Shino and Ayra quickly turned back to the arena as they heard Gaara scream. Ayra covered her ears at the amount of pain that was in his voice. She looked with wide eyes at the fight. Her hands were still over her ears to stop herself from hearing the painful scream.
Both she and Shino looked confused at the sight before them. Sasuke's hand was inside of the dome of sand that Gaara had created. They wondered how that could make Gaara scream is so much pain. Did he have a kunai? They had wondered this.
"Blood! It's my blood!" Gaara screamed. His scream seemed to have pained many people from the volume.
Shounta was running as fast as she could, she had to get to Shikamaru, Naruto, even Stijn. She just knew that she had to get to one of them. She had to tell them that the sand was planning something. She stopped when she heard a loud scream. She could only guess what Sasuke did to Gaara.
She ran again, trying to get to them. She slowed down, she felt dizzy. She wanted to sleep. As gently as she could as fell to the ground and let sleep take her from the future destruction.
Shino and Ayra could only watch as they the many people of the arena fall under the sleeping genjutsu. They saw Temari and Kankuro leave to go to Gaara.
Both ran down the halls, they paused when they saw Shounta asleep under the genjutsu. Ayra was preparing to wake her up when Shino pulled her away.
"Leave her, Ayra-chan. She would be better off asleep. They would do less harm to a sleeping person than an awake one." Shino told her solemnly as he dragged her down the halls.
They stopped when they heard Naruto, Shikamaru, Sakura, and a dog leave. They looked to each other and nodded. Both left to follow, but at a faster rate. To them the others were back up.
Unsurprisingly, both had been on missions like this. Thought neither had been on an A-ranked mission, they had experience with things like this. Ayra followed Shino as they raced through the forest.
Sasuke raced to get to Gaara and his siblings. When he finally caught sight of them, Temari stepped back to fight him. Both fire and wind clashed.
They fought for several minutes when he was finally able to shake her off, but she quickly was able to get to Gaara.
This time Kankuro stood to fight. Just as Sasuke was preparing to fight, a voice called to him.
"Sasuke-san, continue to follow them. I have a fight to finish with him." Shino said to Sasuke. As Sasuke turned he saw Ayralena hiding not far from Shino. From what he could guess, Ayra would help Shino ambush Kankuro.
Sasuke quickly took his chance and left quickly.
Shino turned to Kankuro, his bugs buzzing with wanting to fight. Shino understood as the bugs let themselves free to fight.
Kankuro watch with disgust, the bugs scared him. He shivered with disgust and fear. After almost losing to him in the arena, he would not take Shino lightly.
Shino slightly smirked under his coaler. He wanted a good fight, and if he needs it, he had Ayra.
Ayra watched from her crouched position, looking at what will be a good fight. She was slightly angered when Shino told her not to fight unless she was needed.
However she understood that with little charka, she would be useless. She sighed, this would be boring.
Kankuro reviled his strange puppet, this time knives came out of the puppet. Ayra could see the poison dripping off the blade, she was sure Shino could too.
'That poison doesn't look too good. I hope Shino-kun can avoid that.' Ayra thought as she watched. She watched intently, Kankuro's puppet charged at Shino. She watched as Shino dogged the blades of the puppet.
She decided that she would help in small ways that wouldn't give her away. She quickly sent her charka to the puppet. She used the charka to freeze the joints of the puppet. Hopefully Shino would get her plan.
For some reason Shino's bugs seemed to like her charka. Even Shino said it was unusual. The bugs would want to go to her charka, so they would eat away at the puppets joints. Shino would notice what she was trying to do, but Kankuro wouldn't know what hit him.
Shino jumped into a bush to hide. When Kankuro was looking for him, Shino got to her.
"What do you think your doing?" Shino asked her raising an eyebrow. Ayra regarded him with a slight look. "I'm helping in any way I can." Ayra said simply. Both nodded to each other before jumping to other places.
Ayra was careful not to let Kankuro find her. As she kept going around the battlefield she left pieces of her charka for later. She found a new place on a tree.
Shino was getting tired, she knew they had to stop this fight soon. Just as she was going to active a jutsu, Shino was caught in a poisonous haze. She used this distraction to get Kankuro.
"Ice Style: Frozen Position Jutsu" Ayra called. Kankuro's feet were frozen to the tree branch.(1)
Kankuro's eye's wided as he saw this. Just as he was going to use his puppet to get Ayra, Shino's bugs prevented any movement from the puppet.
"Damn you bitch!" Kankuro yelled to Ayra. He was so preoccupied glaring at her, he didn't even notice Shino coming at him until to late.
Shino punched Kankuro in the face, however Kankuro didn't get to far from Ayra's jutsu.
Ayra decided to finally let the jutsu go. When she did Kankuro fell to a lower branch. She looked down from using too much charka. She looked up when she heard Shino fall on the branch.
She jumped over to him, hoping to be able to help him in her state. She looked him over and saw no injuries, but she knew that the poison was taking affect. She placed her hands near his lungs and used some of her remaining charka to try and stop the poison. If only for a little while.
After she was sure she had reached her limit, she passed out. Both her and Shino were on the same branch, passed out. They could only hope that someone could help them. Ayra hoped that someone could save Shino from the poison.
1. Alright this is a new one. Short of like Shikamaru's jutsu, only with ice. I could have used this in Ayra's fight a few chapters ago, but I decided not to.
