Adriel hadn't expected this and was grabbed by the ankle making her fall flat on her face on his tail, the sand starts to eat up her body all around her in attempt to suck her in like quicksand. "ice slice" she calls and ice blasts out cutting away the sand while she gets up and starts running again, doing a quick jolt on the final step she does an agile spin on his shoulder and latches to his back. Gaara spins violently trying to see her finally he grabs her with his claws and pulls her around to meet his face, Gaara snarls his teeth edging closer to her body ready to smash down and crush her bones. He stops to see her lips curl up into a smile and then pucker into a kissing form.

"boom" she silently whispers making his eyes widen, on his back was a Kunai with a bomb, in a mass explosion flame and smoke rises followed by a loud and deafen bang. Gaara drops Adriel letting her escape away to see from afar the damage she had placed on him. When the smoke clears Adriel looks at Gaara now taking the form of a half melted candle, the explosion had deformed his back and side of his body; Adriel gives a small snigger looking at the mortified Gaara.

"you look like a used candle Gaara-san" Temari and Kankuro look at her with the 'she's-crazy' wide eyes, Gaara stands trying to prop him self up as the sand around him is crumbling to the ground in small mounds, she had managed to damage him at his weakest spot but she didn't hurt his under body at all. Momentarily Gaara was defenceless against anything attack giving Adriel the upper hand for now, without wasting a moment she runs in and starts pummelling him with kicks and punch's that speed up faster and stronger until her arm's and leg's movement's can hardly be seen until he's in the air. Then she takes a move from Rock Lee's books and does a downward kick sending him back into the ground below. Gaara's demon form was now terribly disfigured and melting into the ground like wax, his sand floats around him in attempt to heal the body and rebuild it. Adriel delivers him a double slam fist punch right in the chest while he's standing and trying to regain breath, Gaara lies on the ground limp and not moving now while Adriel lands on one tip toe then the rest of her feet and looking at where Gaara had been blasted to; her breath only inch's out of place before settling into a normal rhythm. Gaara lies in the crater looking up and trying to think about something, Temari stunned by this whole thing.

Temari [Taking Gaara on in his current form…] her eyes wide and watching Adriel step closer to the hole where Gaara's legs and tail are pocking out.

Gaara [where did that strength come from?] Gaara lies there thinking to the sound of light footsteps pacing closer to him.

"There's absolutely no way I'm going to lose to a girl like you!" he screams angrily making Adriel jump in surprise at his sudden outburst, masses of sand burst out around Gaara and into the sky with great speed sending Adriel flying when some of it collapse's in her direction and spreading fast, smoke covers the land and sky above until a large bulky silhouette can be barely seen. Adriel stares up and gasps at the colossal figure towering right above her casting all light into darkness around her and blocking out the sun. the giant mountain like blob starts to move slowly with heavy footsteps through the forest crushing everything in its path.

"the perfect position…Shukaku…" Adriel stares up at what she has concluded to as the once human Gaara, worry fills her thoughts when she remembers the city that isn't that far from their current positions. Finally a bellowing evil voice echo's through the ears and tree's around them."well what do you know? I never thought you would truly bring this out of me" the voice gruffly laughs and looking at his large bulky self, his entire body devoured in the sand like demons body, he was nothing like his self anymore. Adriel jumps when she looks down to see Gaara's sand that had fallen on her during the explosion earlier was groping its way around her body and coiling her into a trap capturing and destroying her chance of escape. Being lifted up into the air she finds her self face to face with Gaara snarling and looking down on the tiny ordurve the sand he summoned had brought him, Adriel struggles looking at Shukaku as the sand wraps further around her body this amuses him.

"the more you struggle the tighter the sand will become around your little body" he monotones with spite and delight when he can almost hear her little bones cracking under the pressure. "you really are good at amusing me" Gaara's demon smiles and his eyes squint to make sure his lustful smile is defiantly seen in Adriel's slowly tightening eyes. Something begins to appear on his head, Adriel looks up as the sand demon tilts to bring her face to face with a very deluded Gaara, she almost squirms when she looks at his blank eyes with nothing but white where his once blue eyes where staring emotionlessly at her mask. The sight in front of her made her forget about the sand gripping her body because of the fleeting horrors starting to grip her heart.

"G-Gaara-san?" Adriel manages to gasp as she's brought close enough so that Gaara is breathing down her neck sending chills down every part of her skin and making the hairs stand up.

"to thank you for entertaining me here today…I'll show you the true power of the manifestation of the sand" Gaara hoarsely whispers in her ear before his head hits her shoulder, Adriel looks straight ahead to afraid to move or say anything. Adriel can feel Gaara's hands rubbing against her stomach into a hand sign, she manages to shift just slightly to see what he's doing but even before looking she knew what he was going to do and she could only hope and prey it was a bluff. Gaara shudders while trying to cast the spell Adriel muttering getting louder into his ear in the hopes of snapping him out of it.

"Gaara-san please! Listen to me, don't do it. Your mind and soul will be eaten away by Shukaku" the scraping sand around her tense's to shut her up, Gaara ignores her as if he can't hear her at all and continues what he's doing. His eyes shut and he murmurs the sinful words that Adriel screams for him not to utter from his lips.

"Tanuki Neiri no Jutsu" Adriel's eyes widen as she screams 'no' in his ear in horror as the Jutsu puts him to sleep releasing Shukaku's spirit within him self and he falls limp, collapsing entierly into Adriel's figure. Her head droops onto his shoulder in pleading gasps of sadness and air, the large sand demon shifts, eyes widening as his pupils dilate and spin as if unlocking like a seal then getting used to its surroundings. The demon blasts its head up into a high pitched roar as he yells out in joy.

"I'm free! Here I come!!" he yells making Adriel squirm but never move away from the lifeless rag doll Gaara that had become against her, suddenly the sand shifts off dropping her onto Shukaku's head her hold stays on Gaara as she shakes him frantically and screams his name. "too bad weakling, there's nothing you can do for Gaara now" the demon smugly sniggers looking at the girl on his head and licking his lips, sand slides up her legs dragging her body up to her waist under his skin trapping her from escaping. "stop with your futile plea's, Gaara can't hear you and your voice is getting on my nerves" Shukaku laughs sitting down on the ground to get a good look around him self before planning his next move. Something boils up inside Adriel's soul, she had never noticed it until now her voice deepens into an angry whisper.

"shut the hell up…" the demon jabbers on and on about how good he is and then foul mouthing Gaara, this gradually cause's her to repeat her self until she got so angry that her practically screamed the words 'shut up' at the demon that it silenced the large demon instantly. Shukaku felt a strong and evil pureness starting to bubble and burn at the skin of Adriel, her eyes shut and her arms still wrapped around Gaara's limp body. In a monstrous screech Adriel's head bangs backwards and up to look into the sky as a white mist escapes her mouth blinding Shukaku, at first he stands trying to look before getting into defence at a roar and a boom sounds in the distance. A large stream of puffy smoke bursts from the veil over his nose and flies off into the distance before another large bang is sounded making another large orb of smoke in the distance.

Shukaku raises his claws when a heavy wind flows through the air whisking away the lingering clouds, large blue pools of sapphire glint and shimmer through the smoke until her entire body is now in the open plain. The rest of her eyes are a ruby red ring circling her eyelids into a slit formation running down and along her snow white nose like Shukaku her sapphire pupils could send shivers through even the strongest demon because the rest of her eye was a deep colourless black, sucking in and locking the sand demon in a staring contest; the rest of her body was a pure snow white making the long wafting tail behind her more noticeable in the light blue cloudless sky around them.

"Neivauncas? Who would of guessed you would be hiding in such a pathetic girl" Shukaku laughs setting his sights on the artic fox demon standing before him silently looking at him before baring teeth to answer him. "who would of thought such an ugly demon like you would of survived this long" Shukaku's laughter seizes to this insult but drops into a cunning smirk as he steps closer to the opposing demon. "since you are free, join me in taking over this mortal world" Neivauncas snarls loudly before snorting when he removes his foot from the earth he was about to step on. "I wouldn't join you if you where the last demon on this wretched planet" her back rises as she sets her self into a pouncing position and begins to circle the sand demon with intimidating eyes. "you're still as unsightly as you where such a long time ago…" Neivauncas taunts getting Shukaku into a irritated state of mind.

"words coming from a demon traitor? You where one of the good looking demon as well. It's a terrible sight to find my self having to kill you" Shukaku yells swinging his tail in the air and placing one of his hands on his stomach. "here I come baby!" he yells loudly making her ears slick back along her neck then prick up again, she stops her circling and steadies her pouncing motive straight at him from the side. "I hope you're ready to die, lets do this" Neivauncas snarls and releases her claws in the ground at her paws and whips her tail through the green tree's now slightly irritated by the silly monotone Shukaku obtains in his voice.

"I don't know what's worse, your looks or your stupid voice" she spits in a hissy tone trying to make Shukaku hurry up and make the first attack against her.
