Unforgivable

The Chakra Eater

Welcome back!~

 She doubted if she was dreaming or not for a second, her nightmares did tend to be really real and often horrifying. Even so, something told her she knew she was awake, no matter how realistic her nightmares were. She could never be creative enough to create the weird creature before her from her imagination.

"Oh shut up Kisame! I was sleeping when she broke the stupid roof and she got the upper hand on me! That's all." Deidara groaned, not showing his relief that someone else was here now. The sword began growling with a smile, causing a shiver to go up Harumi's spine. This must've been the most ridiculous thing she'd ever witnessed.

"Did you like the small taste you got of her chakra, Samehada?" the shark man -or Kisame- asked his spiky sword which he called Samehada. Harumi recognized the name of the sword, it belonged to one of the seven ninja swordsmen of the hidden mist. Of course! She immediately remembered and recognized Kisame's name! He was a criminal from the Hidden Mist and was wanted in all nations. Fear spread through her body when she registered what Kisame had just asked his sword. Her chakra? Did the sword absorb a bit of her chakra? Her hands fisted, that was dangerous, Kisame was dangerous, much more than Deidara who had yet to land a proper attack on her.

Only my power can work against that sword.

'I know, but I'm not sure I can keep myself safe using your power while fighting the sword, the shark man himself, and even blondie. Any other advice is welcome though,' she replied in her thoughts.

Once again, she was met with silence. It annoyed her, how is it he only conversed with her when he decided he wanted to? Did her opinion really mean nothing? She gritted her teeth and told herself she'd deal with it later. Her eyes connected with Kisame, and his annoying smirk was driving her insane. Apart from that, she knew she had to escape immediately. The adrenaline was beginning to set her body in full fight or flight mode, and it was leaning much more towards flight. She had to think rationally; where did Kisame come from? When she was sensing for chakras earlier on the bottom floor, she could only sense Deidara's. That means he only recently arrived.

It clicked in her head. One of the two doors in the dead end hallway must've been a stairwell. She had to get there, but how would she get past Kisame and Samehada? She was really running out of time and she didn't want Itachi to pop up any minute, because she'd be really screwed if he did. She was certain that she couldn't take them all on, and even if she did use her inner power, she couldn't guarantee it wouldn't only harm her body more in the process. It was a huge weakness, and she was still trying to figure out a way around it. Back to her issue at hand though, she could try to finish breaking the barrier from earlier, but she was too worried to have her back turned on Kisame.

Speaking of him, she had accidentally zoned out the conversation Kisame and Deidara were having, but soon brought herself back into the present while still trying to devise a plan.

"No, she didn't even bother asking why she was here. She just ran and tried breaking the barrier while fighting me," Deidara explained.

Kisame sighed and nodded his head, turning back to Harumi and smirking when he noticed the fire burning behind her eyes as she looked at him intensely. He had heard there were only two survivors in the Uchiha massacre. Sasuke Uchiha, Itachi's little brother, and a girl. He had always wanted to meet the only one who escaped his partner's clutches, and he wasn't all that surprised that Deidara was having a hard time with her. He already knew she must've been strong if she escaped from Itachi, and it only confirmed it when they were ordered to retrieve her.

"Listen, I don't know who you guys are, and I honestly hope I don't need to find out. I know Itachi brought me here with some sick intentions in mind, but I don't know why I'm still alive and I frankly don't care, to be honest." She looked around. "How about we just go our separate ways so we can all leave here with all our body parts intact?" She was stalling, and hoped they wouldn't notice. She could feel the sweat leaking down her body as her brain was in overload while she tried to figure out the best escape plan.
