Chapter 5: The Battle Before the Last…

It didn't take long before Sakura caught up to Kadaj and his brothers. She sped past Yazoo and Loz, focused on only Kadaj, she didn't have time to worry about them. Kadaj looked back and was surprised by how close Sakura was coming up on him. He looked to his brothers for support and they sped up on Sakura, intending to distract her in any way so that Kadaj could get somewhere safe, and not only because he was their baby brother.

They all sped through the streets until Kadaj started to head to the raised overpass that was incomplete, "tch…" Kadaj went speeding through it, he didn't have time for detours. Sakura had to duck so that the 'DO NOT ENTER' sign wouldn't hit her in the face, Yazoo moved to the side so it wouldn't hit him either.

Yazoo sped up and pulled out his gun, aiming straight at Sakura, she moved back and to the side to dodge his bullets. Loz pulled up and pushed his bike into Sakura's, the bike scraped against the wall. Loz activated his weapon and reared up to use it but Sakura waited for the right moment and slammed on the brakes. Loz crashed into the wall and it sent him flying against the other wall and back, out of the fight for now. Sakura opened her secret compartments and pulled out a random sword.

Yazoo, who had been ahead, spun his bike so that his side faced Sakura. Sakura didn't stop as Yazoo shot at her, she used her sword to send the bullets flying away. Their bikes clashed and they began to spin, neither of them letting up. The knife part of Yazoo's gun held Sakura's sword at bay and prevented her from using it.

Sakura finally wretched away her sword and distracted Yazoo by spinning past him, she sped off for Kadaj. Kadaj looked back and turned to the top part of the highway. Sakura sped after him but sudden Loz caught up to her and turned so that she couldn't speed up without hitting Loz's bike. Loz grinned and jumped off his bike, diving for Sakura with his weapon activated. Sakura spun around and slowed down to dodge him, Loz hit the ground. She spun back around and went back to chasing Kadaj.

Yazoo chased after Sakura while Loz got back to his bike.

Sakura went in the lower highway, looking up at Kadaj, their eyes met and he gave her a playful smirk. She lost sight of him when she started to go through a tunnel.

I can't get to Kadaj with these guys following me, Sakura looked back at Yazoo, thinking of ways to take them down without actually killing them. Even though they were her enemies they were still Kakashi's sons and she couldn't kill them, no matter how much she disliked them.

Suddenly, using the tunnel to his full advantage, Loz steered his bike up the tunnel until he was above Sakura. He jumped off and landed on the front part of Sakura's bike, she blocked him with her sword but it was difficult to keep him at bay while steering away from the walls and Yazoo, Loz's bike crashed into the ground and spun away.

Sakura forced Loz off her bike and he jumped back to Yazoo's and propelled off it while Yazoo unloaded a clip against Sakura. Sakura blocked them all with her sword and once again crashed into Yazoo's bike. This time Sakura focused on pushing him off using her swords, he used the knife part of his gun to evade her sword but he had troubled and several times he almost fell off, nothing but pavement waiting.

They traded blows but nothing was landing. Loz who was ahead of them, he had put his bike into autopilot, turned to the side and using his weapon he ripped up the ground below him and when slowed down enough, using his massive strength, he picked the bike up using his feet and shot it straight at Sakura and Yazoo. Sakura saw it coming and used her strength to push Yazoo back. He didn't know it but she was trying to get him to avoid it.

Yazoo broke away and spun his bike low so he could fit right under it, no part of him touching it. Sakura had no choice but to jump off her bike and using the opportunity she used her sword to cut the bike into two. She went in between the pieces and almost couldn't avoid Loz who was waiting for her. He went to punch her but she moved over him and used his back to propel herself forward. Before jumping off Loz's back she had turned around and kicked him to his bike where an electric shock emitted and the bike exploded. One down Sakura turned to her bike and Yazoo.

But using his super speed Loz suddenly appeared on Sakura's bike, at the same moment she landed on it. Sakura couldn't strike back as Loz kicked her in the air again and used his speed to hit her in the back, continuing this again. Sakura couldn't fight back but she kicked Loz away but before Sakura could land back on her bike Yazoo jumped on it and jumped at her, reloading and using his clip at Sakura. Loz reappeared and distracted Sakura enough for Yazoo to reload again and shoot at Sakura. She kicked Loz back again and turned to strike Yazoo but Loz came back quicker than Sakura could react against so she took out the sword that was still in her holder and used it to stop Loz.

It wasn't long before they started to fall back to the ground, Loz and Yazoo chuckled with delight, Sakura needed to end this now.

Summoning chakra into her blades she used her strength to break away from Loz and Yazoo but before they could do anything she used her swords to cut into Yazoo's gun and Loz's weapon. Loz flew backwards in shock as his weapon was almost cut in two. Loz ripped it off before it exploded and threw it to the wall.

Yazoo sped up to catch Loz before he hit the pavement. Sakura sped past them, Yazoo and Loz watched her drive off. Yazoo looked back down, hesitating, and before starting after her he threw his gun to the ground. The barrel had been cut off.

#

Kadaj was the only one going down the highway. When he drove down the other highway he was glad to see that no one was chasing him, he began to relax.

#

Suigetsu and Jugo were standing at the end of the tunnel, Suigetsu's helicopter next to them. They waited and watched for anyone to come from the tunnel. Jugo tossed something at Suigetsu, it was a circular object with what looked like dynamite taped around it, Suigetsu was still skeptical of Jugo's bomb making so he held it up and asked "Hey, partner…this thing…does it got any bite to it?" Jugo held up his "Uchiha technology at its finest" Suigetsu chuckled.

"Oh, so you made this?"

Jugo nodded, "if nothing else, it's flashy"

"Oh good" Suigetsu grinned his fishy grin.

"You love it, I know" Jugo turned back to the tunnel.

"It looks like today we're clocking out early"

They didn't have to wait long before Sakura went blazing past them, she didn't even stop nor did she look at them, her attention was solely rooted on Kadaj.

"Go get them kid" Suigetsu said as Sakura passed.

Yazoo and Loz were coming out of the tunnel. Suigetsu put the bombs in the road in front of him, setting it for ten seconds.

"Now let's sit back and watch the show" Suigetsu said lazily.

Yazoo and Loz couldn't stop before they hit the bombs and the impact was bigger than anyone would've expected. Sakura had to turn to the side to keep herself from falling over from the shockwave. The blast from the bomb had different colors showing that Jugo had stuck fireworks to it as well.

Sakura decided to use the shockwave as a way to propel herself down where Kadaj was. She gripped her sword tight and held it over her head to hit Kadaj.

Kadaj had somehow seen Sakura coming and he pulled his double bladed katana out and blocked Sakura's sword. He moved his bike away so Sakura's didn't hit his.

"You shouldn't have kept Mother from me!" Kadaj yelled, Sakura's eyes landed on her miniature black case which was still tucked in Kadaj's arm. That case had been hiding in her old wooden case, no one expected to look in there for something like Jenova's head.

The highway ahead of them was ending and they didn't stop nor move away as their bikes went over the end. Sakura drew back to keep her bike level as they hit the ground beneath them. Kadaj hit the ground hard but his bike held up, Sakura charged forward and threw her sword straight at Kadaj, it barely missed him and in the meantime Kadaj had sent his blade forward and it caught Sakura's sleeve, the stigma under it burned at the gash Kadaj created.

The rocks in the dirt were making it difficult to keep Sakura's bike from falling over, she drew back away from Kadaj cupped her hand over her gash. He moved over to a small entryway in the rocks and jumped over the bottom. Sakura went over it and stopped, Kadaj went speeding off.

Shit, Sakura sighed and moved her arm around. She opened her secret compartments and put her sword back. She then looked at her sleeve, she ripped the top of it off and the only part of her sleeve that remained was at her wrist where it was tied by a belt. The geostigma underneath was starting to look darker, it was beginning to spread, but Sakura didn't have a choice. It was going to take more than her simple human strength to fight Kadaj and even her chakra wouldn't help her if she had to fight Sephiroth, something she was hoping didn't happen.

Without missing another second she leaned forward and went after Kadaj.

#

Kadaj went inside the old church and stopped in the flowerbed. He paused to catch his breath, he gripped the case before turning it over to see through the hole.

"Mother!" his expression softened then something new washed over him. He hesitatingly held his hand over the case, almost like he was afraid. Instead, he dropped his hand over the case in a caress "Mother…" his eyes began to get moist with tears and he brought the case to his chest "Mother!" he lightly sobbed.

His chin quivered as the warm tears went down his cheeks. He clinched the case tight in his arms as he leaned forward in a loud yell.

What's wrong…Kadaj? a voice asked, it was all too familiar to Kadaj. He looked up slowly, "…father…?"

Kadaj closed his eyes, feeling himself remember.

He was a small boy. He had been running in an open plain, the grass was tall enough to hide his entire body. He was on the ground now, holding his knee and crying. He had fallen down and ripped his knee up bad, blood almost covered his kneecap. He sniffed loudly and yelled "Father!" Kadaj didn't have to wait long before his father, Kakashi Hatake, came walking up to him and crouching down.

"Don't cry Kadaj, it's just a small wound." Kakashi reached for him and Kadaj went to the circle of his arms as Kakashi picked him up. "Let's go home and get it cleaned up" Kadaj could barely see his father's face due to his mask but Kadaj smiled warmly at him. "Uh-huh"

"It's just a little scratch" Loz remarked as Kakashi wrapped it up. "Shut up Loz" Kadaj yelled at his older brother. "You shut up, you're the one crying you baby"

Yazoo sighed, not paying attention to his brothers.

"You didn't see it, there was blood everywhere"

"So what? Shinobi don't cry"

"You're one to talk Loz" Yazoo commented. Loz glared at Yazoo but said nothing because Kakashi had cleared his throat and they knew that meant to stop talking.

"Kadaj is still young so it's not a bad thing that he cries, it's a child's way of protecting themselves…believe it or not" Kakashi explained.

"But isn't it against the rules of a Shinobi to cry?" Loz asked his father. "Well yes but shinobi aren't children either, they are more tougher. Kadaj is only three so it's a natural thing. Just like you Loz he'll get tougher and he won't cry when he gets hurt" Kakashi smiled from beneath his mask, "besides even adults can cry but that usually doesn't happen unless something terrible happens to them…" Kakashi fell silent.

"Like what happened to mother?" Yazoo asked, Kakashi hesitated before agreeing, his voice above a whisper, "Yes, just like with Hanare…"

Kadaj opened his eyes, he was back in the present. His hands were hurting from holding the case so tightly. He released it to wipe the tears away from his eyes, "Shinobi…don't cry" he told himself.

"Kadaj!" he heard from behind the church doors. He looked and saw Sakura from behind them, "tch…".

Sakura moved her bike up to do a wheelie so she could crash through the doors without breaking them. Kadaj turned his bike and using the Materia in his wrist he summoned chakra into his hand, but instead of aiming at Sakura he shot the blast at a pillar and it began to fall down. Sakura broke through the doors and Kadaj used his strength to make the bike jump onto the fallen pillar, he smirked at Sakura as he drove up it and out of the church.

Sakura had to turn her bike to the side and down as she ran into pews trying to get under the pillar without being crushed. She made it cleanly and spun into the flowerbed, she stopped and looked up at Kadaj.

Kadaj shot another blast at Sakura and she jumped off her bike to dodge it. Her bike flew backwards and the blast landed in the flowerbed.

Kadaj laughed at Sakura and waited to see if she was hit. Sakura got up, the dirt from the flowerbed hid her from Kadaj, she gripped her arm in pain, the stigma was burning.

The dirt started to thin and Kadaj saw Sakura and prepared another blast.

Suddenly, from where the flowerbed once stood, water started to come up and on its own it began to float up and over them, pouring down like rain.

The Lifestream?

How irritating…

Sakura moved her hand away from her wound and left her hand palm up to touch the rain, the rain wasn't cold nor hot.

The water collected like a tidal wave at Kadaj, the Lifestream focusing on Jenova's head. Kadaj held the case away and revved his bike.

Sakura flinched when the stigma covering her left arm started to weaken and when she looked at it she was shocked to see that it was being dissolved away. Nothing left but a green glow and the natural color of her skin.

Kadaj didn't wait any longer he revved up and away from the church.

The rain stopped and the hole from the chakra blast was filling up with water. A single drop hit the surface and Sakura heard "let's go, Sakura"

Sakura went to her bike and exited the church. She headed to the remains of Sasuke's once powerful gun, the old city of Midgar around it.

This is it…I can feel him getting closer…

Sakura felt her Jenova cells react in her bloodstream. She felt strength as she headed to the place where it all began…
