The explosion went off just at the border of upon entering the Land of Wind, those who didn't have a chance from the unexpected attack where unfortunate. Bodies flew everywhere, some motionless while other gravely wounded and others with a few minor injuries. A medic team was called over quickly.
Kai who was nearby rushed over with his squad, who quickly attend to the wounded while another squad came to look over the damage as well be prepared for any other sort of attack. Their weapons drawn, steadily waiting for a next strike. Kai doing his best to stop the bleeding of large wound, felt something was wrong.
Two Konohagakure ninjas near by race to the scene one activating their doijutsu allowing them see the incoming ambush that awaited the those by the border.
"Move!"Neji alerts them, just as his words leave his mouth shadow figures jump out casting a shadow over the unexpected ninjas. Turning to their attackers who strike a few, while the rest where able to defend themselves. Striking like vipers the attackers strike taking down their prey, Kai and his team doing their best to focus upon healing had to stop and offer assistance to the others. Lucky for Kai he managed to heal his's quickly he draws his tanto hidden on his back infusing it with his chakra, and takes out the Foot Bot before they could land any sort of blow. Slicing it in half with a single out of remorse in his eyes, that turned cold. Giving himself distance, blocking the strike of a another Foot Bot, their blades clashing with eachother.
Being quicker, Kai manages to drop down and with hidden blade in his shoe slices the bot in half. Quickly making the required hand signs for his jutsu to be interrupted, and saved by Kaskhi flaking on his right quickly making waste of the sneak attack by the Foot Bot.
Both men land next to eachother. Kai gives a thank you nod to the jonin, neither having the time to express their thanks vocally turn their attention back to the ambush.
Kunais flew, the Foot Bots drew their weapons turning their hands into buzzsaws. Cutting down any who stood in their way, those not able to match their speed where torn down. While others put up a fight. While everyone around the area focused on the fight, not at all aware of what was happening behind them. So focused upon the diversion not see the truth.
Tigerclaw and Sasuke jump back just in time from your sudden attack upon them, using the opportunity to with their little standoff as an opening. Mustering up your energy you managed to create a blast separating the three of you. Both Sasuke and Tigerclaw being quick jumped out the way just in time. Your sudden move caught them a bit of a surprise, waiting for the thick dust caused by your attack to settle. Sasuke's eyes dart for any sign of you, knowing full well there was no way you could escape, he cut off that luxury with his kunai. So, you where not going anywhere.
Standing next to him, Shredder's Tool with her blade drawn awaiting his command on what she should.
A blast like that, Tigerclaw knew would draw attention growling, you where becoming a nuisance right now. The last thing either of them needed, quickly taking out his gun he fires at the area he knew you where in. Shots fired, only for them ricochet off something. Stopping, the dust clears and there you where in center with spherical shield around you.
Sasuke eyes narrow observantly, he begins to draw his blade just Karin comes over to him."Sasuke, we have to hurry."she alerts him."I sense- Sasuke!"she yells after him.
Ignoring her, the dark teen draws his blade charging it up with his own electricity activating his eyes that pierced into your fearful ones. Raising his blade, he comes down, in one quick swift movement. Amazing even Tigerclaw, but scaring you. The blade slices through your shield, your eyes grow wide at the sharp tip object surrounded by electricity, stopping just inches from your nose.
Sasuke draws his blade, raising it again adding more chakra to it, knowing what he was about to do next, reacting you quickly putting a hand out while the other one tried to unlodge the deep kunai in your knee, to seal the slit he made back up and push your energy back towards him. When his blade hit the next time, it didn't to do much damage, but he didn't stop. Seeing what you where doing, he changes his tactic.
While you divided your focus between keeping your shield up and trying to pry the kunai out, something cold froze you. It was like death's boney hands wrapped around your throat, forcing you turn around and look at him. Slowly you look up eyes full of overwhelming fear, that few could make you feel.
Sasuke's eyes, his red eyes stare hard into yours there was nothing in them. Nothing at all, but the darkness you had to endure for the beginning of your life. A place you dreaded to go back to, that had its hold over you from Sasuke's glare. Shadows seem to crept over you slowly dragging you down in the dark abyss, wanting to scream but, darkness covered your mouth preventing you from doing so. Feeling yourself being swallowed up, Tigerclaw watched on silently praising the boy, only one man he knew could look at someone like that and cast out everything good to them. Bringing them to look upon despair as their new home and submit to their will. Shredder, the man himself was embodiment of evil, seem to now have a rival with Sasuke.
Sasuke's eyes never left you, and before you knew it dark flames some how ignited around your shield in a blaze. These flames where cold and empty, sending a chill down your spine increasing your fear at them. Feeling suffocated now, you look at the flames scared as they continued to cover your shield in its darkness swallowing you up.
You wanted to scream, you needed too. But nothing came out beginning to panic inside, inclosed places something you never liked. Having a mind of its own, your hand slowly reached out touching the side of your shield, hearing the tips of your fingers sizzle as they burned from the brief touch, painfully you jerk it back holding it. This was just impossible? Something like this shouldn't hurt you...there was just no way. Hearing something sound like it was cracking and smelling like something was burning, looking back at your shield his black flames where breaking through. Quickly adding more energy only for it melt away, feeling the heat start to rise inside like an oven.
Mind racing on what to do...either put down the shield which would end up with the flames devouring you or have his flames smoke you out or be heated up alive. All three did not end well for you, this fear that gripped you, like nothing before. Everything was closing in, you couldn't get up and move your knees where sore and in pain they bled out, and you couldn't get out the kunai. Nothing but a sitting duck waiting to be devoured by their preditor. Whimpering silently, crying out for your sister in your mind...feel so alone as the flames full cover you blocking any light from coming.
"...Sister..."you silently cry."...Papa...April...help me...someone...help me...I don't like the darkness..."Your head begins to drop in defeat and submission.
This was the end, it was true what they said...life was very short but it was too short for you. What could you remember now? There wasn't much really...your eyes start to close.
"May!"a voice echos. It comes again but much louder, shooting your eyes open just as someone lands down infront of you. Before you had time to look at them, someone comes and scoops you up in movement and takes off into the trees. With a purser trailing them.
Their hold you tightens."Hold on."Quickly they turn around taking out a kunai, feeling their arm leave around you reacting quickly wrapping your arms around their neck. Even with just one hand their hold on you was firm. With their kunai they managed to deflect the incoming objects with ease, then throw their kunai at them. Which they easily deflect.
Before you could get a good look at the assailant, your rescuer drops down just before they meet the blade of the person. This almost gave you whiplash, your grip on them became tighter. They land down just fine and and the attacker lands just seconds after them. Surprised by this, only able to stay on the defenses as the attacker draws their blade attempting to land a strike upon them.
But your rescuer was to quick, everything was moving around so fast like a blur one thing you managed to make out was that figured out who's hold you where in.
Lee.
The young man held onto you with one strong arm, being careful not to drop you. While with the rest of himself engaged the person, he made sure to give himself and other distance, while trying to find an opening. Finding one, Lee takes it and lands a strike hitting them back hard, not waiting to see if they where down he takes off with you.
Giving himself distance. Remembering you he acknowledges you."Do not worry May. You are safe now."he smiles at you.
Stun. Just stun but happy to see him."...Lee..."
Pushing off on another branch when something like a flamed buzzsaw comes out of nowhere and gets him on the side of this thigh. Feeling the pain, he drops down with you. Quickly turning you around to take the impact, tucking your head in him. Both of you waiting for impact, when something wrapped around your ankle yanking you away from him. Before he could tighten his grip, you slipped right out.
"Lee!"you cry for him.
"May!"he cries back with his arms reached out to you, quickly pushing back his pain he looks around twisting in the air, he gets ready to land. When...
Sand shoot out catching Lee, then shoots towards you wrapping around you gently, next thing Hinata comes and using with her fist surrounded by chakra in the shape of a lions head. She breaks the chain that was holding you, the goes to attack the assailant. Who moves out the way, behind her Kankuro helps her with his puppet. Getting them on the run, the sand brings you and Lee back down safely.
"Thank you, Gaara."Lee address the Kazekage and stands up.
Before you could say anything Temari gets down to your level."May!"her tight with relief and concern, your eyes fill with guilt. Before you could say anything pain over swept you just as Naruto, Tenten, Sakura and Ino make onto the scene.
Grabbing your knees, all eyes look down and see the lodged kunais in your knees. Sakura and Ino waste no time and hurry over to you."May!"they look over observing it, without thinking really Sakura grabs hold of it to take it out ignoring being slightly electrocuted, she barely moves, but it was enough to get a painful reaction from you, though you shut your mouth to muffle your screams, it showed upon your face.
Quickly Sakura draws her hand back."I'm sorry, May."she apologizes to you. Looking to Ino concerned and unsure."..."Both at a stand still.
Anger rushed over Temari, along the other two males. Unclipping her fan, she was ready to take her revenge. Hearing the fight still happening with Hinata, Kankuro and the attacker.
"..."the Sunagakure konuinchi's brow furrowed deeply, her eyes trying to lock upon her target. Seeing it, she draws back her fan and unleashes her jutsu.
"We have to move her."Ino informs Sakura who nods in agreement.
"Yeah, I know."she goes over to one side of you while Ino on the other. Both them start to host you up."Stand up, Ma-May!"they get you up on your feet only for you back down.
"What's wrong?"Naruto asks.
Sakura looks you over."...I-I c-can't...m-move."you tell them through sharp breaths of pain."...I-it's...an..EM-P..."
"Wh...?"Ino looks at you confused, though she wanted an answer, you needed to be taken care of right now."We'll figure that later, we need to get you out of here!"
"Take her."Gaara tells them."Lee, take May and get out of here..."his was calm but was as cold as ice."We'll hold them off."
"Yes, of course."Lee goes over and carefully scoops you up. Him just moving you added more to the pain."I am sorry May. Forgive me."he turns to Sakura and Ino."I will follow you."
Both girls stand up."Alright, this way."Sakura goes with Ino behind her and Lee following.
"Temari, go with them."Gaara tells her.
"This is m-"she protest stopping when she sees the angered look upon his face, not dare to question him folding back her fan she does as she was told.
Naruto watches her go, seeing there was good distance between them, he turns back standing next to Gaara."Their going to pay, for what they did to May."he growls, pounding his fist into his hand.
"...Yes, they will."Gaara agrees, just as they both get ready Tigerclaw drops down right infront of them. Taking out both his guns. He snarls at them.
Pointing his weapons."You're not going anywhere..."
