Time for a new Chapter. I hope you don't mind the completely different system introduction last time. This isn't gonna be like your traditional style of Chakra too. More will be explained coming up. So I hope you can enjoy the Chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Senran Kagura series, I do own the plot, while my beta owns a few ideas.
Warning: Same as before, strong sexual content, and violence and cursing. That's about the just of it this time.
Chapter 11: Naraku
We had finally arrived at Kat's House when we saw both Hibari and Ikaruga talking to each other. I pointed them both out when a thought occurred to me, "Look, there's a teacher! Maybe she knows about this power that Yagyu used on us."
Kat scratched her chin in thought, "It wouldn't hurt to ask. Let's hope we can use my house too." She crossed her arms with a pout, "I mean, it is my house, they have no right to deny us access."
We went to approach, and as we did Ikaruga saw us and gave us a wide-eyed look, like she didn't expect to see us so soon, "Mikagura, Kobayashi, Igarashi? Don't tell me that you three already passed?" She craned her neck in several directions to look for our nonexisting flags.
Kat shook her head, "We haven't found a flag yet. We do have a question for you." She hugged her arms close to her chest, "It's… kinda important."
Ikaruga's brow furrowed in worry, "What is it?"
Kat just cut right to the chase like a hot knife to butter, "Ikaruga-Sensei, what is Chakra?"
Both shinobi tensed up and they both gave us looks that told me we said something we shouldn't have. They exchanged glances and Ikaruga was the first to speak, "Where did you hear that term?" Ikaruga's voice sounded dark, the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end.
I nervously twirled my hair around my finger, "What's the matter? Did Kat say something wrong?"
Hibari regained her composure and cleared her throat, "Girl's, I don't know where you heard about Chakra, but I suggest you forget about it."
Minori tilted her head in confusion, "Why?"
Ikaruga folds her arms across her chest, "Cause chakra use is strictly forbidden. Only criminals end up using such means."
Kat's mouth hung agape as she listened, "Forbidden? What makes it forbidden?"
Hibari put her arms behind her back, "It's cause of how it is extracted. Take our word for it though, you don't want to know how it is extracted."
Kat and I didn't say anything anymore. The tension in the air was enough to keep us silent. But leave it to Minori to be completely oblivious, "You mean how it gets taken out of the boobies?"
Both Hibari and Ikaruga got even more serious looks like we're pressing a button we shouldn't have. Ikaruga was the first to speak, "How much do you three know? Knowledge like that isn't taught in our classes at all."
All three of us looked away. If we told the truth then Kat wouldn't be able to fight Yagyu, but in the long run, we may get in trouble, "We… found an old book the other day. It was mostly faded, but we saw some words like chakra and a few lines on extractions and it talked about the breasts. We mostly just connected the dots but nothing made much sense."
Hibari puts a hand to her head, rubbing her temple as her stress levels increased, "Well, in any case, you three now know of Chakra. Side note, it gets sucked out through the nipples. You don't even need breasts in order to have chakra."
Wait, they don't? Then that means-, "So guys can have chakra too?"
Ikaruga suppressed a giggle, "Well, yeah, but in smaller quantities."
Hibari scratched her cheek awkwardly as if this was almost as painful as it was embarrassing to say to students, "Kunoichi can store up to about a liter of chakra within their body."
My jaw almost dropped, "S-seriously?! A whole liter?!"
Minori then added more to my thought, "How? Where does it all go?"
Ikaruga looks away, as if uncomfortable answering this next question, "Ever wonder why a Kunoichi's breasts get bigger than a female civilian's?"
Kat quickly put two and two together, "So you're saying chakra gets stored in our boobs? And not just sucked out through there?"
Hibari nodded to Kat's question, "Correct. Chakra gets made up from the leftover Ki energy that does not get exerted in battle and gets stored in the breasts over time. But your body can only hold up to a liter and nothing more. If your chakra gets over that limit, your body begins to use it in all kinds of ways. It helps with healing wounds, fights off sickness, and if it gets to the point where there is any excess and the body can't use it, it just exits through urination. The same way unconsumed vitamins are excreted."
My jaw dropped, I couldn't believe what I was hearing, "So, we can even pee it out?"
Ikaruga nodded to this question, "Yes, but shinobi have figured out that sucking on the nipple can pull chakra straight out of the body. If done that way, the chakra will be in its purest form, and give the shinobi that consumed it a severe power boost."
My eyes go wide, "Can it really make you that much stronger?"
Hibari looks away when answering this, "Yes but doing so can have some severe repercussions to the one who had their chakra sucked out."
Minori looked at the both of them confused, "Re-per-cus-sions? What's that?"
Kat quickly jumped into the conversation after a long period of silence, "Wait, so losing chakra can harm us!?"
Ikaruga nodded solemnly, "Correct. It's because our bodies are so used to using the chakra itself, that the lack of chakra will cause our body to go into a sort of withdrawal, and if you suck out a shinobi's entire supply, that shinobi will die."
Both Kat and I gave wide-eyed looks while Minori gasps, "D-Die?"
Hibari nodded solemnly too, "I'm afraid so. Chakra is essential to keeping a shinobi alive, that if it were suddenly taken away like that, the shinobi would die. Which is why it's forbidden. Many shinobi have died due to a lack of chakra. Which is why we're asking you girls to forget about chakra."
The three of us went silent as we processed this information, I saw Kat and Minori's eyes glaze over with deep thought. Ikaruga noticed the tension and sighed, "If that's all, then you three have a flag to get."
Kat quickly spoke out, "There is one more thing. What're you two doing in front of my house?"
Ikaruga looked back to the house, then to Kat, "Your house, Kobayashi?"
Kat quickly nodded, "Yes, I do live here after all."
Hibari puts her hand to her chin in thought, "I wondered who would have a house all the way out here..."
Ikaruga looks back at it once more, "Well, I hope you weren't thinking of entering your house. We're in the middle of the preliminary round right now."
My body tensed up, 'So they are blocking us.'
Kat shook her head, "No, that's not what I said. I asked what you two were doing in front of it."
Hibari looks to the house herself, "I was thinking of using it as the finishing point for the prelims. I was gonna wait inside for a bit. Maybe use the bathroom if I have to. Since you're the owner of the house, would this be okay?"
Kat sighed, "Well since I can't return to it at the moment, I guess it's all right." She didn't sound too peachy keen about it though.
Hibari smiled, "Thank you, Ms. Kobayashi."
I soon looked to Ikaruga, "So why are you here, Ikaruga-Sensei?"
Ikaruga held out a piece of paper, where'd she get that, "I came here to get the progress report from Lt. Iguchi here. Need to make sure the preliminaries are progressing smoothly."
I crossed my arms, "I guess that makes sense."
Kat cracked the knuckles in her hands, "Well I guess we should try and find the flag so we can put an end to the prelims for us."
Hibari smiled, "I'll look forward to your return then."
Then we all went into the forest, Kat's smile turns big, "Okay! Now to find Yagyu!"
If I had a drink, this is where I would be doing a massive spit take, "What? But Yagyu kicked our asses earlier! We didn't stand a chance!" Was she crazy?! Considering half the stuff she decides purely on a whim or for her own desires, I would think so!
Kat looks at me seriously, "Well yeah, but Yagyu said she was out of chakra right? That means if we attack now, we might be on equal footing." She sounded so sure… but something deep in my gut was telling me this was a bad idea.
Minori looked petrified with fear, and all I could say was, "Well, I guess? But what if she sucked out more chakra from other people? Then what do we do?"
Kat wiggles her finger back and forth, "Then we just retreat. Simple, right?"
I sigh and massage my temples feeling a migraine just waiting to appear, "Alright, fine. Just promise me that we won't get hurt going over to Yagyu, Alright?"
Kat winked, "I'll protect you two, even if it costs me my life."
I felt a little reassured by that statement, she may be impulsive but Kat was also true to her words. We soon started to track down Yagyu starting with where we last saw her and kept moving from there. In no time at all, we found her all alone. I get close to Kat and whisper, "Now what?"
Kat whispers back, "Now we wait, see if she has consumed any chakra since she left us."
Minori points, also keeping her own voice hushed, "Someone's coming."
Yomi came out of the brush to approach Yagyu. She sighs in agitation, "Tell me you found one those flags yet. I've looked everywhere and I cannot find an-" At that point, Yagyu's stomach growled in an audible rate. Yomi jumped at the sound, "O-Out of chakra again? How much do you need to consume before you are satisfied?"
Yagyu soon whined like she was a child about to throw a fit, "You know how much of a glutton for chakra I am. Yomi, please, let me consume some of your chakra. Earth chakra is better than no chakra right now!"
Yomi's face pinched up into a stern expression, reminded me of a governess, "Absolutely not!"
Yagyu clasps her hands together to beg, "Come on, Yomi! I'm dying here."
Yomi takes a step back putting her arm up between Yagyu and her breasts, "Seriously, you need to learn to control that ravenous hunger of yours! It's going to get us all in trouble one of these days and I am not interested in getting caught in the middle of it!"
Soon Murasaki approaches the two also looking defeated, not to mention tired. Yagyu went over to her to beg too, "Please Murasaki, let me have some of your chakra?"
Murasaki backs off, "If it's all the same to you, I would prefer if you didn't suck on them thank you very much."
Yagyu's body tensed up and she was quick to drop into a defensive stance, "Murasaki, you were followed!"
We looked to where Yagyu was looking and saw a young girl standing there, hands in her orange hoodie pockets, and chewing on something. Yagyu fixes her glare at the girl, "Who are you!?"
A pink bubble came out of her mouth, and expanded to the size of half her head. The bubble soon popped and as she took the gum back into her mouth she smirked, "You guys got a flag?"
Yagyu stares at the girl without flinching, "What's it to you!?"
The girl stared back, blowing another bubble and let it pop and resuming her chewing. Things became tensely silent as we all waited for her to finish chewing, the only thing we could hear was the gum. With another large bubble popped, she smirked, "Then I am gonna have to beat you guys up if you do."
Yagyu scoffed, "Just try it. Murasaki, to me now!"
Murasaki pouted, "Why me!?"
Before anything else could happen, that girl was in between the two. Yagyu and Murasaki backed off quickly, and Yagyu was now more near Yomi. Yagyu looked to her, "Well, I guess we don't have much of a choice now do we Yomi?"
Yomi stomped her foot and yelled, "Like I'd ever let you do that to me!"
The girl soon spoke to Yagyu, "I'd have to advise against sucking out anyone's chakra toots. The moment you even try it, I'll shoot a shot straight through her heart."
Yagyu glared at the girl, "Is that so?"
The girl chuckled and blew another bubble, literally the only movement seemed to be coming from her mouth. It was… almost as if she was a statue at this point. Yomi tilted her head in a cautious manner, "What is your name?"
The bubble popped, the sound alone almost makes me want to flinch, "Naraku, retainer and sworn protector of Lady Kagura."
Yomi had a confused look, "Lady Kagura? Who is she?" She looked at her teammates, but all she got were mirrored levels of confusion.
Naraku shook her head, "You don't need to know about her. What you do need to know is, give me your flag or else."
Yagyu gave Naraku a threatening look, "Or else what!?"
Naraku blew another bubble and let it pop again, "You die."
Yagyu got on the defensive, "I like to see you try! Yomi to me now!"
Yomi summoned her weapon, which was giant broadsword, "I'll put an end to this, so Yagyu can't have an excuse to suck on my boobs! This will be all over in the first strike!"
Suddenly Yomi's Ki started to fill the air around us, as she lifted up her broadsword high above her head. As her Ki gushed off her and into her weapon, the broadsword grew to a humongous size. Yomi soon started to bring it down aiming it straight it at Naraku as she called out, "Sigmund!"
The force of Yomi's attack hitting her mark sent shockwaves of wind all around us, effectively breaking the ground upon impact due to the sheer force of her attack. After we regained our composure, Kat chuckles, "Remind me not to piss off Princess next time. She's got amazing physical strength. I doubt I could survive one of her hits… well, maybe. We'll have to see."
I looked back to Yomi who had a smirk on her face, "Well, doubt she's alive after that."
We suddenly heard Naraku's voice, "Then you'd have guessed wrong."
I heard Yomi speak, "What? How? Any part you could've blocked with should be crushed, along with you!"
Murasaki who had a clear view of the scene gasped, "She blocked with these strange orbs attached to her ankle."
Naraku quickly kicked Yomi's broadsword to the side, and before anyone could react, Naraku kept forward so fast she instantly connected a kick into Yomi's stomach with enough force that vomit and blood came gushing out of Yomi's mouth and she flew into a few trees, knocking them down in the process.
I stood up and cried out, "Yomi!" Giving away our position to the other three.
Yagyu glanced in our direction, "What?! You three followed us too?"
I couldn't help it, I ran out to where Yomi landed and found her barely conscious, her uniform a wreck. I lifted her off the ground, "Yomi? Please say something! Yomi!" I jostled her a little to hopefully get the blood flowing again inside her.
Yomi cast whatever gaze she had left at me, "R-Ren….ka?"
I put my finger to her lips after getting that much out of her, "Don't worry. We'll get you some help soon, hang on!"
I looked up to see Murasaki, Yagyu and Naraku all staring at me, with both Minori and Kat out of their hiding places. Naraku smiles, "Do you three happen to have the flag I wonder?"
Kat sighed and did some jazz hands to emphasize her lack of a flag, "I wish. We only came here hoping to steal one ourselves."
Yagyu raises her eyebrow, "Is that so?"
Naraku smirks mischievously, "Perfect. Then that means I was on the right track. Which of these two have the flag on them I wonder?" Her gaze shifts over to both Yagyu and Murasaki.
Yagyu scoffed as Murasaki got this frightened look on her face. Yagyu spat out, "Well, you're awfully confident aren't you!?"
Naraku smiled and was suddenly next to Murasaki instantly. The hoodie girl smirked with malicious intent. Murasaki saw this and freaked out, her Ki soon filled the air as well, as an uneasy groan came from her. Almost instantly, she screamed out at the top of her lungs, "Just leave me ALONE!" Which created a shockwave of darkness around her, pushing Naraku back as she put her leg up with that orb on it to block. Murasaki saw that Naraku had taken no damage and had a look of despair, "B-But how? That was my Super Secret Ninja Art! I worked on that for the last month. That's all I'm capable of as a second year!"
Naraku let out a low chuckle that made my blood turn cold, "Want to know why you didn't succeed?! It's because you're not strong enough!" Naraku twisted her body, shooting her foot up to kick Murasaki in the face, which sent her flying into the air a few feet, smiling upon when Murasaki hits the ground with a soft thud, "I went easy on her. After all, the last thing I need is to have Imu Saito come and try to kill me for revenge."
Naraku looked to Yagyu, "Just give me the flag and I'll leave the rest of you alone."
Yagyu face went into a rage, "Fuck off, bitch!"
Naraku smiled mischievously, "I love it when they play hard to get~. Makes the game of cat and mouse more enjoyable when the mouse is ripped in two."
Naraku charged forward, and that's when things suddenly got colder. I saw Yagyu's Ki seeping off her as well. She was getting prepared to attack too. Yagyu placed a hand on her eye patch, "If a Super Secret Ninja Art isn't enough! Then maybe an Ultimate can take you down!"
After removing the eye patch, red tentacles burst forth from out of her eye. Naraku could not stop herself and just guarded as the tentacles started to pound her body relentlessly. Some grunting sounds came from her too, which seems like a good thing in my book. Yagyu cried out, "You see this!? This is the power of a demon!"
Yagyu soon did a sweeping attack with her last tentacle, "Sweeping Tentacles!" The attack crashed into Naraku and broke her guard which sent her flying back as she cried out! Naraku crashed into the ground and rolled back a bit.
Yagyu retracted her tentacles and placed her eyepatch back on, but soon fell to her knees, "D-Damn it! I've expended too much chakra and Ki. I need to restock soon..."
Even after all that, it was too early to celebrate, as Naraku came right in front of Yagyu and connected a kick straight into Yagyu's abdomen, breaking a few ribs in the process based on the cracking sound that echoed through the air. Yagyu flew back with blood flying out of her mouth, landing a few feet from me as I watched on in horror.
Naraku fell to her own knees, "There's no way she's getting up after that."
It was over, Yagyu was too low on power to continue the fight. As Naraku got back up, someone shot forward connecting a kick straight into Naraku's back, breaking a few bones in the process and she flew forward due to the impact. Naraku's assailant landed next to me as I looked up at her in awe, "K-Kat!?"
Chapter End
Well that ends another chapter. The fight begins as the girls now struggle with a brand new struggle that brings most everyone around them to their knees. How will Renka and the gang get out of this? Find out next time, and in the meantime, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Ayame out.
