Hehe earlier update than expected eh? Well I want to get on with the story. The fighting ends here but there will be some more chapters. Emotion! But don't worry it's not all fluffy duffy. Thank you so much for all of the reviews! Seriously, you guys are so great ^_^. Hehe if this was an episode Strong and Strike would be playing A LOT. Then some sweet quiet piano music in the end. It's short a short chapter, but powerful. Let the moment sink in.
Chapter 13: The Moment
They both were gathering a frightening amount of chakra for the last attack. Sasuke knew this would be the biggest of them all. He had an uneasy feeling. He was actually nervous. It happened quickly, but it was like everyone was watching it in slow motion. Hoshiko and Sakura were gathering all of their chakra. The sky was a violent storm of power. It was dark, and lightning would strike every few seconds. Sakura was more determined than ever. She would kill Hoshiko even if it cost her life.
' It's time.' She thought. Suddenly, at the same time, they both started to perform their seals. Sakura jumped into the air while still performing them. A large amount of energy appeared in Hoshiko's hands as he charged up. Sasuke was shocked that he recognized his technique. It was the chidori. Sasuke was able to use his chidori three times, this guy seemed like he could probably do it about 7 times. But, he was putting ALL of his chakra into this. Sasuke gulped, he knew Sakura didn't know the chidori. He looked up at her, but was surprised.
Sakura's hands were glowing bright, brighter and brighter. Then they crackled as an electric like energy was coming out of them. She was also putting all of her chakra into her arms for this. Sasuke had never seen this attack before. The balls of energy in her hands were glowing bright, they looked like a mixture of fire and lightning. She and Hoshiko came towards each other were they're incredible blasts...
' I have to...' Sakura thought. ' I have to... I have to do this! ' Sakura and Hoshiko neared each other and fired their amazing blasts. Everything was dark except for the clearing that so bright you almost had to close your eyes. Sasuke watched as the two blasts met. Hoshiko and Sakura held them for a few moments, both trying to overtake the other, then the two blasts finally went into eachother. This caused an explosion so bright and loud... it was silent. Sasuke fainted.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Five minutes later... Sasuke slowly opened his eyes. He coughed suddenly, realizing the entire clearing was covered in smoke. He couldn't see anything, but just then he saw a tiny sparkle of light. It came from where Sakura and Hoshiko had been standing. There was light shining there. The smoke began to clear as the wind swept by. The clouds weren't as black anymore. Now they were just a shade of dark gray. The smoke cleared, and Sasuke could make out the figure. It was a beautiful young girl with pink hair with a bright aura around her. She seemed almost sparkling. Hoshiko was completely destroyed. Sakura looked at Sasuke with a smile, then up into the sky. She fainted. With that smile, it seemed like Sasuke's strength came back. He moved his legs and walked over to the girl. She slowly opened her eyes, her eye shimmering with hope, and gave him another smile. She then closed her eyes to rest. Sasuke went down on his knees and cradled the girl in his arms. For the first time in a while Sasuke actually smiled.
' Who ever thought that you contained so much power...' Sasuke thought to himself as he took Sakura in his arms. ' Rest now. It's over. You won.' Sakura was resting in his lap as he smiled at her. The sky shook a bit as it began a light gentle rainfall.
