Shukakau imprisoned me in a sand cage, and I was fighting to get out. Suddenly blood forced it’s way up my throat. I leaned back in the cage. The blood tasted terrible. It was mine, but it was colder than usual. I could barely breathe without sending more blood up. It showered the floor of the prison.
“Dam Kai!” I swore, “That wound was worse than I thought.”
I fought against the pain and sealed up the major blood vessels that had been severed by Kai’s needle. With the hole sealed up, I managed to break Shukaku’s cage using a blood acid jutsu. It literally turned the blood on the floor into acid that made a hole for me to escape. I could smell he was with Kyuubi, and Kyuubi was not breathing fast, so I figured he was unconscious. I teleported to where they were.
“Is everyone and their mother off the firkin deep end?” Shukaku asked angrily.
He was huge, but I did a quick growth jutsu and managed to get about his height. It cost me a lot of chakra, but I transformed into my snake form.
“Hachi! Come on man snap out of it!” Shukaku yelled.
“Lrt go of Kyuu-dono!” I yelled.
“Dono? Hachi are you serious? What time period are we in? Feudal Japan?” Shukakau nearly laughed.
I unleashed a snake fang jutsu, and Shukaku dropped Kyuubi. I grabbing Kyuubi from the air and backed away.
“Kyuubi!” I yelled, “Wake up dam it!”
Kyuubi was awake in seconds. He stood up and transformed as well.
“Thanks for the wake up call,” Kyuubi said, “But we are at a disadvantage here with all this sand.”
“As long as it is not water I am fine,” I answered.
Suddenly Kai came out of nowhere in his full demon form. I hissed and turned to him.
“Kyuubi, I have work to do. Do you mind?” I asked.
“Not at all,” Kyuubi answered.
Kai’s chakra was angry and fiery. If I didn’t know any better I could have sworn it was Kyuubi’s.
“Kai…” I hissed, “You refuse to kill me, but you still attack…what do you plan to do?”
Kai didn’t answer, but rather attacked. His teeth went straight for my shoulder. What was wrong with Kai? Was he really fighting to kill? This would be most interesting. The fight continued, but I began to understand what had happened. Rage was running through him at that moment. He no longer had control.
“Kai!” I yelled, “Kai! Go back to normal!”
“If you are going to die Hachi,” Kai growled, “I’m going to make you suffer!”
