Chapter 7
Previously : "suiton, ozumatoi no jutsu" Kisame shouted. With this, Kisame dropped his Samehada with his available arm. The Samehada that Kisame dropped sank into the ocean. The moment the Samehada was half-way sunk, the water underneath it quickly spiralled creating a whirlpool that protruded from the ocean. There in the eye of the whirlpool, sat the Samehada as if looking at Shikamaru and Temari like it was a king. Kisame quickly jumped high enough to reach the Samehada by the handle.With no delay, Kisame used the Samehada to slash Shikamaru and Temari while the blade of the Samehada was elongated greatly by the whirlpool. The whirlpool uprooted from the ocean and viciously crushed Shikamaru and Temari. Kisame smirked of delight as the two ninja vanished out of sight from his last jutsu.
Kisame looked at the vicinity; there was no one there, not even Shikamaru or Temari. But deep beneath the raging waters of Kisame, lie Temari and Shikamaru unconscious sinking slowly and elegantly into the deep waters beneath. Eventually, they reach into the sea floor or in this case the desert floor out of breath. With their last hope, they release their last breath of air left in them. The bubbles quickly went up to the surface. Suddenly, Shikamaru's right eye slowly half opens. It saw Temari soothingly glide through the water resistance floating towards the desert floor. They lie in the sandy floor beneath Kisame's feet. 'I should finish this.' Kisame thought. He gently placed his palm flatly over the water. He made a one-hand seal shouting
"Suiton, Goshokuzame!!!"
At this, 5 sharks were summoned from the fingers of Kisame. The sharks originated from Kisame's fingers and homed in against Shikamaru and Temari. Shikamaru saw this; he immediately improvised and took Temari to swim to the surface where they could breathe. He succeeded, they were able to reach the surface where they could inhale fresh air. Immediately, Shikamaru executed the Kagemane no jutsu and caught the five sharks. It was followed by a Kage kubi Shibari no jutsu to choke the five vicious sharks into simple water. Shikamaru walked on water with a thin film of chakra placed in the bottom of his foot. He then made a Kage bunshin and gave Temari to it. Kisame got ready for battle. Shikamaru started out by dashing towards him quickly grabbing a kunai from his weapon pouch. He immediately wrapped his kunai with an explosive note. He threw it. Kisame responded by raising a very thin barrier of water. The water barrier absorbed the energy of the kunai slowing it in velocity and speed. Then just when the bubble-thin barrier was about to rid the kunai of all force and motion, the explosive note activated blowing up the water barrier and Kisame at the same time. The force of the note sent ripples to rip the ocean. Heavy dust clouds were created as a result of the explosion. Shikamaru got ready with his battle formation expecting an Akatsuki to perform at a highly skilled level. The dust cloud lifted. Shikamaru saw a large volume of water raised up to defend Kisame from the explosion. Kisame smirked at the enjoyment of the fight.
Temari lie there in the hands of the Kage Bunshin Shikamaru. She lie there motionless and unconscious. She dreamt about HIM with HER.
In her dream, she walked across a road filled with water. The pathway was flooded up to a few inches deep. She continued to walk forward no knowing where she's going. Astonishment was in the air as she saw a terrible sight. She uttered a deafening tone as she saw the visual that she never envisioned. Shikamaru lie there dead and drenched with blood. The red ink that stained his shirt flowed down to the water polluting it rooting out like wind patterns. The blood swirled around and danced in the water where it was free flowed from Shikamaru's body. Temari took shaky steps closer. She cried out. Her eyes crunched up and forced tears to gush out like a sponged when squeezed tightly. With her blue emotions, rain started to fall, the day turned into night. Shikamaru's skin was pelted with rain and Temari was drenched in it. The water that fell from the sky cooperated with the water that streamed from Temari's eyes. She cried out to the heavens. A deafening tone was uttered, uttered out of fear out of misery and out of loneliness.
In the real happening, Shikamaru clenched his kunai tightly as it forced Kisame's Samehada to bow down before him. Kisame freed his right hand by releasing the Samehada and reached to Shikamaru. He stretched his hand that could not reach him. Then suddenly, water started to encase Shikamaru from underneath his feet. It encased him completely into a ball of water that kept Shikamaru afloat. Kisame smirked at his advantage. Kage Bunshin Shikamaru looked at Temari. Tears started to fall down from her eyes.
Temari saw the dead Shikamaru. Her eyes bulged; tears gushed out and pelted the damp wet floor. Water seemed to be the main theme, water above and water below. Suddenly, out of the shadows, came a sand shinobi. His head filled with great abundance of blonde hair. Her eyes bulged as if crazy. From her hands, dripped blood, blood that she knew very well. Temari saw herself with her hand drenched in the blood of Shikamaru. She backed slowly from the overwhelming sight. Immediately, she grabbed her fan. She opened it. Attempting to swing it, it immediately turned to tiny particles of sand. Defenceless, she ran away. She retreated from the dead body of Shikamaru, tears trailed her path. She couldn't look back so she kept on running. Immediately out of nowhere, Shikamaru appeared. His eyes bulged up as if crazy and his face drenched in blood from the bash on his head. Temari gave a final yelp of astonishment as Shikamaru slashed her with a blood kunai in his hands.
Temari woke up from her fright, her upper body immediately shot up from it. She noticed the water that originated from her eyes and is flowing across her cheeks. The Kage bunshin freaked at the sudden movement of Temari. It was no longer needed and thus disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Temari landed on the surface of the water.
Shikamaru was kept afloat inside in a sphere of water. The water's restricting flow kept Shikamaru motionless. Suddenly, a horizontal tornado protruded out of nowhere and spiralled to hit Kisame as if punched by a massive fist. The water that encased Shikamaru quickly fell to the ocean. Shikamaru looked to the direction where the originated. There he saw Temari, standing looking rather poorly.
"the real fight begins here" Temari said bruises marked her body and her arms. She had enough strength to fight.
Temari let loose strong winds. The torrential winds smacked Kisame as if being hit by a solid object. He was sent flying high. Suddenly while in midair, Temari appeared at the back using kunshin no jutsu and waved her fan. The driving wind pound Kisame to the water. Still Kisame smirked despite the slams that he took. A grin appeared from his face and got serious.
"As expected from a chuunin and a Jounin this would be troublesome but not for me. You both are just trash. Now I'll finish this." Kisame confidently said.
Temari dropped at the exhaustion of her actions. Shikamaru caught her. She stood up tired and exhausted. Shikamaru helped her as she stood up.
"Mizu bunshin no jutsu!!!" Kisame shouted
At this, four bunshin were created from the water. They swiftly dashed towards Temari and Shikamaru. They ran rapidly hovering through the water as they dashed. Shikamaru went before Temari to defend her. He resulted in taijutsu and evaded the punches and kicks of the mizu bunshins. He grabbed a kunai from his weapon pouch to defend himself from the bunshin's heavy sword. Weapons clashed violently as heavy swords battled with the kunai. Eventually, he was able to outmatch them and was able to hit them with punches and kunai slashes. The bunshins turned into simple water. Temari got up and, with her remaining strength, swung her fan to create a horizontal twister that ripped through the air like lightning. Water was thrown to the side as the sonic boom created by the wind tore through the area. Eventually, the twister met Kisame. He responded with using his Samehada to protect himself from the wind. The sharp cutting chakra embedded in the wind slashed the steel of the sword creating tiny sparks that fell on the water burning out.
Kisame moved his sword out of the way astonished for he could not move. Kisame melted morphing into water.
'Kawarimi no justu!!' Shikamaru thought gasping.
Kisame emerged behind them from underneath the water. Water gushed out from Kisame's sleeves and dripped from his hair. He waved his Samehada towards Temari and Shikamaru. Immediately, Temari closed her fan clashing it with the heavy sword. From behind her, Shikamaru appeared from behind with a kunai gripped in his hand. He attempted to slash Kisame with it. Kisame opened his mouth spitting out a large volume of water at Shikamaru. He was sent flying outwards. Eventually, Kisame overpowered Temari throwing her fan a few meters away rendering her defenceless. Kisame heavily swung his Samehada to Temari. Frightened, she ducked to evade the swing of the shaving sword. She dashed towards her fan opening Shikamaru for an offense. He dashed towards Kisame at an amazing speed. His kunai was then waved at Kisame. He resisted Shikamaru's attempt by fending it off with his Samehada. After this, a tornado shot towards Kisame. He shot back evading it and dipping his sword in the water shouting
"Suiton, ozumatoi!!!" He raised it from the water and used his elongated Samehada to hit Temari and Shikamaru. They leaped upwards to dodge the raging waters. Temari waved her fan sending out massive winds after Kisame. He waved his sword once more forcing the water stuck in his sword to ripple out towards them blocking the wind and attacking at the same time. Temari protected herself using her fan while Shikamaru crossed his arms to shield his face. The water crashed at them both sending them away. They lie down recovering in the water
"This is getting pointless" Kisame whispered to himself.
"Suiton, Daibafuku no jutsu!!!" Kisame called upon
At this, a humongous wave was created. Gaara dropped from the sky and Kisame caught him. Kisame gave an evil grin as he executed this final jutsu. The wave several stories tall towered over Shikamaru and Temari standing tall rushing towards them. Temari and Shikamaru gasped as they saw the gigantic wave from afar when they finally finished recuperating. Fear descended on the two as they saw the watery tower about to crash on them. Temari immediately spoke about a plan
"Shikamaru lend me some of your chakra and execute a tornado strong enough to create a hole in the water to actually miss us."
Shikamaru nodded. Instantaneously, Shikamaru held the fan of Temari. They held it together and together they swung it with great strength. A chakra-filled torrential tornado contacted the wave. They strong force that was brought about by the wind blew part of the wave. They slicing nature of the tornado slashed the water. Although, it immediately regenerated to its normal state. The tornado subsided into a slight breeze. They gasped as the saw the wave barely even touched. They gave another swing. Together they pivoted the fan. Wind was forced out. However, it too had no effect. The surfing ripple began to collapse crashing down on the two ninja. Temari and Shikamaru positioned the fan in front of them acting like an armor protecting them from the water. The powerful current of the water applied great force on the fan and, because of the fan's wide surface, drove them back. Shikamaru and Temari pushed the fan harder maintaining their stance. They pushed harder and harder as the water drove them back. Eventually, the water gained in strength as the two ninja tired down. Shikamaru and Temari gave in throwing them backwards. They lie down on the water beside each other, holding each others' hands that met up in the fan. They slowly sank down to the water. They let go of the fan. Shikamaru's eyes half opened, a shadowy figure was what he saw. The figure was of the shape of a human being. It motioned towards them.
The scene ends as Shikamaru's eye slowly closes shutting it completely. Temari and Shikamaru float down to the seafloor as bubbles trickled out of their mouths.
(A/N: A NEW CHAPTER HAS FINALLY COME. I congratulate myself for making one of the longest chapters ever that I have ever created. Although, there is no lovey-dovey stuff for the last two chapters, I promise that there would be splashes of romance constantly appearing from time to time. I'm really bad at romance so forgive me. I just do action and adventure, that's why I put a lot of fight scenes. Please give suggestions and comments. Although I already have some stuff in my mine, they only apply to action well I can put romance in it but I don't think it's gonna be good. I'll try my best. I'll even ask help from my romance counselor cutiemikan and crimsonchidori. Please review. Thank you Dark twinkling star, krazytacogirl and jimu for being the only ones who review constantly.)
