Chapter 6: The Unexpected Feelings
Kameko concentrated for a few moments. Then in a flash she opened up her eyes, but they were no longer their normal onyx color, they were an icy black.
"Da-kugan." she said to herself. She stared down her opponent forcing him to look at her. Kameko hoped to god that Haku could see through his mask.
Sasuke stared at her. "What the?" he asked out loud. He had never seen anything like it. He has heard of the Arakawa clan for their water attacks, but he has never heard of them having a bloodline limit.
Naruto yelled to Haku. "I'm going to break your mirrors!" He then charged Haku. Having all of his attention.
"No Naruto!" hollered Kameko. Damn it, Naruto! I need his attention for this to work. I can't hold out much longer. Kameko thought.
"No time to waste." Said Haku. "I'll stop you now!" He threw needles at Naruto. Naruto fell, but he got up again and ran in a circle, trying to dodge all the attacks. Kameko was starting to worry. She knew that she would be at her limit soon. She had to do it now.
Kameko threw some kunai at Haku. She needed his attention. Haku dodged them all.
Haku then looked at Kameko. "Hm? I wonder your eyes do..." Kameko was silently praying that she could keep her eyes like that long enough. She knew it took a strain on her eyes, that was the downfall, but she was glad that Haku looked at her eyes. "What!?" Said Haku as he was falling from the mirrors. "I can't see."
Darkness covered Haku's vision. Kameko sighed out of relief. Naruto and Sasuke just stared. Haku got up, and went back into his mirrors. Since he fell right in front of them, he just felt his way back into them. They were only an inch away.
"What did you do?" Questioned Haku
"I just made it so that you couldn't see!" answered Kameko.
"Naruto, Sasuke." They nodded and charged towards Haku. Haku threw needles. One hit Naruto. Naruto yelped a little.
"I know where you are now. I can still hear where you are." Haku came out of his mirrors and attacked Naruto and Sasuke.
Kameko knew that this was the time for her to do it. She prepared to make hand signs to do her attack but a sudden pain shot through her. "No!" She muttered to herself. She
Inwardly cursed herself for not being strong enough to hold out. She didn't get to the attack.
She had only used it once before, the only time was when she discovered it. Her parents never had this, nor her brother. She only
Learned of it from scrolls that she found in her compound. No has had received the bloodline limit in decades.
Hence, she has had no training with it. She only wanted it as a last resort. Because of the effects, but now she knows that she has to train with it. To get stronger.
While she was thinking, Haku's vision returned. Haku smiled under his mask. "I can see you now." Then Haku threw needles towards Kameko. "I will finish you now!"
Kameko grabbed her kunai and dodged as many as she could, but she was hit multiple times. Naruto and Sasuke recovered from the last attack and stood up.
Naruto kept attacking, but he reached his limit and collapsed. Sasuke was able to see a pattern in Haku's movements. Kameko got up and stood by Naruto. He was still alive.
"This is taking too long." Haku said. He threw needles simultaneously. Sasuke was blocking most of them, but not all. Kameko was trying her best, but she couldn't keep up with the speed. She was trying to think of a plan.
Haku threw needles towards the knocked out Naruto. But before they could hit him, Sasuke grabbed Naruto and placed him in another spot.
Haku stared at Sasuke in confusement. So did Kameko. Then when Sasuke looked up, his Sharingan was activated.
Haku thought quickly of a way to catch Sasuke off guard. He decided to attack his teammates instead of him directly. Haku shot out of the mirrors and charged towards Kameko.
Kameko was deep in thought and didn't notice that Haku was coming towards her until the last minute. She looked up and saw him. There was no time for her to dodge, so she decided to take it and hope for the best. But she knew that she wouldn't be able to go on after this.
Then, a flash of blue came in front of her. The needles stopped. Kameko looked to see Sasuke standing in front of her. The needles that were intended for her were in Sasuke's back. He looked like a porcupine, that's how many needles there were.
"Sasuke…" She said. Sasuke there. Haku was on the floor before him. "You baka! Why?"
"I just moved. I thougt that I was the one who needed your protection. Not the other way." He sais softly while smirking.
"I didn't tell you to protect me." Kameko cried.
"I know, but in the end you are the weak one. So, I had to…" Kameko clenched her fists and closed her eyes. Sasuke fell; he was too hurt to stand. Kameko opened her eyes and saw him falling. She threw her arms out and caught him. She slowly laid him on her lap. Kameko felt like she wanted to kill herself as well. She didn't know why she wanted this, and she had never really felt anything like this before. She had no clue what she was feeling.
Naruto looked at his teammates. He clenched his fists in anger. He shakily got up, and wiped the blood away from his mouth.
"Get up." Begged Kameko. "If you are so strong get up!" she started to tear. Emotions got the best of her.
"I promised myself that I would….kill him, my brother. Kameko, you can, kill him. Don't let your dream die." Sasuke's head dropped and he closed his eyes. Kameko couldn't move.
Kameko continued to hold Sasuke. "Didn't you say that you're the one who's going to kill him? You can't do that if you're dead you baka! And what about our fight!" Tears were flowing from her eyes. Kameko said as she closed her eyes.
Haku got up and looked at Naruto. "This is the way of a shinobi. Many will die in battle."
"Shut up!" said Naruto.
Kameko looked up at Naruto. Smoke rose into the air and swirled around Naruto.
"You will pay for this." Red chakra covered Naruto from head to toe. "I'm going to kill you!"
Naruto's appearance changed. His teeth were sharper and he had claws. The needles in his back shot out, and his wounds healed themselves. His eyes turned red.
"Naruto…" whispered Kameko.
The chakra grew and swirled in a ball all over the mirrors. Naruto charged towards Haku. Haku got ready to defend himself. He threw needles but Naruto easily dodged.
Naruto punched a mirror and broke it, he chased Haku down and caught him, and then he threw him.
Kameko was amazed. She just stared; she knew she wouldn't be able to do anything anyways.
Haku flew across the bridge. He tumbled and rolled until he finally hit the ground. Then, all the mirrors broke. The jutsu was broken.
Haku slowly got up. Naruto charged at him again, but stopped before he punched him.
"What's the matter? Aren't you going to avenge your friend's death?" Haku's mask fell. Naruto grunted and punched him, but not with a lot of force. "Was your vow just empty words?" said Haku. "I live to protect something precious to me. If that is not your case, then what do you live for?"
Kameko was still holding Sasuke. She laid him down on the floor. "I have to go to the others. I said I that I wouldn't let anyone die, but I failed with you. I won't let the others die. I vow this to you. I'll keep them safe."
Kameko ran to where Naruto and Haku were standing. Kameko was pissed off. "You!" she yelled. She looked at Haku and saw his face. "So, now you show your face, good. Now I can see your face when I kill you!"
Kameko charged towards Haku. She was punching and kicking him. Haku managed to block some, but not all. He threw some needles, but Kameko blocked them.
On the other side of the bridge where Kakashi had caught Zabuza with his blood hounds, Kakashi concentrated for one final attack.
"Chidori!" he yelled. Zabuza couldn't move. Kakashi charged at Zabuza. It was over.
Haku sensed this. "I am sorry, but you cannot kill me."
"What?!" Kameko yelled and before Haku transported, she grabbed his shirt.
Haku transported to where Zabuza and Kakashi was. Kakashi was. Kakashi was in the middle of his attack when he saw Haku and Kameko appear.
He knew that he couldn't stop. Haku was in front of Kameko and was hit first. The Chidori pierced through Haku. Blood was splattered everywhere. Kakashi's hand went through Haku and hit Kameko.
"Thank you. I knew you were a treasure." The dogs around Zabuza disappeared. Zabuza grabbed his sword and heaved it towards Kakashi.
Kakashi grabbed both Haku and Kameko and dodged the attack.
Zabuza smirked. "Good job for someone who is holding two corpses." Kakashi laid down Haku and Kameko. He looked at the two. Haku's eyes were open, so Kakashi closed them. He then turned to Kameko. Her eyes flickered.
"It's okay……" She said, using her last bit of energy. Her head turned to the side. Kakashi mourned for the lost comrade.
"Kameko!" yelled Naruto and Sakura, who was watching. Sakura cried for her lost teammate.
"Damn you!" yelled Naruto towards Zabuza. He clenched his fists and growled. He was about to attack.
"Stay out of this Naruto. Zabuza is mine." Commanded Kakashi.
"Naruto?" asked Sakura. "Naruto! Where's Sasuke?" she said worriedly.
A tear ran down his face. "No…"said Sakura. She knew what that meant. Her beloved Sasuke was…gone.
"Sakura…"sighed Kakashi.
"Pay attention!" said Zabuza. Kakashi engaged in battle with Zabuza.
"Sakura…" started Tazuna, "I can take you to him. As long as we are together, you won't be disobeying your sensei's orders."
"Thank you…" The two ran two Sasuke.
Sakura stopped when she saw his body. Sasuke was lying there, motionless. Sakura kneeled down next to him and started to cry. Tazuna turned his head.
"You are too young to experience death twice in one day."
Sakura continued to cry. She was now leaning on Sasuke.
In the battle between Zabuza and Kakashi, Kakashi was winning. He managed to immobilize one of his opponent's arms.
Naruto watched everything. The fight and Sakura crying. He started to shake and feel remorse for his fallen team mates.
Kakashi and Zabuza stopped momentarily because Gato and his gang of rouge ninja appeared. Gato fired Zabuza and told him that the people behind him were there to kill Zabuza.
Zabuza told Kakashi that the bridge builder was now safe since he is no longer under Gato. Gato walked up to where Haku was lying down and kicked him. Naruto got angry and told Zabuza off for not doing anything. Zabuza started to cry. He told Naruto to give him is Kunai. Naruto threw it to him. Zabuza caught it with his mouth and charged towards Gato.
Gato ran underneath the cover of his employees. Zabuza slaughtered some of them, but was stabbed with many swords. Zabuza still fought. He finally got to Gato and stabbed him. Gato died. Zabuza walked tried to walk to where Haku was, but he fell. Kakashi carried him to where Haku was.
"I can not go where you two are." He said while looking at Haku and Kameko. "Haku, I am sorry that I have never said 'Thank you.' Please forgive me." After that was said snow started to fall. Zabuza smiled. "O how I wish I could have gone where you have." Then Zabuza died.
Sakura was still crying on top of Sasuke. "Sakura…I can't breath with you on top of me." Said a tired Sasuke.
Sakura raised her head in surprise. "Sasuke?! You're alive!" She hugged Sasuke tightly, never wanting to let go.
"Get off of me." He commanded. "What happened? All I remember is the guy in the mask, and Naruto and…"
"Naruto is just fine." Interrupted Sakura. "But the guy in the mask is…dead." Explained Sakura. Tears began to stream down her face again.
"What?!" questioned Sasuke. "Did Naruto…?"
"I don't know, I came in late. Haku was protecting Zabuza and…I was really worried about you, but I knew you wouldn't be taken down!" Sasuke got up. He was still trying to figure out what happened. "Naruto!" yelled Sakura.
Naruto turned around to see Sasuke standing. He smiled, but then frowned when he turned around and saw Kameko lying on the ground.
"Hey!" yelled a rouge ninja. "What about our pay?" The whole gang got angry that they wouldn't get paid because Gato was dead. So they decided to attack the village.
But then the whole village showed up armed; ready to fight. Naruto decided to join in and made one hundred clones. Kakashi did the same, jut not as many. The gang got scared and fled. They knew that they would lose. The village cheered.
Kakashi and Naruto dispatched the jutsu. Sasuke and Sakura went to where Kakashi and Naruto were. Sasuke looked down and saw Kameko.
"Kameko…" started Sasuke. "What happened? Is she…?" Sasuke then kneeled next to Kameko. He put his hand next to his heart.
What's this? What am I feeling? Why do I suddenly want to rip my heart out…
Naruto started to sob. "She was angry. She thought that the guy in the mask killed you. She attacked him. He was going to get away to protect Zabuza from the attack that Kakashi-sensei was doing. She grabbed his shirt to follow…she didn't know what he was doing. She thought he was just escaping. She didn't know she was about to get in the middle of another attack." Naruto explained.
Sasuke looked at Kameko. She was laying there motionless. A tear ran down Sasuke's face. He brushed his hand against her face, without having Sakura and Naruto notice.
"So the whole rolling off the bed thing was a lie..." Kameko moved to see her teammaetes standing before her.
"It wasn't..." Sasuke angrily said, realizing that his idiotic female ally was still alive. "Hn. I thought you were dead." Sasuke got up and crossed his arms. His usual act of coolness began.
"Kameko-chan!" Naruto yelled. He was glad that he wasn't dead after all. Kakashi looked at her and smiled.
"See sensei...I told you not to..." Before Kameko was able to finish her sentance, she blanked out.
Kameko opened her eyes. She sat up quickly but then laid back down. That maneuver of hers was really painful. "That wasn't so good." Kameko decided to look around. She was in her, well her's and Sasuke's room. She looked towards the window, it was night time. The moon was beautiful.
"Kameko-chan! You're awake!" Hollered Naruto. The blonde ninja rushed into the room where she was laying.
"Hey Naruto. So, how long have I been out?" she asked.
"Only a day and a half."
"Oh, how is everyone?" she asked.
"They're fine..." Naruto turned his head to the door and yelled, "Hey guys!" Then, the rest of the team came into the room. They were all smiling.
Kameko looked at her team mates and was glad that they were all ok. "As, I was saying sensei, I told you not to worry." Kakashi smirked and then he patted Kameko's head.
"I'm just glad that that you are alright."
"Me too. Although the chidori penetrated through the other boy and then hit me, it wasn't enough to kill me. I'm not going to go down easily. Ok, Sasuke?" she said looking at the boy with the smug on his face. "Remember that when we fight."
"Hn."
"Kameko," said Kakashi with a stern face. "You better rest, no fighting until you are completely ok. Or else." Kameko rolled her eyes.
"Or else what? You'll kill me?" Kakashi stiffened at this, but Kameko just smiled. "Been there, done that. You better be nice sensei, you owe me one." Kameko's innocent smile became devilish. Kakashi sweat dropped and left the room.
"I better go rest now too. Get better Kameko-chan! Nite!" yelled Naruto as he quickly waved to Kameko. Sakura was still standing there, and Kameko noticed this.
"What's wrong Sakura?" She asked concerned.
"Nothing...it's just, don't kid around about dying." she said hastily.
Kameko was surprised that she cared, but she assumed that Sakura was like that because Sasuke was almost dead. Sakura then left the room. All that was left was Sasuke. Kameko sighed and rolled to her side.
Sasuke looked at his teammate. He didn't know what he was feeling. It was strange and new. He sighed and got onto his side of the bed. He started to think about the battle. He remembered Kameko having different colored eyes. What was that? Sasuke couldn't sleep, he had to know.
"Kameko" he called
Kameko was half awake. She was still tired from what happened. "Huh?" she replied weakly.
"You know, in the mirrors, you had black eyes. What was that?"
Kameko grunted. "I'll tell you later, I'm too tired."
Sasuke narrowed his eyes and glared at the girl. He then started to think about the other parts of the battle. When he saved Kameko was the one he was having the most trouble on. He didn't know why he did that.
"Hey, Sasuke..." said Kameko. Sasuke turned to face her. "Thank you, for saving me." Sasuke was stunned. He couldn't believe that she said thank you. Kameko looked at Sasuke and hardened her stare to a glare. "If you tell anyone what I said, I will hurt you."
Sasuke smirked. "As if, and don't you mean that you'll kill me?"
Kameko sighed. "No. that would contradict my promise to not let any of my team mates die." She said plainly.
Sasuke looked at her again, and then smiled. "Speaking of death, since I'm not dead, you are not allowed to kill Itachi anymore." Kameko's eyes shot open and she stared at her roommate.
"Don't forget about our fight. I'm going to kick your ducky-butt." Kameko huffed.
"Sure you will..."sighed Sasuke."And...Thanks too..." Kameko was really surprised when the great Uchiha spoke those last words.
"What for?" she asked, curious.
"For being a fan girl and crying while holding me." Sasuke smirked. Kameko raised her arm and was about to punch Sasuke as hard as she could, but Sasuke caught her.
"I. AM. NOT. A. STUPID. FANGIRL!" Kameko said while grinding her teeth. Sasuke was still holding her arm.
Sasuke's heart was on fire. What is this? He thought. Why does she make me feel like... Sasuke started to lean closer to Kameko. What the hell am I doing? Sasuke's heart started to race.
Kameko was looking at Sasuke in confusement. She wondered why Sasuke began to lean towards her. She felt an urge to lean forward to, but she decided against it. Sasuke came closer and closer, then it happened.
Sasuke kissed Kameko.
