Shout

[49] Mangekyo

"Foolish." Her voice whispers in his ear, surprising him.

Kagami jumps into the air, avoiding his sight. She brings her leg up, twisting her body around to smack her shin into his head. He ducks, avoiding her leg but reaches up in time to grab the back of her shirt and toss her away from him and towards her brother. Kakashi grabs her easily, wrapping his arms around her as she lands flat in his chest. She grunts in his arms lightly, looking down to avoid the red eyes of the Uchiha.

"You're the one thats being foolish, Kagami." He places her on her feet.

She puffs her cheeks out and crouches down, grabbing her katana in her hand and making eye contact with Kisame.

"I'll kill you fishsticks."

"What did you say, little girl?"

That's when the fighting started. Kagami's outburst was surprising to those present but they can understand why. She's been cooped up in a hospital, and it is well known that she spent most of her Root days killing people. So figuratively speaking, she's itching to kill. Kagami shoots forward, disappearing instantly. But Kisame is ready. He already has his sword at the ready, unwrapped and looking dangerous. She dances around him, her steps disturbing the water as she spins. He lunges out, effectively getting a stab at her. But instead of hitting her, he hits a sort of silver barrier, its chakra being eaten instantly.

She slices back at him, creating a small cut on his cheek. He frowns at her as she bounces away lightly, back towards her brother who is having a rest as Asuma and Kurenai rush at Itachi. Then he notices it. A slight hesitation in her step.

'Is she injured?'

He watches her closely, trying to pinpoint where her weakness is.

'Not her legs or hips, she is sure of her steps, it's when she comes close in contact with someone.'

He grins and swings his sword in front of her, purposely just missing her by a millimeter or two, but even though she is watching the sword carefully, she inches back just a fraction.

'So its minute, not a big problem. It's her eyesight.'

He sits back and chooses to let Itachi take the reins, he has useful information now and that's enough for him. Information can be better than the kill sometimes. Once again, Itachi aims for Kakashi, he has the best chance at knocking either of them out, but once again, Kagami gets in the way, jumping forward and pushing off her brothers chest, aiming to smack into Itachi, but instead Itachi ducks down and makes eye contact with her.

s.h.o.u.t.

Itachi stares at Kagami, unimpressed.

"You shouldn't have done that, Kagami." He stares her down as she hangs from her restraints within the genjutsu.

She takes a moment to adjust to the new domain. Its dusted in red, the air seemingly heavier.

"You know me Itachi-nii." She gives him a weak smile, not ready for what's about to happen next, "I like to break the rules sometimes."

"I never guessed you would put yourself in the way of someone else." The man steps forward, kunai at the ready.

"You know why."

"Hn."

s.h.o.u.t.

A split second. That's all the time that passed while Kagami was in the genjutsu. But as Itachi let go of said jutsu, Kagami's real body, which is still flashing through the air over her brother, collides with him, causing him to stumble backward and grab onto her now unconscious body. Itachi holds onto her body tightly, hoping that he may be able to take her away from the dangers of Konoha.
