Hinata and Itachi now have to fight for their lives and freedom! Don't expect me to have a long fight scene, just so you know!
Enjoy!
Hinata jumped back when the door slammed in front of her nose, before she tried to open it. "Shikamaru-sensei! Are you all right in there?!"
Itachi turned to look around and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Whatever's happening in there he's probably handling it fine, because we have bigger problems."
Hinata and Haruto turned and the girl's eyes widened. Those eyes…that forehead protector…it was the same ninja who had tried to capture her when she was a child… She froze where she was, if not trembling in terror.
Itachi drew his kunai and hissed, "Haruto, hang behind us, this isn't a fight for you. He's much stronger than you could possibly handle."
The younger boy didn't look happy, but nodded, stepping back.
The pale-faced ninja laughed, grinning. He already had one of them paralyzed with fear, and if he wasn't mistaken, it was the girl that had escaped his clutches seven years before. The other was the boy he wanted to test first, Sasuke's firstborn. By how badly the ninja who had tried to chase Sasuke had been injured, the boy had known advanced techniques at a young age.
"Why not have all three of you come at me at once? Perhaps then you might have a chance," he mocked, his long tongue licking his lips.
Itachi rushed forward, not wanting to risk his teammates. "I'll take you on myself!"
Since there wasn't much to work with, a direct approach was all that Itachi had. He tried all sorts of techniques, all of which were blocked or dodged. That was when he decided to bring out the big guns. The most powerful techniques his father had taught him. He thrust his hand behind him and like a thousand chirping birds, a mass of crackling chakra formed in his palm.
"Chidori, huh? You truly are Sasuke's child," the snake-like ninja commented.
Itachi ran forward, before trusting his hand forward, yelling, "Die!"
But before the attack could hit, his wrist was seized and the Chidori died. His eyes widened and he exclaimed, "What?! What happened to my Chidori?!"
"You certainly have skills to be admired, but you're weak in mind, too naïve about who you're fighting. But soon you will be mine, so learn to call me Orochimaru-sama, Itachi-kun."
Itachi's eyes widened in fear as Orochimaru's neck stretched and he went in for a bite.
"NOOOOOOO!"
Hinata shoved her brother to the side, feeling the sharp fangs sink into the side of her neck. When they were removed, Hinata collapsed, writhing on the ground and screaming as a seal formed on her skin above the bite, on the back of her neck.
"Hinata-chan!" Haruto cried, running down the stairs to his teammate.
Itachi's pupils contracted in horror at the sight of his sister being in pain. His Chidori sparked anew in his hand and he lunged, only to feel the fangs pierce his skin on the exact same spot. A burning came through his body, and he fell in a heap, his reaction a little calmer than Hinata's, but not by much.
"Itachi-kun!" the only genin standing shouted, eyes quivering in anger at how weak Orochimaru had made Itachi and Hinata seem. His eyes locked on Orochimaru's yellow slitted ones and he growled, "How dare you…hurt my friends…you bastard!"
He leaped at a man that was obviously superior to him, knowing that if he didn't fight, he would die like a dog. His neck was seized by his opponent before he even got close, the strong hand squeezing. He kicked his feet, trying to get away.
"You're not even an annoyance, boy," Orochimaru sneered, squeezing tighter.
"Se-sensei…" Haruto croaked, eyes trying to stay open.
I told you it would be short, I suck at fight scenes!
Thanks to anyone who reads and reviews!
