Part 4

"Kukukuku…" chuckled Sasuke darkly, shaking his head and looking down at the ground. "I suppose… It's time for my special jutsu…"

As Misao prepared herself for the worst, Kenshin took a deep breath in and began thinking about what he could do to help.

'This doesn't look good, that it doesn't… First, perhaps I should get Yahiko, Sanosuke, and Kaoru away from here, then come back and help…' Kenshin nodded to himself on this plan, and quickly picked up Kaoru before turning to Yahiko and Sanosuke, both of whom had been engrossed in the battle. "Yahiko, Sanosuke, let's go!"

"Huh?" said both simultaneously.

"Right now, we need to get out of here." said Kenshin calmly. 'And then I'll sneak back.'

"… Right." Kenshin ran ahead, and Sanosuke and Yahiko followed, worried about the ninja they were leaving behind. Sasuke simply laughed.

"Kukukukuku…" Sasuke turned to Misao. "Your friends are abandoning you…"

"Hah! They probably know that I can stop holding back now!" exclaimed Misao, pointing her thumb towards herself.

"Your false bravado reminds me of the dobe's…" chuckled Sasuke. "Well then, what do you plan to do?"

"This! Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" yelled Misao. And then, hundreds upon thousands of clones appeared in the clearing. They all smirked.

"Ready to go down, bastard?" yelled the real Misao. Sasuke laughed and leapt up into the air.

"My turn! Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" yelled Sasuke, biting his thumb. A large poof of smoke appeared, and there stood a giant three headed snake, Sasuke perched on the middle head.

"Oh shit." muttered Misao. She shook her head rapidly and punched her palm. "We can beat this snake! Time for the Makimichi Misao combo!"

The clones readied themselves as Sasuke began preparing hand seals.

"MA!" A fifth of the clones kicked the snake. "KI!" Another fifth followed up with kicks of their own. "MI!" The next fifth of clones delivered more kicks. A different fifth leapt up into the air. "CHI!" The last grounded fifth of Misaos delivered the kicks that sent the snake, and Sasuke, flying. "MISAO RENDAN!" The airborne Misaos all kicked from above.

The Misaos all began floating to the ground as the snake poofed out of existence, back to the world of the summoning creatures. However, Sasuke was nowhere to be seen.

"KATON: GOUKAKYUU NO JUTSU!" The real Misao's eyes widened, and she looked up. There, above all the Misaos, was Sasuke. He took a deep breath in and unleashed an enormous fireball, destroying all of the clones and leaving Misao on the ground and burned. Sasuke landed near her, and walked over to her. He sat down on top of her, straddling her waist.

"Now what, bastard?" hissed Misao, growling when Sasuke pinned her arms with his. He just laughed.

"Kukukukuku…" chuckled Sasuke. "Think hard, real hard. You should know what happens to my 'victims' when they're in this position."

Misao's eyes widened.

"You'll…" Misao couldn't even finish the sentence, but her gaze was firm. Finally, she said it. "Rape me?"

Sasuke frowned.

"No. This." The shapes in Sasuke's eyes began changing and Misao realized what was about to happen, before she could shut her eyes though… "Tsuku-."

"GOT YA!" Sasuke turned and saw a barrage of shuriken flying at him. Then, the Misao he was sitting on grinned and vanished in a poof of smoke. It was a clone, but Sasuke couldn't go further on this, because the many shuriken hit him with such force that he was thrown into the trees.

The real Misao leapt out of the trees and ran towards where Sasuke's body was. Or rather, should have been, because when Misao arrived, all that remained were some broken logs.

"Kawarimi…" whispered Misao, and she turned around in hopes of seeing where Sasuke might have gone to. Instead, her eyes came face to face with Sasuke's.

"Tsukuyomi." said Sasuke, and Misao felt herself change. Shaking her head, she looked around and shivered. She was inside the world of the Tsukuyomi. It was obvious, because everything was red and black.

Misao began walking. Sasuke was gone and she was in some sort of dungeon. The Tsukuyomi was a technique only users of the Mangekyou Sharingan could use, along with the Ameratsu. To get the Mangekyou Sharingan, one must kill their best friend, or at least, kill them in their minds, making the former best-friend seem like nothing to them. While Sasuke had simply killed Naruto mentally, his older brother Itachi had killed his best friend Shisui.

The Tsukuyomi would seem like three days to her, in this red and black world of torture. In reality, only three seconds would pass and she'd most likely need a long recovery time. But she couldn't help wonder, why wasn't she being tortured?

"The answer, my dear, is simple…" came Sasuke's echoing voice. "I'm looking in your mind… To see what will hurt you the most…"

And right when that was said, appearing on stakes; bloody and bruised, were Shinomori Aoshi, Hannya, Shikijo, Hyottoko, Beshimi, Makimachi Misao, and Okina. The Oniwabanshu. Misao's eyes widened.

"Oh don't worry, I won't leave your new friends out either…" More stakes appeared, and on them came Kenshin and the rest, and those she had befriended in Konoha, which included Uzumaki Naruto, Konohamaru, Hyuuga Hanabi, and a few others. Misao attempted to run to them, when she realized that she was frozen solid. "And now, I begin…"

Misao could only watch as she saw each and every one of her precious people tortured, in the same fashion, over and over. Burning, light stabs, punch in the stomach, followed by rapid slices of a giant shuriken. After this, the "leftovers" of that person would fall to the ground.

As tears trailed down her cheeks and sobs began to wrack her body, Misao realized that Sasuke was out of people to kill in the Tsukuyomi. When she thought it might be over, she realized it had only just begun. Carrying the bloody shuriken, Sasuke walked over to her, and then he cut her into pieces. The pain was so real, so intense-

"Huh?" Misao's eyes went back and forth. She was whole again, but still in pain. And the stakes once more had people on them, the same as before.

"We've only been about forty five minutes you know. Kukukukuku…"

And it all began again.

-

Sasuke smirked and dropped Misao to the ground. Her eyes were wide, and she was just staring up at him.

"Time to finish you off… I think I know a fitting end for you… Kukuku…" Sasuke bit his thumb. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

Sasuke smirked as a four foot long snake appeared. He smeared some blood on it and it transformed into a sword. Sasuke picked it up and traced it along Misao's neck.

"Are you ready to die?" asked Sasuke, lifting the sword in the air.

"Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryuu: Ryuutsuisen Zan!" yelled a voice from behind Sasuke. He vanished in a poof of smoke, just as a blade came down on where he was.

"Who's there?" asked Sasuke, looking at the smoke as it faded away. As it cleared, he could make out the face of Misao's red haired friend from before. Himura Kenshin.

"I will be your opponent now."

End Note: Yes, the next chapter will feature Kenshin fighting. But I am having trouble writing it, so it may take a while.
