Chapter 4. Enemies
"Oh my goodness he's right, that means were not the only ones in this house right?" Ino questioned.
"Or it could mean someone planted the food and the flowers, like they were expecting us, or baiting us, but who would do that? Besides no one can control storms so how would they lead us here?" Sakura reasoned.
Then Naruto realized something "Ne ne, when I was out there I thought I saw something, but It just turned out to be a squirrel drinking some water."
"Like that helps?!" Sakura and Ino exclaimed, both kicking him sending him flying into the wall.
"Wait, he could be on to something, water Nin can transform into puddles, right? They may also even be able to control rains." Shikamaru said.
"True but why would they want to hunt us? Our mission was to travel to the Sand country and assassinate a group of highly skilled murderers." questioned Sakura.
"Wait a sec Sakura, didn't the guys whose masks we took off have forehead protectors with the water symbol? Could it be possible we didn't finish the job, and now the rest are after us?" Ino worriedly said. "But each of us took out at least a hundred, how many more could there possibly b-"Ino stopped short of what she was to say, and pointed towards a large balcony style window high overhead.
Outside the opened window they saw thousands of supposedly water ninja, or at least hundreds of whom moved astonishingly fast. It seemed as if it all happened in a blur to all of them, their instincts and training completely taking over their bodies. One second they were standing on the defensive while windows were being shattered and doors trying to be broken down, the next, they were all engaged in a bloodthirsty battle.
Ino was slashing blindly, trying to keep the dozens of ninja that were attacking her from killing her 'Shit! Why are there so many of them?! If odds stay like this we'll never get out alive!'
Naruto had used his shadow technique and had multiplied into hundreds. 'Take this and that, and ha!!!!' was all he thought of.
Sakura was jumping and running and stabbing everything she could, and thinking with dread. 'There are too many, we need help or we'll all die!!!'
Shikamaru had used his shadow technique on all around him, and begun to slash through all the ninja before it wore out. 'Just after I told her how I really felt.' "Troublesome, troublesome, troublesome."
Sasuke had used his flame techniques to kill some of the ninja and slashed some others in his way. As he caught a glimpse at the others drenched in blood and wearing out, he thought 'I may have to use that technique.'
As all the fighting and killing was going on an unseen and unknown onlooker was high above them, judging. "The children are good; they may be able to help us." With that said by the strange looking boy no older than thirteen, a girl appeared, his same age, beside him.
"Don't you think its too risky? They might not want to help, like the rest. Then they will have to be killed as well if they know our secret. Don't act foolishly yet again Devisal." the girl said.
"But look at them Emilsiya, they're such good fighters, and they have good hearts, I can see, yesterday night that boy over there told the blond girl he loved her. He even found your garden, no cold hearted person could've done that."
"Devisal, what you say has a ring of truth but you have been foolish and soft hearted from the beginning. Do you remember when you told our secret to the boy whom you thought was kind hearted enough to help us the sole reason being he helped a kitten? They were completely different things! That was a kitten and some flowers, we, we are banished demons!" Emilsiya cried, outraged at her brothers decisions.
Meanwhile, below them, Ino, Shikamaru, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke were still desperately fighting for their lives, and very nearly losing when all of a sudden time seemed to stop, the water ninja all froze in their place and above them the five could hear a boys voice say "I don't care what you say I'm going to ask for their help."
Then a girls voice could be heard, barley a whisper, which sounded much like a passing wind, "Fool! Do not interfere with their destiny unless you wish them killed! They will not help us." the voice hissed, "Our fates have already been sealed!"
"Who's there?!" Naruto shouted, when no one answered, he shouted again "Whoohoo, can you hear me?!"
"Yes" said Devisal while coming into focus. "We can."
"Whoa." gasped Ino "Who are you? What do you mean 'we?' there are more of you?"
"She noticed. Come out now Emilsiya, they know." The boy said.
"Why did you give it away, don't involve me in your hopeless dreams of freedom, I don't wish to have to kill them!" Emilsiya screamed, obviously extremely stressed.
"Whoa, who are you?" Sakura asked.
There was a long uncertain pause, then suddenly, the boy said much to Emilsiya's dislike, "Were banished demons. And we need your help."
"No" came Sasuke's cold voice.
"But you don't understand..." the girl said sadly. "We'll be forced to kill you if you don't."
