Ch. 6

Can't Get Enough

Just as Kimimaro was about to enter her, his entire body throbs his grip losing on her. She glances up at him seeing his eyes are dilated as his arms drop to his side.

Tayuya takes the opportunity and pushes him away from her. His body drops almost lifelessly to the ground hitting it hard. He turns his head seeing her run grab her necessary things and continue to run as fast as she could away. Kimimaro body fully paralyzed, his mind races with the thoughts, "Why, what happen to me, why can't I move, Kabuto sensei healed me… why did this happen" All he could think was why when his vision started to blurred fading to black as he watched Tayuya flee. He was left on the forest floor paralyzed and blind as a figure chuckled moving closer to his limp body. The figure shakes its head and chuckles again reaching for Kimimaro. Kimimaro struggles to move asking, "Who's there." The figure smiles shushing him "Relax while you can cause things are going to get worse then what just happen."

Meanwhile racing through the woods Tayuya runs as fast as she can. Her heart felt like it was about to explode, her legs burning but she continues to run driven only by fear. Tayuya finally stops her legs giving out on her she drops to a knee using the trunk of a tree for support. She sits down leaning back against it to catch her breath. Thoughts of the near rape flood her mind she drops her gear next to her and hugs her knees to her bare chest. Still out of breath, as it started to rain the very sky seemed to weep for her as the downpour begin. She feeling so weak so helpless pulling her legs closer to her chest she sat there underneath the tree as it rained.

It was just after Kidoumaru was sent flying Sakon jumps down from where he viewed Kidoumaru's failed plan and follows trail of broken trees and torn up patches of ground to a small crater where he lay. "Yo, you alive down there?" he asks sarcastically. One of his arm grabs the level part of the ground flipping out of the crater he was covered in a golden shell it cracking and falling off he replied "Yea thanks to my Nenkin no Yoroi (Armor of Sticky Gold) or else she could have really hurt me Kidoumaru replies with a smirk. Sakon shakes his head and shrugs it off replying, "Come on we better head back." They head back through the same demolished path, which Kidoumaru was sent crashing through. Since he was going at an incredible speed Kidoumaru was seeing the destruction for the first time. He was amazed at all the collateral damaged. He noticing every entrecote detail from the plowed path that his body made that went on for almost a mile to the trees he mowed down until he final stopped making crater he lay in when Sakon found him. A huge grin covers his face he was extremely impressed not knowing she had gotten so strong.

As they walk back to the sound village it starts to rain. The rain soaking in to there outfits slowing down their pace. Ukon grunting "Hurry up I don't like to be wet" "Hang on big brother we'll be there soon." Sakon replies. Kidoumaru stops suddenly a serious look comes over his face erasing the grin that once covered it. Seeing his expression Sakon stops as well. "What's wrong?" he asks. "We have someone heading this way." They both turn ready to attack as the footsteps can now be heard now. Splash…splash the steps go as if the person wasn't even trying to hide their presence. A shadowy figure slowly approaches them. Sakon and Kidoumaru start tense up the figure stepping into the clearing reveals Tayuya.

Seeing her they loosen up a bit. She had deep cuts and gashes all over her body. The rain accentuating the blood that pours from them as it beat heavily down on her. Her shirt is tattered and pieced. The bangs of the red head drape over her eyes hiding her disposition. Her clothes, completely drenched, cling tightly to her body it showing off her figure to the two. The bow of her outfit was gone as well as the leg wrappings and her trade mark hat. She was missing her right armband.

She trudges forward as if she were the undead. Continuing forward she doesn't even noticed there existence the memories of what had happened and only wanting to get home were the only thing going through her mind.

She starts to pass them, Kidoumaru's face is filled with concern for her when Sakon says, "Yo what crawled up your ass don't you know it aint nice to try and sneak up on your teammates?" His remark snapping her out of zombified state, she decks him with a right hook knocking him to the ground. Her breathing is heavy her eyes showing fear and anger as Sakon hits the ground with a splash. After decking him she snaps back into her dazed state eyes glazing over, her arm dropping lifelessly to her side. She turns and trudges towards the village entrance, mumbling to herself, "Shit heads, bastards, all men are the same nothing but dumb asses, fucking shitty ass rats…"

He is caught off guard, surprised that she would challenge him like that, being the strongest next to Kimimaro. Sakon hitting the ground at his sides makes a splash getting up. Enraged by her actions he charges at her about to beat the shit out of her when Kidoumaru steps in grabbing Sakon's arms with his own upper arms and holding him in place by grabbing his torso with his mid arms. Sakon struggles to get free but to no avail he cries out, "Ukon help me out! That bitch she…" Ukon cuts him off separating from his body from his brothers'. "Shut up! I'm tired of your whining and I'm tired of you wasting time in the rain and I'm sick and tired of you!" he says with a piecing glare directed at Sakon.

"I'm going back on my own, alone, not with you! Do you got that; I could careless about that tap on your cheek." Sakon stops struggling Kidoumaru releases his arms they fall to his side as the rain continues to beat down on them He feeling like his brother disowned him. Kidoumaru turning watching the two leave he turn back to Sakon and asks, "You…"

Sakon interrupting him screams, "Bitch! You! leaving me, why?" "You are annoying, whiny, and a little bitch."

"Fine! Be that way I don't need you anyway!" Sakon says before heading off away from the village entrance.

Ukon and Tayuya walk through the entrance drenched to the bone. Kabuto smiles his innocent smile and greets them with a cheerful tone. "Hello it seems you are soaking wet do you need anything?" Ukon pushes past him "Dry clothes and a bed" not stopping to converse. Tayuya frozen at the door Kabuto smiles asking, "What seems to be troubling you?" Tayuya looks at him for a moment about to speak the door opens behind her Kidoumaru entering she scoffs, "Nothing is troubling me I'm just tired is all" she puts up a front walking to her room Kidoumaru falling behind her, he calls out to her.

"Tayuya…Tayuya!" "I heard you the first time Octopus what do you want?" she asks not stopping or giving him a look back.

"Hey what happen to you? You look as if you been in a battle" he asks. "What's it to you shit head?" "Err…I'm just curious is all."

She stops and pauses for a moment then turns walking up to him she glares getting in his face she yells, "Listen I'm tired of your fucking games so back off I don't need this right now!"

Kidoumaru puts all his hands up with a smile on his face, "Calm down I'm not your enemy." he replies.

She continues to glare at him then turns away mumbling, "Just leave me alone."

He couldn't quite hear her he asks, "What did you say?"

She looks over her shoulder at him her eyes full of anger and spite she screams, "LEAVE ME ALONE! YOU STUPID FUCKING PRICK!" she then storms off heading for her room.

She disappears from sight into the dark corners of the hallway Kidoumaru playful smirk washes off his face turning into sadness, he clenches his fists tightly the three left arm punching simultaneous into the wall. The stonewall shatters, big chunks of wall falling at his feet. His punch leaves abrasions on all his hands. He ignores the pain his heart feeling worse. "I plan fifteen steps ahead, I calculate constantly but it always end the same way I fail why wont she let me in?" he thinks to himself before storming to his own.

A shadowy figure watches unnoticed by all. Their minds distracted by their own problems leaving the figure invisible to detection.
