Chapter 3: New Enemies
It took only a split second for the puddles of water to give away there true identity. A form appeared from all surrounding puddles, as a liquid bubble raised from its slumber, soon showing each true face. Aliyah's eyes widened, as she dared to look.
"Um, Two...five...seven...ten...twelve..." Counted Zaku, "Not bad, I got the four on the left."
He revealed his palm jutsu as a blast of wind stuck his desired four. He grinned as he moved towards one, pulling out a kunais. The water ninja stood, summoning a jutsu, "Hidden mist jutsu," he spoke, as a thick patch of mist covered the ground and blinded there eye sight.
"Damn..." Zaku cursed, as his black eyes danced from one side of his eye to the other.
Aliyah moved towards the right when four ninjas were in sight, huddled together in a circle. "This is way to easy." She mumbled to herself, as she body disolved into shadows.
"Do you see them?" Asked one ninja.
"Fuck no! How you suppose to see anything in this!" The second growled loudly.
"Shut-up!" The fourth hissed, "I though I seen something."
The shadow entered in the center of the circle, as it quietly raised, Aliyah clutched a kunais tightly in her grasp. She smirked as her emerald green eyes gazed at the back of her enemies head. 'How shall I finish them off...' She wrapped her hand tightly against the first ninja's mouth, he froze. She smirked, as she kicked of the ground taking the mist village ninja with her.
"What was that!" Asked the second ninja in a panicky voice, "Kage...Kage!" He yelled as he glanced around for his comrade body.
"Shut-up Zamorik!" Growled the fourth, "He's gone too bad. Right now we have to worry about us, not him. If that ninja got him so easily, we must make sure they don't get us, got it."
"Right!" The two replied together. Their fixed faces looked in all directions as there shoulders touched.
The sand flowed around Gaara's feet as his eyes stared at four forms standing in the center of the battles taking place on both sides. He watched as the forms moved towards him at a slow pace, their faces carried a smug look.
"Ah, is that who I think it is?" Asked one Ninja, his headband sideways on his head, as his black hair was short and spiked. His eyes were a misty gray and carried no life in them, with two vertical lines extending from each eye, colored black.
"I do believe it is, no wonder the demon brothers were too scared to take on this job." The other replied. His head band was wrapped around the top of his left arm. He had crimson red eyes, His hair long, and jet black as it flowed down around his face, bangs covered his hardened eyes.
Gaara's eyes narrowed, as he watched the two approach him followed by two weaker mist ninja's. The short haired ninja made a motion with his fingers for the two ninja behind to attack. Dirty glares were exchanged as they summoned jutsu.
"Water element, water wave jutsu!" The one on the far left yelled as a huge wave gathered out of nowhere moving quickly towards Gaara, who remained to be still.
The sand crept forward as Gaara began the hand signals for sand Avalanche. The sand seemed to multiply as it soon grew large attacking the large form a water. The two ninjutsu's collided the sand soon turning into a thick layer of mud, which absorbed the water attack. Placing his hands into a familiar signal, sand flew from the ground landing on the two attacking ninja's. Taking his fist he closed it as the ninja's were crushed to breath no more.
Zaku's eyes quickly scanned the area. Finally catching a shadow he moved towards it. Placing his hands underground the sound waves shifted the earth moving quickly towards the ninja, shoving him several feet into the air. Pulling out his dirt covered hands, he raced towards him, pulling out a kunai. Seeing his enemy he leaped off the ground shoving his kunai deep into the stomach of the ninja, letting his half dying body fall to the ground. "Time to finish you." He placed his fingers in a ninjutsu style as his enemy is soon left breathless. "Three more to go." He smirked, as his eyes narrowed.
Aliyah quickly finishing off her four. The last ninja hung over Gaara's battle in a tree where she sat quietly. The mist couldn't reach that high which made it easier for her to see everything. Zaku quickly finished off two more with one more to go, and only the two ninja's which spoke remained alive in Gaara's group to destroy. "Well that was fun." She whispered to herself.
"Onisaken," The short haired ninja began, "It seems we have underestimated this group of ninja. They are indeed strong, but this one isn't the one were after."
"I figured that much, unless this guy's gay, he's not the girl." He scanned the surrounding area. "Oh, well. Lets just kill this guy and get this part of the mission over with."
Onisaken drew a fair amount of Shurikens, each placed carefully between his fingers. He took a step forward before throwing them towards Gaara. A single Kunai flew from nowhere, scattering the attacking Shurikens to the ground where they lay quiet. A mist ninja's dead body fell from the sky, as a female voice hissed, "Maybe you should take better care of your members. You might have survived longer." She leaped from her current position in the large tree, onto the dusty, light brown covered dirt, staring her enemies down.
"Are you threatening me?" Onisaken questioned, His eyes glued to the mangled dead body.
His arms are slashed open, obviously caused from some sort of Justu, Onisaken examined, his chest gear is completely covered with blood, and a used kunai is deep in his chest. His legs seemed to have suffered most of the damage, his pants seemed to have been...burned at least near the edges of the bottom. His eyes looked closely at the deceased body.
He looked back up at her a morbid smile plastered to his face, "I hope you can back up your statement. It looks to me that we are still very much alive."
Aliyah growled to herself, "Not for long."
Gaara could do nothing but stare at the body laying on that ground, as the words from the enemies sunk in deeply. They said about a girl...they couldn't possible mean...yes...they do...but why? He asked himself, his sky blue eyes daring to glance at the warrior next to him.
Onisaken quickly placed his hands in a signal formation, summoning his most powerful jutsu. "This will all be over in a few seconds. At least...for one of you!" He pushed himself off the ground, his right hand glowing a light blue. He smirked, charging towards Aliyah.
Aliyahs eyes went white, as black shadows formed around her hands. Cracking her fingers she watched as he came closer, and closer towards her. "Wait...wheres the second ninja?" She spoke low, not knowing Gaara heard. Her eyes quickly catching Onisaken's. His eyes weren't on her...but Gaara.
