   Chapter 12!
*This starts to get violent lots of fighting!*
Chapter 12: The Misty Fortress!
After Keiko made sure we were all okay, we made our way into the fortress. "Let me take care of any ninja who try to get in
our way." Rima whispered to us. "I would fell bad if your girls got hurt." Keiko glared at him. "You do'nt need to worry ab-
out us, Rima." I thought. We came to a stairwell. "Is'nt there an elevator?!" Mizu complained. "Shut up fool!" Rima put his
hand over her mouth. "Do you want anyone else to find out we're here?" He whispered angrily to her. "No...I'm sorry." She
said quietly in a muffled voice. We walked up the flight of stairs. Five ninja jumped down into the room from the stairs
leading up on the other side of the room. "I'm sorry, but Master Toshi is busy. We cannot allow you to bother him." One of
the hooded ninja said. "Well, let's just say we have an appointment!" Rima,(acting before thinking as always) charged right
in and began beating on the ninja that had spoke. One of the other ninja grabbed him and tossed him down the stairs.Oh no!
RIMA!!" Mizu shouted, running after him. "Hold them off. I'll take care of them quickly but I need a minute." Keiko told me,
then she began to say some sort of spell. I pulled out some roses. "Rose needle jutsu!" And threw them. The ninja were rea-
dy to dodge, but when the roses turned into needles, it threw them off. "What kind of jutsu is this?" One ninja said, as
the needles stuck in them. "Wind spirit! Summoing jutsu!" I heard Keiko shout from behind me. Hundreds of transparent
ghost-like creatures came through the walls and attacked. In no time, the creatures had beaten all five ninja down. Mizu
came back up the stairs, trying her hardest to help Rima, who was looking tired. "We can't go on much longer..." Keiko
said, looking at Rima sadly. "Rima, if we have to fight anymore, you stay out of it. We can handle anything else. Rima
looked at her like she did'nt know what she was talking about. "I..can't..let...you..get..hurt!" He said. "Do'nt worry
about us! We'll be fine." Mizu grinned. We made our way to the next floor. It was covered in mist. "Those were mere genin.
Worthless. We are much stronger than them. Four ninja came out of the mist. "I'll take care of them!" Mizu said, stepping
forward. "How can you fight them when you can't see?" I asked her. "Yeah..do'nt do it!" Rima said. "Do'nt fret. I'm
psychic, plus I have the byakugan. I can sense them without even having to see. "You still can't handle four chunin alone.
I'll go with you." Keiko said. They dissappared into the mist. I sat down beside Rima. He looked upset. "I'm sorry I could-
'nt protect you.." He said. I looked at him. "Rima, do'nt worry about it. We may not look that strong, but we are skilled
ninja. You do'nt need to worry about protecting us." I said smiling at him. Rima looked into the mist. "I'm still going to
blame myself if anything happens to Mizu." He said, worrying. "I do'nt think they know it, but Rima and Mizu seem to be
falling in love." I thought, holding back a giggle.
Soon, Keiko and Mizu came out of the mist, slightly injured. Rima sighed in relief. "There are more stairs on the other
side." Keiko said. "They really need to install an elevator!" Mizu said. I giggled at her joke. Rima just grinned and turn-
ed his head. On the next floor, we encountered three more ninja. The room was clear and Rima was feeling better, so him and
I jumped in and fought those ninja. We suffered some damagae, but won in the end. "Are you guys okay?" Mizu asked as we
walked to the next stairway. "I hope we get to the top soon!" Keiko said. "All of these ninja are wearing us out!" On the
next floor, only two ninja were there. They looked even stronger. "We are'nt like the weaklings before." One ninja said.
"We are Master Toshi's personal guards." The other said. "I do'nt care if you are his mother! I'm taking you out!" Rima
said, fed up with all of the fights. He punched the ground, and it cracked. The force of the punch caused the whole fort-
ress to start crumbling. "We better get out of here!" Mizu shouted. Keiko looked around. She pointed to a window. "Right!"
Rima kicked the window and broke the glass. We all jumped out and landed on a nearby tree branch just as the castle began
to crash to the ground. After the dust cleared, two figures stood among the wreckage. "You sure have made a mess of my
beautiful castle." A man in a black robe said, holding and unconsouis Amai. "Amai!!" We all shouted, jumping out of the
tree. The figure beside him stepped up. "Allow me to handle these pests." She said. "I'm Kusuri. Master Toshi's loyal
servant. I am also his strongest and most relaiable guard." She said, giving us and evil grin.
