Sumi versus Aijou and Kohana YanagawaIkusei Sumi leapt gracefully from tree to tree, trying to find the best place from which to launch her attack. Settling on a spot, she waited for her opportunity. It was then that she noticed something useful: a wagon seemingly full of civilians.
He said that it would make her angry if we attack civilians, she thought, not noticing the ANBU on the other side of the wagon.
That one would be good. Once she saw the signal - a small beam of light, like a laser, from across the road - she leapt down, pulling out her small metal fans and opening them with a rinigng
snap. She alighted delicately beside the wagon, held out her fans, and began to spin. "Ninpou, Tsujikaze no Mai!" she chanted, sending razor-sharp gales of wind at the wagon's wooden sides. They hit their mark, and easily ripped open the sides of the pathetic structure and tore through the opposite side.
"'Morning," she said in a sultry voice to the surprised occupants, then began her dash towards them.
* * * * * * * * * *
Aijou was about halfway to his post at the back of the caravan, when he sensed the presence of an enemy close by...too close.
In a split second, he spun around to see one of the ambushers land quietly next to the wagon. He watched closely as they readied to attack. The shrill ring of metal fans resonated through his ears, and in the wink of an eye, outstretched his arm, palm out, and put the Genkai Makuden* up around his sister's wagon.
He watched as the enemy attacked the wagon with peircing, razor sharp gusts of wind. They cleaved and ripped through the wooden frame effortlessly.
Aijou let out a sigh of relief, seeing that the occupants of the wagon, including Kohana, were all safe, even though the wagon had been torn to shreds. He soon made eye contact with his sister, and nodded once.
Kohana knew instantly what he meant, and she quickly placed her hands on the floor of the wagon, and concentrated her chakra into her own Genkai Makuden, replacing her brother's.
Seeing as the assailant was now charging at the now completely decimated wagon, Aijou's eyes sparked. With a tremendous burst of speed, he flew towards them, his fist pulled back, ready to throw a punch.
"RAIMEI SENTOU NO JUTSU*!" he shouted, a brilliant ball of lightning forming around his fist. He made contact with the attacker's stomach, the ball of lightning crackling and letting off a intense flash of light, as it was released into their body, followed by an explosive roll of thunder that shook the earth beneath them.
"Don't you EVER attack my sister!" he shouted at his opponent, his eyes, now glowing white, flashing and sparking with intense anger. Now he was mad...
Kohana watched from the wagon, nearly in tears. She wanted to help her brother so badly, but at the moment, protecting her fellow genin was most important....
* * * * * * * * * *
Sumi wasn't expecting the retaliation to come so quickly. The white-haired man's attack made direct contact, sending her flying through the air. Soon enough though, she regained her edge, so to speak. "Kaiki Jinpuu!*" she shouted, flicking her fans and using the gusts of wind to right herself and land on her feet. The ninja shouted at her about attacking his sister - presumably the white-haired child currently cowering in the wagon's shattered remains - his eyes sparking fiercely. "Ooooh, an angry one," she purred, fluttering her fans so that one covered her face up to the eyes, and the other accentuating her curvaceous figure, "and good looking too." She stretched out her arms fluidly so her fans reached out to her sides and assumed a stance that would be sure to free her bare legs from the high slits in her skirt. "I like you," she said with a grin. Her eyes took on a smoky look as she returned to a fully vertical position, stretching as high as she could and crossing her arms at the wrists above her head. "Kouchou Boufuu!" she chanted, and brought her arms down, crossing at her chest, and coming to rest at her sides. The resulting windstorm whistled and shrieked like nothing else, and she used the distraction to dissappear into the air above him.
* * * * * * * * * *
Aijou watched as his opponent got up, using a special technique to regain her composure. She seemed to flaunt her voluptuous curves at him, grinning cunningly. "I like you," she said, standing upright, lifting her hands high above her head.
Kouchou Boufuu! he heard her chant.
Before he knew it, he was hit with such a great blast of wind that he nearly toppled backward. He braced himself against the strong gales, and managed to put up a weak Genkai Makuden to protect himself from any flying debris. Opening his eyes slowly, enough to see what was going on, he noticed that the enemy was nowhere in sight.
"Not good..." he said, cursing under his breath. He stayed alert, readying himself to be attacked.
Kohana watched helplessly from underneath her sheild with her fellow genin. Looking around frantically, she spotted her brother's opponent.
"AIJOU LOOK OUT!" she screamed at him.
Aijou spun around, but it was too late...
* * * * * * * * * *
"Aijou! Look out!" Sumi heard a girl's voice scream as she floated upwards. She gathered her chakra and channeled it through her fans, increasing the amount of surface she could use to move the air. This next technique was intended to be her finishing move so she could get through this annoying boy - most likely a chuunin, she thought - and take down that pesky barrier of his. She brought her fans together to form one large fan and summoned up all her strength. "Ninpou!" she shouted. "Retsuretsu Shippuu*!" she swung the huge fan with all her might, calling up such a wind that it sent her flying backwards and back up into the air. The remains of the shattered wagon flew madly around and she was vaguely aware of people being tossed about from the force of her jutsu. She turned a pirouette in midflight and dropped to the ground on her feet. "Heh." She smirked as she returned her fans to their normal attack position, waiting in case of the unlikely event that she would need to attack anymore. "Too easy," she purred."
* * * * * * * * * *
Tadako crouched in the nearby shrubs towards the front of the caravan, observing the group closely while Sumi Ane-san** took care of the white-haired ninja. It was too bad Ane-san would have to kill such a good-looking guy. Suddenly the group in the wagon's shattered fragments caught her attention. One of the people - a civilian, or so he seemed - was talking about ---- her eyes widened. Chakra, shinobi..... These brats were Genin!
Let the ANBU and Jounin do their jobs....? ANBU? Those are...."Too easy," she heard Sumi Ane-san say in that beautiful voice of hers, and Tadako knew it was safe to reveal herself. She removed herself from the prickly brush and half-ran to where Ane-san stood. "Ane-san! Ane-san!" she said as she approached. The older woman turned to face her, looking expectant. "I just heard them!" Tadako pointed to the group of Genin in the wagon. "They're all Genin in disguise! The shinobi we're fighting are ANBU and Jounin! It's
them, Ane-san!"
* * * * * * * * * *
ANBU.....?
Sumi began to chuckle, massaging her temple with her long fingers. "So that's why you didn't die so easily," she said, still laughing slightly. "I was beginning to wonder. Now, Mr. Elite Ninja-san, why don't you show me what you can really do? Tadako!"
"Yes!""Go. I'll take care of the people here. It seems we have company," she said, indicating a couple shinobi not far from where the former wagon had been.
"Yes!" the girl replied loyally, and away she dashed.
"What a good girl," Sumi remarked. "So obedient. So loyal. Now...." she looked the white-haired man up and down. "Where were we?"
* * * * * * * * * *
Aijou was hit with such a great force of wind, he went flying back several feet, landing hard on his back, rolling a few times before finally coming to a stop face down in the dirt.
Kohana nearly popped a blood vessel screaming so loud. Dropping her lightning barrier, she began to scramble towards her brother, fighting to stay upright in the strong gusts of wind. But then she realized she should stay put and protect her fellow genin, but when she turned back around to put the sheild up again, the wind had scattered everyone too far to do so.
Obviously the secret was out now that the entire caravan were all shinobi in disguise, so Kohana found it best to help her big brother out. Reaching Aijou's still body, she fell to her knees beside him. He had hit his head on a large root protruding from the ground, resulting in a rather bloody gash across his forehead.
"...Aijou...?!" Kohana whimpered, placing a hand on his back and shaking him. "Wake up..."
Tears streamed down her face. Aijou wasn't moving. But then...to her surprise, he opened his eyes and looked at her.
"Shhh!" he said wheezingly before Kohana could let out a squeal of joy. "I'm ok...I just got the air knocked out of me. Give me a minute..."
Kohana nodded slightly and looked up to see the beautiful attacker eyeing her big brother. Getting to her feet, she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Her eyes begen to spark wildly and turn from purple to a brilliant white light, and soon, bright purple lighting began to eminate from her eyes down to her fingertips and to her feet.
"You...." she began. "YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY BROTHER!!!!"
* * * * * * * * * *
Sumi turned to face the young girl, who was summoning up quite a large amount of chakra. Her eyes began glowing white and lightning crackled all around her.
"You...." she said threateningly.
"YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY BROTHER!!!!" Chakra surged from the girl, and Sumi's eyes widened in surprised.
A Genin? What kind of a Genin has that much chakra?Sumi smirked, holding her fans out in front of her. "You're good for a Genin, little girl," she said in her sultry voice, "I'll acknowledge that much. But you're in over your head. Even if you succeed in pulling off that scary-looking jutsu of yours, that's it for you." She chuckled. "And it looks like your big Brother is finished too. How long can you last, hm?" She began charging her fans with chakra. "Shall we find out?"
* * * * * * * * * *
You're good for a Genin, little girl... the lavish enemy said snobbishly in a lurid voice.
I'll acknowledge that much. But you're in over your head. Even if you succeed in pulling off that scary-looking jutsu of yours, that's it for you.Chuckling, she continued.
And it looks like your big Brother is finished too. How long can you last, hm? Shall we find out? She began charging her fans with chakra.
Kohana had had enough. She slowly began bringing her hands up high above her head, charging up with almost all she had.
Aijou lifted his head slightly to see what was going on. Seeing his younger sister glowing, his eyes widened.
It...It couldn't be...No! It's impossible! The only one that knows that jutsu...is...her..."RAKURAI TOORIAME!!*" Kohana shouted, her voice echoing. And with a snap of her fingers, hundreds of bright white bolts of lightning showered down from the sky, destroying nearly anything in their path.
* * * * * * * * * *
Sumi's eyes widened at the girl's power.
There's no way she's a normal Genin! she thought as she charged her fans to prepare for the attack, but she wasn't prepared for what came next.
Just in the nick of time, she released her jutsu - holding her arms out as far as they would stretch, she chanted a jutsu - "Kaihi no Mai!*" - and began her dance. Fanning her arms in all directions - up, down, left, right, front, back - she began to spin rapidly, using her chakra to deflect the shower of white lightning. When it was over, she dropped her fans, masking her tiredness. She would have to end this now, or she was done. Summoning up as much chakra as she could, she snapped her fans together and charged them to full blast. "You're good, little girl," she sneered. "I'll acknowledge that. But it ends here! Retsuretsu Shippuu!" she lifted the metal fan, preparing to blast the strong little brat so she wouldn't get up again.
* * * * * * * * * *
After releasing her most powerful lightning attack on her vuluptuous apponent, she calmed down. Noticing that it hadn't even scratched her, she cursed aloud, stomping her foot hard onto the dirt. Now her chakra was nearly depleted. Stupid move... But she was tired of dealing with this snobby adversary.
I will destroy her...even if I die trying... Kohana thought, concentrating what was remaining of her chakra into her feet. Charging forward, ready to land her attack right into her challenger's chest. Suddenly, her eyes widened at the sight of Aijou appearing behind the fan lady.
She stopped short, nearly falling flat on her face. She watched, shocked, at what Aijou was doing.
He reached up slowly, taking the fan lady's wrists in his hands, and rested his chin gently on her shoulder. He then began to bring her arms back down to her sides. What was he planning to do?
"A-Aijou...?" Kohana wimpered. "W-what are y-you doing?"
* * * * *
All coherent thought stopped when Sumi felt the white-haired ninja slip his arms over hers, bringing them down to her sides and resting his head on her shoulder. She exhaled softly, melting into the hold he had on her. The fans slipped, forgotten, from her hand, and landed with a metallic clanging sound on the hard earth. "You know," she purred, "if you weren't my enemy, I'd take you home with me." She reached back, threading her hand through his hair, brushing the side of his face as she did so.
* * * * * * * * * *
You know... the buxom fan lady sighed, melting into Aijou's arms,
if you weren't my enemy, I'd take you home with me.Aijou grinned. She had dropped her fans, and was now brushing her spindly fingers over the side of his face and into his hair. "Heh..." he laughed as she ran her fingers over the purple doutai* on his brow. "I'm sure you would..." he continued in a sexy voice. "But...it would never work between us, darling..."
Taking his a sharp breath, and continuing to hold her wrists, he began again in a low whisper, his lips brushing over her ear as he spoke. "See, this is how it works, love...I told you never to attack my sister...And you didn't listen...So now you're gonna have to pay..." He paused. "Goodnight......Dengeki Kanashibari!"
A great jolt of electricity flowed through Aijou's fingers straight into the seductive missing nin's vains. He held on for a few seconds, then let go, and watched her fall. It was over!
* * * * * * * * * *
Sumi's heart raced at the ANBU's words in her ears.... that is, until she realized what he was saying. Her last thought was a realization of how she had been tricked before the electricity shot through her veins. She gasped, went completely limp, and fell to the ground in a rather graceful manner to land in a heap at his feet. She saw and knew no more.
