Bloodless Ninja Once More
Setsuko POV
Kakashi. He saw it. He saw my past. I remember everything I did as Bensha and all that happened with the clay doll. A doll which now lies hardened on the kitchen floor, dressed in that baggy dress she always seemed to wear. I remember his words. They pulled something out of me that I never felt before. I don't know the name of that emotion. I don't even know if I could ever describe it. It brought a new type of hope and love into my heart. He pulled me out of the darkness I had sunk into. No . . . he never forced me to come back. He just held the door open long enough for me to jump through. To jump out of the darkness and . . . dare I say it . . . into his arms. I don't know why, out of the entire world, he chose me. All I know is that I love him. I knew I loved him before . . . but never this deeply. I am willing to do the unthinkable for him. For Kakashi . . . for Kakashi I will let them see that side of me. I hoped I could avoid it for the rest of my life. But . . . I can't. I never would have found the strength for it without him. If he wasn't here for me, I couldn't. I would be to afraid of what they might think. Of their reactions and what they would do to me. But he's here. He's here for me. And because of that little fact . . . I don't care what they think. He knows. He doesn't care. That's all that matters to me anymore. And I will crush anyone who will try and ruin my life with him!!!!
Normal POV
Setsuko sent the Shinigami towards Orochimaru with amazing speed. Kabuto was nicked as it passed by. Orochimaru leapt above the weapon and smirked as it dug itself into the rock behind him. Lamia Deus took a step towards him but was stopped.
"Don't!" Setsuko's voice rung out, causing everyone to look to her. She stood tall as she glared at Orochimaru. "This is my fight. Stay out of it." She hissed silently. Lamia Deus stepped back and closed her eyes. The dark mist disappeared to reveal Robin. Her clothes were tattered somewhat and her hair was free for once. It tumbled down and drifted about in the wind as she stared ahead of her. Robin turned her tired eyes turned to Setsuko.
"Hai. I understand Setsuko-chan." Setsuko walked forward.
"So . . . . little Kakashi was able to undo my seal . . . how?" Setsuko didn't speak. Setsuko only stopped and, with eyes hidden in shadows, lifted up a kunai. "Do you really think that will do anything?" He laughed. "Your 12 Blades of Death didn't do anything to me, what will a kunai do?" He asked with a smirk.
"It's not for you." Setsuko whispered. She stabbed her hand with it. She looked up with a smirk. "It's for me." She yanked out the kunai, letting blood pump out of her wound. She had a wild look in her eyes. She had given in. Given in to her emotions. Her fear. Her panic. Her hate. Everything. She let her emotions rule her, the same emotions that gave her the title Bloodless Ninja.
"You think you can beat me?" Setsuko smirked at him.
"Orochimaru-kun, I decided that for you, I'd let them see truly see me." She held her hand up and quickly threw her hand to the side, letting blood fly out into the air. The drops were held up into the air, still. "And dear Orochimaru-kun, Bensha decided that she would leave you alittle gift."
"Wha-" Was all he could get out before dodging a whirlwind of punches and kicks. When a punch grazed his cheek, drawing blood, he punched Setsuko, forcing her to slide back. Setsuko glared at him. Her demonic nature. Something she always feared. Something that always demanded fear. For the first time in her life, she wasn't afraid of it. She had embraced it. She didn't matter any more. The drops in the air multiplied as more blood came from her slowly healing wound. She had formed a bloody barrier between the rest of the ninja and the two.
"Orochimaru," She whispered harshly as she dug her nails into her palms. "You wanted to see me like this? You are the only being to ever want something like this." She shook with anger. "Not even I want this. This side of me . . ." Orochimaru tried to move but when he brushed pass a drop of blood, it exploded. There were so many in the air, he couldn't move. And with every second, more and more drops formed. "This is a side of me that I wish I could simple say is another personality. Like Aka Yuki was, or Bensha. Something possessing me. But it's not." She glared at the ground as hate coursed through her veins. "It's me. This is me when I lose control. When I cave in to my emotions. When I give in to my fears. I . . . I see red. I only think of one thing. Make them hurt. Make them hurt so much that they can never hurt me." She turned her glare towards him. 'But . . . for the first time in my life . . . this fight isn't for me.' She held out her bleeding hand and a sword formed. She gripped it with both hands. 'This is for everyone else.' She tightened the grip. 'For the people Bensha murdered.' Setsuko shook even more as anger renewed itself. 'For the people your sound-nin killed.' Her eyes narrowed. 'For my team.' She hissed in her mind. 'For the Uzumaki Branch Family.' Setsuko pulled back her sword as she charged forward. 'This is for Naruto and Kakashi!!!!!' She took several swings at him, forcing him to move into the explosive blood in the air. He cried out in pain as his body was burned several times. Setsuko slashed at him with the sword as it grew longer and more blades from blood appeared on it. No mercy. Make him hurt. She was being brutal and fierce. She didn't care that it was scaring the others when his blood sprayed onto her and she took no notice. She didn't care that her cruelty in fighting was scaring the others. Nor did she care when Yoko looked at the ground with fear coursing through her because of the killer intent Setsuko had released. Setsuko did not stop when Seung threw up from the killer intent or when Sakura cried from pure fear. Not when Janghoon fell down on his butt from the overwhelming sickness that was caused by her aura of death. When Sasuke vomited her didn't stop. Not when Naruto fell to his knees in horror at her actions. Or when Riki had to keep himself from passing out from fear. She didn't care. No mercy. Make him hurt. Make him hurt so much that he wouldn't hurt anyone close to her. Setsuko rammed a sword into his left shoulder and leapt away when he took a swing at her. She landed a few feet away from him and made a swinging motion with her hand. Her blood sprang out of her wound and wrapped around him as a whip. The strange whip, coming right out of her hand, held tight to him as Setsuko bit down on her other hand. Spears of blood flew towards him, piercing him several times before he melted into a pile of mud. Setsuko didn't have time to react as she was grabbed from behind and thrown into a rock. Setsuko felt him grab her and slam her into the rock several times before letting her fall. She knew what was happening next. He was getting that sword out of his throat. Her mind drifted back alittle as she heard the sword coming out and they called her name out.
Flashback
Kakashi rammed his hand into her face as she rammed her into his. He also slammed the strange orb into her stomach before the two went flying through the air. Bensha felt everything slowly fading. Something else was there. Taking over. Something that belonged. It had been missing until then. And it was taking back the body. And . . . Bensha didn't mind. She wanted this. They both wanted it. Bensha stood up, shaking from her exhaustion, as the new entity began to take over. She stumbled towards the weak ninja who was forcing himself to sit up. Kakashi watched in awe as it happened. Bensha's hair was slowly turning completely dark green. Her strange skin seemed to fade away as her skin gained a light hue of blue. Her silver eyes. Those haunting silver eyes that reminded him what was gone. Of what he lost. The eyes that should be someone else's. They were leaving. She blinked a few times, forcing a few silver tears to come from her crimson eyes. Setsuko stood there, looking at her hands in awe. Bensha. She was gone. The only thing that remained was the outfit. Setsuko pulled out a piece of wood from her shoulder and held her arm as the bleeding slowly stopped. She felt a faint blush creep up onto her cheeks as she realized how much her torn clothes covered.
". . . Setsuko . . ." Kakashi breathed, terrified that it was only a dream or a trick of the mind.
'Uzumaki . . . Uzumaki Setsuko . . . I have a gift for you . . . .' The fading voice of Bensha whispered in her mind. '. . . no . . . . it is for the snake . . . I want you to give it to him. It will be a . . . thank you gift for bring me out of my slumber too early. And for thinking he had to the right to summon me. For deceiving a Uindo Bensha when he lied about Hatake-san. A bird then 'Monko no Ten.' You will know when to say it. After all, you are the Uindo Bensha . . . and the wind answers to no one.' ((Door of Heaven)) Setsuko nodded to both Bensha and Kakashi as she fell to her knees and hugged Kakashi. The Copy Ninja gained a faint blush as he realized that Bensha's clothes were burning off of Setsuko. Setsuko didn't notice, she just hugged him as Kakashi tried not to do anything that would get him hit.
End Flashback
Setsuko felt her fist tighten as she fell forward. Her hands moved in front of her in the form of the bird hand seal.
". . . Monko no . . . Ten!!!!!!!!!" Setsuko felt a new power surge through her. She felt something breaking. Something being let loose. Setsuko turned around and dodged the sword as it sunk into the rock. She grabbed the snake and broke its neck. Setsuko moved quickly and punched Orochimaru in the face, sending him back flying. Before he had a chance to fall to the ground, Setsuko appeared above him and punched him down into the ground. She picked him up and grabbed an arm that tried to punch her. He yelled out as she broke his arm and began to pull it back as if to tear it off. "Talk about your simple plans. Destroy and conquer, huh?" She snarled as she completely crushed his arm after pulling it out of its socket completely. Orochimaru cried out in pain as he dislocated his other arm when he pulled himself out of her painful grip. Setsuko shot forward and rammed her fist into his face. He crashed into some rocks, causing blood to fly up into the air as there was a sickening crunch. Setsuko took a few steps but stopped as she felt all energy drain away from her. ". . . reached my limit . . ." She muttered to herself as Orochimaru pulled himself out of the rocks. "Still alive?" Setsuko whispered, surprised and worried, as she felt more of her energy drain itself from her. "Son of a bitch! I'm not gonna let you hurt them!" She glared at the man as she pulled her fists up while stumbling towards him. 'Once more . . .' She whispered in her mind. 'Once more, that's all I'll need. I need to release my limitations again . . . then I can end it for every one.' She felt the others rushing towards her, trying to help as the barrier of blood fell to the ground from her sudden lose of chakra. She forced her tired and weak to hands formed the bird. "Monko no-" She didn't get a chance to finish. It happened in blur. Kabuto had appeared in front of her and delivered a strong punch to her stomach, knocking the wind out of her and throwing her back into the ground. She didn't see anymore than that as darkness consumed her.
