In my Dream
Chapter 19

Kisame reached for his sword. “I’ve had it with these two. I’m going to finish this,” she said as she swung his sword at the two girls.

Before the sword came upon either of the girls, it stopped altogether—a handheld in place just inches away from Saya’s face.

Two figures stood in front of the girls facing Kisame.

“Aren’t you too old to play with little girls?” said the figure holding Kisame’s sword. Kisame looked at the figure. The person had dark black hair tied up in a long ponytail that hung high from his head and down to his back, and he had dark green eyes. He wore a small dark green body armor covering his chest, stomach, and back and had some shoulder guards. He only wore a black short-sleeved shirt under the armor; he had many seals going up and down his arms. He had black pants, the usual black sandals, and two broadswords hanging from his waist.

The moment Kisame looked into his eyes, he could feel him piercing into his soul without any effort. He tried to put more force into the sword, but he still couldn't move it.

“I don’t know who you two are, but you guys stepped into the wrong battle,” said Kisame as he looked at the other figure.

The other figure was about two inches taller, six feet four inches tall. He, too, had long hair, but unlike the other one, it was loose. His hair was blood red. Much of it lay on his back; some went over his shoulder and in front. His eyes were the same color.

He wore a black open vest on his upper body that showed off his well-toned body. He had gray baggy pants. A red sash around his waist had a long end that hung down. He also had black sandals, but from the top of the sandal to the end of his pants, which ended in his shins, he had small red sashes covering them.

When Kisame looked him in the eyes, his feeling was similar to that of the other guy but also different. Looking into his eyes, he felt like he was being swallowed completely.

The one holding the sword raised his other hand, which had an apple, and took a bite. “Well, maybe you shouldn’t know who we are; otherwise, you wouldn’t want to fight.”

A huge roar and boom sounded through the sky as lightning and thunder came crashing down nearby.

‘What is up with that?’ Kyuubi thought about the thunder.

“Very well, if that’s the way you want it,” said Kisame, not knowing that the two figures were Kyuubi and Hachibi.

“Who are you guys?” asked a confused Emi.

“Don’t worry, we're here to help you,” said Kyuubi.

“Are you daddy’s friend?” asked Saya.

“You mean the one he talks to?” Emi asked Saya.

“Yes, I’m the friend he . . . talks to,” replied Kyuubi. Kyuubi created a barrier around the girl, stopping the rain from pouring down on them.

Kisame quickly took back his sword and swung it again, only to be blocked by one of Hachibi’s swords. He tossed his apple high into the air and unsheathed his other sword. With it, he slapped Kisame’s sword down, making him stumble, allowing him the chance to give him a roundhouse kick to the head. When Kisame hit the floor, he turned into water.

“Water clone, well, looks like you have some moves after all,” said Hachibi.

“Those little swords don’t measure up to mine,” said Kisame from behind Hachibi, swinging his sword and striking him on his side. Hachibi quickly turned into mud; the mud then began to crawl up Kisame’s sword. The mud then started to cover Kisame’s body completely.

“My swords have been sought out by demons and gods alike, wanting to wield their power. With these swords, I can’t harness the power that your sword can’t even imagine,” replied Hachibi.

Once the mud completely covered Kisame’s body, it began to suck him dry of his chakra.

Some muttering could be heard through the mud, and then suddenly, the mud froze. Once it was completely frozen, the ice just shattered.

“I hope you got more than that,” said Kisame as he shifted, trying to find a sound footing in the mud and water the rain created.

“Oh . . . I got more, all right,” said Hachibi. Kisame and Hachibi were completely drenched; they each ensured they didn’t slip because any mistake could cost them a lot. Hachibi brought his hands together, and some performed seals.

“Earth Storm Jutsu”: Big chunks of rock were pulled out of the ground and began to rotate around Hachibi, increasing in speed. Once they were at top speed, they were launched at Kisame. At this moment, Hachibi tossed his sword high in the air, pulling down on the handle as he threw it, making it spin. He caught the apple he had tossed up before and took another bite.

Kisame started destroying the rock with his sword, being distracted, and he lost track of Hachibi. Kisame looked around and, in the process, got hit by some rock. While being tossed back, Kisame felt a jolt of pain in his back. He looked back to see Hachibi's fist right on his mid-back.

Kisame quickly turned around and countered, still with the apple in one hand. Hachibi dodged, giving Kisame some room to perform a jutsu.

” Swamp Mist Jutsu,” thick dark black mist began to cover the area.

‘Does this idiot think he can beat me like this?’ thought Hachibi.

“It’s over for you . . . if I don’t kill you, this black mist will; once you start to breathe in the mist, it fills up your lungs and stays in there without letting any air in,” said Kisame as he slowly and quietly made his way towards Hachibi.

Hachibi couldn’t see anything in the black mist, and he only knew of Kisame’s presence when he was hit on the side by a powerful kick. At this point, the fog finally was starting to disappear, and before he was pushed away from the impact, Kisame grabbed his hand and pulled him back, kneeling him in the gut. Hachibi could feel the black mist in his lungs.

While Hachibi was in pain, Kisame elbowed him on the head, knocking him to the floor.

“Water Prison Jutsu.” Water started surrounding Hachibi, and it trapped him in a water bubble.

“Well, how about this? You can either die from drowning in water, or you can die from drowning in the black mist,” said Kisame.

With the area now clear of the mist, everyone else could see how the fight was going.

“Well, it took you long enough to get control of the battle, Kisame,” shouted Zetsu.

“I’m sure you wouldn’t be able to handle this if it was you fighting,” Kisame shouted back.

“I doubt that,” replied Zetsu.

On the other side, the girls looked worried.

“He needs help,” said Emi to Kyuubi, hoping that he would go to help him.

“I can’t help him,” replied Kyuubi.

“Why?” asked Saya.

“Because he said he wanted to handle this himself,” answered Kyuubi.

“But look at him; he can’t handle it,” said Saya.

“Yes, he can. Don’t worry; the battle is not over yet,” said Kyuubi.

In this instant, yet another roar of thunder crossed the sky and crashed in the same place as before. Everyone looked at the sky as the thunder was seen for only a second.

“Hurry up and finish him so I can get started on that other fool,” Zetsu said to Kisame as he got everyone’s attention back to the field.

“Yeah, yeah, I got it,” answered Kisame.

“So . . . any last words?” Kisame looked at Hachibi as he asked the question.

Hachibi nodded and said, “Sphere Destroyer Jutsu.” Hachibi started to turn into a mud sphere occupying the water prison. In less than a second, sharp, jagged rocks shot out from every side of the water prison, piercing Kisame in the legs, arms, and stomach, defusing the jutsu.

Hachibi suddenly appeared in front of Kisame and started his assault with only one hand. He landed a couple of punches on his sides and punched him in the face, sending him across the ground.

“WOW, he’s terrific,” said Emi.

“Yeah, it almost looks like he isn’t even trying,” added Saya.

‘I think I’m going to have to get involved in this. I don’t think Kisame will be able to handle this guy alone,' thought Zetsu as he got ready to blindside Hachibi. He performed some seals.

Kyuubi saw Zetsu begin to move, and he knew he would interfere with the battle. Zetsu was supposed to be his fight. He thought about doing something but also wanted to see what Hachibi could do, having to fight both.

Hachibi was about to take the final bite of his apple when he was hit with a paralysis jutsu; Hachibi couldn’t move his body, making his apple fall out of his hand.

“MY APPLE. I had one bite left!” yelled Hachibi as he looked at the now dirt-covered apple; he looked up and saw Zetsu walking up to him, his feet sinking into the muddy ground as he took each step, his cloak as soaked as Kisame’s. It looked like he was getting ready to strike, but

Hachibi didn’t give him a chance.

Hachibi smirked, and without any seals, “Cerberus Chakra Control,” black chakra began to pour out of his body and form into something just in front of him. Once complete, the chakra had become a three-headed demon dog the same size as Hachibi.

“CHARGE,” yelled Hachibi. Then, at the speed of light, the demon dog charged at Zetsu, moving so fast that Zetsu had no time to react. The dog was already attacking his chest, but it was not biting or anything like that. Zetsu looked and saw the dog entering his body forcefully through the chakra points in his chest.

Zetsu stopped half to Hachibi; Zetsu then turned around and started walking towards Kisame.

“My body . . . what did you do?” said Zetsu.

“Well, thanks to the chakra that has entered your body, I can now control you and your chakra through your chakra system, so all I have to do is stop any chakra that you are using to keep me in this jutsu, and I’ll be free again,” Said Hachibi as he stopped any chakra in Zetsu’s body from being used allowing him to move.

Hachibi began to walk towards Kisame also, who was still on the ground, trying to recover from the attacks on him.

Zetsu picked Kisame up and retrained him; he held him still for Hachibi.

“Now it’s time to finish this one off,” Hachibi said, refereeing to Kisame and performing another Jutsu without seals.

“Cerberus Devour,” said Hachibi as his hand became ghost-like. Then he shoved them into Kisame’s body. They just went right through his clothes and skin and into his insides. Hachibi was quickly absorbing Kisame’s chakra.

“I could always use the extra chakra,” said Hachibi, smirking.

Kisame wasted no time in trying to take control of the situation. He used the support from Zetsu, lifted his legs, and pushed Hachibi away. He then took a trip to Zetsu and successfully escaped his grasp. Kisame quickly grabbed his sword and swung it at Zetsu. The shards from the sword were impaled on Zetsu’s arm.

The sword then began draining Zetsu’s chakra, specifically the chakra embedded in him by Hachibi. Once the chakra was all gone, Kisame lifted his sword from Zetsu.

Both Kisame and Zetsu stood up straight, and both were hurt. “Let’s see how you fare with both of us,” said Zetsu.

“Do you think I’ll make a difference?” replied Hachibi.

“Do you think he can win against both?” asked Emi.

“We’ll see,” answered Kyuubi.

“Are you as strong as him?” asked Saya.

“Let me just put it this way: no matter what, those two will die,” replied Kyuubi.

‘They’ll die whether I kill them or he kills them . . . . . . . . . son of bitch is getting all the fun’ though Kyuubi.

Both Kisame and Zetsu charged at Hachibi. He took his fighting stance and waited. When they finally attacked, Hachibi dodged all attacks without losing an inch of ground to either of them.

“You two are starting to bore me.” I think I’ll end this now,’ Hachibi finished in thought.

He shoved his palm into Kisame’s chest, pushing him back; he looked back, seeing a punch coming his way. He ducked and thrust his elbow backward as he nailed Zetsu in the gut and then kicked him to the ground.

Kisame again charged at Hachibi; Hachibi moved faster than Kisame could see and landed a chakra-embedded kick to Kisame’s side. He kicked him on the other side, and with the same chakra in his fist, he uppercut him, sending him flying.

Hachibi turned around and looked at Zetsu, who was on the ground. He lifted his arms, waving them down, and said, “Twin.”

Blades” Both swords came down from the sky, spinning, making them look like saws. The swords had chakra coming out of them, making them as sharp as possible.

Once the swords came crashing down on Zetsu, his body was no longer one whole but three pieces. Zetsu was barely alive as he looked at his body now in pieces. He looked at Hachibi and then fell dead, and blood surrounded his body.

Hachibi turned around and looked at Kisame, struggling to stand up. He had nothing left. Black chakra started to come out of

Hachibi’s body again formed into the demon dog.

“Cerberus, I think it's time for your meal,” said Hachibi as he pointed at Kisame.

The demon dog charged at Kisame. Kisame tried to defend against the dog, but Cerberus was too much for him. With nothing left to protect, the three heads started to tear apart Kisame’s body as they devoured it.

Hachibi turned around the other, watching the battle, “Well, that was that,” he said.

Hachibi walked towards Zetsu and picked up his swords. He let the rain wash away the blood and then sheathed them.

This battle was over.

Kyuubi and the girls just looked at Hachibi; the girls looked at him in amazement while Kyuubi just waited for him to approach them.

Hachibi began to walk towards them, and once near, Kyuubi spoke, I think we should get to a dry location," he said as he looked at the rain, making the blood in the field spread out even more.

"WOW, that was amazing," said Emi.

"Yeah, can you teach me that?" asked Saya.

“Maybe some other time. We have to leave right now,” said Hachibi.

“Wait, we should go back and help Daddy,” said Saya.

“No, if we go, you two will only get in the way,” said Kyuubi.

“He’s right. Your father needs to fight without any restraints,” added Hachibi.

“Well, what if you two go and help him?” asked Saya.

“Yeah, we don’t want anything to happen to Daddy,” said Emi.

“If he needs us, he will summon us; if not, we will stay with you,” said Hachibi.

“Your father’s orders are to protect you,” said Kyuubi.

“Your father wanted us to protect you and to get you somewhere safe,” said Hachibi.

“We can’t leave you two alone. We should go,” said Kyuubi.

The four continued to head south.

“Where did you guys come from?” asked Emi.

“From here,” said Hachibi, reaching for Saya’s necklace.

Emi noticed that she, too, had one, “Uh, where did those come from?” she said.

“It’s a small present from your father,” said Kyuubi.

“We were summoned when you two little ladies started to expel some of our chakras from the crystals, and that happened when you two got mad,” said Hachibi.

“But if you guys are here, how can Daddy summon you?” asked Emi.

“Well, you see, these crystals are connected to your father through the seals on them, so any help you get from us, or any extra chakra you get, is because your father is lending it to you to protect you,” said Kyuubi.

“Yes, but you see, most of our entities and chakras are within these crystals, so I guess you can see that your dad loves it if he gives you so much power,” added Hachibi.

“WOW!” exclaimed both girls.

The girls could be happier with what Hachibi told them; he was right, and their father greatly loved them.
