The two groups remained in a standoff for some time; they stood there and starred each other down.
Kiba remained very calm for someone who had a knife to his throat. He looked down at the little woman before him, and then he glanced at the other three women, making his observation about each.
"What are we going to do?" asked Shikamaru to Neji.
"I have no idea." Replied Neji.
"Just look at her." Said Naruto. Neji and Shikamaru turned to him."Isn't she beautiful?"
"What are you talking about?" asked Neji. Then he and Shikamaru looked over to Halibel.
"Naruto" said Neji as he turned back to Naruto."We have more important matters at hand!" Naruto still had a twitter pated looked on his face.
"And have you forgotten that you're in a relationship?" asked Shikamaru. Then Naruto's eyes burst open and a look of concern came over him.
"Oh shit." He groaned.
"Precisely." Said Neji.
"You guys can't tell Sakura about this." Said Naruto. Shikamaru turned to Neji.
"We won't if you get your head in the game." Said Shikamaru turning back to him.
"Yes, yes anything." Pleaded Naruto.
"Alright then." Said Neji turning to Shikamaru."We're all set then."
"Except." Said Shikamaru then he turned to face Kiba."We have that problem."
Kiba stood in silence as he observed Apacci.
"Kiba you ok?" asked Shikamaru.
Kiba looked down at Apacci.
"You know I'm getting out of this right." Said Kiba with a smile, then with a sly wink.
"Your one dumb bastard if you don't understand what kind of situation this is." Apacci retorted.
"I understand." Said Kiba."You're a woman overstepping your boundaries." Then a murderous fire grew in Apacci's eyes, and then she held the knife closer to his throat.
"I'd just like to see you try." She said.
"Fair enough, but I should warn you-" began Kiba but then midway he punched Apacci in the face, sending her flying to the ground by her comrades.
"I'm Rick James bitch." Said Kiba as he raised his arms up and returned to his group.
"Are you alright?" asked Naruto to Kiba as he approached.
"Fine, never better." Replied Kiba. Then he wrapped his arms around them and brought them into a circle."My friends I've made a great discovery." Neji and Shikamaru looked at him concerned. Kiba glanced over his shoulder at the women.
Mila Rose was helping Apacci to her feet. Apacci stood up and grimaced at Kiba.
"Talk about babes in the woods." Said Kiba with a wink." There's four of them and four of us."
"No,No,No,No,NO!" screamed Neji in Kiba's ear. Shikamaru reached up and slapped Kiba in the face.
"You Idiot." He said. Kiba recovered and stepped away from them.
"How could you boys not see the opportunity here?" asked Kiba.
"This isn't like a porno Kiba." Said Neji.
"I know cause this is real." Said Kiba with a smile.
"Remember we're on a mission." Said Naruto. Kiba glanced over and looked at the women, specifically Mila Rose.
"I think I gonna try for the dark chick with the rack." Said Kiba turned back to him.
"Are you even listening?" asked Neji.
"Relax." Said Kiba turning around."These bitches don't know bout my swag." Then Kiba turned around and headed back towards the women.
"Why?Why?" said Neji."Why couldn't we trade him for Choji."
Kiba walked back up to the women.
"That one's coming back." Said Sung-Sun.
"I'll take care of him." Said Mila Rose.
"No." said Apacci angrily."He's mine."
"Good news ladies." Said Kiba as he approached them, the four women looked at Kiba in confusion."There's a party in my pants and you're all invited." And just like that all four women's jaws dropped.
Neji, Shikamaru, and Naruto buried their faces in their hands.
"So what do you say." Said Kiba.
"Oh, Fuck." Groaned Naruto in embarrassment.
"HE'S NOT AFFILIATED WITH US!" yelled Neji.
"Enough of this." Said Apacci. Then she lunged forward at Kiba.
"Oh not this one." Said Kiba with a sigh. The Apacci ran up and swung her fist at Kiba, but he blocked. Then Kibe leaned down to her."Sorry sweetie." He said."But I was kind of hoping to get your friends." Apacci groaned with disgust and then through another punch to which Kiba blocked again.
"Well what are you waiting for?" asked Halibel to Mila Rose and Sung-Sun. The two looked to their leader."Get in and help her." Mila Rose and Sung-Sun nodded and then jumped into the battle.
Kiba dodged a kick form Apacci and then noticed the other two women were coming his way, and a big smile grew on his face.
"Alright." He said."Now we've got a foursome." Just then Apacci threw another kick but Kiba dodged.
Then Mila Rose ran up and swung her sword, but Kiba once again dodged now a little more frightened.
"Holy Fuck." He said dodging the sword. Then suddenly Sung-Sun appeared behind Kiba and grabbed him.
"No piggy-backs." Yelled Kiba as he reached around and grabbed Sung-Sun. Then he pulled her off him and threw her into Apacci.
Neji, Naruto, and Shikamaru watched on as Kiba dodged back and forth between the three women warriors.
"You think we should help him?" asked Shikamaru.
"No,no." answered Neji."He seems to be enjoying himself far too much. Besides the one he punched is taking quite a liking to him." He looked over to see Apacci furiously attacking Kiba.
"Yea, cause girls love flowers, chocolates and a punch to the face." Said Naruto.
Just then they heard Kiba yell "Fuckin Hell" as he dodged yet another attack. Naruto and Shikamaru looked to Neji.
"Alright." Said Neji."Let's get it over with."
Kiba dodged left and right as Mila Rose swung her sword at him. Just then Apacci and Sung-Sun came at him from the side, Kiba was surrounded.
Just then Naruto stepped in front of Apacci, Shikamaru before Mila Rose, and Neji before Sung-Sun. The appearance of the three male ninjas forced the three hollows back.
Then groups now reunited and faced the opposition.
"Why'd you interrupt?" asked Kiba."I was just about to turn my swag up."
"Would somebody shut him up!" yelled Mila Rose.
"I'd be happy to do it myself." Said Apacci.
"Shut up Whore." Replied Kiba. Apacci then stood there stunned."C"mon bitch." Continued Kiba."Sit on my f-"
But then Shikamaru quickly grabbed Kiba and covered his mouth.
"For once in your life shut up." Said Shikamaru to him. Kiba looked up at him and made a muffled reply. At that time Akamaru came to his master's side.
Then Naruto and Neji stepped forward.
"I am sorry." Said Neji."Please forgive the rudeness of our colleague." The women looked on with skeptical looks."But unlike him we actually have some manners and know how to treat ladies."
"We don't want your apology." Spoke up Mila Rose. Naruto and Neji looked at them confused." All men are the same. You all want the same thing."
"Wrong madam." Said Neji."We're gentlemen." However the women didn't seem changed by their comments.
"Bah." Grunted Apacci."This is why I hate men." At that moment Kiba was able to free his mouth from Shikamaru's hand.
"You'd never get any better than me baby." He said with a laugh before Shikamaru covered his mouth again. Apacci looked at Kiba in anger and annoyance. Neji then looked to Naruto with a 'I don't know what to do now' look.
"I am Naruto Uzumaki." He said."This is Neji Hyugga." Then he turned to his other two comrades."That is Shikamaru Nara and Kiba Inuzuka. We are leaf ninja. Sent here on a mission to find the source of four strange energies.
Neji then gave a more detailed look at them."And by the way your dressed I can tell you're not from around here."
"So they've figured it out." Said Sung-Sun. Just then Halibel stepped up."Correct. We are hollows."
Neji and Naruto looked to each other."Hollows?" they said confused.
"I am Tia Halibel." She said."Espada number three."
"Espada?" said Naruto as he looked at Neji confused."What's that." Neji shrugged in reply.
"And these are my fraccion." Continued Halibel."Apacci, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun."
"What the hell is an Espada?" asked Naruto.
"Or a hollow?" added Neji.
"And we are on a mission as well." Told Halibel. Then she slowly drew out her sword."We've been sent here to gauge the strengths of the fighters here."
Naruto and Neji looked to each other before replying.
"There's no need to fight." Said Naruto."Perhaps there is another way, a more peaceful solution."
"There is no other way." Replied Halibel."We have a duty to do."
Then suddenly Halibel and her fraccion flung themselves at the leaf ninja.
Shikamaru released Kiba as he realized they were under attack.
"Oh crap." Groaned Naruto.
"Well I guess it can't be helped." Said Shikamau, and then the two groups clashed.
It was Naruto vs. Halibel,
Neji vs. Sung-Sun,
Shikamaru vs Mila Rose,
And Kiba vs. Apacci.
