Kyuubi felt a hollowness in his chest as Sasuke died. He felt both separate and a part of the feeling.
'The brat loved this boy. His feelings just spilled over into mine.' Kyuubi thought. Nevertheless, he let out a mourning howl. It started as a soft, keening howl, then escalated into a howl filled with so much pain that it nearly broke the hearts of everyone who heard it. The townspeople and the few nins that had run stopped in their tracks, turning back to see what appeared to be a little boy soaked in blood, howling over a dead body. They might have run in disgust- a few townspeople threw up when they saw that much blood- but they were rooted to the spot, powerless to do anything but watch as Sound ANBU closed in on Kyuubi.
Kyuubi was brought back to himself when one of the approaching ANBU accidently kicked a small stone. It would not be enough to alert anyone with hearing less acute than Kyuubi's but it was more than enough for Kyuubi. He jerked his head towrds the sound, abruptly cutting off his howl, just in time to see an ANBU lunging at him. Kyuubi tried to spring off his hands, but he realized too late that his arms no longer worked- stiff with paralysis, both of them. It also didn't help that another wave of dizzying pain hit as he was trying to leap, making him close his eyes in pain.
The ANBU's fist caught him square in the jaw, throwing him back over Sasuke's body. He grunted as he hit the dead boy, his face landing almost exactly over Sasuke's.
"Weak. All of Konoha is weak, to be defeated by only this creature!" He spat at Kyuubi, but it missed by a mere milimeter, hitting Sasuke's cheek instead.
A larger rage than anything Kyuubi had ever felt before rise up in him. It was twice what Kyuubi had ever felt, or ever could feel.
'The brat feels anger as well.' Kyuubi noted. 'The merging is happening too fast- this isn't normal. I have the use of only my left leg- how in the seven hells am I supposed to kill them?' Kyuubi glanced at Sasuke's face again, the saliva slowly rolling down Sasuke's cheek.
"You are one very dead man." Kyuubi growled, somehow managing to stand on his left leg while his right leg and arms hung useless. Kyuubi coiled close to the ground, using only his left leg as support and balance, and sprung at the man, teeth finding the ANBU's throat. Whipping his head from side to side, Kyuubi managed to decapitate the man.
Two of the ANBU's men converged on Kyuubi, but Kyuubi was still boiling from the anger at seeing Sasuke treated so calously. He quickly kicked the man's stomach, his foot coming out the other side. He fell, his only means of balance stuck in his now dead opponent's gut. The other that had come at him picked a kunai up out of a nearby dead body and quickly brought it down to Kyuubi's neck. It pricked his skin before Kyuubi managed to move his leg enough so that he could knee his opponent in the groin. The man dropped the throwing knife and gasped, dropping to his knees- close enough for Kyuubi to kick off the man's head.
Kyuubi kicked viciously and the man's head popped off, almost like the head of a flower. The body fell, blood splashing and temporarily covering Kyuubi's eyes. Kyuubi cursed andmoved his neck so he could wipe off the blood. It worked, and he could see again in a moment, but by then it was too late.
There were seven ANBU left, and all seven held a kunai at his neck, temple, or heart. He would be dead before he could dream of moving.
"Gotcha." an ANBU growled. "Now you pay for all the annoyance you've caused Orochimaru-sama!"
"Bastard." Kyuubi growled, though no one was quite sure if he was talking about Orochimaru or the nin.
"Once you're dead, Orochimaru-sama will have no worries about taking over Konoha. It willbe ours, and he will be able to put his face up on the Hokage Monument, where it belongs! He will have a better body, his homeland restored, and we shall be his right-hand men!" Now that Kyuubi was in their power, they seemed to think that they could boast.
"You mean Uchiha will be your masters new body?" Kyuubi asked. "You just killed him. He's dead. Your master will soon follow him, because of what that snake-bastard did to him!" Kyuubi wasn't sure why he was speaking so much- he usually spoke very little.
'It must be this damn merger.' Kyuubi thought. He turned his thoughts back to the nin currently intent on killing him.
"The Uchiha is... dead?" The ANBU seemed shocked, but then grinned. "Then you shall be his next vessal! A body better than that of Uchiha Sasuke, a body worthy of our master!" Kyuubi cursed as the ANBU started aiming for his temples with his fist- a hit there would knock Kyuubi out.
Sakura watched the battle that Naruto- no, Kyuubi, Kyuubi was using the body- was fighting. He seemed unable or unwilling to move more than his left leg and neck.
A low moan sounded beside her. She turned to Lee.
Lee opened his eyes to see Sakura's face above his. He tried to sit up, but Sakure put a gentle hand on his left shoulder and held him down.
"Don't move. Your right arm is broken and you have broken ribs on both sides, not to mention that your left wrist popped out and the internal bleeding. You could get hurt worse if you try to move. I could only put temporary splints and bandages on the wounds. I couldn't do anything about the popped wrist or the internal bleeding, and I haven't seen a medic close." Sakura said softly.
"But... what about the Sound ANBU? Are you hurt?" Lee asked, eyes shining in concern for Sakura. She felt tears come to her eyes. Here Lee was, badly hurt because she couldn't protect herself, and he was worried about her.
"I'm fine. Naruto's fighting the ANBU-"
"By himself?!" Lee asked, shocked. He renewed his struggles to get up, but Sakura held him down.
"Stay there. Naruto will be fine- well, because it's not really Naruto who's fighting..." Sakura said, biting her lip and hoping Lee got it.
He did.
His eyes widened with realization.
"Ky- Kyuubi? Kyuubi is fighting?" Lee said. Sakura nodded.
"I don't know what's going to happen. When I saw him a bit after you were knocked out, he seemed like himself, but he changed a little bit after that. He was laughing as he killed the Sound ninja. I think it was then that Kyuubi took over."
"Will Naruto be able to take back his body?" Lee asked.
"I don't know."
Kyuubi dodged as much as he could, but he could feel his neck and leg stiffening at an alarming rate.
'Damnit.' he thought, biting his lip as the newest wave of pain almost made him black out. He quickly dodged the hands of his opponent, only to run into another nin. His opponent's friends had caught on, and were now doing all they could to bring Kyuubi down in one piece.
Kyuubi cursed again and ducked, but then his stiff right leg caught on something- a pebble perhaps- and he fell. He hit the ground hard, gasping as the wind was knocked out of him.
The Sound ANBU gathered around him, but not too close. As one or two of their number had seen, he was still deadly with only his leg being able to move.
Of the original group that attacked, only the five facing him were left, not including the ones that had run.
"This is the end." one ANBU said. "You will come with us now. Stand up." Kyuubi growled, trying to look menacing from his prone position on the ground. It didn't work, but he couldn't stand either, so he settled for the ineffective glare.
The ANBU kicked his ribs. Kyuubi was pretty sure he heard something crack.
"Stand, now." Kyuubi growled again. An ANBU behind him kicked his kidneys. Kyuubi gasped, but he could not move to save his life. The ANBU each took turns kicking him, each more brutal than the last. Kyuubi was sure that half his ribcage was broken, as well as his nose and jaw. His legs bones were bruised, possibly fractured.
"Get up, or we will kill you. We can offer Orochimaru-sama our bodies in return, but we will not kill you quickly. Stand, you pathetic creature!" Kyuubi winced as another punishing blow was delivered to his solar plexus.
'I will not die like this!' Kyuubi thought, trying to get his limbs to obey him. They wouldn't move, but he felt the pain of each and every blow.
Sakura's eyes widened when she saw the ANBU beating up Kyuubi.
'What's wrong with Nine-Tails? Why is he letting them do that?' Sakura wondered, watching with horror as Kyuubi was hurt over and over again. Even though she knew who was using the body at the moment, it still looked like Naruto- her friend.
She couldn't let this happen.
Sakura stood, letting Lee's shoulder's go. If he wanted to stand or sit up, so be it.
