To Become a Shinobi Ch. 21
By Eliad Sholomovich

Vega stood a maniacal smile on his face, He raised his gleaming crimson stained claw, And growled as he swung it.

Ibuki mustered all her strength and determination and rolled aside. Vega gazed daggers at her "Will you just stay put and die!" He shouted in frustration and lunged at Ibuki.

Ibuki clenched her teeth and found a stone statue near her. "It ain't a Kunai but it'll do for now" Ibuki thought and then threw the stone statue towards Vega's midsection.

Vega in his momentum recieved the blow forcefully and fell to the ground.He coughed and shook his head, Drops of blood fell on the floor as he stood up. Ibuki spotted the guestroom in the corner of her eye. "Must reach my bag, It's my only hope" She thought and started crawling slowly towards the room.

Vega noticed her and snarled "You aren't going anywhere but h*ll,little girl!" He shouted and leapt high landing before Ibuki blocking her path. His blue eyes shone with madness and he smiled wickedly.

Ibuki climbed to her knees, She was panting. The loss of blood had weakened her greatly. Vega kicked her chest and she fell to her back again.

He stood over her "Now this finally ends you pest" He shouted. Ibuki inhaled sharply and gathered her strength and swung her foot upwards Before Vega could swing his claw. Vega eyes went wide and then he coughed.

Ibuki's foot had slammed forcefully into his groin. He fell to the ground bent over, Unable to move. He tried to stand but the pain stopped him. "You'll pay for that you little B*tch" Vega thought to himself.

Ibuki reached the guestroom and held her bag, She tiredly searched through the pockets of the bag "C'mon ,Where are you when I need you?" Ibuki thought. She was leanening on the bed , her blood now stained the sheets.

Vega rose to his feet and wiped the blood from his face. The pain was horrible but he ignored it, He would get that girl even if it killed him. It wasn't about the job anymore this was personel.

He entered the guestroom and saw Ibuki searching her bag frantically. He leapt silently hoping to surprise her, But Ibuki sensed him and rolled aside. He kicked her bag away "Those little daggers won't help you this time b*tch" He shouted.

Ibuki had reached one of her Kunai but stuck it in her jacket's pocket saving it for later.Vega had cornered her and was about to strike. Then footsteps could be heard from the doorway. Vega cursed he was cornered in this room too.

He grabbed her by the hair and picked her up. Then he entered the main hallway. Meanwhile Yun and Yang had just returned to see the Dojo in ruins. "What the h*ll happened here?" Yang asked.

"Where's Ibuki?" Yun asked and Yang looked at him worriedly and shrugged.Then Vega appeared in the doorway "Let me through or the girl gets it" He said. Yun and Yang saw the wounded assasian and Future Shinobi and stepped aside obeying the order.

Ibuki gave them a strange look and then in a burst of speed she took her Kunai out and slashed the cords that connected Vega's claw, then she pushed his arm sideways. Vega cried in surprise as his claw fell off. Ibuki managed to free herself due to his surprise.

Vega looked at the twins and then around him. Yun and Yang dashed forward. Vega jumped over them, "Have to escape!!!" Vega thought to himself frantically and ran towards the doorway.

Then he went wide eyed "S***, Its that Interpol detective" Vega thought as he saw Chunli being escorted by Gen. Then she noticed him and dashed forward yelling "Stop! Vega your under arrest" She shouted and Vega looked even more frantic.

He was cornered, He looked for a window it was his last hope. He spotted on near Ibuki. He gave a determined look and dashed forward. Yun and Yang kicked at him in the chest. He absorbed the kicks, He choked down his pain and pushed them aside.

Chunli had entered the house and dashed after him. Them Vega passed by Ibuki and stumbled. She had tripped him with her foot and he crashed to the floor face first. Chunli leapt and stood on his back she grabbed his hair “Finally I caught you Vega, Back to the slammer for you monster" She spat and cuffed him.

Vega looked at Ibuki and muttered something in Spanish. Ibuki was blinking rapidly. Yun and Yang looked at her worriedly when she fainted. Gen then noticed her. He burst into action "Yun call an ambulance, Yang bring me bandages and wet towels, Now!" He shouted.

The twins nodded and ran to their errands. Chunli meanwhile looked at Ibuki and raised a brow "This kid actually beat Vega, This is unbelievable, She can't be older than 17" She thought.

Yang brought the towels and bandages a minute later. Gen took them and started cleaning Ibuki's wounds. Gen had a worried look on his face as he worked.

Yun and Yang's faces were full og guilt and sorrow. Chunli was very curious, She had no idea who this girl is and what happened but she knew this wasn't the time for questions.

Fifteen minutes later an Ambulance arrived and took Ibuki towards HK general hospital.
