Chapter14: fighting goodbye.
Korena awoke feeling slightly dizzy but relieved to find shino laying next to her. she got up and walked into the restroom , wanting to wet her face , she had been sweating in her sleep.
She turned around. On the back of the door was a leaf pinned to the backing by a kuni.
"no. " she fell to the floor and began to sob.
When she gathered herelf an dwent out to the main room.took out some paper, scribbled on it then shoved it in shino's pack. She quickly dressed then snuck out the door. She stepped over kiba who's legs were spralled in the middle of the hallway.
He can sleep anywhere…and he snores loud. She giggled. He moved a little . covering her mouth she continued down the hall toward the out door pool.
Kibas nose started to twitch. He intched it… then he jumped up "maple trees"
He began to run down the hall following the sent.
"are you alone ?" the man stood in the pool atop the water.
Looking down she sighed.
"are you?"
"yes but your not." tweenty or so ninja jumped on to the cement around her and the pool. " what a shame did you think you couldn't do it yourself " she snickered " im a really that strong to you?"
she held her hands to her sides finger tips outstretched. A single ring of bubbles began to float about her waist. She twitched her fingers. They turned to kuni.
"korena!" it was kiba standing at the entrance gate her ran in. the gate slammed behind him.
"I see your not alone either my dear." He did a deep chuckle.
"I told you to stay away ," she gritted her teeth. " this isnt your fight"
"yes it is ! " he glared in her direction.
"we are to protect you…. Hinata, myself…."
"your protection stops now! I refuse it!" she flicked a finger. Kuni flew at him pinning him to a wall. The kuni used where replaced around her circling in a ring.
"maybe you didn't come alone , but you wish it so, maybe you are who I think you are."
"and you are as well, kabuto." Kiba's mouth fell agape. Kabuto! It was really the snake in the grass!
"so you knew… then why did you trail on , hidding behind a mask… pulling them on the shinobi."
" you wear the mask here , kabuto" he removed the mask throwing it to her feet, he pulled the capes hood down.
" you are as evil as your creation planned-" he gave an evil grin
"korena what is this?" kiba shouted.
"boy, has she not told you…" he laughed " you where played, you, the whole team was… she played you pawns to the greater player. Isnt it so?" he looked to korena.
"NO!" she threw her arms up. Kuni went everywhere killing over half of his troops. ' im not like you!"
"but you are… did you not have them stop here, to make it an easy drop point , wasn't it you who hurt the girl? Hmmm….. the leaves fall dim to your story korena… can you deny it more."
" no , im not you! " she screamed showing he spear then lundging at the other ninja present till they where dead.
Bloody and sweating she stood once again on the pool water across from kabuto, back turned from kiba. "you are wrong."
She looked up." You are like me, you just killed inocent men doing their job for your own greedy need to let off steam… you know who you are….and its not them." He pointed to kiba.
"korena don't listen to him!" kiba yelled you " you arent like him ."
" boy, quiet! " kabuto spit at him.
"im sorry… " she whispered. she fell to her knees, looking into her bloodstained hands she sobbed.
"was that so hard to say?" he walked to her smiling, extending a hand. " take it my dear"
she placed the hand in his pulling herself up.
" what are you doing! " kiba screamed
" I cant hide, who I am, what I was made for…" she said looking to him.
" what are you talking about?"
" did she not tell you? The information she cares the vital deathly information…. It is herself she is the weapon . she is the one who controls it all, she lead you on and doomed you all."
"no she didn't."
"yes, can you not see she isnt sideing with you here is she, what good do you see there, in playing your team…."
"she would never hurt hinata , myself….. she would never hurt….."
"do you think she cared about your lives?" he laughed " you people where just her pawns."
"that's not true, she might hurt me, and hinata, but she wouldn't hurt shino! She-"
" what loves him?" he laughed cant love…. But who I say , I control it, after all I gave her these." He held a bubble in his hand." the girl you once knew died."
"shino-" she whimpered , " I can't , I wont! He wants whats best ! its not you! She turned to attack him.
"we cant have her re-think this now can we." He shoved a needle in her back. " she will wake up at home." He let her fall to the ground.
"korena!"
"I warn you now stay out , or next time she will die." He then disapeared with her.
kiba ripped himself from the wall. And grabed a headband from one of the dead. Running back into the rooms.
"she's gone!"
" so orochimaru has her now.." hokage twitled her thumbs.
"we need her back" kiba said slaming his hands no her desk.
"we have no clues! We have nothing to tell us where she went! There are hundreds of places with maple trees! And it seems she doesn't want help being found she made her choice, at least none of my shinobi where hurt! That's the biggest thing to me!" she screamed in his face.
"your wrong…" kiba said looking down.
"what?"
"someone was hurt." He looked to shino.
That night as he was in his room. Shino fustrated was braking things.
" I could have done more! Why couldn't I save her! " he kept screaming. He threw is pack of the desk its contents spilled over the floor. On the middle was a open once folded paper. It read.
Shino-I love you.
It was signed korena. He picked it up and read it over and over again. Placing it in his pocket he promised.
"I will save you , this time!"
