I don't own Naruto
Komechi's POV
"What's going on Suya?" Komechi calmly asked into the earpiece.
Five minutes has passed and all the screams has stopped.
"Is that you Suya?"
"What's going on?"
"What do you mean you don't know?" Komechi said in a somewhat angry tone.
"Ambushed?" Komechi asked in a confused tone.
"What kind of animals?"
"Those type of animals shouldn't be down here in this area."
"Where are the others?"
Komechi could tell that Suya was smirking.
"Takeo, Daichi. Did you two here all of that?" Komechi said into his second earpiece. "
"We heard everything." Daichi replied.
"Komechi. Do you think those two people have anything to do with that ambush?" Takeo asked.
"Its a possibility but I don't doubt it."
I slowly opened my eyes then looked over at Ino, who was peacefully sleeping. I blushed as I realized that she had her head on my chest and her body was so close to mine. I smiled as I slowly moved her, then exited the tent.
"Yori, Saburo, Isamu, Hideo, Michi, Jiro" I walked up to the lake and kneeled down.
*Yes Rae.* They said in a union as they surrounded me.
"I smell blood." I then stuck my head into the river.
When I lifted my head up, I wiped the water away from my eyes then looked at Yori.
*Some of Komechi's men tried to attack you and Ino while y'all was asleep, so we had to take them out.* Yori looked at me.
"How did you know they were Komechi's men?"
(Flashback.)
*Yeah, you two are right. Now!* Yori said then him and the others ambushed the group of guys.
"Suya watch out!" A man warned him as the animals jumped out.
"What?" He slowly turned around.
"Ahh" Suya screamed as Yori landed on him then bit down on his shoulder.
"Is that a lion?" A random man asked out of fear.
Yori roared then Saburo jumped out.
"That thing's teeth is huge!" Another random man yelled as they all started running.
Yori and Saburo ran at them then clawed down all four of them. Yori then roared.
*You hear that Hideo? Yori and Saburo are finished.* Isamu said to Hideo as they clawed down the two people they was pursuing.
Isamu roared then him and Hideo headed back to the camp.
*We're all finished.* Michi said then licked the blood off of his paws.
*Let's head back to the camp.* Jiro implied.
*Yori!*
*Yes Saburo.*
*The fifth guy is getting away.*
*I'll get him.* Yori said then ran after Suya.
"Komechi sir." Suya said while all out of breath.
"Yes sir." Suya said as he sat back against the tree he was leaning on.
"I don't know sir."
"Things just happened to fast. We were ambushed."
"Yes sir and by animals."
"If I'm not tripping there was a lion, some kind of tiger with long teeth, a jaguar, a snow leopard, a cheetah, and a cougar."
"I know."
Yori jumped in front of Suya, then he smirked. "Dead. And I'm going to be dead soon. It was fun serving you, Daichi and Takeo. Bye Komechi." Yori jumped at him, ending his life.
(Flashback Ended.)
"Great job guys. Now rest." I praised then took their slips off.
Ino woke up and I was no longer in the tent. She stretched as she stood up then exited the tent to find me eating.
"Good morning Rae." She smiled.
I just threw my left hand up in reply.
"Where is Yori and the others?"
"Resting."
"Didn't they rest all night?"
"Sort of."
"So why are they still resting?"
"Because I don't need them for the moment." I said in an annoyed tone.
"He's still mad. I can tell by his tone." Ino said to herself as she made her way beside me and started to eat.
After we finished our breakfast we packed up everything then started walking. 10 minutes has passed and I got annoyed.
"This is taking to long." I said to myself as I jumped onto a tree branch then took off.
Surprisingly, Ino kept up with me as we continued to move through the forest. Once again the silence was killing Ino.
"Rae, can things go back to the way they used to be?"
I didn't give a reply. Ino sighed then thought about the old days when me and her was young.
(-"Hey Ino, over here." Rae (10) motioned Ino (10) to come here. Ino made her way over to Rae. "Look Ino, its our objective." Rae smiled as he picked up the purple jem out from under the giant bear's left claw.-)
Ino smiled. "That was our first D rank mission together." She said to herself.
(-"Ino we've been partners for a long time and its obvious that we like each other so let's seal it here. You're now my girlfriend and I'm your boyfriend." Rae (14) said then kissed Ino (14), causing her to blush deeply.-)
"He said that to me when we were on our first A rank mission but our 17th mission all together." Ino said to herself while smiling.
Ino snapped out of her zone as she felt a hand around her wrist and another one around her waist. She then realized that she almost fell out of a tree.
"Be careful." I said while giving her this worried look.
Ino looked at me in shock. "So, he still do care about me." She said to herself.
After she caught her balance I let go of her. Ino smiled at me then I turned around to hide my blush. When I turned around I noticed that we have almost reached our main point. We jumped out of the tree then entered the Midwest's territory. As we walked through the Water Country, and through a crowd of it's people, Ino walked closely beside me so that she wouldn't lose sight of me. As we made our way out of the town and out near the Country's coast, we ended up near a Base that we will have to infiltrated. Just like the last Base, it had guards all around the building. I used the same trick I used last time to get in through the left corridor but instead of using Isamu, I used Michi and Jiro.
"Now, you two take good care of each other and be careful. Don't kill anyone unless you really have to." I said in a serious tone while looking at them.
*Yes sir.* Michi and Jiro said in a union.
They looked at me then jumped on me, licking my face. I smiled and rubbed both of their heads.
*Let's go, Jiro.* Michi communicated with Jiro.
They took off running in the same direction, catching the men's attention and lured them into the woods. We entered the Base's basement and it looked a little different from the last one. It wasn't a giant maze, it was just open space. Ino and I cautiously walked through the basement looking for clues for about 10 minutes befor we got disrupted.
"Its down here." We heard someone say.
(Damnit.) I cursed to myself. We were in the heart of the basement and there won't them many good hiding spots. With nowhere to hide I motioned Ino to go find one of the few decent hiding spot.
"No matter what happens, don't come out until the coast is clear." I said to Ino.
"I'm a Hidden Leaf ninja too Rae. I can help you fight." Ino said with a serious look.
I blushed a little at her courage then shook it off. "Stay out of this. I can handle it."
Ino just looked at me.
"It's this way." I heard the voices getting closer.
"Go, Ino." I gave her a serious look.
"Fine."
As soon as Ino hid the men caught sight of me.
"Who is he Tomio?" A man with light purple hair asked a guy with curly black hair.
"I don't know Guro, he must be an intruder." Tomio said then looked at me.
"Kill him!" Guro yelled.
Tomio ran at me with a tonto in his hand. I pushed the tiny black button that's on the side of my kunai's handle. I deflected his attack with the silver chain that's hanging from my kunai. As soon as I deflected his attack, I through the free end of my chain forward. My chain wrapped around his weapon and his arm. I did a 180 spin backwards, allowing my elbow to strike him on the back of his head. I spun back are around to face him, then quickly threw my right foot forward, connecting with his face. Tomio was instantly sent flying backwards as my chain unraveled from the grip it had on him.
"Tomio!" Guro yelled and ran at me but he was no match at all.
I sent Guro to the ground so fast that he himself don't know how it happened.
"I didn't even break a sweat." I said with a cocky tone.
"Cocky bastard. I can see that you like beating up the weaklings." An unknown voice rang out of nowhere.
"Hn." I said with a blank expression.
"Come fight a real opponent." The man with blue hair smiled.
"You seem excited, Takeo."
"I am excited, Daichi. That kid. He seems familiar."
"Have you met him before?" Daichi wondered.
"No, but I heard a story about some kid a while back, and that guy right there fits the description of the kid in that story. Plus, there's something about him that makes me want to fight him right now." Takeo said while smiling.
"I never seen you act like this, Takeo."
"Because, I never been this excited to fight someone."
"That's Daichi and Takeo from The Terrifying Trio." I said to myself then stiffened up my defense.
"Daichi, should we beat him up?" Takeo asked his younger brother.
"I think we should, Takeo. Plus he is intruding." Daich smiled.
I created an ice sculpture of Hideo and Isamu then brought them to life.
"Look Daichi, he has pets to help him out." Takeo smirked. "Don't they seem familiar as well."
Daichi smirked. "Your right Takeo. They fit the description of the Jaguar and Snow Leopard who ambushed Suya's group." Daichi then got angry. "So you were responsible for Suya and the others death! You killed my best friend and I will make you will pay for it." Daichi said as he looked at me.
I just looked at them with a blank facial expression.
"How are we going to do this, Takeo?"
"We can give Komechi the details later but for now let's have some fun." Takeo said then looked at me with a satanic smile.
"Get ready Hideo. Get ready Isamu." I said in a low enough tone that only they could hear.
*Are you ready Hideo?* Isamu asked him.
*Yeah, I'm ready.* Hideo replied.
They then also stiffened up their defense.
"Please be careful Rae, Isamu and Hideo." Ino said to herself as she watched from her hiding spot.
"I want him, Takeo. He killed Suya." Daichi stated then slowly started walking up to me.
"No fair Daichi. I want to fight him." Takeo said to himself then sighed. "Fine."
"Hideo, Isamu. Hold off the one that's not coming for me." I ordered.
*Yes sir.* Hideo and Isamu yelled in an union as they ran at Takeo.
Takeo then pulled out his blue bladed Yari (a traditionally made Japanese blade "nihonto" in the form of a straight-headed spear.) then smirked. "Time to be entertained."
"Hideo, Isamu. Watch out, he has one of the six legendary weapons."
*We hear you loud and clear boss.* Isamu yelled as they continued to charge at Takeo.
Daichi stopped walking then ran at me and slung his red bladed Gūnto (used by the Japanese army and navy after the end of the samurai era) going for a fatal attack.
"Shit. He got a legendary weapon as well." I said to myself as I stopped his attack with my chain.
I tried to use my chain to get a grip around his Gūnto, but before I could grip the blade he pulled it back.
"Nice." Daichi said then slung his sword at me again.
I jumped back, dodging the attack. As soon as my foot hit the ground, Daichi moved and was instantly in front of me. He slung his sword downwards, going for a head shot but my chain caught his sword again. When his sword got caught he threw his right foot forward, connecting with my stomach. I stumbled back and he came at me again. He slung his sword upwards but this time I tried deflecting it with my kunai. As I struggled to hold down Daichi's Guntō with my kunai I decided to throw an attack. I threw my left leg up going for a head shot but, he caught my leg in mid air. Before I could use my other leg, he kicked it from under me and sent me to the ground.
"Ouch." I said in a low tone as my head smacked the ground extremely hard.
I quickly got up then put a decent amount of space between us.
"What's this?" I asked myself then touched the back of my head.
When I looked at my hand it was soaked with blood.
"I'm surprised you can move after a blow to the head like that." Daichi said with an impressed tone.
"I'm not the type of person to easily give up. No matter what kind of hit I receive."
"Hm. I know you're feeling dizzy. You got up too fast plus I can tell that your head is damaged. You left some blood on the ground." Daichi said as he pointed to the pile of blood on the floor.
"I'm fine." I lied.
My head is spinning, my eye sight is blurry and I'm trying my best to stand up straight.
Daichi smirked. "Here I come." He said then ran at me.
I sloppily dodged and deflected every one of his attacks.
"You're starting to slow down and your defense is becoming sloppy."
"Well, if my defense is sloppy then that means your offence suck cause you haven't land a hit on me yet."
Daichi got mad. "My offence is incredible kid."
"You wish it was incredible" I said trying to stall for time as I steadily dodged his attacks.
"What did you say?" Daichi's grip on his sword tightened.
"You heard me." I smirked as I pretended to be feeling better.
Daichi ran at me then slung his sword upwards towards my chest. I jumped up and stretched the chain under my feet, using it as a shield. I stopped the attack then flipped backwards, putting some more decent amount of space between us once again. I tightly held my kunai then held the chain. I threw the kunai in the air, grabbed the middle of the chain with both hands and slung it down at Daichi.
"Nice attack, but not good enough to stop me." Daichi said to himself as he just watched the kunai come closer and closer to him.
Daichi took his sword then clashed his blade with mines.
*Hideo, I'm going to attack him and when I do, come at him from the side.* Isamu said as he clawed at Takeo but he dodged it by jumping back.
As soon as Takeo landed, Hideo jumped at him from the side. Takeo blocked Hideo's claw attack with his Yari.
"Damnit Daichi. I wanted to fight that kid." Takeo said as he block another one of Hideo's powerful claw attack.
*Distract him long enough for me to attack him from behind.* Isamu ran past Hideo.
Hideo got in front of Takeo then growled.
"He's growling at me, how cute." Takeo said in a sarcastic tone.
*Now Isamu.* Hideo yelled.
Isamu jumped at Takeo. *It's over.*
Takeo quickly turned around and defended the attack.
*Shit. Do something Hideo.* Isamu jumped back.
When Isamu jumped back, Hideo jumped forward going for a fatal attack. Takeo stepped back then spent around Hideo, knocking him down in the process. Isamu jumped at him again, clawing downwards.
"Not strong enough." Takeo said then blocked the attack.
We just looked at each other. I looked down at my Kunai as the blade disintegrated.
"Damn. My weapon is gone, my head is spinning and my eye sight keeps going in and out."
"You have no weapon." Daichi mocked me.
"So what." I jumped into my fighting stance.
"A hand to hand match. This should be fun." Daichi smirked then threw down his Guntō.
Daichi ran at me then threw a punch. I blocked it with my left arm. He continued to send strikes my way. I blocked and dodged all of his attacks. Daichi jumped up and sent a kick towards my face. It connected and sent me back, flying backwards. I caught myself by putting my hands onto the ground, doing a two handed back flip. Once I was standing up straight I ran at Daichi then slung my right fist towards his face. Daichi ducked then uppercut me in my stomach.
Ino closed her eyes as I fell onto one knee. "I can't watch him get beat up like this." Ino said to herself while closing her eyes.
I then quickly jumped backwards as I seen Daichi's foot coming towards my face. Daichi ran at me sending multiple strike but I dodged them all. The last strike Daichi sent I managed to catch his fist. I quickly threw a kick towards him and it connected with his stomach, sending him back. Daichi stayed standing as he stopped moving from the force of my kick.
"Good, but not good enough!" Daichi yelled as he ran at me.
Takeo slammed his Yari down, almost hitting Isamu. Luckily Hideo knocked Isamu out of the way just in time. Hideo stood a distance in front of Takeo while Isamu stood a distance behind him.
Takeo smirked "This isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be." He said to his self.
Isamu ran at Takeo and clawed at him. As soon as Takeo turned around and blocked the attack, Hideo ran at him then bit down hard on his left leg. (Got him on his calf muscle.)
"Ahh!" Takeo yelled.
Takeo took his Yari then slid it across Hideo's back.
*Ahh!* Hideo whimpered as he fell to the ground bleeding.
"HIDEO!" I yelled as I lost focus on my fight once I heard Hideo whimpering.
*Hideo.* Isamu ran at Takeo.
Takeo walked up to Hideo but backed away as Isamu launched an attack. Isamu bravely stood in front of Hideo, protecting him.
*Run Isamu.* Hideo whimpered.
*I'm not going to leave you behind, Hideo. If I run away, Rae won't forgive me plus you will lose your life. That's not going to happen.* Isamu gave Takeo an ice cold glare.
"You don't look scared. I'm glad you got heart but its time to end this." Takeo ran at them going for one final attack.
"Isamu! Hideo!" I yelled out then punched Daichi, causing him to fly backwards into the wall.
Takeo stared in shock as I stepped in front of Isamu and Hideo. I looked down at Hideo and Isamu with a smile on my face then felt Takeo's Yari go across my back. I fell on one knee then got back up and faced Takeo.
"Why take that kind of risk?" Takeo asked out of concern.
"My friend's life was on the line."
"What if you would have die."
"That was a risk I was willing to take."
"You interest me." Takeo just looked at me then kicked me. "Don't kill him Daichi, I know that Komechi would want to meet him."
As soon as I stumbled backwards from the force of his kick, I felt a sharp pain go across my lower abdomen, from right to left.
"Never let your guard down in a fight." Takeo said then sheathed his weapon.
I fell to my knees then Isamu and Hideo made their way towards me.
*Rae, are you okay.* Isamu whimpered.
*Rae.* Hideo laid his head on my lap.
I smiled. "I'm glad that you two are safe."
*We've failed you master.* Isamu lowered his head in shame.
"Failed. Ha, y'all didn't fail me. I'm proud of you two."
"Is he talking to himself?" Daichi wondered.
"This kid is very interesting." Takeo watched as I communicated with Hideo and Isamu.
*Look at you Rae. We are here to protect you but instead you got hurt by protecting us. We've failed you.*
I gave Isamu a stern look. "Y'all did not fail me Isamu. Just because I got hurt don't mean you two did a bad job. Plus we are here to protect each other not all of y'all protect me. I can't lose you guys. Me backing down to Takeo would have killed the little pride I have left and gotten you two killed. If that would have happened, I wouldn't be able to die in peace."
*Rae.* Hideo and Isamu looked at me.
"Don't worry Hideo, Isamu. I'm fine and you two did great. Now rest." I smiled then secretly removed their slips, putting them back into the box.
"Look, his pets mysteriously disappeared." Daichi laughed then sheathed his Guntō.
I threw the kunai down then fell backwards onto my back. I laid there, not able to move anymore and in pain.
Daichi pulled out some kind of communicator. "Send Shin and Hiroki down to the basement."
"Yes sir." An unknown voice from the communicator said.
"What are you planning Daichi?" Takeo looked at him.
"We got to get this mess cleaned up." Daichi replied.
Shin and Hiroki quickly made their way to the basement. "You wanted to see us." They then bowed down.
"Yes. Shin, get rid of these corpses (referring to Tomio and Guro) then clean up this blood. Hiroki, lock that kid that's laying down on the ground away for now then come back and assist Shin in cleaning." Daichi ordered.
"Yes sir." They yelled in a union.
Daichi and Takeo turned their heels and walked out of the basement. Hiroki grabbed me and harshly pulled my body off the ground.
"Ahh!" I yelled out of pain.
"Shut up." Hiroki said then punched me in my stomach, right on top of my injury.
"He's unconscious now." Shin said as he laughed.
They started walking through the basement with my unconscious body. Ino silently got out of her hiding spot then secretly followed them.
"We should let Komechi kill him, since Daichi and Takeo beat him up." Hiroki looked at Shin.
"Its not like he is going to come all the way down here for that."
"This guy is an intruder, Komechi would love to kill him."
"Yes, but no one knows where Komechi is at."
"Well I'm pretty sure that they will contact one of the 3 main facilities to find him."
"Or he could be on the outskirt but at a different Base." Shin said as he looked down at me.
"How did they die?" Hiroki asked.
"It looks like Tomio died from head trauma, and Guro was stabbed in the gut."
"Oh damn. So, what are you going to do with their corpse?"
"Burn them." Shin smiled.
"Have fun with that." Hiroki yelled as Shin ran off to do his job.
Ino continued to follow Hiroki until he made a stop then threw my body into some room. As Hiroki started back walking Ino walked up to the now closed door I was thrown in.
"Damnit, its locked." She curse to herself.
Ino put her hands into her signature position. "Mind Transfer Jutsu." With that Ino entered Hiroki's mind.
"What's happening? I can't move my body." Hiroki groaned.
As Ino went through his mind she finally found what she was looking for. She returned to her body then killed Hiroki before he could have woke up. Ino entered the pin number 2958 then entered the room, closing the door behind her.
"Rae." She said while running to my aid.
Ino turned my body over so that I was laying on my back. She then removed my vest and tore off my shirt only to be face to face with something serious. I had a deep 3 inch wound that was cut from hip to hip. She hovered her hands over my stomach using her medical nin-jutsu. (He lost to much blood.) Ino said to herself then reached into her pouch and pulled out a needle, thread, some wound cleaning supplies, a couple of gauze, some bandages and a empty unused shot kit. Ino hovered one of her hands over my heart. (His heart beat is fainting.) She said while cleaning my wound as good as she could, stitched the cut up then put some gauze full of healing ointment on top of my stitches. Ino then used my vest as a supportive gear to my stomach as she flipped me over. It won't as deep as the cut on my stomach but it was deep. She cleaned the wound on my back then stitched it up. She then put gauze full of ointment over my back stitches and bandaged me up with an ace bandage. Ino flipped me over again then quickly grabbed the shot and stuck it up in her arm, pulling blood out. Ino stuck the shot inside my vain near my heart so the blood could reach my heart and be pumped throughout my body. After doing that 11-12 more times a grunt left my lips and my body twitched. Ino finished wrapping my body up with the bandages then hovered her hands around my body to make sure I was fine. I cracked open my left eye and seen Ino's hands hovering over my whole upper body.
"I-Ino?" I said in a faint tone.
"Rae." She looked down at me with tears in her eyes. "I'm so glad your okay."
Another grunt left my lips as I tried to get up.
"Don't force yourself." Ino helped me sit up on my knees.
Ino grabbed the back of my head then pulled me into a tight embrace. "Rae?"
I laid my head on her shoulder, up against her neck. "Hm?"
"I'm so glad that you are okay. I was so worried." Ino said while smiling.
I wrapped my arms around Ino's waist causing her blush as I pulled her body closer to mine. A couple of minutes has passed then I lifted my head up and stared into Ino's eyes.
"I love you Ino." I said to myself as I leaned forward.
Ino's blush deepened and her eyes widen as my lips were only an inch away from hers.
"Man down, man down. Hiroki isn't breathing." We heard Shin yell from outside the door.
"Ino we have to get out of here." I said faintly.
"Don't faint Rae, and how are we going to get out of here?"
I started sniffing the air. I have a good sense of smell like the dog nin Kiba (Rae is a cat nin) but my nose is better because I can smell chakra. "There are a lot of people above us and about 6 people outside this door."
Ino looked around desperately looking for an exit.
"The vent." She said to herself as she spotted the huge vent. "I found a way out but your going to have to work with me."
I nodded then followed her into the vent. Ino saftly led us through the vent and, surprisingly we made our way outside.
"Before we exit this vent, do you sense anyone out there?"
I sniffed the air. "No, they all are inside."
Ino jumped out of the vent onto the grass with me following behind her. When I landed on the ground, I fell backwards and hit the wall.
"Be careful Rae." Ino ran to my aid then helped me up.
Out of no where my sense kicked in. I sniffed the air then smirked."Michi, Jiro." I said faintly.
Michi and Jiro ran up to me with a concerned look in their eyes.
*Rae, what happened.* Michi looked at me.
*Are you okay.* Jiro sniffed my bandages.
"I'm fine. Don't worry about it."
*You don't look fine Rae. Who hurt you master.* Michi stood at attention.
*Who did this to you Rae. I promise I'll kill him.* Jiro growled.
"Michi, Jiro." I smiled.
"Awe, they know he's hurt and they're worried." Ino smiled.
"Rest now." I said then removed their slip.
I turned my gaze towards Ino. "Let's get out of here."
Ino nodded then grabbed me and helped me though the dark woods as we made our way back to the town.
"I need some rest." I said faintly.
Ino took us to the closest hotel once we were back in town. We managed to book a room with only one bed. Ino laid me down on the bed and as soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out. Ino laid down beside me and instantly she was sleep.
"Komechi." Takeo calmly said into a ear piece.
"Yes, Takeo."
"We had an intruder inside of the Base near the Midwest region."
"Did you take him out?"
"Yes and no." Daichi jumped into the conversation.
"What do you mean." Komechi got somewhat angry.
"We injured him but didn't kill him." Takeo explained.
"Why didn't you kill him?"
"Because that guy fit the description of the kid you told me about in that story a while back. If you seen the way he fought us, you would have been impressed." Takeo explained further.
"Oh. Really?" Komechi smirked. "So he didn't die that day. I can't wait to see him." He said to his self.
"Yes really. If it wasn't for his pet getting hurt. I think he could have taken Daichi out." Takeo continued to explain with a grin.
"What was that. I broke his weapon. He was useless." Daichi yelled angrily.
"I want to see him." Komechi stated.
"We have him locked up in the Base's jail room."
"Well, I'll be there shortly." Komechi said then disconnected the earpiece.
I don't own Naruto or any characters (other than my ocs)
