Naruto Uzumaki's Crazy Wild Adventures (On Hold)

Jakotsu vs. Taka and Kagome

"So then, shall we begin?" Jakotsu smirked. He swung his blade down and it extended towards Taka and Kagome. The two quickly dodged the attack. Taka stayed on the right side of the hallway while Kagome was on the left. Then the blade went after Kagome as she dodged it. Taka quickly grabbed her when it nearly it her mid-section. Later the blade went back to Jakotsu.

"That's quite a blade there." Taka said.

"Why thank you. It's a beauty alright." Jakotsu replied, "Jakotsutō is its name."

"You named a sword after yourself?" Kagome asked, brow arched.

"Why yes. A beautiful sword must have a beautiful name." Jakotsu said.

"I find that weird." Taka said with a deadpan expression.

"Oi!" Jakotsu yelled with an irk mark on his temple. Then he took a deep breath and leered at the two genin in front of him. "No matter, let's get back to having fun."

He swung his blade down and it extended towards them once more. Taka and Kagome dodged the blade as much as they could while it started to destroy the hallway. They dodged again when it came back to Jakotsu.

"That's all you're going to do? Dodge?" Jakotsu questioned.

"No," Taka answered. "Just thinking."

"'Thinking?'" Jakotsu asked, brow arched. "How can you think as you dodge?"

"That's for me to know and you to find out." Taka replied.

When Taka was thinking, he thought about which jutsu to use against this mercenary in front of them. They could use a fire technique but that would cause a fire in the hallway and get attention from the other bodyguards. So there was four other elements he could use: wind, water, lightning, and earth. If he uses wind, water, or earth, Jakotsu would just easily dodge. So lightning might be his only choice. Then he made hand signs for a lightning technique.

"Kuroi Kaminari!" Taka said as his whole body was encased in black lightning chakra.

"Interesting." Jakotsu licked his lips. He swung his sword forward again as Taka just stood there. When the blade was just inches away from his face, Taka disappeared and blade went back to Jakotsu. Jakotsu gasped at what had just happened.

'Where did he go?' Jakotsu thought as he looked all around him. Then another thought him. 'Wait, where's that blonde girl?'

It soon hit him, literally. Kagome punched him from the right side of him and he slammed into the wall. He grunted at the impact the girl sent him as he tried to get out of the hole.

"Not bad, little girl." Jakotsu acknowledged.

"Thank you." Kagome smirked as she got into fighting position. Jakotsu was finally able to stand from the impact and walked out of the hole.

"But you'll have to do better than that." Jakotsu smirked as he raised his sword. Then he swung it down, the blades heading towards Kagome. Just like Taka, she also disappeared. Soon she was above Jakotsu and threw three kunai at him. However he dodged and the blade went back to Kagome. Taka came up behind him and tried to slash him with his lightning. But the blade nicked him in the shoulder. Taka jumped away from him and placed his arm over his wound as the blade went back to Jakotsu. Kagome stood right next to Taka and knelt down to help cover his wound.

"Well, I only managed to hit you and you're already on your knees." Jakotsu taunted. "Face it brats, my blade will be soaked in your innocent blood." Jakotsu paused. "Besides, do you even have the will to kill me?"

"Yes, I do." Taka replied with narrowed eyes. Jakotsu swung the blade again and the two dodged. But then Kagome ran towards Jakotsu, which took him by surprise. Suddenly she jumped to the side and the blade impaled into Jakotsu's left shoulder. Jakotsu shrieked in pain as he went down to his knees with blood dripping from his shoulder. He looked up at Kagome with malice in his eyes.

"You brats!" Jakotsu growled as he slowly stood up while holding his shoulder. At that moment, Taka came towards Jakotsu, covered in his black lightning chakra and pierced his fist into Jakotsu's chest and out his back where his heart was located in the middle. Silence entered the hallway as Jakotsu fell into his knees again. His eyes rolled to the back of his head as Taka withdrew his hand from Jakotsu's chest and let him fall to the floor with a thud. Soon Taka's black lightning chakra faded away as he panted heavily. Kagome slowly walked towards him as he gazed at Jakotsu's lifeless body.

"Taka?" Kagome asked. Her voice brought him out of his trance as he turned to her. He looked at her with wide eyes and glanced down at his right hand that was coated in blood.

"Kagome, I-" Taka trailed off as he started to fall forward. Kagome quickly caught him and held him close as she fell to her knees.

"I-I ki-killed him." Taka stuttered as he trembled. "I killed him, Kagome."

"I know, Taka." Kagome stated as she gently stroke his hair, trying to calm him down while he wrapped his arms around her waist. "You had no other choice."

She continued this action until Taka began to cease his trembling. He slowly unwrapped his arms from her waist and sat up on his knees.

"Do you think we'll be able to accomplish this mission without killing, Kagome?" Taka questioned.

"I don't know." Kagome answered. "But we have to finish this mission before we ask any more questions about it."

Taka wiped his tears away and nodded at Kagome.

"You're right." Taka said as he stood up and held his hand out to Kagome. She grabbed ahold of his hand and he pulled her up to her feet. Then Taka walked over to Jakotsu and picked up his blade and it's sheath. He swung the blade up and the blades went back into one. He put the blade back in its sheath and placed the belt that carried it on his back. He turned to Kagome. "Let's get going."

"Right!" Kagome said. Then the two ran down the hallway, unaware who their next opponent might be.
