Chapter 7
          Kisame dropped Kisho's unconscious body on the ground behind him. Drawing Samehada from its harness in one fluid motion, he pointed it at the ANBU.
          "You have one chance to withdraw and live. If you insist on staying, however, I will gladly shred you to pieces."
          "You're a pretty cocky bastard for a guy that's outnumbered and surrounded. We're not going anywhere. You, however, are headed to Hell. Get ready." the scorpion replied.
          "Very well. I gave you a chance. That's all the mercy you will receive." Kisame said as he began forming hand seals. "Suiton: Bakusui Shouha." Kisame's body heaved with the effort of the jutsu. He leaned forward and opened his mouth. Massive amounts of water poured forth. As the cold water rose, swirling around her, Hinata applied chakra to her feet and knelt to hold on to Kisho's body to keep him from sinking into the water. It kept coming, until the stone ring was filled, reminding Hinata of a pool forgotten in the middle of nowhere. When the water finally reached its peak, Kisame closed his mouth and began forming more seals.
          "Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu" he said. A water clone appeared. He took Kisho's body from Hinata and jumped backward onto the stones behind them.
          "Now we have plenty of room to fight." Kisame said. Hinata nodded in response.
          All of the ANBU had drawn their swords except the one with the scorpion mask. He began forming hand seals of his own.
          "Doton: Gan'u Bunshin no Jutsu" the scorpion said menacingly. A great wind rose around the combatants, stirring dust and small rocks into the air. The swirling became heavier and heavier as larger rocks were swept upward into the air, some emerging from the water beneath them. Kisame and Hinata had to apply more chakra to their feet to remain upright against the force swirling around them. Then, as suddenly as it came, the wind died away.
          After a moment of silence, rocks started raining down, pelting Kisame and Hinata. As the jutsu gained force, the rocks became larger and larger. If any of them hit, they would be crushed. Kisame spun Samehada over his head deflecting the rocks that would have hit him. His clone did the same, protecting himself and Kisho, who lay still at his feet. Hinata stretched out her hands and began to spin in place. The fabric of her kimono swirled around her gracefully. Her long hair floated around her, fanning wide. She increased speed, her image becoming a blur.
          "Hakkeshou Kaiten!" she shouted. The force of her turns combined with her chakra created a barrier that the falling stones bounced off of and landed harmlessly into the water. As the jutsu came to a finish, Hinata's spinning slowed. She stopped and dropped to her knees, breathing heavily. The last few stones dropped harmlessly beside her.
          They had no time to rest however, as two more ANBU charged at them, swords drawn. As Hinata climbed back to her feet, she reached for a kunai from her pouch, only to find her hand grasping the silk of her kimono. 'Damn it!' she cursed to herself. Of all the times to be without her weapons, this was one of the worst. She glanced over at Kisame. He was already engaged in fierce swordplay, the wrapping quickly falling away from Samehada, revealing its serrated blade. Back on her feet, she raised her hands in front of her. Sharpening the chakra in her palms, she met the ninja running towards her.
          Hinata ducked low, the katana aimed at her missing completely. She brought her palms forward, making contact with her opponent’s knees. Slicing them open, she ran her palms upward, creating large gashes in the ninja's thighs.
          "You bitch!" the ninja howled in pain. He swung his sword at her again. Hinata easily dodged it and jumped backwards, out of range. The ninja began forming hand seals. "Doton: Dorou no Jutsu." The water beneath Hinata's feet started churning as a section of rock started to emerge. Before she had time to move, it wrapped around her body, caging her in. Only her head and hands were left free. Hinata struggled to free herself, but couldn't budge the rock. The ANBU smiled beneath his mask.
          "Now then. Where was I? Oh yes, I was just about to kill you." he mocked as he stepped up to Hinata and raised his katana. She met his masked gaze levelly. "Any last words, rogue kunoichi?"
          "Y-yes. N-never underestimate the c-chakra range of a H-hyuuga." Hinata said softly. With the merest whisper of sound, Hinata's chakra pierced the ninja in the chest. He looked at her wordlessly, eyes wide, blood running down his torso. His jutsu released and he fell at her feet, dead. She watched, slightly horrified, as his body sunk beneath the water.
          The cougar, enraged, screamed at her. "How dare you! You'll regret the day you ever set foot in the Land of Earth!"
          Hinata took the time to check on Kisame and see how he was faring in his battle. He was standing calmly a few yards away from her, apparently unharmed. The heat of summer was starting to make him sweat, and great drops of it rolled down his bulging arms, carrying away the paint, leaving him with an almost striped appearance. All his visible muscles were taut with adrenaline. He was grinning maliciously. His opponent was trapped in a sphere of water, and was drowning. Hinata looked away, unable to watch as the ninja's body started to convulse.
          Just as she looked back, the cougar masked ANBU reached her. With a mighty swing, Hinata was punched in the face and sent flying back. 'A lesson in inattention.' she thought as she skidded to a halt. She felt the heat on her face as her cheek started to swell slightly. "That was for my teammate. Now prepare to die." she said and raised her katana and charged Hinata.
          Letting go of the chakra keeping her on the surface, Hinata sunk beneath the water before the sword made contact. Swimming down, she waited to see what the other kunoichi would do. It seemed that the ANBU was content to let her drown. She stood on the surface of the water, watching her with her sword ready. As soon as Hinata would try to surface, she would strike. Hinata had gotten herself trapped! Then, Hinata noticed something moving in the water to her left.
          Her eyes widened. Three huge chakra sharks were heading her way! Just knowing she was about to be a meal, Hinata tried to swim away. But her soaked kimono and heavy sandals kept her from moving very fast. She was quickly surrounded. Just when she thought it was the end for her, the sharks swam up beside her and started herding her to the surface. She had one on either side of her and one ahead of her, sweeping her upward.
          This close, Hinata was amazed at the intricacy of the jutsu. With her Byakugan she could see the tendrils of chakra that ran through their bodies and out their tails to the surface. She reached out a hand and ran it through the body of the closest one. Like a phantom, it had substance but wasn't solid. And the energy of the chakra made her fingers tingle.
          As she breached the surface, the lead shark grabbed the sword arm of the kunoichi above her. Her arm was shredded to ribbons. It released her and dived back under the water. Hinata once again stood on the surface in front of her opponent, her escort now gone beneath the water. Astounded, she looked over at Kisame. He was grinning at her.
          "Oi, don't die on me yet, girl!" he shouted. She started to thank him, but he had already turned his attention back to the ninja he was currently fighting. This one had the mask of a prairie dog. Facing the cougar once again, Hinata dropped into her fighting stance and waited.
          Holding her arm and breathing heavily, the cougar stared Hinata down. "You got lucky, girl. But this is the end for you!" she said as she came at Hinata once again, sword raised in her other hand. Hinata engaged in a flurry of taijutsu, blocking the sword and steadily using her chakra to open cuts on the enemy ANBU. Finally unable to continue close range combat, the kunoichi back flipped out of reach and withdrew to her teammates. But she had scored a few hits. Hinata's arms had several deep cuts which were bleeding profusely.
          Hinata fell back, chakra beginning to run low. She was sure she was a terrible sight. Soaking wet, hair matted, and blood running down her arms. Yep, she sure was the ideal picture of an heiress now. Glancing over at her opponents, she counted them up. Five left with one heavily wounded. 'I won't last much longer fighting alone' she thought. She headed toward Kisame, forming a plan as she went. He had just brought Samehada down on his opponent's neck, and kicking him back with his foot, cut into his flesh, causing blood to spray upward into the air. As the body sank, the water around his feet became murky. Trying to ignore the gristly sight, Hinata approached. When she reached Kisame's side, she spoke. "I h-have an idea. It's the o-only way b-both of us m-may survive t-this. If w-we don't f-finish soon, Iwa will s-send more n-ninja."
          "Well, let's hear it." he said amused. The battle so far had him in a very good mood.
         "Using S-samehada, launch me f-forward. That w-will surprise t-them. I'll use my J-jyuuken to shut d-down their chakra system. While I'm d-doing that, you use Samehada to d-drain their chakra and t-take them down."
          "You'll be right in front of me. I might hit you."
          "Don't w-worry about it. With my B-byakugan, I can see w-when you s-swing. I can d-dodge really w-well. I'll be able to d-dodge your swings, b-but they won't."
          "And if you can't?"
          "Then you'll h-have one less b-burden on your h-hands." Hinata said seriously.
          The problem was, Kisame didn't really think of her as a burden. Since their kiss that morning, he was seriously entertaining the idea of keeping her around. She intrigued him. She appeared weak, but was infinitely strong underneath her shyness. Her plan just might work, but they both had to execute it perfectly.
          "Alright, get behind me and get ready." he said.
          Hinata backed up until she was behind Kisame. The enemy ANBU took it as a sign of her withdrawal. The scorpion laughed. "Done already, kunoichi? Pitiful that your friend has to protect you because you are so weak."
          Kisame laughed loudly. "You haven't met my Hummingbird, have you? She's really quite fierce. Not weak at all. Prepare yourselves to fall at the hands of Hoshigaki Kisame and Hyuuga Hinata!" he shouted. At that moment he lowered Samehada to the ground behind him. Hinata carefully placed her foot on the end of the great sword, stabilizing it with added chakra. Sinking through her knees she pushed off of the surface of the water, just as Kisame brought the sword forward in a great arc, launching her into the air, straight at the ANBU. Her hair whipped in the wind and the sleeves of her kimono spread wide, reminding Kisame of the very nickname he had given her. As she touched the surface of the water, Hinata skidded forward, coming to a stop directly in front of the cougar.
          "Jyuuken!" she shouted and hit the enemy kunoichi in the chest.
         "Hakkeshou Rokujuu Yonshuu!" Hinata's hands became faster and faster as she pummeled the cougar with her hands, shutting down her chakra points as she went. The enemy nin was pushed back by the force, and started to sink with the lack of chakra in her feet.
          As soon as Hinata engaged the cougar nin with her 64 palms, Kisame charged. Swinging Samehada in an arc in front of him, Hinata ducked and rolled out of the way just as the sword made contact with the cougar's side, ripping a large gash in her skin. Blood started pouring out of the wound. The spray coated Hinata's face and a droplet rolled down and dripped off her chin. Ignoring it, she moved on to the next ninja. She nearly paused as she heard the sound of the cougar ninja draw her dying breath. But she couldn't stop now. The element of surprise would wear off soon, then they would really be busy.
          Her next target, with the mask of a hawk, swung his sword at Hinata. She never even flinched as metal clanged near her head. Kisame had moved to block the attack. With her opponent busy fending off Samehada, Hinata began her next barrage of attacks. She finished just as Kisame drew back to strike. She jumped high into the air as Samehada came across in an arc, catching the ninja in the stomach. He fell, sinking into the water as the contents of his stomach were spilled.
          Hinata landed beside of Kisame. The three remaining ninja had fallen back. The scorpion stood behind the two remaining ninja. "Take out the girl!" he yelled to them. They launched kunai at Hinata. She stepped in front of Kisame and he brought Samehada in front of them both. The blades bounced harmlessly away. Using a little more caution, the pair of ANBU charged, splitting up and coming at them from both sides.
          Kisame spun Samehada in his right hand, effectively preventing attack from that side, which left Hinata open on the other side. She charged the ninja, and as they met, she reached up and shut the chakra down in his wrists, then his knees. He started sinking, unable to keep himself on the surface. Floating in the water, he tried to slice her legs with his sword. She simply dodged him, running out of reach. No longer a threat, Hinata left the bobbing ninja to Kisame and ran around him to the other side.
        Neither Hinata nor Kisame noticed that the ninja with the scorpion mask had disappeared. Hinata had just reached the ninja on the right when her ankle was grabbed from beneath the surface, and she was pulled back under. She took a deep breath before her head went beneath the surface. She struggled with the ninja that had a hold of her, trying to break free. He kept dragging her further and further down toward the bottom. She realized in horror that he was trying to drown her, even if it cost his own life. Trying not to panic, Hinata hit the ninja harder as her vision started to blur.
          Just as suddenly as she went under, his grip broke and he was pulled away from her. Kisame had come after them and now had the man by the neck, hurtling towards the bottom. She swam as fast as she could for the surface. When she could finally breathe again, she gulped in the air. Climbing back onto the surface, she looked around. The other two ninja were gone. She stood defensively, turning in every direction, but they were nowhere to be seen.
          A few minutes later, Kisame's head broke the surface. The paint had washed completely off and the bluish gray hue of his wet skin had returned. He climbed up, and Hinata staggered over to him. "We n-need to go, Kisame-san. The other t-two ninja are g-gone. I t-think they w-went after h-help. I don't t-think I have enough c-chakra to f-fight again." As she reached his side, she started to topple over. Kisame grabbed her and she leaned heavily against him. Her breathing was labored and she was starting to feel light headed. She deactivated her Byakugan to keep from passing out.
          "You can't run in that state. Guess I'm stuck carrying you." He teased. He created another water clone to follow them and, returning Samehada to its harness, Kisame gently picked her up himself, bridal style.
          "B-but, Kisame-san, I'm all w-wet and b-bloody." she tried to push away from him. He tightened his grip on her.
          "Don't worry about it." he said.
          They jumped to the top of the rocks, where the first clone waited with Kisho's body. Moving as one, Kisame and the clones jumped to the ground outside the ring of rocks. Kisame released his first jutsu and water started pouring through the cracks in the rocks and soaking into the thirsty ground. Without chakra to support it, the ring of rocks also started to crumble, receding back into the earth. When everything settled down, all that was left were six broken bodies lying in the mud.
          Finally resigned to being carried, Hinata rested her head against Kisame's chest. Her hair cascaded over his arm in a raven waterfall. She could feel the water dripping off her kimono and sliding between their bodies. She hadn't realized how tired she was. Her chakra was nearly gone, as was her physical energy. Her wounds had finally stopped bleeding, but her arms were a mess, and the blood loss was starting to take its toll. Kisame's body was so warm against hers. And she was so sleepy. Unable to keep her eyes open, she snuggled closer and drifted off to sleep.
