Konan, Angel of the Rain

Konan makes her way into the maze, she takes a minute to seek out the chakra of her butterflies that she gave to the two, but the seemingly alive maze disrupts her making it near impossible to find them, so she goes deeper into the maze, as she runs the roots of the maze swipe at her ankles trying to trip her and make her fall.

Her breath heaving and laboured and a cold sweat building on her she runs sensing the feeling that someone is following, watching what she is doing. She finds herself at a cross roads four directions, and she can only pick one. She releases a flurry of paper airplanes that all shoot of in various directions, she chooses left, Konan has always preferred left to right and the airplane that's went left read the most chakra's hoping to find Yahiko or Nagato. The maze shifts and move in front of her making her turn, she picks up the pace and begins to run becoming desperate to find anyone to reassure herself that she isn't alone, she finds herself at a long narrow path, the maze forces her down it closing rapidly behind her, but she is pulled out of the insanity by Kushina who looks as relived as her to see someone "Konan!" She immediately grabs her "I haven't been able to find anyone in this maze!"

"Me neither, it's like this place is being controlled by someone." Konan looks behind Kushina and standing there is a member from the rain team "Look out!" Konan jumps in front of Kushina building a paper barrier blocking the needles that had been shot at them; Kushina hurls explosive kunai through the barrier and the two bolts leaving him in the explosion, but they are quickly pursued the him. As she runs Konan lets of stray explosive tags that detonate as he chases them "You can't run forever! When I get you both…" His voice sinister and cruel, the maze finally boxes them in, Kushina and Konan have no where they can run "Dammit!"

He approaches them slowly and shoots three quick darts at Kushina, she's hit with one of the three and in seconds she out cold "Kushina!" Konan makes a paper barrier to block him out "She'll be like that for hours!" He yells at her "I'll finish off with her last, and start with you first…" The mazes reveals a path to Konan and she lifts Kushina and bolts, however she doesn't get far, Konan has many skills and is very talented but she has never been the strongest Ninja and now it really showed. She sets Kushina down and prepares for a standoff; she raises her hand and paper flurries around her.

"If you touch her I will kill you!" Paper Shuriken begin to form above her.

"Hmm…" He looks her up and down "I think… I'll keep you awake; I'm going to enjoy myself with you…"

"I won't let you! You're a sick twisted kill joy!" She hurls the shuriken at him, shadow clone. She turns and he tackles her to the ground, and from his mouths he hurls a dart at her neck, she struggles from his grip "Chakra nullifying toxins, jutsu are useless…"

"Ahh, clever girl, deducing all that from one dart, I'm impressed."

She grabs a kunai from her waist, he comes at her, she moves but she is sluggish the dart is beginning to take full effect, she can't even manipulate her paper anymore, he grabs her wrists and drops her to the floor knocking the kunai from her hand, just out of reach. He tries to silence her but she bites down, she scrambles for the kunai but gets pulled back by her ankles, now he has her in a full lock. "When I'm done you can watch me with your friend…" this repulses Konan, he starts to run his hand up toward her chest, she reaches and finally has her hand on the kunai, she plunges it into his side, he rolls of her screaming from the pain, she then get on top of him and with all her force stabs him relentlessly blood spraying from his corpse.

"Konan! Konan stop!"

"Don't touch me!"

"Konan it's me…" She wraps her arms around him and cries into his arms.

"He tried to…"

"Shh… I know… I know…" She continues to sob onto Yahiko as he comforts her.
