Chapter 7 – Defeat.
It wasn't going so well in the middle part of the village where a few of the stronger enemy ninja were, outnumbering the allied ninja of course.
Yukai had been injured when she took a hit for Wolfgang. Her right arm was now of no use to her, it'd been broken at the elbow and her left leg had been staved badly when she took a fall to dodge an attack.
Those who'd come to aide them were doing a good amount of damage to the enemy.
Her eyes went from watching the others fight to a incoming kunai which she wouldn't be able to dodge in time and if it hit, it'd be likely to pierce a lung, next she knew she was pushed out of the way by Kaiser who was now lying on the ground without any signs of movement the kunai had hit him hard in the head with the handle part when he'd blocked it and was now knocked out. She felt an anger so strong within her she had the urge to kill every single enemy in sight. She looked up to the few enemies who were making their way over to her.
"Awww poor little twerp lost a friend. What a pity." One of them said with a grin. Sakura had caught sight of what was happening and called over to Mairiel. Mairiel shook her head, Yukai would be fine, she advised the others to let her be otherwise they'd get hurt.
Within minutes Yukai's chakra began to build rapidly which struck fear in the enemy a little bit.
"Oh? Wh-what's this? This little tiny…whelp thinks-she can do s-something to us?" Another guy said ready to strike at her. Yukai growled under her breath, she never took kindly to those that decided to torment her like they were doing, and she was pissed off with what they'd done to Kaiser.
She stood up to her full height, her teeth had once again went into a fang form, her eyes shadowed by the long bangs at the front, they had changed in colour from a autumn brown colour to a fiery orange colour, almost passing for a brightly coloured amber.
Her nails had grown long and pointy again while her ears got a little pointy at the top, looking like a youkai's ear. This scared the men a bit more, it's when the girl was overcome by what looked like indigo coloured chakra and grew two chakra like tails they got terrified and were about to run from her.
"Going somewhere?" She snapped, speaking in a low eerie tone of voice. Before either of the men could answer she'd broken one of their necks and slashed across the others spine.
She was now so pissed off that the two-tail cat demon had taken her over, it'd managed to re-arrange the broken bone in her elbow by holding it together with its chakra until she got it seen to.
"Ne she looks scarier than what Gaara did when he transformed into bits of that raccoon." Naruto muttered only to get a glare from a certain sand ninja.
"Gee thanks." He muttered back at Naruto.
"She may look scary, but she's hardly changed in form." Sasuke said.
"She can be dangerous when that thing over takes her but it's rare for it to appear like it has done." Mairiel said while giving her opponent a blow to the head with a fist.
"However, she does recognise her enemies from her allies so we won't have anything to worry about."
"Thank god for that." Phanexiel added.
"How'd she end up with it?" Naruto asked.
"She's had it since birth we reckon. Kaiser's the only one that knows how it happened and such. Yukai's the last of her clan and she was the only one with that cat demon in her. Kaiser was the one who found her at a young age and since then he's helped bring her up she only ever lets him and Wolfgang know things."
"Oh,"
'Perhaps she had the same thing done to her as Gaara and I had.' Naruto thought. It seemed impossible any other way.
The demon that had taken Yukai over was now gone back into dormant mode within the girl, it had done its job.
"That looks to be the last of them." Sasuke said. He scanned the middle part one last time before they all headed to the north, taking those who were injured with them. When they reached the destination they found that everyone who was left from the fights were already there.
"Who's all injured from this group?" A medic ninja asked them.
"She's got a broken elbow and badly staved leg and he's been knocked out." Mairiel said passing the younger girl to the medic while Wolfgang took Kaiser to where the girl was going.
"Heh I think this village could do with a few more medic nins," Mari stated looking at the ground which had a lot of injured ninja.
"You said it, the hospital's packed!" came her team mates voice from the side.
"You're still conscious?" Mari asked. She didn't expect Reiji of all people to fight sensibly that he'd still be conscious.
"Heeeeeey…" He protested. "I'm hurt."
"Good for you." She replied back with a smirk. She didn't mean it literally she liked to tease him.
"I'm going to go sit and cry now."
"You big baby." She laughed.
Hours later the Arashi-Kage had finally came to Konoha along with a few of their village's healing teams. They were needing as many healing squads as they could get, Gaara had sent out for medical teams in his own village to come to Konoha to.
"I can't believe that the fight took so long." Elijah complained as he sat down with his arm in a sling, his legs in bandages as well as his chest and his head wrapped in a single bandage.
"I can't believe you talk so big and end up looking like a mummy." Mairiel sighed. It was true, Elijah usually said stuff that got him into bother, and this was just proving it.
"I'll deal with you when I can move my other arm." He said in a low voice not noticing her older brother behind him.
"Do that and you won't have any other arm," He replied to Elijah.
"Do you two always fight?" Sakura asked Mairiel. Mairiel shook her head.
"Nah, he just likes to take it far." She explained with a small grin as Elijah once again jumped into the conversation he was silenced by Phanexiel soon enough though.
It wasn't until later that day that everyone was clear to go and to the training grounds to talk among themselves.
"So what will you all do when you get back to your village?" Mari asked a couple of the others beside her.
"Ah probably train a bit more, I'm in a team with a strict enough leader." Uka replied glancing to Fury with a playful glare. Fury was the team leader and was indeed strict about the training. She and Torakiel usually tried to keep a bunshin around so they sneak off and do something that was a bit more fun but Fury could see past them at times.
"I'll be the same." Dea smirked. "Then again usually getting they two perverts on my team to train isn't at all difficult."
"No?" Mari asked.
"Nope, they're both into me…and it's annoying, but if it gets them to train with each other then I haven't really got a choice but to be at the training to… otherwise I'd be off doing something else."
"I see."
Meanwhile at another part of the group Mairiel wasn't wanting to leave the Konoha village, it was more fun here than back at the Thunder village.
"Heh, wish I could just stay here buuuut I guess I'll have to go along with visiting the place." She said to Sakura.
"Yeah, you're more fun to have around than these two." She giggled.
"Sakura-chan you didn't mean that right?" Naruto asked with the comical water filled chibi eyes.
"I mean it! You and Sasuke usually just have a go at each other and I'm stuck in the middle of it. It does get annoying you know." She replied calmly. Sasuke couldn't help but laugh at Naruto's expression now. He decided to ask Sakura something, that would get the dobe's expression going into a more hilarious one.
"Sakura."
"Yes, Sasuke-kun?"
"Would you like to…go out with me tomorrow night for dinner?"
Naruto's jaw hit the floor, did he just beat him to Sakura?
"Y-yeah." Sakura was surprised at the Uchiha for even asking her such a question.
Naruto's jaw seemed to dig into the dirt a bit, had he just heard Sakura agreeing to go out with him? Everyone had soon burst into a little bit of laughter from Naruto's reaction.
Three hours later it was time for the remaining Thunder village ninja to return home and help with fixing the place up. It was in a worse way than Konoha had been. They never did find out who the enemy was but they must have been out there still somewhere.
Kami and Dea's team waited at the gates while Arashi-Kage, Tsunade and Gaara spoke. The other groups from Konoha stood at the gates to, to see them off.
"If you want to we could lend you a hand in fixing up your village?" Tsunade said to the other female kage, who agreed to it.
"Sure, the more help the better."
"I'll bring along some of my ninja's to come and help to." Gaara said a smile placing itself on his face.
"Great. Right, well. We'd best be off. I'll be in contact as soon as I get back." Erika replied.
"Alright, take care."
"We will. You two take care as well. Bye."
Erika turned away from them heading to the six awaiting her and walked passed them, they began to follow behind her, Mairiel stopping for a moment to turn back and wave back at the already waving bunch of Konoha and three sand ninja.
"Mairiel! Will you quit stalling." Elijah shouted from the distance which they now stood at. It brought her back into her usual self-mode as she turned from them and ran to catch up hitting the blonde haired boy over the head when she reached them. They soon walked out of sight and on home.
A couple of sighs were shared among the Konoha ninja, Tsunade studied them carefully.
"What's wrong with you all?"
"Ah nothing, just a few of us miss our new friends." Naruto whined.
"Is that all?" Tsunade grinned.
"Hm? What?"
"When I said to the Arashi-Kage that 'we' could lend a hand in fixing the village I meant you lot."
"What! Really?" Naruto shouted now excited about it.
"Yep, really."
"Sugoi! When do we go!" He asked now jumping up and down on the spot.
"Naruto, they just left the village, they won't get back to theirs until tomorrow probably." Sakura said while hitting him over the head as usual. Sasuke smirked as well as the rest of them.
"In any case we don't have much work to do on our own village. So we'll get it all done quickly." Tsunade informed them as she headed off.
"We'll stay and help." Gaara said.
"Great! Let's get to work!" Naruto said still excited and bounced off happily to help with fixing up part of the village, the others following him still a little exhausted from the fighting that stopped some hours ago.
