Chapter 11

Renji

"Hi, Mika, miss me?"

I stood there in shock.

It couldn't be and if it is why now. It was close to sundown. Everyone will be looking for me. If Sasuke sees Renji …

"I've missed you." Renji said breaking my thought.

Renji appeared from the treetops.

I readied myself for his attack.

He took one step and disappeared. I had forgotten how fast he was. I spun to block, but before I finished he was behind me again.

He grabbed my right wrist before I could pull the kunai.

"Now that wouldn't have been fun. You're so mean, Mika, trying to pull a kunai on me." Renji said stepping closer.

He put his hand around my other hand. He kept trying to interlock his fingers around mine. I made a fist so it was harder.

It was irritating him a bit.

"Well, you seem to be very rejecting toward me." I didn't say anything.

He took a kunai from my pouch. I was unable to move. One for Renji's special abilities is paralyzing people. He cut into my left arm I didn't want to make a sound so that no one came to find me.

He cut me a few more times.

"You're more tolerant now aren't you? Hm, last time you screamed more."

He moved the kunai to my neck.

He's so sadistic, merciless, and all around nasty, evil, and dirty. Not in a good way.

I knew that he wasn't going for my neck. He used the kunai to start cutting my shirt.

I couldn't let him but I couldn't move.

I used my Takagan to see where everyone was. And of course Sasuke was the closest. He was in yelling distance.

"SASUKE! HELP ME!" I prayed that he heard.

All I could hear was Renji chuckling.

He found me calling for help amusing.

Renji finished cutting my shirt. His hand ventured toward my chest. I closed my eyes.

Suddenly I was knocked on my ass.

When I looked behind me Renji had something very long sticking out of his shoulder. I gasped for air. I had been unable to breath most of the time.

Then I felt my body being lifted off the ground. I looked over my shoulder. Sasuke was there holding me. He was like my guardian. He came when I called. He's here to protect me.

Sasuke walked over to Renji with me in his arms.

He positioned me to where he could grab his sword. He slipped it into its sheath. I looked at Sasuke I had never seen him so mad.

Sasuke walked a few feet from Renji. He propped me up against a tree.

"You okay? What happened?" Sasuke asked the anger in his face changed to worry as he eyed the cut on my body.

"I'm fine. Thank you." I said trying to get up, but he pushed me back.

"I'll take care of this. Don't worry…" he smirked wickedly "… it'll be easy." His eyes flashed crimson red.

*He'll kill Renji if I don't stop him.*Not that it would be a bad thing, but Renji was my enemy.

I grabbed his ankle, "Sasuke stop." Sasuke looked down the sharingan blazing in his eyes. "He's not worth it."

"Look at what he did to you. Not to mention what he wanted to do." Sasuke yelled he wanked his foot from me.

Renji tried to get up, but he was paralyzed by Sasuke's katana.

"Sasuke, please, I'm begging you. Let him go." Sasuke sighed. I knew it was hard for him to walk away when something like this happens. He wanted to obliterate Renji.

He turned and lifted me up.

"Thank you, Sasuke." I said giving him a kiss.

As we left I could hear Renji laugh to himself.

"Mika you okay!" Sakura and Naruto asked when Sasuke carried me into the small cabin we were staying in.

"Sakura, get me some water." I said as Sasuke set me down on a chair.

"Here, Mika." Sakura said handing me a bowl of water.

"Thanks" I placed my hands in the water. As I lifted the water out of the bowl, Sasuke asked, "Who is Renji?"

My heart sank and the water almost did the same.

I guess he has to know now, as I sat there with semi-deep cuts all over my face, arms, and stomach. Not only that my shirt was cut open.

"He is a bad memory." I said as I used the water to heal my wounds.

"Mika are you sure?" Sakura asked. "He should know he's my boyfriend."

Sasuke was quiet waiting for my answer. After I got another shirt on I started to tell the story.

"A few months after Naruto left the village with Jiraya, I had a mission in the Hidden Stone Village. This was the mission that would guarantee my becoming a jonin."

"But, Mika you didn't become a jonin until two years after Naruto left." Sakura interrupted.

"Hold questions till the end, please. As I was saying. So the ninja I was to track and kill was Renji. When the time came that I found Renji, he said stuff like I was intriguing and piqued his interest. He disappeared before I could make my move.

"So I was going to try again the next night. One night when I was asleep he found me."

I could see Sasuke's face grow red with anger.

"He … well ... he at least tried to rape me." Sasuke stood up, he was furious.

"But …" I said hold up my hands. I couldn't finish without mentioning Gaara. Though I knew I had to. "… Gaara had been keeping an eye on me and he was able to show up and stop Renji before to long. But Renji still got away. After that Gaara was unwilling to let me finish the mission causing me to wait till another time to become a jonin.

"That is who Renji is and why I couldn't let you kill him, Sasuke. That is also why I didn't tell you beforehand. He is mine to kill I will finally get him. Renji and I have unfinished business."

Sasuke walked over to me, he grabbed me in a hug.

"Never keep those kinds of things from me." Sasuke said in my ear. "I'll protect you from that stuff from now on." He kissed me.

I knew that already. He didn't need to tell me.
