Chapter 9
Bevy sat on her bed and looked out her window. Her giant eagle was sitting in the tree outside and the wind chime from Itachi was hanging silently over the window. She had declined to hang out with Ato, Kiyo, Bera, and Ryu because she had a date that night with Itachi. Of course, she hadn't told them that. She knew Bera would've been crushed and brought the mood of the others crashing down too. She checked he watch (7:21). Itachi was picking her up in nine minutes. Luckily, she wasn't one of those girls who cared about things. She took off her clothes, revealing her in her bra and panties, and applied lotion to her body. Bevy put on her blue jeans and Korn tee shirt. Five minutes later, she heard the door. "Ready to go?" asked Itachi as she opened the door. "Yeah," she replied smiling. She never once thought about what her friends were doing at that moment. All she knew was that she was going out on a date….
Kiyo
"Come on!" pleaded Sakura. "I'd love to hang out with your friends! Why won't you let me?" Kiyo looked at her then looked away. "Fine you can hang with us tonight. I'm meeting them at 7: 00. I'll pick you up." Sakura giggled and stood up. "Great I'll see you then!" Finally she kissed him and walked away, giving a victorious smirk that he could not see. Kiyo looked around the mall and decided that he'd rather go. He got in his car and sped off. The clock on the dashboard said 5:59. Kiyo stopped at a red light and fixed his rearview mirror and noticed a figure in the back seat. The figure was dark and Kiyo had trouble seeing. He saw that it had something in his hand and dared not look back. Then, Ryu laughed as his face came into view and Kiyo hit him with the ball of lightning he had stashed in his hand. "You are such a dumb ass!" Kiyo said to a smoldering Ryu. As he climbed into the front seat, Ryu gave a glowering look at Kiyo. "Did you have to electrocute me? It was just a joke." Kiyo said nothing. Once he reached Ryu's house, he stopped so that he could get out and shocked him once more before leaving him in the gutter. Smiling to himself, Kiyo went home to await 7:00.
Bera
Ato and Bera sat in Ato's room. While Ato read her book for Historic Revolutions class, Bera looked up Hentai on the computer. "Wow," Ato said as she turned the page of her book. "This guy had a hard life under the French Revolution. He couldn't even use his powers for fear of being mistaken for a witch." Bera wasn't listening. She was looking at a special piece of Hentai featuring someone who looked surprisingly like Kiyo. Oh my god, Ato! This guy looks like Kiyo! His hair is a little lighter and shorter. And he is a lot more built. And his pack is…" Ato interrupted. "Bera! I'm trying to read! I don't want to hear you leaking over some guy who looks like Kiyo performing something nasty to a girl you wish was you!" Bera looked insulted. "well Ato…. If something that's important to me isn't important to you, I know when to shut up." She turned to face the computer and continued to talk about the picture. Ato finally asked her, "If you know that I don't care, why haven't you shut up yet?"
Kiyo
Kiyo waited outside Sakura's house. She was coming out of the door and turned to lock it. Then, Kiyo noticed that the door was cracked and she was seemingly talking to someone. When he saw the door close and lock, he figured she was talking to her mom. "Hey sweetheart!" she said getting into the car. "Hey," he said, pulling off. "So who's going to be there?" Sakura asked. Kiyo looked at her. "Bera, Ato, Ryu, and Bevy is supposed to come by later and tell us about her date." Sakura looked happy. "Cool," she said. "The whole gang." They rode in silence. Once they reached Ato's house, they got out and walked up to the door.
"Hey Ato!" said Kiyo giving her a hug. "Hello Bera," he said looking over her shoulder. "How do you do, Kiyochi?" He looked and saw Ryu sitting on the couch. "Umm… You guys know Sakura." They all mumbled things like "yeah", "mmhhmm", and, in Bera's case, "I know the bitch." Kiyo looked at her like he didn't know who she was. "Bera, can we have a word? In private?" Kiyo and Bera walked upstairs to Ato's room. "Look," Kiyo said. "I know you hate my guts and I'm not like you want me to be. And I'm sorry, but I wish you could get passed that! Plus," he added. "I'm only dating her because I was a little lonely. I'm dumping her tomorrow." Bera gave her weird annoying smile where her lips disappear and they walked downstairs. "Ah Kiyo! Bera!" Sakura said happily. "Great now everyone is here!" Sakura grabbed Kiyo's arm and had him sit down. "I have a surprise for all of my new friends!" Sakura got up from her seat and walked into the area in front of the living room. She snapped her fingers and they heard footsteps upstairs.
Next, they saw two pairs of feet coming down the stairs. As Naruto and Sasuke walked into the room, Ato stood up and so did Bera. "How did you get into my house?" Ato asked. Naruto and Sasuke smirked and looked at Sakura. "Well, they couldn't get into your house because none of us can without being invited. You invited me, I invited them, now you're going to die." Sakura smiled sweetly. "like hell we will!" said Bera. "There are three of you and four of us! Odds are against you, hun!" Kiyo looked at Sakura. "How could you do something like this! I thought you guys were strange but I let go of my suspicions!" Sakura looked at him calmly and said, "All because you're a fool." And with that the battle ensued. Ryu took on Sasuke, Kiyo fought Naruto, and Ato fought Sakura. Kiyo and Bera looked at each other as Ato's house was being ruined all around them. Bera didn't have to say what she was thinking. Kiyo knew… it was all his fault.
As Ato was blasted into the air by an attack from Sakura, Bera jumped in. Just then, he heard a squeal and a thud, and at that moment someone hit the ground. Kiyo looked over while Ryu continued to fight. Bera was hit in the head by a kunai and was now lying against the wall, blood oozing from the spot where the kunai entered. "NO!" he yelled and was thrown off his feet by a flying Ryu, who was hit by an attack from Sasuke. Now with both of them down for a second, Naruto and Sasuke were free to gang up on Ato, who was still fighting Sakura. "Ryu get up! Hurry!" He tried to push Ryu off him but he protested. "My leg is broken! I can't move!" Too late! They heard Ato scream, and saw her fly through her wall, into the kitchen and become impaled on a knife that flew into the air and fell in her chest. "Ato!" Ryu screamed as he tried to get up. But it didn't work. She clenched her fist and lifted her head as if to say something, then her head fell and she died.
Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke walked up to them and stood over them. "You all made this far too easy!" Naruto said. With that, he performed the fire dragon no Jutsu and burned Ryu into ash. Kiyo stood up. Looked at them and, with one sweeping motion of his hand, blasted them off their feet and into the railing on the stairs, forcing it to break and for them to fly through it and into the wall. With a flash of lightning, he was in Ato's room. Why wasn't he in his own home? He could hear them from downstairs. "I didn't think he would use the magic the witches taught him! Find him! Our No Escape no Jutsu wouldn't let him leave the house!" Kiyo frantically searched for one of Ato's books for the Forbidden no Jutsu. Kiyo couldn't talk, couldn't think. Ryu, Ato, and Bera couldn't be dead. This had to be a dream and finding the book would make it all better. It had to…
The door behind him busted open and Sasuke walked in. "Found him!" he yelled. Before he could say another word, Kiyo's rage got the better of him and he summoned electricity so powerful, it stayed connected to his hands as he electrocuted Sasuke. Naruto and Sakura arrived just in time to see the electricity burn a hole straight through Sasuke. "You bastards!" he yelled. With that he continued to throw electricity at them. When it wasn't working, he resorted to using the most powerful spell he knew. "Stipendium picate mhors est! The price of sin shall be your death!" His eyes grew black and blue and grew to the edges. At that moment, the ground between them opened up as if fire was burning a hole in the ground. Sakura screamed and Kiyo laughed at her weakness. "SCARED SAKURA! YOU STUPID BITCH! LEARN TO DEAL! YU CAN KILL MY THREE FRIENDS BUT YOU'RE SCARED OF A LITTLE GATEWAY TO HELL?" Kiyo laughed at her, but saw Naruto was gone. Just then he felt a sharp pain in his head. He fell to the ground and his gateway disappeared.
He looked up into the faces of Naruto and Sakura. "After all the work you did," sakura said. "pulling out all the spells, trying to avenge your friends deaths, poor Bevy… she'll have no warning of what's coming." Then, she put he legs on the sides of Kiyo and sat on him. "Sakura," he said. "don't do this!" Sakura smiled, almost sympathetically. "Good bye, Kiyo." With that she plunged an athamay into his heart and ripped it down into his stomach. Just before he died, Sakura told Kiyo, "I saved the most gruesome death for you… my favorite…" At that, Kiyo let go… and embraced death as his new destiny.
Bevy and Itachi walked up to Ato's house laughing and talking about their date. "that movie freaked me out too bad!" Bevy said. "Especially the part where she rips the knife into his stomach from his heart!" Itachi looked confused. "Bevy, that never happened." Bevy decided that the date was so good that she'd rather not ruin it by arguing. The walked up to the door and saw it was open. Bevy pushed it open and called for Ato. No answer. She looked around and saw the house ruined. "oh my god," she said resting eyes on Bera's body in the living room and Ato's in the kitchen through the whole. A second later, a kunai came flying out of nowhere and hit Itachi square between the eyes. "ITACHI!" Bevy felt some one grab her arms and hit her in the head for struggling. Sakura waltzed into view with blood on her shirt. "hi Bevy. I decided to have you restrained so that you don't put up as big of a fight as your friends did. We weren't expecting company," she said nudging Itachi with her foot. "Good thing every one else is dead or he would have posed a problem. That was for Sasuke!"
"Why are you doing this?" Bevy asked. "You're Kiyo's girlfriend!"
"Was," she said. "Now. I'm tired. Your little friends wore me out. Lets get this over with." Before the words, "you wouldn't dare" could come out of her mouth, Bevy was stabbed with the Athamay Sakura used to kill Kiyo. "No hard feelings girl," Sakura said as Bevy dropped to the ground. "Lets go Naruto! Oh wait. You stay." With that, she killed him with his own Fire Dragon no Jutsu. Sakura walked away from Ato's house never to be heard from or seen by another HUMAN soul again….in this lifetime…
