Umi narrowed her eyes and moved forward in a blink of an eye. She reached her hand out to slam it into Kenzu's chest. Kenzu gasped before quickly grabbing Umi's wrist and threw her against the far wall by Ryomatsu. Ryomatsu quickly picked her up and slammed her into the wall.
"Want another round before you die?" He smirked.
Umi gasped and turned her face away. Like so many of those nights, Umi's body went riggid and her face flushed with embarrassment. Tears slipped through her eyelids.
Ryomatsu chuckled and leaned closer when he was suddenly body checked to the floor. He gasped and looked up to see Haruko. Haruko glared at Ryomatsu as he wailed on his face. Ryomatsu groaned and threw Haruko off of him, looking up and noticing that he had a purple aura around him. Ryomatsu smirked and moved to his feet, whipping kunai at Haruko. The kunai seemed to go right into his body and disappeared. Haruko lifted his hand and a kunai slipped from his palm and he quickly threw it at Ryomatsu. The older male quickly dodged and threw another kunai. Haruko's glow flickered and the kunai stabbed Haruko's chest as he gasped and fell to his knees.
Umi's eyes widened and she scrambled over to Haruko, pulling the kunai from his chest. "H-Haruko..." She gasped.
Itomi let go of Jatsu and quickly crossed to Haruko, putting his palm to the wound and healing it. "Don't overdo it..." He muttered.
Haruko winced and nodded as the wound sealed closed. Ryomatsu had gotten to his feet and moved over to Haito and Kenzu. The leaders stared at the group, the males with smirks. Jatsu looked from the three over at Kenzu and narrowed her eyes.
"Gonna make a move, bastard?" She hissed.
Kenzu smirked. "I already did..."
Jatsu gasped as she felt something latch onto her ankle. She looked down to see a skeleton emerging from the ground. Another one latched onto her other ankle and she hissed. Nikito quickly ran over to Jatsu and tried to break the skeletons away with his sword, however the force sent him back into the wall.
"Shall we do this quickly?" Kenzu asked plainly to the other two leaders.
Itomi crossed the room back to Jatsu and touched the bones of each skeleton with a glowing golden hand. The bones began to deteriate and he turned to meet Kenzu's glare. "Perfect." Itomi smirked.
Jatsu smiled at Itomi before facing Kenzu again. "As I said... make... a... move..."
"Last I checked, I did a few years ago." He smirked.
Jatsu's anger rose again, her hands began to tremble as she tried to keep a tight grip on her kunai.
Haito reached out her hand to slap Kenzu's arm, moving past him. "Forget about her." Haito stated angrily.
Kenzu shook his head. "I've decided we want to keep her alive for a bit before we kill her." He smirked. "Ryomatsu can have a go too."
Ryomatsu smirked and nodded.
Haito's glowing fist stopped glowing and she snapped her head around to glare at Kenzu. "No."
"Do not disagree with me, Haito!" Kenzu shouted.
Haito glared and turned back to glare at Jatsu. She let out a frustrated breath, and went to turn away, when instead she began to charge the woman. Jatsu smirked and prepared for Haito's blow. Haito advanced quickly, and moved to Jatsu's side while her fist began to glow again. "I refuse!"
Jatsu quickly caught Haito's wrist and struggled to hold it back as she quickly ducked and kicked Haito's legs out from under her before stabbing a kunai into her back. She quickly jumped back and smirked.
Haito climbed to her knee's and reached behind her to pull the kunai out. She stood back up and charged at Jatsu again, slashing out. Jatsu swiftly pulled out a new kunai, dipped in poison and charged at Haito in return, ducking her flailing arms and aiming to slash Haito's side. Haito narrowed her eyes and jumped backwards towards the entrance of the room. She smirked and began to chuckle. She finally stopped and straightened up. "You will-" A gasp left her lips as hands touched her back, and her chest just suddenly collasped. She fell limp to the floor, revealing Yumiki.
Yumiki smiled sheepishly and shrugged. "H-Hi."
Jatsu smiled at Yumiki. "Great timing!"
Yumiki shrugged and stepped aside as several pairs of people filled the room, making a semi-circle around the two leaders who were left. They all glared at the leaders, as the leaders gazed back. Kazue wondered how many of the girls now in the room were hurt by those two men.
Kenzu sighed. "Naughty girls... you should all be pushished..."
"We've been punished long enough, and you know exactly what I mean." One of the girls hissed.
Ryomatsu laughed. "Maybe I missed more than I thought..."
Kenzu shrugged and smiled before whispering," Leave Jatsu to me... she's mine."
Ryomatsu nodded before the two disappeared. Kazue narrowed her eyes and prepared her arrow. Itomi stepped closer to Jatsu and narrowed his eyes. Umi had moved to her feet and looked around. The room was still, as everyone searched the room carefully.
"Cowards." Umi whispered.
Haruko had gotten to his feet, his purple aura returning. Jatsu let out a breath as she tried to calm her racing mind. Nikito held his sword tightly as he tried to sense the mens precence. Umi gasped and turned her head towards Haruko. "Haruko!" She shouted and jumped towards him before she was thrown across the room by Ryomatsu.
Haruko gasped and turned around towards Ryomatsu who was now looking at Haruko. "Kind of her..."
Haruko gritted his teeth and growled. "You will not lay another finger on her..."
"Oh really?" Ryomatsu smirked.
Haruko nodded and charged towards the leader. Ryomatsu smirked and threw kunai at Haruko again, waiting for the purple aura to flicker out. Haruko's heart raced as he noticed where the kunai continued to hit - his heart. If his aura went out, he'd be done for. Umi scrambled back to her feet and charged towards Ryomatsu as Haruko charged him from the other direction. At the last second, Umi slid to the ground and kicked her foot up, hitting him right in the groin. Ryomatsu gasped and collapssed to his knees in pain. Haruko smirked and quickly went to slash at the male, catching only his cheek as he quickly leaned lower. Haruko stumbled passed Ryomatsu and almost tripping over Umi before stopping and turning back around to glance at the leader who was back on his feet with a slight smirk.
"Smart... but you missed, boy." Ryomatsu stated.
Haruko clenched his jaw when suddenly some blood spilt from his mouth and he gasped. Ryomatsu laughed. As Haruko had passed him, Ryomatsu quickly shoved a kunai in his chest when the aura flickered. Haruko looked to Umi before falling onto his knees and then forward to the ground. Ryomatsu laughed. "One down, five to go..."
Umi gasped and ran at Ryomatsu, pulling off her cloak and throwing it to the ground after pulling a kunai out. Ryomatsu smirked at Umi. "Your lover is dead... now what will you do? You cannot kill me. I'll take you down as easily as I took him down."
"I refuse to fall at your hands again!" Umi screamed. A few of the other pairs ran over to assist Umi. "You will die!"
Ryomatsu smirked. "Then why don't we keep this between you and I?" He snickered, forming some hand seals before a box formed around the two, locking the others out. "I prefer one-on-one." He snickered again, pulling out a kunai.
Umi's eyes widened as she backed away, but the box prevented her from moving any further. She gripped her kunai tighter and lifted it in front of her face. "You will not touch me."
"Without your lover to protect you, I doubt that highly... you will be mine again..."
Umi narrowed her eyes and ran towards Ryomatsu, disappearing and reappearing behind him, about to stab the kunai into his back. Ryomatsu quickly turned around and jumped up, bringing his foot across her face, the force knocking her back a bit. Umi gripped her face and gasped. Her force of his boot made her teeth dig into her cheek, making it bleed. She narrowed her eyes at Ryomatsu and smirked. She stuck her thumb into her mouth and collected some blood on it. She made a few hand seals and chuckled lightly. "You'll pay for that."
"Again, I doubt that." He smirked.
Umi disappeared from Ryomatsu's sight, and flashes of her form appeared and disappeared all around Ryomatsu's body. Slowly, Umi advanced in flash and grabbed his arm, spinning him around and throwing him towards the barrier of his own wall. Umi ran forward and went to slam her foot into his gut, but his hands caught her foot just an inch before it collided.
"It won't be that easy, Umi." He snickered and used her foot to whip her around and throw her against a different side of the barrier.
Umi quickly returned to her feet and made more hand seals that went along with the last ones. The first hand seals weren't what made the flashes, but she was waiting for the ninjutsu to charge. She paused in the middle of the hand seals and charged at Ryomatsu again. Two clones appeared on either side of him and all three charged him quickly. Ryomatsu laughed and stood still. Umi reached for both of his wrist, while the clones from both sides gripped kunai's, aiming for his neck. Ryomatsu narrowed his eyes and smirked. "Bye."
His body suddenly faded from her grasp and he was gone again with a laugh. She could feel his presence behind her, and she quickly spun around, lunging forward towards where she felt he was, colliding with his body and tackling him to the ground. Ryomatsu tumbled on the ground, trying to flip Umi onto her back. Umi pressed his arms tightly against the ground as she growled in his face. She lifted her knee and pushed it into his stomach, putting pressure. He winced and growled. Quickly, he moved with all his strength and flipped her to the bottom, his body hovering over her. "Does this bring back memories?" He smirked, holding her hard to the ground.
Umi glared up at him and spat up into his face. Ryomatsu closed his eyes before opening them again. "I can make new memories for you.."
Umi's eyes widened and she tried to push him off her as she screamed. "Get off me!"
Ryomatsu laughed. "Do you have any idea how many times I've heard that?"
Umi glared at Ryomatsu and tried to move her knee's up to knee him in the groin. He gasped in pain and rolled off of her scrambling to get to his feet. Umi slid closer to him, grabbing the back of his cloak and pulling him down, pushing him to his stomach and climbing back on top of him. "Die!" She screamed, and stabbed him in the back with the kunai she had in her hand.
He screamed out and threw her far away as the barrier broke. He gasped and stumbled over to her, kunai in hand. He climbed on top of her before she could get back up and went to plunge the kunai into her chest when someone tackled him to the ground. The male who tackled Ryomatsu screamed out in pain as he was stabbed, however Ryomatsu also let out a scream as he too was stabbed. Ryomatsu laid motionless on the ground with a kunai sticking out from the left side of his chest. The male who had tackled him was Haruko and he coughed up blood as he pulled the kunai from his own chest before falling over onto his side, his breathing shallow as blood spilt from his mouth.
Umi moved over to Ryomatsu and repeated to stab him in the chest and stomach, screaming out. She threw the kunai away. Her body began to glow a dark blue aura as the room began to fill with darkness. With an explosion like-way, darkness suddenly covered the room. Umi could see everyone, where they stood, but she knew no one could see her. The person she had initially intended this jutsu for was now dead, and it was now void. She hadn't expected him to die right away, but she knew that after this, she was useless. She looked over at Haruko who coughed up his own blood in the darkness. She frowned as turned back to Ryomatsu before standing up and stepping away from the body. Thicker, more dense darkness began to wrap itself around Ryomatsu's body, squeezing his flesh and crushing his bones. His eyes bursted from his head before being swallowed by the darkness. Unsatisfied with the dead body that Umi had provided, it reached out to wrap itself around Umi's body. Umi gasped before she fell unconscious.
