Kamui Misfires! Turn Back the Clock

Taiga was panting; he was almost out of chakra and was down to his last kunai. He looked as Misaki, who was leaning with her back against the tree just across from his. The two nodded as they both ran out from behind the tree, Misaki first so that she could be the distraction. “Go now, Taiga!” she yelled as she attempted to surround the man with Crystal Needles. “Do you honestly think that that is going to work!” the man boomed as he broke free of the crystal, sending Misaki flying backwards. “Misaki!” Taiga yelled out but he was grabbed before he could react and come to her aide.

“Looks like the great Uchiha weren't so great after all.” he squeezed Taiga as he let out a small spurt of blood. Goodbye brat.” the man attempted to squeeze harder but was instead pushed back by Susanoo's right arm. “You take me too...LIGHTLY!” Taiga let out a roar as the man was consumed within Katsumi, sealing him forever within itself.

“Misaki, are you okay?” Taiga asked her nervously as he began examining her for wounds. “Yeah I'm fine.” she said as she began to heal her wounds with the Body Revival Technique. "How about you?" she asked him, noticing the blood coming from his mouth, causing her to gasp. "Your...your mouth!" Taiga motioned with to her with his hand. "Don't worry about it. It's nothing." he sat by the tree where the man was just sucked in as began eating a blend of Blood Increasing Pills and Military Rations Pills. "Too bad about that guys bounty. Looks like no one will get it no...." Taiga was stopped short as a portal opened behind him that bore a striking resemblance to his Katsumi.

It began to suck him in as Misaki jumped up to try and help. "Taiga! I'm coming, hold on!" She tried to grab him with crystal, but the technique was sealed and she could not use her crystal style, further cementing that this was indeed Katsumi. But how? When? Taiga tried to think desperately of a way to free himself, but could not. Taiga was sucked into the void and, as it closed, he could see Misaki cry.

Taiga awoke in a field, a meadow, but he did not know where he was. He rubbed his head as he began to look around. "What happened?" he asked himself as he remembered being sucked into Katsumi. "What the...! When is this? Where is this?!" he leaped to his feet to find a someone nearby.
