FORGIVENESS

"Water dragon" Hibiki yelled.

A water dragon came out from underneath her with it's mouth wide open and she jumped up and froze the dragon and the water around them. Hibiki jumped out the water to avoid being frozen underwater.

"Lightning blade" Kakashi yelled as he attacked her with his lightning blade from her right. She slipped herself into the dragon mouth to evade Kakashi lightning blade.

"Beast summoning: giant elephant" A giant elephant fell out the sky and landed right on the frozen dragon, crushing it. The impact caused a slight fog.

"Did we get her, brother?" Kakashi asked.

"I don't know" Hibiki answered. " Let's wait and see"

They watched silently as the fog slowly clear out. The sound of gentle clapping broke the silence.

"Nicely done" Mia said, and Kato was behind her. He must have escape from the dragon and saved Mia before the elephant was able to land. "How are you able to predict my move?"

"That didn't do anything" Kakashi said, surprisingly. " I've used my lightening blade twice. If I use it again, I won't have enough chakra to keep going on"

"I don't think they will be able to go on longer" Hibiki said. "Or maybe they can't go any longer"

"You grown to be strong, just as your father said" Mia said and turned. "I'll be going, it seems like we can't take him from you"

Mia walked away slowly as Kato followed her from behind. Hibiki was hesitant, he wanted to call her back but decided not to after he finally did.

"Wait" Hibiki called. She stopped and turned around, I could tell that what she wanted him call her back. "What was his last word"

"I will only tell if you tell how you were able to predict my moves" Mia smiled waving her finger, signifying NO.

"It's simple, I just observe you" he replied. I was till on guard. By the looks on Kato face, he was not happy with this but he doesn't look like he's going to attack, so I lower my guard. "Your partner, Kato uses blood battle technique, which is a unique technique but it's only weakness is the water. He can only control it because of it contains calcium and oxygen, clapping his hand isn't to activate his technique but avoid too much oxygen, carbon dioxide and hydrogen, in other words he avoids water because it makes the blood to lose It's form. I already know that but I wanted my bro to figure that on his own"

"What!!?, What if I died!!!?" I yelled at him.

"That's explains Kato" Mia said. "But what about me?"

"Using my water dragon to hold Kato underwater, I decided to go for you" Hibiki said, he was trying to sound cool. "I wanted to go attack you at once but you still keep your guard up, so I have to catch you off guard. So, I pretended to faint when you punched me and told Kakashi to let himself get captured. When you noticed that I didn't attack, you intend to leave as quick as possible. That's when I used my water dragon"

"But you failed" Mia added. "And the water dragon is an ancient spirit, which means, there is only one. Summoning it again will make it leave Kato and attack me. You can use normal summoning technique too, why didn't you use another animal?"

"It wasn't strong enough to hold you and i know Kato would escape, so I thought when Kato got out, he won't be able to attack because he's still wet" Hibiki answered. "I was expecting you to freeze it. That's why I made it open it's mouth extra wide, enough for a lady to fit in"

"So you wanted me to jump into the dragon mouth" Mia asked.

"Yes" Hibiki answered. "You don't have any choice left. Kakashi could easily break your ice if you tried to shield yourself and you know that. So, you jumped in and I'll be able to use my elephant to crush you, then I could take care of Kato before he dries off. But I didn't expect you'll injure yourself so Kato can use your blood to help you"

"Thank you for the information" Mia waved at us while walking away into the mist that suddenly appeared. "Next time, I'll take extra precautions"

"Wait" Hibiki called out.

"What is it now?" Kato answered.

"My father last word?" Hibiki asked.

"Hibiki, don't cry. You are a man now" Mia said in a weak shaking voice. "That was his last word"

Tears flowed down his cheeks as he whispered softly " thank you" as Mia and Kato walk away and disappeared into the mist. That was my second fight, and it's only gonna get worst. I looked up the sky, the sun shines so brightly, I used my hand to shield my eyes.

"And I don't know what they want from me" I said absent mindedly.

"KAKASHI!!!, HIBIKI!!!"

We both turned around and saw our class girls.

"YOU BOTH DID GREAT, THAT WAS AWESOME,WHY NOT COME LET'S TEAT YOU!!"

There were all saying stuff randomly that I couldn't hear them all but at least, now the class girls notice me. I turned to walk to them, but my body was too heavy to move. I looked at Hibiki, I think he was facing the same difficulty. My breathing became heavy as I fell into the water. I guessed, this is what happens when you use too much chakra.

***

Hibiki never had the normal childhood other children have. He was an unwanted child, a result of the mistake made by two different individuals. Hibiki father was a supernatural, blessed with the beast summoning technique and his mother was a slut.

His father just came back from a mission where he lost his teammates and after being cursed by a curse user, the only way to break the curse is when another curse user curse him. Before curse user are banned from attending the Academy because of curse technique was believed to be related to witchcraft, which was prohibited. With that he couldn't do anything, he was told he won't live more than a year, but because of his ancient beast, he could live up to eight years as he rot from inside, till there is nothing left.
