Chapter 5: The heat is on
Konohamaru and Sasuke were awaken the next morning by a loud explosion, they could feel a strong rush of air from the created shockwave, it was the last thing needed to finish drying their clothing. “What was that?” Konohamaru mumbled sleepily, his mind quickly coming back in to conciseness.
Sasuke lifted Konohamaru off of him and jumped up to one of the support beams above them. He could see the end of a large explosion that had gone off a few blocks from where they were. Looking around he could see smaller fires in the surrounding buildings and other homes. “What’s happening?”
A fully dressed Konohamaru climbed up with him, amazed to see the damage that had been caused and that he’d slept through all of it. “How--?” Konohamaru was the first one down in to the street, running toward any direction he thought could find out what was going on.
He froze when he came to a nearby house, a large hole was created in the side giving him an clear view of what was happening inside. A woman in side was completely mauled, the actual wounds were hidden by the remains of her clothing and copious amounts of blood. But he could see that her stomach and torso had been ripped open, the woman could only let out a weakened cry with her last breath. Whatever had done this was still there, he could hear it biting and chewing, but it’s body was concealed by the darkness in the room, except for a pair of downcast glowing red eyes.
A fire flared up behind it, revealing a brown fox with three tails. “Sas-Sasuke!” Konohamaru nearly screamed taking a step back, the fox’s ear’s twitched and it looked up, growling with blood dripping from it’s mouth. Konohamaru pulled out a Kunai fearfully, the fox jumped at him, it’s speed was much quicker then he had expected. It easy caught him off guard and he couldn’t move fast enough, but his body was pushed out of the way by Sasuke.
When Konohamaru looked up, Sasuke was holding off the fox with a knife in it’s mouth and hand pushing it back from it’s throat. The fox snarled and bit down on the metal, shattering it between it’s teeth. Sasuke lifted his knee into it’s stomach then kicked it back before it had a chance to do the same to him. “What is that thing?” Konohamaru asked, running over to him.
“No! Stay back!” Sasuke shouted, Konohamaru would be an easy target for it.
“Uh….Too late.” Konohamaru turned around and came face to face with another almost exactly identical fox, Only it had a large piece of metal in one eye. “
Damnit!” Sasuke did a backflip kicking the fox in it’s chin, then springing into the air, dropping his heel down on it’s head. It was knocked too the ground but immediately snapped back up with it’s mouth open. Sasuke just narrowly managed to pull his leg back in time, it was clear he wouldn’t be able to help Konohamaru.
“Try to stay in it’s blind spot.” Was the only advice Sasuke could offer, if one eye was injured it would be a little more focused on that then Konohamaru, hopefully. The half blind fox charged at him, Konohamaru immediately moved too the left where the injured was sided. But the fox was still fast, to fast for him to get anywhere to far. Konohamaru fell back to the ground just as the fox reached him, lifting his foot and kicking it in the chest. Using it’s own momentum against itself and tossing it on it’s back a few feet ahead.
Konohamaru wasn’t completely useless.
Sasuke was almost so distracted watching Konohamaru that the fox almost pinned him down to the ground. Almost. In the process of falling Sasuke delivered a sharp punch to it’s jaw and swift kick to It’s body. But that still didn’t detoured the wolf, it still managed to knock him to the ground, pinning him down by standing on his chest. It went for his face, trying to bite him but he lifted it’s arm and pushed back against it’s neck. He found himself looking into it’s open mouth which was steadily coming closer, this fox was much stronger then it appeared for it’s size.
He found relief a sudden from the losing battle of strength, Konohamaru came from the side and rammed into it, knocking it off and sending it tumbling along with himself a few feet away. Konohamaru jumped on top of it while it was still on it’s back, with a Kunai in his hand he plunged his fist in to it’s chest, sending a splatter of blood over his arms. Weakened but not dead, the fox snapped at his face with it’s mouth opened wide. Konohamaru flinched, driving the knife oddly into it’s skull and finishing it off.
An expression of immediate disgust came on his face when he realized what he’d just done. The feeling and look became more intense when he saw the blood covering him.
Sasuke climbed to his feet, crouching down and avoiding the half blind fox that lunged at him. With another Kunai he did an uppercut while it was still above him, driving the knife into the area under it’s chin, through the mouth and in to it’s head. With out hesitation he pulled the blade from the falling creature and ran over to a seemingly dazed Konohamaru who was watching him.
He could tell that the boy wasn’t partial to the act of killing, and he didn’t like the sight or feel of blood on him, especially if it wasn’t his own. Konohamaru found it almost amazing that Sasuke could do it so easily. “Are you alright?” Sasuke asked.
Konohamaru nodded but sounded unsure of himself, as if his response was forced. “Yeah, I’m ok.” It really was forced, but he seemed to have convinced himself that it sounded normal so Sasuke dropped it for now at lest. “What are these things?” He asked.
“Demon, there must be a lot of them around to do this.” Sasuke said, looking around just encase more of them were around. Konohamaru looked back toward the house where the three tailed fox had first attacked him, turning away when his eye fell on the to the woman that had been killed in such a brutal way. Sasuke looked where Konohamaru had and saw what he had seen.
“Come on.” Sasuke said, heading toward his house, which hopefully had survived. He stopped running, almost falling from stopping so suddenly. He stopped just in time, a Shrunken flew past his face with just inches to spare, crashing into a nearby tree. He looked to the source and found 3 Demon had just took down a shinobi of the village. As soon as he was down they swarmed him, biting and clawing at him. All he could do is fight futile and scream in pain.
Sasuke pulled the Shrunken out of the tree and threw it at the fox in the center, striking it in the back and knocking it down. All them turned toward him immediately, letting them get a view of the man that Konohamaru could have gone with out. His face had been mauled and eaten beyond any recognition, it was just an uneven mass of flesh covered in blood, much like the rest of his body.
Konohamaru flinched from the sight, drawing his last Kunai and got ready to fight. Luckily the man had left his mark on the demons, one of them was limping severely, another was slowed down by the many wounds over it’s body. The last was near death and nearly blind by the wound above his head pouring blood in to it’s eyes. Sasuke looked over them, knowing he couldn’t take all three and knowing that all of them would come after Konohamaru. So he tried to pick out the one most able to fight.
“You see the one with on the left with the limp?” Sasuke asked as the injured foxes came directly for Konohamaru.
“Yeah, I got it.” Konohamaru reassured him, going at it before it could attack him. Sasuke did the same, going for the other two and incepting them before they could reach the boy.
Sasuke sent a punch at the first one, spinning on his heel and kicking the second. The both stumbled back, one of them ran to the left and other two the right. The one that went to the left turned and came at him front the font while the other came from the back. The one from the back crouched down as if he was going to jump and the one in the front kept going as if he was going to ram him. Sasuke got ready for the attack but was completely caught of guard when the one behind him charged him instead, ramming his legs. While the one in front jumped, pouncing on his chest.
He had to admit that they were smart and worked well together, most likely why they had done some much damage to Konoha. Sasuke was sent flipping into the air by the weaken but still powerful strength of them. And landed painfully on his head, falling on to his back. The demons were ready, knowing when and how he was going to hit the ground and acting accordingly.
Both of them tried to bite his neck but Sasuke flipped on to his feet, bringing the Kunai in his hand down on one of the unexpectant wolf to the left, going right through it’s head and bringing it down. The second wolf with the head injury jumped back to avoid being hit next but wasn‘t nearly fast enough.
Konohamaru thrust the knife at the limping demon fox, but it still had enough speed to it so that it could dodge. Konohamaru tried again and missed, bring him dangerously close to the smart fox. It lent forward, easily able to bite Konohamaru…or lest it almost did. Konohamaru’s long scarf had gotten caught the nearby tree, making him fall and luckily avoid the blow. The boy rolled over on to his back only to be pinned down by the fox placing a paw on his chest.
He raised his hands in defense as the demon fox attempted to bite him, the blade in his hand unintentionally slashing it’s two front legs that were already injured. They were nearly severed, making the demon fall on top of the boy. With a loud whine and growl the demon cocked it’s head forward about to strike, when it ran into the Kunai that Konohamaru lifted in defense.
The knife went straight to the back of it’s throat and it pulled back, letting out a gargled whine as blood filled it’s throat and it slowly suffocated to death in front of Konohamaru. He desperately tried to push it off, to slip from under it but he couldn’t. He wasn’t strong enough, so the most he could do was look away. It made it hard to do when the blood from it’s mouth started dripping down on to him.
He kept trying, using all the strength he could muster but it was no use, it was just too heavy and it was pinning his hands down. He yelled in angry frustrations, with a small amount of desperation in his voice. The by far was the worst thing that ever happened to him, pinned down by and looking in the face of something that had just died on top of him, and was dripping blood over him.
He couldn’t take it anymore… He yelled once more, feeling an energy swell up side of him. It was Chakra, and he didn’t know what to do with it. It didn’t matter because it was working on it’s own, instilling itself around his body. Increasing his strength substantially. With one last yell, this time drawing Sasuke’s attention, he tossed the dead demon off of him. Sending it flying in to the air at amazing heights before it crashed nearby.
Konohamaru’s body was radiating a white aura from the Chakra, But all of it faded quickly. When Konohamaru was injured by that wooden stake and it went into his head, a small piece of it fractured his skull, and an even smaller piece got in to his brain. It could probably cause a lot of complications, but one of the effects of it was an increased amount of Chakra. None of which he could control or unleash for that matter unless he used that part of his brain.
“Konohamaru?” Sasuke looked at the boy questioningly, wondering if he had really just seen what he’d just seen.
But that didn’t matter, Konohamaru was struggling to keep a strait face while he hastily tried to whip the blood off face. “I’m ok.” Konohamaru getting to his feet, still trying to wipe away the last remaining drops of blood as if he couldn’t get it off fast enough.
He admired the fact that Konohamaru didn’t complain and tried to show strength and not let it get to him. But he was failing, still trying hard though. Sasuke didn’t show that much resilience when he was young, and in his mind that was most likely why he turned out the way he was now. He was hoping that if Konohamaru was resilient now that he’d turn out exactly the opposite of him. Though he knew it wouldn’t happen, if anything if he kept repressing emotions and things that he’d be 10 times worse then Sasuke could be now. That was the last thing he wanted.
Sasuke knelt down by Konohamaru, holding him by the shoulder and looking over him. It was even harder to keep a strait face with Sasuke this close to him. He want to just stop and tell Sasuke everything, but he couldn’t, this wasn’t the time or the place. “Your not alright.” Sasuke said plainly.
Konohamaru sighed. “I-I can deal with this.”
Sasuke shook his head and let go of him, “Come on.” he said abruptly.
Sasuke led him in the opposite direction, moving along the roof tops to avoid being spotted by the demons. After a minute or so they were out of the village and into the surrounding forest. Sasuke led him a little farther until they came to a hill over looking Konoha.
“Konohamaru, I don’t want you to have to ’deal with it ‘. I want you to show how you feel, I don’t want you to keep it down.” Sasuke said in his usual tone.
“No, I’m alright really.” Konohamaru said, protesting the extra attention.
“Damnit, your not alright! I’ve seen you.” Sasuke shouted.
“……”
“Stop holding it in!” Sasuke yelled even more fiercely, Konohamaru was trying to hold it in, but he couldn’t under Sasuke’s pressure.
“Ok! I hate it alright!” Konohamaru shouted back, dropping his head and letting the tears come freely now. “I had to keep going, or else everyone else was going to end up like that lady and that man. If I could help I had too.”
A sob escaped from Konohamaru and more tears fell to the ground. “I looked at the lady, I herd her screaming when one of those things was tearing her apart. I hated it! I hated seeing all of that blood, I hated….when I was stuck under that demon and I…I couldn’t do anything but look at it. All of that blood kept coming… It‘s still on me!”
Konohamaru was sobbing almost uncontrollably as he looked down at the blood covering his hands and arms. Sasuke wrapped his arms around the boy, holding him closely and forcing him to drop his hands. Konohamaru buried his face in to Sasuke’s chest, forcing himself to stop crying, no matter how hard it was once he had started.
“It’s alright Konohamaru…” Sasuke said softly.
“I didn’t want you to end up like one of them…”
“I wouldn’t--” On second through, maybe he would have if Konohamaru hadn’t knocked one of those demons off of him.
Sasuke let go of him, holding him firmly by the shoulders. “Stay here.”
“No! You can’t go back down there alone.” Konohamaru pleaded.
“You don’t need to be there.” Sasuke told him. “Stay here….for me.”
“…” Konohamaru fell back, sitting down and looking up at Sasuke who kissed him on his forehead and dashed back towards Konoha. He was just left there alone, staring at the blood on his hands. Finally he just dropped his arms and fell back, laying against a tree. He didn’t think it was possible but he felt worse now.
But he also felt something else…
That piercing feeling he got when Sasuke used his Sharingan on him. Konohamaru turned around and found himself looking up someone. He could almost see a vague familiarity to Sasuke in this person, but he was defiantly different. Their eyes were similar too, but still different.
Before Konohamaru could do anything, he felt Sharingan working inside of his mind. He wasn’t sure what was happening, but he knew he was drifting out of consciousness. “Who are you?” Konohamaru managed to ask, but he was gone before he could even think of getting a response.
