WannaBeNinja If it wasn't for her finding what creature Kohta should be, well this chappie would have taken a hell of a lot longer.

InARealPickle Thank you for your words too, it's good to know that there is so much support for my sis out there, and as I said in my AN chappie, she had a little girl 8 weeks early, but bub and mum are fine.
You guys have all been sooo understanding, thank you.
In this chappie we discover what Kohta is, sadly when I first came up with the idea for Tenshi and the eight tails, we didn't know what creature the eight tails was, well now I know and I am changing it, sorry but the creature that is the real eight tails doesn't fit and is really gay. I would be pissed if that was my eight tails.
So Kohta is now more AU then before.
Sorry again but no, I'm not making Kohta a...
Recap:
She picked Kakashi up again and fled off into the night.
Itachi chased her.
She hid once more in the tree tops, but she knew it wouldn't be long before he came for her.
Tenshi disappeared deep within herself 'Kohta? Kohta?'
'What?'
'It's time.'
A pair of red eyes looked out of a locked gate; Tenshi stood in front of the gate and opened it slightly.
The beast within let out a laugh 'Time to play.'
BEGIN:
Tenshi's heart thumped within her chest, it had been nearly a year since she and Kohta had last merged, it wasn't going to be easy and it wasn't the safest thing to do, but it was the only choice left to her. If Kohta hadn't lent her some of his chakra before, she would have never had the strength to lift Kakashi and rush off.
The cage slid open and eight pairs of red eyes glowed in the darkness, Tenshi bowed her head reverently and waited for the creature to slither out. Eight heads appeared in the darkness they were followed by a large yet lean body, his belly was bloody and seemed inflamed, eight tails followed. Tenshi looked up and smiled "Kohta, it's been far too long."
The snake like creature looked at her, each mouth expanding into a macabre smirk "Has the young one missed me perhaps?"
Tenshi rolled her eyes "I see the solitude hasn't changed you at all, still as arrogant as always."
He stretched out to his full height, forcing her to crane her neck high "I am the one and only Yamata no Orochi, show some respect whelp." He hissed softly at her, showing that even though they shared an intimate bond, he was still a demon.
Tenshi sighed softly to herself and inclined her head "My apologies Kohta, you are right, I was being disrespectful." She lowered her eyes and crossed her palms in front of her hips "I beg your forgiveness."
The demon let out an amused laugh, the sound sent shivers through her body, it was like nails down a chalk board. She had forgotten how much he enjoyed her discomfort, yet another reminder that he was still an evil entity.
One of his many tails reached into the cage and brought something out, it seemed to shimmer in the darkness and the very air itself seemed to tremble and radiate with energy.
Tenshi drew in a sharp breath and whispered reverently "Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, the Herb-Quelling Great Sword."
Kohta's tail extended towards her and she slowly reached out a hand "But I thought this was just a legend?"
"Do not all legends have a grain of truth within?"
She ran her hand over the top, the hairs on her arm seemed to stand up on end, she took a deep trembling breath and wrapped her hand around its hilt, she lifted it high into the air and let out a mummer of surprise "It's so light."
His eyes seemed to glow with amusement "Of course, how much do you think energy and chakra weigh?"
Her eyes locked onto his "This is made from chakra?"
"And energy."
She looked down at the shinning sword once more; her face broke out into a wide yet malicious grin "I think it's time we played my friend."
Kohta let out a laugh, the whelp was back and her darkness spreading once more. It was indeed time to play.

Kakashi opened his eyes slowly and looked over, Tenshi sat crouched next to him, he could see in her eyes that she wasn't with him anymore; she was somewhere deep inside herself. He just hoped wherever she was it was somewhere safe, then she grinned, an almost evil grin. He cursed his weakness and shakily pushed himself up, his arms trembling with the effort.
A pair of feet landed soundlessly in front of him, he didn't dare to look up, and he knew that Itachi wanted to leave, the longer he spent toying with them the higher his chances of discovery were.
Kakashi called upon the remains of his energy and reached down for his kunai, he pulled it quickly out and stabbed the branch, he wasn't fast enough.
Itachi appeared in front of Tenshi and bent to pick her up.
Her eyes snapped open, they had changed from deep violet to a crimson red, and the pupil had turned into a slit. She laughed softly and the air around her changed into the deep red of her now overflowing chakra. She moved so quickly that neither Kakashi nor Itachi could see her. She appeared behind Itachi and swung out her fist, he jumped back but her chakra seemed to grow into long snakelike bodies, it chased Itachi back and lashed out at him, she laughed once more, a deep inhuman laugh.
Itachi looked up and smiled softly "So it seems I get the pleasure of discovering first hand what the eight tails can do." He signed quickly and created shadow clones.
Her eyes seemed to darken and she lifted her hands, the snakelike chakra separated into eight parts, each a small serpent of chakra. They struck out at the clones and bit down on them, the clones all vanished and she turned around slowly, calling "Come out, come out wherever you are."
Kakashi trembled softly, fighting the urge to lie down and close his eyes to let the darkness overcome him "Tenshi" he whispered "Where is Tenshi?"
The creature in her body turned its eyes to him and walked over, it crouched down and looked at him "The whelp is resting while I play, I could kill you now and you couldn't stop me. It saddens me the whelp chose such a weak mate."
Kakashi attempted to get up, to defend himself. The creature pushed him back down and he looked up, the eyes were violet once more "Tenshi" he muttered.
She ran a finger lightly down his face "its okay Kakashi, you get some rest my love, Kohta will take care of things for us. But I need you to stay out of trouble and out of the way" she bent down and whispered softly "Kohta and I can only do this for so long before my body gives up, I will be relying on you then."
He looked at her and slowly nodded, her eyes changed back to red and she stood slowly up. She held out her hand and chakra filled it, surrounded it.
Itachi jumped up behind her, she turned and Kakashi stared in amazement as a sword now rested in her hand.
She swung it with a deadly intent and jumped after him when he dodged her attack.
/
She stood in the middle of the forest and looked around, the sky was black and only a few stars had come out to light, the moon was hidden behind clouds and trees surrounded her. She turned and swung out her sword; the blade caught and threw away the kunai's that had been aimed at her. The forest was quiet once more, not even the animals made a noise, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of her breathing, she closed her eyes and focused. Jumping up into a tree on her right she swung out and smiled slightly at the sight of a drop of blood "Getting slower now are we?" she mocked.
Itachi looked down at the cut in his coat and was loathed to admit he was impressed by her last attack; she had only just missed him. Looking up at the sky he decided that the time for play was over, he had to get serious now.

She stood in one place with her eyes closed, her body relaxed and waiting; she absorbed the sounds around her and smiled softly when she found one that was out of place.
Itachi appeared behind her and started to make his hand signs, before he could finish he landed on a snare and jumped back, weapons flew at him from all angles. He pulled out six kunai and threw them at the weapons, he dodged the others. When he looked up Tenshi was no where to be seen, he turned quickly and jumped back as she swung her sword, he miscalculated what the sword could do.
She swung out at him and when he jumped back she used the chakra to extend the blade, he tried to dodge but she had planned for that, before he could move up the tree she changed the direction of the blade and swung it down, he jumped back and she once more switched directions.
He jumped back just in time to miss a fatal blow to his body, as it was the blade of chakra sliced across his chest, slicing it in a clean thin line, blood welled and slowly trickled down his body.
He had another plan to get her, time was now very short and he was tempting fate far too much.
He disappeared again and she jumped up to follow him, she took in a sharp breath when she saw where he was headed "Kohta? I need you to come out for this one, this is our last shot, and after this my body is done."
"I know" came the reply "I can feel your weakness and trembling whelp. Time for me to play."

Itachi looked over and calculated he was two jumps away from his target, he reached down and grabbed his weapon, opening it he threw his windmill shuriken.
Tenshi jumped down in front of the shuriken and caught it in one hand, after a quick look to make sure Kakashi's still form was alright she gave herself over to Kohta.
Itachi frowned for a split second before schooling his features, Tenshi was doing something, her body was shifting and changing, it was stretching out and it seemed to be separating. He realized that this must be the form of the eight tails. The girl was being possessed by the demon, that could mean bad things for his plans. He had to stop the change and do it right then.
He jumped towards the creature and called forth his Mangekyo Sharingan, activating them he then called forth his Amaterasu, he sent the black flames towards the tails, it struck the one on the furthest right and the creature let out a deep growl of pain before regrowing the limb, the flames hit the branch and the wood started blazing before letting out a loud CRACK and breaking away from the trunk, the creature and Kakashi fell towards the earth.
He was too late, the change was complete and the creature wrapped four of its tails around the branch of an opposite tree, two other tails reached down and grabbed Kakashi before he hit the ground, it placed him gently on another tree, resting him in the branches before turning to attack.
Itachi jumped away and called the black flames again, the creature was surprisingly agile and dodged the flames, one of its eight heads struck out and the fangs pierced his leg. Blood spurted and ran.
The creature struck again, this time Itachi managed to dodge the fangs and jump back, he mentally cursed and knew he was out of his league, he couldn't get close to the creature let alone capture it. He knew what he had to do even though it pained him slightly.
Kakashi let out a groan and looked over, his eyes slowly adjusting, his breath hissed out when he realized what he was watching.
Itachi looked over and jumped back from the creature's powerful tail, he glanced once more at the creature before turning to Kakashi "Tonight is not the night, but we will be back for the creature and next time we will get it."
He disappeared.
Kakashi looked over at the creature Tenshi had become and let out a shaky breath.
The creature growled once before its tails wrapped around the branch Kakashi was on, it sat down and slowly returned to Tenshi's form.
When the change was complete she looked at him and smiled slowly "Did we win?"
He grimaced in pain and sat up, reaching out for her, he took her hand and nodded "We won."
She sighed softly and mumbled "Good." Before she fell into the darkness that called to her.
Kakashi caught her as she collapsed and pulled her body up to his, she wasn't badly wounded, for which he was grateful, he lent back against the tree and hissed out a breath at the pain in his back from the earlier kunai wound. He closed his eyes and let the darkness take him.

Itachi appeared next to the body of Kisame and looked up at Zetsu; he nodded once to him and lifted Kisame onto his shoulder.
Jiraiya looked down "Itachi Uchiha."
Itachi nodded once "As I told the copy ninja, we will be back." With that he disappeared, taking his partner and friend with him.
Jiraiya turned in time to see Zetsu sink into the ground. He looked over at the scared woman sitting in the tree and cursed. He had to get her to safety first, and then he would find Kakashi and Tenshi.

Jiraiya found them both in the tree, Kakashi had one arm wrapped protectively around Tenshi's waist and the other was resting on his weapons holster.
Jiraiya stood up and yelled out "They're over here."
Five medi-nin's appeared and bent down over the two, Kakashi's arm rose and he struck out with a kunai.
Jiraiya grabbed his arm and looked down "You're safe now, they're gone."
Kakashi's arm relaxed and Jiraiya nodded to the medi-nin's to take them to the hospital.

Once again another short chappie, sorry but hey it's 5:30am, I haven't been to bed yet and the kids are starting to stir so I have to rush off the comp for about an hours sleep before I deal with the demons- I mean angels.
Don't know when I'll get another chance at the comp, so hopefully this ties you all over for a bit. Review welcomed and very much loved.
