Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

It's time to finally get back to this. If you're in orchestra (or band might like) then listen to this Irish song. If you're a Led Zeppelin fan, then listen to this. If you're a Queen fan, then listen to this. Now those songs are introduced, I can now start with the fanfiction.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An awkward silence was left with Asuka and Toukun. A realization of truth came to Asuka as she stood there with her kunai knife on guard. She saw herself possibly killing Toukun, and then a tear came to her eye that slowly rolled down her cheek.

Toukun saw this tear and stood down for a split second. He got back on guard quickly and yelled out, "So you're crying now? Is that because you think you might have to kill me? Well! That won't be happening!"

Asuka wiped the tear away with her sleeve. She cried out, "Shut up, Toukun!" Her anger transfered to her hand to throw a shuriken at him then lunge at him with another kunai in her same hand. She contacted with Toukun's sword with both kunai's crossed so that he couldn't move it. "Now I have you!" she shouted. Her right hand had a kunai hidden in the palm of her hand. She quickly strafed right and threw it at his head.

"No you don't!" Toukun yelled as he ducked and did a side flip. With the sword hilt still in his hand, he performed hand signs, creating a mist in the air to make himself seem invisible.

"What? I thought you were a sand ninja Toukun!" Asuka shouted into the mist with her kunai on guard and crossed.

Toukun laughed evilly. "I was a sand ninja. But when I met Sindri, he taught me water ninjutsu. So did Orochimaru." He ran past Asuka quickly to confuse her. "After learning how to perform water ninjutsu, I figured that I should learn how to perfect these tricks." He quickly ran past Asuka again to make her head turn. "After perfecting the ones I know, I figured, 'Hey! Why don't I become one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist.'" He ran past Asuka one more time to make her scared at this point. "After acquiring this very special sword, I perfected and created little tricks for it. You will now see these at the value of your life!" he yelled.

Toukun then swung downward on top of Asuka's head, but she cross blocked it with her kunai.

Asuka asked, "It's the same thing over again." She got ready another kunai in her right hand.

"Not so fast!" he yelled out. Toukun pushed harder onto Asuka and the spiked teeth on this saw-like sword began to spin like an actual saw. The teeth began chipping away at the kunai's edges, soon making little metal trinkets out of them.

Asuka thought, "What? How is this possible?" She jumped out of the way before the sword got to her body. When the sword came down, it took out the ground and dug a small hole. Asuka was now panting; while looking at her kunai she noticed that they were duller than a blade of grass. "H-how'd you do that?" she asked.

"Oh, you mean the saw? Quite easy," Toukun snickered. He smirked, saying, "You see, I can focus my chakra into this saw and make it into a saw. This sword's name... is the Sawfish!" He held it up for Asuka to see and started the saw on the sword. "While chakra is a major element in creating the spin, it can't move without the chains on it to let it move. Then it rips up its opponent or anything else it comes in contact." Toukun dropped the sword to his side, almost touching the ground and making a small wind current that blew the grass.

"What's the fish part mean?" Asuka asked. She threw the dulled kunai at Toukun then got two more out.

Toukun snickered once more as he slashed the kunai with the spinning saw to turn them to dust. He stated, "You may not live long enough to see that part, my dear Asuka. It's a shame. You look too beautiful to die. But I guess not." He came at Asuka with the Sawfish spinning at full speed. When he swung it at a horizontal height as Asuka's arm, she fell to the ground at the last moment and got in a stance to kick him in the stomach.

After Toukun staggered back a few feet, Asuka got up to ask, "Well, what happened to your sand ninja heritage? Why'd you throw it away along with your puppets?"

The overconfident sand ninja smirked. Stating, "I hated those puppets. I was forced to train with them day and night until I passed out. Then I started training again in the morning right after I got breakfast. Even though I trained until I felt those puppets were apart of my soul... they were never apart of me, though. I never accepted them fully. Once I finished my training at Orochimaru's, I went back to the sand village to get rid of the puppets in front of my trainer's face." He sighed, "But... my trainer was dead." He balled his fist up, "I wanted to kill her so badly. She died when she saved 'Gaara of the Sand.'" Toukun said the famous name snottilly. By this time he had stopped the chakra flow into the sword to not have it spinning anymore.

Asuka then said, "But you kept Senshi? Heh, what book did he take away for you? Wait! Let me guess! Come Come Paradise!"

"Um... n-no... that wasn't it..." Toukun nervously stammered. He said under his breath, "A sequel to it."

Then the female leaf ninja ran at Toukun while he was distracted by his thoughts. She already knew that he had been reading those books since the Chunin Exams.

Asuka grabbed two shuriken each hand to throw them at him. While those were thrown, she had already gotten one more kunai each hand to have four total. She jumped up, throwing two kunai, and then used a substitution jutsu.

Toukun used the flat side of the Sawfish to block the shuriken then swung it over his head twice to make a small whirlwind for directing the kunai to another direction. Finally, he cut at Asuka to find it was just a substitution jutsu with a log cut in half in her place. "Blast! A substitution!" he shouted in his mind. He found that the mist started to recede from the sun in the high sky.

Asuka then came from behind Toukun with two kunais ready to stab into him. She first threw two shurikens that hit his back; they hit right between the shoulder blades, just below where the brain stem connects and in the direct middle. Toukun turned around and hit Asuka with full force in the face with the Sawfish like a bat with the flat side. She stumbled to the ground with a tears in her shirt at the chest and cuts on her chest and cheek. Blood trickled down these cuts as she lay on the cold ground, exhausted. Her head turned to face the mighty Toukun. Her face covered in blood and sadness.

The S-ranked ninja walked up to Asuka. "Tsk, tsk. I gave you a choice, Asuka. You could have come with me. Are you sure you don't want to change your mind?" Toukun asked with shurikens stuck in his back, blood trickling down his shirt and staining.

"Go to hell, Toukun! You're horrible! I'd rather die than love you this way!" Asuka yelled. She spat on his shoes.

Toukun gripped his sword and fists tighter and tighter. "Okay... if you want it that way. I can arrange it," he told her. With one hand, he raised his sword vertically, ready to strike Asuka in the chest at any moment.

It seems as though Toukun's going to kill Asuka. But what about Fenix, Rin, and Sindri. They still need to fight. And if anyone's curious about the Come Come Paradise book and don't know what is, then pm me about it. I'll tell you why it'd be funny in that situation if you don't know why. And Fenix, Rin, and Sindri's battle will be the same time as Asuka and Toukun's battle. I was just too lazy to actually type them at the same time. It's hard!
