"Now die!" was all I could hear as my hearing became faint. I can't believe this...I thought. I shook as I lifted my head up, watching the ninja come at me with full speed, holding his kunai out. The kunai was going to strike me. No. It was going to strike my stomach. My baby. My...daughter.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a bust of energy flew through my body as I tucked and rolled to the right, dodging the ninja's attack. He rammed his kunai in the picnic bench, and plowed it deep in the wood. He struggled to get it out, but finally gave up and faced me.
"Hmpf." he laughed as he simply pulled out another one from his kunai pouch. I gasped as I felt a pain in my stomach. My vision began to blur again as I looked up at the ninja. He tried charging at me again, jumping in the air and screaming. "Arghhhh!!!!"
I rolled to the right and back, pushing myself up against a tree trunk. I felt my head slam against the hard trunk, as I felt blood come up from my throat. I'm in no condition to fight...I haven't fought in so long, I'm out of shape...I thought.
"Enough games!" the ninja yelled as he threw a kunai knife in my direction. Knowing I couldn't dodge this one, I just simply flipped to my side and covered my stomach with both arms. I screamed as I felt the kunai rip into my shoulder arm flesh, feeling a warm, liquid ooze flow down my arm immediately. Me being a ninja, I of course knew it was blood.
I opened my eyes and with my other hand, pulled the kunai out with a gasp of pain. I dropped it on the grassy ground below me, and panted for breath. I couldn't help but smirk to myself though. I protected the baby...
"Hm. That was a nice move." the ninja said, annoyed. "Why are you so persistent on saving that demon? It will just kill you the first chance it gets!"
I didn't answer him. I just placed my hand over my deep wound and felt the blood run like a river through my fingers. I was afraid to look at how bad it looked, instead I kept my eyes on the ninja, but my thoughts focused on my daughter. I'll protect you...don't worry, honey...
Although I wasn't sure of these words.
"This time I'll make sure you die!" The ninja yelled taking two kunai out this time and racing towards me. I felt my heartbeat beat a fast pace, and tears dwell in my eyes.
There's nothing I can do...
Suddenly, a body threw themselves in front of me, and kicked the ninja in the face, sending him across the small area. I gasped as I watched the body land in front of me. I smiled when I immediately recognized who it was.
"Well, well, well. It's quite ironic we meet here, now isn't it?"
"Kyomi!" I screamed in joy. I had never in my life been so happy to see someone. I think I was even more happy to see Kyomi here in front of me, than I was when I saw Sasuke for the first time after two and a half years.
Kyomi was not in her disguise anymore. She was in her sleeveless white shirt, and black compression shorts. She placed her right foot behind her left, with her knee bending slightly. She held her hand up and smirked. "I'm waiting." she said as the ninja stood up from the blow she had given him to the face.
It took me a minute to recognize Kyomi's stance. It was the same as Lee's or Sasuke's when he was fighting Gaara in the chunin exams...Did Sasuke teach her taijutsu?
"Who...who the heck are you?" The ninja asked, standing on his feet now. He clutched his arm. It was the arm Hinata had hit. Was it just now hurting him? This ninja must have some amount of chakra!
"That's not your concern. I've heard you've been picking on these girls." Kyomi said with humor in her voice. "Well, I'm sorry but that doesn't slide with me."
"You're a sound shinobi." The ninja pointed out, obviously seeing her headband. "What are you doing in the leaf village? You are a outsider! An enemy!"
"At least I wouldn't stoop so low to attack ninja's from my own village." Kyomi said raising her eyebrow. I gasped.
"This ninja is"-
"Yep. A leaf village ninja." Kyomi said finishing my statement. I looked at the ninja in shock. "Why don't you take off the mask? Save us the trouble."
"What's that supposed to mean?" the ninja asked in a harsh tone.
"I'm gonna rip that mask right off." Kyomi said smiling.
"We'll see!" the ninja screamed. He clenched his fist and charged at Kyomi and I. That's when I saw Kyomi bite her thumb and slide it on the bottom side of her arm. She slammed her hand on the ground.
"Summoning!" she yelled. I gasped as I waited for the smoke to vanish, expecting a type of monster, or a secret weapon to appear.
I felt my shoulders slump when I saw a violin in its place.
"A violin!? What the hell?" I yelled at Kyomi.
"I told you..." Kyomi said snatching the violin and resting it on her chin and arm. "Not to underestimate me."
"Huh?" I said as I watched her place her bow on the strings. She slid it delicately across the strings, creating a beautiful melody.
"Note A," she murmured as she plucked the first note. I sat in amazement as I looked over towards the enemy.
He had completely stopped in his tracks. Frozen.
"I...I cant....I cant move!" he yelled from behind his teeth. "What did you do to me!?"
"Note C," she said as she plucked again.
This time the ninja fell to his knees and froze. "What are you doing!? You brat!"
"Hmph." she snickered. "Consider yourself lucky. I usually kill my opponent before I get to Note D. You're the first one who's ever seen it." she said. "Note D."
She plucked the string, and a high pitched scream filled the air. I covered my ears by tucking my head in between my knees and closing my eyes. It felt like the scream lasted for five minutes, when in reality, it only last five seconds. It suddenly stopped.
I felt myself breath hard as I hesitated to look up. I brought my head up slowly, only to find Kyomi still standing with her violin, looking straight ahead. I followed her gaze, only to see nothing. I gasped.
"Where did he go...?" I whispered.
"He disintegrated." Kyomi said turning to me. She twirled the violin in the air, and it disappeared. She bent down next to me and tore off some of the bottom of her shirt. She pushed my hand away and wrapped it tightly around my arm.
I was still trying to recap what had just happened.
"Disintegrated?" I repeated.
"Yeah. I killed him." Kyomi said trying to hold back a smirk.
"How?" I asked more confused than hell. "How did you kill him...with a violin???"
"Well I am a sound ninja..." Kyomi said rolling her eyes. "You know...we use instruments to fight."
"How does that work?" I asked amazed.
"The sound enters his body through his ears. It goes straight to his brain and with the chakra encoded in the sound, it paralyzes his body. With note C, the sound made his knees weak, forcing them to give out. And with note D...its like poison. The chakra infused in the sound, smothers his brain. Forcing him to die. Not only that, the sound's toxic chakra that surrounds the brain, flows throughout the body, causing him to disintegrate on the spot." Kyomi explained. I gasped, amazed at all this that had actually happened. "Get it?"
"Sort of...I think..."
"I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't. Us ninja in the sound village have our totally different tactics when it comes to fighting." Kyomi said standing up. "I told you, don't underestimate me."
"Did Sasuke teach you that?" I asked, trying to figure out how in the world Sasuke knew how to play a violin.
"Yeah right." Kyomi snorted." That jutsu can't be taught. It's strictly keikei genkai"
"Keikei genkai?" I repeated.
"Yeah. Please tell me you know what that means..." Kyomi said rolling her eyes, hoping she wouldn't have to explain.
"Yes I know what it is." I snapped. "Its like Sasuke's Sharingan. You can't learn it. You inherit it."
"Exactly. It comes natural to me. So I never had to learn it. I had to discover it on my own, but once I used it the first time, it was a piece of cake. Sasuke Sensei was pretty impressed." Kyomi said blushing and smiling sheepishly. "Score one for me..." she mumbled.
I rolled my eyes. "I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that." I said standing up. I felt pain in my arm and almost lost my balance, but Kyomi caught me before I had a chance of falling.
"Be careful. That wound is deep. You need to go to the hospital."
"Yeah...I will." I mumbled. Then I gasped. "Ino, Tenten, and Hinata! Where are they?"
"Don't worry, their taken care of." Kyomi reassured me.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I alerted the medical corp right before I came. In fact, they should be here any second." Kyomi said jumping on a top tree branch. I looked up at her as she smiled down at me. "Which means I gotta get out of here. Don't want my cover blown. Oh yeah, get ready for a big lecture when you get home." I groaned.
"You told him."
Kyomi smirked. "Sorry."
"Wait!" I yelled before she got a chance to disappear. "How did you know that Ninja was a leaf ninja? And why did he want to kill my baby?"
"We'll talk about it later. I have to get going." Kyomi said. And within a second, she was gone.
I groaned at the fact that Sasuke would be home when I got there. It was going to be a pain in the butt dealing with him. Maybe he wouldn't be so bad...
"Sakura! Sakura, are you alright?" a voice yelled from my right. I looked over and saw a member of the medical corp running towards me at full speed. "Is the baby alright?"
"Yes, she's fine. Are Hinata, Ino and Tenten"-
"Yes, the other members found them. Their not badly hurt, just unconscious from some blows they took." the medical ninja said noticing my arm. "Oh no, you've been hurt!"
"Yeah, I tried to patch it up"-
"No need to worry, we'll get you to the hospital right now." the medical ninja said with a reassuring smile on his face.
I nodded as the Medical Ninja motioned me to follow him. He turned around and began sprinting through the woods, and I was close behind him.
