Still own nothing.
I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting. I've been having a hard time finding the words to write this chapter. I had what I wanted to happen in my head, but it was trying to transfer it into words and type.
Trust Me
(Yoruichi)
"Follow my lead." he said.
I looked at Kakashi. My head was pounding in pain from coming out of the genjutsu. I couldn't read too much of what he was thinking, but I knew he had something in mind. He wrapped his arms around me and we vanished.
"Kyokkō." I whispered.
We appeared on top of the hideout and we could see everyone fighting. Kisuke managed to eliminate the hollows, as they appeared, with ease. I smirked when I heard Benihime screamed through the air. Hizashi was keeping Tobi busy; Iruka was trying to stay a ways away from Zetsu.
"I'm not sure what their plan is besides eliminating me." Kakashi said.
"That much I figured out when he was holding me hostage." I said. "So, what do you have in mind?"
"I was thinking more of trying to immobilized them for the time being."
"What good will that do?"
"Give us a chance to get out of here. I don't want any of us killed. Besides, it would give us a chance to get back to Konoha and to go over what we know."
I looked at him and saw his concern. I wanted to eliminate Tobi, but since that hasn't been done already, I knew there was something else.
"Yoruichi, trust me."
My eyes went wide when I heard those words. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled his mask down.
"Kashi, I trust you."
The kiss was demanding. He pulled away from me and I released the kidō spell before he disappeared. I focused my attention back to the fight. Kakashi had managed to switch spots with Hizashi. I shunpo over to Hizashi to make sure he was all right. He looked worn out.
I wanted to help Kakashi, but I didn't want to get in the way of his plan.
Think. I scolded myself.
Think.
Think.
I watched as Kakashi and Tobi fought. I noticed something off while they were fighting. It almost seemed like Tobi was hesitating a bit and not wanting to get too close to Kakashi.
Wait a minute!
I noticed that Kakashi had activated his chidori. I watched Tobi and saw my chance. I pulled out the kunai I had picked up from earlier. I flung it in the direction of Tobi's head. I watched it as it connected with the edge of his mask, cracking it.
"What the?"
Tobi turned his head towards me as I smirked.
"Bakudō 63: Sajo Sabaku." I whispered.
I watched as the energy chains wrapped around Tobi, pining his arms to his side. Kakashi's chidori hit Tobi square in the chest, sending him flying back. Zetsu disappeared from Iruka and caught Tobi before he crashed. We watched as Tobi struggled against the chains.
"Zetsu, let's go. We're wasting too much time." Tobi said. "Until next time Kakashi."
They vanished with the smoke, leaving the rest of us to look at each other confused.
"What was that about?" Iruka asked.
"No idea."
"We should hurry back before something else happens." Hizashi said.
"Something tells me, that this isn't the last time we will see him." Kakashi said.
We all nodded in agreement as we left.
Next morning
Yua woke up to see Takeshi starring at her. She gave him a faint smile. He pulled her into him. She took his hand, intertwining their fingers together. He gave her hand a squeeze causing her to giggle.
"No matter what happens, or how long it takes, I will find a way back to you. Remember that I love you." he whispered as he closed his eyes.
"Oh Keshi." she whispered.
Yua lifted her head, hoping to see the emotion in his eyes. She started to panic when she saw his eyes closed and his hand slipped away from hers.
"Takeshi?"
Yua shook him gently as the medic came over to look him over. She watched the medic intently with tears forming in her eyes. The medic looked at her and shook his head.
"Takeshi!"
Days later
We reached Konoha without any more trouble. The guys had filled me in on what I missed during the fight. I felt better when the pounding in my head slowly left me after a day. I couldn't get over the fact that it felt like I was in a hypnotic state for a short time. It was the oddest sensation and I didn't want to encounter it again.
When we reached Minato's office, we had a lot of information to tell him about Tobi and Zetsu. He watched intensely as we each told him what happened. I noticed the concerned look on his face when we finished. Minato did agree with us on a few things: we weren't sure of what Tobi was up to, if it really had anything to do with Kakashi or when he'll be back.
Later on
After we had said goodbye to Minato, Hizashi and Iruka, Kisuke and I joined Kakashi at Ichiruka's for dinner.
"You know Yoruichi, we're going to have to head back soon." Kisuke reminded me.
"I know, but I don't want to." I sighed.
I glanced at Kakashi when he started to rub my back.
"Don't worry, you'll see me sooner than you think."
I tilted my head at him. I was curious to what he meant. We sat in silence for a while longer. Kisuke tapped my shoulder and motioned for me to follow. I knew he was going to drag me back to the squad.
I held onto Kakashi's hand as he walked us to the edge of the village.
"Be safe." I told him.
"You as well." he said as he hugged me and handed my haori back.
It was nice to have to back as I pulled it on.
"Come on Yoruichi." Kisuke called out.
I turned to see that he had the senkaimon opened. Kakashi let go of my hand and gave me a gentle push.
"Don't worry." he said.
I nodded as I turned and followed Kisuke into the senkaimon.
I think Tobi will appear again... just not telling when.
Please review.
