A Place To Call Home [OC x Akatsuki Story]

Making Kakuzu Proud Part 34

The sight of the dark murky water which was alongside the path of the sewer blurred as Tila, Hidan and Kakuzu pursued their target as though in a fleeting game of cat and mouse.

"Hurry up Hidan! She's getting away" Tila jeered playfully as she yelled back to Hidan who was only running a few feet behind her and Kakuzu.

Tila, Hidan and Kakuzu chased hastily after the blonde cloud ninja, cloaks billowing behind them as they ran down the side paths of the underground sewer, now only metres from their target. The archway at the end of the long underground waterway came closer, the Cloud Nin had only disappeared through the arch for a moment before Hidan slung his synth through the archway ahead in an attempt to catch her.

Tila, Hidan and Kakuzu slowed down and took a step into another large cavernous room, Hidan retracted his synth which had missed and looked over towards the girl and smirked.

"You're fucked now," Hidan said as he readied himself to strike again. Surprisingly the Kunoichi from the cloud just gave a coy smile.

"I've got you right where I want you, there is no way I can let you Akatsuki members escape now."

"I want to fight her" Tila announced as she took a step forward, she was now standing on top of the water facing the two-tailed Jinchuriki.

"Fine by me" Hidan sighed, Kakuzu just nodded and watched intently as their target started to turn into the beast form of the two tails.

Hidan and Kakuzu watched intently as the enormous blue cat breathed in deeply then blew out an enormously massed fireball in Tila's direction. Hidan winced at the idea of it colliding as he watched the large fireball head towards Tila quickly, Hidan didn't understand why she was just standing there. All of a sudden Tila raised her hands and started to absorb the entire fireball as it made contact.

Just as the last of the fireball had been absorbed by Tila the two-tails had sent out a consecutive fireball which was heading her way quickly. Tila continued to hold out her palms, pointing them directly at the red ball of flame which was approaching fast and suddenly forcefully expelled a blue fireball that matched the two-tails attack in size.

Both fireballs collide and a massive rumble of blue and red fire shook the dark cavern dangerously for a moment and then began to die down. Only a second before the fire had completely disappeared, the two tails jumps through the remaining flames and ran in Tila's direction.

Tila weaves a few simple hand signs at the speed of light causing thunderclouds to circulate around her body, encasing her in a sphere of dark cloud with lightning ripples throughout it. The two-tails swipes a sharp-clawed paw at the dark cloud in an attempt to knock Tila back and dispel the cloud but a large flash of lightning booms and cracks blocking the cat's paw and repelling it back slightly.

Tila starts sending thick zaps of lightning from within her surrounding cloud at the enormous cat, one shock. Two shocks. The third missed and the two-tails had now backed up making some distance between them. Tila let down her cloud of lightning and watched the two tails carefully as she growl in a low tone.

"If you come willingly it would be a lot easier for you, Yugito" Tila calls out but Yugito didn't respond. The massive blue cat opened its mouth and started to accumulate a large amount of blue and red Chakra. Tila watched carefully as the chakra started to accumulate into a large purple ball.

'I wonder if I can absorb that?' Tila thought to herself but before she had time to decide the massive purple ball had been sent her way, she ran and jumped out of the way only missing it by inches. The cavern shook even more violently than before as the tailed beast bomb hit the wall sending rock debris flying off everywhere.
