"Dear Musouka, I believe it would be to our advantage to show this lady the power I've given you." Kaizo Karyuudomi said allowing his face to show a wide grin, as the eerie child moved in to face a defending Anko.
"Yes…" The girl said in a low, emotionless voice as her eyes glowed red like a monster.
Anko drew a kunai from her side and threw it with due accuracy toward the child who made no effort to avoid the attack. Musouka pulled the sharp blade from her shoulder unflinchingly, throwing it aside while showing no pain from the blood pouring fourth from her wound as she continued to move slowly toward Anko.
"What the hell is that girl?" Kiba said in utter shock.
"Kaizo Karyuudomi is the name of a highly skilled medical ninja Kirigakure. He went missing after he was convicted of performing illegal experiments on living beings. Given his history it is most likely this girl is some sort of test subject." Kurenai said coolly, showing little shock or surprise.
"I see that Konoha does not lack it's own information network. I'm flattered that one such as your self would have heard of me, Miss Yuhi." Kaizo said with a smirk.
"So that child… has likely been made this way. How terrible." Iruka added with a sad expression.
"All the more reason for us to make sure this guy gets it good." Kotetsu said with a hateful stare.
"So you all want to fight me now. Too bad, I seldom like to get my hand dirty if it's avoidable. Reimei shall prove a sufficient opponent for the lot of you chunin, whereas my precious Musouka shall serve to keep these ladies busy." Kaizo said with a spiteful laugh as his pawns motioned toward their designated opponents.
"Ha, you think some girl can take on the five of us?" Kiba said making sure to include his canine companion in the ranks of the group.
"I'll be more than a match for you guy's. Cuz I'm special. Master Kaizo made me that way." The girl said in an up-beat voice that seemed a lot more human than the other.
"Well let's see how special you are when you're bound to my shadow." Shikamaru made the first move as he stretched his shadow against the moonlight to the girl's feet, in order to test just what the girl was capable of.
"That's it Shikamaru! Now we can get her just like that." Kiba said with an energetic smile as he proceeded to prepare an attack.
"Hold on. Wait 'till I'm out of the way, make your strike right after I let go, otherwise it'll get me too." Shikamaru said in a particularly irritated tone
"Is that so? Well… then maybe this'll work…" The girl called Reimei said with a soft laugh, as she gave out a soft cry, in a moment she was glowing purple. A few seconds passed before a large explosion ripped through the air around her. Shikamru maaged to retract his shadow in time to prevent the full force of the blast, but still got caught in part of the explosion.
"What kind of attack is that?" Iruka cried in shock as he pulled Shikamaru to safety.
"It's my specialty. Thanks to master, I can make my chakra explode. I just project it from my body and it goes boom! It's really fun, and the best part is my body doesn't get hurt by it anymore, cuz master made me able to reabsorb the chakra when it touches me." Reimei said in her unusual tone, the explosion had shredded much of her clothes, but as she had observed, her body was unscathed.
"That seems like a pretty interesting skill there. This may be more troubling than I first imagined." Kotetsu gave a smirk as he took up arms for battle.
"Yes we'll have to be careful, now that we know what she can do.' Iruka replied simply as the chunin launched into a furious, explosive battle.
Meanwhile Musouka's movements toward Anko had grown sporadic and wild, and a still confused Anko found every attack of hers to seeming to cause no pain to the child.
"How is it she doesn't feel anything? What exactly did you do to her?" Anko called out trying to hold off her fear.
"Oh she feels it alright; she's just lost any need to express that pain. She's immune to such trivialities as that. Her only desire is to serve my goals to her fullest." Kaizo Karyuudomi said with a fierce evil in his eye.
"But she'll die if she continues." Anko yelled hatefully.
"She doesn't care. This child has lost the ability to understand what death is. Besides with the resistances her body has developed, death is something harder for her to achieve then you might think." He smiled maliciously as he talked.
"You sick freak. How could you…" Anko continued her cries.
"Oh dear Anko, you really shouldn't worry so much about the 'what,' 'why,' and 'how' your opponent is who she is, and focus more on claiming your victory." Kaizo laughed bitterly as he forced Anko's attention back to the bleeding girl, who was only a short distance from herself.
Anko jumped back instinctually in shock, but Musouka made her leap at rapid speed, to which none of her previous movements could even be compared. Soon the red-eyed girl was latched tightly onto Anko's back. Despite Anko's struggles to free herself, the girl managed to skillfully perform some jutsu, as she began to charge a dark red flame-like aura into Anko's neck. Alarmed at the situation, Kurenai rushed to her friends aid, forcefully throwing the child from Anko's back.
"What did you do to her?" Kurenai yelled her question, which was directed at an amused Kaizo, as Anko began to writhe in pain on the floor.
"It's simple really. The power of Musouka's chakra has the ability to directly effect one's emotion. Emotion's generally repressed or simply unexpressed in that person's typical persona can be brought to the surface. I developed this technique in hopes of creating a simple easily applied form of mind control, but seeing as how possessing this chakra drains one of their own emotions, the practical implications are limited. Still it makes for a fun ability in a servant, and a handy way to agitate a terminally inactive curse seal whose user lacks the will to even use." Kaizo spoke with a relative vigor.
"You didn't! Is such a thing even really possible, you can't just manifest emotions in someone where they don't exist in the first place." Kurenai cried out a disgusted look about her.
"Anger, hatred, the lust for power, the urge to destroy, there is no human immune to these triggers, augmenting them to an appropriate level is fairly plausible in any case. What I want to see, is how someone who's lived for years without ever using her curse seal, feels when it is suddenly thrust open." Kaizo retorted as he listened intently at Anko's paninful screams.
"It is clear that you are beyond any forgiveness. I shall destroy you here and now." Kurenai said with a certain force as her eyes shown with a brilliant fire.
"One such as you who's skill is in illusions has little chance of defeating someone devoid of emotions like my Musouka, or someone as completely grounded as myself." Kaizo smiled back.
"We'll see about that." Kurenai said smartly as she drew several kunai.
The jounin rushed forth at lightning speed toward the child Musouka, In a charge she forced the girl down against a tree, using all her strength only to barely overpower the child. Though struggling, Kurenai, secured the child to the tree my gruesomely pinning several kunai through the girl's arms and hands.
"Wow, what a surprise to think, that someone like you would be so heartless as to do such a thing, to an innocent child." Kaizo laughed crazily.
"This thing is a weapon not a child now. As someone adept at making illusions like you said, I'm not so likely to see things as they appear. With that, I turn my attention to you." Kurenai said with a hateful glare, that didn't fully mask her regret.
"Ahh, very well, if you insist, I will fight you." Kaizo said with a dramatic sigh.
Kaizo Karyuudomi drew a small, jagged edged knife with a dull, unnatural shine to it. With a sharp laugh, he made several short lunges at Kurenai, which the jounin dodged skillfully. As she did so the evil man drew forth several senbon, which he began to toss out at periodic intervals, which also were shrugged off with ease. Kurenai managed to get an attack in, connecting a blow with one of her kunai to the crazed man's shoulder
"Senbon and a poison tipped dagger, are those the only battle tricks you've got? I'm beginning to think there's another reason you typically have others fight your fights for you." Kurenai said with an enjoyable smirk.
"Well, Miss Yuhi, my true passion is my research. I never use myself as a test subject, so my body is relatively normal in comparison to my assistants there. The only thing that makes me a little different from someone like you is the little present Orochimaru gave me and that was merely to show my loyalty." Kaizo replied creepily as he pulled more needles from his things.
"You don't mean… that you have a curse seal as well." Kurenai said allowing her eyes to avert once more to her friend clenched by pain.
"Why yes, though mine is not quite to the level of some of his servants. I suppose if you're so interested, I shall allow you to see my power." Kaizo said with a smile, before making a painful gesture, followed by a sharp cry. In a moment strange marks covered the near entirety of the evil man's frame.
Kaizo Karyuudomi flew forward once more, this time his strikes proved possible to avoid, despite Kurenai's skill. She could feel her body begin to shut down as some toxin entered her from the knife and the volley of needles that followed. Any further resistance would be lost in futility.
"So Kurenai Yuhi, any last words before you become the first of my unfortunate victims." He said bitterly, his prior intellectuality lost in his new enraged tone.
Kurenai made no response, she simply closed her eyes, being forced to recognize her fate. When no finishing blow came she opened her eyes once more. A demon snake extended from out of nowhere, clenching hard at it's prey. Kaizo, made a struggling attempt to free him from the creatures jaws, but it's master beat his escape. Anko Mitarashi, a violent aura burning around her, her form distorted by the mark of her seal, made a vicious strike at the evil unleashing a gash of blood across his entirety.
"Ack, Impossible. This goes against all my calculations. Someone who's lived for years with an inactive Curse Seal of Heaven… to have it suddenly and violently thrust open. The pain your feeling should be too great for you to move, let alone fight. It seems other feelings of yours are stronger than your sense of pain. I suppose I miscalculated the situation. A mistake I won't make again. For now we retreat. I will return, to annihilate you in time, but for the moment… Reimei! Musouka! We leave at once!" Kaizo clenched his wound, blood coating his hand as he called out frantically in pain.
"Yesss…" Musouka said demonically as she went immediately to her master's side.
"Aww, but I'm still having fun." Reimei pouted softly, as she warded off one of her many opponents' attacks. None of the Chunin, it seemed had been able to escape their fight unharmed, Iruka and Akamaru had been wounded the worst.
"We will be seeing each other very soon, Miss Mitarashi. When that time comes you and your companions will die." Kaizo said bitterly before disappearing with the two young girls.
"Anko…" Kurenai called out to her friend as she managed to move to her side. She studied the woman for a moment. The violent fury that adorned those usually gentle eyes struck a note in the other woman's heart. She'd be dead now if it wasn't for that strength. Kurenai had little time to ponder it further before the other woman collapsed lifelessly in her arms, the curse seal receding as she did so. Kurenai stood a moment more gazing at the visage of her savior, before she too was reminded of the venom coursing through her own body. She fainted instantly, Anko's body cushioning the fall of her own.
A/N: So you can see what this fics about better now. All in all this was a pretty busy chapter. I have three OC characters there to keep everyone busy, and mostly just for fun. I thought it'd be fun to play with Anko's curse seal a bit, since it's unexplored territory, don't want to go to far into that though. This was pretty much all action and fighting and stuff, hopefully it was exciting enough. Those of you more interested in the romantic and sexual Anko X Kurenai stuff might prefer the next chapter. Well, till then. See ya.
