The electric Hiyori and the honorary Hiyori clan member leapt across the forest’s trees. Kaminari and Jessica had parted ways with the older Ino-Shika-Cho trio and Neji to go after Naruto; sensing he was in trouble. Kamisori thumped against the golden eyed girls back as they continued to jump from tree to tree.
Jessica’s troubled look greatly upset Kaminari. The Hiyori tried to talk to violet eyed girl jumping beside her via mind link, but Jessica had closed off her mind to her friend and was focusing on Naruto and his mental energies. Despite the worry and curiosity that built up in Kaminari from Jessica’s silence and concentration, Kaminari never verbally spoke. Not now. It was dangerous to make any unnecessary noise.
Nightmarish images of a monster-like version of Gaara, a trapped and unconscious Sakura, a curse marked Sasuke, and an injured Naruto, filled Jessica’s mind. To be honest, the young psychic didn’t know if she was seeing glimpses of the future, or if she was seeing the battle from someone else’s eyes who was watching the battle from afar.
Jessica was completely aware that Kaminari was worried and desperately wanted to know if Naruto was alright or not, but Jessica made sure that her mind was tightly closed off. Kaminari didn’t need to see her team like this. Defiantly not like this.
The duo stopped their tree hopping when they felt some strange chakra signatures ahead of them, engaging in battle. Both chakra signatures where familiar, not doubt about that. But was that a good thing or a bad thing? It could be an enemy that was fighting an ally, or maybe a spy from either side got caught?
Kaminari gripped Kamisori’s handle as she and Jessica leapt toward the battle ahead of them. One thing was certain. Whoever they are, they were between the female duo, and Naruto.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The puppet master smirked as he used his chakra strings to dislodge Crow’s head from its jammed body. Shino clung to the tree branch he was on as the puppet’s mouth opened to reveal a giant, poison dipped needle. Kankuro smirked as he directed the head at the insect user he was hiding from. Shino couldn’t dodge the needle in his current condition.
Thwack!
What the hell?! Kankuro thought as a scythe came out of nowhere and skewered Crow’s head through the wood and pinned it to the trunk of the tree Shino was in. Two figures landed on the branch Shino was clinging too. Shino looked up to see a hand leaning over and grabbing his sleeve to pull him up, despite the insects. If you could see his eyes, they would be wide with surprise.
Kaminari finished helping Shino up before walking over to Kamisori and yanking it out of the tree with the puppet head still on it and swung the scythe behind her. Kankuro, who had been surprised by the suddenly enemy reinforcements, had forgotten to disconnect his charka strings and was flung forward towards the electric Hiyori.
Kaminari tighten her hand into a fist as she gathered some chakra into it. The electric Hiyori pulled her fist back then pushed it forward with all the force she could muster as her fist collided with the sand ninja’s face. NOBODY hurts MY Shino-kun and gets away with it! Kaminari thought as she watched Kankuro’s body slam against another tree, successfully knocking him out.
Jessica sweat dropped as she watches the scene unfold in front of her. …she may have over done it just a little. Jessica thought to herself. Shino stared at Kaminari for moment before dropping to the ground in a coughing fit. Jessica and Kaminari where instantly at Shino’s sides.
“He’s been poisoned.” Jessica suddenly stated, having shifted through the Abruame’s memories. Kaminari shot a fearful glance at Jessica before digging in her left kunai pouch that had mostly scrolls in it. The Hiyori pulled out a small glass bottle before putting it back. Oops, wrong bottle. Kaminari thought with a sweat drop.
Kaminari pulled out another small glass bottle and twitched her lips into a quick grin as she pulled out the right bottle. The six purple colored pills in the bottle jingled against the glass as the bottle was opened and tilted to pop one, purple pill into the palm of Kaminari’s hand.
“Swallow this pill, Shino. It’s an antidote to most kinds of known poisons.” Kaminari said as she held the pill to Shino’s lips. A small blush appeared on the gold eyed girl’s face as Shino open his mouth and swallowed the pill. Jessica smiled at her friend before frowning.
“Kaminari.” Jessica whispered sharply while glancing her eyes around the forest. Kaminari tensed as she felt four foreign chakra signatures surrounding them. The chakra had the intent to kill laced in it. Kaminari and Jessica narrowed their eyes. They were surrounded by enemy ninja.
Kaminari tightened her grip on Kamisori. Jessica calmly reached into her kunai pouch while Kaminari put the bottle of antidote back in her scroll pouch. The four enemy ninja attacked with raised kunai. Jessica whipped around and flung four shuriken at the attacking ninja. The enemy nin deflected the star-shaped weapons easily.
Kaminari stood protectively over Shino as she lashed Kamisori at the attacking ninja, making the puppet’s head, that was still lodged on the scythe’s blade, fly off Kamisori and fly towards the attacking nins. That projectile missed too.
The only female of the group of attacking ninjas, that where now identified as sound ninjas, made hand signs. “Hypersonic! Hell Bat Screech!” Shouted the female sound ninja. The sound nin opened her mouth a earsplitting screech made Jessica and Kaminari fall to their knees with their hands on their ears. Shino’s insects plugged the insect users ears.
The other three sound ninja landed on branches of trees and flung their kunai at the paralyzed Konoha ninja. The kunai ricocheted away from the trio of leaf ninjas as a bolt of lighting struck the metal. Kaminari glared at the sound ninjas with thunderbolt pupils. The screech had stopped, but the effects of the sound where still in effect.
The enemy ninja smirked at the crippled Hiyori. So they couldn’t get close, nor could they use normal ninja weapons. The sound ninja smirks widened. A challenge, sound ninjas love a challenge that they could play with. One of the male sound ninjas made a few quick hand signs.
“Ninja Art: Boom Box Blast!” A sound wave, so powerful that you could see it, was sent flying toward the three leaf ninja. Just before it would hit, it was dispelled. Jessica had her hands in a praying position as the shield protected her, Kaminari, and Shino.
The sound ninja twitched and frowned. Ok, now they were annoyed. Another male of the squad of sound ninjas pulled out a scroll. “This’ll finish them.” Said the ninja confidently. He bit his thumb and spread his blood over the kanji’s of the scroll. Jessica and Kaminari still couldn’t move properly yet.
“Earth Style: Falling Meteor Jutsu!” Kaminari and Jessica’s eyes widened as a very large piece of rock came flying out of the sky and headed straight for them. Jessica couldn’t stop a rock THAT big in her current condition, but concentrated on the shield. Maybe with some luck, the rock would bounce off.
Not likely.
An explosion could be heard for miles as the rock exploded and little pieces of rock bounced off the shield. Dust blackened the air and visibility became close to zero. *What just happened?!* Kaminari mentally screamed to Jessica.
*I think we’re just saved again, or we are incredibly lucky that someone’s explosive tag landed on the rock.* Jessica thought back while keep the shield up. The dust began to clear and the silhouette of a person. Continuing to clear, the now restored visibility revealed two things. One, the sound ninja lying in their own pool of blood, and two--
“Mr. Abruame!” Kaminari and Jessica said greatly relieved. The man in the big collared, green coat nodded at the girls protecting his son. Jessica dispelled the shield while Kaminari deactivated Hiyorime. That was easy, trying to stand, however, was a different story.
The effects of that sound girl’s screech left Jessica and Kaminari very uncoordinated and unbalanced. Kaminari fell out of the tree. Jessica, who was recovering much quicker then the electric Hiyori caught Kaminari with her psychic abilities and landed her safely back on the branch she had previously been standing on.
Kaminari face grew hot as that uncomfortable embarrassed feeling swarmed her stomach and face. I…just fell out of a tree. IN FRONT OF SHINO AND HIS DAD!! Mentally cried Kaminari. Shibi Abruame didn’t seem to notice the Hiyori’s embarrassment as he made his way to his son.
“He was poisoned,” Shibi said ‘listening’ to one of his son’s insects. He then turned to the slightly red Kaminari. “May I see the antidote you gave him?” Shibi asked. Kaminari blinked and pulled out the antidote bottle with five remaining purple pills inside.
“He’s thirteen like me and I guessed his weight, so one pill should have dispelled the poison inside him.” Kaminari explained as she handed the bottle to Shibi. Shibi raised an eyebrow at the blue haired girl in front of him before examining the antidote in the bottle.
“Where did you obtain an antidote as strong as this?” Shibi asked while looking at Kaminari. What is this twenty questions now? Kaminari thought slightly irritated.
“My aunt Kasumi Hiyori made it. When it comes to poisons, chemicals, or medical related issues, she’s the one to talk to.” Kaminari said, putting her scythe back to its rightful place and looking at Jessica. *Jessica, go on ahead and help Naruto. I’ll stay here with Shino and Mr. Twenty-Questions* Kaminari thought to Jessica
Jessica grinned as she nodded. *Alright.* Jessica thought back before turning to the direction Naruto was in. Jessica looked back at her friend. *And Kaminari,* Kaminari raised her eyebrow, signaling Jessica to continue. Jessica smirked, *You should be nice to your future father-in-law*
Kaminari’s face turned a new shade of dark red. *JESSICA!!* Jessica laughed as she took off toward Naruto, leaving Kaminari behind with the two Abruame clan members.
