"ебать/yebat/fuck!"
Kuma got his right hand shopped...
The shinobi was about to finish the fatal blow, but at that moment I and Inu got back our sense and we flicked in front of Kuma. Inu deflecting the red head's sword and I aiming for the Jugular.
Without a say the red head ducked and backed away, obviously trained Shinobi. I got ride of my device, and turned to Kuma who was still screaming, "Your god dang tourniquet Kuma! use it! then use the device to call reinforcement."
Kuma who was screaming on the ground, took out his tourniquet then placed it on his right arm, at that moment the red head decided it was the best time to attack.
He flicked toward Inu and unleashed a series of attacks and destabilize him all the while avoiding his eyes, deciding not to be a spectator in this mess, I attacked.
Obviously the red head knew of my attack and divided his attention to me, and here we are battling the red head, slashing ducking, shower of shuriken, and a small fire ball of mine.
All the while Kuma was trying to use the device, but the problem was... "Overwatch team 2 to HQ do you receive?! Over."
Static...
He heard metal clashing against each other violently and a water jutsu made by the hostile, evading the thing, they clashed again, he tried again, "HQ this is overwatch team 2 do you receive! over."
Still static...
"Yurei! the fuck did you do to this shit!"
"Fuck he's strong! The hell do you mean Kuma!" All the while we were clashing against him, but at that moment he kicked me in the gut and made me flying, and focused on Inu 'Fuck, at this rate he will die'
I got fast to Kuma to see what the hell is he talking about, I snatched the thing from him, "Gimme that!" i clicked the black box, "HQ this is overwatch team 2! We are in an emergency situation! hostile ambush on the patrol area, broken senbon, i repeat broken senbon!"
Nothing, but static interference.
It's not normal, out device is at perfect condition, as new as a new born, but why the hell do-
My heart sank, it was not the signal, no... but a jamming thing that is disrupting the signal, we are completely, and utterly, fucked.
"Fuck!" I yelled in frustration.
"The fuck is happening damn it!" Kuma yelled.
All the while Inu was battling the guy, somehow he managed to keep it up against his inhuman strength of his, I thought rapidly, i said "Look, Kuma, we don't have time, I need you to take the device and run away and try until there is someone responding to you, Fast!"
"But-"
"Go, god damn it!" whatever he was about to say, he didn't finish it as I made a clone with the pool beside me 'Suiton: Mizu Bunshin No Jutsu!'we charged.
I and the clone got to Inu again, "Inu! he has a jamming device, you know what I mean!" then i charged straight at him.
"Roger!" then he flickered as well as my clone, the red head seemed to notice him leaving, so he got irritated, he backed and let me stumble forward as I was trying to keep him busy for an attack from my clone and Inu, and at that moment my clone got at him first, but blocked his Tanto then stab him with a kunai thus deflating, just as Inu was about to get a hit on his neck he ducked away then tried to stab Inu's gut.
"Oh no you don't!" I parried for Inu and we got back at our formation, while i am feeling a bit tired because of the Jutsu's i used.
I remarked him eying the way Kuma fled and eyed his watch that was on his hand, i knew what he was thinking, "Inu!"
"Right!" at that moment we run at him, the clash ensued, Inu got in front of him and started the Kenjutsu battle, while I flanked and got to his right, but like usual he knew how to deal with us.
But this time, instead of blocking Inu's attack and mine, he ducked Inu's slash and deviated my Tanto and kicked me out.
I got sent flying to a nearby tree, I was stunned, my head hurts, especially my stomach.
With a grunt, I tried to get up dizzily, and eyed the battle between Inu and the red-head. While clashing, Inu was about to get overpowered, but like usual, he backed away and used the fire ball jutsu, but this time, the red head was prepared.
He managed to dodge the fire ball in advance and got in front of Inu surprising him, he was about to stab Inu in the heart, but Inu managed to deviate himself thanks to his sharingan to get stabbed in the shoulder instead.
At that moment, I decided it was my time to get into combat, I flicked to his side, and slashing his head.
While the shinobi is skilled, he seem to be the same level as a 3 Tier shinobi, not expecting my return to be this early, he tried to evade the attack, but got a deep gash in his shoulder instead.
I heard him grunt, then I turned to Inu, "You alright?"
He nodded, "I think i can continue to fight a bit more before the reinforcement arrive, 5 min is my limit."
I nodded "Alright," but when we turned to see him, i saw him eying his watch again, "why does he keep doing that, and why does he seem to be focusing more on you than me, he really want's to kill you ey."
"Yeah... need to be carful."
I snorted, "Yeah, no shit. Let me do the job this time, you flank."
He looked at me, "Can you really d-" he didn't finish whatever he was about to say as the hostile flicked in front of us, I blocked his sword 'damn he's strong!' and he eyed me.
"You are damn ann-" Inu got to his side just in time to stop him from overpowering me, and waved signs, the red head expecting an slash of a sword, he backed away, his feet stopped feeling the ground, surprised he looked and saw that the ground broke away from his feet.
He looked up and saw me already spitting fire, 'Katon:Hosenka no Jutsu!' as bullets of fire fled to his direction, he managed to dodge some, but got hit in his leg.
"Good job!" at that moment we cheered, but then, the improbable happen, i froze.
'What..' Then I saw Inu back away as the red head engaged in attacks, i tried my best to move i couldn't, i couldn't even speak.
And here I saw Inu, fighting a death battle against an enemy that is twice his skill, countering, ducking, with all his efforts, he couldn't manage to avoid some slashed he and there, then he got stabbed in the leg, I heard him scream then he knocked him out.
I saw him drop, i tried with all my might to move, dread filling me as I saw him walk slowly to me, 'No, no, no! not now!'
When he got in front of me, he looked at me, then said "Sorry kid, nothing personal, but I need you alive." with that, he was about to get a hold on me, then backed away as shuriken got embedded the place where he was before.
"Why the hell are you there not making a move dumbass!"
It was Kuma, thanks god, it means reinforcement is on their way, when he got in front of me, he knew, he flashed a bit of his chakra on me and detected the seal, he snatched it right away.
"Where is In- Inu!" he was about to get to him stopped him.
"We need to get together damn it! Inu is still alive, but if you don't wait we all will die!" He looked at me then nodded with determination.
"Alright," we got into formation, but when i eyed the red head, he looked conflicted, his eyes flicked between his watch and us, "the reinforcement is on their way by the way, about 5 min they are here."
"Alright," but at the moment where we expected an attack, he disappeared, I tensed, I used my sensory ability, then I saw him retreating to the north.
I got to the ground, "Finally, he is retreating," as if i remembered something, i got up immediately, "come on Kuma! Inu is badly injured!"
"But you said he was fine!" we flicked to Inu's side."
"He was alive! not fine damn it! don't twist my word."
At the moment, Inu got himself shaken to wake up, "God damn it Kuma! stop! are you not seeing he is injured? also give me the device."
At that moment, Inu got awake, he grunted, "Don't move! your blood vessel is hit, you are loosing a lot of blood, try regulating your chakra to slow down your blood pressure."
"I want to help!" he said while I was bandaging his shoulder.
"Well you can't, look at your hand you can do nothing, you are already a case because if you are infected it's over for you as well," I saw Kuma clenching his hands, "You know what, we are around 50km from the compound, try to reach out to HQ again, say that we need medical assistance for one of our operative, and there is not time left, just say 'We need medical assistance 50 North of HQ, 2 Bags of Blood of B+ Type is needed, Iryo-nin expert is recommended."
"This is Overwatch team 2 Kuma to HQ, do you hear me?"
Only static signal could be heard, he was about to call out a second time but it reached out, "HQ to Overwatch team 2, give me a sitrep Kuma"
"Hostile withdrew, one of our squad mate is heavily injured, a team with 2 bags of B+ blood type is needed now! Iryo-nin expert if possible! Over."
A few seconds later, all the while I was stitching his leg so he doesn't loose too much blood, they heard, "HQ to Overwatch team 2, a 3 Tier 2 men-squad is on their way over at your position, 40 km north of HQ with 1 bag of B+, and 1 bag O+ blood type, Over!"
I saw blood flooding again in his shoulders like they were before they got to Inu, 'he is loosing consciousness!'
"Hey hey hey, Inu, keep up with me, will y'a, how are you doing."
He snorted, then grunted, "I want to be a doctor."
While bandaging, I said "Well, first thing first, stay alive i guess."
"Damn it izaku! do your job! stop joking around!" he yelled.
"Kuma i am doing my best and trying to ease my self! because if not he will surly die! keep your damn head cool and shut the fuck up! you are distracting me." i started to pressure his wound.
Inu's breath become ragged, 'Oh no this is bad!' trying to say something, but he couldn't, "What did he say?" said kuma.
"Shut up for a second," I approached Inu, then heard Inu say 'Kuma' "he wants to talk with you, Kuma."
He froze, for a moment, then stared at Inu, "If you dare say something of dying or anything I won't ever forgive you Tenji!"
Inu smirked a weak smirk, and Kuma came closer to him, he heard Inu say "eye..."
Kuma froze, but he quickly regained himself when I tapped repeatedly on Inu cheeks, "Hey, Inu, Inu, Inu! not the time to sleep inu! come on keep up! just a little bit and you will live Inu!"
All the while Kuma was frozen at the state of Inu, extirped of life, his peaceful face, and a faint smile plastered on him, he couldn't utter a single word.
His world silenced itself, as representing the silence to honor the dead, all the while the 3 late Tier 2 man team arrived and eyed the corps of his dead squad mate, then started to question Izaku, he couldn't care less about them right now, all he was seeing was the only person as he consider as a friend and whose he trust the most... dead.
As they were in the way to return home, Izaku asked "Hey Kuma, does... does Inu have a family?"
He looked at Izaku, his face on the verge of breaking down, "I-yes, he does, he lives with his father... and like me, his mother is a civilian who died at birth," he looked at the ground, "I was always jealous of him by him having an living family member."
Silence ensued, then Izaku asked, "How are we gonna deal with his father."
"I-I will do it, I am the only one alive that he can call as a s-son, I guess... I was adopted by him."
Then he looked at Izaku, he frowned, "You seem... unaffected by... what happen to Inu."
Izaku stopped, stared at Kuma one time, he said "Kuma, repeat this and i will seriously cut the other hand."
Then they continued to walk until they reached their compound, but they didn't expect what happen there...
