Hi guys I'm back, how did you like the previous chapter? Lots of fighting right? Well this chapters going to be the same but not with so many people fighting. It's one on one, so sit back and enjoy.
The Six Kages and their bodyguards sat in the now destroyed meeting room discussing about the battle they fought two days ago.
"This proves it, that Uchiha has gone too far, he sent half an army to kill us all" cried Onoki.
"I agree Sasuke has gone too far this time" said Kimiko.
"This is beyond reason" said A.
"We can't go on protecting him anymore, it's all thanks to god's grace that we are all alive and able to speak to each other now" said Mei.
Tsunade and Gaara exchanged looks and Tsunade sighed in defeat.
"Very Well, I agree the last attack was a bit too much" said Tsunade.
"Pardon me Tsunade-Sama but that's just ridiculous" said Kakashi coming and apologizing to the other kages for interrupting.
"I was Sasuke's teacher once and I know how his mind works, there is no possible way he meant that attack to kill us, if he wanted to could have made it much more difficult for us, it's possible he's just testing our capacities" said Kakashi in a pleading tone.
"So what you are trying to tell us is that Sasuke Uchiha has been trying to test us?" asked Kimiko, with her eyes invisible due to her dark locks of hair.
"That's pretty much it" said Kakashi.
The temperature might have dropped twenty degrees.
Then Kimiko lifted her head and everyone gaped at her. She had such a dark look in her eyes that even Gaara would pale in her comparison.
"So he is playing a game with us is he?" she asked in a voice that might have said, "I'll kill you and cut you into pieces"
"Well," said Kakashi beginning to get uncomfortable. All the guards had now been alerted and stood ready with their weapons.
Deidara stared at her and then pressed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
She seemed to suddenly break out of the murderous trance and look up in surprise.
"Wow, I have no idea why I did that" she laughed nervously.
Everyone sighed with relief but Deidara gave Kimiko a long glance, what had caused her to go into that dark mode.
Then suddenly something clicked and a long katana suddenly appeared from nowhere and cleanly sliced Kimiko's chest.
"Kimiko, noooo, "cried Deidara as he watched his love fall before his eyes when he noticed she wasn't bleeding. Apparently everyone but the attacker had realized.
"Who's there? "Cried A.
"Do you really want to know?" came a voice.
A face emerged from the ground only till the base of the neck.
It was the face of a young girl, with black hair and gray eyes.
The whole figure sank above from the ground. It was a young girl, of about twelve. She wore a long pant with a shinobi vest and a Tsukigakure headband slashed out.
"I am Mika, Mika Tsukiga" she announced clearly.
Suddenly a calm voice came from behind her, "That cannot be true, the Tsukiga clan was wiped out save me"
Mika turned and looked at Kimiko in shock.
"B-but I killed you" she spluttered looking at the body which suddenly disappeared in a flash of light.
"I happen to specialize in illusions, now tell me, why do you lie?" asked Kimiko not appearing perturbed at all.
"I do not lie, my mother was Akane Tsukiga" shouted Miko.
Now Kimiko face showed some surprise, "Akane Tsukiga? I have never heard of her before. What is this tale you spin before me?"Asked Kimiko.
"I tell you it isn't a tale, the day the Uchiha's attacked Tsukigakure your great grandmother was not the only one who fled. My great-grandfather, Keichi Tsukiga was in exile at that point, so he was not in Tsukigakure and he was not killed, till only three years ago I was ignorant of you existence, my sister" finished Miko with a leer.
When everyone except Kimiko seemed shocked Miko let out an irritated snarl, "Grrrrr, why won't you freeze with shock sister? Why don't you even seemed surprised?" She yelled charging at Kimiko with three katanas.
Kimiko merely dodged all her attacks with no effort and sometimes dealt out a punch of her own.
"Why aren't you fighting me properly? Why won't you shake with fear?" yelled Miko.
"Because I don't shake with fear when battling puppets," said Kimiko coldly.
Immediately thirty Mikos rose out of the ground. Immediately Deidara and Ichijo rushed forwards.
"Stop, Please Deidara, I want to battle this one out on my own" said Kimiko.
"But there's so many of them" argued Deidara.
Kimiko gave him a smile, "Don't worry, I can take care of myself"
Then she turned the other way as the others retreated some way back.
"I will not fight you seriously unless you show yourself to me" said Kimiko.
"Nice try but that's not happening" said one of the puppets shooting needles at Kimiko which seemed to be poisoned.
Kimiko easily deflected them with a wave of wind but instead of falling down uselessly they embedded themselves back into the puppet's arm sockets.
"A magnetic effect eh? Good job" said Kimiko, "Tsukigan" she said suddenly blowing a sharp wave of wind over to the puppets that neatly jumped up and dodged it.
"Your reflexes are good as well" said Kimiko.
Suddenly ten of the puppets surrounded her, their arms and legs turned into blades and katanas and they began a swiping match with Kimiko who began dodging them.
"Quit dodging, your not taking this seriously, "said one of the puppets again.
"I have already mentioned to you that I shall not be taking this fight seriously till you show yourself.
To everyone's surprise there came a silent "Very well then" from somewhere.
One of the puppets blasted of and from under where it stood a girl emerged. She looked very much similar to the puppets except that she was much darker.
"Ah! So you are Miko Tsukiga, but tell me something, why do you aid the descendant of him who destroyed our entire clan, instead of aiding your own cousin?" asked Kimiko.
One of the puppets swung at her and she neatly dodged it once again.
Then Miko charged forwards with four puppets by her side, "It is because he knows the pain of being betrayed by an elder sibling" said Miko using the puppets to create a taijutsu combo.
"Steel Release: Impervious Amour Double" said Kimiko turning her arms into sharp blades of steel.
"Oh! I see you have mastered the deepest jutsu's of Tsukiga's haven't you?" questioned Miko as Kimiko sliced one of the puppets into pieces.
"Yes I have, but no doubt you are no less, but a fight with thirty-against one hardly seems fair to me" said Kimiko.
"Oh but it's perfectly fair, you use your skills and I'll use mine, fair and unfair be damned" said Miko smiling in a twisted way.
"Very well since you have put it that way" said Kimiko as smoke bombs exploded around her and she jumped up and summoned Jiro halfway in the air.
"Ha! You think I wasn't prepared for that?" shouted Miko as one of her puppets sprouted metal wings and grabbed Miko in a controller's seat before taking off.
Everyone watched as the two Tsukiga's faced of against each other.
"Fire Release: Toad Oil Bath Jutsu" cried Miko using the powerful oil-fire technique.
"Water Release: Great Excavation Jutsu" cried Kimiko raising one hand which at first pulsed with blue ckakra then shot a huge jet of water to clash with the incoming fire.
"Is that all you've got? How pathetic" sneered Miko as her liquid fire began to surge forwards.
"Oh but I haven't even finished the jutsu" said Kimiko raising her other hand through which lightning shot forward and electrified the water.
"Behold my Discharge Lightning Calamity Technique" said Kimiko as her water began giving of dangerous sparks.
"What use is that if it can hit me?" yelled Miko.
"Have you forgotten? Lightning can be used to sharpen the element and change its shape" said Kimiko as the electrified water suddenly started spinning like a drill and piercing through the oil-fire.
"What the?" Cried Miko as her flames disappeared and the piercing sharp water headed towards her.
As it neared her Miko hurriedly performed a hand seal and summoned a huge round puppet which acted as a shield for her but the moment the wood on the puppet touched the water it blasted apart, but inside it was covered with foam padding, clothe, wool and all kind of insulating material.
The water couldn't piece through it and the technique vanished as the useless puppet fell to the floor.
"Very good" said Kimiko. Suddenly a puppet with lots of knobs and blades grabbed her from behind. It held it's blade in such a position that if Kimiko tried to move or perform a jutsu her hand would be sliced off immediately.
"I know it's the real you this time, you let your guard down way too much Kimiko" said Miko flying in front of her.
"And now, for the final touch, Tsukigan" said Miko as a much smaller third eye opened. But it wasn't on her forehead; it was vertical between her two eyes, it looked very freaky.
"Oh my, what a surprise" said Kimiko.
"Don't give me that, your life is about to end, don't you feel even a little scared?" the last part was almost a plea.
"My dear sister, I have no intention of dieing now, my people depend on me, Dei-Kun and all the others depend on me, I must be a good kage to them, I'm just sorry that I never got to know you, but it's not too late you know, if you relent now we may have a wonderful life together" said Kimiko in a kind and sincere voice.
At first Miko's blade dropped but them she spoke, "Who are you kidding? You don't understand half the things I've gone through, why should I join you? So that you and your little kage pals can throw me into prison and laugh at the little immature lass? No, I will kill you here today, I will kill Kimiko Tsukiga today" said Miko as she swung her blade forwards.
As she sliced who she thought was Kimiko the world around Miko started distorting, it was as if everything was disintegrating, then suddenly everything reformed and Miko found herself stabbing the puppet she thought had been holding Kimiko.
In shock Miko seemed paralyzed.
Suddenly seven blasts of smoke brought her back to life. The Seven Demons of Apocalypse surrounded her with their arms linked.
Then she saw Kimiko, standing on Jiro.
"W-w-what did y-you d-do?" stuttered Miko.
"I told you when we met at the very beginning, I specialize in illusions, while you where busy summoning that fat puppet I used my distortion Degeneration Technique on you, "said Kimiko.
Miko seemed at a loss for wards when the seven demons shifted their positions and surrounded her like a star. Then a red light shot out of the fourteen hands intertwining and crossing forming a complex cage which if touched would disintegrate with its contents immediately.
" The game is over Miko, I win" said Kimiko as her three eyes and the fourteen eyes of the demons glowed red and the cage gave of a menacing aura.
Fear filled everyone who watched the battle. Bad spirits loomed over the place and a scream could be heard from somewhere.
Suddenly there was a burst of red light and the demons disappeared as did the cage.
The puppet Miko was flying on disappeared and Miko started falling.
Like with Gaara Kimiko used her silver shield technique to save her sister from suffering a ghastly death as the ground below was littered with sharp and dangerous puppet pieces.
Just then a huge wave of chakra passed through everyone and they saw Sensou and an unknown tall young man in a sleeveless flak jacket and brown pants appear above Miko.
The man picked her up and swung her over his shoulder while Sensou teleported them away.
All this happened in a mere five seconds so not even the quick Kimiko had a moment to react.
Kimiko flew down from Jiro as Deidara ran up to her, "Are you hurt anywhere? Is it ok, hm?"He asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm fine" said Kimiko giving his hand a big squeeze.
Mei ran forwards and hugged her.
"When she swung that blade at you I nearly fainted" she told Kimiko.
"Don't worry, I'm fine" Kimiko assured her former teacher.
"Why didn't you kill her or at least capture her?" Asked Onoki.
"I didn't kill her because I thought she could be of use to us, and I didn't catch her for the same reason you didn't, she was taken away much to fast" said Kimiko in a voice that clearly said, "Get the hell lost!"
Kimiko looked at Tsunade who gave her an understanding look.
Tsunade knew only too well that Kimiko easily have captured Miko if she wanted to.
" Now I understand how and why Naruto feels so strongly for Sasuke, I think I may understand the bond between them now, Miko, don't worry, I won't let you fall to the darkness" thought Kimiko as Mei hustled her inside.
Well that's it for now. Whew it takes lot of energy to write such a long fight scene, especially in my case where I write it in an hour. Anyways, see you next time.
