Hey and welcome to another chapter of Demonic Love and the second to last chapter of Tenten's arc.

Like I've said in other chapters, and in future chapters as well, I apologise in advance for any grammar mistakes, repetitiveness and poor writing. Anyway on with the story.

I don't own Naruto or it's characters. I'm just using them for the story. And any OCs are mine.

"Amatarasu..." said Sakura as she glared, hard, at the demon in front of her, tightening the grip on it's bony fingers.

It was happening again. Like the time when Hinata almost died by the hands of the reddish-pink demon, and she was backed into a corner, the pinkette had seen a double of herself and called out a name that she didn't know the meaning of. And now she did it again. The girl didn't appear this time, but Sakura had spoken out another name, Amatarasu, like it was nothing. Like she knew what the name meant but couldn't place a finger on it.

After she had said the name, her demonic eye had started to glow and blood had begun to pour out of her eye. She could feel the warm, iron filled substance run down her cheek and from the corner of her eye she could see that her arm had been engulfed by her black flames. But even though this was happening to her body, the thing that stood out the most, was the power that she could feel flowing through her. She didn't know how, but in the back of her mind, she knew that this was the power that she needed to take down the immortal demon for good.

"Damn you," the demon growled. What the hell are you really?"

"Like I said before," Sakura began, narrowing her eyes slightly. "I'm your..." The pinkette extended her flamed arm out, and in front of her palm even more black flames appeared, starting to extend and take shape. "...destruction!" The flames had morphed into the shape of her scythe, and not missing a beat or wasting time, Sakura swung her black flamed weapon in the same place she had struck the original demon.

It's pupiless red eyes widened and the pinkette released it's hand. The white fiend staggered back a few steps and then looked down to inspect the damage. There was a trail, from it's hip to it's shoulder, of black flames, and when the demon saw that, it looked back up, just in time to see the girl's demonic eye glow. In the next instant, the flames that were on the demon's body grew, and in a matter of seconds, the white fiend had been engulfed by a black inferno.

"W-What the hell is this?!" the demon screamed. It's blood red pupiless eyes widened as it watched the black flames, that surrounded itself, tear away the flesh of it's skin off it's body. Fear had started to envelop it's body as it realised that it's regenerating powers wasn't working against this unknown power. "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" was the final thing the demon screamed before it's body was disintegrated. When the flames vanished, there was nothing left of the demon that it had surrounded it.

Sakura stared at the spot, where the demon had been standing, for a few more moments before she looked up. She looked at the many copies of the demon, and they all wore similar expressions on their faces. Shock. Surprise. They weren't expecting this turn of events.

"So, who's next?" Sakura asked in a monotone voice.

Those words snapped the demons out of their dazes, as their expressions changed from shock to anger, all of the white fiend clones bared their teeth at the pinkette. With the order to attack coming from one of the clones, like a pack of bees homing on the fool would dare attack their hive, the remaining nineteen white fiends all charged at Sakura at once.

Narrowing her eyes and swinging her flaming scythe to the side, Sakura lept toward the horde of monsters heading her way. The first demon that came at her, it swung it's arm with it's long sharp nails pointing at the pinkette. Sakura dodged the attack with little effort, ducking underneath it's arm, and with her weapon, decapitated the white fiend and immediately went for the next one.

Once the she had dispatched that demon and pressed forward, three more came at her. One from the front, and two coming from both sides of her. They came at her with inhuman speed, but it didn't matter to the pink haired demon. As soon as they came in close proximity with her, she vanished from their sight. Not a moment later that the girl disappeared, that the demon's sensed something from above them and all three of the fiends looked up.

The girl they were looking for was high up in the air and while she was, the black flamed scythe in her hand had started to change it's shape. The pinkette's weapon changed into a cross scythe and when it was finished, Sakura twisted her body, her arm cocked back, and then threw her scythe at the trio below her. Like a buzzsaw spinning at a high speed, the cross scythe spun towards the three demons below, and like cutting in butter, the scythe carved through them cleanly, cutting all three in half.

When the flaming weapon returned to Sakura like a boomerang, as soon as she grasped it, the demon's instantly combusted into flames, their death cries echoing in the park. Once they were taking care of, gravity had started to take over the pink haired girl's body, as she she slowly started to descend. As she was falling, Sakura looked down toward the ground and saw the remaining fifteen copies glaring at her. And as she was staring at them, thinking who she needed to take out next, the girl's vision started to blur and a headache had suddenly begun to assault her head.

She clutched her head with her free hand and narrowed her demonic eye. What's going on? she wondered in her thoughts. Was this happening because of using Amatarasu's power? It felt like her head was going to split open. Sakura lowered her hand. It's time to end this was the decision she ultimately made. There was no way that she could fight for longer period of time with the splitting headache she was having. Thinking that, Sakura turned herself around and dove toward the floor, moving faster than she did before.

Landing on the ground, in a crouched position and in front of a demon clone, Sakura's head shot up, looking into the demon's pupiless gaze before she cut it down with her cross scythe. It's death cry echoed in the pinkette's ears as her weapon left another trail of black behind and when her eye began to glow again, the blackness of the flames spread like a wildfire and enveloped the demon in an instant. When the demon fell to the floor and vanished with the flames, the assault had begun again.

All the remaining demons were coming at her at once and, ignoring the pounding headache that was only getting worse by the minute, she decided meet them half way. Like last time, a demon swung it's bulging arm at the pinkette in a wide arc. Sakura dodged the attack by twisting her body around the creature so that she was now behind it, and in the process of doing that, Sakura threw her cross scythe at the demons that were now in front of her.

She watched as her black flamed weapon took out two other demons before they could do anything to counter it. The demon girl immediately ducked an incoming attack from the fiend behind her and when she turned to face her assailant, her cross scythe returned to her left hand and as soon as it did, the girl killed the demon behind her. With that out of the way, the pinkette stood up and scanned her surroundings. The demon's didn't attack her again. They were probably being cautious now, being careful as to what to do next.

She didn't have time for this. Sakura could feel her body start to ache and protest of the power that she was wielding. This was only the second time that she was using Izanami's power and she was using it for extended amount of time. She still wasn't used this power boost of hers, and to add to this, Amatarasu's power as it was called, was also weighing heavily on the girl's head. She didn't show it on her face, not wanting to give away anything to her enemy, but the pinkette was in agony.

With those thoughts in mind, using the full power of the speed boost she had gotten with Izanami's power, Sakura leapt to the closest demon that was near her. The demon looked on with surprise and before it could do anything, the pinkette cut it in to three with her cross scythe.

Ten left.

When that demon was done, she went onto the next two. This time they seemed to be ready and when the girl was in front of them, in sync with one another, their sharp nails and spider-like appendages were thrust upon her. Again, however, she vanished thanks to her speed and in the next moment, she was behind and above them. They turned to look but didn't get very far as their heads immediately left their shoulders.

Eight left. And then after that there were only seven, and then six. One by one they fell by Sakura's flame coated weapon. She wasn't giving them the time to counter attack. This had to end, now. There was now only two white skinned fiends left and Sakura could feel her power beginning to waver. The black flame on her left arm had gotten small and her weapon had begun to become slightly unstable. She knew why though. Her body was subconsciously slowly starting to shut down her power, even if she didn't want it to.

"Fuck this shit," one of the two demon's spoke, taking a step back.

What the hell do you think you're doing," the other demon said, angrily. That was most likely the original demon, and the one backing away was the clone.

"You can stay if you want!" the demon clone exclaimed. "But there's no way I'm dying, to just have some tomboy school girl!" And with those words the demon began to run away. It was heading toward the forest of trees. But it didn't get far. The moment Sakura knew where the demon was heading, she vanished from the spot. She reappeared in front of the fleeing demon, glaring at it.

"W-W-Wai-AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

The instant the demon opened it's mouth to speak, Sakura's cross scythe returned to it's original form and she swung it vertically, cutting right in the middle of it's body. The white fiend's body began to split open, both parts of it's split body moving away from each other, before it was combusted into black flames. And now, with that clone out of the way, there was only one left.

Sakura narrowed her eyes as she stared at the last demon. Her eyes had begun to blur once more. She knew that her time was almost up and, most likely, the next attack of any kind would be her last. Knowing that, she tightened the grip of her black flamed weapon.

"It's over for you now demon," she declared, "you've lost."

"Don't you think it's over yet girl," it replied in irritation. "Once I'm done with you, those two girls will be next." Sakura's eyes became dangerous when those words left the demon's mouth. Her reason for killing the white skinned fiend in front of her intensified.

"So for that to happen," it continued, "why don't you do me a favour? Stay still and DIE!" it roared out, leaping at the demonic girl with recklessness. Murderous intent clearly written in it's body language.

Not wanting to waste more time in this demon's presence, she also decided to leap. When they were close to each other they both swung; Sakura with her black flamed scythe, the demon with it's ruler length claws, and when the sound of contact was heard, both demons went past each other.

After that, there was only silence, the two demonic presences were stood perfectly still. However it didn't last long as Sakura's black flames that had been surrounding her arm had dissipated, along with her flame coated scythe. Her breathing had now started to get heavy, and when the demon heard that sound, it smiled.

Turning around, the demon looked at the girl with that wicked smile, thinking that it had won. But the smile vanished, however, when it saw the girl slowly turn her head, looking at the fiend with the corner of her eye, and had a smile of her own playing on her lips. It's eyes widened, like they never had before, and with reluctance, it looked down at it's own body.

It got a shock for a life time for what it saw. There wasn't one, nor two, but five trails of black flames on the demon's body. In that little time frame of when they clashed, the pinkette had struck a blow five times. Seeing that, it bared it's sharp teeth, clenching them tightly and it tightening it's hands into fists.

"Damn you..." it said under it's breath, turning it's pupiless gaze back to the girl. "DAMN YOUUUUU!" the demon roared. It's mouth split into four, and lunged itself at the girl he now hated with a vengeance.

The pinkette watched as the demon came at her like a wild animal that was backed into a corner. Using it's demonic strength in it's legs, it leapt the last couple feet that was between them. But the battle, for the demon, was unfortunately over. The girl's demonic eye flickered for the last time, and with the name "Amatarasu" leaving the girl's lips, the demon was instantly consumed in flames.

Even though it was engulfed, it still continued to charge at Sakura, not letting the pain of it's skin being ripped off stopping it. And just as the demon's sharp nail was about to touch the pinkette's face, it finally vanished, the only thing hitting the girl was the mist of smoke that had been left behind and which was drifted off in the soft wind.

It was over. The battle with the immortal demon was finally finished, and with that she had probably saved any future victims and more importantly, her friends, Hinata and Tenten.

"Hinata!" a voice cried out, drawing the demon girl's attention. She turned her emerald and demonic gaze toward the brunette who was on her knees holding an motionless girl in her arms. Tears were falling from Tenten's eyes as she held Hinata, calling out her name over and over.

It's not over yet she thought. Slowly, Sakura moved her fatigued body toward the pair of girls on the floor and when she eventually got to them, she knelt down on the ground. As Tenten was crying, Sakura was expecting the worse, but when she took a closer look at Hinata, she could see the girl was breathing was subtle. The brunette must have been worried too much to notice.

"She's going to be alright Tenten," she reassured. The brunette looked at the pinkette with watery eyes, looking at her like she grew a new head. Sakura turned her attention back on the girl that needed help. She saw the gashes on the girl's back and realized that they weren't that deep. But even that was the case, it probably still hurt like hell. Using whatever power she had left, the pinkette did the same thing she had done when the raven haired girl had been impaled by the reddish-pink demon. Sakura placed her right hand over the girl's back and her hand began to glow green and in the next moment, the wounds on Hinata's back had slowly started to close up, until their was nothing.

The green glow then faded away, and Sakura let out a sigh. All of her power had been spent up and now exhaustion was slowly starting to settle in. Hinata's eyes slowly started to open, blinked a few times and when she was awake completely, she sat up.

"What?" she spoke. "What happened?" Before she could get an answer, the girl was quickly wrapped into an embrace.

"Hinata!" Tenten cried out. "You're alright!"

"Tenten? What happened?" she asked.

The brunette released her friend but her hands remained on the girl's shoulders. "You don't remember?"

Hinata thought for a moment. "Well, the last thing I remember was you falling to the floor while we were being chased by the demon, and I pushed you out of the way from it's attack," she said. Something then clicked in her head. "Speaking of, what happened to the it?"

"It's gone," Sakura spoke up, gaining both the girl's attentions. "For good."

"I see," Hinata said. She then smiled at the pinkette. "Thank you, Sakura-chan. Thanks to you, Tenten's safe. I'm really grateful."

Sakura gave the ravenette a tired smile of her own. "Don't... worry..." she spoke. She could feel her eyes grow heavy and slowly close. "As long... as you're..."

But she never got finish what she was saying as the next thing she saw was the blackness behind her eyelids and the sound of Hinata calling out her name, before her exhaustion finally took over.

"Sakura-chan!?" Hinata called out worriedly as the pinkette suddenly slumped forward. The ravenette caught the girl in her arms and both girls began to worry. But they needn't had, as the girl had just fainted from exhaustion and she breathed out slow even breaths.

"She's asleep?" asked Tenten.

Hinata just gave a nod of confirmation. She looked at the girl resting on her with gentle eyes and a loving smile. An expression that Tenten had never seen. The ravenette had always smiled gently toward other people when she spoke, but the way she was looking at Sakura now was on another level.

The ravenette then reached a free hand out and began to stroke the girl's pink locks. Just by seeing that, Tenten's thoughts about before where right. But there was one question that still remained. Did Hinata know herself? That was something she would have to ask her, but at a later time. Right now, she didn't want to disturb the peaceful scene that she was watching right now.

As the peaceful scene continued, neither Tenten or Hinata noticed the bespectacled girl hidden behind the trees of the park, watching them. Or to be more specific, the pink haired demon girl.

And there we go, another chapter done with and like I said at the start, the next chapter will be final chapter for Tenten's arc (which I like to call it). Thanks for reading and please leave a review and tell me anything that can help improve the story or my writing. Also constructive criticism is also very appreciated.
