Hello everyone, sorry this chapter took so long to write. I started a day ago then stopped then I finished it today, since it's a really short chapter (as all my chapters are short lol). This part gets a lot of action and blood w/gore…yes I'm sorry if some of you don't like this stuff and I'll try to be less descriptive next time. I think the short stubby battle scene was pretty dull, but who knows…you guys might like it. Sayonara! P.S: The story will be ending in a few chapters so get ready for a dramatic ending. (P.S.S: I'm not good at writing dramatic endings.) P.S.S.S: I have never written an ending…this will be the first story I have finished. P.S.S.S.S: Check out my other story, Running Water, for those people who like Haku. P.S.S.S.S.S: Maybe a Naruto/Hinata one…or is that too popular? P.S.S.S.S.S.S: Or maybe one story with various couples…you people decide.

Chapter Twelve: Blood and Gore

Sasuke put his hand over Hinata's mouth; it still had a little amount of knock out powder successfully knocking her out. "Don't worry Hinata…I'll take care of him so we can love each other." He whispered into Hinata's ear.

"Get away from her." Said Kiba

"And what is little doggy boy going to do?" asked Sasuke as he helped himself up and fixing his shirt and pants.

"I'm going to kick your ass." Said Kiba

"Do you really think a loser like you can beat me?" asked the annoyed Sasuke. "He's right…could I really win against him?" Kiba asked himself. "But there is not other way…I have to save Hinata…no matter what she was doing with Sasuke." Kiba said in his mind. "Get ready dog boy." Said Sasuke. Kiba formed some signs, "Jūjin Bunshin!" said Kiba while bending down on all fours then Akamaru jumped on his back turning into a perfect clone of Kiba. "Shikyaku no Jutsu!" shouted Kiba after preforming his previous jutsu. "Sharingan!" Sasuke said to himself when he activated the powerful kekkei genkai of the Uchiha clan. Sasuke's bloodshot eyes met with Kiba's dog-like face. "With my Sharingan, I can see every move you make, not matter how fast you are." Said Sasuke. Kiba didn't answer he just gave him a a dog-like leer signaling whether he or Sasuke will start the battle. Sasuke, rushed toward Kiba with speed attampting to kick Kiba himself or Akamaru who stands on top of him. Sasuke's attemp failed as Kiba's increased speed and senses enables him to move faster, than before. Kiba countered by trying to slash Sasuke's feet with his claws, Sasuke jumped….avoiding serious injury. But in the air, Akamaru(still as a Kiba clone) spun rapidly(like when he uses Gatsūga but without Kiba) grazing Sasuke's right leg, his claws tearing deepinto Sasuke's leg ripping the threads of flesh and muscle apart. Blood dripped from Sasuke's leg, staining Akamaru's grey-ish coat. Sasuke stopped in mid-air, "Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu" he shouted while blowing globes of fire out of his mouth. "Crap." Said Kiba as he jumped up to save Akamaru from the blast. Sizzle, Kiba's coat burned as the fire touched his skin. Kiba sniffed the air, he smelt burnt cloth and a familiar smel…his blood. It seems Sasuke had hidden shuriken in the globs of fire that he had spit at Kiba. Akamaru, whined, asking if Kiba is okay, Kiba lightly nodded at Akamaru. Kiba squatted on the ground valiantly with the loyal Akamaru standing next to him while the wounded Sasuke struggled to stay on the tree he landed on, his blood flowed off the branch of the tree. "How could I let him get me like that?" Sasuke asked himself. "With this wound…I won't last in this battle very long." Sasuke thought. "Having thoughts of failure already." Said Kiba

"Heh…yeah right." Said Sasuke trying to look cool.

"Then why don't you come at me?" asked Kiba

"Because…" said Sasuke, he didn't have a reason to tell Kiba, he failed his "look cool" thing. Suddenly, Sasuke was hit off the tree, "But how?" he asked himself. As he fell off he saw Kiba, he then looked back, only seeing Akamaru and a puff of smoke. " A bushin." Thought Sasuke. Sasuke, hit the ground hard, " I will really have to finish this fast." Thought Sasuke. The battle went on, Sasuke and Kiba exchanging hits, both of them wearing each other down.

Hinata's POV

The light returned to my closed eyes, I could move my body, but I was not at full mobility. I could hearing shorting and heavy breathing around me. I could hear a dog bark, a familiar bark….Akamaru! I opened my eyes, Kiba was infront of my, covered in heavy wounds and Sasuke stood across from him, his leg covered in blood. The blood's smell lifted into the air, making me want to puke. I looked at Kiba again…Kiba, tears collected in my eyes, why would you do this for me? I freed myself from the bindings on my arms and legs. I have to stop this now…b-before…Kiba…

Third Person POV

"Hinata's awake…I have to finish this now…if I kill Kiba now, no one will love her but me…she'll come to me…she'll love me." He thought. Sasuke formed some hand signs, chakra collected in his hand, there was a loud chriping noise coming from it. Chakra in the form of lighting was emitted from Sasuke's hand, "Chidori!" said Sasuke in his head.
