Chapter shout out! Natiosuta, littleanimefan2001 and gillykat!!!

I don't own any of the characters that are in the manga/anime Naruto, but the ones I do own are the ones that I made myself.

Also, it has now been ten chapters since the crazy old hag Suteki has come into the story!!! HUZAH FOR CRAZY PEOPLE!!!!

It’s also been 12 chapters since Kotori was introduced... But who cares about him. Most people just want him dead because he kidnapped Rin.

And the picture on the side is a reminder to everyone what Kotori looks like. How in the world had I managed to make a nice looking guy be so evil and deranged? But you have to admit, he sorta looks like a player... So at least I got that right.

Chapter 44- The long awaited rematch *Cue evil laugh*

---------------

"Rin!!" I yelled as I watched the small girl fall to the ground. She was covered in dirt, bruises, scratches and was gagged with one of her red ribbons that had been ripped from her hair, even both of the ice tiger lilies had been ripped out, making half of it fall down in an unruly mess. Because it was wire that bonded her hands in front of her, the sudden pull, and probably many others resulted of that wire hitting and digging into her skin, making her bleed, and some of her blood had managed to drip on to the store bag that she still held from when I gave it to her, which was just as dirty an tattered as she. But on a side note, if I wasn't super pissed that he had kidnapped my little sister and hurt her I would have been proud of her, there wasn't a single tear in her eyes and she held her head high, even after she had been roughly forced to stand after falling, like she knew that there was nothing to fear right now.

"Why in the hell do you have Rin?!" I yelled at him when he dragged her up off the ground. I would have run to her, but when I took a single step he placed a kunia to her throat. "Let her go! She is just a little girl! She has nothing to do with this fight!!"

"Oh no Harmony, I disagree with you." He said as he applied some pressure to her throat, making Rin whimper a little from the pain. "I would say that she has everything to do with our little fight. You know, when Kabuto told me that you had her all ways hanging around I couldn't believe it, so I went to go see it with my own eyes, but when I did you had ran away with that useless old man on your back, leaving her all alone on the streets. I thought that it showed that she was nothing to you, but when I went down and started talking to her she kept on saying how her 'Onee-chan' will come and find her, and that her. 'Onee-chan' loves her. Do you hear that?! This little bitch talks like she owns you Harmony!!! That's why I had to punish her, because the one that owns you and loves you is me and will only be me!!!" He yelled, and I put him a little higher on my crazy scale than before.

"Owns me?! You are way more delusional then I thoug- “I yelled at him but stopped midway when a shadow loamed overhead. I looked up and saw one of the two giant snakes charging at us.

'HOLY SHIT!!! GIANT SNAKE!!! GIANT SNAKE!! EVASIVE ACTIONS!!! EVASIVE ACTIONS!!!!' Suteki yelled/laughed like a manic at me as I jumped away and landed on a boulder.

"Would you shut up or a second Suteki?!" I yelled back at her as I had to flee from my rock to another to dodge the snake's jaws again. I cursed out loud when I notice I was running out of rocks to shield behind, seeing as it destroyed the last one and its twin was destroying quite a few too.

"Swamp if the underground!" I heard Ojisan yell before the giant snake that lunged at me again stop mid-attack, its jaws only a couple of feet away from me. I looked down to see what stopped it and saw that a majority of its lower body was submerged in a giant swamp. But that wasn't all; a small body on the edge was slowly being sucked in.

"RIN!!" I yelled again as I ran too her, Kotori nowhere in sight. I quickly jumped from rock to rock before I placed some chakra on my feet so I could quickly run across the swam to where she was before I quickly jumped out and ran a little ways away from where Shizune and Obasan where. When I set her down on the ground I took one of the kunias I was holding (I had lost the other one somewhere.... I think I might have thrown it at the snake without thinking.... And it swallowed it...) and cut the wire that was binding her wrist, took out her gag and wrapped bandages around her wrist to stop the bleeding. It was amazing that she was still holding the store bag.

"Rin, are you alright?" I asked her as I checked over her, making sure that i had missed anything. She happily shook her head.

"Mhm! I'm alright now, onee-chan!" She cried as she flung her arms around my neck. I smiled and held her close.

"I'm so sorry I let that happen to you. I promised you that I would never let anything bad happen to you again. That I would protect you, all ways." I whispered to her as I hugged her.

"That's right, because your onee-chan and your onii-san will protect you." I told her before I un-zipped my leather jacket, reveling my bright green tank top underneath, and layed it over her shoulders. "

"That's alright, onee-chan. You here right now, so it doesn’t matter what happened. As long as onee-chan is near nothing bad will ever happen" She whispered back before I loosened my hold on her and stood up from my kneeling position. I smiled down at her. "Now, as I go and take care of the bad guys, you see that lady over there?" I asked her, indicating to Tsuande-Obasan.

"That there is our aunt, and just like I protect you, I need you to protect her, because we are family, okay?" She looked wide eye to where they were and watched as Shizune battled Kabuto before looking back at me with determination and nodded before taking the other ribbon out of her hair, making it all fall down before gathering it all up again into a single ponytail and trying it back up with her ribbon. I couldn't help but laugh internally when I watched her run over to Tsuande-Obasan with the bag STILL in her hands.

'Does she know that at any moment would have been good for her to just drop the bag? Suteki asked as I turned away and began looking all over for a certain person.

'I guess because I told her before to hang onto them that she will, and even more so because that's the last one.'

'Okay, but why did you send her over to Miss. Scaredy-cat?'

'Because Obasan has all ways had a soft spot or kids and will no doubt protect her. Now like I said before. Shut. Up.' I growled at her as I scanned the area, looking for a certain person, which I ended up spotting on the top of the 2nd gaint snake's head, just like how Orochimaru and Ojisan were on the top of the 1st head.

"Found you." I said under my breath before I jumped and ran up the snake huge body, stopping only when I was a good ten-twenty feet away from Kotori. We just stood there starting at each other (one in anger and one in amusement) before I broke the silence. "Let me guess. You have never set foot in the sand village before, have you?" I asked him as I spied the sound emblem on his head protector.

"Never." He said. "But can you blame me? Who in their right mind would want to be in the same village as that Gaara kid? He's friking insane! Probably kills daily."

"So saying that you got separated from your teammates was a compete lie?" He nodded.

"Yup. The whole goal was actually to get close to do. Not that I imagined that it would work so well. All I had to do was wait for you to come running down the street and let you run into me to make you feel guilty enough to help me out and walk with me. Not that I didn't mind it. I got to see you in such an amazing dress. Not at all like the clothes you wearing the day before. Purple really isn't your colour." It took me a few second to process what he had just said.

"You were fucking stalking me?!" I yelled at him, coming close to snapping and killing him right there, but something, most likely Suteki, was telling me not yet.

"Yeah. I lied before when I said I fell for you before I hit the ground that day. I feel for you about maybe a week in advance. When I hit the ground and saw your face dusted with blush I just fell harder." He said, completely brushing me off. He looked at me and his smiled died and he placed a finger to his chin. "But something is bugging me. I know from when I was watching and fighting you that you have a strange tattoo that covers your back and one over your heart, but that one on your right arm you never had." I looked down at my right arm and remember that I hadn't covered it because before when I did and I was wearing my jacket it felt weird, like it was slowly burning at one point, and then slowly freezing, but it stopped when I got rid of the bandages and just wore my jacket to cover it, but I had given my jacket to Rin to comfort her, so it layed out in the open for the whole world to see.

I gave him a small shrug, playing like I wasn't still pissed off, which I fully was. He was fucking stalking me for a week!!!! "So what. Can’t a girl get a tattoo every now and again?"

"No." Kotori said, suddenly behind me with my arms pinned to my back with one hand and the other was painfully forcing me to look at him. "I was okay with the other two because not many could see them and I could tell that you never told anyone about them. But this anyone can see this one and i won't let you have anything that anyone can see but me. Expectably with some things as stupid as this" He all but growled at me as he held onto my arms tighter, cutting off the blood circulation. I glared at him and yanks my arms free from him and spun around, cutting him across the chest with the kunia I still held in one hand before jumping back away from him.

"You know nothing about these markings." I seethed at him as I watched his brown shirt underneath slowly turn red as he tried to stop it by applying pressure and ate a blood stopping pill, most likely something Kabuto had given him. I could tell that my cut was too shallow to even scar. "These marking on me are reminders of things I should have never forgotten. The one on my back remind me to never overestimate my abilities, the one over my heart remind me to never underestimate my opponent, no matter who it is, friend or foe. And my new one on my arm reminds me to never lose my head in a fight ever again. They are no way stupid you bastard!" I yelled at him before putting away my single kunia and doing some handsigns, the thing in her head, which she finally ruled as her conscious 'Never knew I had one....' had finally shut up.

"Water style: Destruction Torrent!" I yelled at him as I finished my handsigns and pointed my palm at him, letting a massive amount on water to appear, like a vortex that starts in my hand before forming a giant wall front, bashing into Kotori and knocking him off the snake into the swamp.

'Do I smell the faint scent of blood?' Suteki asked as I raced down the snake.

"Where have you been? Having a tea party? And it's Kotori's blood not mine... Who in the hell are you able to smell blood any ways?!" I asked her right before I landed on the swamp water, carefully activating Echoing Noise in case Kotori was underwater so I could hear him even if he was moving.

'I can't. I thought that the word 'smell' would be better than saying that I could sense it... Mmmm, blood. You should make more fall. Better yet! Let me have control so I can make it fall!!!!!' I could help but cover my face with my hand and shake my head with a sigh.

"Once a blood lusting, crazy, dead founder, all ways a blood lusting, crazy dead founder." I muttered as I shook my head. "You know, for a while there I thought that I might have cured your craziness, seeing as it was drastically different from when I first meet you Suteki."

'What are you talking about? I might not be as dead set on killing you taking over your body anymore because of our pact, but I'm still the way I've all ways been, I just don't have as much energy because the seal is going to be activated today.'

"Right, right. Don't get so defensive. I wasn't implying that I thought that you like me or anything. Now can we stop this idle chit-chat? It's starting to bother me that I can't hear him at all." I told her as I slowly walked away from the now dubbed 'Snake Swamp'. "I didn't see him fall all the way, so I don't know where he hit the ground and ran to. Also, because I can't get the slightest trace of chakra, I have no idea where the bastard might pop up."

"How about right behind you." Kotori said as he placed on of his tanto* against my neck, making me stop walking. "Now you have gotten me even more curious. Here you are talking and having a conversation, but there is no one here. Why might that be?" He whispered right in my ear, but because I had still yet to cancel Echoing noise, it sound all most like he had yelled it making me wince at the pain that ripped through my head while I cursed my naturally good hearing and my jutsu, but most of all, him.

Sensei note: Tanto* before when Harmony fought Kotori he used two twin short katana's, like what Sai uses, but had a tip instead of being flat. During those chapters I didn't even think that they might have a real term so that's what I used, but for this one I looked it up and found out that that is what they are called. I'm sorry that I didn't look it up before. Also, the word tanto actually has a line over the last 'o', but my computer is not amazing enough to have a key for that, so we'll just have to stick with no line...

"It's. None. Of. Your. Damn. Business." I shot back slowly as I tried to concentrate on ignoring the pain and the ringing in my head. I slowly brought my two hands up and formed a release handsign, cancelling my jutsu, restoring my hearing back to its slightly-better-than-normal state. After the pain had passes and the ringing had died down a little, I quickly grabbed his right arm and pulled his tanto after from my neck before I ducked and swung my legs around, trying to trip him. He quickly jumped to evade my attacked and ripped of his jacket, revealing his brown, bloodstained t-shirt and his other tanto which was still secured on his back. When he was still in the air I quickly did a few more handsigns.

"Wind Release: Balls of Wind!" I yelled before I took a deep breath and exhaled giant balls of wind at him. Because he was still falling he couldn't dodge, so many of them hit him, cutting more into his flesh.

'YEAH! More blood! More blood! Make it rain Harmony!!!!!!' Suteki yelled as a few droplets of blood fell onto my face. I scowled and wiped them off, not wanting his blood all over me. It was, in my mind, the filthiest thing in the world. 'And get covered in that crap? No thanks.'

“Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Missile!” I wasn’t sure at first if I was just hearing things, for my head was still ringing and blocking out all other noises, but a split second later I felt the air around me suddenly become hot and that was all the warning I needed before I raced behind a nearby boulder before the stop where I was just standing before was hit with a wave of white flames, the same white flames that had destroyed my flute. I growled in the back of my throat as I watched the white flames, which was probably melting the ground and absent mindedly rubbed my right arm as it slowly became warm.

“I need to stop his jutsu, or else I’m going to be burnt alive.” I said to myself as I felt the air around me become hot again. Kotori was most likely now aiming on the other side of the rock, trying to melt it and me at the same time.

“Water Style: Destruction Torrent!” I yelled out once again before I jumped out from behind my hiding spot and aimed my attack at him, water against flame. The moment the two made contact a giant bellow of hot steam appeared and cancelled out all vision, but I still held on because I couldn't tell if her was still using his fire jutsu against me. Because the stream was so hot it started to irritate my right arm which had started heating up again like it had been for the past few days. It was now past the point of warm and slowly turning hot.

"Damn! It's stings!!!!" I yelled as I ended my jutsu and grabbed my right arm, no longer able to handle the burning. There was still too much steam to see even a foot ahead of me, so once again I had no idea where he went.

'At least you can say that he cancelled his jutsu, seeing as you are standing in the open still and aren't burnt to a crisp.' Suteki pointed out.

"But I have no clue where the hell he is because of this damn fog.... DAMN IT!!! THAT WAS PROBABLY HIS PLAN!!!" I yield before I started to run, seeing if I could out run and escape the steam. I had only run for maybe two seconds before I ran head first into something extremly hard... Like a wall. "What in the hell?" I placed a hand on what I had run into it. Smooth, solid, rock. 'It is a wall!!' I slowly began moving and walking alongside the wall until I hit a corner, and then I followed that until I hit three more.

"I got a bad feeling about this..." I muttered after walking along all four walls. I took a deep breath before jumping straight up and quickly flipping over so my feet where in the air. When the made contact to something I applied some chakra to them so I would stay up-side-don as I crouch down (or would it be up?" as felt the same thing I had felt before. Before I thought that I couldn't see because of the steam, but now I realized I could see because I was in an air tight box where no light could get in.

'Got any bright ideas?' Suteki asked me as I jumped down from the ceiling and landed back on the ground in a crouched position.

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, this is Earth Release: Earth Style Wall Jutsu, unless the name got changed... Looks like I drew the short straw seeing as I don't have any lightening jutsus. All I have is wind and water, which aren't the greatest against earth..." I said with a sigh before forming a few handsigns again, making the air around me grow a little bit wild and a sort of musical hum could be heard whenever I moved, even the slightest, signaling my kekkia genkias activation.
