Chapter 4: Under the moon, Sakon emerges!
[[Author's note: Argh! The current manga chapters were bittersweet. They really kicked ass but it blew a large hole into my fanfic. But, gaining my inspiration back, thanks to kenshin's girl (thanks!), I was able to learn that fanfic is for the pleasure of reading...and not accuracy. Please, pretend as if this what happened to Kiba, haha. Well, after a couple more chapters, my new sequel project to this fanfic will begin. A Kiba pairing fanfic. Just wait.]]
After an amazing glamour of purple and orange rays the late afternoon sun hid behind the horizon and darkness began to fall. On the bank of the stream two shinobis and their canine companions were rested. One of these shinobis was Kabu, an elite "K.I.A" Inuzuka member and also Kiba's uncle, began wrapping up his account of what happened on the day he was ambushed.
"Well, I realized my fight with Mist-nins caused me to be diverted away from my team and by that time it was already too late..." Kabu began remembering the pain he went through fending off half a dozen Jounin shinobis.
"What happened after...after that?" Kiba said intently. He was sitting upright now, the pill Kabu had given him earlier had seemed to take effect.
"I can't really remember. I just remember that I killed every single one of the Mist-nins but one of those bastards had set up a trap amidst the fighting."
"One of the Mist-nins set up a trap? During the fight?"
"Yeah, as I pursued my team after taking out the Mist-nins, I stepped into a puddle which seemed harmless to me. But I was wrong, the water puddle I stepped on was a jutsu-trap left by one of the Mist-nins." Kabu bared his teeth, regretting his mistake in stepping in that puddle years ago.
"What happened when you stepped in it, old man?"
"The puddle was form of Water Prison Jutsu; once I stepped on the 'puddle' my foot was instantly trapped in the high level jutsu trap. The water enclosed all around my feet rendering me immobile and if things couldn't get worse, it did. Kunais from all direction spewed out from their hiding, about three dozen of them"
"Three dozen kunais? That's overkill..." Kiba was stunned at such high number of weaponry for just a single trap.
Kabu continued, "Well, I did my best to avoid the ones I could but let me tell you, the kunais came from everywhere." He added with a painful look. "The ones I couldn't avoid I had to twist my body so the kunais would hit my non-vital areas. It was horrible, sharp pains sprung out almost every part of my body as I heard the kunais jab into sides, back, arms, and legs."
Kiba grimaced at the thought of the immense pain.
"Lucky for me, the kunais that were about to hit my vital points, Sakkon jumped in the way to took that critical shots for me. If it wasn't that good ol' mutt, I wouldn't be here right now." Kabu patted Sakkon on the head.
"I guess you recovered since then...But why did you never return to the village?" Kiba questioned.
"Ah, I knew you'd ask. Well you see----"Kabu was cut short and his face showed a sign of distraction. Or a sense of danger. "Kiba, you smell that?" Kabu flared his nostrils indicating he had pinpointed his Chakra to his nostrils. "Something is coming from that way, not too far, at a high speed too."
Kiba sniffed the air. "The smell is faint...I can't perform at normal efficiency with the blood loss. Crap, I'm getting dizzy again." Kiba clutched his wound to ease the returning pain.
"Alright, we need to get back to my place, and quick." Kabu emphasized 'quick' and he meant it too. "Kiba, hand me Akamaru, I'll tie him to Sakkon. That way I can carry you on my back and Sakkon will carry Akamaru."
* * * * * * * * *
Sakon increased his pace. He blurred by branch to branch cutting the air and leaving behind a trail of dust and leaves. 'I know your near, damn Genin! I can sense it!' Sakon could 'feel' Kiba's presence. The dog Genin had left an impression on Sakon's cursed seal. Only some dared to anger a subordinate under Orochimaru...and live to get away with it.
Sakon's inner mind swelled with anger. The Chakra he had focused on the soles of his feet to move from branch to branch became affected by Sakon's anger and the Chakra began to blow the branches into bits after every step. Sakon took a stop atop a thick heavy branch. 'Lucky! The Genin is just a few more seconds away! Ha, looks like he stopped in his trail...watch out kid, Ukon and I haven't finished this party just yet!'
The thought of wringing Kiba's neck brought joy to Sakon. He cleared the last remained branches between Kiba and himself. 'Death awaits...' Sakon jumped through the foliage.
* * * * * * * * *
"Kiba, hitch on to my back." Kabu kneeled over for his nephew to climb on. Kabu suddenly twitched his head to the thick bushes to his right, deep in the woods. "Kiba! Get down!" Two blurs of kunais streaked across the stream toward Kiba. Kabu, in an instant, had Chakra focused on his feet and released the energy. This caused to him jump forward multiple times faster than any normal human could. With blinding speed, Kabu flipped out a kunai and deflected the two kunais.
"Uncle, what was that?" Kiba had managed to roll on his uninjured side next to Sakkon. Sakkon had glaring eyes and made began to growl.
"Sakkon! Protect Kiba. I think we've got company." Kabu was right. This time a barrage of shurikens sliced through the air toward the gray haired Kabu. He couldn't just avoid these shurikens or they would endanger his nephew, so he made his best effort to deflect them all. The ringing sound of metal clashing metal pierced the air as Kabu skillfully used his kunai to deflect the oncoming shurikens.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the distance atop a branch on a large forest tree. The figure was under a shade and his voice could be heard, "Huh, another canine freak shinobi." It was Sakon and he was referring to Kabu. "Get out of the way old man, I want that damned dog kid behind you!" Sakon jumped down from the branch and into the open night sky. The moonlight glazed across his face.
"It's Sakon! It's him! The guy that I was facing!" Kiba yelled. Remembering his earlier conflict, duress began to overwhelm him. The last time he fought Sakon, it nearly cost Akamaru and his own life. Kiba clutched at the wound he had given himself.
"So this is the guy?" Kabu said without turning back to Kiba. "Stay put Kiba, Sakkon will protect you." Sakkon barked in agreement and moved in front of Kiba. "Don't worry, I'll finish him off."
"Pfft, old man, you don't know who you are dealing with..." Sakon took a few more steps closer, Kabu was on one side of the stream and Sakon on the other. The stream was about thirty yards apart. Plenty of room to see what the opponent was about to do. "Old man, hand me that kid behind you and I'll leave. If I feel like it." Sakon brushed back his gray hair.
"Damnit, why does everyone call me old." Kabu increased his output of chakra to his ears and nose. Both the Inuzuka Olfactory and Hearing Dog- Like enhancement had been increased, it was almost night time and vision was becoming a handicap in the darkness. Kabu needed all the help he can get from his dog-like ears and nose for this fight. "Listen, I don't know your deal with my nephew, but I suggest you leave. Or things will get real ugly tonight."
"Nephew? Doesn't that make things more troublesome. Looks like you won't hand over that dog kid in peace, now will ya'?" Sakon grew agitated. He hated when things got him agitated. "Fine. Looks like I have to kill you." Sakon swiftly pounced from his position and began to run across the stream, using the water-walking technique. The water sprayed behind him as he ran with blinding speed across the wide stream.
Kabu threw the kunai he held in his hand toward the emerging Sakon and then drew out two more kunais with each hand. 'This is going to be one hell of a fight...' Under the silver moon, Kabu let a smile as his opponent approached him with a great hunger for murder.
