Wow, two chapters in one day, that's great!! I have nothing to say except that this is an epic chapter. enjoy! :)

"I'll fight this guy." Choji growled.

"Are you sure?" Tenshi asked him with concern in her voice.

"Yes."

"Don't be too long ok?"

"Alright." Said Choji glaring at Jirobo.

As the others left, Kiba noticed something about his squad. "Hey Tenshi?" He asked her.

"Yeah?"

"Did you realize that you're the only girl?" He asked.

"Not until now but I don't mind, most of the girls back home are too girly for me to hang out with." She replied.

Kiba laughed. "Yeah, you're not like the other girls Tenshi." He smiled at her. Kiba has had a crush on Tenshi for some time now; he was just too embarrassed to tell her.

They planned their next attack but it failed once more. Kidomaru was a little too smart for them.

"Go," Said Neji wanting to fight Kidomaru. "I'll be right behind you." Naruto seemed upset about leaving his teammates behind.

"Ok, since there's only 2 ninja left and there are 4 of us, 2 of us can fight while the others get the box Sasuke's in." Said Shikamaru.

"Right." They said in unison.

"Let's go!"

Kiba and Shikamaru distracted Tayuya and Sakon while Naruto and Tenshi got the box. "Happy birthday Naruto," Said Tenshi handing him the box. "It's a Sasuke!"

"Gee, I've always wanted one." Naruto said sarcastically. A figure came out and snatched the box from Naruto. It was Kimimaru!

"You're all weak." He said.

"Hey! Give Sasuke back!" Naruto yelled. Sakon charged at Kiba while Kimimaru ran off with Naruto right behind him.

"Kiba!!" Tenshi yelled running to Kiba but ended up getting pushed off the tree along with Kiba. Tenshi grabbed Sakon's arm and pulled him down with them.

"Tenshi! Kiba!" Shikamaru yelled as they started falling.

"Shit!" Tenshi yelled as the ground below her was getting bigger and bigger. She flipped around and landed gracefully. As she landed, she could hear Kiba fighting Sakon not too far away. She started to walk over to them but stopped. "No," She said to herself. "You can't change the outcome of this battle, Tenshi. Just let it take its natural course…no matter how beat up Kiba will get…"

"Oh look, another one." Said a voice behind Tenshi. She turned around and saw Sakon. Ukon was the one fighting Kiba.

"Oh shit." Tenshi managed to say before Sakon backhanded her sending her flying into a giant rock. "Yeah…I'm going to feel that tomorrow," Tenshi mumbled to herself as she got up. "Shadow claw jutsu!" Her hands turned black and monstrous with a glossy shine and had long sharp claws. Tenshi charged at Sakon lashing her large claws at him.

He threw a kunai at Tenshi and it went right through her right hand. Black liquid splattered everywhere as her hand started to regenerate.

"Oh now look at what you did!" Tenshi yelled. "You got ink all over me!"

"That black goo is ink? HA! Pathetic." Sakon laughed.

"You're one to talk." Tenshi crossed her arms over her chest. That seemed to have pissed him off and he started running at Tenshi.

"Tenshi get out of the way!!" Kiba yelled as he pushed her out of the way and took the blow for her.

"KIBA!!" Tenshi yelled. She crawled over to him and looked at his wound. It was a large wound on his stomach. "Kiba…I'm sorry."

"Don't be," Kiba smiled weakly as he stroked Tenshi's cheek. "But you so owe me one."

"I'll take care of this." Tenshi growled as she got up. Still having her claws, she did some hand signs. "Shadow Angel jutsu!" Large black wings sprouted from her back and her eyes slowly faded to black.

"Whoa." Kiba's eyes widened. Ukon finally joined Sakon in the scene.

"So, she's the Shadow Angel Lord Orochimaru was talking about, eh?" Sakon asked.

"Let's finish her off." Ukon smirked. They ran at Tenshi with great speed but as soon as they got close to her, she vanished into thin air. "What the…?"

"Over here." Tenshi chimed from behind them. She got them both with her claws and they went flying. "Come on Kiba! We have to get out of here." She picked him up and flew to the forest close by. She put Kiba down and nearly collapsed on the ground.

"Tenshi, are you ok?" Kiba asked her.

"Yeah, this jutsu takes up a lot of my chakra. It's funny 'cause this is supposed to be my true form." Tenshi smiled.

"So you're an angel?" Kiba asked.

"Yes, if my name wasn't enough for anyone to figure it out." Tenshi laughed a bit at her reply. Her wings retracted and her eyes went back to normal.

"Boo." Said Ukon from behind them. They turned around with fear in their eyes. "I'll finish you!"

Expecting an impact from Ukon's attack, both Kiba and Tenshi closed their eyes and waited for it but it never came. They opened their eyes to see a puppet blocking the attack.

"Who are you?" Sakon asked the guy not too far from the puppet.

"I'm an allay of the Leaf; a shinobi of the Sand." He replied.

"It's about time you showed up." Tenshi smirked at Kankuro.

"Hey! Didn't you come in a group of three?" Kiba asked him.

"The other two went ahead, 'cause you guys couldn't hack it." Kankuro replied.

"Watch it buddy, these guys aren't exactly lightweights," Kiba growled. "Behind you!"

Sakon came up from behind Kankuro and grabbed onto his head. "W-what is this?" Kankuro asked.

"Be careful! He's going to try and combined your body with his!" Kiba yelled. Just then, like at the chunin exams, Kankuro's face started to crack and sand started falling from it. It was a puppet but it was different then Crow.

"This one's…a puppet too?" Sakon asked.

"I guess that jutsu of yours doesn't work on puppets," Said Kankuro jumping out from the thing wrapped in bandages. " We Sand shinobi aren't pushovers like our friends from the Leaf. Oh, and standing as close as you are to my friend the Black Ant…big mistake." Kankuro's puppet got Sakon with sharp blades from its arms.

"I'm helping you." Said Tenshi getting up.

"No, you seem to have used up most of your chakra before I showed up. Just let me handle this." Said Kankuro.

"No way!" Tenshi yelled. "This was my battle! I'm finishing it!"

Sakon started running at them while they were arguing. Kankuro make Crow throw a poisoned blade at him but just as it was about it hit him, he grabbed Tenshi and used her as a human shield.

"Tenshi!!" Kankuro and Kiba yelled.
