Standing aimlessly in a shopping mall, a woman stands leaning against a metal bar. Staring down onto the shoppers, some glancing towards her calf length silver hair and clump of gravity defying brunette hair; tied into a pony tail. Any one close enough could see the more peculiar silver dog ears, and silver bangs covering her cheeks. An oaken emo fringe covering her right eye, she does not give any on going stares part of her time however; at this moment in time she was staring broadly over the balcony.
Her perpetual, icy hazel orbs trail a wooden pull-you-up moving, someone on the inside jumping up and down like a lunatic. Showing acknowledgement from her spaced stare, long creamy finger's push away a single strand, back over her eye to become lost in the forest of dark chocolate.
Turning her gaze away when a group in black and red come stomping past, the ears struck back so they cannot be seen. The woman had learned not to show any strange groups like that, any kind of difference; in-case they thought of it as a power.
A soft - barely notable - smile is shown as she turns to watch a large turtle coming towards her, the group give it an odd stare but nothing more before trudging forwards. This strange beast stares with a dead - but so life like - eyes before snapping it's jaw at her, the young woman getting onto it's shell with crossed legs as they began to move to the outside.
The weather under the Suna sun was smouldering as she puts an umbrella up, slotting it into a hole in her mount's shell; nothing better than a hands free. Stopping on the large cleft outside of the city wall's to stand on watch, far from everyone else stupidly. Lazing about on the cold shell in an open black ninja tutor's coat, with pockets and a thick neckband.
A white shirt with elbow length sleeves, a v-cut and wrapped across to the other side. Clad in no trousers but a long fin shaped sash across her left leg, it is sliced just in the right place, to cover her appropriately. How she was not burned from the sun was uncanny and the more you looked at it the more you came to believe, that it may just have been a dress at one point.
A dress that had been sliced in half, a white band all the way down it's hem. Hidden in her belt is a simple long sword with a black hilt, the belt has a swirling red mark in it's centre and two white clothes parting it across both legs to point down, black rimming it like an opposite of her sash behind it. She looked more like a leaf nin rather than a sand protector, mind you; she did grow up there with Kiba and his family.
They where cousins of sorts, but for some reason she was the one who got the wolf like appearance instead of getting a wolf. Groaning in a bored manner, she rubs her feet and prizes the sand from between her toes. Unlike everyone else her shoes were made of cloth and almost reached her knee's, they looked good but sometimes it just wasn't the best ware for a barren desert.
"there's never anyone at this post, I don't even get company" she sigh's kicking her feet before getting up onto her toes and finger tips, body curling up before she springs off onto the ground. The turtle just watches her sniff about before putting her ear to the ground, there where vibrations but too far away and too weak to be a threat.
Topping over to laze in the yellow dirt she stares at the cloudless sky, at least she was burn proof. It did annoy her sometimes, how everyone was pale here. The sand and sun should surly turn you into a tanned plank.
~~Until I get me vengeance, I will never end this mayhem. Oh no you didn't, I'm a mercenary, you ain't got a prayer, you owe MEEEEEE~~ she suddenly yelps knowing no one would hear her, or at least shouldn't have.
"no one cares, bitch!" someone snaps making her flinch and get onto her turtle on one knee, sword out and a glare on her face. Peering about no one appears making her tilt to one side, sniffing the air there isn't even a chakra signal close by.
~~Oh no you didn't, Betta watch your back boy, keep runnin'. This ain't just a game, I'll never stop comin'. I got my arsenal, I put out the call and when I'm finished ya'll. You'll be a rag doll~~ she screeches out of tune on purpose to peer around, there is a growl.
"shut the hell up! Fucker can't sing" bad mistake as she launches her self up onto the crag to dig her nails in, toes locked onto the side as she glares at the group eating. Not them again, letting go she scrapes herself off the side to leap backwards. A flip and a spin used to land with her back to them, disappearing back under the parasol to sit with her body hunched over.
Hopefully they hadn't thought anything off it and would leave her alone, fail.
"oi, bitch! If you're bored, you can fight me" the eat twitching as she thinks about it, head back down again.
"You're off guard duty now!" a girl squeaks as she sigh's thankfully, a large bang of smoke dropping her to the ground.
"finally" she sigh's doing a few knuckle bashes and a high five, the girl blinks.
"stay with me will you, I don't like sitting out here on my own…" she smiles making the turtle master groan. "I have treats~~" the girl pauses and turns her head slowly to glance at a chicken leg, her one weakness.
"you know you want it, the moist meaty inner, the chewy skin, the crunchy bo--" watching her snatch it and drop down to chew on. "too easy…" the brunette head sigh's getting out a mat to sit down, as expecting the young woman devours the bone leaving nothing. Her friend watching as she sit's looking dazed again, cold and icy as usual. "you have a small bird, on your head" blinking she picks up the bird to sniff, it looked edible, smelled edible, but it sure didn't taste edible.
"y-you really shouldn't eat anything, just because it looks bird like" she points out bluntly, watching the wolf like woman spit out the birds head in disgust. Meanwhile the blonde above was about to cry, what had just happened to his prized spy was morbid.
"she just, ate my art. Uuuuun!" he pines drearily, the large hunched over one sniggering softly.
"alright Luna, what puppet did you bring today" ears twitching as she messes about with a hand sign, her turtle appearing again to lay down by her side. "just the turtle? What if we get attacked?" the puppetress just gives a blunt stare, who was going to attack? The sand gnomes? "that thing would probably do the job, though" she laughs softly, watching the turtle stare innocently.
"oi, bitch. You gonna fight me or not?" that same irritating voice makes her sigh, glancing up she stares at the albino. Mouth forming an inappropriate word as she shakes her head, eyes turning back to the brunette head, giggling and waving. Fail, flirting with the enemy, what a stupid woman.
"I think you should, it's rather rude calling you a bitch…" she states as the silver hair is messed with.
"but I am a bitch…" she states with a blink, her friend opens her mouth before suddenly understanding what she was getting at.
"no, not a bitch. A bitch, someone who is nasty or horrible. Like Halley?" she questions watching her suddenly stand up, sword drawn with a scowl. Luna really did hate men with a passion. Quickly gasping when her friend disappears, everyone glancing about as the albino tenses to an arm being wrapped around his neck, to lay lazily.
"I'm concerned about you" the eyes turning to see her, the man slightly tense from the touch.
"I think you hold us women responsible, for the fact that your mummy didn't pay attention to you" she states in a soft manner, a small breath taken. "and if you don't get help, you'll eventually start picking up prostitutes and killing them" she smiles sweetly as the blue haired woman gasps.
"I've always wanted to say that to him!" the wolf woman turning to grin.
"yeah? Well now you don't have to" she smiles again as the albino twitches his eyebrow.
"you must blame men for the fact you're an ugly bitch, and a freak. Who must spend more time shagging her fucking puppets, than a real man!" he snaps as the silver haired woman laughs gently.
"hot chick, 12 o'clock" almost all of them actually turn their heads up as she outlays her hand as an exhibit.
"wow…" the woman with piercing's speaks, shifting her head back in confusion.
"I know, and there's your reason why I hate them" she chants in a delighted manner getting up and jumping back down to the sand below.
"did you really need to insult, all of them?" she smiles as the wolf woman just shrugs. "I have to say though, your comebacks are probably the best things I've ever seen" she laughs giving her a high five and another knuckle duster.
"I know…" she grins, the friend watching Luna get up and hum softly.
"don't you dare…" her brunette friend gasps watching her butt start to hip bang from side to side at the albino, now starting to glare.
~~My-my-my-my music hits me so hard makes me say, oh my Lord. Thank you for blessing me, with a mind to rhyme and two hyped feet. It feels good when you know you're down~~ she chants hearing him start to growl.
~~Can't touch this, can't touch this~~ she sings hearing him leap off, her body spinning to watch his face smack the ground. ~~I told you homeboy, you can't touch this. Yeah, that's how we're livin' and you know you can't touch this. Look in my eyes man, you can't touch this. You know, let me bust the funky lyrics. You can't touch this~~ she taunts hopping away from him like lighting, skipping merrily past his swipes.
~~Fresh new kicks and pants~~ she giggles booting him right in the chest. ~~You got it like that, now you know you wanna dance, so move out of your seat and get a fly girl and catch this beat~~ watching him start to disappear down a sand dune she laughs loudly with her friend. ~~While it's rollin' hold on, pump a little bit and let me know it's going on like that like that. Cold on a mission so pull on back, let 'em know that you're too much and this is a beat~~
Hearing him coming she leaps upwards, only to come back down and stand on the back of his freshly kicked head. ~~Uh, you can't touch~~ leaping off to let him get up, while her brunette friend keeps chuckling.
~~Yo, I told you. You can't touch this, why you standing there man? You can't touch this~~ she chants starting to shake her hips again, the albino now appearing about to flop down dead. ~~Move, slide your rump. Just for a minute let's all do the bump, bump. Bump, bump. Yeah, you can't touch this, look man you can't touch this~~ the final blow being given sending him packing up to his group, her friend sliding about with her as they both start to shimmy their feet about.
Eventually both drop down to grin cheerily at an easy win, a new person getting down to tower over her. Glancing up at the weird looking man with a black ponytail, the red shifting as Luna just stares at it broadly.
"what?" she enquires as his brow starts to sweat, getting up she tilts her head and starts to prod his forehead.
"I think he likes you" her friend giggles watching him hop off back to the group, somehow looking defeated.
"she's immune to my sharingan….somehow" he mutter's coolly getting down to relax, the albino hissing softly from all the bumps.
"interesting…" a man with auburn hair mutter's in awe, jumping down himself to look her up and down. Standing up her silver hair falls down to her calves again as she sorts out her brown tail, she looked a little like Deidara with the bangs and ponytail. His own eyes shifting as well making her stare bluntly, the friend giggling as the sight.
For some reason singing a corny song, and beating up one of their members made her 'attractive'. Punching he stops her hand, attempting to knee him he also blocks that. A smirk appearing on her face, as she removes the attacks just to stare at him.
"impressive…" she mutters with awe, it looked a lot like a moment he had just had. Hearing a bell the woman glances away with a glare, turning to stare around the barren desert.
"Laura…" she mutter's as the girl gets up with a confused expression. "their back…" she mutter's as the woman pulls for the man to move, both standing watching her creep back slowly to peer around.
"what's going on…" they enquire watching the woman suddenly stand back up, the expression of seriousness gone.
"false alarm…" turning her back to the sand to peer up, there is no calm expression for them though.
"Luna, watch out!! Sand Burster!" she squeals as the woman widens her eyes to turn around, towering above her is one monstrous beast. Cursing she leaps away from it's curved needle like teeth, it looked like some kind of Dragon-fish.
The woman staring about in shock as she runs for her turtle, throwing it onto the rock almost crushing the group if they hadn't jumped. "Luna!!" Laura hisses watching it resurface to come at her, the brunette grabbing any of them that try to help. "don't, you'll make more appear" she growls turning her head back to watching the silver haired woman running around like a headless chicken.
"I told you to bring more puppet's, you idiot!" she yell's watching the wolf stop to start sinking, damn worm had created quicksand. What she wouldn't do for her hammer puppet, she'd give it a lovely clobbering. Something crossing her mind as she shuffles about in her shirt, stopping to wave at her friend when the worm flies up and devours her.
Squealing as the stand suddenly settles becoming quiet, the friend jumping down to panic. The turtle just watching calmly as the friend starts to pine, fingers dug in the sand. "you stupid worms! Give her back!" she cries as someone pats her back. "she didn't deserve to die, digested by some stupid spineless freak" Standing up and jumping back when the worm comes back for more, it hisses before screeching about something and dropping down dead. It's eyes burning along with a lot of it's skin. "I think I just lost my lunch…" Laura groans before jumping when a voice mutters.
"I think I've found mine!" the woman standing with it's mouth open, her hands holding up it's mouth. "oh, got him right in the ovary" she smirks wiping her brow of the slime. "it really shouldn't have gotten out of bed" she sigh's hopping out completely. "I think I'll make a puppet out of this one" she smiles patting it softly on the nose, it whimpers softly making her turn around. "your alive? Thanks for being the worlds biggest target" she smiles as it squeals in pain. "hey, look on the bright side. You died with honour…and for my amusement" she chirps cuddling the thing as it twitches.
"this is probably why they put you in charge of this gate, Luna" Laura hums watching her friend place a scroll on it's forehead, sucking it in to be stored and turned into a puppet later.
"nah, they don't believe in Sand Burster's. It's like the time I found those sand gnomes, no one believes me. Little midgets bit me, too!" she crosses her arms in annoyance, the brunette patting her shoulder while spinning her finger in amusement behind her back, towards the group.
"I'm sure they do, along with the time you told us we don't really exist. And are a figment of someone's imagination, used to entertain people through screens!" the woman pouts softly, turning her head up to look at something.
"I know their out there, watching us…reading out every thought and move" she glares as her friend shakes her head.
"you're so paranoid…c'mon. Perhaps, while we have a ramen, you'll find the schematics to a 'mind controlling devise'" she laughs watching her friend sigh softly, the turtle disappearing again, as she waves at the albino with a grin.
Sitting in her house staring with a bored expression, Luna yawns while flicking the channels. Something shifting upstairs takes her attention, grabbing a broom she slowly creeps up the steps, to cautiously glance around. The grip on the shaft tightens when she hears someone scurry past the floor in her bedroom, the light inside indenting with a fast shadow of black.
"house elves…" she glares, she was too paranoid, way too paranoid. "you won't be stealing and hiding my things this time" she glares poking her head in to glance around, nothing as she double checks the ceiling before entering. "I know you're here, house elf…come out and get a smite across the head" she glares peering about, peeking around cautiously before casting her eyes down.
A small bird sits peering up, the head twitching, four wings on it's back. "you" she glares watching it chirp, the broom raised to smash it as it flutters out the window. "get back here!" she hisses jumping out after it to the ground, twisting about to see it comes down as a taunt. "damn house elf!" she growls chasing after it swiftly, swinging the broom as she zooms around a corner. Not caring about anyone giving strange looks to her running around in her nightdress, right past the Kazekage, Gaara. Skidding she huffs and stares about, his green eyes glancing down and for once he actually blushes.
"Kazekage-sama, have you seen a house elf? It looks like a bird!" she growls as he points in the direction of the gate. "that house elf wont escape me, this time!" running past she trots back and bows. "have a nice evening, sir!" scampering off while he stares, Kankuro coming out with an estranged expression.
"why are you blushing, Gaara?" the teen shakes his head from the daze to stare about, wandering off and saying nothing.
Meanwhile Luna was now slamming the sand as it hovers about urgently. "get back here, you stupid house elf!" she snarls leaping at it, the bird gliding from her pounce as it leads her, towards where she had been guarding before.
"I told you, she is very weird…" Laura sigh's, the group watching her swing and twirl after it. With a flick of the wrist she hits it to the ground.
"got you, you damned house elf!!" she squeals pulling it from under the broom as it struggles, her sharp teeth starting to show as she opens her mouth.
"Luna!" her mouth stops to hover over the hapless bird. "d-don't eat that thing…it's just a bird!" Laura chirps dropping down, now in that black cloak, she pauses to stare at her in a nightdress. "why are you in your PJ's…" she enquires as the wolf lets go of the blasted creature.
"why are you in that kimono" her friend retorts pulling at it, the brunette rubbing the back of her head.
"you hate the desert, right?" she enquires watching her friend glare, oh hell no. She was no coming with Them, the glare increasing as Laura sigh's softly. "you also hate being forced…" she mutter's watching the woman give a more perplexed stare, her most trusted, no. Her only trusted friend, would actually force her into doing something, she didn't want to do?
"I have no choice then, I'm going to have to tie you up" the brunette producing rope and watching the female jump back, to the ground she squats and glares in a threatening manner. Finger's twitching and digging into the sand, the rumbling forces Laura away from the sand as more Sand Burster appear to swing their heads down all around Luna. She knew her friend had no chance against her puppets, the wolf clan female would take that as a chance to escape. Swallowed up by one of them they disappear back under and away, the group cursing the escape.
"I was hoping this would have been just as easy…" the leader sigh's drearily, he wasn't in the mood to hunt down a member. The village was no longer safe, not even her house was safe as she grabs her stuff - to escape before they come looking for her here. Sitting in the worm she sigh's and leans against a stool, the glass around it's mouth; a window to let she see.
"sand, rocks…more rocks, sand…dirt" she was finally out of the desert and heading towards the mountains, the vacant volcano cave was the safest place to be; even if it were only for a little while. Sitting there she sigh's softly, so much for trusting someone. Patting her turtle she puts out her puppet's to guard the entrance, the only males she could trust apparently. Even if she was the one controlling them, sitting in the lap of her biggest one, she closes her eyes.
"what a mess…" she sigh's still in her nightdress, she didn't feel like bothering with getting dressed just yet. Luna's frost hazel eyes melt back, into a softer stare as she start's to get comfy, she blames that stupid house elf.
~~it was a recipe for disaster, it seems happily ever after was happy everyone was after me~~ of course she also blamed that stupid albino, if he hadn't kept fighting her then the sand beasts wouldn't have appeared. Then again she was blaming both of them for her own trip ups, if she hadn't taunted him then it wouldn't have happened. And if it wasn't for her obsession with house elves, then she wouldn't have chased it out and got caught.
Groaning she slides further into it's arms to kick her legs gently, the cool night air starting to turn to a hot Suna morning. Hearing something she jolts when her prized puppets scrape the ground to fly past her, grabbing her sword to huddle further into her puppet. That large guy from before appearing, a long metal tail shimmering in the dull lighting.
Widening her eyes, she readies her puppets axe. Only to find it drop the large metal object, cursing the fact he was also a puppet controller. Making her puppets disappear, they wouldn't be able to help her with this fight. Throwing a Kunai it is rebound off by the large tail, her body leaping up when it comes towards her. In the air she curses when it coils round her like a spring, casting her self to fall further then it attempts to grab her.
Sword in hand, she dodges the attacks to slam it through the head, a grin on her face as she stares into it's eyes. Leaping when the tail still comes at her, the grin erased as the tail pulls it out. Another weapon for the bastard to use, but how was he alive? She stabbed him in the head, for goodness sake.
"a puppet…" she glares kneeling defencelessly away from him, great.
"you're not very fast with assumptions, are you?" he enquires as she glares, she did know. It was just that he looked like the master, if he was the puppet then where was the controller?
Shifting her head about there is no sight of him or her, jumping when the tail slashes across the ground. "why aren't you fighting with your puppets?" he questions coldly, Luna staring behind him for any sight before it crosses her mind. He was inside of the puppet! Glaring she pulls out a Kunai, flinging herself towards his back. The tail blocking the attack in retaliation, the silver haired woman runs across the ground in an attempt to get him from the side, only managing to cut the fabric for a split second.
That tail was impossible to keep an eye on, fumbling towards the back of the cave she glances about. Grabbing a belt she pulls out a few bottles, popping the cap as she runs back. Throwing it at him while his tail shifts in front, he seems surprised when it corrodes away the metal to snap off. Hopping at him she swings and kicks the puppet head, a crack is head before it comes off.
If she couldn't cut him out, then she'd just have to break her way through his shell. "you'll pay for that" he growls watching her coming back, whatever's left of his tail coming at her but she ignores it. The moment it comes in contact the metal shatter's, even bits that weren't even touched by the chemical.
"I wouldn't do that fat man, you're just ruining your puppet" she yell's with a smirk coming back down to stand on his back, pausing to just sit there. "what's the matter? Fat for your tongue?" she grins knocking on the shell. "boo" she chirps glancing down the neck tunnel, blinking she crosses her legs to sit on his back. "no hard feelings, it's difficult to fight me" she giggles, he seemed to have given up attacking for now.
"are you going to come out of there, or shy away…" she questions shuffling about on his back until she finds a comfortable position, pouting gently. "fine, men can be so obnoxious…" she mumbles peering about at the exit, blinking when she hit's the ground from the shell opening. Getting back up to peer inside, nothing there. Blinking she raises her eyebrow. "you're as quick as a little bunny, aren't you?" she smiles peering about for him, turning her head back to the inside.
There was a chair and everything in there, why hadn't she thought of doing that with her turtle when going out on a mission? "clearly you know what your doing with puppets…" she mumbles sitting down inside it, cold as if no one was even in there. Growing alarmed when it slams shut like a clam, sealing her inside. Knocking about as she tries to get back out, she hated tight places.
And this dark and dank atmosphere just made it all the worse. "let me out!" she snaps bitterly scratching at the insides, the puppet starting to move as she claws about. "I said let me out!!!" she yells until finally giving up on that, nails still scrapping and scratching at the wooden surface. Voices outside making her paranoid and scared, she really did not like this one bit.
"what happened to you? Un" someone questions.
"the brats inside there, she really did a number on my puppet" a gruff voice growls in annoyance.
"let's just get her back, before the leader complains again, un" someone mutter's, Luna still clawing at the puppet until she is too tiered and lays back to rest.
"I don't like it in here" she whispers glancing around the darkness, there was room but even then it was too tight. The longer she stayed inside, the more it just felt like the walls where coming closer. The air lacking until she starts to breath unnecessarily heavily, hyperventilating as she starts to cry softly. The quiet atmosphere ruined by her smashing her entire body at the walls again, clawing until she was bleeding. "please, let me out" she whines running her claws across the wet surface, there is a groan outside.
"will you just fall asleep, or something? Your giving me a headache, un" they mutter as she seems to shrivel back into the farther corner, not even the gods knew what they were going to do to her.
