…
Me: HEY! Finally some reviewers! THANKS EVERYONE :D! And now since I am officially readdicted to fanfictions…HERE I GO! ENJOY THIS CHAPTER PEOPLE!
PS. IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!
…
Everyone stared at this traumatic scene above their heads. Even Kakashi's eyes were wide, and Sakura and Naruto's jaws were on the floor. Yuki's eyes narrowed and she smirked and closed her eyes. Yuji and Rokuro did not say a word, nor did their face expressions change. They just silently continued to watch the match.
Inner Sakura: WHHHHAAAAATT! HOW CAN THIS BE? HOW COME NARUTO GETS SASUKE'S FIRST KISS AND THIS GIRL GETS HIS SECOND KISS, AND I DON'T GET ANY KISSES FROM SASUKE-KUN AT ALL! THIS ISN'T FAIR! THIS ISN'T FAIR! WHY IS SHE EVEN KISSING HIM? THEY ARE AT MORTAL COMBAT! YEAH!
Naruto sweat dropped. What's with Sasuke when it comes to girls? I just don't get it.
He shrugged and looked back up, Kikyou's lips still on Sasuke's, pushing him slowly backwards, still in midair. Sasuke's eyes widened in horror.
It seemed like they were in the air forever, then Kikyou released her lips as Sasuke crashed to the ground, making no effort to pull himself up and Kikyou landed gracefully beside him.
"COME ON SASUKE!" Naruto screamed angrily. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? GET UP! THIS IS A BATTLE! BEAT HER! YOU PROMISED TO WIN, DIDN'T YOU SASUKE?"
Sasuke lied on the ground, his body sprawled, with a look of emptiness in his eyes. Kikyou looked down on him and her finger lightly touched the scar on her lip, where she then started to laugh softly.
"What just happened?" Naruto asked. "Sasuke was just fine before she kissed him! What's wrong with him now?" he looked over at Sakura who was in total confusion.
"A secret trump card?" Kakashi asked.
Yuki nodded. "The scar she has on her lip makes it so that whenever she wants to, as long as her lips are on her opponent, it can suck out chakra and energy altogether." She closed her eyes and crossed her arms. "Of course, it's not like Kikyou to just kiss some random person out of her own will. She only uses this technique when absolutely necessary."
"How does it work, then?" Kakashi asked.
Yuki shrugged. "Her advanced bloodline." She paused and kept staring ahead. "It's powerful. She's very strong for her standards."
Kakashi nodded. "I can see that." He looked from the battle, back to Yuki's concerned face. "Does that mean…?"
Yuki nodded without looking him in the face. "Yes."
Both of them looked back at the match. Kikyou walked over to Sasuke's weak body. He trembled as he tried to gather his strength to get up.
Dammit. He thought bitterly. Most of my chakra is all gone, as well as my strength. I have to make every last bit count.
Kikyou didn't move. She stood a few meters ahead of him totally still, doing nothing but staring. Sasuke's forehead wrinkled as he charged forward, using up all his strength in a mere second, and collapsing after a few steps. Kikyou moved forward. Sasuke looked at her while falling to the ground. This was the end. He hadn't the strength to go on.
Right in front of his face, Kikyou stared him right in the eyes, her eyes burning into his. "Shisshin." She whispered. Her eyes widened and became glazed over the same icy bright blue colour. She stared right at Sasuke and all life fell out of his eyes. Before Sasuke could crash to the ground, Kikyou caught him by the shoulders, then picked him up by the neck.
"This is it." She whispered. She looked up at him, her eyes still glazed over. His head tilted down lifelessly, his eyes wide open. Her eyes burned into his, then she suddenly widened her eyes and trembled with fear.
"Mom? Dad? Anyone home?"
"Nii-chan! Mom and dad are…!"
"Why would you do this?"
"If you want to kill me, hate, detest."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
He's running away…
Kikyou started shaking even more violently, then finally calmed herself. She raised her arm, and dropped Sasuke, knocking him out of the trance.
Sasuke raised himself to a sitting position and looked around.
"What's going on?" he murmured to himself. "My head…" he widened his eyes in horror and started trembling. He gripped his hands on his head, his mouth hung open, but no words came out. He had a look of absolute terror on his face. Kikyou looked down at him, and lowered her eyes. Then she turned around and walked away.
He looked up and saw Kikyou. His trembling ceased a bit, but it wasn't very noticeably. His forehead cringed. "Hey! Where do you think you're going? We have a battle to finish!"
Kikyou walked away from him and didn't look back at all. She stopped in her steps.
"There is no battle to finish. You win. I give up." She turned her head and looked back at him, no emotion on her face. "You were able to keep your promise after all."
And with that, she walked away, no one stopping her when she was out of view. Totally out of the forest. Sasuke snarled.
"She's not getting away like that."
He slowly steadied himself up, very shakily, his body had became very fragile, then took off, running right after her.
Kakashi looked at Yuki. "Was that it?"
Yuki nodded. "Hai. Her bloodline limit. It's a special technique, like sharingan or byakugan. It can't do any good with physical attacks, like sharingan helps copy moves, or how byakugan helps you view everything miles away and chakra points."
"Shisshin." Kakashi guessed.
Yuki nodded and looked at him. "Right. The trance eyes."
"I thought those were just legendary?"
Yuki leaned over. "She's got them. And its caused her a helluva lot of trouble in her past. But it's a very powerful weapon in battle. It puts the opponent in a trance, then recollects terrifying moments of their past and alters the brains signal, making them seen a million times more horrifying than usual. Making them more vivid and real, as if you've gone back in time, and causes physiological damage. The shaking and trembling displayed by Sasuke were the effects. If she wanted to, she could have him go insane, and kill himself."
Kakashi widened his eyes. Naruto and Sakura rushed over.
"She could WHAT?" Naruto gasped. "Is she that strong?"
Yuki nodded. "Yes, but it's a good thing she'd never use these powers for the wrong purpose. Also, sometimes instead of causing damage, it can just be conveniently used to look inside a person and gather information of their personality, lifestyle, thoughts, things you could only find out if you were to ask them yourself. It's a very powerful weapon, more powerful than sharingan or byakugan…in the wrong hands, it could be absolutely deadly."
Naruto gulped. "But…she's on our side right?"
Yuki smiled nervously. "Of course. She's an intelligent girl and knows her morals." Yuki stared ahead nervously. But then again, why didn't she finish him off, or take it to the next level at least? She gave up the battle and walked away. That's not like Kikyou at all. I wonder what she saw in his eyes…
Sakura's eyes were wide with fear. He went to chase after her. What if she finishes him off? What if its already too late? I have to go see, I have to help Sasuke! He's in real danger!
Without saying a word, Sakura turned around, and started running in the direction of Sasuke and Kikyou, but before she got anywhere, Kakashi zoomed in front of her and halted her.
"Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Don't."
She widened her eyes. "But Sasuke-kun is…"
Kakashi shook his head. "Sasuke will be fine. But there's nothing you can do, regardless of the situation. And besides, it's your turn to battle."
Sakura gulped. Now? After seeing that battle? What if the other two are just as strong as Kikyou? I'll be beaten for sure!
"Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura exclaimed. "The battles aren't even important now! Sasuke-kun might be in danger and…!" she was cut off when Kakashi put his hand against her mouth.
He saw her eye to eye. "Sasuke will be fine. There will be no more fighting between the two. Not for a while at least. You heard Yuki-sensei. Kikyou knows her morals. She wouldn't start a random battle in the middle of no where, especially after her last battle had officially ended. And Sasuke won anyways. Now it's your turn."
Sakura didn't flinch, but looked ahead sadly. "But Kakashi-sensei."
Kakashi smiled. "Believe in me Sakura."
Sakura looked at him, unsure of what to do. Then she nodded and smiled sincerely. She turned around and walked back to Naruto.
"Those two will be fine. I'm sure of it." Kakashi assured everyone. "I think we should commence the next battle."
"Um, right." Yuki said, out of her thinking. "The next opponent is Haruna Sakura. Which one of you two wants to--?" she got cut off as Rokuro stepped forward.
"I'd be honored to battle next." Rokuro said deeply, his eyes melting Sakura's.
Sakura was speechless and started blushing again. "O-oh? You w-would?" she said looking at her feet, playing with her fingers.
Rokuro walked towards her and bowed. Sakura stammered but finally bowed back. He grabbed her hand and kissed it lightly.
Inner Sakura: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Naruto: SERIOUSLY WTF!
"Please to be in your presence Sakura-san."
Sakura's jaw hung open, then she closed it and smiles innocently. "Th-th-thank you Rokuro-kun! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" she laughed aimlessly, while sweatdropping.
"Now that we're all good," Yuki started while stepping forward. "I will now start this battle."
Sakura and Rokuro stared eachother in the eye with a look of total seriousness.
"Begin!"
