I must say, this is one of my favorite chapters. I'm not good at battle scenes, but, I really like how Tenshi takes care of her siblings and sacrifices…..oops! Can't tell ya ;)
Anyway, I hope that this battle isn't a total failure….as always, please be nice! Also, the jutsu that I use in this one is something I came up with. I don't know if there is such a kind, but I think it's kinda cool.
I don't own Naruto…..
Chap 8
Tenshi whirled around, eyes frantically sweeping the entire area, trying to find their attacker. She didn't see anyone.
"Nee-chan. I'm scared. What's gonna happen?" came Himeno's little voice. Tenshi returned her look to the two younger children. Kito was sobbing and Himeno looked like she wanted to.
Calm down Tenshi. She told herself, You need to protect them. She opened her eyes and smiled gently at them. "Don't cry now, it's all right."
Kito sniffed.
"I won't let anything happen to you guys." She murmured, rubbing their heads and kissing their teary faces.
She sensed another attack and dodged it, still holding her siblings close to her. A rock stabbed through her thigh. She didn't cry out.
"Are you done protecting them? Why do you even try? You're all going to die anyway." A man landed not too far away from the Inuzuka siblings.
Himeno's and Kito's eyes grew wide, Tenshi bent over to whisper, "Don't listen to him. I need you to listen to me."
Both nodded their heads.
"When I let you go, I need you to run back as fast as you can and tell Otou-chan and Okaa-san where I am. Can you do that for me?"
"B-but—" Himeno started.
"C'mon, don't you trust your onee-san? I'll be fine, don't worry, okay?" she smiled.
"Okay." Himeno said.
"Good girl." Tenshi ruffled her little sister's hair, "Take good care of Kito. I'm counting on you Himeno."
The little girl nodded and took Kito's hand.
Tenshi reached into her pack and pulled out five shuriken with paper bombs attached to them.
"Why aren't you moving?" the murderer taunted, walking towards them.
Tenshi ignored him. "When I throw these, run as fast as you can to Hikaru. Ready? GO!" she hurled the deadly weapons with all of her strength. They exploded in a cloud of dust. Himeno took off towards the hound and leaped onto Hikaru's back. Run Hikaru! RUN! Tenshi thought to her dog as the great animal took off.
Why is she stalling? Ryuu saw the blood staining her gray knee length shorts. She seemed to be saying something to the two children. Before he knew it, here were five rigged shuriken flying at him. He dodged them but, was blinded by the dust. He saw a white body take off at high speed and the girl watching them depart. He scoffed, Stupid. Quicker than a blink, he was behind the girl, seizing her long black hair in order to yank her off the ground and put a kunai to her throat all in one swift, undetectable, not to mention, deadly, movement. She was a small girl, so restricting her wasn't too difficult. "I have you trapped now." He said, "You can't go anywhere."
"Not exactly." She said and hooked her leg around his knee and twisted out of his grasp. She landed in a crouch on her bad leg. She flinched. Ryuu was stunned as she looked at him straight in his icy blue eyes. This is no ordinary girl. He thought. No one escaped his grasp, partially due to his paralysis jutsu, but this small girl…..
He recovered. I'll have to use IT. Usually, I don't resort to this at the beginning of a battle, but that look in her eyes tells me that she won't go down easily. He thought and made a rapid chin of signs, "Flaming Hold jutsu!" he shouted as fiery black cords shot from his fingertips. They wrapped the girl tightly against a tree. She struggled only for the fiery cords to tighten. Ryuu walked towards her and grabbed her chin, forcing her to lok up at him, "Before I kill you, tell me this: Why did you protect those two children and send them back on your only partner?"
Tenshi looked up into his eyes. They were as icy blue as his hair was fiery red. His eyes were emotionless. Hard. Cruel. Murdereous. He was relatively young, probably not even twenty yet, but his eyes were so hard that they sent shivers down her spine. Ryuu was getting impatient, "Well? Aren't you going to answer me?" the chain tightened, scorching her skin. She still looke at him, but, her eyes were not full of hatred, but kindness. It unnerved him.
"Before I answer that let me say something. If you kill me, what will you gain? I was just walking by and you attacked me. I never heard a word about anything, nor was I looking for anyone. I was just on my way home like any other girl would be." She continued. Ryuu's eyes remained emotionless. Tenshi went on, "As for your question, I protected those two because they're my precious family."
Something flashed in his eyes, only to disappear. Instantly, a kunai appeared at her throat. Ryuu bent down, his lips close to her ear. "And why would you do something stupid like that? What did they ever do for you? If you hadn't taken the time to make sure they were safe, you wouldn't be in this position." A bead of blood formed on her white neck. "I could kill you right now."
Tenshi replied serenely, "Family bonds are strange. I guess any kinds of bonds are. When you care about someone, you can do almost anything in order to protect them.
Ryuu was becoming more and more confused. He removed the kunai from her neck and put its point underneath her eye, "Like I said, I could kill you now without remorse." He lightly dragged it down to her chin. "But I won't—this time." With that, he knocked her unconscious and left.
