Glaciero's POV
There were three things I knew. One: Markan used to be my father's best friend and was now a successful crime boss, who was probably worth more dead than alive. Two: he now stood infront of me with the intention of killing me while my arm bled through the gauze I had wrapped it in. Three: no one would come rescue me this time.
'Only one thing to do at this point,' I thought pulling myself together and standing up and
unsheathing my sword. 'Grit your teeth and fight!'
"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh!" I yelled running at him, my drawn sword pointing at his stomach. I
sliced through the air as he leaned to the left, dodging it. I kept slicing as he just smiled at me, almost mockingly. Suddenly, he grabbed my right wrist and squeezed it hard, making me grimace in pain. His foot lifted and kicked me in the stomach, sending me across the dirt on my back. I slowly sat up and saw the sword at his feet. He laughed.
"Oh? So the Nowack has a new toy from when I last saw you?" he said nudging it with his foot. "You should be more careful with it, though. Something could happen to it!" He
kicked it to his left, it making a trail in the dirt as it went. "Get away from it!" I yelled retrieving 2 kunai and holding one in each hand. I ran at him, doing hand signs as I went. "Claw Cyclone!" I began spinning, both the kunai and myself swirling into a tornado of anger. I executed my attacks as quickly as possible, but he kept avoiding them with ease. Finally the kunai pierced both of his shoulders as he cried out in pain and threw me off of him. I landed on my back as the kunai left my hands and were sent in opposite directions. I looked up to see Markan smiling.
"Why, Deary?" he asked holding his shoulders. "Why would you hurt me like this, after all we've been through. We used to be so close."
"Shut up and tell me where he is!" I screamed as I charged at him, knuckles bared. He only smiled as I aimed a punch at his head. He leaned slightly to the right, dodging it as another punch flew past his stomach. I kept throwing punches one after the other, him dodging and backing up after each one. Just then he grabbed my right fist and
wrapped his hand around it tightly. I punched with my other fist only for the same thing to be done to it.
Kiba's POV
"Glaciero, after all this time I thought you would have changed!" Markan said, still tightly holding her fists. "But no, sadly. You're still the same, weak, smart talker that I abandoned all those years ago." Her face was enraged like I'd never seen it before, her teeth bared and her eyes piercing.
"I'll i kill /i you, you pathetic piece of-" Markan kneed her in the stomach hard,
knocking the breath out of her and making her slump over. Markan grabbed her throat and lifted her high in the air. He laughed for a good 10 seconds.
"Just like your old man. Tsk, tsk. I thought you would've put up more of a fight," he said as Glaciero kicked in the air gasping for breath and trying to pry his hand off her throat. "Oh well, I'll just finish this now!" He dropped her and punched her in the stomach with
incredible strength, sending her flying through the air. She landed hard on her back about 7 yards away from him. "Please, Shino," I begged "Can't we do i anything? /i " He shook his head. "It's to risky. Just stay low and keep quite." He raised an eyebrow. "Why do you care so much, anyway? She's just a sand genin who is nothing but rude to the both of us." I thought for a minute. "I-I... I don't know."
"It's such a shame," Markan said as Glaciero slowly rose to her feet, her forehead bleeding. "I wanted to play with you a little longer, but I'm afraid I can't forgive you for that little 'stunt.'"
"Don't... you dare... talk about forgiveness..." she panted. "I'll i never /i forgive you!" He began laughing, slowly at first then began growing hysterical.
"The only way i you /i could kill me is with laughter, Deary, and at this rate you probably will!" He reached behind his back and pulled out a demon wind shuriken. "Now then, why don't you die!" He wound up and threw it like a frisbee directly at her. She quickly jumped into the air, the blade spinning underneath her feet and disappearing behind her. She landed and smiled.
"Is i that /i the best you can do?" she asked. Markan smiled.
"You shouldn't let your guard down." Her smile disappeared as her head turned behind her. I looked to see that the shuriken was coming back at her like a boomerang. She jumped as the shuriken passed under her body a second time as she landed on her stomach. I looked to Markan.
'No... what's he-' I wanted to yell and warn her, but Shino covered my mouth with his hand. I struggled and fought back, but I was to late.
' b Glaciero! /i '
Glaciero's POV
I swiftly leapt over the shuriken as it passed under me a second time. I landed on my feet and hunched over.
'That was... to close. Gotta be more careful.' I heard something whizzing towards me and realized my back was to Markan, so I began to turn around. However, I was to late. My sword was going 60 mph at me as it plunged into my stomach, below my ribcage.
