Chapter 24

The Twins

"Death, and Loss?", MinMin repeated.

"Yeah, they aren't just feelings, they're human.", Jord exclaimed.

"What are you talking about?!", MinMin asked as she layed in his bed next to him, he sat up, and sat behind him, and began to massage his shoulders again.

"Death and Loss…they're not human, but exist in this world as people, they can't be killed. But…they can…It's hard to explain.", Jord sighed.

Jord stood up and said, "Well, I'm going to go back to Ichiraku, or a dumplings shop.", Jord began to walk out. MinMin grabbed him, she seemed to like to that a lot. She felt a shiver go through her body, and she fainted in the doorway, and Jord ignored her and walked away.

It was getting lighter out. The sun seemed to barely sparkle above the tree, and it glazed the plains and made the shadows sparkle. Jord rarely saw it, he was either somewhere off thinking or sleeping. And to be at the gates and see it made him smile the widest he's ever smiled before.

Jord looked at his ANBU armor, and glared at it. He walked to his house.

He changed his look. He wore dark robes that were open in the front but his arms were still in the sleeves. He had a red shirt the wore lower than his waist, and had the Uchiha symbol was on the back of the robes. His pants were black with a kunai/scroll pouch connected to the pants.

"JORD!!!", he heard Sakura scream running towards him, her face had tears rolling down them.

"What?", Jord asked nicely.

"It's Sasuke, and Naruto…they ran off.", Sakura stopped and trained to gain back her breath.

"What?!", Jord began to sprint towards the gates, he found Naruto just beginning to jump through the trees.

Jord slapped his forehead, and followed.

Naruto had beat him to Sasuke, and saw Naruto holding up Sasuke, punching him.

"No…not Sasuke too…", Jord looked at the ground, "I'm going to stop this madness!!!" He left and landed on a hillside by the Valley Of The End. Jord couldn't believe they were fighting here.

"Where do you think you're going?", a dark voice said behind him, he turned around it was the same guy with the chain-sickle. He wore thin dark robes with no opening, and the hood up so no one could see his face. He had some sort of chain looking thing across his breast.

He looked thin, and he had perfect posture. His chain-sickle was wound around his back.

"I'm going to go stop this!", Jord was halted by a chain wrapped around him.

"Who the hell do you think you are?!", Jord yelled at the man.

"I believe I'm…Loss.", Jord's eyes widened. Loss spun his chain sickle and tossed it at Jord.

Jord did a flip over the chain, and used the chain to pull Loss in, and he punched him in the face. And let go of the chain, and Loss flew onto the ground.

"Your heart will hurt more if you know you helped his get away.", Loss explained.

"I don't care! I'm not going to lose my last true family member, "Katon: Gokakyuu No Jutsu!!" Jord fired a fireball causing it to strike the statue they were standing on, and half of the statue collapsed, Naruto and Sasuke fell to the water. Jord jumped into the water and popped up in the middle of Sasuke, and put his arms up.

"Stop!", Jord commanded.

"Hello…", Sasuke said darkly.

"Sasuke, where are you going?", Jord asked.

"To my Road Of Power!!!", Sasuke shrieked, "And you're not going to stop me from my destiny!"

"Destiny, is that what you were told?", Jord smirked, "Yeah, I'll stop you."

"DAMN YOU BROTHER!!!", Sasuke ran and punched Jord into the water, which thrust him underwater.

"Water Style: Waterfall Canon Jutsu!!!"

The waterfall went slower and slower, and where the waterfall once flowed peacefully was now clogging the above river flowing.

"Water Style: Waterfall Shield Jutsu!!"

Some of the water fell from the above river and surrounded Jord, "KAI!! Release!!!"

The waterfall exploded, and Sasuke held Chidori in his hand and Naruto had Rasengan rushing towards each other, but the jutsu Jord completly exploded and it released a large ammount of water, and it hit Naruto out of the way and struck Sasuke back and Sasuke was underwater.

Jord looked up and saw Loss watching the fight. He beckoned Jord to come, and when Jord disobeyed, he used his chakra, created a palm and pulled Jord in.

"What're you doing Loss?", Jord asked politely this time.

"This is their business, not yours!", Loss yelled.

"He's my brother, and he's going to ruin his life!", Jord explained.

"Listen, you are just being ejective of the concept of losing the rest of your family, if you let him go, you'll be fine!", Loss explained.

"Will I?", Jord questioned.

"Trust me, I know a lot about loss…", Loss said trying to be funny.

"Let's head back then.", Jord said as Loss and Jord zipped away to Konohagakure.

"What're you doing here anyways?", Jord asked Loss.

"Waiting for Death.", Loss said.

"What is your business here?", Jord asked.

"None of your business!", Loss said, pushing Jord through the gates and closing them.

There were still Jonin on watching duty and they were now locked out of the village. The found Loss, next to someone who looked exactly.

"Who are y-", The Jonin was cut off and his neck was stretched, he was tossed about and his head rolled off, the other Jonin ran to fight Loss but he did hand signs, and the were set on fire, with out him doing anything but exerting chakra.

Death and Loss continued talking.

Jord was found by MinMin who looked furious.

"Why'd you knock me out?!", MinMin yelled.

"Because…I had something to do, and you were in the way…", Jord explained, not even making eye contact.

"Well you know what, I'm done! I'm through with your attitude!", MinMin kicked Jord across the face and into the locked gates.

"So you want to kill me?", Jord smiled.

"No! To show you what respect is!", MinMin yelled, and ran up and kicked him again. He was bleeding at this point, he wiped his mouth to get rid of the blood, and didn't even stand up or put up a guard.

She continued kicking and punching him around the village.

"How is this showing me what respect truly is?", Jord finally asked.

"I don't know, but hell, it sure feels good", and she went back to kicking him. He wasn't anywhere near fainting, he was just annoyed, he knew what she wanted.

"I'm so sorry, about my attitude, and everything.", Jord said beginning to sob. His face was covered in dirt, blood, and bruises, his gut hurt, and he didn't know what was going on.

MinMin stared at him, she looked sad at what she did, but didn't care, she just stood there looking at him darkly.

Jord stood up, wiped his tears and apologized once more, and began to walk away. He walked to a body of water and cleaned his face as well as he could. There were still cuts, but no dirt or blood.

MinMin was watching him from a tree. He sat down by the water, took off his shoes and put his feet in the water.

She dropped from the tree, and barely made a sound.

"Jord, are you okay?", MinMin asked softly.

"Yeah, thanks for asking.", Half of him wanted to turn around and punch her, the other half was thinking not to, and that half stopped him from doing so.

"I'm sorry.", MinMin apologizing for something Jord probably deserved. Jord replied, "No, don't be, I deserved it, it gave me a reality check I suppose you could say ." Jord stared at the water, she looked at him, he looked at her, her eyes were warm and gentle, he had never seen her like this before. She wasn't violent anymore, just peaceful.

Her eyes started to nod, and she fainted and fell in the water, he grabbed her and set her on land. He looked up and saw Loss.

"Loss, what are you doing?!", Jord yelled.

"Loss, ha! That traitor isn't here, I am Death!", Jord lunged at Death, and saw there were comrades in the tree, he smirked. Chronos, HIM, Kira, and Twilight jumped out of the tree and kicked or punched Death and he flew back.

The five ninja stood in a line in battle ready position.

Death lunged towards them stopped, and watched the ninja flinch, he laughed, pulled out his chain sickle with redwood on top of the blade instead of green and blue, and he spun it around.

This time he lunged at Jord. He flung the sickle at him, and Jord dodged.

"Chronos, NOW!!" , Jord yelled, and Chronos jumped from a tree while his other clone exploded and sent Death flying towards Chronos was just about to land on the ground and he hit death into the ground, and Death exploded, and five other Deaths popped out of the forest and water, and rushed towards each of them.

Loss came into the center of them, and sent out a blue chakra blast and it poofed the clones of Death away.

"Brother, don't do this!", Loss warned.

"What you think you fools can stop me?!", Death's voice echoed through the forest, and the ninja were looking for the subject in which was making the noise. Except for Loss, he stared straight on, he knew what was coming next.

Fire rained from the heavens and the ninja couldn't dodge it, so they went under water, except Jord and Loss, "Water Style: Water Shield Jutsu!"

Now the rain of fire didn't pierce them, and the jumped out of the water at Death, who now made himself visible and kicked him so fast, his body didn't receive the pain at first, and then he flew back and hit a tree, he was in shock.

"Oh and did I forget to tell you?", Death asked.

Chronos, HIM, and Kira climbed out of the water and looked at Death.

"Tell me what?", Jord asked.

"That when she fainted it was when I used my new style, Death Style: Death Disease Jutsu!"

"What?", Jord asked, and he sank to his knees.

"If you don't defeat me, she'll die within 24 hours, so either you take me down here, without killing me, or the lady dies.", Death began to chuckle.

Death did some sort of hand signs ran so fast no one caught it and the strong wind blew again, and he tapped Kira, and ran back to where he once was, and he had supernatural abilities, Jord looked back at Kira, who began coughing up blood, and fainted in the same manner as MinMin, Chronos picked her up and set her next to MinMin, he had an angry look upon his face.

Chronos stood up slowly, and went back with the rest of his comrades, with no word.

"You see why we're twins? Death has a lot to do with Loss, but I'm too powerful to be defeated so say goodbye to your damned comrades!!!", Death taunted.

Jord rushed in without thinking and punched Death, nothing happened, Death grabbed Jord's fist spun him around and tossed him into a tree, and the tree fell.

Jord got up.

Chronos rushed in, and was tossed by his leg into a tree opposite of Jord's position and stood up.

HIM ran in and was tossed into a tree a few yards to the left of Chronos.

Loss ran in and was punched into a tree that was directly across of HIM.

Everyone smiled, and Death was in the center of it.

"Light Style: Loss Of Darkness Jutsu!!", Everyone screamed.

Death began to spin and light surrounded him, no one saw Death anymore, and then he popped out and punched Jord through three more trees, and the Jutsu ended.

"That's it!", Chronos and Jord yelled in unison.

"Divine Seraph!!", Chronos yelled, pointing his hand down and a bright light that nobody could look at what had formed in his palm.

"DARK ELEMENTAL!!", Jord said putting has hand up and holding his wrist as Brown, white, blue, red, and black energy flowed into his hand, and Chronos and Jord rushed at Death so fast, even he didn't know it.

As Chronos rushed to Death, his Seraph left a lightning streak, and it still burned your eyes to look at it.

Jord's left a streak of darkness that if you touched it ,it would burn you.

The hit Death at both sides, and light and dark energy went around Death like a spinning ball and he poofed away, there was nothing left of him but the sickle, that eventually disappeared too. Kira, and MinMin woke up simultaneously, and gasped for air, and they're color of they're face returned.
