Marikosa woke up with the sun shining on her face. She remembered her chat with Sasuke last night. They had talked all night.
She smiled knowing that she found someone that would be her new best friend.
Marikosa was excited. They had a day off and there were so many things to do. Maybe she could go eat with Sasuke and Neji. Or maybe she could go shopping.
She took a quick shower and got dressed in her usual outfit. She slowly made her way down the stairs.
Gaara, Midnite, Kakashi, Sasuke, Neji, and surprisingly Shikamaru were all sitting around the table eating breakfast.
"Good Morning Mari!" Sasuke greeted her. He earned a glare from a certain Hyuuga for giving Marikosa a nick name.
Marikosa blushed a bit. Aww Sasuke was so sweet.
She sat down on the table and she noticed that Midnite once again was having a glaring contest with Gaara.
Oh dear. Looks like their at it again.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Midnite glared heatedly at Gaara and he glared icily right back. If looks could kill they would both be dead.
Gaara was still angry at her because she had carelessly pushed him down the stairs and Midnite was angry at Gaara because she felt like it.
Ugh. I should go get ready for the sparring. Wonder if their ready. Can't wait to kick their butts.
Midnite kicked her chair back making a screeching sound along the tiles. She stood up and stalked up the stairs.
Everyone had finished breakfast when Midnite came back down.
She looked like she did yesterday. The sunglasses and everything. Come to think of it she didn't even take her sunglasses off when she was sleeping!
"Okay. I'm taking you losers up on that offer. Kakashi you're up first, Sasuke you're second, Gaara you're third. Any objections?" Midnite hissed, daring them to object.
"Let'." Gaara said bitingly.
The 5 fighters stalked out of the house and trailing behind them were the 2 bystanders.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"The rules to this spar. No killing." Marikosa announced loudly to the 5 shinobi.
"You know what I change my mind I'll battle all three of you at the same time. Should be more fun." Midnite stated lazily.
"Hmm…we'll see who wins." Kakashi stated calmly giving her an eye smile.
"Hn" Sasuke was secretly angered that this girl thought that she was better than him.
Gaara just glared daggers at the back of her head.
"Well then. Begin!"
Everyone got into their fighting stances. Sasuke lowered himself into a simple taijutsu stance. Kakashi just stood their looking bored. Gaara was standing with his arms crossed and his sand swirling around him.
Midnite took our her Kusoyome and leveled it to her eye once again. She leaned forward and beckoned them to come get her.
Sand, shuriken, and kunai came flying at her all at once. There was an explosion and the dust cleared. Midnite was not there.
"Behind you." Midnite whispered to the 3 shinobi.
They all jumped around and Sasuke met her in hand to hand combat. He aimed a kick to her head and she caught his foot. Flinging him to the ground he skidded into a tree.
Kakashi came ate her next. "Chidori!" he yelled his hand coming up with blue chakra. He ran towards her with amazing speed.
Midnite suddenly reached out grabbed Kakashi's wrist and flung him into a tree. She yawned and beckoned Gaara to come get her.
His sand wrapped around her. "Sand coffin!" he yelled. The sand crushed her.
Yes I got her.
"Ah. Ah. Ah. Gaara you're getting slow."Midnite said from behind him.
She punched him and sent a kick to his head. His sand was too slow to react and went flying into the same tree Kakashi had just gone through.
Midnite leaned back and yawned. "You guys are really boring."
Kakashi, sasuke, and Gaara came at her with all they had. She pulled out her Kusoyome and nearly sliced their heads off. They watched as silver, black, and red pieces of hair went falling to the ground.
"Lightning Blade!" Kakashi yelled.
"Firestyle: Fireball jutsu!" Sasuke yelled.
"Sand Tsunami" Gaara yelled.
All three jutsus met with a deafening explosion, all aimed at Midnite. They thought that they had got her until they looked up.
Midnite was in the sky and she reached behind her neck and threw a rain of senbon needles at the three.
They all dodged the needles but barely. She landed on the ground silently in front of them.
Midnite tucked her sword behind her. "Is that the best you can do?"
They all rushed at her. Kakashi and Sasuke with their taijutsu and Gaara with his sand. Kakashi and Sasuke battled with her.
Midnite turned sensing a presence behind her. It was too late. Gaara's sand just managed to scratch her chin. She jumped back.
No one could see the miniscule scratch on her cheek. "Ah you are getting better. But I am holding back on you. Let me show you the true power of my bloodline."
They watched as Midnite took off her sunglasses her eyes closed. They never saw what color they were.
"Karmashiro of the Dark!" Midnite spoke.
She snapped her eyes opened and the three shinobi took a step back as they looked in to her totally black eyes. In the middle of her black eyes were two twin white swirls. Kakashi looked up to see the sky turning black.
This is bad.
They watched as black chakra twisted and turned over Midnite's body. Behind her shadows of snakes and dragons were hissing menacingly. In her cyclone of black chakra they saw rocks and ice shards swirling at a high speed. She looked truly menacing. Like a dark angel or a demon.
Such killing intent. What is this black chakra? I have never heard of it. This power and bloodline is unknown to the shinobi world. How can such power exist? Kakashi thought.
Her eyes, that dark chakra. What is she? A demon? No, it's her bloodline. She is stronger than me. Stronger than Itachi. No! I cannot think that. I must defeat her. Sasuke frowned and he prepared for attack.
Such darkness she looks so dangerous yet beautiful…wait. What? I must be going mad. I did not just call that monster beautiful. Ugh. Gaara brought his sand up again, setting up for the attack.
Maybe I'll just beat them up a little bit. Nah, I'll beat them up a lot. Let's see them beat this. Midnite raised her arms and threw them forward in attack.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Hey do you think your sister will try to kill them?" Shikamaru asked in a lazy tone.
"Um I'm not really sure maybe. I just hope she doesn't hurt Sasuke." Marikosa answered.
"Ah. Having a little crush aren't you?" Shikamaru smirked and turned to the blushing girl.
"N-n-no! Ugh. I can't believe you think that.' Marikosa yelled even though she was turning a bright red.
"Hey you guys! Watcha doing?" Naruto came bounding in yelling at the top of his lungs.
"Sasuke, Kakashi, and Gaara are fighting Midnite." Neji answered quietly.
"Oh did Midnite die yet? Kakashi-sensei is the best. Gaara will crush her or something!" Naruto yelled, worried for the black haired girl.
"Are you kidding me? That monster can kill anything!" Ino yelled right back, pissed that this girl was so pretty.
They obviously didn't see Midnite because they didn't seem scared that was until Midnite showed up in the field in front of them.
'Holy crap! What is she?" Sakura and Ino yelled at the same time. Dangerous. Was whispered through everyone's mind.
They saw Midnite raise her hands and attack.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kakashi dodged as a huge boulder went flying right by his head. She is fast. He flipped over and made a couple shadow clones.
That should do the trick.
He spoke to soon. The shadow animals behind her shot forward and passed through the shadow clones. The clones poofed out of existence. Midnite grinned evilly.
Sasuke had his chidori ready in his hand. He rushed forward and struck Midnite. The glowing ball of chakra exploded and vanished.
What? It didn't even mark her. Impossible!
Sasuke jumped back on defense.
Gaara shot his sand forward. Sand coffin! His sand was pushed back by the sheer force of the black chakra.
All three shinobi did not notice the black tendrils of chakra behind them.
"Sasuke, Kakashi, Gaara! Watch out!" Marikosa yelled in fear that her friend's would get hurt.
The three whipped around just in time to have Midnite's black chakra wrap around their throat.
Sasuke tried and escape jutsu but nothing happened.
The chakra binds squeezed tighter and tighter. They were all losing consciousness.
"Stop Midnite! You've done enough!" Marikosa jumped in front of her sister showing no fear of the black chakra and shadows.
The tendrils squeezed tighter once then released the three shinobi letting them drop ungracefully to the ground.
Kakashi, Sasuke, and Gaara had their eyes open long enough to see Midnite deactivate her bloodline and smirk at them triumphantly before they slipped into the dark.
