Don't own it!
Chapter Nine: 1:0 Kakashi
Naruto ran between Imako and Kakashi before the later could stop him.
"Come on, why do you have to fight?!" he asked. "Can't we just go home and settle things over a bowl of ramen?"
Imako let out a low growling laughter.
"Move to the back with the others Naruto," ordered Kakashi without taking his eye off of Imako. "This is one battle I have to do solo!"
"This coming from the guy who values teamwork the most? Forget it!" objected Naruto.
"Not now Naruto, please, just move back," said Kakashi vehemently.
Naruto stared at his sensei, but finally shuffled off to stand ready with Sasuke and Sakura. Kakashi faintly smiled.
"Stay together and don't attack until I give the word, understood?"
"Hai!"
"How nice," sneered Imako. "Setting up an audience to watch you die?"
"No one's going to die," retorted Kakashi.
"You're very wrong about that!"
Imako lunged from the branch and slashed at the silver haired Jonin, but only received a claw full of wood. Kakashi appeared at her side and executed a high kick to the side of her head. Imako hit the ground with a grunt and quickly dodged a fist from above. The Jonin took up the failed attack, side stepping her swiping claw and driving his knee into her back.
"You bastard!" she snarled.
Imako moved swiftly and kicked his feet out from under him, biting deep into his right arm as he hit the ground. Kakashi punched her on the snout and she flinched back with a yelp. They both stood up to catch their breath after that little skirmish.
"I'll admit you've improved," panted Imako.
"You're not half bad yourself," smirked Kakashi pushing the pain of the bite wound to the back of his mind.
Imako growled and ran at him.
"Not very original though," he said.
Imako suddenly vanished from right in front of him and reappeared behind him, grabbing onto him.
"Crap!"
She sank her teeth into his shoulder; Kakashi couldn't help but cry out.
"Master!" cried Sakura.
"Stay- back!"
Kakashi gritted his teeth and slammed his head back, catching Imako on the side of her skull. Her bite loosened and he jumped up, swung his legs over her and landed behind the demon, bending her back. Imako let go completely and spun around wither a leg sweep. Kakashi grabbed her shoulder and jumped over her again, kicking her in the back. Imako fell forward and Kakashi stood on her.
"Give up?" he asked.
Imako snarled and rolled over, swiping at the Jonin, but he was gone.
"Show yourself you coward!" she yelled.
The enraged demon felt a tap on its shoulder and spun around; lashing out with her claw, but all it caught was air.
"What the fuck?"
She turned back and received a fierce blow to the head which knocked her down with an audible thud. Kakashi shook his hand.
"Damn that hurt," he muttered.
Imako crept to her knees holding her head. She let out a long low growl, trying to get up. A wave of dizziness crashed over her and she fell back on her knee. Her body changed back to Imako's and she rested her head against the dirt; it felt like it weighed a ton. Kakashi walked up in front of her and crouched down.
"It's over Imako," he said. "Admit defeat."
Imako growled and sat back on her knees, glaring at the Jonin. Then she shuddered and fell unconscious. Kakashi caught her and slowly laid her down.
"What did you do?" asked Naruto walking up with the other two.
"You gave her a concussion with that punch, didn't you Master Kakashi," said Sakura.
"Yes, but I didn't mean to," said Kakashi distractedly. "I meant to catch her across the jaw and just knock her out."
"Well, she's out like a light now anyway," said Naruto folding his arms over his head.
"What's going to happen now?" asked Sasuke.
"I think she'll get a light fever so it's best we'll stay here until it's past," sighed Kakashi.
He rose to his feet and looked around.
"Sakura and Sasuke, you round up some fire wood- not like that's too hard around here- and Naruto, you go refill our water supply. There's a spring a little ways in there," he said pointing.
"And what about you?" retorted Naruto.
"I'm going to sit here and watch her of course," said Kakashi. "What's the use of having underlings if you don't send them to do the dirty work?"
"Har har..."
Naruto sweat dropped and walked off grumbling while the other two where long gone. Kakashi crouched down in front of Imako again and moved closer for a better look. Something seemed off somehow. His suspicions were quickly confirmed when her eyes snapped open. Before he could react, Imako had pulled him down and pinned his arms to his sides, holding them with her legs as she sat on his abdomen.
"You're a fool Hatake," she hissed. "Did you really think that would stop me?"
Kakashi cried out when she dug her fingers into the wound on his shoulder.
"Mmmm... I so enjoy hearing you scream," she purred into his ear, digging in deeper.
Kakashi's eyes widened when he felt her hot tongue slide along his ear.
"Get off of him!"
Imako looked up just in time to see three pairs of feet flying at her. All three genin kicked her off and she hit her head on a boulder a few feet away. Kakashi breathed deeply, clutching his shoulder and looked to the side.
"...Well, she wasn't- knocked out... before," he said, "...but she sure...as hell is now!"
Ah yes, the long waited for chapter has finally been posted. I can't apologize enough for being so slow, but I'm afraid that's how it'll be most of the time. I hope you've enjoyed it and wait for your reviews. And thanks to those who have reviewed the last chapter, it really helps knowing people still read. But it's my own fault, the slower I update the more readers loose interest and the less reviews I get.
