Chapt. 13: Running Away Isn't An Option

Zabuza Momochi. A rouge ninja who I thought was here for the old man, but who is here for me. First the demon brothers and now this guy... I don't understand what's going on. 


"What do you want with Mokou?" Yuuki steps in front of me. 


"I thought it would be nice to have a one on one chat with the girl. Looks like today is my lucky day." Zabuza smirked through the bandages. "Hand her over to me and I might spare your life." He threatened. 


"Not going to happen. You'll have to get through me first." Yuuki got in front of me, blocking my view of Zabuza as he inhaled deeply. 


"Don't." Kakashi stopped him before Yuuki could attack. "He's on a different level. He isn't like the other rogues that we faced. I'll deal with him. Do not engage in this fight. Your only mission is to protect the bridge builder." 


Kakashi slowly lifted his headband to reveal an red eye. I wasn't sure what it was, but it looked interesting to look at. 


"Looks like I get to see the sharingan in action." Zabuza smirked again. 


"Sharingan? What's that? Never heard of it." Yuuki said and looked at me. 


"It's an eye technique of some kind. My father told me about it when I was younger. But I'm not sure how it works." I replied. 


"It's a rare power. It allows the user to see and comprehend genjutsu, taijustsu, and ninjustsu and reflect the attack back. The sharingan is a special and a rare form of power." Sasuke explained. So it's basically an eye technique that copies. 


Suddenly, a thick mist began to form around us. It was hard to see as we got in formation to protect the bridge builder. "Looks like I have to eliminate you first, Kakashi." Zabuza vanished within the mist. 


"There." I detected to him quickly. He stood on the water as he already performed a hang sign. The water surrounded him as he disappeared again. 


Around us became silent as we scanned the area to look for him. With the mist, we couldn't see a thing. And it was only getting thicker. 


This reminds me of the times my home was ambushed. In a situation like this, I know how to handle it. 


Feel and hear the faintest of movements. Concentrate on the little sounds that I hear. Predict where they hide and show up. Zabuza can't hide from somebody who has dealt with something like this for 6 years. 


"Get down!" I shouted and twirled around, followed by a kick. Fire swirled and danced when I did this. 


I hear a faint grunt and I look over to my right to see Zabuza. "There he is!" Yuuki pointed out. I could see the faint burn mark on his chest due to the flames. 


"You detected me before I could make my move. You're more talented than I thought, Mokou Fujiwara." Zabuza held his chest to hide the burn as he glared at me. 


I realized that I was looking a clone and not the real Zabuza. Yuuki screeched in another direction and we saw something move within the mist. 


Another Zabuza landed a few feet beside the clone. "He made a clone of himself at the same time he performed his jutsu." Yuuki stayed by my side as we both glared at him. Is he after the bridge builder or me now? "Which one is the real Zabuza? How many clones did he make?" 


"He's only able to make one. If he had made another clone we would have seen it by now." I replied.


With two clones, he could go for either one of us. Will Kakashi be strong enough to defeat both clones? He said it himself that Zabuza was on a different level compared to the other rouges. The team are only genin and they won't be able to stop Zabuza if they were to engage in this fight. 


"Die!" Yuuki and I heard Zabuza's voice from behind. Yuuki quickly grabbed me and moved out of the way while at the same time Kakashi clashed his kunai with Zabuza's giant sword. "You're quick on your feet, Kakashi." 


"I won't allow you to harm any of my students." Kakashi glared. 


"Nice try. But I'm not that easy to fool." Zabuza's eyes widened and Kakashi sliced a water clone. Knowing this, Yuuki and I stayed back to back to guard ourselves and each other. 


Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke continued to stay in formation in order to keep the bridge builder safe. 6 against 1 and Zabuza is stronger than all of us. This is irritating me. 


Suddenly Yuuki is kicked away from me and so was Kakashi. The two of them landed in the water. "Yuuki!" I shouted and looked for Zabuza. But he's nowhere near me. "Yuuki! Kakashi! Get out of the water! Now!" 


"Huh? The water is so heavy. It's dense." Yuuki mentioned as Zabuza appeared behind them, performing another jutsu. 


"Water Prison Jutsu!" Zabuza placed both of his hands behind Kakashi and Yuuki, and created a water sphere like prison, trapping them both inside. "This prison is made of water, but stronger than steel. It'll be hard to fight out of it when you can't move." 


Kakashi was right about this guy. He's way different from the other rogues. Different from the rogues I've faced while being in the forest. He's a lot stronger than he looks. 


"Now then," Zabuza turns to me and smirks with wide eyes. 


"Everyone! Get away from here as far as you can! You can't win this fight! He's using all of his power to keep us in here, so he can only fight you with his water clone. But the clone can't go far from his real body! If you get away from him, he can't follow!" 


I'm not going to run away. He has Yuuki. I can't leave without him. Even if we were to run, with his speed he'll catch up to us in no time and kill us all. 


"Hey! Sasuke! What are you doing?!" I shout when he suddenly runs pass me. He threw shuriken to distract him before jumping in the air with a kunai in hand. But he wasn't fast enough. 


Zabuza caught Sasuke by the throat and flung him to the ground, then stepped on him like some bug. Idiot... What part of a whole different level from the other rogues did he not understand? What made him think he could take him on?


"Too easy." Zabuza smirked again and raised his sword. Before he could slash down on Sasuke, I sent a wave of fire at his direction. Seeing this made him jump away and off of Sasuke. 


"Stay out of this and stay put." I said while walking pass Sasuke. "I'll handle him. After all, I'm the one he wants." 


"Don't do it, Mokou! He'll kill you!" Kakashi shouted at me. 


"Run away, Mokou! Don't worry about me! I'll be fine! Just go!" Yuuki said. 


"And leave you behind? That's the one thing I don't want to do. I don't like abandoning people who I'm fond of. Keep that in mind, okay?" 


Zabuza glared at me as the mist got thicker, but not by his doing. Slowly flames began to surround the area. 


"So," I close my eyes and snap my fingers as a ball of fire appears in the palm of my hair. "Do you want to fight?"
