D. Kyuubi was playing off my weakness of state, but I was back for the most part. Dark had reclused into the back of my mind, but I was in full control. It had been so long since I had feeling that I wasn't sure if it was a fake dream made by Dark or reality. I soon learned it wasn't a dream. D. Kyuubi was trying to kill me.
Over the course of three years I had been locked away in Dark's mind and forced to bear witness to what he had done. When he slashed me I felt his glee. When he killed Maki I felt his bloodlust.....but when he killed Kai I felt him twitch. I knew I had a powwer over him then. I invoked my own wrath on him though giving him a lacking he couldn't fill.
Now I was back in control. I smirked feeling my muscles roll over each other as I dodged the crazed D. Kyuubi. I had to get back to the real Kyuubi as soon as possible.
"Hachi!" I heard a voice yell.
My eyes moved fast enough to catch Yuri running towards me. D. Kyuubi tried to stop her, but she pushed him into a wall.
"Hachi Hcahi Hachi!" she yelled running faster to me. I tried to stand but found at least three of my ribs were broken. She hugged me, and I had to do everything not to scream out in pain. Suddenly she kissed me. A picture of Maki exploded in my mind......Maki........
As sudden as it had occured, Yuri cut off the kiss and began to cry. Salty tears mixed with the blood running out of my shoulder.
"How?? How, Nya? I thought you were dead. Now you stand before me... Is it reallly you Hachi, nya? I missed you so much. I'... so glad, nya... Hachi..." she cried.
She was like a little sister.....I didn't know what to say. Her head moved and bumped a slash D. Kyuubi had made and I coudln't help releasing an "Umf."
Oh sorry..." she said letting go of me quickly. Her eye moved over my wounds, and I had to hold in a responce to move my hand up my shoulder to block her eye. "You're hurt badly, nya... Come." she told me, licking the blood like a cat.
"Knock it of." I answered. We didn't have time to deal with my wounds. D. Kyuubi was still around. She stopped instanly and smile with a single tear coming down her cheek.
" It really is you, nya." Yuri smiled.
"Naw I'm ssstill dead," I said under my breathe...she and the others would have to learn about that later......
"Oh what a beautiful moment." D. Kyuubi said sarcasticly. "It makes me sick. Too bad I have to break it up and kill Hachi."
"If you put one hand on him, you'll be answering to me you bastard." Yuri barked at him, extending my arms before me. Her teeth grew into fangs and her nails grew into claws.
"Oh, Kitty got claws." D. Kyuubi laughed, evily. "Too bad I to break them."
"Come and try, nya." Yuri smiled madly.
When had she gotten so brave?
"Here I come!" D. Kyuubi screamed dashing towards us.
"Yuri... move." I yelled.
"No way. I'm not going to lose you again." she answered.
"Don't do it....." I said feeling more blood trail down my side.
Yuri quickly did my my signs and blew a ring of fire around us, blocking D. Kyuubi. The fires were hot and dangerous.
"Uhg!" D. Kyuubi said.
Then suddenly a kunai blew past Yuri's face, leaving a mark and causing red streams of blood to fall.
"Damn, I should of known that wasn't going to work. D. Kyuubi is also a fire biju, Nya. Damn it to hell." Yuri swore.
"We have to get away," I said, "It's our only chance."
"You're too injured to move!" Yuri answered.
"Then you get away!" I answered, "I can take this guy."
I felt the smack before I heard it. Yuri hit hard.
"Hachi quit it!"
"Heh.....it wasss worth a ssshot. Fine," I answered I did a quick set of hand signs and I teleported us as fas as I could. I let out a breathe and my muscles screamed.
"How did you do that? I though D. Kyuubi used jutsus to lock everything off," Yuri said standing.
"Heh he never needed to lock Dark away and sssince Dark and I have the ssame chakra sssignature welll....."
Suddenly I felt a broken rib rub up against my side slashing it open. I fell over, and Yuri screamed.....
Yuri continue?
