Bloody Rain CHAPTER 11
Sasuke had improved more than you ever thought he would. Had you wanted to stick to your original plan and let him kill you it would have been a good thing….but with Kirai out there needing you to return for her…nothing could be worse. She couldn't even track him…hell you were having a bit of a hard time keeping your eyes on him. This was going to be the hardest battle you had ever fought. You feared to allow yourself to slip into the killing state but…he was your little brother…the only one who didn't push you towards perfection…you still loved him. How could you not? Beneath all the Sound Village attire and Orochimaru's influence he was still the sweet little boy who used to wait up for you to get home at night.
No. He wasn't…you want to believe that…that somehow you could turn him back into that little boy…that you didn't have to kill him. No. There was nothing left of your little brother in the ninja that fought you now. He was Orochimaru's play thing…left only enough of his mind to want to destroy you.
"Are you SCARED Itachi?" Sasuke's voice was cold, maniacal, and almost…snake-like. "You should be!"
You dodged another kunai, slicing the super thin wire you knew was coated with oil. It was an Uchiha technique, fire was always the families trademark.
"Run along Sasuke, go play with your toys!" it hurt to say it but this was a fight to the death and he still had some of your foolish little brother's traits. Maybe just maybe taunting would make him slip up.
You crossed blades now kunai struggling against one another, the sharp blades inches from cutting off your hand. "I'm going to kill you Itachi and then I'm going to go kill that whore you seem to care about. I'll make her suffer. First I'll beat her to the ground until she is too weak to struggle so much and then I'll ride her until I split her at the seams. And when she's broken and crying I'll torture her until she BEGS me to kill her!"
Rage pure untainted rage filled you. You welcomed it and as your vision started to haze over and your body began to scream for his blood…you embraced it. You let the killing state consume you. He would NOT get the chance to even get close to Kirai!
Kirai's P.O.V.
You ran. You ran for your life…and for the life of your child. It was only when Itachi threatened to take his own life that you realized it…you hadn't had a period in a few months now. As much as you wished you could say it might not be true, somewhere deep down you knew you were with child now. After you ran a few miles from the battle you settled your hand on your stomach. How had you not noticed? Already your belly was growing….so slightly but it was there! Now you would need Itachi more than ever.
You sank to a sitting position against a tree and let your fear and doubts consume you. What would you tell the organization they'd kick you out! Where would you go? You were both wanted criminals how would you make a living? What if he left when he found out about the babe? What would you do without him? What would you do once the babe was born? What kind of life would it have being raised by a murderer always fleeing the authorities? And the worst possible thought that made your body wrack with sobs: what if he died fighting his brother?
It was some time before you could stop the sudden flood of emotions. Too long…they'd been fighting for too long…hours at least! Was he…was Itachi dead? Was he laying on the battlefield bleeding to death unable to come search for you? You had to go back!
Itachi's P.O.V.
The fight was taking it's toll on both of you. Your chakra was low and you had lost more blood than you should but Sasuke was weakening too. Movements becoming slow from fatigue, moves becoming sloppy, reactions slowing. You would achieve your objective. A few more well thrown kunai and a few well used jutsu and you would have him.
Snakes all over you. It was a jutsu but it was no illusion. Sasuke moving behind you getting ready for the finishing blow…you had miscalculated! You fought the snakes off of you cutting them in half chopping off their heads but they were like hydra more and more heads grew from wherever you cut them! Sasuke was nearly in position to strike. Your last kunai…you had to wait for the perfect moment and then force all your chakra into it so it would not only hit it's target but go threw it…a whole through the heart. Your timing had to be perfect for now you fought off the snakes enough to keep their deadly venom from reaching your bloodstream.
Just a little more now…you would have to strike only a moment before he did. You might take his kunai and die because of it but he would die first. It was like time had slowed you watch his arm move, the kunai cocked to be thrown, Sasuke's arm swinging forward. NOW! You put all you could manage into the quick throw but its course was straight and true. You watched it blow a whole through his body. His kunai in the air too close to advert. You braced for its impact…for your death. But then….
(Muhahaha the end is near! I know how it ends but you shall never know!)
*readers: WHAT? NO! YOU MUST FINISH!*
(But are you sure you want to know how it ends?)
*readers: YES we are VERY sure!*
(Ok I'll tell you…..)
*readers: O.O {stunned anticipating silence}
(Chuck Noris comes in and kills everyone ^_^ )
