Orochimaru's Daughter

Finally

"Hitomi."

I didn't respond to him, I picked up Hayami and took her to the edge of the room. I laid her against the wall, "Even if it kills me. I'll make sure he won't leave this room. For us, Riku, and anyone else he's hurt." I kissed her forehead and stood.

"Hitomi. Come stand in front of me like an adult. We'll fight like adults," I didn't like the way he was basically chastising me.

"I won't fight you respectfully; when you've done nothing to earn it," my voice was low but I know he heard me.

"A brat like always I see."

I turned towards him so he could see my glare, "You know what? Fine." I walked towards him until I was standing directly in front of him.
"How about we fight fair as well. No weapons, no kagune, no justus. Just our natural strength."

"Tch. Why would I agree to that?"

I smiled. I knew his weak spot, "What? Afraid I'll win?"

He turned his nose up at me, "Fine."

He's to easy, I wanted to roll my eyes so badly.
I began to strip the few weapons I had from my body. I quickly threw them to the side and backed away from him quickly.

The only thing that budged on him was his smile; and then he vanished.

Fuck I forgot how quick he was.

I felt him behind me, and as I turned around my face connected with his fist. He hit me so hard I went spinning in the air. I managed to land on my feet. I spit a bit of blood from my mouth and smiled, "Not bad."

He snickered, "You got your strength from somewhere."

"Yeah, from the experiments and torture you forced me to endure," I ran straight for him; I knew that would be what he'd least expect. I landed several hits to his abdomen; causing his next breath to be more of a cough of blood.
I felt him punch the top of my head and knock me into the ground before he retreated.

I jumped to my feet and cleaned off my face, "Did you ever think about being a decent father?"

He shook his head, "You and your sister were simply an attempt at making stronger nins. Nothing more." We both ended up charging towards each other this time. He went to kick me in the side and I quickly stopped his foot. I used it to pick him up and slam him into the ground.
He groaned and stayed on the ground. The idiot I am; I dropped my guard for not even five seconds; and his hand was around my throat. He lifted me off the ground and smiled, "I taught you better than that Hitomi."
I could feel my lungs desperately thudding away, but I still smiled. I swung my legs backward as hard as I could. Thankfully they swung forward just as hard; and I locked my legs around his neck. I put more strain on my neck but it was a small price to pay to get free.

I used my body weight to my best ability and he fell over; releasing me in the process. I gasped for air and jumped away from him to quickly recuperate.

"Clever thinking. You won't get so lucky next time."

"You won't get such an easy chance again Orochimaru."

"It wouldn't be thrilling if I did."

I suddenly heard a loud thud against the door blocking the exit. I felt a slight sense of relief. Kakashi was safe. Riku would stay safe behind the door too.

I suddenly felt a foot make contact with my abdomen and I flew back into the wall. It cracked all the way up, making bits of the ceiling fall. I'd definitely feel that one later.
I climbed out of the hole my body had made; but had no time to even breathe.
Orochimaru started bombarding my body with hits. I tried to jump away but he caught my leg and threw me into the wall again.
More of the ceiling and wall crumbled.

"This hideout isn't too sturdy compared to the others," I groaned as I lifted myself off the ground.
He kicked me in the stomach and I ended up on my back.

Fuck I'm not doing so hot right now.

I needed to ignore the pain that was starting to take over my body. I quickly jumped to my feet and countered his next hit with my leg. My foot connected with his jaw and ended up hitting the wall opposite of us.
Another crack. This area wasn't going to last much longer through this fight. I needed to pull a trick from the Orochimaru handbook and end this quickly. I ran towards him before he could get to his feet and threw him against the wall again. I started assaulting his face with the hardest hits I could manage.

He managed to sneak in another kick; but it wasn't as strong as the last one. I stumbled back to the middle of the room. I noticed the ceiling was still crumbling. That really wasn't good. I braced myself for his attack. As soon as he got close enough; I was gonna use my kagune to end him.

"It's time I end this Hitomi," he jumped forward.

This is it. I released my kagune and as soon as he neared, I shoved my kagune entirely through his chest and abdomen.

He looked surprised at first. But then he began laughing as blood poured from his mouth, "Like father, like daughter," I looked down and realized there were two swords penetrating my body. I began to pour blood from my mouth as well.

"I know exactly where to hit too. You won't be making it back to your precious village," I felt his heartbeat begin to slow.

"As long as you don't leave this room alive; I'll die happy," I felt my heartbeat slowing as well.

He just stared at me silently; and then I felt it.

His heart stopped.

I pulled my kagune from his body and let him fall over. I wanted to savor this moment; but my reality quickly reminded me that this wasn't over. More and more of the ceiling and walls began to crumble. I couldn't remove these swords either; not until I was at a hospital at least.

I ran to the door and tried to move it. Unfortunately for me; I was too weak to make a difference.

"RIKU!!," I yelled as loud as I could.

"Ai!," my heart swelled. It really was him.

"I can't open the door Riku. I'm too weak. He-," my heart palpated, "I'm dying Riku."

"Kakashi's here now too Ai. We can move it! Just hang on!"

"No! Just listen. He knew where to stab me. I can feel my heart slowing and this room is falling in. I know you can feel the ground shaking."

"Darlin'. Please just hang on," I could hear the pleading in Kakashi's voice.

Tears began to swell in my eyes, "I'm sorry Kashi. I love you. Always."

"Darlin'! Please! Just hold on!" I felt the door budging a bit and I smiled.

Maybe they can-, my thoughts were interrupted by more palpitations. I ended up falling backwards; causing the swords to push themselves out of my body. I could feel the blood gushing from my wounds.

Tears streamed down the side of my face as I watched the room slowly continue to fall apart around me. I crawled my way to Hayami until I could grab her hand. I didn't want to die alone, but...

Dying protecting the ones I love is the way I've always wanted to go.

(A/N: it's not over yet my lovelies. Will it be a funeral or a wedding though? I'm partially sorry for the cliffhanger 🖤😉)
