#anamaru

Anamaru was already in a bad mood. She didn’t get to finish her lunch because she was like “SHIT KIBA’S LEAVING?? BETTER TAKE CARE OF THE FUCKER” and then interrupted a SECOND time because Donan’s ass ran the fuck away with Sasuke. Anamaru still couldn’t wrap her head around Donan’s decision. Anamaru had warned her SO MANY TIMES that Sasuke was bad news. Did Donan listen? No.

           Now Anamaru was stuck fighting these two conjoined twins, Sakon and Ukon. She was doing it for Donan’s safety and well being, so it had to be done, but Donan sacrificing her future for a boy was just something Anamaru couldn’t accept.  Samsuke and Rachoji already were caught up in fights closer to the village, and Temegu and Alruto had split up for battles of their own. She shouldn’t complain, they were all in shitty situations right now. But good lord, Anamaru needed a nap. Whatever. First thing’s first, take down these assholes.

           Sakon and Ukon had been insulting Anamaru, but she was in no mood to listen. Instead, she started one of her trademark Rants.

           “Alright, I get it, I understand you were manipulated and tortured by a weird man into submission, and that you were born into this situation and that the flawed government you lived under couldn’t protect you. I get that you have no reason to escape because this submissive life under an abusive ruler is all you know. I have so much privilege, being raised by a relatively stable family, in a solid village without any weird dictator. But I’m not going to go easy on you. Not when my friend is at stake.”

           Anamaru was ready to fight two on one. She knew it wouldn’t be impossible for her, she was a skilled ninja, and all these fuckers had going for them was their weird conjoined twin thing. Anamaru pulled out her spiked brass knuckles and lunged to attack. They were still one target as long as they only had one body. Right hand swing, left uppercut- but none of her attacks connected. Sakon grabbed her wrists with her free hands, and Anamaru couldn’t break free until after Ukon’s arms had morphed out of Sakon’s chest and gave her a couple punches.

She shook her way out of their grasps, and honestly, the punches weren’t even that bad. But, she figured as long as they had more hands than she did, she might want to take a long-distance approach. She dug her fingers into the ground and hollered “Earth style: Earth Cage!”

The ground erupted around Sakon and Ukon’s feet, trapping them in rock from their necks down. Anamaru approached them, and she swung her fist straight at one of them.

Her wrist was stopped by a fist, and she watched as Ukon stepped out of the back of Sakon’s head and sent a punch flying her way, which she blocked, but in the commotion Sakon was freed from the cage as well. Their curse marks were spreading across their faces, and Anamaru groaned.

“MULTIPLE LEGS BARRAGE!!”

The conjoined twins swung their legs at Anamaru, and she wasn’t able to block in time before tumbling backwards into a boulder or some shit. She wasn’t going down that easy though. Sakon and Ukon ran towards her, but before they could get close enough she yelled out “Earth Style: Stone Wall!” And the fuckers ran face first into this wall that shot out of the ground. Before she herself went over to check on the twins, she summoned her messenger dragon who went for her.

The dragon, small enough to remain unnoticed, simply placed an explosive on Sakon and Ukon’s back. All Anamaru had to do was get the FUCK out of the way, which was easy when her opponents had hit their heads on a wall.

She called her dragon back and started to run in the opposite direction, but something caught her heel and tripped her. She turned to see Ukon, still attached to Sakon, fully red and like growing horns and shit. Only one of them had a gash on their head, and Anamaru figured the one who hadn’t been hit was the one in control.

She glanced at their back. The paper bomb was still there, and it was burning away, quickly.

Anamaru slashed at her opponents with a kunai, stabbing one hand until it was unusable, and then being caught with another hand- and then another-

Time was running out.

 Suddenly, Anamaru heard a man hollering, and felt herself being swept off her feet. It was Ben-Sensei, Donan’s teacher. He had run in and grabbed her before the bomb went off.

“Your Donan’s friend, right?? You think she’ll appreciate me more for this?”

 Anamaru looked back, worried Sakon and Ukon might catch up- and goddamn were they trying. With four fucked up hands dangling at their sides, they were running towards them- and fast.

“Ben, speed the fuck up-!” Anamaru couldn’t finish her sentence before a beam of light fucking pulverized the set of twins, and triggered the explosion, which Ben somehow managed to outrun.

A white-haired boy, who Anamaru recognized as the guy that always hangs out at Makura’s apartment, greeted them. He gave a peace sign.

“Saved you!~” He winked.

“BARELY” Anamaru hollered.

“Aw geez,” Ben-sensei looked into the distance, “I hope Donan is okay.”

“I hope Bob the Builder is still on when I get home,” Kaworu added.
