In response, the hawk conjured up a small but concentrated ball of air in his throat, releasing it and allowing it to expand at an alarming rate into a giant ball of shredding wind that absolutely devoured the flaming bullet, heading straight for Zuko. The giant ball consumed Zuko in a giant ball of shredding wind as Kashizudoto stopped in his tracks so as not to get caught in the sheer destruction himself, as the wind ball even tore through some earth, a little mud and blood splattering on Kashi's cheek. He flinched a bit as a drop of his opponent's blood rolled off his own cheek and down to the ground as if it were his own. This battle seemed so one-sided now, so different from the last time when Zuko and his Sharingan were demolishing Kashi. He could only think of his experience that fateful night in Lord Buma's manor. A drive.
Yet almost as soon as the ball had started tearing through Zuko, a stream of flames resembling a dragon poured out of his mouth and devoured the ball of wind. He was in no winning position, with bloody cuts all over him, yet he was still standing and still a huge threat. Little did Kashi know about the true extent of Zuko's Sharingan. The fiery dragon coiled around Zuko, as if to protect a master. Hawky and Kashi stayed suspended in their respective areas, ready to assume the defensive. Soon, the dragon sped towards Hawky, who quickly channeled chakra to his wings to block the attack. The head of the dragon rammed against Hawky's feathers, a struggle of willpowers.
"
Come on Hawky!" Kashi yelled from the background, causing Hawky to strengthen his own stance in the air. Pain registered on the bird's face as it was pushed back a few inches in the air; the dragon flame's power was unquestionable, and it seemed the will of the enemy controlling it was strong.
"
Be quiet!" Zuko yelled at Kashi with a reddened face obvious even in the moonlight, "
That's it! Amaterasu!" Kashi had heard the word before that fateful night. The black flames that he had seen earlier registered in his mind a split second before he saw a flicker of the real thing coming at him. It was too late; he felt a devilish burning sensation suddenly as the black flames caught on his torso.
"
AAHHHHHHHHHH!!!" he screamed as he watched the black flames unrelentingly burn him, slowly. He stopped, dropped, and rolled, just as they'd told him to do in the ninja academy. He did it just as the procedure told; all he had to do was deprive the flames of the air which they thrived off of, or so he thought. Zuko watched sharply and knowingly as Kashi's efforts resulted in nothing. By this time, Zuko had given up in his struggle with Hawky, dispelling the dragon, so the hawk landed next to his owner, panicking similarly.
He continued panicking, rolling around and screaming like a maniac, flailing around as he realized he could do nothing to stop the flames. His hawk meanwhile began flying around in circles, screeching in horror at the sight of his master burning in black. Yet in a split second he stopped and sharpened his gaze onto a little pebble. He took a deep breath in and out, realizing that he had enough time to find a source of water in the village. The hawk, seeing his master getting calmer, also took on a sense of more tranquility. Meanwhile, Zuko was nowhere to be seen.
A well in the distance. Perfect. He pointed in the direction of the well and then ran over to it, jumping straight in. Yet, even through the water, the black flames burned, the black flames burned. As blood stained the pool of water red, he climbed out and touched his knees to the ground. He could think no more.
"
Hawky," he spoke, each breath getting slower and slower, "
I have a last message. Please bring it to Buma. I don't think I'll make it that far." The hawk screeched at this notion, not willing to give up on his master's life, thus beginning to fly in circles again as if it would magically solve the crisis at hand.
"
Just land so I can write this last message please..." he muttered as he held out his hand. Yet suddenly he felt a shadow descend upon him and his hawk, as he spotted Zuko standing upon a tall rooftop. Their eyes met for the second time ever as Kashi felt and saw the terrifying black flames disperse. As Zuko flickered off into the distance, Kashi could tell that this was his doing. All he could do was fall at his feet, terrified of the sheer power he had just felt and witnessed, though he was glad that all he got was some burns and not any permanent damage. Why someone like Zuko had saved his opponent from certain death was beyond Kashi's comprehension, but he determined to find out why.
