A ninja to remember

10.

Another fight?! Come on I just did one?!

Sora

The wind whipped around our ankles, the ground looking very hard at that moment. The menaces covered the floor and roots from the great trees stood out precariously.

The man we faced had half of his features melted off. How I don't know. His dark hung over the bad side, covering it from our view. His eyes were slits, coloured yellow, much like a snakes or a cats. His jaw unhinge, letting a long and slimy tongue hang loose. His sharp teeth dripped saliva onto the floor. I stood beside Sasuke, Sakura behind us and both of us in a fighting stance. I breathed heavily, feeling tired from the past fight but adrenaline coursed through my veins, hearing me up for the next one, just not as dramatic as the Dragon Ball characters. I mean geez they should calm down. They look like they're shitting themselves every time they charge up.

"I only want ssssassuke" said the man, dragging out the S in his name. I clenched my teeth as the mark on my neck convulsed and sent my muscles to tighten. Sasuke noticed and sent a concerned look my way. I shook my head slightly, telling him to drop it.

I looked around the area for Naruto, getting slightly worried that Drakon might have gotten him. I shook my head and concentrated on the situation in front of me.

I reigned the curse mark in as it tried to eat my chakra, voices whispering in my ear to give in, and I wasn't paying attention to what was happening when snakes wrapped around my torso, bringing me towards our enemy. I struggled and thrashed, sending saliva into his eyes, which his tongue came and absorbed. I scrunched my face in a disgusted face and thrashed more.

"You look like your mother" he muttered to me as Sasuke shouted my name. I gasped as I stared at his yellow eyes. The snakes tightened even more, making me cry out.
"W-what?! What did you say?" I whispered, feeling scared of this, this animal.

My eyes glaze over as the mark took control, spreading the designs of dragon wings over my body. I convulsed in agony as his snakes dropped to the floor and melted immediately. It took control of my body, turning my bright green eyes black. I roared and screamed as it took control sending me into a frenzy. I launched myself at him, growling immensely. His face donned one of fear and anguish. A fire was set in his eyes, anger, sadness, grief. I kept going, willingly letting it control me, giving me power.

I leapt back, unable to control myself. Sasuke stood behind me, trying to get me to stop but was unable. I leapt towards the snake again and lashed out with my shuriken.

"Don't you dare talk about my mother like you know her you bastard" I growled.

He flinched at the name I gave him as I swung, hitting him in the chest. I landed, smirking at my victory. I turned to face Sasuke. His face was in a picture of shock, terrified of me.

I tried to reached out to him but bars appeared in front of me.
"Tsk tsk tsk, no need. I will be taking care of you now" said a female voice echoing around me.

But I fought her, drawing my chakra back. My eyes changed again and I heard a yell of pain and a crunch of teeth. I turned and saw Sasuke, eyes and mouth open staring at the sky, with the snake mans teeth sinking into his skin.

My mouth opened as a scream came from behind me. I paid no attention and my anger grew in size again. I roared, letting the mark take control and my mind was locked in a prison again.

Sakura

Sora stood in front of me, her back bending the wrong way as black marks made their way over her body. She screamed loud, and harsh as my poor Sasuke fell to the floor and the snake sank through the tree.

Sora wasn't finished though, she leapt at him and, with her sharp canines bit his ear and ripped it clean off, sending red liquid splattering all over me and the boys. I had retrieved Naruto once he had flown backwards and landed. The man shrieked but continued his descent through the tree as Sora threw away his ear.

She finally collapsed, letting out short irregular breaths as the mark retreated again and her eyes went back to green.
I grabbed the three of them and hid inside a hollow, placing cloths on their foreheads to calm down their temperatures.

Naruto was passed out from exhaustion so he was going to be fine. Sasuke had a high fever and that mark was weird. I didn't know what to do. Sora was muttering in her feverish state, mumbling things every now and then. I wanted them to be ok and for everything to be alright. Urgh what would Sora do?
