Chapter 9
The Spear Of Death
Kakashi's POV
With that I pulled up my mask and we ran to Byakuya. We saw short man; with long dark hair and a scar running down his cheek holding Byakuya by his throat.
He smirked and looked at Haruka.
"Hello Haruka, I've missed you." He said half laughing.
Haruka stood froozen; the only thing she could say was "Akira"
Akira laughed again and tightened his grip on Byakuya's neck; he yelled out in pain.
"Let him go" I said anger rising in my voice.
Akira only laughed again and Haruka still stood frozen.
I saw Byakuya with a struggle open his hand and create a flash of light. He then took his hand and rammed it into Akira's face; it most have been a hot light because he yelled out and dropped Byakuya; he then held his face. Byakuya hit the ground and immediately stood up; ready to fight.
I started thinking to myself; why is Akira here now? How did he get here and why is he attacking Byakuya. Has he come to kill Haruka? I wonder if he remembers me at all.
We all stood as Akira stood up holding his head. He looked at Byakuya.
"Looks like you haven't changed at all."
Byakuya formed a ball of light in both of his hands; the light continued to grow, Akira smirked. I finally heard Haruka start to speak.
"Akira-sama, you can't do this; leave Byakuya alone."
I felt proud of Haruka. She was finally standing up to Akira.
"He's in my way, and so are you from killing him"
To me most of the time Akira didn't make sense.
"But I have to keep you alive so you can watch him die, by my hand."
I dont think Byakuya agreed to that because he came up behind Akira and punched him with his "Light Fist"; Akira grabbed Byakuya by his hair and flipped him over. He landed on his back and Akira went to his kunai pouch. He pulled out a kunai and lowered himslef over Byakuya's face. Byakuya raised his hand again; surrounded by light.
This is where I darted toward them trying to stop Akira, only it didn't work too well. Akira raised the hand that he was holding the kunai with, dropped it and used a fire punch to send my flying. I landed on the ground smacking my head against a tree. I stood up pantng; he's tough. I looked at Akira his eyes were glazed over; I then looked at Haruka her eyes were glazed over too.
Akira picked up the kunai again; only this time Haruka stopped him by sending a fire ball at his face, Akira fell over from the force.
Both Byakuya and Akira stood up.
"Haruka, you've learmed a few things haven't you?" Akira had asked her. She didn't answer.
I walked over to Haruka and she looked at me.
Her eyes might have been glazed over but I could tell that she didn't want me to be a part of this; I think she wanted to fight Akira alone.
I softly whispered. "Haru-chan?"
"Kaka-kun, don't fight. Your face is burned and I think you injured your head. I can do this alone, I promise; plese stay back"
I was taken aback, she really wanted to fight this alone. If she did get hurt she better believe that I will step in.
"Okay, but if anything happens I'm stepping in."
She nodded. "Okay, thank you"
I walked back to the tree and leaned against it not sure what to expect.
I had to respect Haruka's wishes and step out of this fight.
Akira then laughed his evil laugh and looked at Haruka. "I'm not here to kill you yet, I only want Byakuya."
And with that he created a ball of fire in his hand and Byakuya did the same only with light.
Haruka didn't like that plan she reached into her kunai pouch and pulled out five knives. With fire surrounding her hand and her kunai she ran towards Akira throwing the flamed kunai. Akira caught them all and laughed.
Haruka's POV
'Oh no, that wasn't supposed to happen.' I thought to myself. I stood frozen, I didn't know what to do. This all felt too familiar.
Begin Flashback.
Haruka was running, running far into the forest.
"RUN! RUN! RUN HARUKA! RUN FASTER!"
She could hear Byakuya's voice around her, she just got into a fight with Akira and Byakuya was helping her run away.
Byakuya came up next to her. "Haru-chan we have to move faster"
Haruka froze and her heart stopped, so did Byakuya's. There in front of them was Akira.
"Now, now you can't leave, it's only been 10 years you haven't learned enough." (A/N in this flash back Haruka is 16, Byakuya is 17, Akira is 25 and Hisa would be 15)
Haruka's breath stopped. She feared this man, she truly feared this man.
Haruka had to pull herself together, she reached her hand into kunai pouched and threw 5 kunai at Akira.
Akira laughed and caught them all.
He then formed a fire fist and punched Haruka in the face sending her flying back against a tree, she closed her eyes.
End Flashback
I felt something hot hit my head and I landed on the ground.
Some one called my name, I think it was Kakashi.
I opened my eyes, I found myself on the ground. I'm not sure what happened. Akira must have done some kind of fire jutsu because I looked down to see my legs burned, and I couldn't move them.
I looked over at Akira and Byakuya. They were throwing both light and fire, punches, kicks, jutsus and weapons at eachother. Byakuya has grown from the ninja he use to be.
I then saw Akira create a spear out of fire and grab Byakuya by the throat.
I reached out my arm and my hand. "Byakuya! No!"
Akira took the fire spear and thrust it through Byakuya's heart. Byakuya screamed and his body fell out to the ground. Akira had completely destroyed his heart, I could feel mine breaking he just killed my bestfriend.
"BYAKUYA! NO! DON'T GO!" I cried reaching my hand out gripping helplessly to the ground. My nails dug into the ground and tears poured down my cheeks.
Byakuya was dead.
Akira disappeared...Again.
I.
Will.
Kill.
Him.
I felt my heart stop, my eyes close tightly and my breathing stopped. I couldn't move. I couldn't stop Akira and now Byakuya was dead because of me. I opened my eyes and saw his lifeless body lay still on the ground. My breath came it small gasps and my heart started to pound lightly. I lost him. Byakuya.
I layed on the ground unable to move tears still coming from my eyes and my hand was still dug into the earth.
I felt two arms come from underneath me and pick me up; it was Kakashi. He looked so sad and turned his head from me.
"I'm so sorry Haru-chan" He kept his head turned and walked me over to Byakuya.
Start Flashback
"Akira leave now!" Haruka could hear Byakuya's voice as she opened her eyes and saw Akira and Byakuya before them.
Byakuya started to create a light spear in his hands.
"Is that all you've got?" Akira said laughingly.
As Akira turned his head to look at Haruka, he felt a sharp pain surge through his stomach. Byakuya had stabbed him with the light spear.
Akira gagged and pulled the sharp weapon out of his stomach. Holding his wound and coughing blood, Akira fled back into the forest.
Byakuya walked over to Haruka, wrapped two arms around her and picked her up.
End Flashback
We both stood over Byakuya's body, he sat me down and I poured my tears out.
To Be Continued...
A/N
School's finally out so I found some time to really work hard on this chapter, so I hope you liked it.
Aw, poor Byakuya's dead.
