Lost (Updated)

65

The day of the bet had come, and Sora wandered back to the hotel. As she was heading there, she stopped in her tracks. Someone was standing in front of her. He looked to be around her age. He had short dark blue hair and blue eyes, and looking at him reminded her a lot of Tatsuo.

"excuse me," Sora said as she went to walk past him.

"I'm here to collect you for Orochimaru," He said, grabbing her arm.

Sora froze upon hearing those words. She looked back at the man whose face was blank, and he looked at her with no emotion. Her eyes narrowed as she pulled her arm away from him and jumped back on edge.

"What do you mean by that," Sora growled.

"Today is the day he will get Tsunade to heal him, and you being here has also made it convenient to take you. It's a two birds, one stone kind of deal," he said, stepping closer to her.

Sora observed him, her body tense. She had a feeling Orochimaru was around, but having it confirmed still scared her. She looked around. She had to get to the others as soon as possible if this was the case. She turned on her heel, running. The boy sighed as he ran after after keeping up with her. Sora growled as he followed her. She wanted to lose him first, but it seemed more complicated than she thought. He was keeping up with her easily, but that only made sense because he was Oroachimaru's pawn.

"Who are you," Sora said nervously, deciding she should at least get some information.

"Mitsuo," He said.

This struck a chord with Sora, who recognised that name. That was Tatsuo's son's name, but he was dead right. But this guy looked a lot like Tatsuo. She looked back at him, a lump forming in her throat. There was no way, right? Then again, she wouldn't put it past Orochimaru to do something like this. She looked ahead, growing more nervous. She had to get to them as quickly as possible.

Sora stopped running and landed on the ground. She spun around, performing hand signs, planting her hands against the ground. The second Mitsuo's feet hit the ground, ice pillars shot up, trapping him. His eyes widened as he looked at the ice and then at Sora, shock coursing through his body.

"Are you a... Hisha?" He questioned shock in his voice. He thought they were all dead.

"Didn't Orochimaru tell you who you were chasing? I am Sora Hisha, the last living Hisha," Sora snapped angrily.

She turned on her heel and ran away while he stayed stunned, watching her run away in the ice prism. There was still one alive, and she had the kekkei genkai. Did that mean she could be the one he had waited so long for? The one he was meant to protect?

Sora ran through the town, looking for any trace of them. At times like this, she wished Aisura was here to find them for her, but he wasn't, and she cursed herself. She had to find them before something bad happened. As she ran around, two huge snakes suddenly appeared in the distance. Sora's eyes narrowed, her heart pounding in her chest, and she wondered if she was really about to run towards the person she had been running away from this whole time.

She shook her head, steeling her nerves once again as she ran in that direction; she wouldn't stand idly by again; she would make Saratobi sensei proud and stop running from her fears. She ran in that direction, hoping to get there in time and help. But she was still afraid she would be a burden with her current strength. Sora ran as fast as she could, watching the snakes be sunk into something, and she was nearly there. She stopped as she saw the scenes before her: Jiraiya was fighting Orochimaru, Naruto was on the ground, and Shizune was also out. Tsunade was shaking in fear.

Sora looked to See Kabuto, and she felt a strong urge to run, but she took a deep breath as she jumped forward, performing hand sighs, her hand surrounded by ice. He began walking towards Tsunade, and Sora appeared behind him, her fist connecting with his back. He turned around, shocked, as Sora glared at him, hate in her eyes.

"Seems Mitsuo failed to capture you," he said with a coky smile, but that smile soon vanished.

He felt the cold spreading through him from her fist, and he quickly jumped back, the ice around her fist dispersing. Sora glared at him as he lightly panted, not expecting that from her. Whenever she was faced with them, she always froze up in fear and did whatever they said.

"What happened to the compliant girl," Kabuto questioned.

"I just realised no matter what I do, how obedient I am, you will hurt whoever you want no matter the promises you made. So, instead of listening to your lies, I've decided to protect them," Sora growled.

"You think you can protect them," He laughed.

Sora took a deep breath, taking a stance, her eyes never leaving her. Kabuto also focused on her, knowing she was different now and more dangerous. But no matter what, they would find a way to bend her to their will, no matter who they had to hurt.

"You couldn't protect the Hokage or your brother," He said, smiling.

Sora tensed but took a deep breath. She placed her hand on the dango charm, refusing to lose control. She turned around to look at Tsunade and Shizune.

"Where's Tatsuo," She questioned.

"He was drugged with Jiraiya, so he stayed at the hotel to wait for you to return," Shizune said weakly.

Sora looked back at Kabuto so she didn't have him to help her if she lost control or overdid it. Meaning she couldn't mess up. Kabuto ran at Sora, chakra scalpels around his hands. Sora made an ice wall to block him and jumped away, keeping her distance from him. He again focused on her, and Sora took a deep breath. He was underestimating her still, which was good. She redid her jutsu ice covering her hand as he ran at her. Kabuto went to hit her, but she ducked under him, her fist connecting with his gut. He quickly jumped back, glaring at her, realising that her skill had improved.

She was doing another jutsu, and he ran at her, hoping to strike her before it finished. As he was about to reach her, a circle of ice surrounding her spikes shot out from it. He jumped back, gaining a cut on his cheek.

"you're weak, Sora; that won't beat me," He said.

Her eyes narrowed. She knew this wasn't enough. She was preparing for the next step.

"Do you perhaps not want to kill me," Kabuto said.

"Of course, I want to kill you. You two have done nothing but take away the people I care about. I want nothing more than to kill you so you can never hurt anyone again," Sora snapped.

Naruto looked at her, shocked to see the hatred in her eyes. He knew nothing about what was happening or her relationship with these two, but from the way she spoke, she had nothing but disdain for them.

"You won't kill us," Kabuto mocked.

To use the Korigan, you don't need any hand seals; you just need the intent behind what you want to do. Your imagination is the only limit.

She took a deep breath as she remembered the book. Her eyes suddenly changed as ice spikes shot up around Kabuto, his eyes wide as he was priced by them multiple times. Blood pooled around him as he looked at Sora, her hair swaying in the breeze, her Korigan locked onto him, not a sliver of mercy in them. The ice pushed in further, and he felt blood come to his mouth as he smiled.

Sora's brows frowned, feeling the strain, having only increased her time by five seconds in her training. She deactivated her Korigan, the ice melting as she did, Kabuto falling to his knees, bleeding profusely. But before she could register what was happening, he ran at her, His chakra scalpels around his hands again, hitting her chest. Her eyes widened as she collapsed to the ground, struggling to breathe. She didn't know how he was standing after that attack.

"You have improved, but you still lack control. You hit me, but it wasn't a killing blow. I was able to avoid any of the spikes hitting my vital spots. After we are done here, we will take you back," he said.

Sora panted, cursing herself. It should have worked; she should have gotten him. But she couldn't do anymore, struggling to breathe at the moment. His foot connected with her, and Sora flew back, stopping next to Tsunade. Sora growled, glaring up at Kubto. Fear settled in. At this rate, she couldn't do anything, and they would take her with them, which terrified her.
