Chapter 8
            Kisame stopped at the cave long enough for his unburdened clone to grab his and Hinata's packs. Hinata barely stirred in his arms when they came to a halt. She sighed in her sleep and turned her face into his chest, then went still once more. Taking off once again, he headed toward Hidden Rain and the Akatsuki base.
          Carrying Hinata in his arms made Kisame feel strange. The smell of the battle, the scent of her blood mixed with that of their enemies', and her forest infused sweat had him on edge. The sight of her wounds sent an uncontrollable rage through him. The fierce protectiveness was back. He mentally dared anyone to try and take her away from him. But at the same time, he prayed no one disturbed him. He didn't know if he would be able to control his actions, when Hinata had him feeling this way.
          As he ran, he occasionally glanced down at her. Her face wore the same peaceful expression it had the first night they spent in the cave. He could feel the rise and fall of her chest against his. The sound of her steady breathing soothed his whirling emotions. He started to smile. 'What the hell is wrong with me?' he asked himself. He prayed that whatever had his hormones in an upheaval would make up its mind soon. Because an emotionally confused, out of control Kisame could be a very bad thing. At least for everyone else. Pushing it all out of his mind, he concentrated on the path ahead of him and tried to ignore the feelings the little kunoichi in his arms was invoking.
          Slung over the clone's shoulder, Kisho began to stir. Groaning at the pain in his head, he cracked his eyes open to see the ground rushing by beneath him. Lifting his head, he saw three versions of Yume's bodyguard. One was carrying him, one had a couple of bags on his back and the third cradled Yume in his arms. He noticed that she was wounded. And her once pristine kimono was soaking wet and dirty. Had there been a fight? How did he get knocked out? Surely the girl couldn't have done it. Assuming that the bodyguard carrying her was the real one, he addressed him.
          "Will you put me down already?" he asked in his low voice.
          Kisame and the clones halted. Kisho was dropped roughly to the ground. He landed on his butt, his red and black hair falling into his face. Shaking his head to clear his vision, he glared at Kisame. His gaze was met with a cold stare. The clone behind him disappeared in a spray of water. Kisho stood and dusted himself off.
          'I guess they figured out that one of their ninja was just abducted by the Akatsuki' the bodyguard had said. Which meant that the mission he was supposed to be on was a complete farce. And the so called 'heiress' was probably nothing more than a well-trained kunoichi. Maybe she had been the one to knock him unconscious. He was more than a little curious as to why they wanted him specifically.
          "Who are you really?" he asked.
          Kisame gave him a feral smile. "Hoshigaki Kisame. Former ninja of the Village Hidden in the Mist and current member of Akatsuki."
          "And the kunoichi?"
          "Is none of your business." Kisame's smile had faded and he was watching Kisho carefully. His hold on her tightened slightly, causing Hinata to stir and open her eyes. She gazed sleepily up at Kisame. Remembering what had happened and her current position, she blushed and started to ask to be put down. Until she saw the look on his face. His dangerous demeanor and tense body caused her to remain still in his arms. Without moving, she silently activated her Byakugan. She could see Kisho standing a few feet away from them, looking less than pleased.
          "What do you want with me?" Kisho asked. His voice was still low, but it had a very ominous tone.
          "Nothing. Leader-sama, however, has asked for you. So we're going to meet with him." Kisame said.
          "And if I refuse?"
          "Then I'll beat you to a pulp and drag you there. Either way you go is fine with me. But Leader-sama hates to be disappointed. So let's not keep him waiting."
          "I'm not going." Kisho said stonily.
          "What?" Kisame narrowed his eyes. "You don't have a choice in the matter."
          "I am a ninja of Iwagakure. I am loyal only to my village and the Tsuchikage." he replied.
          Feeling a little uncomfortable with the way this situation was going, Hinata looked up at Kisame. "K-kisame-san?"
          He glanced down at her. "Yeah?"
          "C-could you p-please put m-me down? You c-can't beat anyone and c-carry me at the same t-time." she said. Kisame grinned at her and set her on her feet. She was a little wobbly at first, but soon steadied herself and stepped back from the two men. The remaining clone came to her side. Kisame pulled Samehada from its harness. This would be a perfect opportunity to test Kisho's skills.
          "The only way you are leaving is to defeat me. So come on, if you think you can, that is." Kisame challenged.
          "Very well." Kisho took a step back. He brought his hands together and closed his golden eyes. Chakra started swirling around his body, growing larger and denser by the second. After a moment, he opened his eyes. His irises were swirling with focused chakra. Forming hand seals, he started a jutsu. "Stone Lion Summons" he said.
          The ground started rumbling. Loose rocks and dust came toward Kisho swiftly. Larger boulders emerged from the earth. Kisho extended his hand and touched the nearest rock. His chakra started pouring into the rocks. The other rocks were drawn together and fused. Manipulating the shape, Kisho created a large cat from the stones. Its height reached his shoulder and it was about five feet long. With a slight rumbling noise, it stepped forward, staring at Kisame with sightless eyes.
          Kisame was impressed. The detail of the construct nearly rivaled that of Deidara's birds or his own sharks. He wondered how powerful an attack this jutsu had. Kisho had brought his hands back together and was staring at Kisame. With an unspoken command, the stone lion charged. Kisame lunged forward, Samehada in front of him. The two met with a violent thud. The force of the attack pushed Kisame back a few feet, spraying dust into the air. Locked together, the lion had Samehada in its jaws. Kisame smirked. The great sword started wiggling as it drew the chakra from the cat. Without the force of the jutsu holding it together, the beast crumbled back into a pile of rocks once again.
          Angry that his work was so quickly undone, Kisho started forming more hand seals. "Pride of Lions Summons" he cried. Once again the earth shook as it was drawn together in front of Kisho. Chakra swirled around the rocks. It was difficult to see what was happening through the debris that moved through the spinning mass. When the dust settled down, Kisame could see six lions, similar to the first, surrounding Kisho. As a unit, the lions charged.
          Hinata was confused as to what she should do. Should she help Kisho defeat Kisame? If they won, they would be free to return to their villages. Hinata doubted that it was possible, since they had just defeated eight ANBU and Kisame barely seemed to be winded from it. She, on the other hand, had nearly used up her entire chakra reserve and all her techniques just to defend herself. Without her chakra restored, and wounded as well, she wouldn't be much help to Kisho. A taijutsu attack would be useless. Kisame could swat her away like a fly.
          Plus, it just didn't seem right to turn on him now. Yes, she was his hostage. And she did want to go home. But the whole time they had been together he had never once mistreated her. He even seemed to be attracted to her. He had kissed her. And she had kissed him back. Why had she done that anyway? Was it just an impulse? Or had she felt something more? With a frown, she turned her attention back to the scene before her.
          Kisame was holding his own against the stone lions. One had already been drained of its chakra, and he was fending off two more. Samehada was excited. Its blades were practically undulating with the prospect of devouring more chakra. Suddenly, Kisho scored a hit. As Kisame was draining the lions in front of him, another slammed into him from the side, knocking him down. The remaining two pounced on him, and Kisame was lost to Hinata's view.
          Kisho smiled. He had him now. Even if the lions were drained of their chakra, he would still be crushed beneath the rubble. Then everything went still. Samehada had managed to eat the last of the remaining chakra, and the lions had fallen. Hinata watched expectantly, holding her breath. Nothing happened for a moment. Then one of the rocks started moving. With a great heave, it was tossed into the air. It landed with a thud a few feet from Kisho. Kisame slowly emerged from the rock pile. He had several deep gashes on his chest and arms, and his face was cut and bleeding. Kisho's smile faded.
          Kisame bent down and retrieved Samehada from the rocks. Swinging it up to rest on his shoulder, he glared at Kisho. Raising a hand, he wiped some of the blood from his face.
          "Not bad, boy. I think Leader-sama will like you. But it's time to end this game. So get ready, brat, here I come." Kisame said. He charged Kisho just as the redhead was starting to form more hand seals. But before he could finish, Kisame had reached him. Kisame punched Kisho hard in the gut and sent him flying back.
          Landing on one knee, Kisho coughed, spitting up blood. He quickly regained his footing, however, and ran at Kisame. Kisame tried to punch him again, but Kisho dodged him and grabbed his arm. Kisame felt his chakra being drained away. But he had always had a massive amount, and was barely affected at all. Breaking away, he smirked. "Do you really think that trick will work on me? I'm no genin. Your chakra, however, is becoming bothersome. Let me take care of it for you." Kisame brought Samehada down on Kisho's shoulder.
          Kisho felt himself weakening under the power of the sentient sword. His chakra was nearly depleted. Because of his own draining ability, he couldn't store large amounts at a time. Feeling light headed, he sank to his knees, defeated. Kisame drew his sword back, shredding Kisho's shoulder. He winced at the pain, but said nothing. He clamped his hand over the wound to staunch the blood flow.
          "Something to remember me by." Kisame said. "Now get up. I'm not carrying your ass around anymore. And if you try anything else, orders or not, I'll kill you. Got it?" Kisho nodded and stood up. Kisame turned and walked over to Hinata, not missing the daggers Kisho was glaring into his back.
          "Feeling better, Hummingbird?" he asked. Hinata nodded. "Good. Go help Cat Boy bandage his shoulder so we can get out of here. I'm sure half of Iwa is pissed and on our tail by now."
          "H-hai." Hinata walked over to Kisho. She reached out to help with his shoulder, but he drew away and glared at her.
          "I can do it on my own. I don't need a traitor kunoichi to play nurse to me." he said angrily. Hinata stared at her feet, hair falling in her face.
          "B-but I'm n-not..."she started to say. Doubt filled her mind. Was she a traitor? She had helped Kisame with his mission to abduct Kisho. Konoha would definitely have something to say about it when they found out. And she had willingly helped him battle the ANBU. But she hadn't done anything against Konoha itself. Tsunade might understand and forgive her if she explained the circumstances. Before she could think about anything else, Kisame had stepped between her and Kisho. She could tell by the muscles bulging in his neck and the tight grip he had on his sword that he was angry. Very angry. He was emanating a deadly aura that made Hinata shrink back from him.
          "Leave her alone." he said fiercely. "She is just as much my hostage as you are. However, unlike you, she is smart. She knows when she is outmatched and cannot win a battle. Now hurry the hell up, or I might change my mind and kill you anyway."
          Kisho said nothing. He wrapped up his shoulder in a bandage and stood. Kisame dismissed his final clone and handed Hinata her pack, while shouldering his own. Ready to leave, the trio took off, Kisame in the lead, Hinata and Kisho close behind.
