Me: Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto. If I did, I'd be in Japan.
Emily: That'd be awesome though...
Katie: Too bad. And Kenisha, you're supposed to be dying, like every other mission you're on!
Me: Damn you to hell, Katie-chan!!
Chapter Seventeen
"God dammit!! I hate this guy!!" "Yes, Emily we all do, now light this meteor!!" Katie and Emily were sending flaming sediment at the Tsuchikage while TenTen was doing her usual "throw every sharp and pointy thing known to man and several known to monkeys" thing. But the Tsuchikage was dodging everything.
"Your efforts are futile: I could do this in my sleep," he screamed, twisting out of the way of a demon wind shuriken. "Shut up, you lying bastard. I can see you're sweating your ass off," TenTen cried from above. "Hey twins, get back!!"
"Don't call us twi--" "Just go!!" Emily and Katie retreated to the compound as TenTen landed on the ground. The Tsuchikage laughed. "Oh, is it time for your big move? And I thought that their parents were stupid," he said, pointing at Emily and Katie. "Hey!!"
"Shut up! I have a present for you," TenTen said, unraveling her scroll for the hundredth time. "What's so big about your scroll?" "You're stupid, you know that right? I'm called the Weapon's Mistress of Konoha for a reason!!" She bit her thumb and white smoke surrounded her.
"Oh shit," the Tsuchikage screamed as kunai, shuriken, demon wind shuriken, scythes, chain wind scythes, spiked bombs, maces, and thousands of other weapons from TenTen's skilled aim. And he didn't use a substitution. (Everyone on the good side: Holy shit!! That had to hurt!! Ooooo...)
'Hang on, Kenisha-chan. I will get you home...Hang on.' Lee was speeding through the trees that bordered the Land of Grass and the Land of Fire. Kenisha was laying limply in his arms, a strip of cloth wrapped around her neck. There were no hospital in the area so Lee had to make a choice: run to Konoha or search for another hospital, which would take time that Kenisha didn't have.
She was running out of time, her breathing was raspy and quick. Kenisha was gripping Lee's shirt as she gasped in pain. "Lee-kun!!" Lee grimaced. He landed on a branch and crouched down, respositioning Kenisha's head.
"I almost lost you once, do not die on me this time! Fifth Gate, release!!" He exploded off the branch, which broke into a million splinters of wood. He was faster than sound, speeding through the trees, splintering them down as he jumped off of them. 'Kenisha-chan...you will be alright, I will make sure of it!!' Lee looked down and saw blood on his shirt. "Oh no!! Kenisha-chan!!" She coughed up blood again, staining his shirt further. Her blood was dripping on the branches below, a light purple stain growing on the cloth around her neck. 'I need to hurry!!' He went even faster, having trouble keeping Kenisha's head up in the process.
8 minutes later
"Ahhh!!" Lee took a quick look down and saw that the cloth around Kenisha's neck was getting bloodier. "Lee-kun!! It hurts..." She was gripping his shirt even tighter, crying out as he reached the gates of Konoha.
"Hold on, Kenisha-chan!! We are in Konoha, hold on a little bit longer!!" He sped to the hospital, nearly injuring passing villagers his haste. "Sorry!! I have to hurry," he yelled behind him as he entered the hospital. The woman at the desk was marveled by his appearance. "Lee-kun," Kenisha gasped, holding her neck in visible pain. (Tsunade: Well, anyone would've. How many times does a 15 year old Taijutsu master burst into a hospital with his gates activated holding his dying girlfriend in his arms? Not many... TenTen and Hinata: No duh! )
"Sir, what is the proble--" "Kenisha-chan has been injured, the injury is life threatening!! Please, save my Kenisha-chan!!" The woman behind the desk called for some medic nin and they appeared immedaitely. Lee let them take her and she was rushed to the emergency room. He was running down the hall with them, holding Kenisha's hand. She was gasping and writhing in pain now; the hurt in her voice scared him.
Neji was chasing Hermione and Itachi through the forest; Itachi was dripping blood on the branches he jumped on. Hermione was holding him up on one shoulder, all her Chakra points on the left side of her body were blocked. "Hermione-chan, I can go fine on my own--" "No you can't!! You're bleeding all over and we're being chased by the sexually confused freak, so shut up," Hermione said, jumping farther.
"I AM NOT SEXUALLY CONFUSED, MY HAIR'S JUST LONG!! Eight Trigrams: Empty Palm!!" He hit Hermione and Itachi in a swirl of Chakra; they fell to the ground. "That's what you get, bitch," Neji said, landing gracefully on the ground. He got out a rope and tied their bodies together. Neither was able to protest, for they were unconcious. Neji hoisted them on his back and headed back to the Kimochi compound.
13 minutes later
"Ice-man, are you sure they're unable to move," TenTen said sarcastically. "No, I don't think so," Neji replied in the same tone. Emily and Katie giggled. "So this is how couples act after a mission," Katie said, opening a book. "Please stop reading, Katie-chan," Emily said, pulling on Katie's arm. "Fine!! Let's get back to Konoha." She put her book away, walked to the edge of the compound, and jumped to the demolished village below.
Lee was still holding Kenisha's hand when Shizune forced him out of the room. "But--" "I know your connection with her, but you need to leave. There's a doctor outside that needs to ask you some questions," Shizune snapped, closing the door. Lee closed his mouth and turned around to face a doctor with a clipboard in her hand. The same doctor that had treated him when Gaara broke his leg and arm. (Me: Sorry, don't know her name, so bear with me here. Katie: I'd rather not)
"Hello, Lee-san! I need to ask you some personal questions and about how that girl got into that condition, so if you would just sit down," she said, patting a spot next to her on the couch she was sitting on. Lee sat down and took a deep breath.
"So, what do you need to know?" "Well, first of all: what is the girl's name?" She readied her pen. "Her name is Kenisha Kimochi-"
The doctor gasped. "The new kunoichi from the Land of Grass?!" "Yes, she was on a mission when that injury was inflicted upon her...I should have been there..." Lee looked down and the doctor frowned. "What happened during the mission? How did she get that wound?" Lee sighed.
"She was assigned to go back to her birth village, the Hidden Village of Sky, and get any artifacts from the area that affiliate with Chakra. Then Hermione and Itachi attacked them for the artifacts. Kenisha and the others won, but then..." The doctor was scratching on her clipboard like crazy.
"Yes," she said quickly. "The Tsuchikage attacked them, the one who took everything form them, from her...he was the one who cut into her neck with the kunai. I had only gotten there in time to catch her before she fell. TenTen told me to get her to a hospital and they could deal with him; Neji had gone after Hermione and Itachi, who had been to critically injured to fight another battle. I do not know the outcome of either battle."
The doctor sighed. "This is so confusing...how do you deal with so much pain? And with a friend in mortal danger?" Lee shivered at the sentence. "Kenisha-chan is my girlfriend; it was in a scenario much like this one when we told each other how we feel. But..." He put his head down, his shoulders shaking as tears began to roll down his cheeks. "But this time...she might not make it!!"
The doctor put her arm over his shouolders and patted his back. "It's going to be okay.." 'I am not so sure...I am not so sure this time...' Lee thought in despair.
TenTen, Neji and the twins had entered the hospital with news of their success. But seeing Lee in the waiting room with no Kenisha in sight scared the living crap out of them. They rushed to him, trying to comfort him with words like: "Hey, she's had worse!", "Hn.", and Emily's awesome comment, "Kenisha-chan doesn't know how to die, so stop crying. Now!"
TenTen held him as he cried even harder, yelling at the twins, saying that it wasn't helping. "We won the battle: that bastard can't take a breath without a shuriken peircing his lungs. He's dead, Kenisha is going to survive, and we can all go out for ice-cream when this is over!! Come on Lee, smile!! Tsunade-sama was able to heal you, and she'll be able to heal Kenisha!! So stop crying before my shirt gets even wetter!!"
Lee sniffled and wiped away his tears. "Thank you, everyone...I am sorry for being so down. I should have faith in Kenisha-chan--"
The door to the operation room burst open and one of the doctors came out. "WE NEED AN ANTIDOTE, STAT!! THIS GIRL IS FOAMING AT HER ESOPHAGUS!! ANTIDOTE, NOW!!"
"Holy shit, it's f--kin' poison," Emily and Kaite yelled together. "Shit isn't holy, and neither is poison," Neji corrected them. "Shut up!"
Me: That was the longest chapter in the face of the Earth!
Emily: No it wasn't!! Have you even opened Pride and Prejudice?!!
Me: How do you know about Pride and Prejudice?
Katie: I gave it to her to read as a punishment for breaking into my room.
Emily: Sad thing was...I enjoyed it!!
Tsunade and Me: HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone: Please review!!
