Ch. 11
Chapter 11
“The Burning Ambition of the Twin Incarnations"

“But….why do you seem so serene?” Ruuke starts to change back, “Don’t you fear death?” he said with a sad but a little confused look on his face.
“No we don’t Ruuke.” said Kotsu.
“We have never feared death” said Tonimi, “Even though we are the embodiment of Kuromo we have out memories of our old lives, Kotsu and I. We are orphaned at a young age and lives alone in the mountains…we could never come down. The people of the village below feared us for our special abilities and if we were caught in the village we would get beat…but we didn’t care”
“We were alone” continued Kotsu, “Any sort of acknowledgement was enough for us, even though they hated us….we loved them…but there was something that was always missing from us…we never had a purpose in our lives, we were children with no purpose to live on, no hope, no dreams…but then Kuromo saw us, he acknowledged us with out us feeling pain, he saw our special ness not as a curse but as a gift, so he took us in.”
“He put us through rigorous training to home out skills,” intervened Tonimi, “but there was something he always saw us lacking, our will to kill. So he told us we need to be reborn from his flesh, we agreed to go with it. After we were reborn we then had a purpose, a purpose to kill all who oppose our master and to protect him at any cost…but now…
“But now, “said Kotsu, “We have no purpose, we are broken and unusable weapons, broken beyond repair. So please Ruuke save us, please…”
They say at the same time, “Kill us”
Ruuke looks at them…perplexed by what they are saying, ‘they never had a purpose...just like me and Maci starting out. We never had anyone to watch over us and everyone seemed to hate us, but now I understand…’ Ruuke looks at his hands, ‘they....they were afraid of us…’
“Ruuke, why do you hesitate…” they ask.
“Well…because you both are…just like me and my sister…we never had anyone starting out…but then came along Kiena and Sioshi-sensei…I’m sorry that I have to kill you….but is that is your wish….I have to oblige…maybe in another time and place we could have been close,” he take out 2 Kunai Knifes and starts to run at them.
Both Kotsu and Tonimi say in their minds, ‘Thank you Ruuke, don’t give up on your dreams, and don’t give up on everything you do, keep everyone you love….safe.’
Meanwhile…
“This is the end of the line for you Kuromo,” Sioshi starts to make hand signs and then ends it by crossing her arms again with her clawed. A black aura starts to surround her hands and she opens her eyes slowly, “The ultimate technique, Claws of Darkness!!” she then starts to run at Kuromo.
The twins sense the imminent demise of their master so they grab Ruukes arms before he strikes, “Were sorry Ruuke” said Kotsu, “But…” “We are not ready to die here just yet” continued Tonimi, they them both disappear right in front of Kuromo and they both take the hits from Sioshi…still with the will to protect their master they make sure that Sioshi could not get away. The snakes disappear in a cloud of smoke and Kuromo grasps his sword, ‘He would slash right through his own flesh in blood…to get to me!’ Right before the blade struck Sioshi dodged with the 2 corpses in hand. She got to a safe distance and laid the 2 down and closed their eyelids, “May your souls as pure of light itself rest in peace” she said kneeling between them but Kuromo was right behind her getting ready to strike, “WATCH YOUR SELF SIOSHI!!” he then slashes but Sioshi was too quick and back kicked Kuromo in the chin.
The mist started to subside things were beginning to become clear. Being rid of the 2 incarnations Ruuke walked back toward Kiena and kneeled by her, picked her up and held her lifeless body in his arms. “She’s really gone…isn’t she…Ruuke…?” asked Maci, Ruuke just nodded his head yes. Maci could see the tears welling in his eyes so the tears started to well in hers. The rock started to pulsate power and then started to glow a bright and brilliant color or blue like the sky. A figure immerged from the rock and walked over to the genin sobbing. She was as white as the snow, her hair was a light brown and her eyes were an aqua color. Hinata, Naruto and Kiba noticed her first; they were all filled with an unpleasant joy because in seeing the figure they were filled with serene grace…but also an unrelenting sadness. Then the figure kneeled by Ruuke, Maci, and the unmoving Kiena. The never spoke once but Ruuke just seemed to know what she wanted, he placed Kiena back on the ground and Maci and himself back away a little. The figure entered Kiena, and for a moment Kiena glowed, the figure then exited and Kiena took a gasp for air but was unconscious. The figure then looked at Ruuke and made a gesture like “I’m watching you” but she smiled and touched his forehead and went into the thin mist toward Sioshi.
Sioshi was winning the battle Kuromo seemed to slow down but Sioshi was faster then ever. Kuromo kept on trying to slash but Sioshi would black the wooden sword with her hand and then either Kick him in the face or punch him. The figure then Appeared out of the mist and took over Kuromo. The aura of the demon in the sword appeared around Kuromo, He started to scream out in pain. The aura went back in the sword and the sword started to float and then stabbed Kuromo in the back trying to get the Figure out. It seemed mad for making it get out of its host body. The figure came out and the sword stabbed toward it but a barrier a sacred barrier protected her and caused the demon within the sword to be sealed away forever, then the sword feel flat. The figure looked at Sioshi and smiled then went to the twins and pulled out their souls, the bodies disappeared and the souls turned into a necklace and a Talisman. Sioshi knew that she wanted her to give them to Maci so she took the items and said, “Thank you oh spirit of the sacred springs, may your divine power protect us all” she bowed; the spirit bowed her head a little and then disappeared back into the rock. Sioshi then walked to the genin and took them back to the house.
The next day they all said their goodbyes, Maci nudged Hinata a little bit about liking Naruto but then stopped, Kiena hugged Kiba, Naruto, and Hinata; Naruto and Kiba both blushed. Ruuke just gave a gesture and smiled goodbye. Sioshi gave them all some lunch for the trip and sent them on their way. They all may be different but they will all be friends until the very end.
