[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
“Sometimes you are handed a reason to fight, other times conflict just seems to find you.” –Kazuko, Paradiseo Regular, Communications Technician
Kuroudo walked down the desolated gothic architecture of the Oh-ka ridge stronghold. His wound still hadn't sealed so he couldn't fight that well, it was a two inch deep slash that ran from his left shoulder to his belt line. Explosive shells had pounded the living shit out of the fort the night before.
“It's a shit deal aint it?” Kitty strolled up to him, Thompson machine gun cradled under her arm, “This whole siege deal? Plus that injury, even with your body you'll be down for at least a week.”
“Heh, I have this.” Kuroudo held up his M1 Garand rifle, “Plus my two pistols and my sword, I'll be fine it's you normal people I worry about, always needing my help.” Kuroudo said cheerfully as he patted his shoulder, “But I'm always glad to oblige.”
“You sure are.” At that moment a shell directly hit the castle and the enemy swarmed in, Kuroudo fired all eight .30/06's from the Garand switching to the Luger and emptying the eight .45's it held, Kitty cut loose with the Tommie gun sawing a foe in half. It wasn't enough, Kuroudo drew out his .44 magnum revolver and jammed the barrel against an enemy's temple when he fired the head erupted into a half moon shaped blood fountain and bone and brain fragments painted the opposite wall.
Kuroudo laughed as more came, he aimed and fired.
“Hung?” Kuroudo said with a startled voice as he woke up to see Temari sitting on his chest, staring at him, “Ummm… Guten Tag meine Fraulein?”
“I think I'm pregnant.” Temari looked away from Kuroudo as she spoke.
“Ya know that is exactly what Momoko said when she woke me up this morning.” Kuroudo said as he stretched, “It's not nice to… say… that…”
“Kuroudo…” Temari said in a low voice, she looked dejected, “I'm serious.”
“That's exactly what Momoko said too,” Kuroudo said with a sigh as he looked toward the ceiling, “I trust her judgment on knowing that already better than I trust yours, she has the instincts of an animal so she'd know already.”
“What about me?” Temari continued to look away as she spoke, she seemed scared and in truth Kuroudo couldn’t blame her.
“Well Paradiseo law states that if I willingly have sex with a woman and she becomes pregnant as a result of said sexual activity I must marry her and in the event I being the apparent sexual stud I am get two women pregnant at the same time must either marry both or come to some agreement that satisfies both women.” Kuroudo said calmly as he rubbed at his chin, “You got all that?”
“Well this is Konoha.” Temari said absently as she rubbed at her belly, “What good is Paradiseo law?”
“Ah, but due to the treaty, the current place of living for any active Paradiseo shinobi is bound by Paradiseo law and not the law of that land.” Kuroudo’s voice perked up as he spoke, “So this being me and Momoko's room we are technically in Paradiseo right now.”
“So, that still hasn't answered my question.”
“Well there is another set of laws; this is the part that concerns you so pay attention. If the ninja that impregnates the woman/women is from a clan that has a kekkei genkai he must marry the woman/women into the clan. The price I would pay for disobeying this law is decapitation by my clan's headmaster, if the headmaster cannot do this for any reason the job goes to the Inukage.”
“So…?”
“To water this down, either you have to get an abortion or I have to marry you and Momoko or I get my head chopped off by my foster father,” Kuroudo said with a look of slight frustration on his face, “simple enough yet?”
“Hey Kuroudo!” a two foot tall stuffed animal fox that looked comically like Kuroudo landed on the bed, “Hey we've got trouble!”
“Yeah I got two girls pregnant…” Kuroudo said with a smile and chuckle.
“That's nice but Saito's under attack!” As the little plushy spoke Temari couldn't stop staring; same hair style, same clothes; same collar with a bell, black bandages, and the stuffed animal was a tiny Kuroudo.
“I don't need to grab my guns every time some over confident ass hats try to kill Saito.” Kuroudo said absently and almost mockingly as he looked at Temari, “Oh introductions, Temari this is Kitsune, Kitsune this is Temari.”
“Kuroudo, get serious! I wouldn't waste your time, the enemy is actually winning; Anasake and Ryujin are down and Kitty was losing pretty hardcore to Koga when I left.” Kitsune said as he looked up at Temari and smiled, “And it's nice to meet you, Temari. I'm going to assume that you're the other girl that my idiot master knocked up. I'm right aren't I?”
“…” Temari punched Kitsune.
-Bam! - The door flew open and Momoko, with wet hair and wet clothes on ran in.
“Kurou….” She stared to say but looked at Kitsune; “You are an asshole!”
“I did know you could get dressed that fast!” the plushy broke out laughing. Momoko had on a skirt with a high slit on the right side, it was green with a black cat head on the left side, she'd also put on some meshing; both legs up to below the knee and upper leg also to about the knee. She'd also put on a green tank-top and a mesh undershirt; on her arms she had mesh arm warmers on the lower portions.
“Don't…!” Momoko started to say but stopped when Kuroudo placed his hand on her shoulder.
“Jeez let it slide for now we've got to help Saito and Kitty, they are own friends you know.” Kuroudo said calmly as he walked pass Momoko; he’d gotten dressed without Temari noticing that he'd left the bed; his black pants and a black zip up hoody. He was holding two handguns; in his right hand he had a shinny revolver with a six inch barrel and in his left he had a Luger, “Momoko, your .357.”
He handed her the large shinny revolver and she grabbed her equipment belt off a table, snapping the cylinder open and quickly loading the gun with rounds from a nearby box of ammo.
“Temari go get your brothers and tell Gaara to wake up Miho.” Kuroudo said calmly as he grabbed a holster from another table and tucked the Luger inside, “We meet in front of this building in fifteen minutes tell them that and to prepare for a major battle.”
“Okay.” Temari got off the bed and looked at Kuroudo; there was a lot she wanted to say to him, a lot she needed to say.
“Don't waste time talking to me!” Kuroudo barked harshly, “Now, go hurry!”
Temari ran to Miho's room door, He seemed so frazzled… Oh yeah Saito is the Inukage! Kitty is one of their AZIC members, supposedly more elite then the ANBU Anasake is the leader of the AZIC and Ryujin is Kuroudo's sensei, so the uberelites of the Hidden Light are in trouble? She knocked on the door and Gaara answered.
Kuroudo looked at Momoko, the look in his mismatched eyes was one that she hadn’t seen in months but was very familiar with; a gaze of joy and sorrow. She knew what was on his mind and it was what she feared most; he wanted to fight at his best, his true and terrible power.
“For whoever it is who's attacking they must be incredibly strong to beat those guys. I might need to use…” Kuroudo paused, “That technique… and you might also have to go all out as well.”
“I know. And Kuroudo,” Momoko said with a sigh, she was playing with a dangerous weapon by allowing Kuroudo to fight unrestricted, “this isn't a field in the mountains; it's a village this must be ended quickly.”
“Good, that's the last fig leaf.” Kuroudo said in an eerie voice as he let a cruel smile spread across his face and he put the rest of his gear on, “I'll show them why they call me the Master of Murder.”
-The street-
Koga struck Kitty at least four times in the ribs and she fell unconscious, things were at little harder than planned to remove Saito's Chakra shield, but thanks to Juri's quick thinking Deidara's bombs kept him occupied. Deidara hid and sent the explosives towards the homes and Saito would wrap them in his chakra causing implosions, not explosions. It's a slow process and it seemed like the Akatsuki were having a strange picnic in front of Saito.
Sasori, Itachi, Hidan, Kakuzu, and even the leader stood atop a crowd of defeated ANBU staring at Saito, Menos was eating one of the ANBU's faces. He'd been completely released his intricate tattoos were very visible. Juri sat on top of a defeated Ryujin; Itachi put him in an illusion, Juri knocked him unconscious.
“Damn it!” Saito howled as a huge bomb came down and Saito had to use so much of his chakra to stop it that he wouldn’t be able to keep the shield up anymore. Can't last much longer. Saito fell to one knee, panting.
“Finally!” Deidara said as he dropped down next to Itachi, “That took too long… yeah.”
“There are three ways to use the Hidden Hand.” Saito said as he rose from his crouching stance, blood lust in his eyes. “I'll show you the second.”
-KABOOOMM!!!- Saito had launched forward and poked Itachi and Deidara in their guts, and sent them flying like fired cannon balls. Buildings behind them were demolished as they smashed through them flying at mach 3.
As they flew over a field; Saito landed on top of them, one foot on both their chests.
“True Hidden Hand, Spinning Top!” Saito howled as he rotated quickly, sending his opponents flying in different directions. Hidan watched as the Earth exploded as Itachi and Deidara disappeared along with the green-clad man, then not a blink later the green-man reappeared.
“The true hidden hand even circulates all my chakra throughout my body.” Saito said harshly as he turned his gaze towards Hidan, “Even that which usually is in the shield.”
“But what you just did used all it up!” Menos screamed as he charged forward and was about to knock Saito flat with a punch, “DIE MASTER OF MURDER!!!”
Kuroudo grabbed Menos's right arm, the giant’s eyes widened in horror as he realized what had happened. Menos stared into the cold eyes of Kuroudo; they were the eyes of an executioner, cold and neutral.
“You called?” Kuroudo said harshly as he tightened his grip, “Blood Weapon Jutsu!”
“NO!” Menos screamed as he tried to pull away.
“The bloody shotgun!” Kuroudo howled as a shockwave launched down his arm and Menos' arm blew apart into blood and bone fragments all the way up to his shoulder. Kuroudo looked at the group of enemies through the spray of bloody liquid, “Those of you, who wish not to die, should've stayed home today.”
