I ran by countless opponents, but my attention was fixed on one; the one who threw the shuriken. Innumerable men pointed their weapons at me, puncturing my skin, challenging me. Soon I was a bloody mess. But I ignored everyone; I had to take down him first.

Finally I had built up enough chakra. "Kanetsu!" I yelled, placing my thumb and forefinger together and holding the other three fingers straight in the air. I blew through the circle. The man in front of me streamed as I ran by. I knew what was happening. The screams grew louder as the heat slowly burned him from the inside, out.

At last I made it to my destination. The man who took down Sasuke was ugly. His face was scarred, puncture wounds littered his scalp. His head was too small for his well muscled body and his squinty eyes were too far apart.

By executing an inside out crescent kick, I quickly got rid of the kunai knife in his hands. The weapon flew through the air and landed neatly in my hand. With another knife in hand, the scarred men attacked me. I blocked every strike with beastly movements.

"Erekutorikku!" I yelled when I saw an opening in my enemy's defense. My hand extended and touched the surface of his skin.

He yelled out as my attack jolted through his body. I took a few seconds to smile as what little hair he had stood on end, before turning around and making my way to Sasuke; who lay on the other side of the mass of fighters. Though now, I didn't avoid fighting with anyone. I fought every enemy I encountered head on.

"Ranpu! Kanetsu! Chakujitisu! Kenikaru! Erekutorikku! Shaintai!"

The people I directed my chakra at screamed out in searing agony as my Konki Jutsu took its toll.

Soon, Kakashi, Sakura, Naruto and I killed our last opponent. And I made it to Sasuke's side.

"Naruto, come help me."

Together, the two of us pulled the overgrown throwing star out of Sasuke's back. Naruto threw the weapon, allowing it to land in a nearby body a few yards away. Meanwhile, I was busy with a clean kunai knife, ripping Sasuke's shirt away from his body.

I studied Naruto for a second, he was breathing heavily, but I knew that he had just enough energy to help me. "I'm going to borrow your energy." I told him. "So don't get nervous when you start feeling faint."

Naruto nodded, determined look was set on his face. That is, until what I said sank into his thick head. "Wai…"

"Shhh." I quieted his protest and closed my eyes. I could feel my chakra swirling around in my mind. I concentrated it, not with my hands as many do, but with my brain.

Everyone gasped as my chakra became visible. It wrapped around my hand like a pulsing blue glove as I started to draw upon Naruto's energy.

When I was ready, I inhaled deeply and whispered in a shaky voice, "Fikusu."

I moved my hand over the hole in Sasuke's back. The warm sticky blood continued to flow freely, but not for long. Behind my eyelids, I saw the wound, I felt the pain, and slowly I used my chakra to make it all go away. I could feel the muscle mend itself under my hand. I made the flesh before me heal. Sticky strings of gathered cells wove across the wound, pulling the sides together. When I finished, the only proof that Sasuke was ever hit be the shuriken was a white scar in the center of his back.

I let the chakra the surrounded my outstretched hand retreat back into my chakra streams. I let gasped for breath, not realizing that I was holding it while I performed the Fikusu Jutsu.

Sweat beaded Naruto's brow. I didn't use a lot of his energy for fear of over exhausting him.

"Thanks." I gasped before turning to Kakashi. "Flip him over please?"

The jônin did as I asked as I struggled to regain my breath. I feared the moment when I had to place my hand on Sasuke's chest, if it was cold then I will never be able to save him.

I let out a sigh of relief, my heart pounded in my chest as I felt the warmth of Sasuke's heart weakly trying to start pumping blood through his body. He wasn't beyond saving. Quietly, I asked Sakura to perform mouth to mouth.

Sickness filled Sakura's face as she tilted his head back. But despite the fear and thrill of "kissing" her crush, she took a deep breath and let it out slowly, filling Sasuke's lungs. She did that two more times as I rebuilt my chakra for the next step in saving Sasuke. I wasn't sure if this was going to work. I have never had to do this before and I didn't get trained in it. No one thought the need would come up. But now, I had to think up a clever way to bring someone back after being almost dead.

Watching Sakura, my heart tightened every time her lips made contact with Sasuke's. The memories of the past few days flashed behind my eyes. Our marriage, traveling to the land of Waves, our walk through the forest, and what he whispered to me after I tripped that morning.

"No," I whispered under my breath so no one else could hear, "you need to be more careful." I blinked my eyes a couple of times, desperately fighting back an influx of tears.

When Sakura finished I motioned her to move back. She did so as I centered my chakra to the center of my palms then placed over his heart; his skin was still slightly warm. "Shintai." I helped his heart move, urging it to push his blood through his veins harder.

I brushed tears away from my eyes. Now was not the time to let my emotions get in the way. "Do it again, Sakura." My voice cracked.

His chest rose and fell again as the pink-haired genin pushed breath into his lungs. I wiped away another tear and dried my hands on my pants.

"Shintai." I repeated again helping his blood warm his body. "One more time Sakura."

When she looked away, Sasuke's chest heaved on its own before he started coughing.

"Naruto help him sit up." Kakashi ordered and together they supported Sasuke's torso.

"W…what happened?" he asked, slightly confused as he looked around at the fallen enemies.

I didn't hear Sakura's reply. My ears started ringing and my vision went blurry. Then, everything fell away, leaving me in a peaceful black abyss.

"W…what happened?" Sasuke asked, holding his head with his palm.

"You were kill…" tears filled Sakura's eyes. And before anyone could finish her sentence, Katai wavered a little before falling unconsciously into Sasuke's arms.

"What's with her?" Naruto dared to ask.

Sasuke grunted as he arranged Katai's body in a more comfortable position in his arms before replying. "The jutsu she used eats up a lot of chakra. I'm surprised she's not dead."

"How'd she bring you back?" Sakura asked, still a little unnerved that the shinobi she was talking to was dead only minutes before.

Sasuke sighed, closing his eyes. "I wasn't dead, close to it though. Her kekkei genkai…it…allows her to control energy with a word."

"Wait…I read about something like that. It's said that only members of the Yakunan Clan can inherit that trait. How can she use it when she's an Uchiha? By using the Sharingan?"

"If I may Sasuke," Kakashi prompted. "There was a treaty recently that ended the Yakunan/Uchiha feud. The agreement was made through an arranged marriage…"

"You mean Sasuke and Katai are married?!" Naruto interrupted as Sakura gasped.

"No, most likely they're stepbrother and sister. Right Sasuke?" The Uchiha protégé nodded. "Okay, now that that's settled, lets head home." Kakashi stood up and looked at the Land of Waves police force. The chief walked over to the group.

"Mind explaining?" he asked his arm moved over the dead or unconscious men lying on the ground.

"We were attacked." Kakashi said nonchalantly, "But we do need to tell this to the Hokage, the Kohana Village will send a team to help with this though and answer all your questions."

The chief ran his fingers through his hair, "Fine, but I'm holding you to that."

Kakashi smiled beneath his mask before leaning over and picking up Katai's limp form. After Sasuke stood up, he insisted on carrying Katai himself. Reluctantly, Kakashi handed her over.

Together, the group of shinobi took off in the direction of their home, where more calamities awaited the young Uchiha couple.

She paced back and fourth, unhappy with the news she had just received. When she saw her partner, she took a deep breath in a desperate attempt to calm her nerves.

"Well?" he asked.

Her eyes filled with tears. "I didn't know that she had mastered it."

"Mastered what?"

"The Konki Jutsu…your agents almost had them…but when she realized what was going on…It…it didn't work."

"So, she did master it."

She nodded.

"At such a young age too."

She nodded again.

He sighed, "Okay then, here's what we'll do…"
