Chapter Two is up and It's one of my personal favorites! Enjoy!


It has been two months since the Leaf and Sand went to war with the Mist and Sound. No battles have reached either village; most have been within the forest near the Mist. The sand ninja have been helping as best they can but neither them or the Leaf will last much longer without forcing the jinchuuriki to fight. Gaara, Naruto, and Cagalli have been exempt from the fighting until they are ordered to.

Cagalli was on the bridge, as still as stone as if she was waiting for something. Then she opens her eyes and looks to the sky.

"So today's the day?" she asked softly.

Are you ready pup? Arashi asks.

"I was born ready." Cagalli smirks and walks back towards the village.


Later…

"And why am I coming?" Cagalli asked. Loki, Sherto's assistant, was bring her to a tactics meeting since it won't be long till she's ordered to fight, but Cagalli didn't buy it. She knew this was probably Sherto's idea to capture and control her, but she would just play along for now. "Here we are," Loki said stopping at a door at the end of the hallway, "Sherto-sama and the others have already started." Loki softly smirks as Cagalli opens the door and enters. In the group, a group of ninja, including Sherto, are standing around a map on a table near a series of windows. Cagalli walks forward and Sherto looks up and she reaches the group. He smirks and then his ninja surround Cagalli.

"You're sloppy Sherto." She snickers.

"If I was sloppy you won't have come." He laughed.

"I knew what was going on the minute Loki told me to come. Why would you bring only me and not invite the Hokage? Hmm?" Cagalli says with a sarcastic tone.

"You may have figured it out but that won't stop me. Your type will be used whether you like it or not." Sherto smirks.

His ninja jump at Cagalli but she jumps over them. "If you want me that badly." She yells before breaking the window, "THEN TRY AND CATCH ME!" With that she jumps out and Sherto's ninja follow after her.


The village was basically empty since everyone was evacuated to the Sand since the Mist ninja would most likely attack Konaha instead of Suna. Cagalli raced down a street with her pursuers not far behind. "Would it pay to have some water in this damn village!" Cagalli thinks angrily. She spots a barrel of water ahead of her, "Perfect!" She throws a kunai so that it causes the barrel to tip over and spill the water on the ground. She stops in the puddle and faces the oncoming ninja. They get closer and she forms some seals, "Mizu no Tatsumaki no Jutsu!"A giant tornado rises from the water and traps some of the ninja, while Cagalli escapes.

Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, without anyone there the village was almost like a maze. "DAMMIT!" she says as she enters a new street, it's full of exploding notes. One her pursuers throws a kunai at on and it sets them all off sending Cagalli and a large cloud of smoke into the air. "I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED!" and a dark blue chakra engulfs her body. When she lands, she is no longer Cagalli but a running, one-tailed Arashi. She exits the cloud and, using one of her abilities, Arashi turns invisible.


Still invisible, Arashi reaches the street that leads to the gate entrance to Konaha. Even though she's invisible, Arashi hides behind a couple of barrels. For once, it's closed and guarded by the fifty ninja who work under Sherto. "He's REALLY testing my patience." Arashi growls to herself. You have a plan to get out? Cagalli asks and Arashi mentally laughs "Easy, Just hold on. I haven't used this jutsu in the longest time." Arashi answers with a smirk.

Arashi opens her mouth and a small ball of dark blue chakra, the size of a marble, forms and starts to slowly grow. Once the ball gets to the size of an orange, she can't hold her invisible and lets herself be visible. They see her and start running towards her. TOO LATE! The ball swells to the size of a basketball and she releases it in a large blast heading straight for the gate and incoming ninja. It hits the gate and the door fling off and Arashi, followed by Sherto and the ninja not killed by the blast, rushes out. "Dammit Cagalli! Where's that lake! That blast took a lot out of me!" Arashi mentally barks to Cagalli. Not much further. Hang tight. Cagalli answers. Arashi growls as she tries to stay ahead of her pursuers. Form the dense view of the forest, a lake comes into view and Arashi speeds up. "HURRY! CATCH HER BEFORE SHE REACHES THE LAKE!" Sherto yells. Arashi smirks and begins to glow a pale blue. Sherto takes out the needle Loki gave him. Arashi jumps and aims for the water and just before she hits the water; Sherto throws the needle and hits one of Arashi's back legs. When Arashi enters the water, the entire lake glows and Arashi disappears. "Where'd she go!" one ninja exclaimed. "That. Was one of her abilities. She water-skipped. Where she is now, only she knows." Sherto says then smirks. "But at least it wasn't a total loss." He says to himself then yells "RETURN TO

THE VILLAGE!"


"She's late." Tsunade says, Cagalli was supposed to report to her over an hour ago and she still hasn't come, "What could this mean…" Then one of the windows crash and RaiKaze lands on her desk. On his leg is a pair of notes, one addressed to Tsunade-sama and the other to Gaara. She opens hers and reads it.

Tsunade-sama,

If you have gotten this note, it means I most likely was ambushed and am currently in hiding. This is not a joke. When you have finished reading this note, send RaiKaze with the other note to Gaara in the Sand. Then alert Kakashi about my disappearance. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I can take care of myself and I have Arashi.

Cagalli

P.S. If it because urgent that you need to find my location, ask Jiraiya what "All Water has a Source" means. He'll know.

"Cagalli…" Tsunade sighs, "Be careful."


Meanwhile…

In a dark cave there is a small waterfall with a wolf statue on either side. The water pours into a shallow pool. Out of the water pops Cagalli. She stands up, clutching her left arm, and walks closer to the waterfall. The waters split to reveal a dark passage with a mysterious blue glow in the distance. Cagalli enters and the waters return to the normal flow behind her. A voice softly rings out, Welcome to my Sanctuary, pup.
