Senryu52809

Senryu: As you all ready know I don't own Naruto.

Shiirya: And she never will…

Senryu: -deathglare-

Mikomi tensed, desperately trying to find an opening.

Shinji stirred behind her.

" M-Mikomi…? My head…what-…?

Mikomi stepped forward a bit, both kunai still in her paw.

"Shinji…" she whispered. " Can you fly…?"

Shinji felt better, but was still dizzy from being unconscious for so long and to tell the truth he couldn't even see straight much less fly.

Mikomi took the silence as a 'no'.

The snake looked at the bird and slithered closer.

"Becausse of syour insssolence dog, my dinner hasss awaken…!"

The snake lunged forward at Mikomi, who was ready and waiting. When the snake's fangs were about an inch from here snout she ducked, sending the king cobra flying over her with a flick of her paw. When the snake was above her, she grabbed an ice kunai and plunged it into the snake's chest.

She was aiming from the heart.

The snake landed in a pool of its own blood, wriggling in pain.

Mikomi clenched her teeth. She missed…

If she had hit the heart the snake would now be dead. The fact that she missed put a live snake in between her and Shinji…

The snake gave her a death glare.

"Sthat hurt syou damned mut!!"

He turned and looked at the petrified Shinji and smirked. The cobra darted at the sparrow, fangs outstretched and venom practically spurting out of them… Shinji who now understood the situation, tried to run, but his body was still too weak and dizzy.

Mikomi was in between the two like lightning; she grabbed the second ice kunai and plunged it, once again, into the charging cobra's chest.

She winced and looked at the paw that held to kunai. The snake's fang dug into her arm. As quickly as she could, the snow colored dog released the kunai and ripped her arm from the snake's fang.

She observed the snake that refused to die.

'Damn it…' she bared her teeth. 'I missed again…'

Mikomi attempted to attack again, but she tripped and fell on her stomach. Her eyesight was blurry. She winced; it was like her body was on fire…

The snake laughed at the dog in her pain.

"Slooksss like there wass sssome venom in sthat attack…"

Mikomi struggled to lift her paw, and observed the wound the fang had inflicted. The dog grimaced; the wound was turning blue-ish purple…

The cobra turned his attention back to the sparrow.

Shinji looked at the cobra.

He smirked.

"And sthen there wass sssone."

The snake lunged at Shinji, fangs ready to consume.

Shinji closed his eyes out of panic. There was a bright light, and then the snake was thrown across the terrain into a tree.

Shinji opened his eyes. 'What was that…?'

The snake got up and looked at the burn marks on his body.

"Syou ssstupid nin-ssbird…!!!"

The king cobra was about to lunge forward again when a white flash flew out of the trees, tackling the cobra. The animal was thrown back into another tree, a stick piercing its side. Shinji stared at the sight. This was the seagull from before…this was…

"Yuka…?" he said.

The seagull plucked the stick from her side and looked at the bird. Her eyes opened in wonder.

"You're that sparrow from before right…? I heard someone was in a fight here, funny meeting you of all people…!"

The snake stared at the two and darted at Yuka this time.

"Ssswell, isssn't diss a happy sssreunion!!"

Yuka darted past the fangs as the snake attacked, using her sharp beak to puncture the snake's chest, hitting the heart of the beast.

Seeing the battle was over, Shinji flew over to Mikomi, who was still on the ground, slipping into unconsciousness. Shinji felt her heart.

'This is bad…'

"Yuka!!" he yelled.

The seagull flew over to the sparrow.

"I need you to find help; I think she's been poisoned."

Yuka looked at the trembling Mikomi.

"I know this one girl in the village that might be able to help…I think her name was Ino…she was traveling with this group-…"

Shinji stared at the bird.

"Ino…was there a pink haired girl with her…?"

Yuka thought about it.

"Yea…"

Shinji sighed in relief.

"Yuka…I need you to find that pink haired girl, also a dog and a pig…"

Yuka flew off…

"Got it!!!"

Shinji looked at Mikomi and sighed.

"Please hurry Yuka…"

Senryu: ooh…Should I kill Mikomi, or let her live…?

Shiirya: You're kidding right…?

Senryu…

Shiirya: RIGHT…?

Senryu: You'll see…
