Wish: Part 2
Chapter 1
Day 1-4 Of The War
War was on the horizon and it was something Gaara didn't want. He had to evacuate the city into a underground passage that led to a make-shift village that was residing in the woods under heavy guard, and illusion so it wouldn't be seen. It was a mess with everything he was going through, for the village and the huge war between Sand and Sound.
It was just as Alix foretold only 3 months ago. She had said that she would have to participate in the war that was going to happen, only to help those around her whether she liked it or not. She promised she'd be there during the war, and when he had asked if she would help when it started off, she shook her head, laughed and walked away. Not even giving a glance back at him.
He sighed, irritation moving from his mind and turning into stiffness in his shoulders. Leaning back in his chair, he abruptly stood up and sand swirled around him and he was gone from the room. Appearing only where a large group of Shinobi's stood, along with his brother and sister, MaiAki happened to stand there in her Shinobi gear, while Kankuro kept trying to persuade her to leave and watch the kids, apparently it wasn't working.
All Shinobi standing there, could feel Gaara's aura and they turned around, giving a quick bow and going over the plan with Temari once again.
"…They've set up camp just to the east, about 50 miles away. We have a spotter there, and were keeping in touch ever hour."
"Good, I want more people moving around sand. I don't want this looking suspicious so go on like it was an everyday routine."
The Jounin's nodded and vanished, the Genin were stuck with the Chunnin and they moved on to another part of Suna, getting their supplies ready, leaving the family and the soon to be sister-in-law.
"please, MaiAki! I don't want you to get hurt, they kids need a parent if something were to happen."
"I'm not leaving. I'm going and that's final. Not even him could stop me!" MaiAki's finger directed itself towards Gaara, indicating that it was him she was talking about.
Kankuro sighed, defeated. There was no way he could convince her not to go. He knew if she went, then he's have more problems fighting and he'd keep thinking about her, and if she was okay. No, it wasn't good, not for him.
Temari smiled lightly, patting MaiAki on the shoulder, giving a thumbs up before saying something about checking on the Jounin's and will be back later. A gust of wind, she was gone. It was silent to say the least. You wondered if this was actually a village with people apparently being shown.
It was good to have Genjutsu users on hand to create such illusions for Sound to be fooled because they were complete idiots. Hell, Gaara didn't even know if Orochimaru was still alive because of Sasuke, someone must have taken over -- but no one had a clue as too who.
"Hiya pals!" 6 eyes shifted towards the newly acquired voices by them, sand swirling around them in a threatening movement.
"Hold up! No need, were not with sound, were here to assist you… leave the sand alone.. She'll get pissed and I'll feel the wrath.. It's not fun.."
They seemed extremely suspicious. They sighed softly.
"Okay, I'm Kairu, this is Shiuhshia, were from Azure."
"Azure? Then why haven't I seen you before?"
"MaiAki-chaaan! Why don't you remember me!?" Kairu just dived at her feet, grabbing onto her ankles and practically crying.
"Oh, now I do.. And uhm.. Shia.. Looks as if she's going to kill you.. Are you two finally together?!" That seemed to catch her interest, even though a war was about to break out.
Kairu stood up, and slowly backed up to Shia, not wanting to look at her. The anger she was giving off was so much it wanted to eat him..
"Kazekage-sama! It has started!"
-------------------------------------------
3 months she had been gone from Sand once again, looking for something Omen had lost at her old home back in the water country, and Alix soon found out that she hated water. There was way to much of it around. It was like sand, except it didn't try to kill you if it got in your shoes. She sighed softly, coming to a stop at a pedestal in the middle of a cavern, light seemed to float in from a certain place due to a rock not being in a particular hole on the roof.
'There it is.. My pendant. Aw, my love gave it to me when I was so young…'
"What does this pendant do, really, you never told me."
'It boosts my chakra and your power more than it already is. it's the pendant to your sword. Why do you think it so damn dull? It was missing its piece, it's solitude and partner.'
"Wait… You mean that.. This was your sword? that's why it chose me when I bought it?"
"Ah, yes. Then again, had I not been here, it wouldn't have chosen you, though you're a good candidate for it to be used from. You hold enough chakra to take out a village; your just not used to it yet. You need to die first in order to obtain your hidden powers."
"Die!?" Alix paused, stopping as her hand was slowly reaching towards the pendant, fingers extended like she was greedy for the necklace -- like it was pulling at her soul. It wanted her, or the sword, and her body was just reacting.
"Yes, die. For people in your bloodline you need to die and be brought back. Your parents were killed because of your bloodline -- your adoptive family did it."
That caught Alix's attention span of a deer and her eyes widened, body shaking at what Omen was saying. There was no way she could have lived with her family's murders for 10 years of her life! No way! Her knees buckled, but she didn't fall. She wasn't allowing herself to do so. Taking in a deep breath, she exhaled slowly. What they did to her life, they would pay in full force, this wasn't even revenge - it was going to be murder.
But the thing was, that she didn't know if people got out of Azure before it was burned and attacked by sound, but obviously someone had to have connections with sound for it to fall as it did. Someone betrayed their village and killed everyone. Oh yes, they were going to pay..
'Alix, calm down, the pendant reacts to your emotions.'
"How can I be calm? People will be murdered."
'Yes, yes, after you put on the pendant, we shall leave to go to Sand - the war has started."
Alix nodded, letting her hand move and grasp the pendant, first receiving the shock of her life as it coursed through her arm, into her body before spreading every where's, causing even omen to cringe at the amount of static running through her body right now. Breathing deeply, she collapsed onto her knees, staring blankly at the ground.
Omen was trying to talk to her, but she wasn't responding. Random parts of her body were twitching and then she collapsed onto her side.
---------------------------------------
Blood spurted everywhere as Gaara closed his fist. A pool of blood forming under the Sound ninja's as he smushed them into heaps of bodies. Turning, he was struck with a kunai, but it didn't stop him, he just pulled it out with little to no effort, and again, he picked up sound's ninja's and smushed them. There was just no end to it, and apparently they kept coming like swarms of flies to poop. It was annoying as hell to say the least.
It had been successful for him to fight along with his Shinobi for the past 2 days, but his chakra and chakra pills were running out fast, and he wasn't leaving the field until someone killed him. He was going to fight to save his country, no matter what the cost was.
-Day 4-
He was loosing the battle, and fast, Temari was knocking them down every time the clustered in - Kankuro had been pulled out of the fight, along with MaiAki due to a wound she had suffered. 3 quarters of his men had been killed, but more reinforcements were coming.
His breathing was starting to labor, all the wounds he was suffering from were now starting to take a toll - his usual cold eyes were starting to dull and not be as vicious as it was supposed to be, hell, he couldn't even do it famous death glare anymore. He was loosing it.
The two new Shinobi's claiming to be from Azure had done one hell of a job clearing out Sound, but they two were suffering, movements becoming slower and slower, and more wounds showed up on them both.
Dodging a kick to the abdomen, he swung around with a kunai in his hand and nailing the ninja dead in the neck, blade going right through before being pulled out, droplets of blood splattering on him. It seemed now that some of them were pulling back, as well as Sand. At the position he was in, it was like a school fight, where one gang was on one side, and the other gang was opposite of him, a huge gap in between them. Every single person was covered in blood, every single person was breathing hard. Everyone held some type of fear in their eyes. No one was making a move.
A shadow crossed over his face, and everyone's instinct was to look up and see what it was; it happened to be a body of a sort, before landing harshly on the sand, dust and whatnot spinning around the body. Something shining in his eye, turned him to look at it. It was obviously a sword, slowly being raised to chest-area before swinging harshly and like a fire was created, it shot out of the sword, hit the sand and seemed to fuse with it. Like they said, fire mixed with sand at a hot enough temperature would turn to glass - but the thing was, this flame was hot, hot like the sun, but the sand didn't turn to glass. Physic's and science couldn't figure this out, but hell it would be awesome to see. The flames grew into a long line and advanced forwards like an avalanche, catching all the people in the first line-up. Screaming was heard and the smell of burning bodies was lifting through the air.
The figure looked back, glaring at Gaara, and it hit him like a ton of bricks. His eyes widened.
"Alix…?"
"I told you I'd have to participate one way or another.. Didn't I?"
