Fatal Attraction Chapter 9: Insanity Rears It's Ugly Head
Thank you to my Beta Cowgirlkitten2000 and my magnificent readers!
:Recap:
She was going to claw that bitches face off and make her so hideous no man would want her. That would teach her to try to take her man. She would pay just like that other bitch Karin had.
:On with the story!:
oOo
Pushing through the crowd Sarada wondered what the hell was going on. She had awaken to find her mother gone and her old Ninja getup missing. Iniko, who trailed behind her suddenly stop. Raising her head towards the sky she took tentative sniffs of the gasped.
"Your mother and mine are together and I smell blood!"
Hearing the fear in her new friends voice, Sarada grabbed Iniko's hand and forcibly pushed her way through the crowd, ignoring the shouts people threw at her. After what felt like hours they managed to broke through the crowd.
"Kagome-Sama!" Iniko cried as she saw Sakura push her mistress off of her and both woman getting into battle stances. Recognizing the stance as the way of the Taijiya, Iniko knew Kagome would unleash some of her power on the girl.
Sarada froze as she took in the state her mother and Kagome were in. Her mom was covered in cuts and bruises. Her clothing was torn and her face was swelling up. Seeing the dark color of her mothers eyes, Sarada knew that what she was seeing, was that dark woman who she saw yesterday. What she was seeing was he mother's dark side and she feared it. She feared the damage her mother could cause and she feared for everyone's safety.
Kagome was better off, only having small scratches on her arms that were already healing and a few strands of hair out of place.
She noticed the damage around them. An apartment complex was missing a wall and there was a hole the size of a human in the wall of the dango shop. Food carts were thrown around and little trinkets were damaged.
"What should we do?" Iniko asked, her purple eyes never once leaving Kagome's form. The small girls body was tense. She was ready to jump in.
"I don't know." frustration was clear in Sarada's voice. What the hell was she suppose to do! This was her mother, the woman who gave birth to her, fighting a woman who she respected and admired but was her fathers mistress. Who did she defend! Yes Sakura was her mom, but she was clearly in the wrong but then again so was Kagome! She didn't know who to help.
Her mother tried to kick at Kagome but was rendered immobile by said woman as she grabbed her moms foot. Throwing her mother into another building Kagome suddenly had to turn sharply.
Silver kunai missed their marks as Kagome evaded each and everyone with lethal grace. This infuriated Sakura who's face was becoming darker and darker.
"Just die!" Sakura screamed as she shot forward. Chakra engulfed her moms hand and Sarada realized that not only was her mother using way more power then she used on her father but she was also applying Chakra to her legs to make herself faster.
With a rage filled cry Sakura charged. In bed before she could hit, Kagome jumped out of the way, twisting her body in the air to land harmlessly on the ground. With a start both girls realized that Sakura was heading right for them. Her green eyes wild and her hair messy. She looked like a crazed woman. Frozen in fear both girls closed their eyes and waited for the inevitable hit.
A gentle yet firm push to their sides sent the girls into a bunch of soft clothing material. A grunt had them open their eyes to see Kagome in front of them with Sakura's fist in her stomach. Kagome was hunched over, her eyes wide as she held the fist in her gut.
The force shocked Kagome as her eyes widened. That hurt. She did not expect so much power to be laced sighing that one punch. Normally she would never do such a stupid thing but seeing the fear painted on Iniko and Sarada's faces caused her to react without thought. She knew that a punch like that would have caused serious damage to the girls smaller bodies and that was something she would not let that happen.
Removing her fist Sakura smirked. "Take that." she said as she made to punch again.
A crazed smirked graced her lips as she charged her fist with what chakra she had left. This would make sure the bitch never bothered her again!
Quickly coming to her decision, Sarada pushed her legs to the maximum and she was not the only one. It seemed Iniko was already ready to move and both girl quickly ran ignoring the villagers who tried to stop them.
Standing in front of Kagome, Sarada held her arms out wide and shook her head no. Her eyes flashed as she stared up at her mother with a painfully familiar look. She looked so much like Sasuke at that moment as she stood against her mother, down to the frown she wore on her lips. Faintly, Sakura realized how much that bothered her.
Iniko kneeled down beside Kagome who had dropped to her knees. Noticing the blood trailing down her mouth the little panther panicked. "Momma! Are you okay! Please be okay! This is all my fault! What can I do!" she was on the verge of hyperventilating.
Giving a sharp laugh Kagome held her stomach. "I'm fine, Iniko. It's just a small wound." she reassured her as she used the sleeve of her white kimono to wipe the blood off her lips. Looking down at herself, Kagome silently sighed, she really liked this kimono too.
"Your have blood coming out of your mouth! That signifies internal bleeding."
"I'm fine." Kagome repeated as she allowed her powers to flow free and into her hand that now glowed pink with her Miko Ki.
Sakura glared down at her daughter. What the hell was Sarada thinking! "Move." She ordered, her teeth grinding together.
"No."
Hearing her normally obedient daughter defy her for the first time caused anger to well up within her. Where did she get off using that tone of voice with her! Since when had Sarada become so disobedient?
"Listen to your mom and move! I said to move Sarada!"
"And I told you no! This is crazy mom! You can't just attack her! What's gotten into you!" glaring up at her mother, Sarada stood her ground.
"So now your defending her! My own daughter is defending that witch!" stepping forward Sakura grabbed her daughters arm and threw her to the side making Sarada slam into a building. She ignored her daughters cry of pain as her head and side collided with the wall and instead began to advance on Kagome.
oOo
From the top of a roof Shikamaru watched with disdain as Sakura provoked Kagome. Seeing the punch Kagome gave her, he knew things would be heating up very soon. An explosion had him frown as Sakura's fist hit a building, making the wall crumble, that was an apartment building. He watched as both woman fought like animals and soon was forced to step in when he saw Sakura throw her daughter against a hard wall and advance on Kagome. Quickly forming hand signs he ordered his clone to make it's way towards the tower, knowing he needed backup to restrain those two power houses. Sakura, he knew he could take, but Kagome was a whole other story entirely.
"Shadow possession jutsu!" he called out as he jumped down.
Sakura froze as she became trapped. Using pure willpower she managed to turn her head and glare at Shikamaru. She tried to form words but couldn't find the power to do so.
Being in Sakura's mind was a startling thing. Shikamaru had not expected to see this inner Sakura. In a world of black and white he was forced to fight with this other being, this imaginary figure she had conjured in her mind. From the looks of things, this being has had years to grow. Seeing this thing made him realize just how unstable Sakura truly was and just what exactly she was hiding. All the times she laughed or talked to herself suddenly made sense!
This Inner Sakura was a parasite that was poisoning her mind. This figment of her imagination he suspected had been created by her, in her childhood. It had grown up with her and had become a part of her life.
"She took Sasuke from us."
"Sarada is on her side now."
"She's weak we can take her."
"Kill her!"
Why had no one noticed before? He then remembered a previous conversation he had with Ino. She had tried to described this to him one time. It was after the Chunnin exams. She told him how she encountered someone or something in Sakura's head, but he had been to lazy to listen to her. Damn he should have listened! Now here he was racing away from this thing, with no clue as to how it worked.
But to his relief backup arrived quickly. Releasing his Jutsu just as Inner Sakura tried to hurt him, Sakura once again tried to attack Kagome, but luckily Tsunade was with them.
The bystanders watched with anticipation, because as Anko would say, shit just got real.
oOo
Review please. Looks like Sakura is really going off the deep end! Can she be saved? Or will our pink haired friend dive off the deep end? Review! Review! Review! :) :)
oOo
