Divided Minds

16

She tapped her foot repeatedly against the concrete floor, waiting. The fight had started only seconds ago but the sound of people approaching were zero. Minetas's wailing increased he patted his bloodied head.

"Shut it", she finally snapped as she stepped closer to the bomb and a wall of fire began to burn

"Easy for you to say, you're not bleeding out of your head",he whined as walked up to the fire wall

"True but I doubt any hero starts crying in the middle of battle because he's hurt", she pointed out,"Anyway stay on guard, they could be arriving any second. Don't get in the way."

"And skip the chance to tie up a hot babe",he said as saliva dripped down his mouth

She couldn't help but give him a look of disgust. Suddenly a small ball rolled in and stopped by the doorway. A small red blinking light told her enough. She jumped back, grabbing mineta by his outfit and pulling him along. In time as the doorway blew up, causing debris to fly everywhere and smoke rose in the room.

"Mineta g-", she began

"Girls!",he yelled eagerly as he ran blind sided to the incoming enemies

"Wait-!", she began preparing to jump up

However as Mineta ran the smoke cleared up and an unsuspecting momo came face to face with him. As he jumped for a moment, for the briefest of seconds she had faith in him. That was until he crashed head on and onto her chest. She was sure he'd get her but maybe because he'd never so close to a female chest, he passed out and fell to the ground. An expression of pure bliss.

She held back the urge to burn him right then and there. However Mineta passed out and gave Momo the chance to tape him up, leaving her alone. Charging up her flames, she began to rapidly send flying fire balls.

She leaped out of the way, and began to run around the room. Her flames followed her with each step, however out of nowhere a tarp appeared. She hid under it, as her flames landed on it, she realized it was fire resistant.

She jumped back not wanting to know what she was making under the tarp. The wall of fire around the bomb began to rise taller now, almost completely engulfing it. Yet leaving it unharmed, Momo made no move however from under the tarp.

On the floor where all the dust from the debris had settled, visible footprints appeared. Getting closer to the bomb in an instant her mind connected the dots, and she shot a wave of fire.

"Momo!",hakagure cried out as the visible foot prints scrambled away

In an instant her flames were muffled as the tarp flew at her blocking her target. For the briefest of moments that her view was blocked and her flames grew wild. As she leaped from under the tarp before she could be trapped under it.

Just as she had avoided the tarp, Momo stood in front of her with what appeared to be a slightly giant fire extinguisher.

"You think mere fire extinguisher will help?", she asked bemused as her flames practically consumed the whole room.

She could make out the visible sweat on the girl's face while she remained unfazed. Her gaze would occasionally travel towards the debris on the ground. Keeping tabs on the invisible girl, it was good her flames were on her as well making it difficult for them to touch her.

"Give in", she called out raising her hand up, "The fire won't damage me but it will to you."

It was true, while she was unaware of the fire and heat itself. She knew that at this rate even the floor was too hot for Hagakure to keep walking on. She refused to cave but she didn't want to throw the match either. She needed them to realize.
