True Bonds ~Book 3 of Kakashi LS~

Chapter 22

*A/N- top left is the main idea for her Susanoo*

Hira watched them engage with their weapons, the loud metal against metal sounds made shiver run up and down her spine. Her younger brother and her husband duelling it out right in front of her making her scared for either side so she looked down at the red head still about to pass out to try and distract her from the battle ahead not wanting to cry all over again in her life. "How is she doing?" Hira asked, speaking to the Haruno girl for the first time since this whole chaos erupted. Sakura glanced up from where she looked at her glowing green hands to face her previous Sensei. "She'll be okay, she's almost fully healed." She mumbled wrapped up in her thought before l9oking back at Sasuke's new teammate, or is it old now?

Hira sighed deeply, if it was in disappointment of the short term conversation or in relieve that Karin would survive... she wouldn't know. Her eyes fell back to the two fighting. "Shouldn't you be helping Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked glancing at the ravenette spotting her eyelids shutting and her chest raised up before falling down as she sighed deeply once more. "I...." she stopped to open her eyes and look at the youngest Uchiha, "He's still my brother..." she simply said and the Haruno hirl nodded in understanding, she felt so stupid for asking the older sister to fight her own blood. Hira suddeny launched away from the two behind her making the wind rapidly whip the pink and red hair. Sakura turned around sharply surprised by the sudden wind and dust flying all over, but what she found equally frightened and amazed her.

Hira was soaring through the sky and as she did translucent blue chakra started wrapping around her to form an icy blue translucent woman. Her hair was long and pulled into a high ponytail with senbon needles protruding from the hair in an 'X' form. She had a long sash holding her off the shoulder kimono at the her midriff in a darker blue. The icy blue female looked quite intimidating, like Hira does before you get to know her. The eyes of this Susanoo seemed to stare deep into your soul with its almost white blue eyes.

As it flew to Kakashi, it quickly opened up a bit to let him into the protective barrier as the Purple Susanoo arrow from Sasuke went flying in their direction. Kakashi would've used his Mangekou Sharing if it hadn't been for Hira's shocking revelation of her very own Susanoo. The Ice Queen as Hira liked to call her grabbed the arrow and thew it to the side letting it head to a nearby cliff before disappearing. Sasuke stared shocked by the jutsu infront of him, not only does his sister have both the Sharingan and Byakugan, but she was lucky enough to be one of the few who possess the Susanoo?! His surprised features quickly turned hard as he became overly angry at the fact that his sister probably had more power than him... that he was still weak compared to her, he was about to growl out in anger at her when her calm voice entered his ears.

"That's enough now Sasuke... you achieved your goal, what's the point of all this?" She stood in front of Kakashi, anger practically pouring out of her pores and Kakashi knew this that was why he didn't interrupt their conversation, he just stared at her before looking up and around at her light blue Susanoo that had encased him into its cold but strong shell. She always seemed to have an Ace up her sleeve that not even he knew about and it was one of the many things he loved about her... she had the ability to always keep him on his toes... to keeo anyone on their toes. He would always reflect on the time they spent together and there was never a dull moment, never plain and boring. Sure they had lazy days, but even then it was fun and intoxicating.

"You knew about the truth about Itachi, didn't you?" Sasuke practically growled, but Hira didn't react not even slightly faltering. She just stared at him, trying to process if it was that truth he was referring to or maybe some lie that he was told because surely he wouldn't know about what Itachi's true intentions were as only a select few knew and was sworn to secrecy. "ANSWER ME!" He yelled already knowing her answer by her silence. "It wasn't my story to tell." She simply answered making Sasuke furious, he wanted an apology, just something... he felt guilty for hating his brother for this long just to know that it was all an illusion pulled on him, hidden with lies.

"You should've told me... you should've told me before!" He yelled and this time Hira flinched not in fright by his yelling but from the sadness and hurt lacing the undertones of his voice. She felt guilty betraying him like that, but she made a promise to Itachi and one she would've taken to her grave if it didn't happen to come out. She was still clueless to how he found out. But she suddenly want to spring forward as she saw Sasuke clutching his eyes in pain whilst his purple Susanoo warrior unravelled. Kakashi clutched her arm this time knowing she shouldn't go near him at the moment. He could tell that their was tention between the two just by hearing the very confusing conversation the two had and Sasuke being unstable at the moment might just put Hira more at risk so he held her close to him ready to defend off any attacks.

"Sasuke!" She had yelled out worried for his wellbeing even if he hates her, even if he was her enemy at the moment... she still loved and cared for her little brother. The one she swore to protect only to have failed so many times. The last few minutes seemed to move into seconds as it went into hyperdrive. Sakura had run along the roof of the bridge whilst Sasuke was distracted Hira tried to stop the pinkette she spotted but Kakashi's hold on her was firm and hard to break. She knew Sakura was acting carelessly and if she yelled out to her to stop then she would just put the pinkette in danger. Sakura jumped down ready to strike only to stop and cry, she still loved him, but this time Sasuke noticed her and went to kill her as he spun around. "SASUKE NO!" Hira yelled as she and Kakashi started running towards them to try and interfere, Kakashi had let his wife go when he spotted Sakura behind Sasuke. Hira acted quick as the two ran, she took out a kunai and threw it at the one Sasuke was holding ready to kill Sakura, luckily Naruto jumped in right on time holding Sakura as he slid away. The kunai Sasuke held also got knocked out of his hand by Hira's kunai, her kunai landed in the water with a loud splash whilst Sasuke's lodged itself into the cliff wall.

Hira couldn't help but sigh in relief at the sight of the blonde, thinking that maybe he had more luck at getting through to Sasuke. Kakashi and Hira still kept going, up until they reached Sasuke. Whilst Kakashi went to punch him, to which he dodged, Hira jumped over him to get to Naruto and Sakura. This time she was going to keep the girl still, even if she has to restrain her with Chakra chains. All she has done so far is cause more problems and almost getting herself killed... TWICE!
