Suki had given me some of her chakra. It was so strong that I knew I could do the jutsu with it. The jutsu needed a lot of chakra and without Ryusemi I was sure I would never be strong enough to do it. Now I could.
"Dark...." I said as my hands worked, "You thought you gained everything.....you were wrong. I am Hachimata not you. And I will prove it to you."
My hands finished the jutsu and I felt Suki's chakra go to work. "Destruction of the soul" I hissed. It was a jutsu I had come to hate using. It had taken Suki's dark side but my memories of her. I now did it on myself. The darkness around me shattered like glass reveiling white light. Dark appeared infront of me. His eyes pressed into me.
"Hachimata," he said sharply, "Did you really think that wassss going to work on me? we are the same! We know each other to a degree that we are one full soul."
"You didn't know...." I panted, "That I was alive."
"Yesssss," Dark hisssed, "That isssss true and I applaud my lessser half of thinking of that."
"You are the weak one," I hissed.
"heh I would ssssay you are. You sssslept and let me have the reigns becaussse you were too weak to undersssstand your own feelingssss, and assssss punisssshment, I will end the life of the girl you hold mossst dear."
"NO!" I yelled.
Suddenly I felt an explosion of chakra run through me. It was my own. I had had it all along! I felt the anger at Dark and our fight began.
"Dark barage!" Dark yelled.
"Chidori!" I yelled back.
[To Kai]
As I fought Dark he seemed to be slowing down. He even stopped and started clawing at his head. Hachi! I thought. It looked like my brother was alive. Dark continued to drive his nails into Hachi's skin yelling the entire way. I wondered what the fight looked like.
[Back to Hachi]
Dark was fast and strong. A more worthy oponet had never lived. We both used seperate chakras and fired attacks. We kicked and punched and drove our fangs into each other, but neither of us would fall. Finally we both stopped. Bleeding and breathing heavily, we stopped.
"Hachimata, you are truely the massster of fighting," Dark said as blood rushed from a slash I had maimed him with. My fangs had driven into him, but he had tried to remove them and had ended up doing more damage to himself.
"You are ssstrong asssss well," I answered.
"But we both know how to settle thisssss," Dark said.
"No more pawnsssss," I answered.
"King on King one last attack," Dark finished.
"Get ready," i said. I used the last of my chakra to make one more chidori. Dark made one last snake fang barage. Our forces collided, but I was teh stronger and destroyed Dark then and there. I felt the control of my body shift back to me. I turned my head and saw Kai.
"Hachi?" Kai asked.
"I'm ssssorry Kai," I smiled, "For making you worry about me."
There was a puddle of water nearby, and I looked it to see my brown hair and brown eyes. I was myself again. Maki was crying and I walked over to her.
"Get away!" Maki yelled, "Aki Aki are you ok? Aki!"
"Maki, I'm me," I said.
Maki turned and looked at me. Her eyes seemed to flood with more tears.
"Maki I'm fine," Aki said, "Hachimata? I don't feel anything dark anymore."
"Dark is dead," I answered, "And I will never let him live again."
"Good" Aki answered.
"So Dark is dead," D. Kyuubi said his voice seemed to drive nails into my spine.
"Yessss," I said turning.
"So that is what that weakling was doing. Arising you heh. Then I'll just kill you Hachimata."
"Fight then."
"When I tasted your blood before, it was iced and just the way I liked it. Looks like I will get to sample some more."
"Bring it," I answered.
