First Kiss--Chapter 22
"Running away from the truth."
Naruto and Hinata sat, in the same place they were before nightfall, near a fire, Naruto dropped some logs into the fire, creating an amazing display of fire particles and ash. He sat down next to Hinata and sighed. "Well, this is nice isnt it?" a smile came from Naruto. Hinata smiled as well, as Naruto put his arm around her.
The two looked at each other, and Naruto stared into her eyes, the fire reflected from her eyes, and as the flames reached higher and higher each time, they fell each time as well, and Naruto watched them through her eyes, not even looking at the fire.
Naruto moved his head in, slowly, and the two kissed. Hinata fell back, holding Naruto's coat, forcing him down with her, and the two continued to kiss.
Mr. Tao sat in the forest, it was now nightfall, and a fire was burning. He sat, looking around, trying not to fall asleep. Aya yawned as she slowly awoke. She looked around, then noticed that neither Naruto or Hinata were there. "Where's Naruto!?" she said.
"It's alright, they went somewhere, I don't know where, to draw the ninja that are following us, off.
"Oh. . ." she looked at her wounds, they were bandaged. "Did you. . ."
"Yes. . ." he looked around, then said, "How come you tripped. . .? I went down that path when I was going to Konoha, and there isnt any root or thing that would cause someone to trip." Aya sighed as she stood up.
"Well. . ." she started to walk back and forth. "It's just when. . .I have nothing to do, besides one task, I start to think, and then. . .bad memories come back to me and I start to freak out, luckily I only tripped." She smiled. Mr. Tao had no choice but to go along with it and smile as well.
"Well. . .what do you want to do now? We cant sleep because we have no idea when the Anbu are coming, and our firewood is getting low. . .so. . ."
Aya smiled, and then said, "Lets chop some firewood."
Naruto woke up, and then looked around, figuring out he had fallen asleep, and they were both inside Naruto's sleeping bag. He removed his arm from around her side, and then slowly got out of the sleeping bag to get dressed.
After he was done, he sat, staring at Hinata, and thinking of the night before. He had gone into the night a virgin, and came out without being one. He sighed as he looked at his surroundings and then realized what his current situation was.
"Hinata!" Hinata woke up, shocked, jumping up.
"What!?"
"We have to go! Remember!" The situation soon came to her as the romance of the whole situation hit her. "Get changed!"
Mr. Tao and Aya walked into the village, and looked around, a crowd of villagers looked at them, all at the market. "Where is the nearest village?" said Mr. Tao.
The crowd continued to spread apart, un till Mr. Tao could see the end, and at the end of that line, was a man in an Anbu mask. "Mr. Tao. . . you will have to come with me," said the Anbu. Mr. Tao dropped Aya carefully.
He motioned a man over to him and then Mr. Tao said, "Please take her to a hotel, any room, just make sure she gets out of here safe. . ."
Another Anbu stopped the man Mr. Tao had motioned over, "Sorry Sir, she'll have to come with us as well." The villagers started to form a circle around the men, and Mr. Tao stood, defiant in not going with the Anbu.
"I do not want any harm. . ." said Mr. Tao. His tone was serious.
"Either do I," said the Anbu in front of him. "Now come with us. . .or die."
"I'd rather die." Mr. Tao sprung into action, jumping towards the Anbu, he then pulled out a kunai as he threw the kunai at the Anbu. The Anbu blocked it as another kunai flew from Mr. Tao, and the same effect happened.
Soon the only solution to this battle, if it were to end in Mr. Tao's favor, was coming aware more and more clearly to Mr. Tao. The crowd scattered as the ninja battle began, the Leaf vs. Sachi.
"Are you sure you want to die like this Mr. Tao? I'm sure your mentor has told you many about who I am," said one of the Anbu as the battle stopped, Mr. Tao backing away from the Anbu.
"Who are you?" he said.
The Anbu reached for his mask, and then slowly took it off, Kakashi stood not ten feet from Mr. Tao.
Sasuke walked down a line of ninja, all practicing the same routine in succession. "Again!" he shouted. It had been almost a month since he sent out the letter.
Thirty minutes slowly passed. Naruto ran as fast as he could to save Mr. Tao from what he saw as an unevitable death, Sasuke waited patiently, and a bloody ninja battle raged on.
Both parties stood, Kakashi and Mr. Tao, each with wounds, panting, holding their bloody kunai's tight. Energy left them both as they dropped their kunais, Mr. Tao first, then Kakashi. They dropped to their knees, and Kakashi sighed. "How. . .How do you know my name, my mentor, my village."
"Because. . .your mentor is a runaway ninja, a missing nin, from my village. We have been looking for him for years. . ." said Kakashi.
"But, you know where he lives, and what he does. . .how. . ."
". . .Sasuke tells me everything. . .I know what happens at your little village."
"How. . ." Kakashi charged Mr. Tao, who quickly picked up his kunai again, finding new strength as he threw his kunai at Kakashi, who blocked it, then flipped around Mr. Tao, still holding the block, and eventually letting go as he tried at Mr. Tao's side. Mr. Tao flipped around as well and held his kunai up, chest high as a spark was created from the kunai's connecting.
Kakashi punched Mr. Tao in his chest as soon as he could, as Mr. Tao was disorentated from the block. Mr. Tao stumbled back as Kakashi charged again, Mr. Tao jumped to the side and threw his kunai at Kakashi. Kakashi simply smacked it away with his own kunai.
"You cannot win Mr. Tao. Give up now. Before you die," Kakashi said.
"I'm going to die anyways," he said.
"Very clever. . .you know our system well."
"It is the same as my own."
Naruto was reaching the mountains before the village, as it had slowly been an hour since they had left the path. Kakashi and Mr. Tao were engaging in a bloody battle, leaving all other Anbu, except for Kakashi dead. Kakashi was quickly realizing that Mr. Tao was not going down slowly, and Kakashi was starting to believe that there was only one way to take him down.
Mr. Tao sighed and then looked at Kakashi, who charged him. Mr. Tao jumped back and then threw another kunai at Kakashi, and then reached for his wrist. He threw it up as Kakashi threw another kunai, it flew through the air, and it connected with Mr. Tao's hand. It went straight through, but stopped as it went at least halfway through his hand. He screamed in pain as he fell to his knees, holding his wrist, still, then clenched his teeth.
"Heheheh." Blood dripped from his hand, as he panted, and Kakashi watched. Mr Tao smiled, and his teeth were bloodstained. He coughed as his wounds started to creep up on him. Blood fell from his mouth as he reached for the kunai, and slowly pushed it out, from the handle side.
Blood followed the kunai as it fell from his hand and hit the ground, Mr. Tao held his hand over the blade as his hand dripped the blood. "Sem. . .p. . .fry. . ." he whispered. The kunai shapeshifted to a sword, a perfect, well balanced sword. He picked it up and then laughed again, Kakashi had no idea how to react to the situation.
"How. . ." said Kakashi.
"Why do you think I let that kunai hit me? It's a jutsu, when my blood and a kunai mix, I get a sword. It is more like a summon," he lifted the sword up and looked at its perfections.
"Well. . .this battle just got a little more interesting." Mr. Tao charged Kakashi, and then swung the sword at Kakashi. Kakashi threw his kunai up to block it, but the sword just cut straight threw the kunai, then connected with Kakashi's forearm, it sliced about two inches through his flesh.
"That wasn't even at my full strength, I could have verywell just killed you. . ." he smiled.
"Then why didn't you. . ." Kakashi took a kunai from his chest pocket, then buried it into Mr. Tao's chest, as Mr. Tao threw his sword up, ready to swing. The kunai made him stumble back as he regained his balance, ignoring the kunai in his chest.
He stabbed Kakashi in the chest, cutting right through him, as the kunai in Mr. Tao's chest quickly took life away from him. Kakashi's eyes grew wide as he finally found out what had just happened to him, Mr. Tao held onto the handle before reaching unconsiousness, hitting the ground.
As Mr. Tao hit the ground the kunai reached in further into his body. Aya ran over to him, flipping him over and looking at his wounds. She pulled the kunai from his body and then hugged him, saying, "Don't die, don't die, don't die!" She started to cry as she saw Naruto walk into the town, he was in shock, as was Hinata. "Naruto. . ."
"Aya. . .what happened. . .?" he said.
"The Anbu attacked us. . ." Naruto walked past her, and then looked at the bodies.
"No. . ." he looked at Kakashi, who was still alive. "Kakashi. . ." anger overwhelmed him. "Why!?"
Kakashi groaned as he felt his wounds. "I did it because it was my duty. . ."
"No. . . why did you say not to find Sasuke. . .!"
"Because. . .in the end. . .I didnt want to fight you."
"Then how come you came on the Anbu mission."
"Because they were short of ninja." He laughed as he closed his eyes. Naruto backed up, slowly, and then looked around him. Slowly, the crowd was coming back out of their homes.
"Is there a doctor around here!?" shouted Naruto.
