The Invasion part 2
Scarlet battled her way through wave after wave of sound and sand ninja alike. Overhead, she heard cries of complaint. Some of the leaf ninja were trying to interfere with the third and Orochimaru's battle. Scarlet tried to concentrate on one ninja, in particular. She summoned the sword card into her hand. Made a few sound and sand ninja kishkabab. And began to fight Kabuto. The leaf traitor removed his AMBU mask. He pushed his glasses, up his nose and smiled at the Cardcaptor.
"well Card captor Scarlet, we meet again" he said
Scarlet got into a battle stance preparing to fight him. Kakashi saw from the stands that Scarlet was fighting someone, he took a closer look and realised it was Kabuto. "oh no" he said
Kabuto's offensive medical ninjutsu came to life. He charged towards the young girl and his hands clashed against Scarlet's sword. The two moved into the arena, which was still empty, after Sasuke and Garra's battle. `Maybe, if I can kill Kabuto. Then he can never help Orochimaru, after his arms, become ineffective.` Scarlet thought. Then another one struck her. One that had been obvious, but she had never thought of. After the Third Hokage dies. Scarlet hesitated, which Kabuto used to his advantage. The medical ninja got a good hit to Scarlet's neck. She gasped out, in pain. Blood escaped her mouth. She fell to the ground. "Scarlet! No!" Kakashi cried, in fright.
The blow was nasty. Kabuto smiled, again. "jeez and I thought you were better than that kid, Shouldn't have let your guard down" he chuckled and prepared to strike her
"Don't give up Scarlet. Where's your spirit of youth?" Scarlet heard Guy's cries. Scarlet eyes flickered open. She was in pain. But she couldn't give up. She had to protect her friends, even if it cost her, her life. That was her ninja way. She stood up, shakily. Kabuto stepped back. His eyes held mild surprise, behind his glasses. "You just won't stay dead, will you?" Kabuto went in for another blow. He was inches away from her Maroon cherry covered head, when an explosion erupted from her body.
At some point, she had secretly called upon the fiery card. Kabuto was knocked away. Now he had full surprise, in his eyes. As a medical ninja and a spy, his eyes and ears didn't miss much. Scarlet looked at Kabuto. The staff of Clow appeared in her hand, she threw up three cards. "Fiery. Windy. Fly! Triple Fusion!"
Scarlet's form came to that of an angel of fire. Her blazed fist stretched out and striked Kabuto. He was knocked backwards. But recovered, quickly. He looked at Scarlet, grudgingly. A trickle of blood, dripped out of his mouth. "This ends here Scarlet." The card captor smiled. "I was thinking the same thing." Kabuto made a hand sign. "Dead soul technique!"
Zombie like moans came from the stands. Scarlet groaned. She had never liked Zombies. The animated dead bodies of the fallen sound, sand and even leaf ninjas crawled out of the stands. They fell down onto Scarlet. The girl gasped for air. She was suffocating, under the weight of the dead bodies. "Ultimate Fire Style: Solar explosion Jutsu!" Kabuto's eyes widened. He had been hit with this attack before, and he didn't want to relive it. The arena exploded with fire. Most of the enemies in the stands had been killed, on the spot. Only a few had survived. Kabuto was one of them. Scarlet passed out, in exhaustion. Kakashi and Guy got her, before she fell. The other jonin could take care of the remaining enemy ninja.
(Somewhere in the hidden sound)
Kabuto gasped. He had just been able to transport to Orochimaru's current base. The explosion would had taken him, if he had stayed a second longer. "That little Bitch..." He muttered, before going unconscious.
Sasuke looked behind him, at the hidden leaf village. A huge golden explosion filled part of the air. Sasuke frowned, worried. "Solar Explosion Jutsu? Scarlet must have been desperate." He was about to turn back, before he remembered something Scarlet had told him. 'Don't let me interfere with your life. If you're doing something, stick to it.' He grinded his teeth, but went after the hidden Sand ninja.
Likewise, Kimi had also recognised the explosion. She was worried for her best friend. She was caught in the more serious part of the war. "Pakkun, how much longer?" She asked. The ninja dog looked back at her, after one sniff in the air. "About 6 metres, and closing in. However." He gave the air another sniff and nodded. "There's a pack of ninja following us." Kimi slapped her head. How could she have forgotten about the pack of ninja following them.
"I'll go hold them off." Kimi and Shika said, at the same time. They looked at each other and smiled. If they were going to die, which Kimi was sure wasn't going to happen, then they were going to die together. Shika and Kimi went back off towards the ninja. Naruto and Sakura looked at each other worried. This was getting really bad. Shino was involved in a fight with Kankuro. And Sasuke was leaving a beaten up Temari, in his dust.
"Nine ninja." Shikamaru looked at Kimi, in confusion. "Excuse me?" Kimi looked around the forest clearing. "There's nine ninja. Eight of them will attack head on. You get them in your shadow possession. There'll be one in the tree. I'll get that one. And then knock out the eight, you captured." Shika still looked confused, he figured Kimi did seem to know things before they happened. Maybe it was some sort of magic she was able to do.
Sure enough, Shikamaru sensed the eight ninja that were approaching. He soon had them all tied up, including the ninth ninja. "Alright. That's them all." Kimi said, clapping her hands. Shikamaru frowned. "Don't you think this was too easy?" Kimi thought for a moment. Maybe. Was what her mind came up with. But that was because she was here, wasn't it? Another thought came over her. Asuma. What had happened to him? He should have followed. A cold laugh made her thought train come to a sudden stop. Behind her was Baki. Kimi jumped out of the way, from his attack. "What are you doing here?" She cried. Baki smiled, evilly.
"Lord Orochimaru was growing suspicious of your powers and that of your friends. When I noticed that you were going after my squad. I decided to follow. I was able to pick up this guy, along the way." He snapped his fingers and, in a puff of smoke, Asuma dropped onto the ground. He was unconscious. Shika growled. He ran towards his Sensei's attacker. Baki rolled his eyes. "Oh please." In his hands, wind starting forming into a shape. A sword. "Blade of Wind Jutsu!" Shika's chest was cut open. Blood sprayed about. Baki looked disappointed. "He's quick and smart." Baki muttered. "He was able to see my attack coming just from my gestures, and then back away just in time, that the attack wasn't fatal."
He huffed and then turned his eyes upon a crying Kimi. "You...BASTARD!" She cried. Darkness floated around her. Baki raised an eyebrow. "Shadow." Kimi cried, revealing a Clow Card that Scarlet had lent her. "Join me and lend me your power! Release and dispell!"
Darkness surrounded Kimi. She wore a black hoodie and ripped leather jeans. Overall, she looked intimidating. Baki made his way to run. "Shadow style: Black Death!" Shadows flew out of Kimi. She was shadow. She wrapped around Baki and suffocated him. He screamed, leaving him even less air. Within seconds, he was gasping for air. His movements stopped. Kimi let her hold over him go. Baki took in the air. He looked at Kimi with a mixture of confusion and thanks. "Why?" He asked, simply. Kimi sighed. "Because you're not a bad person. Listen, we're not the enemy. The Sound has been using you, so that they can destroy the hidden leaf. Orochimaru killed your third Kazekage, so that he could disguise himself as him, and then convinced you that we're going to break the treaty. We're not. And right now, Garra is probably losing control of himself. I want you there to help comfort him, got it?"
Baki stood up and looked at Kimi, friendly. "Thank you. I'm sorry...for all of this." Kimi dismissed his apology, with a wave of her hand. Baki took off. Kimi dismissed the shadow's powers. She brought Asuma next to Shikamaru, who she had bandaged up. Kimi lay down, between the two of them, watching the clouds go by. "K-Kimi" she heard Shika's voice whisper, she turned her head to him "it's all gonna be fine now Shika, go to sleep I'll be right here" she smiled, He nodded and dozed off holding Kimi's hand. She sighed and began waiting for Naruto to teach Garra the true meaning of love.
