Innocence
Chapter 15
"Kaka-sensei, there is a lot of mist, is the bad-guy here?" Narue's voice was subdued by the heavy pressure in the air. They had arrived at the bridge, but had found it swamped by a cloud of mist large enough to hide the entire bridge and all on it.
As they moved closer, the group gasped in unison at the sight of motionless bodies and blood splatters all across the bridge. Ominous cackling echoed and Kakashi motioned for the genin to surround and protect the client (Tazuna).
Zabuza's cleaver appeared first, followed by the carrier himself. He was grinning from ear to ear, sending waves of bloodlust and killer intent down on them. He was accompanied by two others, the same height as the genin. Each was wearing a hunter-nin mask, eye holes calmly glaring into their skulls.
Zabuza called out to them in a menacing voice, "Maybe it will be different this time eh? Kakashi? Hahahaha! Now your students can't save you!" the demon of the mist motioned with his hand, and the two masked people sprang forward. Both Narue and Sasuke were overcome and could not keep formation. They jumped away with the two others after them; Shikamaru was left in front of Tazuna, eyes darting around checking for any surprise attacks.
Zabuza took Kakashi's attention away from his combating students by pressing forwards and slamming his sword down on the jounin's head. Kakashi blocked, and soon jumped into the fighting fray.
She blocked a storm of needles with a chakra sweep of her hand, (she waves her hand and a small wave of chakra swipes at anything in the air.) and jumped away from another. The masked person made no effort to communicate or interact with her, and only tried to stick her full of needles.
The Nin stopped suddenly, and began making hand seals while taking with a low monotone, "I am sorry to kill you but it must be done for Zabuza-san. I am also sorry to tell you that both of your friends are going to die, along with your sensei and the client. There is no other way." The Nin spoke a low jutsu name, and the water from the mist began to bunch together around Narue, creating a dome of flat plated mirrors of ice.
"This will be your death." The Nin pivoted and melted into one of the mirrors, and soon, every mirror had a person in it.
Narue gasped and looked around; she had no way to tell which the real one was. Narue cried out when she felt a pinching feeling in her shoulder, her left hand grabbed it and her head twitched to the area. There was a long needle, with purple goop oozing down the shaft and bleeding into the wound.
Her shoulder seemed to freeze, poison maybe? Well, she could feel its effects, se had to stop this before any other poison gets into her body, and she didn't know what would happen.
Narue ripped it out of her shoulder with a little force; she turned and glared at the boy in the mirror. Gritting her teeth, she waited as another wave of needles came her way, then she used something her mother had taught her, expending chakra from all tenketsu in her body,. The chakra folded together to create a dome on one side of her body, reflecting the needles easily and then dissipating into the air.
Haku (yeah I said haku!) took in this change and resumed his attack, sending storms of needles on each side. Narue panted and flinched at each attack. The defensive jutsu drained most of her power, taking her energy with it. She new she had to do something fast, or else the consequences will be bad.
Narue prepared herself for an attack, and was about to fire when a cry of pain distracted her. Sasuke screamed again as the blade dug deeper into hi stomach, poking its gory self out of his back. Narue's heart stopped just as Sasuke's frozen body hit the ground. The scene was stuck in her eye and she didn't even feel when a whole barrage of needles stuck themselves into her side.
The needles seemed to make her muscles freeze and she soon tumbled, still looking at Sasuke. A yell from Shikamaru sounded like a murmur as her eyes closed into darkness.
Deep within the recesses of the little blonde's mind, the near silent chuckling grew louder, echoing around the sewer. It was dark and evil, full of black mirth and mal-intent. Bubbling red chakra forced itself out of the cracks of the gate, flowing into her consciousness.
A grin as hideous as its holder grated, "You can't fight me forever youngling, and I will win."
---- (slight gore here, I warn you!)--------
Her blonde head rolled to the side, her body looked dead to all those. Shikamaru had tears in his eyes, and the kunai he was holding shook. Tazuna had turned away, unable to look at the death of two young children. Kakashi froze, still in his fight, to gape at the little bombshell, all blown up. Haku stepped out of his ice and walked slowly towards the downed ninja.
They were halted however, when her body convulsed. It twitched and flung itself around the wood. Narue's legs trembling stood her arms and head hung downwards, with no life at all. They flinched however when her head whipped up to scream at the sky. Red chakra swirled around lashing at the mist, burning before it touched.
The people on the bridge could feel the heat coming off the girl, and shielded their eyes. When it was clear enough to look, they caught sight of little Narue standing with her arms to her side and her face lifted to the rain (it had started after Sasuke 'died'). A small smiled crept itself onto her face, and it grew to horrible lengths, revealing her canines.
Haku leaped back into his mirror, just in time it seems. Narue exploded from her position and appeared right where Haku just was, grinning and fist still in the smoking ground.
"Maybe we can tear your heart out eh? Give us some sport?" her voice was hideous, as if two voices spoke at once. Her tongue came out and licked her lips, sliding over the long teeth with a slick sound that echoed around the bridge.
Haku jumped to another bridge, flinging a few needles and the crouching Narue's head. Her clawed hands shot to grab them; they crushed the metal and flicked them to the ground. Haku tried to retreat, but Narue was already between him and the mirror, and the only sight he saw again, was her red slitted eyes, and her claws before they gouged into his brown eyes.
Narue ripped her fingers out of his eye sockets, bringing the useless things with it. Haku screamed and fell to his knees, grasping at his eyes. Narue giggled with her new voice "there now, I just don't want you is all….shall we get started?" she swiped at the side of his head, ripping off the ear, and also smacking off his mask.
Haku's face was fearful and in pain, it contorted and his eye sockets moved, not knowing what to do without any eyes. Narue kicked his chest, breaking a couple ribs near the lungs. She heard a snap and smiled, listening to his hitched breathing. The others on the bridge watched this brutality with horror, where was the little girl they knew?
Shikamaru couldn't stand it, "NARUE!!! STOP IT! THIS ISNT YOU! WHERE ARE YOU!? NARUE!!!" tears had built and now ran down one cheek. The girl turned to face him, and suddenly appeared right in his face, hand ready to swipe. About a foot away from contact, the claws stopped. Narue's face convulsed in pain and agony, she whispered to shikamaru, "Please…Shikamaru…help me….he's…hurting me…I can't…breath!...help me!"
Shikamaru didn't know what to do, the sounds from Kakashi's and Zabuza's fight came to his ears, as well as Haku's hurtful wails and cries. Shikamaru took his best guess and hugged her. (Yes folks I said hug.) Narue froze at the strange heat and feeling. She could feel the bad chakra leaving her, returning to its place behind bars.
She collapsed against Shikamaru's chest, sobbing her heart out. The boy who had been fighting Sasuke stood uncertainly, should he go to haku and help him? Or should he kill the girl and the others?
Strange enough there was barking in the mist, where Zabuza and Kakashi were fighting. Then there was a sparkling chirping noise, it sounded loud in the silent space. Taking one last look at Haku and the others, he bounded straight into the mist. There were clangs and the sound of a body hitting wood. Then there was clapping.
At the uncompleted end of the bridge, was a short, fat figure. He was pudgy and wore black round glasses; he was also smiling like a little weasel that just got a chicken.
"Oh lookie here, the big bad demon and his little followers couldn't even handle an old man and his brats. Well, Zabuza, you're out of the job, I've brought along some friends that may help." the mist around him cleared and revealed an army of men. They carried weapons and were grinning at the others on the bridge.
"Gatou you lying little pig!" Zabuza roared and pulled his sword from the ground, dashing straight at the man. Gatou eye's widened and he took a step back, watching the angry demon from hell close in on him. A sweep of his sword, and Zabuza had taken gatou's head off, jumping into the army soon after.
He was only able to chop down a couple dozen, before the injuries he sustained pulled him under, and to the army's mercy. The army rebuilded itself and looked angrily at the others on the bride. Kakashi clenched his teeth, he was too tired to fight them, and he doubted that his students were any better. Zabuza joined his subordinates in death's freezing hands.
Narue looked with a red face at all the men, and looked at what they were standing on. Quickly she pushed herself away from shikamaru, and dashed around Kakashi, ignoring their cries of protests. She halted about 2 meters away from the front line, and brought her fist up, pointing at the ground. Several of the men laughed, what could a little girl do by punching the bridge?
The answer was: lots.
Her punch landed, and a cloud of dust rose, then a great cracking sound. The bridge came out under the army's feet, and brought them down to a watery grave.
Narue fell into herself after and shook, crying. Kakashi ran forward and picked her up like a small child. Shikamaru was kneeling beside Sasuke, and yelled back over his shoulder, "He's alive!" Tazuna smiled, and sighed in relief, what a day, his smile disappeared however when he saw his daughter and grandson struggling in the hands of two very scared thugs.
Kakashi glared at them, he was in no mood to be irritated. The two men gulped at the look in the silver-haired man's eye, this could not end well.
End!
(Whine) I'm so tired right now! (Groan) I'm not good at writing fight scene either, but you all love me right?
Are you happy on what I did with the fighting's, I didn't follow the actual storyline, but I think it turned out pretty good.
What do ya think?
