Discalimer: I don't own Naruto!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She drew her wakazashi and stabbed Kabuto through the chest. Kabuto looked at her in shock one last time and slumped. Haru jerked the blade out diagonally. She wiped the blade off on his shirt. There was a rumbling. The doors that Orochimaru had left through opened once again and Orochimaru himself walked through them.
"Well done little sister…" Orochimaru said quietly, "I must say I am impressed that you defeated my subordinate…"
Haru clenched her teeth as she straightened herself. Her glare bored deep into Orochimaru.
"I will kill you," she growled.
Orochimaru smiled, his eyes glittering with the lust of battle. He held out his arms.
"Come then sister!" he yelled, his voice echoing through the chamber, "Rid the name of Orochimaru from yours!"
His body stretched, coursing after Haru. Haru dodged, doing do gracefully for someone who had been pummeled so mercilessly by Kabuto. She charged straight at Orochimaru, surprising him.
"Chakura Kyuin no Justu!" she yelled.
She latched her hands onto her brother's face. His chakra began to seep into Haru, refreshing her slightly. Haru jumped back as Orochimaru struggled to loosen her grip.
"How does it feel to be the oppressed one, bastard!" she cried.
Orochimaru charged at her.
"I will have your body, sister!"
Haru dodged. Orochimaru stopped. His hands flurried.
"Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei!"
A coffin rose around Kabuto's body. Orochimaru's expression of slight panic turned to one of hateful victory. Haru activated her defenses, raising her hands in front of her.
"I must say… when I heard that you had inherited the Ryuugan, I was crushed," he muttered, "I thought to myself 'why hadn't I inherited it?'… But, since I gained immortality, that didn't matter that I hadn't… All I needed to do was to find you…I can take it easily now…"
Haru glared at him, not sure what he had in store for her.
"What is this?"
Orochimaru grinned sadistically.
"Prepare to meet you genuine lineage…"
The coffin opened, and a man with long black hair stepped out. He looked almost like Orochimaru, but taller and with more of a presence. The purple was absent from his face; his eyes were the deathly amber of the Ryuugan. Haru gasped slightly. The man looked at her, then at Orochimaru.
"You are to make me fight my own daughter, wretched son?" he asked, his voice a low rumble.
Orochimaru looked slightly fearful. The dangerous glint was still in his eyes, though. He stood straight.
"Kill her, father…"
Haru's father looked at his shuddering daughter. He put a hand on her shoulder. Healing energy seeped from him into her.
"I wish I could have been there for you… I hope that your mother found happiness after my death…" he straightened, his eyes sad, "I wish it weren't so… But I have to fight you…"
Haru looked at him, tears in her eyes. She never knew him. He had died when she was a baby, and her mother had remarried when she was two. She only knew the cold love of her Oinin stepfather.
"Dad…" she muttered.
"I want to see what my little girl has become," her father said.
He charged at her, two large katanas materializing in his hands. He slashed down at Haru. She dodged, unsealing her chakra.
"Suiton: Teppodama!" she cried, firing a shot of water at her father.
He simply cut through it. The left katana broke thorough Haru's defenses and struck her hip. She fell back with a cry.
"Haru, get up!" he yelled.
Haru whimpered and stood. She drew her wakazashi.
"Mother did find happiness… though I don't think that she was ever complete…"
Her father lowered his katanas.
"She remarried…"
Haru nodded. Tears formed in her eyes.
"I wish you could have been there for mother…"
Her father nodded. He raised his katanas.
"I wish I could have, too…"
"Let's finish this…" Haru muttered.
Haru ran at her father, drawing her tanto as well. Her father charged her at the same time.
"Mikazuki no Mai!" they yelled in unison.
Their blades danced off of one another in a clash of survival. Sparks lit the shadows of the room. Haru ducked.
"Tsuga Yaiba!" she cried.
Her blades crossed one another forming a "v". They crashed with a crunch into her fathers stomach armor, cracking it. He skidded back. Haru took the advantage to charge at him yet again, kicking him square in the jaw. She used the momentum to flip and strike him in the side of the head with her other foot. Her father fell back. He wiped away the blood running our of his mouth.
"Very good, as is expected of my blood… getting strong by work, not by stealing others bodies and techniques…"
Tears formed in Haru's eyes as she charged again. Her hands formed the horse seal.
"Doton: Iwayado Kuzushi!"
The stones that form the ceiling of the room crumbled and fell toward Haru's father. Haru's father formed seals with his hands.
"Futon: Renkudan!" he yelled.
A larges blast of spiraling air shot from his mouth and smashed into the rocks, pulverizing them into dust before they reached him. The dust clouded Haru's vision. She coughed and looked around. Her father was gone. He was nowhere to be seen in any direction.
"Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu!"
Haru suddenly felt herself being jerked underground. The next thing she knew her head was the only thing above ground. She struggled to get free. Her father stood above her.
"My daughter… you have grown to be an excellent ninja…" He crouched next to her, "I'm so, so sorry I have to do this…"
Orochimaru emerged from the shadows.
"Well done, father…"
"You will not speak to me, vile son! I will kill you for this treachery…" Haru's father growled as he whipped around to face him.
Orochimaru glared at him but said nothing. The father turned back to Haru. He rested a hand on the top of her head.
"I wish I could have seen the day you became a Jounin… your marriage… anything… I guess I'll be able to spend more time with you after this…"
Haru's eyes glistened with tears. She cried.
"Father… please…"
Her father shook his head.
"I have to… I was summoned to kill you…"
Haru closed her eyes, crying bitterly. She was able to clench her right hand. Her father raised his sword.
"I love you, my daughter…"
"Kanashibari no Jutsu!" Haru screamed as she form a seal with her hand.
Her father suddenly stopped, temporarily paralyzed. Haru formed another seal.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
Five clones of Haru formed, bursting out of the hole she was trapped in. they clasped her hands and threw her into the air.
"Ga Yaiba no Chakuradan!"
Two blasts of chakra shot at her father, leaving him lying in a crater. Haru fell onto him. It was all her father could do to stop her blades. Haru looked into his eyes.
"I'm sorry… please forgive me…" she muttered.
Her father nodded.
"It's okay… kill me, then defeat your brother…"
Tears streamed down Haru's cheeks. She nodded.
"I love you father…"
Her father pulled his blades away, and Haru's slammed into his chest. She gave her one last caring look before his body dissolved and was replaced by Kabuto's. Haru stood, shaking and covered in blood. She turned to Orochimaru.
"You will pay for this…" she growled.
