"Just..Go..seriously..Run damnit!" The mere frustration of trying to hold back any urges to shed blood tired her quickly, ' If he doesn't leave soon..' Her eyes shifted to look over at him, her mind becoming unable to control her body as time passed.
Kakashi stood there for a short amount of time, 'Should I go..stay? What if she needs me?..But..she's going to try to kill me..but..I don't want to just leave her..'
"LEAVE!" Her voice was forceful, nothing like her, she was desperate for him to go..he only had a few minutes, if lucky, to get out of site..and at least attempt a get-away. "If you don't leave right now.." She turned to look at him, wide slits..a demonic color stared at him. "I WILL ..kill you.."
Kakashi nearly fell over, she looked..scary!..not Sheiri-like..but he still didn't want to go. Stubborn. "Sheiri..threaten me all you would like..but, I'm not going to leave..I told you.."
She was close to losing it all, her eyes only widened, and if there wasn't rain, there would be a single tear falling to the ground. " ...Fine.." Without warning, she turned heel and ran, quickly, without stopping. 'Running away..you'd think I'd get tired of this.but, it seems like my life now..I'm sorry, Kakashi...but, this isn't something you can deal with..nor I'
"Sheiri!" He started to run towards her, only to have a shuriken thrown on the ground in front of him, he stopped quickly, staring at Shiro, eyes narrowed in the falling rain.
"Don't be in such a rush..She'll be back..The demon doesn't rest until it tastes you're blood..if you're lucky..It may just kill ya' quickly." He grinned, "Besides..I figured she would run..if you were so dumb as to not..Either case, you'll both die in the end.." He cracked his knuckles, then his neck.."well then..Let's go.."
Sheiri ran fast, though the demon tried to hold her back, but her will was strong, and she didn't want to kill him..of all people, definitely not him..Tears had been streaming down her face, the mere thought of that made her want to die.. 'Aruka..I'm such a coward..a failure..I'm so sorry' This was it..her body shifted, falling limp, and a cold laugh arose from those frail lips..no more tears..no more fear..just bloodlust..
"Mother! hey! Where are you?" Shakara ran around madly, the rain giving a large effect on her vision, since she barely went outside when it rained. "Hello? Mom!" Shakara was drenched, anymore could cause her to catch a cold.
Kakashi's head rose slightly, hearing a faint voice, "Shaka--" he was stopped, attacked by Shiro..again. The next thing he heard was her scream..
"EWW!" Shakara yelled, sitting up from falling into the mudd puddle. "Mom's going to KILL me..She loves this outfit!" Damn you Rain!" she stuck a fist in the air, staring up at the clouds..their only response was a drop of rain to the head.
She blinked, standing up and attempting to brush herself off. "Gah..what luck.." She blinked, lookig squintingly through the trees, "Mom! Hey!" She started to run towards her, but something made her stop. 'This feeling..what is it?..She's..it's not her.she looks different..' Her feet locked, feeling eyes lock upon her, and the 'Thing' ran towards her..but not for a warm welcome, either.
"Shakara!" Kakashi yelled, hitting the girl out of the way, just in time to get a large wound upon his chest, he rolled onto the ground, ragaing himself once again.
"Kakashi...What's going on..why is mommy..?" She stared at her mom, staring at him like prey..There was no bright smile, the one she usually had. The one that lit up the world everytime Kakashi came within range. There was only hunger..and Shakara didn't like it..This wasn't her mom..it was some kind of..evil..
"Sheiri! Fight! C'mon!" Kakashi yelled, dodging frontal attacks while manuevering themselves away from Shakara, but land was running out, they were heading towards a small cliff, which dropped off into a river below.
"Kakashi!" Shakara ran towards the two, not helping Kakashi in his plan. Kakashi had lost his mask, the rain had waieghed it down so much it just fell off whilst he was running, his hair plastered to his face with water..it'd be hard to put back up..
They had been running for a while now, Sheiri only had one or two major wounds, but Kakashi wasn't in such luck. "Sheiri! Come on! Snap out of it!" he yelled, recieving another blow to the rib cage by her knee. He gasped for some air, regaining composure in time to block another hit, this time giving her a bruise on the face. It killed him..not literally, but inside..
Sheiri was fighting, those hits she dealt, were nothing in comparison to what could occur. 'I feel so helpless...unable to control myself..my own body..'
'Yes, you are pathetic..so just give in..let me take over your body..' the demon whispered ,as if taunting her with her own past, 'You're love died..all because of you..if you give in..I just may spare the child..'
Sheiri's eyes closed, her whole body pausing. Kakashi back up slightly, staring at her. The only movement was her head, it turned, staring toward the cliff just to the side of them. Sheiri regained her legs..she knew she could make it..if she just put all her energy into it. 'Get out of my body..or I'll do it..kill us both..'
'You'd risk your life to save this man?'
'I would..'
'Then do it..I'm not leaving'
Kakashi stared toward where she looked, eyes widening slightly. "Sheiri! no you ca--" Without warning, she ran towards the cliff, and he ran after her, "Sheiri! No!"
Sheiri ran fast, arguing with the demon, 'Stop this! You wouldn't kill yourself over this! He's human!'
'So am I..have you forgotten? Human emotions are the same. We would all die for those we love, even if we're not willing to admit it..that's what you don't understand..you see?'
The demon made a small growling noise, 'You humans are stupid! Die! See if I care! At this speed, and distance from the cliff, you won't stop in time..'
Kakashi stared at her, almost as suddenly getting blown back a few feet, "What the..?" A demon had flown out from the blast, whispering something before dissappearing off through the rain. "That thing..It..left her?" He looked to see Sheiri, struggling for a stop before the cliff.
"Gah!..no..stop feet, stop!" was the only thing running through her mind right now. She edged closer to the cliff, feet sliding across the ground. 'Yes..gonna make it..' Her eyes widened, staring down the cliff as her feet lost grasp of the ground. Her body turned, staring up, as a hand flew helplessly into the air, another coming close to grabbing it, but missing. She closed her eye, feeling gravity pull her down, "Kakashi..Shakara.."
It's said that when you die, you're whole life flashes before your eyes..well, they were wrong. Sheiri only saw painfuls memories of her life...and the face of the ones she loved...Aruka..Shakara..Kakashi..She didn't feel pain, and the sensation of falling had ended..'This must be death..' She thought, only to open her eyes..
The rain had blurred her vision, and she looked down to see the river. ."But..how?" She was at the bottom of the cliff, hanging down from something..something had grabbed her hand, she looked up, eyes widening slightly, "Kakashi?..but how?"
He just gave some weird form of smile, "That was close, eh?" He was hanging from the cliff..he had used a Jutsu..
"You Idiot! You could've fell too! Then what!"
He laughed slightly, "Well worth the risk..I mean..not much of a life without you!" He gave a smile, pulling her up.
"Kakashi.." She smiled, small tears filling her eyes, she wrapped her arms around his neck once he pulled her up high enough. She stared at him for a moment, "Thank you.."
"For what? Just keeping a promise.." He blinked slightly, then widened his eyes, getting a kiss from her. surprised, and satisfyingly happy, he lost thought, losing his balance of chakra.
Both their eyes bulged this time, Grabbing onto each other for dear life. Kakashi blinked, his foot being grabbed quickly. They both looked up.
"Kakashi-sensei! Sheiri! Can't you guys get a room?"
"Yeah!" said another voice, standing by the other.
Both their eyebrows twitched, one yelling Naruto's name, the other yelling out Shakaras.
"Yeah yeah...I know..Let's get these two up.." Naruto said, looking over at Shakara, who nodded.
