Chapter 3

Ninja vs. Samurai showdown

Following the river, Kankuro gained speed. He had to find his brother. As an older brother, Kankuro's job was to keep Gaara safe. He sighed slightly. He knew Gaara didn't really need protection hell Gaara was way stronger than he was. All Kankuro could seem to do was help out with paperwork.

A riverbank began to form, and the river valley began to fade. Stopping, Kankuro looked at the sandy banks he was standing in. Looking farther down, he noticed a small oasis with palm trees and grass. In the oasis a small shack was located. He spotted a girl folding her laundry and hanging it to dry. Staring at her, Kankuro watched her work. She gently held her clothing, and a light breeze made her white hair, peach dress and brown cloak flutter. Breathing, Kankuro walked over to her. "Excuse me." He asked politely.

She turned to face him, a surprised look on her face. "Yes?" her voice was sweet, and gentle like she was.

"Have you seen a man with red hair with a tattoo?" Kankuro asked.

Tilting her head, she stared at him her pink eyes big and bright. "A man with red hair, and a tattoo?" She repeated.

Kankuro nodded, and Maki thought for a moment. "Hmm…what is he too you?" That odd question caught Kankuro off guard.

"What? He's my little brother." He answered quickly.

"Oh, Your Gaara's oniisan?" Maki said.

Kankuro grabbed her shoulders. "You've seen him? Where is Gaara?"

Blushing, Maki didn't expect him to touch her. Placing her hands on his chest, she pushed him away. "Please let go of me."

Realizing he had upset her, Kankuro stepped back. "S-sorry."

Placing a pin to hold a shirt to the cloth's line, Maki said. "I'll take you to him."

Walking towards the shack, Maki stopped. "But, if you are lying I'll kill you," She turned to look at him, "Ok?"

Maki's voice was innocent, but serious. Kankuro knew she meant it. "I'm not lying jan." Kankuro put up his punk attitude again, a mask.

Pointing to the shack, she said. "Gaara-kun is in my home."

Without warning, a huge liquid tentacle emerged from the river and wrapped around Kankuro. It began to constrict him, and Maki screamed. "Thank you for leading me to Gaara-sama." The voice chuckled.

Looking over, Maki stared into the face of Shiro, the man who was trying to kill Gaara. Swinging his claymore, Shiro tried to attack Maki. Suddenly, a giant lizard like puppet surfaced from the ground and used a large shield on its back to block Shiro's attack. Grinning widely, Shiro looked at Kankuro. "Hehe, good. I thought this would be boring." As he spoke, Kankuro's face began to crack and reveal a puppet with shaggy hair.

Taking this chance, Maki rushed inside to grab her weapon. Gaara sat up looking at her. "Maki what's happening?"

Jumping from shock, Maki forgot he was there for a second. "Oh, Don't worry Gaara Your brother and I will take care of the nuisance."

"K-Kankuro is here?" Gaara forced out.

Holding up along sword sheath, Maki pulled out a long katana. The blade was a jet grey, and was extremely sharp. On the handle a pair of angle wings were decorated. Bursting through the door, Maki pulled out the katana. What she saw made her gasp. Three puppets were battling against Shiro, the lizard, the bushy haired man, and a strange puppet with a long snout. "I don't know you too well, but let's kick this bastard's ass Kankuro!" Maki shouted.

-Meanwhile-

Grabbing the necessary papers, Temari prepared to call in the ninja teams to search for Gaara. Rushing onto the roof of on of the walls bordering Suna, Temari awaited for the ninjas arrive. Being slightly impatient, she wanted to hurry up and go save her brothers. But as the eldest child, she had to think ahead and plan diligently.

Squads of Suna ninja appeared before her. She grinned. "Alright! Our Kazekage-sama is missing somewhere in the desert, and as his ninja we must find Gaara-sama!"

A few ninja shouted and hollered, agreeing with her. "Now this will be very dangerous the rouge ninja Shiro Raganor. He has attacked our village, and now we must protect Suna!" Temari waved her arm, and the ninja squads vanished into the night, searching for their Kazekage.

Panting heavily, Maki had just successfully had the crap beaten out of her. Rubbing the blood off her face, she held her sword tightly. "Crap, I'm not fast enough." She mumbled.

Watching the puppets battle against Shiro, Kankuro knew they were not strong enough to cause much damage. He grumbled. "Great what now jan."

Charging at Maki, Shiro swung his claymore at her. She easily blocked it, but didn't notice his second attack. Kankuro did. "Shit." He muttered as he three his shuriken at her.

Shiro dodged the in coming shuriken but returned to swinging at Maki. Feeling her body give way, Maki knew she wouldn't be able to dodge this time. A cold sensation prickled her body, like tine strings were attached to her. Abruptly, Maki moved out of the way of Shiro's claymore. Her eyes wide, she wasn't controlling her body. Moving left and right, Maki easily avoided every swing. Jumping into the air, Maki unwillingly landed beside Kankuro. "Kankuro are you controlling my body?" She asked.

He nodded. "Don't worry, with your strength and my plan this'll be simple jan."

A large smile appeared on Maki's face. "Alright! That sounds great." Holding out her hand, Maki added. "I'm Maki X-09."

Kankuro gave a confused look. "What kind of last name is that jan!?"

Punching his shoulder, Maki answered. "It's the best kind."

Taking a battle stance, she was ready to kick ass. "Alright, let's go kick ass Kankuro!"

DUN DUN DANUH!

Maki: M-My last name is so strange.

Me: I thought it was unique since you're an al-*Maki covers my mouth*

Maki: SHH! They don't know yet *points to all those oblivious*

Me: Oh yeah, no spoilers. Oops Kankuro and Gaara don't know you're an alien yet *SMACK*

Maki: You idiot author

Kankuro & Gaara: WUH! *shocked*
