Naruto vs. Soi Fon! The battle against two fierce rival's begin! Welcome to the newest chapter of Naruto: Shinigami of the Kyubiakuma! I don't own anything but the story itself! Please enjoy and R&R!
"Soi Fon, why would you attack Yoruichi-sensei, of all people?" Naruto asked as he and Soi Fon crossed sword's. "Answer me! Don't you remember who I am? I'm the one you trained with, we were sparring partner's! Please, stop this now!"
"Shut up, you worm!" Soi Fon spat as her strength increased, causing the injured Naruto to spit up a small amount of blood, the blood rolling down his chin. "I remember you, Uzumaki Naruto! You were there the night she disappeared, you were involved in framing her! I won't have any mercy on you, for corrupting my sensei!"
Soi Fon took this opportunity to break through Naruto's weakening defense, kicking the injured Shinigami in the chest. This sent Naruto pummeling into the wall behind him, the injured Shinigami slumping into a fetal position as the bandage's that were wrapped across Naruto's chest reddened with blood.
"So pathetic, how could you possibly be my sparring partner if you can't even put up a decent fight?" Soi Fon asked as she placed her foot on Naruto's chest, pressing down with all her might. Naruto hollered in agony as this occurred, the pain more excrutiating then the blond Shinigami ever experienced.
"T-This is nothing..." Naruto stammered as he looked up at Soi Fon, blood staining his teeth. "I won't ever give up, not until you remember who I am!" Naruto leapt from the spot he laid, catching Soi Fon by surprise. The Shinigami attacked her with blinding speed, Soi Fon barely able to keep up at this point.
"T-This isn't possible, how did his speed increase to this level?" Soi Fon wondered as Naruto's movement became less readable, causing the captain to use the flash step to retreat from the incoming attack's. "Just a moment ago this kid was barely able to move, now he's doing all of this... and why doe's it not surprise me? I feel as if I expected this to occur..."
Naruto's knee's buckled slightly as the Shinigami's body began to feel the effect's of using such a high level shunpo technique.
"I was pushing it by just standing, now my body feel's like jello," Naruto groaned as he leaned up against the wall. "I know she can feel it... I can't let myself fall, I've got to keep it up, no matter what!"
"U-Unleash you inner demon, Kyubiakuma!" Naruto roared as he unleashed his shikai. "Stand by me Kyubiakuma, I need to win here, no matter what!"
"You're such a bother Naruto," Kyubiakuma complained as she stood in Naruto's mindscape. "But none the less, I shall aid you. Just allow me to give you a bit of a boost..." Naruto's body was shrouded in a cloak of red, Naruto's teeth going fang-like, his blue eye's going a fierce red.
"This transformation, is he some kind of monster?" Soi Fon wondered as she was in the midst of unleashing her own shikai. "This is ridiculous! But I have the strange sensation I've seen this before as well..."
"Remember me, Soi Fon," Naruto begged as the captain looked befuddled, almost as if she did not know what to do. "Please, I'm not your enemy. I just regained my memory too, so I know how you feel. But it was not me, it was Aizen!" Soi Fon's eye's widened at the mentioning of the captain, remembering her suspicion's of that night. She had thought that Aizen had tried to influence Naruto to betray Yoruichi, which was why they were searching for her.
"It... was Aizen, not you," Soi Fon remarked as her memorie's began to flood back into her mind. As they did, lost feeling's returned, of a boy that had earned her admiration due to his courage, honor, and commitment to being the best he could be. As that silly grin of a younger Naruto was seen in Soi Fon's mind, and as she looked on at the grown Naruto, who stood before her doing everything in his power to make her remember who he was, she knew she had made a terrible mistake.
"Naruto..." Soi Fon murmured as the blond Shinigami grinned, now knowing the captain's memory was returned. "I've been... I'm sorry I put you through all I have. Master, I must ask you a question."
"Soi Fon, it's good to see you've returned to your true self," Yoruichi remarked as she nodded. "Go ahead Soi Fon."
"If you were leaving the Soul Society, why would you not take me with you?" Soi Fon asked almost meekly as Yoruichi closed her eye's, with a small smile clouding her expression. She answered Soi Fon's question, though only Naruto and Soi Fon able to hear what she said. Naruto turned to his old partner with a grin as Soi Fon's face went a fierce red when Yoruichi finished.
"Well, doe's that explain it to you Soi Fon?" Yoruichi asked as Soi Fon wiped a small tear from her eye's.
"Yes, thank you... Master," Soi Fon responded as she turned to her men, who had stopped their siege to see what their captain's next order was. "All of you, return to the Soul Society! This mission is over, I'll take the rest of this on my own! Dismissed!" Though her men weren't too sure what was going on, they did as they were told, all beside Neji.
"I dismissed you Liutenant, now return to the Soul Society," Soi Fon commanded, but Neji refused to budge, not even speak. "Hyuga! Do as I..."
"You're planning to help them defy the Soul Society, aren't you?" Neji interrupted, Soi Fon looking back at the Hyuga with a glare. "You have history with these people, leaving you here doesn't seem like it would be smart Captain. There's no need for you to associate yourself with these vermin. They are destined to be defeated..."
"There you go, determining what's going to happen to someone," Naruto interrupted as he stepped forward. "You can't just sit here thinking you can predict the future. Fate can be changed. just like fate said I should have lost to you."
"You will regret that, Uzumaki," Neji stated as he unsheathed his zanpakuto from his sash. "Now I'll show you, what my eye's can really do."
"You already shown me, then you went crawling back to the Soul Society, remember?" Naruto shot back as Neji let out a slight growl in response. Neji took a swing at Naruto's chest, Soi Fon intervening the strike by flash stepping before Naruto, blocking the blow.
"Captain, is this the path you've chosen?" Neji asked as he tightened his grip upon his zanpakuto. "I will return you to the Soul Society in handcuff's if that is the case."
"Soi Fon, you don't need to do this..." Yoruichi began as Soi Fon interrupted her sensei with a snicker.
"You've alway's been asleep, haven't you Neji?" Soi Fon asked as she stared directly into Neji's glare. "I know one thing those eye's can't see: the fact that your arrogance is what hold's you back from becoming a top class Shinigami. Being a Hyuga can only bring you so far, and you've pathetically reached the limit of your bloodline." Neji broke free from Soi Fon's block, flash stepping behind her, taking a slash at the Captain's back. Soi Fon disappeared in thin air, only her haori being sliced in half. Neji's eye's widened as he was kicked in the chin, causing him to fly across the room. Soi Fon flash stepped once again, this time in the area that Neji was headed toward. Neji tried to use his left hand to slow himself down as Soi Fon advanced forward in a slow pace, only watching in silence.
As Neji managed to stop himself in mid-air, he did a back flip to return back to his feet, but as he did this, he was punched in the cheek as he was in the middle of the flip by Soi Fon. Neji was sent flying the opposite direction now, Soi Fon following him with a flash step. Neji looked up with one eye open, one eye closed, as Soi Fon went on an offensive assault. She used an advanced flash step, her speed increasing to the point that the she was not able to been seen by the naked eye, only the indent's that were appearing in the place's the Captain was attacking. Neji tried to go on the defensive, looking around the room as he tried to use the Byukugan to target the Captain's movement, but it was to no avail. The Byakugan was able to see the Captain's spiritual pressure, but only at the brief moment when she appeared before him, which was already too late for a counterattack.
"You've figured a way to best the Byakugan by using your speed to your advantage," Neji choked out as he kneeled on the ground, Naruto, Yoruichi, and the other's watching from the sideline's. "This is not over..." As Neji spoke, he was interrupted by Soi Fon thrusting her knee into his chest, blood spraying from the Hyuga's mouth as this occurred. Soi Fon then used both fist to pummel the Hyuga into the ground, then placed on foot on the Hyuga's back.
"Do not move, if you value your life," Soi Fon warned as Neji looked up with one eye closed, one eye opened. "You're finished, you have no chance."
"Maybe so..." Neji murmured as he reached for his dropped zanpakuto, which sat before his outstretched hand. As Neji's finger touched the hilt of the zanpakuto, Soi Fon's own zanpakuto pierced his hand, causing it to be immobilized. Neji howled in pain as blood trickled down his arm, Soi Fon picking up the Shinigami by the back of his kimono. She then tossed him to the other side of the room, away from his zanpakuto.
"Master, I am asking your permission to join you and Naruto in sieging the Soul Society," Soi Fon asked as she kneeled on one leg before Yoruichi.
"Stop being so formal Soi Fon," Yoruichi answered. "We're not sieging it, we're saving it. And yes, if you would like to join us, it would be a pleasure."
"You drew your sword on your own subordinate, you'll burn for this traitor..." Neji choked out as Soi Fon looked back, prepared to strike down Neji again. Naruto grabbed Soi Fon's shoulder, who turned to face him, the blond Shinigami shaking his head no. Soi Fon nodded, knowing what he meant.
"This is what we are going to do then," Kisuke announced as everyone in the room turned to face him. "I think it would be best if we take a subtle approach in entering the Soul Society, now that we have a Captain with us. Here is the plan..."
The plan is revealed next chapter!
