Chapter Ten

Irrelevant!

Naruto nodded and his ANBU team-mates ran very quietly through the hallways with kunai in hand, prepared for was going to happen in any second from now.

Finally, after walking without direction after the three first assaults, they spotted guards charging at them and the action continued. Metallic sounds accompanied the stiffened screams of sound shinobis losing the battle, when the torches were trembling, playing with the shadows of the figures in agitation; blood stained the rustic floor, fabric and skin…

"Neji, the place is clear. Move your asses"

"We're at 500 metres"

"Got it"

The transmission went off, and the team 2 prepared their selves to received their others team-mates. Shino sent a flying insect to finish the map of the rest of the place; minutes later, it came back.

"Naruto, at 1350 metres to the east following this hallway, there's a main room." Shino pointed out a direction.

"Sakura?" Uzumaki asked with a serious look.

"That's possible. There're must be like 20 guards inside. The sannin could be there too"

"That bastard is going to pay everything" Naruto cracked his fingers and smiled confidently, punching the palm of his other hand.

"Dobe, let's go" A husky voice demanded.

"Sasuke… Neji, Saku-chan, you're all here" Naruto smiled, "It was time. Let's the party started!"

Neji smirked and Sasuke shook his head with a smirk as well.

"What else?" Kagura asked with boredom filling her voice, with one of her eyebrows twitching slightly.

"…Then I went to the Yamanaka's flower shop… there I found… something strange…"

"What was that, Sakura?"

Sakura watching the infinite frowned, "…Ino was making the manicure to my sister's boyfriend…"

Kagura sighed desperately and rubbed her face with both of her hands.

"Kagura" A slippery voice called.

"Orochimaru-sama, I know I can---"

"Then do it quickly, I'm tired of this, or else you know what will happen" The Sannin narrowed his snake-like eyes playing with a lock of his long black hair.

"H-Hai…" Kagura faced once again the Konoha's cherry blossom to continue with the inquiry. "Sakura, for the tenth time" Kagura took a deep breath "There's something, really, really important of that day?"

"Hai…"

"Tell me" Kagura rushed Sakura gesturing with her hand.

"…I ate tempura and ramen, and drink some sake I stole from the Hokage in her absence---"

"Uh? No, no, Sakura, I meant IMPORTANT things, events---"

"…then I deliberated bumped into the hot Uchiha Sasuke and told them the truth of his persona, after that an important fact happened…" The pink haired ANBU trailed off.

"Eh? And what was that, what?" The Sannin's apprentice stood up abruptly from her chair sweating hard. Maybe a clue of whom of the Sakura's she is… finally!

"…Naruto, Hinata, Kiba, Tenten and Neji invite me for lunch---"

"Uh? Aaargh!" Kagura fell on her knees cursing her bad luck and the pink headed in front of her.

Orochimaru laughed bitterly nonetheless because of the stupidity of such a situation, his apprentice, he thought, was one of a kind, one of the unbelievable idiotic kinds.

Kagura cleared her throat and directed her dumbstruck gaze to her master looking for support. "Orochimaru-sama---"

"Kagura, dear…" He seethed. "I've been good with you in every way and this how you pay me back? Ku ku ku ku ku…" Orochimaru stood up and motioned to Kabuto to help him.

"Now, now" Pushing Kagura violently out of his sight, the man sat down in the chair where the girl had sat minutes ago, but this time the chair were closer to the Haruno than before, always helped by his loyal shinobi.

"Sakura" The slippery voice sounded.

"…yes?" Sakura looked distracted.

"Who's better in bed, Uchiha Sasuke or Hyuuga Neji?"

"Orochimaru-sama, what's that question for, if I may ask" Kabuto whispered.

"Ku, ku, ku, I had known that the Sakura I need was having a relationship with my beloved Sasuke-kun" Orochimaru said playing with a pink lock. "So Sakura, who is?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"It's here" Neji stated deactivated his Byakugan.

"Hey, I can hear voices" Ino whispered, and the rest except for the Nara, the Uchiha and the Hyuuga, got near the door trying to listen something.

"Sakura"

"…yes?"

"That's Sakura-chan!" Naruto whispered aloud, even when whispers are not suppose to be that way...

"Shut up dobe!" The Takeuchi demanded.

"Who's better in bed, Uchiha Sasuke or Hyuuga Neji?"

The young ANBU members stood freeze in their spot, and slowly every pair of eyes fell on the two shinobis who in appearance were as cool as always when in their interior were scandalized.

"…both of them…" Sakura answered.

Saku-chan coughed at the sound of her sister's answer before glaring back to everyone.

"Come on ladies" She cracked her fingers and smirked, "in there are some butts to kick and some necks to break"

The rest smiled confidently and after nodding, everyone took their places to begin what was going to end right there.

"GATSUUGA!" Kiba screamed after some hand seals.

And the enormous door in seconds was a pile of rubble.

"Tsunade-sama!" A running Shizune made an entrance in the Hokage's office panting.

Tsunade, who was reading some reports and old files spun around her chair to find her worried assistance—and medic kunoichi with a scroll in hand.

"If it's another debt put it the---" The Fifth pointed a huge box full of scrolls when Shizune interrupted her.

"It's a message from the ANBU special team you sent!"

Tsunade shifted in her chair and stared intently at the kunoichi.

Shizune took a deep breath and read:

"We were discovered and they took Haruno. We have a plan to kill Orochimaru and to rescue our team-mate. We are enough; don't send reinforcement of any kind."

The Hokage interlaced her long fingers and sighed exasperated, "Well, they always get some trouble wherever they go," The Godaime stood up and looked through the window, "If they don't want reinforcement, they won't have it"

"But Tsunade-sama..."

"No Shizune, they're adults... kind of irresponsible at times but they are..." She turned around and smiled, "don't worry too much", she said trying to sound convinced of her own words.

"...hai" The medic-nin sighed kind of relieved, and accompanied the Hokage placing herself next to her.

"Tsunade-sama?" The black haired never took off her eyes from the window.

"Hmm?" The Godaime either.

"That box--"

"Not now Shizune, not now" The blonde woman coughed and shook her hand carelessly.

Shizune sighed and dropped her shoulders. And she's suppose to be the responsible adult...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Orochimaru laughed amused. Even if he knew that that was total impossible--since he knew that Sasuke was too closed in himself to try such a thing like a threesome-- couldn't avoid the surprise of the guts of this girl to tell him a supposedly true answer.

The Sannin smirked at Sakura who was still in a daze, definitely she was under that jutsu... But his snake senses told him that something was wrong.

"...Saku---"

Orochimaru was interrupted when out of the blue the door burst open revealing a group of ninjas.

The sound-nins that were guarding inside the room, surround the leaf ninjas taking their weapons in a threatening way, and Kabuto ran to the side of his master, taking one of his arms protectively when this one almost stumbled down from the chair at the suddenly event.

"Hello bastard" Saku-chan glared at the snake-like man.

Orochimaru pushed a lock of his long tresses behind one of his pale ears, "The other Sakura, what a surprise. Coming here to save your sister I presume?"

The Takeuchi frowned, "Give her back"

"Patience, dear Sakura..." The sannin freed himself from Kabuto and walked near the pink haired girl in the floor, and kneeling down started caressing her pale cheeks when Haruno Sakura slapped his hand away. Orochimaru smiled slyly, when the said girl stood up and ran across the room next to her twin sister.

"It was time" Sakura looked at his friends and they nodded.

"...now that we're all together like a big family," Orochimaru continued, "would you mind to tell me, who is the Sakura that I want? I'm sick of stupid games..." saying the last statement narrowing his dreadful eyes to his current apprentice.

"Haven't guess yet?" Saku-chan smirked, and look at her human reflection next to her, and with a slight nod from her sister, she continued, "I'm the one you want"

Orochimaru chuckled. "Kill the rest, I will deal personally with this one" he demanded, and with that the guards and his loyal right hand Kabuto, started the last confrontation with the leaf ninjas.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Sakura sent some kicks to a big man with a scar next to his right eye, she winced at the horror of that wasn't the only scar on his ugly face. The sound-nin grabbed her ankle with ease and at this the pink haired turned around in a smooth movement kicking harshly on his head making him spit blood from his mouth.

Sakura smirked. A tough guy, huh?

The ninja jumped backwards and took from one of his pocket a web of chakra threads, and making hand seals while stretching the threads tight, formed a large glowing blue web from big stalactite-like of some blue material came out.

The ugly ninja twisted the line that had for mouth like trying to smile.

"Sakura!" Sakura look over her shoulder and saw Neji throw her pouch of weapons and her pair of black gloves. Sakura nodded and caught them putting the pouch in her right thigh and wearing her oh so beloved gloves.

Haruno Sakura concentrated chakra in both of her hands, and ran into her opponent with a playful smirk on her face.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

In another corner Naruto was taking care---like playing with new toys--- of two sound ninjas apparently brothers with a kind of special jutsus that they could perform together.

Naruto didn't buy it a bit, they think they can beat me with that? Ha! Bastards! I'll show you!

The blonde jumped over their heads anticipating the attack and making appear two clones, the three together tried to hit them with a new round of kunais flying to their heads, but they jumped off and after performing another jutsu, the two brothers got transform into a gigantic half man and half animal with the double of the force they had before.

Naruto blinked. "Man that the best you could do?!" He shouted as always, when he charged again with more clones, everyone with a renewed Rasengan in their hands.

Jeez, Naruto was having fun.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Ino, Shikamaru and Chouji not far away, were charging at five nins in a row. When Shikamaru was having their shadows attached at his own, Ino was getting into the minds of everyone confusing their targets and Chouji was doubling the size of his arms to hit them at full force.

But suddenly, one of them escaped of the Yamanaka's control, leaving an exhausted Ino behind provoking that the others could realise from the jutsu as well.

"Ino!" Shikamaru ran to her side when she almost faint.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

A metre behind them, Lee was knocking out what seems to be the lowest rank of a ninjas he had ever fight with. There he was proud to show them his Lotus and improved taijutsu, when them at the attempt of stop him with flying shurikens noticed the Green Beast of Konoha's combo of kicks and punches.

One of them escaped from his attack and started to form hand seals of a sound ninjutsu. The sound nin took some air in his lungs and when he freed it, a supersonic scream came out of him, making half of the people in the room cover their ears, few of them Konoha shinobis. The ninja smirked in satisfaction but it faded at the second he noticed a punch getting closer to his face at high speed, What the---!

Lee sent punches and kicks with a regain force and a youthful smile of his and after a powerful kick, he sent flying the ninja to the next wall, who was shaking of the surprise his sound attack didn't affect Rock Lee.

"H-how co-could y-you...!"

"Oh! You see, so many youthful years with Naruto-kun over there had almost make me deaf!" Lee said cheerfully to the dumbfounded ninja, pointing out at the blonde with spiky hair fighting.

The sound ninja passed out just then.

That's when Lee noticed some others he was fighting before taking advantage of the poor Ino in exhaustion to attack at Shikamaru and Chouji who was now taking the second especial pill of the Akimichi clan.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Tenten and Shino were having the situation under control with an amount of flying weapons of the kunoichi and with the huge mass of the Aburame's insects, that were surrounding the ninjas they were fighting.

Tenten jumped high, twirling around a scroll in the air summoning more weapons when a tall sound ninja with a patch in his left eye, applied chakra in a bunch of shurikens cutting with them the kunoichi's scroll in pieces.

The weapons mistress sent a death glare, my best scroll..., "You're going to pay this!"

She ran to his opponent with a impressive speed and dodged almost with success the flying objects, one of them got stuck deep in her right arm sending a tremble to her spine, What is this...?

The sound ninja smirked confidently, "You will die soon"

"Poison... damn you!" Tenten charged again when her arm dropped down to her side miserably and felt that her legs were failing too... She staggered to the ground with wide eyes, her limbs couldn't move, the poison effects were too fast for her to do something. Tenten glared behind her ANBU mask to the approaching.

"Before you die I want to play a little...how do you look like without that mask?..." The sound-nin licked his lips.

Since Shino was too busy to give her a hand---who in fact noticed that her ANBU team-mate was in hardships, the weapon mistress tried to concentrate the chakra she had left in the arm that didn't have the numbness feeling yet...

Tenten felt disgusted at the proximity of the man, and without a second thought she took out from a pocket a smoke bomb gaining little time to scape crawling with her mask hanging on her neck.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"DIE!"

Sasuke's emotionless façade transformed into a smirk when the sound-nin approached him in the high speed this could presume with a twisted expression.

I can see you. The raven haired young man activated his kekkai genkai and charged with his katana to the enemy anticipating his every movements. The sound-nin took out a big piece of blade from his back and with his agility, jumped forward the Uchiha to have a close combat.

The raven haired got serious at the sight of the other's goal, and flowing the electricity of his Chidori on his katana, swung it with a swift move slicing some of the ninja's skin in the process and sending him above hitting the roof with a thud.

The sound-nin's scream filled the enormous stone room, and with his face contorted in horror and pain, charged blindly to the Sharingan user. Sasuke pitied him and his low category as a sound ninja, seems that since the last time they fought Orochimaru, his good reinforcement was totally wiped out that time, that only left the mediocrity of that hidden village.

Die. Sasuke wielded again with his katana, stabbing with it at the stomach of the said ninja. The body of the sound-nin shed it's blood to the ground forming a dark red pool, leaving behind just an ANBU member walking away, glaring his former master.

Orochimaru

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Hey sexy!" Saku-chan called the chocolate haired shinobi her way, pointing to the ground.

Neji irritated, lifted a brow at the girl, "I'm busy"

"For my sister?" The Takeuchi pleaded.

Pitiful. The Hyuuga never leaving his guard down at the grey haired medic-nin, looked over the ground with his Byakugan activated stopping in a spot, "There"

"Charity, Hyuuga-san?" Kabuto tried to hit one of the principals nerves of the prodigy with his hand impregnated of green chakra.

"Hn", Neji smirked and protected his neck with some Hakkeshou movements.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"You're strength is not enough, Sakura-chan?" Orochimaru's slippery voiced sounded in question.

"Judge for yourself"

Saku-chan concentrated a big amount of chakra in her fists and hit the ground with the inhuman strength she shared with her sister in the spot Neji signalled before, making flow with a lot of pressure a column of subterranean water that was trapped under it.

The Takeuchi started to do some hand seals slowly, concentrating her chakra in her next move.

Orochimaru narrowed his horrible eyes to the girl and gave her a wicked smile, "Hmm, lovely, lovely girl, I love when girls concentrate...", he licked his upper lip, "...just don't forget I want to play too"

The old Sannin bit his pale thumb, and taking his left arm, pronounced the summon ninjutsu.

"Time to play, Manda", Orochimaru caressed the cold skin of the giant anaconda that was rolled up in his arm; it seethed playfully with lust of blood in its eyes.

"Suiton Suiryuudan no Jutsu" Saku-chan whispered out loud. (A/N: Water Dragon Blast Technique)

The column of water formed a big whirlpool around the pink haired girl, swaying her short hair all around, Great, now my hair is all messed up...

Our pink haired kunoichi look determinate to the Sannin in front of her and when a slyly smirk appeared in her peachy face, the whirlpool took the form of a big water dragon.

"My, my, Manda look what we have here" Orochimaru chuckled amused, "...one of the four techniques I will receive for the holidays eves"

"Want them? Then bite me" Saku-chan stretched her arms to the his direction, and the enormous dragon rushed at Orochimaru in a direct attack.

"As you wish. Manda" The tired old man in a perfect calm sent his anaconda.

The impact of the two forces shook the place, and the rest of the people in fighting stances looked in awe the big fight they had ever presence just starting.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Yakushi Kabuto fell to the ground panting hard with a hand gripping on his chest. Damn

"The ninety nine percent of your chakra holes are sealed. You barely can move, breath and even your heart is suffering the pressure of the non-flow of your chakra... as a medic you should know better" Neji approached him with his poker face.

Kabuto winced when failed to stand on his feet, "...yes, my heart is... aching and maybe its going to explode pretty soon...", he spat blood on the floor and wiped it from his mouth with his free arm, "... seems Hyuuga-san... that you have learn a lot with Sakura-san... It's a shame that Orochimaru-sama is... is going to kill her when takes her sister's body...", he chuckled heartlessly.

"You would never know"

The right hand of the satan's snake widen his eyes in fear and gave a fake smile and shrugged.

Neji used for the last time his sixty four hands of Hakke with the sound ninja, finishing with his life.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Sasuke-teme!"

"Who's left dobe?" The raven haired young man asked.

"Apparently only the snake bastard but---" Naruto answered.

"But what?" Sasuke groaned impatient looking everywhere in the big stone room.

"More of the snake fellows are coming and are not from sound but mist... and we're not in a good position right now..." The blonde said serious.

"Shit", Sasuke passed his fingers through his spiky hair, "Who are able?"

"In my team only Shikamaru, Lee and Shino could handle some more, in yours seems only---"

A pierce scream filled the room cutting Naruto's report, the Uchiha's and Uzumaki's eyes got wide open at the sudden situation.

Orochimaru used the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu on himself and on the anaconda, sending one of his selves to fight with the leaf kunoichi, Haruno Sakura, when in the middle of the battle Manda bit Sakura's leg.

"Sakura!" Neji screamed and ran.

Sakura glared at Orochimaru, yelping at the time Manda bit with more intensity her leg stained in fresh blood.

"Oh, are we worry Hyuuga-san?" The sannin laughed cynically.

Green eyes shone in fury, "Get away Neji!"

Neji stopped abruptly taking aback because of Sakura's words.

"NEJI!" Naruto called him out and pointed out the mass of ninjas that were coming from the outside of the room, the white gaze of the ANBU captain met with his pink haired team-mate in the ground, and with a nod he ran away to the entry to stop the out of hand situation. I trust in you Sakura. Don't die or you'll pay for that.

"Oh, you just have touch my heart, ku, ku, ku, ku..." The old sannin stifled his maniacal laugh.

"Bastard, you don't have a heart"

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

A few metres away from her sister, Saku-chan was fighting with her suiton jutsu with one of the Orochimaru's and his pet.

She was in a bad condition, she was for little running out of her precious chakra, and Orochimaru was only playing with her sending Manda to attack her biting her limbs when it was possible.

The Takeuchi started to pant heavily and looked that her arms were too harmed to continue with the routine of sending her dragon all the way to hit--or try to hit the Orochi-bastard as she likes to call sometimes.

She looked at her sister in distress and whistled to call her attention. This is our last opportunity.

Sakura spotted her sister at her right and lifted one abraded brow, "Saku-chan I'm busy here"

Saku-chan rolled her eyes, and dodged again one of the attacks of the giant anaconda.

"It's time for 'The fifth element'!!" The Takeuchi jumped to her left and sent the whirlpool in a full force to attack Orochimaru, making him to stepped backwards.

Sakura looked at the fight instance her sister formed: the two Orochimaru's were almost back to back. She smirked. It's the end.

The pink haired sisters hit the ground with their inhuman strength at the same time, and planting their hands on it at the stupefaction of the sannin, they screamed:

"DOTON KEKKAI DOROUTOUMU!" (A/N: Earth type: Destruction Mud Prison Technique)

A dome of pure dirt and rocks started to formed in a quick pace around the Orochimaru's, making Manda to loosen totally the grip on Sakura's leg.

"Ha! And you think that you, insignificant things can beat me?" Orochimaru laughed, "You think that with a Jiroubou's technique is enough?"

The Sakura's looked at each other and smirked.

"That's not all Orochi-bastard!"

This time the leaf kunoichi performed the suiton jutsu of the water dragon in her spot, since she was at one side of the dome, and the Takeuchi made some hand seals on the other side.

"Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" (A/N: Flame type: Powerful Fireball Technique)

At the side of the dome, where Saku-chan was, a hole of four centimetres of diametre was formed in the dirt, and taking the half of her left chakra on her chest she blew it in there sending the fireball to the inside, where Orochimaru was.

"Hokage-sama, we have the report of the Snow"

The blonde woman with her interlaced fingers, glared at the shinobi, "Kotetsu, what's the situation?"

"They have too much downs to take care the the mist ninjas that were sent as the sound's back-up"

Tsunade stood up and hit her desk with her hands with little force, just for don't break it, "Meaning they do need reinforcement, don't they?... those kids..." Tsunade said under her breathe the last words.

"Hai" Kotetsu stood there straight before the Godaime presence.

"Send what they need" Tsunade demanded.

Kotetsu nodded and started to leave, when the Godaime spoke again, "Kotetsu, no word to Shizune or you'll pay with your life. Dismissed."

The leaf shinobi nodded again and left the Hokage's office i a 'poof'', understanding that his way out through the door could raise some suspicions.

Tsunade heave a sigh and turned around to look through the window, You'd better come back safe... or Hyuuga and Uchiha will pay for that... I have some ideas..., the Fifth chuckled evilly forgetting for little time her preoccupation... and the future preoccupation of Shizune when she finds out that she sent the reinforcement. She wasn't her former apprentice for nothing. The blonde sighed and dropped her shoulders, See you soon... dear Sake...

She sighed again.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Oi Sasuke!" Naruto sent a wave of flying kunais to his opponents.

"What?" Sasuke didn't look around where the blonde was, and continued swinging his katana to his adversaries.

"Didn't know you tough Saku-chan that fire jutsu!"

"What the hell are you---" A mist ninja caught him off guard and cut his inferior limbs with pieces of pointed ice, making him to fell on the ground supporting himself with his katana stained in blood.

"TEME!"

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Orochimaru was laughing in his insane way inside the dirt and rock dome the pink hared girls had formed. The fire was burning the insides, like a eternal flame because of the little hole that it had. The air could get inside to provoke the intensity of the fire.

"Come on Sakura, it's time for the finale" The Takeuchi smiled to her sister.

"Right!" The Haruno smiled back.

"YOU CAN'T BEAT ME!" The sannin continued laughing.

The Sakura's nodded and started to make hand seals in full concentration at the sides of the dome.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu", and the leaf kunoichi formed a clone of herself and the water dragon, that whirling around her.

"Kekaze", the snow kunoichi said, and the wind started to blow in a spectacular speed all around. (A/N: Blade of Wind)

The two girls looked at each other and nodded. It's time.

And stretching both of her hands, the water dragons started to whirl around the dome and the wind went inside the dome.

"Nothing can stop the blade of wind" Saku-chan whispered.

A horror scream.

A burning smell.

A sinister laugh.

The walls of the dome started to poor blood between the dirt and rocks that it was made of.

The pink haired girls passed out falling on the floor pale as paper. It's over.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Naruto! We have reinforcements!" Shikamaru yelled to the blonde in a difficult situation.

The blonde look at the aisle and saw men with leaf hitai-ate on their forehead and smirked confidently.

"LET'S CLEAN THIS UP!" Signalling the mist ninjas, Naruto charged again with the last of his energy.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Damn it" Neji whispered. He had already finished with an horde of mist ninjas, when one of their kunais got stuck in the spot he was too careful to protect with his Hakkeshou. But if that was the only problem, Neji surely wouldn't have the necessity to curse.

Neji almost lose his right arm in the middle of the battle, when this stupid ninja wielded a big fire blade on him, and his legs almost suffered the same if not that Shikamaru attached his shadow on this one to stop the impact a while.

The Hyuuga prodigy went inside the big stone room with difficulty as his team-mates did the same because the reinforcerment he said they didn't need was taking the full control.

His eyes widen in worry at the sight and ran off as fast his legs could took him.

Sasuke was there taking the head of the Takeuchi on his lap and her sisters hand.

A tear rolled up his expressionless face.

"SAKURA!"

Neji fell on the ground next to Sakura and hugged her.

"Don't... don't die... I trusted in you!" The Hyuuga prodigy growled and glared at the agonizing pink head in his arms.

"Sakura don't... I... I love you..." Neji cried feeling himself being ripped into pieces.

"I love you..."


A/N: Phew! That was the longest chapter I had ever write! I'm pretty sorry for the three months delay, but this chapter took more time that my schedule could take, and it was really difficult to write! I'm not good in fight scenes... Hope you like it as I did!

This one only have some droplets of humour, and little drama at the end. I almost cry!!!

Anyway, thanks a LOT to the ones who submitted reviews to this story, I love you all!

The next chapter could be last.

Stay alert!
