To Become a Shinobi Ch. 20
By Eliad Sholomovich

Vega was about to break into the house when he remembered a very important detail. "Blast I forgot about those d*mned twins, I can't back down now , I will not fail. If only I could get rid of them... I know" He thought.

He reached for his bag and opened a side pocket, he took out a strange little hand sized computer and his cell phone. He connected them with a black wire, Then he entered the Dojo's adress into a small keyboard on the hand sized computer.

He waited for a few seconds and the Dojo's phone number appeared on the screen, He punched the numbers on his cell phone. "I'm such a genious" Vega thought and grinned to himself.

Meanwhile back at the dojo the twins and Ibuki were eating breakfast when the phone rang. Yun went to answer it.

"Hello, Yeah We live here, Who is this? HK postal service? Ok What can I do for you? Yeah... Ok... I see... We'll be there soon" Yun said and hung the phone.

Yun returned to the kitchen and said "Yo Yang we gotta go get a package from the post office, They said it was for both of us from Fei-long."

Yang nodded "Ok, You don't mind right Ibuki? We'll be back in about two hours Ok?" Yang said.

Ibuki nodded "OK I'll be here, Don't worry I'll just rest for a while. Ibuki said and stood up.

Yang left his seat "Oh and you can watch TV in the living room If you're bored. See ya soon Ibuki" Yang said and Yun waved and then both of them left.

Ibuki left the kitchen and went to the living room. She turned on the TV and watched the news.

"This is a special bulliton from HK news, We have just recieved word that the infamous Vega has escaped his prison and is believed to be somewhere in China. If you see him beware, He is an armed and dangerous assasian" The reporter said.

Ibuki looked at his photo "You know he looks familiar, I could swear I've seen him before Ibuki thought and leaned backwards.

Then She leapt to her feet as she heard the door open violently. She went wide eyed and saw the man from Tv ."What the... Oh my god Vega!" She said in surprise as the assasian stood in the doorway his mask and claw shining.

"At you service Little ninja, Are you ready for some fun?" He said before lunging forward claw first and swiping at her chest.

Ibuki jumped high and Vega crashed to the floor and knocked the Tv over. Ibuki landed behind the couch. "I knew someone was following me, But why Vega? What have I done to him?" Ibuki thought, Before she saw Vega lunge forward again.

Ibuki swatted a punch and ducked under another swipe of his claw, He then managed to kick her chest, then he flipped backwards nailing her chin with his feet. Ibuki was forced off the ground and landed on her back.

Vega leapt again and thrusted his claw downwards towards her chest, Ibuki went wide eyed and rolled aside dodging the thrust. Vega released his claw from the wooden floor and leapt again, he somersaulted forward while aiming a jump kick at Ibuki痴 face.

Ibuki ducked and Vega landed behind her, Before the Assasian could even turn around he was kicked in the spine with great force, Then Ibuki stabbed the back of his head with two powerful kicks that made the Spainish Assasian lose his balance.

He fell forward and gracefully rolled on the ground. He stood straight and turned around to her his blue eyes narrowed in anger. Ibuki was a little taken aback by the anger and bloodlust in his eyes.

He approached her and kicked at her once more, Ibuki parried the kick and turned to block his fist but then gasped as he faked. Ibuki focused and managed to use the momentum to turn sideways, Thus saving herself from death.

Vega's claw cleaved her ribcage deeply and crimson blood now stained her white shirt.

Vega rolled forward and kicked her at feet, Ibuki fell to the ground with a thud and Vega loomed over her. Ibuki gulped "He痴 faster than Guy, God where are my Kunai when I need them" She thought and in sheer luck managed to roll aside and yet agaub save herself from being impaled.

Vega growled in frustration and swiped his claw wildly at her head, Ibuki swatted the swipe and hit him with a punch to the face, She then palm striked his chest, Kicked his abdomen and finished the move by stepping forward and slamming his chest with a Raida.

Vega was hurled backwards, He groaned in pain as he crashed into a wooden table with many chinese statues in it, He shook his head and gazed daggers at Ibuki, wooden shards and stone chips cut his back causing it to be stained in crimson.

Ibuki was panting, She felt burning pain in her ribs and even a simple task like breathing cost her by more pain, Vega got up and leapt backwards he planted his feet on the wall and catapulted himself forward,Ibuki did a split and avoided his deadly swipe that would have slit her throat.

Vega stopped his momentum and landed on his feet. "D*mn you, Stand still pest!" Vega thought and approached her carefully.

Ibuki decided it was time to change her approach in the fight from defense to offense. She lunged forward and kicked Vega's face, Then she double palm striked his abdomen, Vega felt the wind escape his lungs and coughed loudly, then Ibuki channeled her Chi.

Vega sensed this, Ibuki grabbed his hand and pulled back her fist, Vega leapt backwards while escaping her grasp and backflipped twice after seeing the force of the upcoming move in action he decided it would be wise to avoid it.

Nevertheless Ibuki thrusted her blue-Chi covered fist forward while shouting "YOROI DOUSHI!!!". Vega laughed and approached, he was convinced that she had wasted her Chi and was now vulnerable.

It was Ibuki's turn to smile as the Chi's color changed to red and launched forward in the shape a huge red projectile. Vega only had time to go wide eyed as it connected with his upper body.

Ibuki groaned in pain and leaned on a wall, The loss of blood had weakened her, and she still hadn't recovered from her two previous fights either.

Vega was flung backwards and crashed forcefully into the wall. He slumpted to the ground while screaming in pain, He tore off his mask cutting his face in the process and held his bleeding and burned face in his hands. Ibuki could see the mask releasing smoke.

"I guess My Chi heated his metal mask a bit" Ibuki thought and entered her stance despite the pain she was in. Vega was on his knees screaming in pain. Then he took his hands away and looked at Ibuki in a mad and wild gaze, His teeth were clenched and he was breathing very quickly, His eyes shone with such fury Ibuki felt uncomfortable to look into them.

His beautiful face was beyond repair. It was burned on the sides and around the eyes, Blood dripped down his cheeks and forehead from cuts that appeared after he tore his mask away.

He shouted "You've destroyed my face you stupid little B*tch! I'm gonna cut you to threads and send you to your mother in 10 seprate letters." He shouted and leapt forward.

Vega kicked at her wildly, Ibuki dodged by jumping backwards, Vega laughed madly and leapt as well, As he intercepted Ibuki he slashed her stomach in a wide arc, The claw sank deep ripping the soft flesh and tearing the fabric of her shirt.

Ibuki landed on her feet and could sense her feet shake in weakness, Vega swept her feet and she fell to the ground to weak to stand.

He loomed over her, and started kicking her forcefully while shouting "You aren't tough now are you You B*tch?" He shouted, Ibuki groaned as kick after kick slammed into her bleeding and tortured ribcage. After about 5 kicks he kicked her face and she lay sprawled on her back.

She coughed and spat a surge of blood, Her nose was broken and she could hardly breath,Her vision was very hazy and her head was pounding, Pain exploded in her ribcage and her body was too weak to comply. Blood was now staining the wooden floor. She fought to remain concious, She had to find a way to save herself

"I can't afford to die, Mom, Sarai, Sensai still need me, I must escape somehow, I just gotta" Ibuki thought.

Vega panted over her and raised his claw again "Time to die little ninja" He said and spat on Ibuki's face.
