Chapter 19 (Kakashi POV)
These Sound Nin are a lot better trained than the ones sent to attack Konoha from awhile back. Suzuki and I were standing back to back, fighting together for one purpose: to find and bring Saiya home.
I don't know how long we've been fighting, but I was running dangerously low on chakra. These ninja kept on coming.
I heard a faint yell; I couldn't tell if it was Saiya or not. I had to stay positive.
I could feel Suzuki slowing down as well. I saw someone enter the room of battle through the shadows out of the corner of my eyes, only to see them fall about 10 seconds later. A split second later I realized it was Saiya.
"Suzuki! I think that's Saiya!" I said quietly enough so Suzuki could hear me.
Just the sight of her, on the ground bleeding and unconscious, gave me a burst of adrenaline. I felt Suzuki speed up as well. But more Sound Ninja came and blocked our path to get to her.
"Kakashi, the CopyCat Ninja," I heard Orochimaru's voice ring throughout the hall. "You and your partner have fought well. Join me, and I'll spare you."
The Sound nin had stopped attacking, but Suzuki and I stayed on our guard.
"So boys, what will it be?" Orochimaru asked, coming out of the shadows. "Stay and become my minions, or die here and now?"
"I'll never join you," Suzuki said boldly.
(Saiya POV)
'Ouch, my head hurts,' I thought and I winced. 'What the hell is going on?'
I remembered seeing Kakashi and Suzuki fighting hordes of ninja and I think I blacked out. The bleeding on my hands and feet had finally stopped but there were little pools of blood where my hands were. I managed to raise myself up to see Orochimaru smiling his smile; Kakashi and Suzuki were surrounded by ninja.
"I'll never join you," I heard Suzuki say.
"No! Leave!" I yelled desperately.
Everyone turned to look at me, and one of the sound ninja just stood there gawking "Didn't you just pass out?"
I growled, struggled to my feet and pointed at Orochimaru.
"You…I'm going to kill you!" I shouted and started running toward him.
I lit my hands up. Some sound ninja got in the way, but I quickly pushed them away. Orochimaru made no move to dodge my attack. Instead of landing my punch, Orochimaru grabbed my wrist and pulled me close to him.
"Resorting to violence already?" he whispered into my ear, one arm around my waist.
"Get your hands off me!" I tried to pull away but Orochimaru just tightened his grip around my wrist and waist; the pressure caused my wrist to start bleeding again.
I winced in pain.
"Does it hurt my love?" he whispered in my ear. "Don't worry; I'll make it all better."
He moved his mouth to mine, but like every time, I bit his tongue. I didn't let go until I tasted blood. He let out an agonized scream and pushed me away. I fell to the ground and bit my lip to prevent my scream of pain from escaping.
I wanted to cry; I didn't want to be here. I just want to go home, curl up in bed, and cry. I struggled to my feet again and looked at Orochimaru. Blood was coming out of his mouth and he was in pain I could tell.
"Attack!" Orochimaru screamed. "Do not kill the girl! But you can kill the others!"
Kakashi and Suzuki started fighting again with the sound ninja. I tried to join them but I was cut off by enemy ninja blocking my path. I guess I'd have to kill Orochimaru another day.
"We don't want to hurt you anymore than you are, so I suggest you come quietly," one of the ninja said to me.
"Come quietly my ass!" I yelled. "And what? Be molested by snake boy and his lover again? I don't think so."
I shot some fireballs at them, but they just dodged.
"Is that all you got?" the same ninja taunted.
"Oh no, I was just warming up," I said, smiling as creepily as I could.
I was on my last reserves; I did some seals and performed a jutsu that only I could make.
'Fire Rain Jutsu!'
Suddenly, there was a ring of fire around me. I threw my hands up and all the ninja stopped and watched with awe. The fire rose up toward the ceiling and turned into brown clouds. Their faces held looks of terror and wonder. The clouds stayed over our heads, and then suddenly, it started raining fire (hence the name of the jutsu). It burned the sound ninja alive. For the next five minutes, all you could hear were the agonized screams of the dying ninja.
After it had stopped "raining," the ninja that had me surrounded were now just charred bodies on the ground. The remaining ninja were standing there dumbfounded. I took that opportunity to kill them with my signature fire.
The ones who had managed to survive ran off like little puppies with their tails between their legs. I watched them to with an evil and creepy smile on my face.
I can't believe this jutsu worked! It was just practice, but it worked.
I smiled at Kakashi and Suzuki, but they looked at me with wide eyes.
"What?" I asked innocently.
"Where did you learn that?" Suzuki said amazed.
"I created it myself," I said slowly. "My bloodline trait allows me to do many…umm...creative and deadly things."
Before I knew what was happening, I felt arms closing around me. I felt warm and sage and I wrapped my arms around that person. I looked up to see Kakashi.
"I thought you were dead," he whispered. "I don't know what I'd do without you."
"We have to get out of here," Suzuki said. "Before Orochimaru gets back."
Kakashi picked me up bridal style and I saw a jealous look cross Suzuki's face. I completely forgot to tell Suzuki about my relationship with Kakashi. Suzuki and Kakashi both teleported out of Orochimaru's base. We arrived in a forested area.
"Where are we?" Suzuki said, looking around.
