Shinobi: The Next Generation

Chapter 14: Final Attack

Kagami stepped in front of Neko, calmly deflecting her attacks, all the while, Neko roaring and attempting to rip her limb from limb. Sakura stepped behind her, ready to attack from behind, Haru approching Hana and Rei.

"Now, now, two on one? That's not very fair. Ice surround!" kagami shrieked with mirth.

Two large Ice hands reached out of the ground, surroundin the two kunoichim, holding them in slightly less thatn a stranglehold.

"Now Sakura, I think I'm going to show you just a little piece of the knowledge bestowed upon me by my grandfather, with a little tweaking, of course. I think you, of all people will appreciate this. Neko-chan, stop thrashing, you'll break your neck."

Hana and the boys rescued, and safe, Haru dashed to help her friends.

"Haru! Behind you!" sakura yelled. Kagami was headed towards the brunnette, backing her up, step by step, until.. thunk.

"GOD DAMNIT!!!" Haru had fallen out of the tree, down, down, down, and landed in the bottom of a previously unnoticed hole in the ground.

"Now where was I? Oh yah." Kagami rapidly formed seals Sakura couldn't recognize.

"Guh." Sakura winced as Kagami's chakra-infused teeth bit deep into her neck, then screamed. The ice holding the two of them crumbled as her agonized scream rebounded throught he clearing, and she fell. Neko, much slower as her demon receded, caught the nin, who blacked out in her arms.

"It's been real. Real easy, that is. Sayonara. I do believe we will meet again." She opended the pouch at her hip and scattered a handful of the mirrored pieces and vanished.

--

Sakura awoke in a hospital bed, recovering from a near-death chakra drain. Neko and Haru had been released a week or so earlier, along with Rei and Hana.

"ohayo Sakura!" Hana and Haru shouted as they burst throught the door to her room, "we brought sushi and news!" Haru flopped down on her bed, hana in the chair by the bedside table. "Neko went back to Suna, big surprise there, and she promises to visit."

"Thank you ugh, get off." Hanna let Sakuraout of her lung-crushing "hug" and pulled out a bag then rapidly began throwing things out of it, Haru and Sakura running to avoid them. Everything was Back to normal…… as normal as "normal" was, that is, for now…
