I don't own Naruto.
Chapter Fourteen Kick Yo A Part TWO
Unexpectedly the front line of the legion was struck by a multitude of Heaven's weaponry.
Ten-Ten ran toward the legion along with Sakura and Hanabi flanking her side closely, throwing all their gifts at the demons. Itachi quirked an eyebrow as he materialized somewhere in the middle. The demons were not ready for the slayers and the battle was on.
"Where the fuck did they come from?" said Tae-sho since he hadn't noticed them either.
"Don't worry about them asshole."
Said a pissed Uchiah. Itachi appeared inches from Tae-Sho's face before landing a head butt to his forehead that split his surprised expression.
"Protect her at all cost!" yelled Sakura while taking on the demons.
Sasuke woke up from his daze and noticed Neji holding Hinata in his arms.
"Is, is, is she okay?" He said to the slayer who oddly looked just like her.
Neji simply looked at him with a tear stained face. He closed his eyes and Sasuke felt the sorrow in his spirit. But then he felt something odd.
What…the…hell?
Tae-sho and Itachi were scrapping like punks at a street fight when itachi felt within him a searing pain that was not from a hit.
Hinata!
Turning to look at her he saw the slayer and Sasuke. He started to walk towards her but Tae-sho slashed his back with one of his machete's and gripped his wing to tear it off.
"Never look away from an opponent you motherfucker! Cuz I just might get a piece of ya! I meant to give you my sincere autograph earlier, but I forgot my pen." As the demon pulled, the tendons holding Itachi's wing began tearing slowly. Tae-sho roared in triumphant. The beast swung Itachi around and slammed him into the black ground with a force that made the ground quiver and at the moment of Itachi's impact, Hinata's eyes shot open.
"No!"
She screamed standing to her feet instantly. Sasuke and Neji flinched from astonishment that she was up and changed in such a quick snap of time. Her hair was now almost gone and she grabbed her stomach in pain. Her shoulder felt as if someone was pulling it out of place.
Must…help…Ita…
Concentrating her chakra, feeling her pain, and using the strength of her love, Hinata let her body build up a ball of energy that left her palms like a bolt and it struck Tae-sho in the chest throwing him yards away. He didn't see what hit him.
She stood with her hands outstretched and her body seized up as if something hooked into her back. Her normal lavender eyes melted into a blood red, and her hands and fingers spread. Itachi lifted his head from the black dirt lethargically to see his beloved inches off the ground.
Hina…
His thoughts whispered. She could see the battle of the slayers and demons, she could smell the rotting bodies of Naruto and Kiba, she glanced at the face of Neji and Sasuke and at that moment she screamed a banshees cry of chalkboard scratching pitch.
The sound pierced the ears of all but Itachi. He stood up slowly with his eyes spinning wildly but his demonic skin turning almond. His clans fan shown bright and he outstretched his arms and wings towards her.
Be…be…beloved…I hurt…
Her thoughts barely whispered. Tears streaming down her face slowly.
I...I…can't help you…only time…only time can heal you…I have to protect you…I have to protect your body….
Ita…please…help…me…
He bowed his head, since he knew that she was in the Null Dimension too long. The realm was only meant for passage and for the existence of spirits. Not live beings. The realms force was pulling her molecules apart.
Then…then…I…I…will…en-en-endure….ugh…
I used so much strength already. I've been fighting soo long. I'm injured and she needs me…
Give unto me your strength…and I shall deliver thee from your bondage with great power.
Came the voice of evil.
But I will lose them if I do this.
Itachi thought.
But she is suffering and will die. Her soul will rot from the poison of a demons' venom and her flesh will burn from the pro-longed exposure to the despair of the Null Dimension. Her fate is not in your hands but of one stronger. Release me and reek havoc upon any and all that provoke you. Her death will energize your thirst for blood's revenge.
I…I…can..not…I made a promise…
His lip trembled from his heartache and his understanding of what had to be done.
You have done well our son…let us go. You must live to slay for heaven's sake. The clan's name rests in your hands.
The voice of Mikoto rang in his thoughts and he broke down in tears.
Please…not like this…please…
Itachi grabbed his head while falling to his knees. The demons began to push the slayers back. Sakura, Hanabi, and Ten-Ten were being overwhelmed and Neji became weaker by the moment from his injury. Tormented by the pain he knew his parents were about to endure, Itachi wept.
You are no longer alone…Our souls are truly at peace…Our sentence has been justly served. Release unto them your power and make all well for tomorrow's new hope.
The sound of his mother and father screaming seared his ears, and their torment ripped at his soul's heart. Itachi began to cry aloud…
"Mom! Dad!"
But the archangel of fate finally sealed their souls place in Hell's fire pit until the day of great judgment. And Itachi's seal gained a new ring now labeled Eternity.
A seal appeared on Sasuke's belly that burned through and he howled while he too was lifted from the ground and a light from within his core spilt out. Neji quickly covered his own body in a shield. Sasuke's body twitched violently and he fell to the ground. His body burst into flames; fried within seconds and it mixed into the black ground of the Null Dimension. Hinata stayed outstretched until she could hear and feel the anguish of her lover. So she too had to make a decision.
Please…take…me…I…will…die…for all of them.
At that point she fell to the ground, and Itachi sat up. The slayers were losing to the remainder of the legion. His parents' souls were condemned to death in Satan's pit. His beloved was being killed by the poison of his soul and that of the damned. His brother was incinerated. And all would be lost unless he took over the situation. So…he did. The power bestowed upon him would be released again.
"So…be…it."
With a couple of signs the ground rumbled and all things stopped moving and fighting. The ground became violent with turbulence. Itachi's hair grew down his back and another set of wings sprout. He now had another set of small eyes in his forehead pupil-less, frightful, and his skin returned to a darker navy blue. His claws grew longer than normal and he grew another set of teeth. His fangs were more menacing than before and his jaw hung longer from it now having an extra joint to deliver a stronger and faster bite.
"That scary motherfucker is the real deal! Let's get the boss and get the hell outta here! Re-group later and figure out what to do next. We didn't sign up for this type of shit!" Anayaki clamored to the others as they watched Itachi taking flight to the heavens, with the growl of a dragon.
Itachi gave a verbal command and the black clouds of the storm opened with a grand cyclonic motion. From the heavens fell a great shower of Ameratasu and the ground opened swallowing all that were within the circle that formed from the clouds. The shower of black flames lapped at the demons. The minions of Tae-sho escaped through a portal, snatching him before they left the realm. The slayers ran from the crumbling Earth and made it safely to Neji and his shield. They all could feel the tremendous pressure that rested outside the wall and in a moment the shield shattered, and Itachi stood over them. The thing heaved angrily but after a loud cry they vanished. All that was left was the crackling of Ameratasu's fire pit and the eerie silent Null Dimension.
Three archangels appeared in the sky and one shook his head in distress.
"It has begun."
