My brain hurts… Painstakingly from me to you, I give you a fighting scene that took me forever to write. Enjoy!
Kakashi groaned, as he stood up. Damn Akatsuki. He examined the campsite, and the damaged that had been done. Tree's were missing and the tents were beyond repair, while luckily everyone was alive… Well, lucky for them. Bad luck that their enemies were still alive though.
Sakura was a few feet away, groaning herself, although she had yet to stand up, while across from him stood the enemy. Kisame Hoshigaki. How the shark-like man found them, or why he was attacking them was unknown to Kakashi. Kakashi did know that Kisame didn't come alone, he brought another. Deidara. Kakashi had fought both before, but really didn't look forward to fighting them again.
Kakashi looked at Kisame, who had his samehade propped up against his shoulder, while he grinned wickedly at Kakashi. Kakashi looked around for Deidara, but couldn't see him. The last time he had seen Deidara, he had been flying above on a clay bird. But the skies were now empty. "Where's your friend?", Kakashi asked, lazily.
"Not sure. Where's your friend?", Kisame asked, flashing his sharp teeth.
Kakashi's visible eye grew alarmingly wide, as he quickly glanced around. Sasuke was missing, as well. Damn't! The first explosion had happened from a clay bird that Deidara had sent to Sasuke, exploding right next to the raven. Kakashi had tried to go to Sasuke, but seconds after the first explosion, Deidara had disappeared and the clay bird he had been riding on had exploded, blowing the campsite away.
Kakashi glared at Kisame, with his visible eye, as his insides burned. The two enemies had been after Sasuke… and they had taken him. "What do you want with Sasuke?", Kakashi asked, as calmly as he could.
"If you have to ask, you'll never know", Kisame said, cryptically, as he shifted his gigantic broadsword on his shoulder, "Don't worry about him, though. Why don't we have our own fun?" Fun? Kakashi growled mentally, as he struggled to stay calm. He didn't have time to have fun with the shark. He had to save Sasuke!
"Kakashi?", Sakura groaned, as she stood up, shakily.
"Sakura! Go find Sasuke", Kakashi told her.
"No way, Kakashi. I'm staying here and fighting with you", Sakura told him. She put her gloves on, before she balled her fists together and glared at Kisame.
Kakashi forced himself to remain calm and not throttle the kunoichi. Right now really wasn't the best time to try his patience. He glared at Kisame, as he tried to reason with his ex-student, "Think about this, wisely, Sakura. If we lose Sasuke, it may be too late to get him back. Who knows what these two are going to do with him"
Sakura sighed, as she cupped her hands together, thinking about it, before understanding lit up her face. She cared for Sasuke for her teammates all the same, and if something happened to one of them, he knew she would be devastated. It had hurt her enough when Sasuke had left Konoha, and left Naruto a wallowing mess of despair.
"Understood! Leave Sasuke to me!", Sakura said, determinedly, before she jumped off into the trees.
With a quick glance at Sakura's retreating back, Kakashi once again glared at Kisame, as he stood ready for attack. Hopefully, Sakura would be able to find Sasuke without trouble, although once she found him was the issue. If Kisame and Deidara were going to all the trouble of taking him, they wouldn't just give up without a fight.
Kakashi snatched a kunai out his weapons pouch, and held it ready for attack, as Kisame lifted his samehade off his shoulders. He pointed his sword at Kakashi, and chuckled a little. "Well, nice of you to send her off. Too bad she won't find them. Deidara's long gone by now", Kisame said.
Kakashi threw the kunai at Kisame, but Kisame blocked the attack with his sword. Kisame ran towards Kakashi, and thrust his sword towards him. Kakashi jumped up, dodging the sword by stepping on it, before jumping over Kisame, and landing behind him. Kakashi disappeared underground, before he thrust his hands above ground, grabbing on to Kisame's ankles. He heard Kisame grunt in confusion, as he yelled, "Earth Style: Headhunter Jutsu!"
He dragged Kisame into the ground, as Kakashi emerged from the ground. Kakashi stood his ground, as he looked down at Kisame, only his head and the tip of his sword sticking up, out of the ground.
"Seeing as you seem to be a little stuck there, mind telling me why you're after Sasuke?", Kakashi asked, as he raised his visible eyebrow.
Kisame growled, as he struggled from where he was. The tip of the sword disappeared, before it cut through the ground, the bandages missing from the sharkskin blade. Kakashi jumped up, into the air, as the blade came within inches of cutting him. He landed on a tree branch, and watched as Kisame slammed his sword into the ground again, so he was able to free himself.
Kisame glared up at Kakashi, as he rested his sword against his shoulder. "That was a cheap trick", he said. Kisame then chuckled, as he jumped up and aimed his sharkskin sword at Kakashi, who quickly dodged the attack. Samehade smashed heavily into the tree, destroying the branch Kakashi had been on. Kakashi land on another tree branch, before taking a kunai out and jumped back towards Kisame.
Swinging his sword at Kakashi, Kisame bashed Kakashi in the side with his samehade. But mere seconds before the sword could hit him, Kakashi performed Replacement Jutsu, confusing Kisame as his sword cut through a simple log.
Before Kisame could even turn his head, Kakashi appeared behind him and pressed a kunai to Kisame's throat. Kisame growled, as he swung his sword behind him. Kakashi jumped up, but not before the sharkskin blade grazed his back. Kakashi landed on his feet, on the ground, as he winced. The sword had just barely grazed him, but it was still so sharp. He shrugged his shoulders, wincing at the slight pain, but ignored it as his enemy faced him.
"Oh, are you hurt?", Kisame taunted him.
Kakashi glared at Kisame, concentrating on saving Sasuke, instead of the pain. He done the hand signs for Lightning Blade, before he held his arm out, and focused his chakra on his hand. An electrical looking force enveloped his hand, as he continued to glare at Kisame. Kisame's eyes grew wide, before he ran at Kakashi.
He swung his samehade at Kakashi. Kakashi jumped away, but the sword sucked up the chakra that he had been using to create the attack. He landed a few feet away, before jumping up into a tree while throwing a few kunai and shuriken at his enemy.
Kisame blocked a few of the weapons with his sword, before he jumped up into the tree's running at Kakashi. Kakashi growled, as he took out a kunai, before running higher into the tree's, trying to gain some advantage upon the other. Damn shark was a hassle. Maybe he could take the other down, if he separated him from his sword.
"Running away, Kakashi!", Kisame chuckled, from behind him. Kakashi ran through the tree's, looking for any advantage. Before he could find one though, he heard Kisame say, "Water Release: Exploding Water Shockwave"
Water rushed behind Kakashi, as he only got a glance behind him, before he was forced to jump higher into the tree's. The forest practically drowned beneath the water that Kisame had created. Kakashi jumped to the top of a tree, using his chakra to keep him upright, as he lifted his hitai-ate. He was going to need his Sharingan for this fight.
Kisame emerged from the water, riding a wave, that lifted him up into the air, until he was level with Kakashi. "So, I get to go up against your Sharingan, huh? I guess I should take it as a compliment, that you need it just to defeat me", Kisame said.
Kakashi glared at him, with a bored eye, before rolling it. "How big your head is, Kisame. I'm surprised you haven't sunken in that water of yours", Kakashi retorted.
Kisame glared back at him, as the water rose up in huge waves on both sides of Kakashi, and then crashed down, ready to drown Kakashi. Before the water could hit him, Kakashi jumped off the tree, and landed on another tree, before jumping down onto the water, using his chakra to help him stand on it. Kisame chased after him, his sword ready to strike.
Kakashi dodged the sword when it swung his way, before threw a few kunai at Kisame, while he done a few hand signs, before muttering, "Water Release: Water Dragon Missile"
A large dragon formed out of the water, and flew towards Kisame, who's eyes went wide, before the water dragon smashed into him, before he could move. Kakashi allowed himself a little smirk, as Kisame disappeared beneath the water. Kakashi began preparing another attack, before he was suddenly slammed from behind with a wave of water.
Kakashi sunk beneath the water for a few seconds, in shock from the unexpected attack, before he held his breath quickly, and he swam up to the surface. He saw Kisame regaining his ground upon the water. Kakashi climbed out of the water, and stood on it, as he sucked in as much water as he could, enjoying the ability to breathe.
"Wow, Kakashi, you look like a drowned cat", Kisame taunted him.
"Hmm. Kisame, you look like a dead shark", Kakashi said, angrily.
Kisame chuckled, as he lifted his sword, to rest against his shoulder. "I never knew you were so funny… Even funnier than Itachi's little bro, I think", Kisame told him.
"Hmm… Itachi and you were partners, weren't you? You and your friend didn't take him because he helped kill Itachi, by any chance, did you?", Kakashi asked, as he narrowed his eye.
"Please. Itachi and I may have been partners, but that didn't mean we were friends", Kisame said, chuckling a little at the accusation, "Don't worry yourself, Kakashi. What we need with Sasuke, is completely for business purposes" Kisame looked thoughtful for a second, before he smirked wickedly at the other. "Although, Deidara did grow pretty close to Itachi, towards the end. And he's out there, somewhere, all alone with poor, blind Sasuke. Who knows what could happen", Kisame said.
Kakashi growled mentally, as he balled up one of his fists, before he took out a kunai, and jumped at Kisame. Kisame swung his samehade at Kakashi, causing the other to jump up, out of the way, before he threw his kunai at Kisame's unprotected side. With a pained grunt, the kunai dug into Kisame's side. He ripped the kunai out and threw it back at Kakashi.
Dodging the kunai, Kakashi jumped up high into a tree, preparing his Lightning Blade again. He needed to end this useless fight. Kakashi focused all of his chakra on his hand, an electrical looking force wrapping around his hand, making chirping like noises.
Looking down at Kisame, as he jumped up, towards him, trying to cut the attack off with his sword again. But Kakashi used his speed to run with lightning speed at the shark like man. Kakashi cut through Kisame easily, his hand cutting threw Kisame's stomach, while the two of them slammed into the water, and fell beneath it's surface.
Kakashi held his breath, as he sunk down into the water with Kisame, his opponent unconscious, probably near death… Who knew? Kakashi ripped his hand out of Kisame's stomach, letting the others body sink down, along with his enormous sword. Kakashi watched Kisame's body for a second, before he swam back up to the surface.
Emerging out of the water, Kakashi got on his hands and knee's on the water, breathing heavily, before he pushed himself up onto his feet. He quickly summoned Pakkun, who poofed in front of him. "What's up?", Pakkun asked him.
"Find Sasuke and Sakura. Fast", Kakashi said, hurriedly.
Pakkun jumped to, and up into the tree's, as Kakashi followed him. He hoped Sasuke was okay, and that he and Sakura hadn't been harmed. Kakashi sent a prayer up to the Kami's, as he ran.
Hope you liked it. Not the biggest fan of long fighting scenes. Frankly, they annoy me sometimes and I like to fast forward through my reading or watching. That probably leads to me sucking at writing fighting scenes. Oh well, I persevered, and here we are! Aishiteru!
