It was an ambush. I was being surrounded. I didn't have time to call for him. I had to fight.

Steel clashed against steel before I could allow myself a small window to step back. It wasn't enough time to escape but enough time to use a jutsu I knew he would see.

With every mission came risk but this was unexpected. I had finally found a way to contact my backup. It was like a siren call that brought him forward. Asuma emerged from the tree line ready to fight alongside me.

We were an intimidating duo. Where one lacked the other prevailed. We were often sent on missions together due to our chemistry in teamwork. It lead to chemistry beyond the field but nothing that had been acted upon.

Asuma was a flirt and I took everything he said with a grain of salt. But right now I needed him.

I needed my partner in battle. To help me to see what I wasn't. To help us find a way out of this impending situation.

I couldn't focus on Asuma as I was being attacked. I could only trust he would be there. I had fought with him enough to know where he would be and what he wanted to do. I positioned my body to draw my opponent to where I knew Asuma was headed.

Like clock work we fought our enemies together one after the other.

Eventually I could catch my breath as I looked down at the lifeless body in front of me.

"(Y/N)." Asuma called my name as he ran towards me. "What the fuck was that?"

"I don't know." I was as stunned as he was that we had been ambushed.

"Are you okay?" He looked down my body for any sign of injury.

"Yeah." I breathed out trying to find my bearings again. "I think so. You?" I questioned him.

"I'm okay tiger." Before Asuma could take a closer step towards me a kunai shot past my head. Scrapping my cheek before landing in the tree behind me. Asuma and I immediately took a defensive position facing where the weapon was thrown.

Around the tree one more enemy emerged. Ready to take us both. Our attention was so fixed on the enemy ahead that neither of us noticed one coming from behind. Before I could attack my body was trapped. A kunai held at my neck to stabilize my fight and my hands held behind me. I tried to shove off whoever was behind me but their hold only tightened. The kunai nicked my neck.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you pretty girl." His gross voice suffocated my ears. Asuma hadn't noticed his presence yet. He quickly took down the one responsible for scraping my cheek. He fought with a fever I had never seen before. Like an animal trapped in a cage and he was finally being set free. It was the fastest I had ever seen him take someone down.

"Asuma." I shouted out when I knew it was safe to call his attention back to me. My body twisted to try to fight the hold the larger man had on me. The kunai only sunk slight deeper into my neck. I knew if I struggled anymore the kunai would cut too deep and become fatal against my jugular. But my instinct was to fight regardless. I couldn't help the feeling of wanting to be protected by the man a couple yards ahead of us.

Asuma turned to look at me with panic in his eyes. When his eyes sank on the man behind me something new took over his body. A primal instinct to protect. It was more intense than I had ever see before. Even though I had just thought the same thing moments before when he attacked the one who originally hurt me. But this look in his eyes only deepened as he took in how I was being threatened.
