Chapter 12: Mysterious illness and Damsel in distress!?
I felt the sun's rays bathe me and my body ached as soon as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and attempted to get out of bed. "Mhmm Kiba get up we have to train today" I spoke while a yawn intervened with my sentence as I lightly shook him. "Mhmm Kimiko it's too early" and I smiled "Is someone tired from last night?" I cooed teasingly.
As we both assembled ourselves for training I suddenly felt sick and clutched my stomach and sank to the floor which made Kiba worried "Kimiko are you alright?" And I nodded, my legs felt like jelly and I could barely stand on my own "I…feel like I'm going to-" I sped off to the bathroom with a worried Kiba in pursuit. I vomited into the toilet and I wiped my mouth. "Is this morning sickness?" Kiba asked "No…I would be able to tell, this isn't morning sickness…its way worse than that" I spoke "I think you should stay home today" but I began to protest "No way I have to get stronger and train my butt off to be the best in this village!" I exclaimed with a newfound determination
As Kiba and I went to the training fields we saw our team and team seven "What are they doing here?" Kiba asked and suddenly Kakashi and Kurenai appeared "Today it is going to be team versus team" Kakashi explained and Kurenai added on "It will show you how to face a team of rogue ninjas or a deadly group" I smiled and so did Kiba "We're both up for it, considering that this is an opportunity to become stronger and finally surpass Naruto and Sasuke!" I exclaimed happily which made them both smile "Now everyone get into position" Kurenai commanded.
Our team was trying to locate Sakura and weaken her a bit to make the others a lot less of a task with her out of the way. "Hinata I know you're capable of taking down Haruno so I'll leave that to you, Shino you help her just incase she needs it" I commanded and he nodded as they both took off. "Listen Kiba you are around Naruto's strength and with your attacks you should be able to weaken him down quite a few notches…I'll handle Sasuke he and I are around the same area of strength." I added and he gave me a quick peck on the lips "You got this" He commented and I smiled before disappearing.
I stayed still in my hiding spot waiting to sense any form of chakra and movement, as I readied my arrows "Sasuke you're so COOL!" "Shh Sakura you're gonna give our position away…what if Kimiko's around?" Naruto's voice boomed and Sakura scoffed "She can't even take a punch" I felt my anger boiling but I stayed still.
"Sakura…..she's stronger than you think, underestimate her and you'll definitely regret it" Sasuke chirped in. "I can't believe you always stick up for her, she's so brash and impulsive just like Naruto" "HEY!" Naruto yelled obviously offended by the remark and I rolled my eyes 'This is so dumb I could just be impulsive and go out there' I pondered.
Sasuke's attention suddenly shifted when he heard a couple of rustles in the bush and on instinct he threw a Kunai "Whoever's there show yourself" He commanded "Tch…tch…tch intimidation doesn't work on me Sasuke" I whispered as I shot an arrow that grazed His, Naruto's and Sakura's cheek at the same time. Their eyes widened in shock of how precise my accuracy was. "But you're hiding so that makes you a coward!" Sakura shot back I chuckled darkly "Who's hiding? Shadow style; Shadow storm Jutsu!" I yelled as I did the hand signs and the scenery became black "Watch out this technique is very dangerous, were playing on her territory now" Sasuke added and I smiled "Why take out the strongest one when you can easily KILL the weakest" I mumbled before I shot a barrage of arrows at Sakura who merely dodged them with a few seconds to spare "Remember that mission with that Haku kid who was with Zabuza?" Naruto spoke as he threw a couple shurikens unaware that Kiba was behind him and I smirked which Sasuke took notice "Naruto behind you!" Sasuke screamed as he pushed Naruto and took the blow from Kiba's fang over fang attack "Byakugan!" Hinata shouted while her Byakugan activated and she began to block Sakura's chakra points and as they fought hand to hand Naruto and I went head on "Shadow clone jutsu!" "Shadow dragon jutsu!" we both shouted as our attacks clashed. Sasuke and Kiba were at each others throats, Sasuke's sharingan and Kiba's Man beast mimicry attack "Face it Kimiko your team is done for!" Naruto shouted and I smiled while pulling out my Katanna "I would've never thought that I had to pull this out ever since that day" I spoke and I began wielding it "This is the end for you!" I screamed and as I wielded it Naruto almost risked getting stabbed in the shoulder blade and legs "You won't stop me!" he cried out. "Fireball jutsu!" I yelled and flipped into the air and began spitting out the flames covering three-fifths of the ground" "It's over for you now you don't stand a-""Kimiko watch out!" Kiba shouted but it was too late, I felt something cold run through my stomach 'what the-""Chidori!" Sasuke's voice ripped through my eardrums and I felt his hand enter my stomach and everyone's eyes widened in shock. I began coughing up blood as he withdrew his bloodied hand, he looked horrified and he couldn't form a sentence I coughed before I staggered up and the team looked extremely horrified "Kurenai Sensei! Kakashi Sensei!" Naruto yelled frantically as I clutched my katanna and stabbed it through Sasuke's shoulder blade as the blood droplets ran down making rivulets of blood and the drops stained the floor. I collapsed onto the floor "Sasuke! Don't let that damsel In distress hurt you like that!" Sakura fussed.
I woke up my room "She's awake guys" Naruto exclaimed and I looked at him "There was an accident wasn't there?" I asked and everyone except Sakura nodded "Hey as long as Im still alive then that's all that matters" I stated as I tried to get up but Kiba and Sasuke pushed me down "You need to rest" Sasuke spoke in a serious tone. "Kimiko it's a miracle you're even alive" Kiba spoke and I giggled. "Not really I've sustained worse injuries than this "Kimiko….you have a hole in your chest" Kakashi and Kurenai spoke simultaneously "No believe me…this is nothing" I insisted "And before you guys go worrying about me and blabbing what happened I just want you to know that…" I looked down for a second "I'm not some damn damsel in distress so don't worry about me too much" I added.
