Chapter 11: The Neko who Lost Her Heart and the Boy who Stole it.

Back with Himari and Ageha....

The sounds of metal clashing could be heard throughout the area, as the nekomimi and hienma traded slashes with their weapons. Despite the fact that the Daidarabotch was helping on the offense against Himari, she was managing to just barely hold her own. Ageha glared at her opponent, and prepared to strike again. "Not bad for going two against one, Cat! Do you really want to protect your beloved master that much?!" She exclaimed, as Himari jumped back while dodging another strike from the giant. "If he hath reached the Uzumaki Estate, there are allies there to receive him. A Tatami Child is there inside and she is most capable of protecting him." She smirked. "For instance, if thy Daidarabotch friend here were to smash the house." The hienma growled in annoyance, before flinging several knives at the nekomimi, only for Himari to deflect them back at her with her sword. "Damn...!!" She cursed, as she dodged the repelled attack, before trying to make her way to the Uzumaki Estate. However, she was stopped when Himari blocked her path, sword ready to cleave her in two.

"I won't let thee follow the Young Master, hienma." Himari said with a smirk, only to then blink in a bit of confusion as Ageha began to chuckle darkly. "Heh heh heh... There's probably no need for me to go, anyways... Sasa is sure to have that demon slayer pulverized into dust by now." She explained, shrugging as she readied her blade once more. "What... didst thou say?!"

At the Uzumaki Estate...

"Naruto, run!! That kid is giving me the creeps!" Sakura yelled out, as said blond continued to back away from the slowly approaching loli. "C'mon, Aniki... Let's have some fun! All you need to do is let a pillar hit you, crush you, and kill you. Splattering your blood everywhere... Heheheh..." The loli spirit known as Sasa spoke, before raising her arms above her head, summoning more pillars from the sky. Naruto could only look up helplessly as his doom approached rapidly... "Wh-whoaaaa!!" He covered his head in a feeble attempt to lessen the blow... only for it to never come. The pillar coming right at him had been blasted away and cut in two by a shot of water...

"I'll teach you a lesson on how not to touch someone else's.... play thing." Shizuku spoke as she held her hand outstretched in a gun gesture, a smirk on her face as she looked on at the two. "My water pistol is feeling a bit... violent." Sakura smiled in relief at the sight of the turquoise-haired girl, while Kaya cursed under her breath. Naruto got up and quickly ran over to her. "Thanks, Shizuku. You really saved my skin..." Shizuku closed her eyes and sighed. "I was up all night reading, so don't try to make me do anything that requires quick reactions..." She said, before looking over to the blond. "But... I can't just let you go and get yourself killed, either..." Naruto just blinked at this, as Shizuku climbed atop the nearby well. "This well doesn't have much water inside, but it's more than enough to shut that Tarara up." Shizuku said as she lifted the grate off the top. "Go on, get inside the house."

Naruto was about to do as he was instructed, when Kaya stepped into his path. "You ran away, didn't you, Uzumaki Naruto?!" She growled out, causing Naruto to gulp nervously. "Kaya..." He tried to start, only to get cut off again. "You left Himari behind and ran away! I can see it from here... That huge thing out there is fighting Himari, isn't it?!" She demanded to know. The blond held up his hands in a placating manner in an attempt to calm the Tatami Child. "That's not it! There's a hienma there too!" His explanation only seemed to irritate the Tatami Child even further. "Two against one?! You mean to tell me you turned your back on Himari and just ran away?! And you call yourself the hier to the Uzumaki line of Demon Slayers?! You better hope nothing happens to Himari, 'cause if something does, I'm going to rip you into tiny pieces and scatter you all over the mountain!!" Naruto sighed, before fixing a firm gaze on her. "I have no intention of running away and hiding. I came back here to get help." He explained, as his resolve hardened. "Like I'm going to believe that!!" Kaya exclaimed, glaring at the blond still.

"I'll go and help... her. If a Tatami Child steps outside of the house, she's just a regular kid... She's not an option when it comes to a fight." Shizuku offered, before Naruto placed a hand in front of her. "Yeah... I was a little late in realizing that. I'll go help Himari myself." He said, smirking a bit. Sakura ran up and held Naruto from behind, in an attempt to stop him. "Wh-what are you saying, Naruto?! Don't even think about it! It's too dangerous!" She exclaimed, only for Naruto's smirk to grow. "You would do the same thing if you were in my shoes, wouldn't you? I just can't leave her alone..." Sakura's expression fell a bit. "W-well, that's true.... But..." She was cut off when Shizuku tossed a pouch with a strap to Naruto, who caught it easily. "Take that with you... It may come in handy in a sticky... situation." Shizuku said, before turning back to face the Tarara. "We are spirits, don't forget... The cat especially is an animal that has hunting instincts... If those instincts were to take over on a desperate impulse, there's a chance she might never turn back to normal." Naruto gulped as he started to run back to the forest. "Not turn back to normal...? I won't let it get to that point...!" With that, he was gone...

'That's right... I ran away... I didn't even look for something I could do to help. As an excuse, I told myself "What can I do as a normal human?"...' Naruto hardened his gaze as he continued his rush towards the scene of the fight. 'Himari has always protected me, so I depended on her.. Right after saying that I don't want to fight with spirits, I let Himari do all the rest... Well, no more! Hang on, Himari! I'm coming to help!'

Back with Himari and Ageha...

The two combatants could be found rushing through the trees, as Himari tried to find a larger area to fight in, in hopes of gaining an advantage. However, it was to no avail, as the Daidarabotch would block her path, and force her to make a sharp turn. "Ahaha!! You're running out of breathing room, Crimson Blade!" Ageha taunted, as she gave chase to the agile nekomimi. Looking over to her, Himari readied her blade. "I do not have time to play with thee. Be gone." She was interrupted by the sound of the giant blocking her path again. "Out of my way!! If thou willst not move, then I'll run thee through! Himari attempted to cut through the Giant, only for her to be grabbed by the ankle, and slammed into the ground by Ageha's extending arms. 'Damn... She got me...' She could only watch as Ageha approached, and prepared to deal a finishing blow. 'Young Master, I'm sorry...'

The sound of metal slicing through flesh could be heard, yet Himari felt no pain. Only a warm sensation accompanied by a mild breeze. "Oh? Looks like Sasa wasn't able to kill you after all..." Ageha said, causing Himari to open her eyes to look at her savior... Who was none other than Naruto. "Y-Young Master!!" Naruto gave one of his trademark foxy grins. "Hah...hah... Looks like I made it in time..." He said, causing Himari to blush at the sight of his grin. "Y-you fool! What dost thou intend to do by coming back?!" Himari demanded to know, annoyance and worry clear in her tone of voice. "I really don't want to be protected by girls all the time... I've gotta' show a more Manly side... And do the protecting every now and again.... Y'know...?" He replied, before slumping over, revealing a steadly growing blood stain on the back of his shirt... And Ageha's blade sticking out of his back. Himari's eyes widened in shock as she took in the sight before her.

'Wh.... What is this...? Young master... What is that coming out of thy back...? What is this red stuff...?' Her thoughts were going a mile a minute, as all the facts before her registered... "This is what happens when you don't think before you act. You were protected by the one you should be protecting... How delightful. His blood looks absolutely divine..." Ageha taunted, an arrogant smirk on her face... Just as a dark aura enveloped the catgirl. "RAAAAAAAAAH!!!" She roared, as the aura exploded around her, and her pupils became slits. 'Young Master.... Young Master.... Young Master...!!' Ageha made to block the imminent attack from Himari, but was too slow for the enraged Catgirl, and was hit full force. "Korosu... Korosu.... KOROSU!!" Himari repeated again and again in her berserker state. Nothing mattered to her anymore except for destroying everything in her path. Ageha winced as she finally came to a stop from being sent skidding along the ground. "Ugh... Daidarabotch!!" She called out, and said giant was about to move, before it was bisected by the Raging Himari in a single move. "RAAAAAH!!" She roared, as she landed, blood dripping from both her sword and face. She slowly approached Ageha, blade raised high above her head as she prepared to finish off Ageha. Naruto watched on in horror as Himari continued on in her rage, unaware of the faint aura that was growing stronger around him, while forcing the blade out of his back, and healing the wound.

A surge of energy and strength flooded his system, allowing the blond to jump to his feet, before rushing at Himari and and Ageha, and grabbing them both by the collars of their tops, and flinging them in opposite directions. Himari simply recovered in midair and skidded to a halt, glaring at the one who dared to get between her and her prey, while Ageha hit a nearby tree, knocking her unconcious. Naruto held a hand to his head as information came flooding in. 'What... What is this...?' He wondered, before realization hit him. 'This is... my power...! The Uzumaki Clan's power!! The Shinobi Way!' HE thought, amazed at the feel of the energy rushing through him. "Alright, Himari... Time to come back to your senses!" Naruto declared, as he formed a cross-shaped Handseal. "Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!!" He exclaimed, as three solid copies of himself appeared around him. The two on either side of him immediately set on delaying Himari from reaching the original, while he gathered the mysterious energy, which he realized was called "Chakra", into his hand and held it back for the remaining clone to spin. The chakra rapidly began to rotate, taking on a spherical form, before it completed. Meanwhile, Himari had charged the two clones, and had dispatched them with a single blow. "RaaaaaAAAAH!!" She roared, before charging the remaining two Naruto. 'Please forgive me for his, Himari...' He thought, while closing his eyes. Soon, he snapped them open, as he hardened his resolve. "Come back to us, Himari...!" He exclaimed, before dispelling the last copy, and thrusting the Spiraling Sphere forward once the berserk catgirl was in range. "RASENGAN!!!"

What happened surprised both Naruto, and the now waking Ageha. The sphere caused Himari to stop in her tracks, before it expanded greatly, and began to drive her back at a high speed. "KYAAAAH!!!" She yelled in pain as she was ground against by the powerful Rasengan. Once is dispelled, Himari was revealed to be unconscious, but still standing. Her clothes were shredded from the attack. Yasutsuna dropped from her hands, as she fell to the ground. Naruto grinned, still holding his hand out as if the Rasengan was still in it, before wavering slightly. Ageha managed to get to her feet, and caught the blond before he fell. "Why.... Why did you...?" She began, only for him to cut her off. "I didn't do it to save you.... I just don't want to see Himari like that..." Closing her eyes and huffing, Ageha turned around, crossing her arms over her chest. "W-well, I'll let you off the hook today..." With that said, she blurred out of sight, leaving Naruto alone with the unconscious Himari.

The blond looked down at her body, before removing his shirt, and putting it on her, to keep her decency. "... She's always fought for me without asking any questions, but this was a risk she was always taking... I never realized until now..." He gave a heavy sigh, before picking her up, and dragging himself and her over to a nearby tree. "I really don't want to see Himari when she's enraptured in fighting... What should I say to her to keep that from happening...? What can I do to save her from that...?" He wondered aloud, as he leaned Himari against the tree, before sitting down next to her, panting heavily now as the battle took his toll on him, while the energy rush slowly faded from his system. He could still feel the energy there, but it felt... Incomplete. Like something was missing from it... Shrugging it off, Naruto closed his eyes, and began to drift off into a dreamless slumber. "I have a feeling... That things are going to be much harder for us from here on out..." He muttered, before sleep took him.

Technique Information

Rasengan (螺旋丸, Lit. "Spiraling Sphere")

-A Rank Offensive Jutsu

--The Rasengan does not require any hand seals to use, relying only on the chakra control of the user. Once it is complete, it becomes self-sustaining, which does not give the Rasengan a definite limit like its counterpart(To be named later. Kudos to those who know the obvious answer.).. The compacted nature and moving speed of the chakra allows the Rasengan to grind into whatever it comes in contact with, inflicting major damage. This also tends to launch the target backward once hit.

Kage Bunshin No Jutsu(影分身の術 , Lit. "Shadow Clone Technique")

-B Rank Supplementary Jutsu

--Similar to the Bunshin No Jutsu, this jutsu creates clones of the user. Unlike the Clone Technique, these clones are actual copies, not illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing jutsu on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. They can also disperse on their own. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original.
