It had been a week and Katana still hadn't come back to the village. Kaya and everyone else was getting ready to go out and find her but then Katana's front door of her house opened and everyone went running down stairs and to the lounge room to find Katana collapsed on her couch with Kurenai-sensei next to her looking over all her cuts and wounds. Kaya and Sasuke sighed and walked over looking down at her. Where's Katara when you need her at some time? Kaya thought then the door swang open and in ran Katana's younger grown up sister and she was at Katana's side in seconds.
"Can you read minds or something?" Kaya asked and Katara shook her head. "Well you must come at the right time then."
"Yeah, I guess so but what happened?" Katara demanded to know. Kaya and the others sat down and told Katara everything they knew and Katara looked back at her elder sister and remembered what her mother and father and herself had said when she was only 4 ½, Now 12 ½.
"Kiba..." Katana mumbled in her sleep and everyone looked at her as if she was a weirdo. "Where are you..." Katana continued and in her dream flashes of the Akatsuki come in. Kaya went to put her hand on Katana's head but Katana flung up and looked around as if something was wrong and ran up stairs in a rush and had a shower, got changed into new cloths the same as her other ones but these were one's with her clan symbol on the back of the top and jacket. She packed all her Kunai and Shuriken on and grabbed her super sharp sword and put it on her side and grabbed her black cloak running back down stairs with her hair still out.
"What!?" she growled looking at them and they shook their heads. Katana shrugged it off and ran out her door and was off.
"Where would she be going now?"
"Who knows?" Naruto said and looked at the door with Katana run in and into the kitchen grabbed something to eat and was out again. "Must have been hungry." he laughed and they all laughed as well.
"She should be here soon but I couldn't find her out there anywhere," Hidan said and looked at Pein.
"She must have given up on you, boy," he said and looked at Kiba. He had been torturing Kiba all week and Kiba was covered in cuts and burses but he still didn't show any pain or fear. He looked at Pein then at Sasori and Deidara with sad looks on their faces but still looked scary. Katana, where are you? Kiba thought looking around him then to his side where a tall black haired guy with a ponytail stood with his red eyes staring him down.
"Pein, what do we do with him?" the guy asked and looked back at Kiba again.
"Tortured him, Itachi, she's not coming for him and to come fight us so why keep him alive."
"Right," Itachi was about to start his torture when a Kunai with a peace of paper came flying past his face and stabbed into the wall near Pein. Pein lifted his hand up and pulled on the paper. It read:
Pein,
What's your back Pein cause I'm not giving up and won't let you take anything else precious away from me? If you lay one hand on Kiba or Akamaru and I will personally depose of you, if I find that Kiba's been hurt you will regret the day you ever heared my name or of my clan and the water village cause I will avenge them and KILL YOU!!!!
Katana Kasuma! 'Demon girl! Your worst nightmare!'
"Well, well. She is coming but still continue with what you were doing, Itachi." Pein said and got rid of the note.
If you have laid one finger on Kiba I will rip you apart Akatsuki and that's a promise. Katana thought looking around her everywhere she could find. Eventually she stopped for a rest and found a cave with windows and doors and grinned. Found you! Say goodnight, Pein! Katana growled and wrote a short letter, pulled a Kunai out and throw it into one of the windows where talking was coming from and looked occupied. When she heard 'torture' she clinched her fists and ran right into the hideout breaking anything in her way.
"What's that, Pein?" Sasori asked when crashing sounds started up.
"She's here I think," Pein, grinned and Itachi moved away from Kiba and Akamaru in despair and fear and pain. They all looked at the door and was about to open it but the wall was blow down and crushed by the force. Katana looked around at Kiba and Akamaru tied up. She didn't bother to look at the Akatsuki and ran for Kiba and Akamaru. She grabbed a Kunai and cut the rope, grabbed Kiba then Akamaru and turned to run off but the Akatsuki got in her way. She backed up to the wall and put Kiba down against it.
"Katana," Kiba softly said when she put him down and hugged her slightly. Katana sighed then looked back at them.
"Isn't that cute, good thing your here you get to watch him die,"
"What do you mean by that Pein!?"
"Well, let me ask you how much mental suffering can Kiba here take?" Katana's eyes flashed red and went right to Itachi and glared him down.
"What did you do to him!?!?!?!?" Katana almost yelled her Chakra starting to flare off her in waves.
"Nothing, really just messed with his head a little." she grint her teeth and looked back at Kiba, she leaned into his ear.
"Kiba, if you can't hear me do anything, make a sound or hit me, anything," she said and glanced back at the group and felt his breath on her neck then he mumbled something she couldn't quiet hear.
"What was that?" she softly asked again and he said it again but still couldn't hear him. "Once more, come on Kiba, I don't have super hearing like you do, remember?" she smiled with a small sad laugh.
"Katana, I lo..." he stopped there and went lime. Katana tightened her grip and looked up at them.
"What did you do to him!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" she snapped.
"Nothing much..."
"WHAT DID YOU DO!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" she screamed out in pure furiously and pain.
"To make it simple... killed him." Itachi said and watched Katana go from furious to absolutely calm in microseconds. She closed her eyes and put her hands together making hand-signs.
"What are you doing now, girl?" Kakazu said trying not to roll his eyes watching her and got ready for her to use something on them. Her eyes snapped open and she looked at them through her medium ocean blue eyes with tears wanting to fall. She cracked her knuckles and ran at them. Kakazu wasn't ready for her to ran at them and froze looking around him, the next thing he was lying on the ground with her on his back holding his arms, pulling them upwards. Kiba, please don't be dead; I don't what to see you or Akamaru or anyone else die again! Katana cried out in horror looking at Kiba lying there unmoved. Please I'm begging you don't die! She felt Kakazu move and her arms pulled right across his back and heard a loud cracking sound then him cry out in pain. She jumped off him, back next to Kiba in and crouch and looking at her hands.
"What's wrong, Katana, can't handle killing?" Kakazu laughed and his body started doing something.
"Why would I want to kill in cold-blood? Then I'll be worse then you." she growled out and looked up at them, glancing at Kiba and saw a little white thing next to him not moving at all. Akamaru! Katana thought and ran to the other side of Kiba and picked Akamaru up looking at him but he wasn't breathing, she put two figures to Kiba's throat and could just feel him breathing a little and Akamaru's was a lot more faint. No! Please god, NO! Katana shot up putting Akamaru on Kiba's lap and looked at the Akatsuki smirking their faces off.
"What's wrong, now?" Pein said looked her up and down then back at her normally and the cold, scary and promising deaths look on her face and grin.
"Nothing, just you'll wish you never crossed paths with me," Katana growled sprinting at them making hand-signs. "EVER!" she yelled weaving past the metal strings Sasori through at her leaving him dumbfounded and shocked. The ground started to shake and crack around Katana as she stood there with her eyes closed and concentrated. Hidan smirked and ran right at Katana with an attack. He throw his staff at her but before it got anywhere near her and barrier of some kind come up around her, deflecting it and went right back at him. Hidan moved out of the way and looked at her in absolutely shock.
"What the hell is that!?" Hidan growled grabbing his staff.
"Thunderbolt Barrier Jutsu!" Katana sneared and just when Kakazu was about to say something bolts of thunder struck out in every direction. They all fled out of the way and the entire hideout came crashing down on top of them getting minor injuries to them. They got up pushing the dirt, rock and grime out of the way and looked up at Katana. They could see the flashes of thunder flicking around on the barrier and looked at Katana as she opened her eyes and looked down at Kiba and Akamaru behind her, she then turned around and glared at them.
"So much for I can't fight," she grinned and made another set of hand-signs and the Akatsuki got ready.
They used Jutsu after Jutsu trying to get to Katana but none of them worked on her barrier, all it did was reflect their attacks. As Katana stood there she heard movement from behind her. She spun around and looked down at Kiba and Akamaru. Akamaru moved and opened his eyes, blinking a couple of times before seeing Katana, barked and ran at her jumping into her arms.
"Are you okay, Akamaru?" he barked again and looked back at Kiba. Katana closed her eyes and looked away from Kiba to her side, sighing. Tears welling up in her eyes slightly but she wouldn't let them fall. Akamaru made a sad noise and Katana clinched onto him and the tears she didn't want to fall come out. Her heart was breaking and couldn't be healed. Not ever.
'Katana you need to calm down. One day you will meet a boy and won't ever know till the time in your life. You have someone else there.'an older females voice rang in her head 'when I grow up I want to be just like you, Katana!' a little girl smiled 'you can win if you put your mind to it and when the times are hard you will have others that care about you and one will like you more then a sister or friend and you will never let anything happen to any of them. We love you Katana.' a male said hugging his eldest daughter. Mother, Father, Katara... Everyone! Katana held onto Akamaru falling to her knees as her tears came lose. Not again. I've lost one of the people I loved again, why does this keep happening to me? Why me but why did it have to be Kiba!? Katana cried out falling to her side on the ground curled up still holding Akamaru and he was whining a little.
"What have you lost something, girl?" Hidan smirked but Katana didn't even remark as she cried and moved over to Kiba. She put Akamaru on his lap and pulled him into her in a tight embarrass, her head down and her hair covering hers and Kiba's faces.
"Please Kiba, Wake up!" Katana chocked out pulling him up to her and hugged him. With Katana so upset and crying her Jutsu was wearing off and couldn't hold up for much longer as it flickered and wavered around. They stood there and just watched as it came down and the weather calmed down. "Come on Kiba. Wake up, please. I'm begging you, wake up," she whispered in his ear starting to lose her voice. "Kiba, I love you. So please wake up!" Sasori and Deidara stared in disbelief at the girl and how she was; they watched Pein and the others getting some satisfaction out of her suffering. They were shocked when Katana said that she loved him. Pein and the other three built up their Chakra and aimed it at Katana. She looked up once then back down at Kiba not caring what happened. Sasori and Deidara moved in front of Katana, Kiba and Akamaru when the attack was sent at them. Sasori used his puppets and Deidara used his clay and blocked the attack.
"What are you doing? You should be trying to kill me like them and Pein won't be happy about you protecting me," Katana whispered out watching Kiba with her tear stained face and suffering eyes. From their naturally bright medium ocean blue to a deep silvery scared, terrified blue.
"What does that matter," Sasori said and turned to her. "He wasn't much of a bad guy and I can see why he would like you so much," he smiled looking down at her. She lifted her head up and looked at him.
"What do you mean by that?" she asked softly. Carefully putting Kiba down and stood up getting anything on her face off.
"You don't know how much he likes you, do you?"
"No, how should I know. I never learnt to love or any of that. I don't understand any of it,"
"How can you not when you're like that?" Deidara said with a smile.
"I guess your right but why go against Pein to protect me?" Katana asked getting her strength back and stood up straight making hand-signs.
"Your upset," Sasori started. "And as long as I've been with Pein and the Akatsuki, I can't help but feel sorry for you and what has happened," he looked away and Deidara and his defences got burnt down and on the other side was a really pissed off Pein and Akatsuki members as they attacked Sasori and Deidara instead of her. A huge blast of fire, Chakra and other things went at the two and knocked them to the ground.
"Disrespectful, you disobey me and don't think you will live," Pein said and stepped forward to them. Katana jumped in front of them with her arms out in attempt to stop him but he kept walking. "And you think a weak little girl like you can stop me," he laughed. "That's something I'll wait for." Katana glared at him and put her hands out in front of her like she was going to catch something but her hands straight.
"What are you doing?" Deidara asked looked at her and she tensed.
"Something, I should have done ages ago," she said in a very low, scary voice with a growl. She brought her hands back together and made a hand-sign.
"What's that going to do?" Pein laughed as he kept walking.
"You'll see," she closed her eyes and concentrated. A ball of Chakra started to came into her hand and she put her hand to the side.
"What is that!?" Itachi said looking at it. Katana smirked as it grow brighter and bigger in her hand getting stronger and started to make a loud crashing and roaring sound.
"You really want to know?" she said and they stared at it.
"That's not something you should use, girl." Pein said.
"Yeah well your not one to talk, you shouldn't be attacking your own kin!" Katana snapped back.
"My kin, their betrayer-"
"They betrayed you, yeah I've heard it all before and by the way, and I would suggest you back off unless you want to die where you stand." Katana said and looked at him.
"What is that attack?" he said pointing at the loud ball of Chakra.
"One of my specialties.... Armato Sumorata!" she growled and sprinted at Pein but dodge him and went for Kakazu and Hidan. Hidan made himself a voodoo doll and went into his pentagon. "Not this time." she said and jumped right into it knocking him out of it to the ground hitting him with the attack, jumped off him and turned to Kakazu. He was doing something and she attacked him dodging his tentacles. She got right to him with her hand over where a human heart would be. "Say good-bye, Kakazu." she slammed her hand against him and the mass amount of power sent her flying but she hit the ground in a crouch. She looked at the other two and they attacked her. She grinned and made hand-signs.
"Shadow Dragon Jutsu!" she said and smoke surrounded her and they stopped. After a few moments it cleared up and what was there was a Dragon three times bigger then the Hokage's building. It's black scales glistening in the sunlight, it's red eyes burning into them in pure hatred.
"Whoa... calm down there," Deidara said quietly and looked up at her. "That's one huge Dragon, don't you think Sasori?" he looked at Sasori and he was frozen cold to the spot staring at her. She roared out loud enough to shake the ground under her feet. She built up fire in her mouth from the burning in her stomach. It grew huge then she breathed it out at them. They got burnt a little looking like they got killed and Katana sighed, transformed back and landed just beside the huge crater in the ground with Pein and Itachi in it burnt pretty badly but not as bad as it could have been. Sasori and Deidara watched her as she stood up took one look at them in the ground then ran to Kiba, picked him up on her back with Akamaru and ran off back to the village as fast as she possibly could without stopping for a second looking back at Kiba every now and then when Akamaru barked and made little noises.
"Katana!" Katara said when Katana came bolting in the door almost kicking it off it's hinges.
"Where's Kaya?" Katana demanded putting Kiba on the couch.
"Um..."
"KAYA!" Kaya came running into the room and froze at the sight. "Don't just stand there like a stunned bloody rabbit, hurry up and try and heal him!" she ordered and Kaya quickly ran over and concentrated.
"Katana, are you okay?" Hinata asked walking in.
"I'm fine, you?" she said and sat down on the couch and held onto Kiba's hand with almost a death grip but not that tight. Ino and Sakura came running down the stairs and froze as soon as they saw Katana. She was sitting with Kiba holding his hand as tight as she would allow herself to, crying again with Hinata hugging her and Kaya trying to heal Kiba. Come on Kiba, your stronger then this you know it and I know it. Your stronger then me and I are thankful that I ever met you in my life. Please I don't want to lose anyone else that I love in life not now and not ever. What am I supposed to do if your not here? I can't think or a more horrible thing then not having you here with me. Please Kiba, Please wake up. If not for them or anything else then please do this for me; I don't want to lose you! Katana thought sadly as her tears fell and she held Hinata's arm with her other hand. she clinched onto Hinata's arm as tightly as she could and she didn't care that every Genin was seeing her cry for Kiba. Kaya sighed and the green light on her hands faded.
"What's wrong!?" Katana snapped out letting go of Hinata and looked right at Kaya.
"I can't do anything more for him, I'm not strong enough, Katana and it's too late, I'm-"
"No, it's not." Katana growled. "I'll die before I let him leave this place!" she felt something tighten on her hand but didn't pay any heed to it. Kaya and the others looked at Katana and sighed. She's learnt to love herself, I hope Kiba wakes up and is okay. Kaya thought standing up and got everyone else to leave as well following her to the Academy where they would take to their sensei's and others.
"Kiba, Kiba, Kiba! Come on, you have to wake up!" Katana said turning to him once everyone was gone. She got off the couch and knelt next to him holding his hand in both hers with her head down and forehead on the couch. "Please Kiba, If you can hear me, wake up. I don't want you to die; I don't want to lose you Kiba! I don't want to say good-bye or watch you get put in the ground! Please for the love of heaven, hell and earth, wake up!" she cried out in a chock stopping the tears from falling from her eyes. Akamaru walked over to her, jumped on the couch and sat near her. She looked up and smiled a little at him. She pulled Kiba's hand up and rested her head on it. "I'm begging and pleating on my hand's and knees Kiba, Please wake up. I love you." she said it again with her voice full of love, sadness and pain. She got up and lay down on the couch and hugged him with Akamaru at hers and Kiba's head she closed her eyes and laid her head on his shoulder and fell sleep.
