Two Paths (Sequel to Why Me)

Team Hebi

They all got into a fighting stance.

"Fight her," Sasuke's deep emotionless voice ordered.

The three started to charge at me so I got ready. I couldn't really focus though because of Sasuke. There he was, the man who broke my heart , standing not even ten feet away from me. He got taller and looked more manly but the more I looked at him, the more I started to get angry.

"Focus Mariah focus!" I thought.

Suigetsu came from behind me, I noticed that he had Zabuza's sword and was going for a swing at my mid section. Before the blade could hit me I jumped and landed on the blade. I did a back flip and put my hand on the top of his head which made him lose balance and fall.

The guy with orange hair came and tried to punch me but I quickly grabbed his fist and threw him over my shoulder with my strength. Karin tried for a kick but I slid under her then kicked her back towards Sasuke. As she was going to fly into her he dodged. I couldn't resist the erg to look at him so when I did I got lost in his eyes which caused me to get distracted.

Suigetsu went for another slice but I regained focus and took out my sword and deflected it. The other two stayed back as we engaged in a sword fight to see who was the best swordsman. He took a swing at my legs, I jumped over him went for a jab at his abdomen, he deflected. It went on like that for a while until I caught him off guard and landed a hit on his arm. When my sword went through his arm it turned into water. I was baffled for a minute but analyzed the situation.

"Okay so I'm guessing he can turn into water when hit so since he's made out of water he should be weak against lightning." I thought.

I got a good distance from him and started to do some hand signs. He tried not to give me a chance to finish them but it was too late to stop me.

"Lightning style: Lightning bolt!" I shouted while holding my arm up.

The lightning bolt started to form in my hand, when it was finished I threw it at him with such speed that he didn't have time to react. When he got hit he screamed in pain and fell to his knees.

(Sasuke's POV)

"This girl........she could be very useful...." I thought as she fought the three.

Juugo came and tried to punch her but she quickly grabbed his fist and threw him over her shoulder with. Karin went for a kick but she slid under her then kicked her back towards me.

"Damn Karin, can't she be more useful?" I thought annoyed.

I dodged her before she could hit me. The girl looked over at me and made eye contact not looking away. All that I could see was pain and anger in her eyes but she focused on the fight. Suigetsu went for another slice but she took out her sword and deflected it. He took a swing at her legs, she jumped over him went for a jab to his abdomen, he deflected.

 "Her sword skills are better than Suigetsu's," I thought.

She got a good distance from him and started to do some hand signs. I didn't recognize them.

 "Lightning style: Lightning bolt!" She shouted while holding her arm up.

The lightning bolt started to form in her hand, when it was finished she threw it at him with such speed that he didn't have time to react. When he got hit he screamed in pain and fell to his knees.

"She's good at analyzing situations," I observed. "She's also quick on her feet and thinks ahead."

Karin and Juugo were about to help him but I held out my arm.
