----------------------------------------

The dust flew everywhere, covering the whole block. The two stood there, nervously waiting for the dust to settle. Slowly the dust calmed down, settling to the rough dirt ground. Riku's eyes widened when she was greeted by a pair of red eyes, with a shade of green around his eyes.

"You…!" She chanted possessed by his eyes

He smiled evilly.

Chiko on the other hand just stood there, kind of confused yet she knew what was going on. She was getting pissed, she hated silence in the middle of a battle, and by now she had it. She quickly grabbed her kunai and charged for the man that stood in front of the other two.

"DIE BASTARD!" She yelled crazily gripping her kunai tightly some blood trickled down from her hand, she eyed down the man that stood there emotionlessly, as if he didn't know the meaning of death. All he did was smile back at the angry girl.

She swung her kunai at him furiously with all her might, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye. Here eyes widened, then she jumped back to where Riku stood, frozen in thought.

"Riku, Riku… RIKU!" Chiko yelled shaking her, but she just stood there eyes wide and not blinking.

"Damnit!" Chiko shouted leaving Riku be.

"Nature Manipulation: Dirt transformation GENJUTSU!" She yelled slapping her hands together then placed on the floor. Suddenly huge slabs of dirt flew from the floor and aimed at the three mist ninjas, Chiko was satisfied with what she did. Only a few hit the ninjas but the rest was easily dodged, the field was chaotic, buildings fell, trees were cut everything was as flat as could be, just like any other deadly battle field.

"Wow, pretty impressive Chiko" The man smirked brushing the dirt off his shirt

Chiko grinned

"Isamu, hurry and end it. We need to back up the main forces." A women ordered from behind him

"Yea, you can go first. I want to have some fun, Indara…" He forcefully said

"…"

"Kaede, do you want to go?..." Indara questioned

"Well…I think we should help Isamu… they might be stronger then they seem" Kaede answered

"Ok…" Indara said looking at Isamu with the 'lets go' look.

The three charged at the only person that was in action (Chiko), Kaede formed a few seals until she disappeared, Indara jumped into a shadow then disappeared along with Kaede whilst Isamu just stood there smiling at Chiko.

"What the..?" Chiko shouted looking around, slowly moving around cautiously

"RIKU! WAKE UP!" Chiko yelled

"…"

"Damnit!" Chiko said, biting her thumb until blood trickled down then formed a seal slapping her hands to the ground,

"Ninpo, Hayate Nature Summoning Technique!" and poof, smoke filled the air, then a leopard/women appeared.

"Heh…" Chiko smiled the lifted her hands ordering her summoned monster to run in circles around Isamu throwing kunai leaves everywhere. Chiko then ran up to Riku and ran away from the oblivious attack taking place in the now dead field.

Chiko starred at her frozen friend, pissed. She slapped Riku hard across the face then slapped her face again until she snapped back to reality.

"What…Chiko" Riku chanted opening her real eyes open

Riku's eyes widened when she saw Chiko covered in dirt and blood, her clothes cut up yet she was still smiling.

"Are you ok?" Chiko said shaking Riku a bit

"Yeah…What happened!"

"You froze from shock, or someth-"

Then suddenly a kunai raced towards them, but Riku stood up and caught it by the hole behind the sharp point, twirling it in the air with her finger. She grinned, then stood her ground, with determination in her eyes.

"Chiko, I'm sorry and…Lets go!" She ordered looking over at Chiko nodding. They then jumped off through the dust then met up with the three who were standing still with their clothes cut up, blood trickling down their bodies, still acting as if nothing happened almost as if the cuts were nothing to them.

"What are they?..." Chiko questioned

"Their defiantly not human…" Riku answered, giving the 'lets go' look at Chiko, and in a blink of an eyes they engaged into a fight with the mist ninjas.

"Ninpo, Illusion Genjutsu!" Riku yelled, then her body went blurry, in the enemies eyes they would see at least 5 of her burring closer to them. Kaede stood there looking around, a bit nervous but still engaged into the battle yet standing in the background. Riku jumped from the corner at her, gripping her fists tightly with chakra leaking from her palm aiming at her head, finally she hit. Kaede flew back dragging on the rough dirt floor, arms and legs scratched, face bruised and chakra almost out.

"I… Wont let you HURT MY FRIENDS!" She yelled!

Riku was stopped for a bit, remembering that was exactly what she said back in the forest, she was almost like her, she wants to protect the people that matters to her, but compared to her teamate she was just a little part of the group.

"I know what you feel like…" Riku frowned

"No you don't! You don't know what it feels like to be in a team of stronger people, while you just a little part of it!" She yelled

"Yes I do… I use always be protected, standing in the background."

"But, You don't understand what it is like to want to be stronger! When your to weak to gain power yourself!" Kaede yelled now running up to Riku straight up ready to punch.

Riku noticed this and took her stance, when she was just about to swing her a punch, Riku grabbed her fist. She then swung her other fist, but Riku got her other hand and took hold of her fist.

"Why… WHY WONT YOU JUST DIE?" Kaede yelled out of control

'she is exactly like me… before I became this.' Riku thought

"Look! I know what you feel like! I use to be just like you, striving for power, to do anything to gain it. Wanting to protect those who are important to you. BUT YOU ARE ONLY HUMAN!" Riku yelled pushing her away,

"People dream, always chase a dream that'll never come true, that's why they will never get anywhere and die along the way! I use to walk that path, and saw things along the way to what I called 'the end'!" Riku shouted while a drop of water fell from her eyes

Kaede just stood there with her full attention to Riku,

"I'm sorry…" Riku cryed,

Kaede looked up then noticed Riku was gone, until she felt a palm hit the back of her neck, slowly the world became dark consuming her. Riku caught her before she fell, then placed her on the ground, resting peacefully for the moment.

Indara took a glance around from her battle and say Kaede on the floor and Riku standing not far away from the still body, her eyes widened, Kaede was her friend that said she would always be by her side no matter what, even if it costed her life.

"KAEDE!" Indara yelled rushing towards Riku who stood nearby

Riku looked up and saw yet another body charge at her.

"Damnit…"

"She was my good friend, I promised that I'd always protect her! No matter what!" She yelled crazily charging at Riku

Riku jumped back away from the angry nin, then fell to a crouching position.

"So was Amaya," Riku frowned

"Don't lay a finger on Kaede! She is my best friend!"

"But, you did that same thing to my friend, Amaya. You could say this is Karma!" Riku looked up

"I don't need to waste my words on you!" Indara yelled forming a seal

"Nibi no Nekomata!"

Suddenly two faded tailed appeared behind Indara, it was surrounded by what seemed a dark blue chakra.

"I will protect those who are precious to me!" Indara yelled charging at her

Riku just took her stance and stood back, she noticed that the chakra surrounding her was no ordinary chakra, it seemed possessed by some evil spirit sealed whitin her.

"Nibi no Nekomata… The two tailed cat demon?" She questioned

"Yes the Nibi no Nekomata is the two tailed cat demon that obliterated the Mist alliance, cutting half of its population down. Then it was sealed within me, I'm special, unlike you." She smiled

"Special my ass, you're a monster to me!" She yelled running up to the charging being.

Riku ran from side to side, ready to taker her from the side. Whilst Indara just full on straight charged at her.

"DIE!" she swung her arms, into a cross then released it causing a strike of chakra blasting at Riku.

She noticed this and jumped up into the air, as far away from any effect of the attack what so ever.

"Damnit, I can't compete with this crazy power!" She yelled at herself falling down from the sky

"That's it! Indara! When I use this, that means you'll never come out alive!" Riku yelled landing on the ground crouching staring at the person not to far away from her

"SHARINGAN!"
