Falling in Love with a Demon

Chapter Two: So I guess I have to fight you...Bummer

 Where the hell did he go? I looked around for him, but he was nowhere to be seen. I know he was still out there because why would he introduce himself if he only was going to just vanish. Moving quickly, I back flip out-of-the-way, narrowly missing the downwards strike from his sword. I jumped into the air and threw some shuriken at him, which surprisingly hit him, but Zabuza turned into a puddle of water.

A water clone! Shit, where's the real one then? I felt someone behind me so I performed a quick substitution jutsu, and hid somewhere in the trees masking my chakra. I need to think, and come up with some type of plan fast. I knew he was just toying with me. He could have killed me in a heartbeat if he wanted to. I need to think. Maybe If I distract him and I could try to get the upper hand. I quickly performed hand seals for the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu and after a smoky small pop, there in front of me was five exact clones of me.

"Hiya, Boss. What's up?" one asked with a smile.

"Yeah. What do you need?" Another asked a little more quietly. I looked at them all with a serious face and they soon got quiet.

"I'm in a bit of a situation here. There's a big bad assassin with a giant sword that wants to kill me, and I need you guys for backup or as some type of distraction. Maybe if you guys get him away from his sword long enough I might have a greater chance of beating him." I stated firmly. I looked at each one of them and they nodded in agreement. Feeling a familiar chakra prescense behind me, I turned and saw that Zabuza was standing causally in the middle of the clearing.

All of us leaped out of the tree and ran towards him. Four of the clones went for him with their fists, while me and a fifth one stayed a little back. I nodded at her and she smirked back.

"Fire Style: Fiery Phoenix Jutsu!" We shouted after performing a series of quick hand signs. Large flames in the shape of a huge fiery phoenix flew from our clasped hands. The two birds joined together and flew in a twisted dance to where Zabuza was. I was really hoping that this time I had managed to get him. Naive, I know. The fire extinguished after a few seconds and instead of seeing a charred and mangled body there was absolutely nothing in front of me. I scowled in anger.

"Where did he go now?" I thought. Suddenly, the clone that was to my left disappeared in a cloud of smoke. I could see Zabuza and his sword faintly through the haze. Quickly, I twisted my body to the right, narrowly avoiding the sword crashing down to where I was before. Using the momentum, I grabbed the hilt of the sword and I turned away and gave him powerful kick filled with chakra to the jaw. That managed to push him away from his sword, which was exactly what I was hoping for. My hands flew into another series of hand signs.

"Earth Style: Earth Prison Jutsu." Slamming my hand down, palm downwards into the ground causing a dozen earth columns to spring out of the ground and surround the sword encasing it in a medium earth cage. Breathing deeply I pushed myself off the ground and pulled out a kunai out of my pouch.

"Well you managed to separate me and the Kubikiribōchō. I'm a little impressed." Zabuza said as he got up and brushed dirt off his shoulder. I scoffed at this.

"You got to admit you're more than just a little impressed. You're pretty impressed. I mean you probably thought I wasn't going to last this long. Well, I guess I surprised you." I taunted as I gripped the knife tighter. He chuckled darkly.

"You humor me." he laughed mockingly. I scowled and ran towards him in anger. He picked out a kunai lazily out of his pocket and as I got closer I could see him smirking. Our kunais clashed with a ring and I threw my arm out in a punch. Zabuza easily caught it and threw me backwards. I would've hit the ground really hard, but at the last moment I sprang into a backflip. This guy was really getting on my last nerve. Not giving up, I ran at him again and managed to get a swipe in with her kunai, before we were in an intense battle of dodging, punching, and kicking. It was like a deadly dance. A wrong move could have been your last, probably my own. Somehow he managed to knock me off of my feet, grabbed my throat in a type vice like grip, and threw me hard on the ground.

"Well, looks like I got you pinned." he taunted as he held on tightly to my neck. I started to claw fiercely at his hands in attempt to try and get him to stop cutting off my air supply. I started gasping for breath and thrashing around, any way to get out of his chokehold. My vision was starting to blur and I had to do something fast. I knew it was a cheap move but I had to do it, so I swiftly moved my leg and kicked him where the sun don't shine. Immediatley he went down and I was able to escape his choke hold. Taking in greedy deep breaths I took the opportunity to run over, grab my bag, and hightail it out of there. I could hear him scrambling to get up, and I knew I had to kick it into high gear. I was almost out of there to, when I felt a searing and pricking sensation fill my body, especially in my neck.

Clutching my neck, I fell to the ground and saw black. I'm pretty sure the last thing I saw was a pretty pissed off Zabuza, glaring at me with this intensely hateful stare.

AN: I don't own Naruto because if I did Zabuza would still be alive. This is my first time writing a fight scene so please try to ignore the suckiness. I promise I will try to get better at them. Keep reading and reviewing. Third chapter will be up shortly... Thanks for reading!
