The Loss and Gain of Scarlet Kotare by Keyblade King 12 and Card Captor Fiona
Scarlet was hyperventilating. Sasuke was about to enter the forest of death, and Orochimaru was probably hiding in the shadows, somewhere around here. Scarlet strained her ears to Anko's voice. "3...2...1...Begin!" The gates were being opened, genin being allowed to enter their doom, and death.
"I never should have let this go on…" Scarlet muttered, feeling that terrified, was an understatement.
Yue came over to the girl, and ran his hands through her hair. "It's okay Scarlet. He has us to protect him, Orochimaru won't know what hit him" Scarlet nodded, although she was still unsure. "Scarlet, we'd better go." Kero said, very much aware of the event, which will soon take place. "Right." Scarlet tried to look confident, but managed an ugly grimace. "Dash, lend me your power." Dash appeared and, in an instant, was inside Scarlet's chest. She, Yue and Kero jumped from tree to tree at great speed, and Scarlet made a promise to herself; 'If Sasuke does fall, I'll never let him go'.
(with team 7)"You can't be Naruto." Sasuke said angrily to a confused looking Naruto. "What the heck are you talking about? I just gave you the password!" "Exactly." Sasuke said, calmly. "The real Naruto wouldn't be able to remember a password, with more than 3 letters."
"too true Sasuke" he heard a voice say, he smirked `right on time Scarlet`
Scarlet jumped down from a tree holding her Sword, she pointed it towards the impostor. "That's enough, Orochimaru." she said coldly
Yue flew down, behind the fake Naruto. "Just come quietly." he said harshly
Kero took the right side, Scarlet having the left. Sasuke and Sakura taking the front. The fake Naruto could see he was surrounded, by a group of proctors and genin, but instead of looking at all scared. He was smiling. "He, He, He. And I had a second disguise worked out too" he looked over to the guardians and then
his snake like eyes peered over to Scarlet "So this is the Card Captor eh?…very interesting." he said as he licked his lips.
"Friend!" Scarlet corrected, sounding as angry as Sakura's inner self. The fake Naruto laughed again. "Friend?! That's a joke!" The fake Naruto shook his head.
"Just get out of that costume, and come with us." The fake Naruto sighed and transformed into a grass ninja and then into the old man, Scarlet had grown to hate. He stared at Sasuke, hungrily. "Well, it seems I'll have to deal with some unexpected surprises, before you Sasuke." he hissed
Those words set Scarlet off, the female Cardcaptor launched herself in the air, getting out Fiery, with her free hand and fusing it, with her chakra. "Fire style: Sacred Blaze storm Jutsu!"
Scarlet blew out golden flames, and at the same time slashed down with Sword. Orochimaru chuckled at the attempt to kill him. Scarlet's attacks destroyed a clone, made out of snakes. The real Orochimaru came out from above Scarlet, his own sword, in hand (which had grossly come out from his mouth). Yue knocked Orochimaru away, using his sharp feathers, but regained his ground and landed beside Scarlet. A sword to sword battle broke out between the two. A few minutes later and the seemingly endless battle was, obviously, not over. "Uh guys… can you help me… please." Yue set a barrage of arrows. Kero roared out a small ball of fire. And Sasuke did the exactly same thing, Sakura flung kunai and shuriken, close and personal, even Orochimaru couldn't dodge five attacks, at once. The snake sannin was burnt by Sasuke's fire ball and was cut by Scarlet's sword.
"Ahhh!" Orochimaru looked surprised, but quickly recovered. "It seems, all of you together, might actually be a match for me." Orochimaru made several complex hand signs. Yue's eyes widened. "Scarlet!" Yue used his own body, as a shield, to protect Scarlet from the balls of light, which were covering everybody, except for Sasuke. Scarlet caught Yue's body, which fell into her arms. After she had laid her saviour down, she jumped out to Sasuke's side, whose Sharingan was active.
"They're under a genjutsu!" He said looking at all the unconscious bodies. "Sasuke run!" Scarlet's eyes of fire, were still locked onto Orochimaru's every movement. "He'll kill you Scarlet!" Sasuke yelled
The girl shook her head. "Maybe. But I doubt it. He only wants you, or your eyes at least." Orochimaru gave Scarlet a look of surprise. "You've probably heard all about my plans, from those Clow cards." Scarlet's face gave nothing away, even though she was very glad that Orochimaru had made the wrong assumption. Sasuke gave Scarlet a look of regret, but made a run for it. "NO!" The words had been by Scarlet. Snakes, which had been shot out of Orochimaru's hand, now constricted her, enabling her movement. One snake launched out of Orochimaru's hand and wrapped around Sasuke's legs, making him trip up, and the ground knocked himself unconscious. Orochimaru's neck turned elastic and his head launched to Sasuke's shoulder, his teeth getting closer and closer until… "NO!!!" Scarlet's scream erupted out of her body, being heard by everyone in the forest of death. `Sasuke!… RIGHT THAT'S IT YOUR DEAD YOU FUKIN SNAKE!`
"Fiery! Windy! Fly! Lend me your power release and dispel " she screamed
Both of the elemental Clow cards and Fly appeared out of their card forms and all three of them went into Scarlet's body. That's what did it. Scarlet's body began to change until she resembled Fiery, Fly's great wings looking golden, amongst the flames, which were radiating off Scarlet. Two long arms, which could grow and take any shape they wanted. "Ultimate Fire style: Solar Explosion Jutsu!" Scarlet's skin looked like it was made out of lava and then suddenly a huge blaze of fire erupted, from Scarlet's body, destroying everything except her friends.
A scream of pain came from Orochimaru. All of his snakes had died, instantly. And the man himself was badly burnt a lot of his clothing charred. "It seems you may be a harder threat to deal with, than I first thought. I'll need to re-think my tactics. And this is for you." Orochimaru threw a heaven scroll, obviously for Kakashi's team. Orochimaru disappeared, in a puff of smoke. Scarlet heard the groans of her awakening friends… and Sakura. The Cardcaptor gazed at the curse mark, which was imprinted into Sasuke's skin, The thing she had tried so hard to protect Sasuke from. A single tear fell from Scarlet's face, she took his hand and squeezed it as he groaned in pain . "I'm sorry Sasuke…" Scarlet collapsed next to him still holding his hand
( 3 days later)"No!" Scarlet sat right up in her hospital bed screaming. Yue was by her side in an instant he held her close to him and stroked her hair "Scarlet calm down it's alright" he said softly, she eventually calmed down and pulled away from him.
"I'm fine. But how's Sasuke?" Yue looked a little nervous and called in Kero. The two explained that Sasuke was already up. "What?! Is he okay?!" she said quickly
"Well…" Yue started. "He took on the first level of the curse mark while you were out. Then he went on a rampage… don't worry, no one got hurt." Yue replied, to the look of worry on Scarlet's face. "It was weird. He went into the battle arena, but when he looked into that Garra's eyes, and then bang; he was normal.""Garra did that?!" Scarlet asked, confused, who got a nod, from Kero. "Weird." Scarlet repeated. "Well, after that- the preliminaries started. Sasuke vs. Yoroi. Sasuke won and now Kakashi is trying to seal his curse mark.
Scarlet jumped up, and ran out of the room, using Dash to help her. Dust and floor chips were all that was left of her.
"Lightning blade!" Orochimaru caught Kakashi's attack, in his fist. He threw the silver haired ninja away, and crept to his immobilised target. "Now, let's get this sealing stopped.""Stay away from him!" Scarlet yelled, Orochimaru looked at the very angry girl before him she held her golden sword firmly, he smirked "oh ho so your back you little pest, I guess I could kill you as well" he hissed he lunged towards her. With all the speed of Dash, Scarlet plunged Sword into Orochimaru, who exploded into snakes `a clone!`
(Ino and Sakura's match)
"I need your help." Sakura whispered to Ino, between punches. Ino and Sakura were supposed to be battling, but were instead devising a 'get Sasuke' strategy. "All you need to do, is make her use the summoning Jutsu, return to your own body, and because she hasn't made an animal pact- she'll be transported to another dimension. Then Sasuke is all ours."
"Fine I don't like that little witch anyway. But let's end this." Ino and Sakura turned to their coughing proctor and surrendered, at the same time.
Ino tiptoed into the tomb where Scarlet and Kakashi were, making sure that no one heard her. She positioned herself and then made a hand sign. "Mind transfer Jutsu!" Ino aimed a perfect mind transfer at Scarlet, who afterwards jumped away from Orochimaru. Ino made Scarlet cut her hand and perform a summoning Jutsu. "Summoning Jutsu! Ino returned to her own body, just in time to watch an explosion of light take Scarlet to a different universe. `that will do it` Ino thought
