Yuki watched as Kakashi raced forward, attacking the man, with slashes and kicks, which were thrown away. Yuki's eyes watched the fight scene and searched for the real one. Her eyes caught a glimpse of someone weaving handseals to her right, but dandelion's immediately blocked her view.

He's using it to cover his movements and jutsus!

Yuki glanced at Kakashi watching him, slide back and duck another a kick.

Hang in ther-

She watched in horror as a kunai slipped past his guard, aiming for Kakashi's heart.

NO! Please make it in time!

She imagined herself switching positions with him, and threw a good amount of chakra into teleporting. She felt the world seem to suck her in and then a loud crack, announced she was successful. She blocked the knife, resisting with both hands. She trembled and tried hard to resist the urge to look into his ugly face. The knife wavered and then moved closer the tip touching skin. Digging her feet in, she threw everything she had into resisting.

"You're very young. I bet you could deepthroat my shaft like a good little girl, couldn't you?"

She started to sweat from exertion and searched for an exit, but was unable to think of one. If she tried to teleport, he would grab her before she could. She let out a gasp, as the knife broke skin, and started to go deeper.

"Still asleep? Let me wake you up!" he said, with a thrust that, she avoided by sidestepping. As her hair whipped right, she caught a glance of Anko racing in towards the man.

"Not enough experience to fight me...Sorry," he whispered.

A sharp agony ripped Yuki from her dream state, and into the real world. She hit the ground hard, mud in her face, and let out a loud scream in colors returned, with a strange red tint. The world tilted and swayed. She heard him laugh, and felt her stomach churn in anger. Anko's scent immediately overwhelmed her senses, and she was barely able to discern what was happening as hundreds of Naruto's immediately hid the fight from view. The pain was almost unbearable and she gasped in agony.

"Yuki! Yuki! Yuki! Hey! Look at me!" Fingers snapped in front of her face and she looked into the face of her mother. Through the haze, things started to take shape, and she could see clearly. Her right arm was bruised bad, and part of her humerus bone was sticking out from the skin. She glanced to Anko whose face was grim.

"It's broke in three places. We should get you back to Konoha. Naruto and Kakashi will follow afterwards."

"No."

"WH-WHAT? YOU'RE IN NO CONDI-"

"Please? Let me fight," she begged.

"But- the pain."

"The venom. Paralyze that area, and I can fight," she said in a matter of a fact tone. She watched the Jounin struggle with the decision before she made up her mind. Reaching into Yuki's backpack, Anko unstoppered the the vial. She trembled and Yuki could see this was difficult for her. And then the pain was completely gone. Yuki forced herself up, stumbling for a second, before walking forward.

My chakra is almost gone. He has the upper ground. As long as we are caught in his genjutsu, I won't be able to defeat him. Unless he reveals himself. But he's too skilled. Judging by how fast he reacts right now, he's not even tired. He fears nothing. Nothing, but some stup-

"Amaterasu," she whispered, watching as the last of Naruto's clones were dispelled, and her friend hit the ground hard.

"I'm not through with this guy, dattebayo! Come on, and stop hiding!" he yelled, forcing himself up.

"What are you whispering about?" Anko asked, from her left.

She would need time to prepare. She remembered what Naruto had told her about the technique and knew she could try to replicate it. It wasn't hard, right? Just some black flames. She glanced at Kakashi and nodded her head.

"Cover me," she mouthed quietly.

"Cover what?" came an eerie voice behind her. She whirled around and dashed backwards, barely avoiding the stab at her spine. The real one was right in front of her, and she gasped in shock. Her arm swung limply. She bit down on a pill, and fell asleep almost immediately. In her dream state, she used a little bit of chakra to notify her when he approached to close for comfort.

"I know that when you sleep, things happen unexpectedly. I don't know how but you stopped the Jounin from dying. So, I'll keep you awake long enough, that you won't be able to counteract my jutsu."

Yuki ignored his jests, and knew that her teammates would hold off the assault, long enough she could defeat the man.

Reaching deep inside her, she focused on the description, Kakashi and Naruto had told her of the jutsu.

Black flames.

Neverending.

Always hungry.

Destructive and hotter than anything.

She continued to focus, when a searing pain filled her eyes. She coughed, and felt liquid drip from her eyes, down them. Her strength was sapped almost completely, and she watched in horror as the last of her chakra was drained from her.

Dangit! I could die just trying!

She almost collapsed, but the drain ended. A huge power surmounted and begged for release, trying to open her left eyelid. She focused using her left eye, and searched the battlefield for the original. She didn't bat an eye, when he appeared from above. Her right eye opened, and a huge cloud of flame engulfed the man. Black flames appeared and started to torture him.

"YOU BITCH! YOU WHORE! H-HOW DID YOU? GOD THE PAIN!" he screamed writhing.

Yuki smiled, before wincing and falling to the ground. Everything below her neck stopped responding and she huffed for breath. It felt as if a twenty pound bag of lead was crushing every inch of her body. She smiled at Kakashi and Naruto, before she heard something that chilled her bones.

"Heheheheh! HAHAHAHAHAH! YES! DELIGHTFUL! AN ACTUAL CHALLENGE! FINALLY! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Yuki gasped and her eyes welled with tears. She had failed. She was barely able to make out the target's naked body. It became apparent what had happened. The genjutsu technique she had cast, hit him, and he removed the clothes in an attempt to get away. And get away he did.

She cursed her luck, and then the world faded, and she noticed two yellow eyes staring into hers. And then...darkness.
