**CRASH**
The giant serpent slammed into the Nexus floor, erupting a cloud of white debris so great the snake’s form became hidden within it. The serpent, in its rage, had intended to take a mouthful of Mami and got the Nexus floor instead. This caused the snake both pain and panic as it became ensnared by the very floor itself. It thrashed about this way and that in an attempt to free itself, causing quite a ruckus.
Mami, who had avoided collision with a nimble display of acrobatics, landed on the balls of her feet in a crouched position next to Sasuke. "Aren't you in high demand?" Mami joked with a friendly smile. "If you're up for it, I think we should handle this as a team,"
Sasuke looked down upon her hand which had been intertwined with his from when they avoided the snake together. The image of Naruto and Sakura flashing before his eyes as he accessed the blonde female again, “No. Our opponent is too strong, you stay here and let me take care of th---“
"I'll distract it as best as I can.” She interrupted as though she hadn’t heard him at all, “You try to find a weak point and exploit it the best way you can. I don't know exactly how you fight, but hopefully you can figure out a way to--"
Mami glanced over her shoulder and noticed the serpent was on the move again. She stood, pulling Sasuke to his feet as she was still holding his hand. She looked down to their hands and immediately pulled her hand away muttering a soft "Sorry" in the process just before she took off for the snake.
“Wait, no! The snake isn’t even the problem!” his words fell on deaf ears as she had already sprinted out to meet the snake in combat.
Damn… he thought as he observed the battle unfolding before them. Kicking up dirt, (Or the equivalent to whatever the white stuff was that kicked up from his feet as he sprinted) he accessed his Sharingan and laid eyes on the snake.
There! He realized.
Even in the midst of battle, Orochimarua had the gaul to mock you. That of a true predator, he would play with his food, as he was doing with Mami now. He was standing atop the serpents head, directly in harm’s way as though to mock her.
“That ego of yours will cost you!” Sasuke smirked as he was already upon him. He had scaled the vicious beast and done so without notifying his opponent of his presence. The young Uchiha crouched down and planted his arm down to the ground as he began to focus and charge all of his chakra into his right hand. He grinned.
This technique he had learned with Kakashi was devastating and would certainly take care of this pest, however, it would take time to acquire enough chakra for a foe such as Orochimaru. Time he wouldn’t be allowed…
"Sasuke," Orochimaru chimed with a devilish smile. "It's been too long."
“Humph. Not long enough, if you ask me.” He remarked coolly as he stood, abandoning the ambush and placed his hands within his pockets. Expressing a confident grin on his face before continuing in a mock tone, “If you’re here for an autograph, you’ll have to wait in line like all the other girls.”
His aloof demeanor, however, did not go unnoticed by the former, snake-like villain of the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Sasuke felt an immense pain jolt throughout his entire body as the cursed mark upon his neck began to sear. Rebellious, the Uchiha remained expressionless in spite of this. He refused to allow Orochimaru the satisfaction. He glared meeting the snake eyes of his opponent head on, now for the second time. Orochimaru, with his serpent like tongue slithering about his lips, addressed the Uchiha, “What’s thisssss?”
His blood thirst and murderous intent so intense that you could literally feel it. It enveloped and consumed you. The air was filled with it and it gave a sort of, euphoric ‘washing over you’ feeling; one of sorrow and despair. The hissing sound of his voice sent chills down the youth’s spine, but he shrugged it off, he had experienced this before and like before he had already resolved to go through Orochimaru in order to kill Itachi. Things would be different this time, this time he was ready.
“So, you think you different? Is that it? You’re not. All of them come to me when the time comessss” Orochimaru hissed.
“Humph! I am different. There is no one alive like me, for I am the last of the Uchiha Clan. I am the last avenger, now die here and now OROICHIMARU!!!!” Sasuke screamed as he unleashed all the furry he could in a vicious assault on the snake demon of Village Hidden in the Leaves!
Mami, still firing and reloading (So to speak) in rapid succession had wonderfully corrected the accuracy design flaws of her weapon of choice. Every bullet seemed to be hitting its mark... over and over again without fail. So, much in fact that she had begun to inflict real damage on the snake. The serpent became enraged and struck out at her, careless of the shinobi atop its head.
Sasuke, with the help of chakra, kept his footing, however he feared most for Mami as she seemed NOT to be retreating or even trying to dodge the strike. The snake within mere inches of one of her rifle’s barrels, took on a point blank shot, causing an eruption of blood and hissing sounds before incapacitating the beast. The serpent’s body, however, still posed a serious threat for the young Magician as it was still hurling straight for her through its already obtained momentum.
**CRASH**
Mami fell backwards landing as an explosion from a collision rang throughout the Nexus. She opened her eyes as the debris settled to find the young boy standing in front of her with his arm extended outward in the form of an uppercut.
The snake was spiraling upwards into the clear white sky of the Nexus, instead of plummeting onto Mami’s small frame. The serpent however, would be returning to crush them under its weight. In an instant Sasuke was by Mami’s side and in another instant they had traveled the space necessary to avoid being crushed by the falling serpent.
“Seems as though you are pretty popular yourself.” The Uchiha flashed a grin as he extended his hand.
Mami, unlike Sasuke, took the aid and stood, “Yea, well… It’s a good thing you killed that thing when you did.”
“The beast was already lifeless when I hit it. It’s not my kill, it’s yours.” He stated matter-of-factly.
Mami stared for a moment taking in Sasuke’s appearance from her angle on the floor, the white horizon illuminating his youthful and attractive features. He had surprised her as, up until now, she had been doing all of the saving. She couldn't help but ponder the possibilities this new acquaintance might bring.
He turned to say something else to the girl, but as he did his jaw collided with an oncoming fist. Once, twice, three times his face felt the impact of knuckles smashing and scraping across his face. Stumbling backwards, he raised his right hand in time to catch the next blow and the next after that with his left. He clenched his opponent’s hands in his own and swung his elbow upward. He made contact with the right arm of his opponent right where the joint is causing the elbow to move in a motion it could not. Sasuke Grinned as he heard the sound.
**SNAP**
Quite; Neither one of them made a sound as they stared into each other’s eyes with ill intent. He had just broken his arm, he knew it, but the devil didn’t make a sound. Instead his serpent-like tongue slithered out and licked the side of Sasuke’s face. Sasuke grimaced.
Orochimaru grinned, broke the space and the grip between them, and lunged forward, slamming his knee into the Uchiha’s abdomen. Grasping for air the young ninja began to fall to his knees, however, before he felt the ground his opponent had bombarded him with more strikes, literally elevating him back to his feet with blows. Sasuke’s body began to grow limp as he was taking too much damage and the situation grew grim. He wouldn’t last much longer like this.
Mami had seen enough, she lunged towards the ninja with a great haste Sasuke hadn’t seen her possess. She was fast, perhaps not Sasuke fast, but fast enough to earn his respect, all the same. In an instant she had appeared directly between the two combatants, took Orochimaru in her sights at point blank range, and fired her two rifles in unison.
