"What do you mean you can't!! Do you want to die!! Put me down!!"

Sierra removed another kunai, this time it was lodged in her ribs. Blood squirted out of the deep wound and just by the way it felt, Sierra knew that it will need stitches, that is, unless the three of them die out here, then there won't be any need for stitches.

With one quick jump, Sierra disappeared and reappeared on a large tree branch farther into the forest, Hikaru in her arms. She picked up the dog when she infused chakra in the soles of her feet to make her speed triple. But she could feel her strength wearing thin. If she continued to use her speed she won't be of much use to anyone.

"Princess.The people who are attacking us, are your chuunin body guards! Why did your father change them!?!"

The princess gasped and she stuttered, "H-he didn't!"

"Then why don't you have the ones from the last few days!?"

"I-I don't know! I-I left with them and then they disappeared like before! I-I thought that they were goingto go o-on ahead!"

Sierra's eyes widened and she took the princess off her back. "They must've been attacked before they reached the gates! Why didn't I know that!" Hikaru jumped out of her arms and threw his nose in the air. Hikaru caught scent of someone coming towards them. He growled lowly and bared his teeth, a sure sign to Sierra, enough to have her whip out another kunai. "Get behind me princess!And what ever happens, don't move!" The princess could only nod and hold onto Sierra's sleeve, afraid that she'd fall off the tree.

"Those Chuunin we took care of were to easy. Apparently the king hasn't anticipated an attack from anyone with Konoha nins around."

"To bad that the Konoha village will be the reason the Mist lost a valueable royalty."

Voices echoed off the trees and Hikaru barked, just as a blur shot in front of Sierra, a swift kick slamming into her stomach. Sierra could feel her rib cage creek from the force inside of her and blood coughed out of her mouth as she flew backwards into the tree.

"SIERRA!!"

Hikaru launched himself at the blur that showed up behind the princess and the princess screamed as blood sprayed in front of her. Sierra stood in front of her, a kunai lodged into her collarbone. It wold've been a fatal wound inflicted into the back of the princess' head if Sierra didn't take the hit for her.

Hikaru bit hard into the neck of the man in back of the princess and the man let out a gurgled yell, scratching at Hiaru's jaws, but the pup wasn't letting go. "Don't LET GO HIKARU!" Sierra yelled and the pup's loud growl bacame even louder, biting more into the man's juglar. The man let go of the kunai that was in Sierra's collar, his face twisting in pure horror as blood sprayed down the front of the shirt. He stumbled backwards with a yell and just as his foot fell off the branch, Hikaru released his hold, kicking off the man's chest.

The princess screamed again as Sierra doubled over from the amount of blood lost on her wound and she let out a long grunt. Hikaru yipped, running over to his fallen master and the princess screamed, "Sierra!!!!!"

It hurt, that much Sierra would admit and the wound hit the muscle in her left arm, tearing it.She couldn't feel her left arm and the kunai that she held in it slipped out of her hand. She fought to keep her world from spinning. She can't faint on the princess or the both of them would die. From what she saw a couple of minutes ago, there were three more men somewhere hidden in the trees. She struggled to get to her feet and the princess gasped, grabbing ahold on the Genin's shoulders to steady her. "What do you think your doing!!"

"Going to protect you..."

"That's not what your supposed to do!! It's not your duty!"

"It is, when your protecting a friend."

The princess' hands fell from Sierra's shoulders and her eyes widened. A smile came across Sierra's lips and she glanced down at her puppy, noticing the other man's blood dripping from his jaws. "Good boy." She whispered, before she spun around and held the kunai in her right hand close to her chest. Hikaru jumped in front of her, his teeth bared and the back of his neck hairs raised up. It made him look like a rabid animal with the blood dripping from his jaws to top it all off.

"I will protect you, at the cost of my own life." She growled, remebering the same exact words that Kakashi-sensai used when they went on their first huge mission. Hikaru's growl grew louder and reading that as a sign another one was approaching, Sierra saw the blur before it reached her. She swerved to the left and with all her might, she twirled around, roundhousing the blur in a second. The action caused for her wounds to splurt out blood, but her foot hit the mark, slamming into one of the attackers stomach, sending him flying into a nearby tree.

"Hikaru!" Sierra yelled, launching into the air. Using only one arm, she launched a dozen kunai's towards the man she kicked, Hikaru being launched with the kunai's also, his teeth bared. The man let out a yell as Hikaru came towards him, before he disappeared. Hikaru whirled around so he kicked off the tree and jumped back towards Sierra. He landed on the branch in front of her and just as his paws touched the wood, a blur appeared in front of the princess, yelling, "You shouldn't leave the one your protecting alone!" The princess screamed and Sierra launched herself towards them just as the man raised a kunai in the air to bring down upon her head. Sierra disappeared and when she reappeared, her good hand reached up to catch the kunai. She felt the metal peirce through her palm and through the back of her hand, but she ignored it, roundhousing the man in the head, enough for his face to slam into the branch. Blood splurted both from the man's face and from Sierra's hand as the girl twisted her body around to perform a axe kick, slamming the man's head back into the branch with so much force that the branch cracked under their feet.

The princess screamed as she started to fall, before Sierra grabbed her hand and disappeared, using her speed again. They reappeared on the next branch over and the princess was released. Hiakaru yipped as a kunai slammed into his side plundging towards the ground three feet below. "HIKARU!" Sierra screamed and launched herself downward, leaving the princess wide open for attack.

Hikaru fell in her good arm, before she jumped back up towards the branch where the princess was standing, having realized her mistake before any harm could harm her. "Hold him!" She yelled, handing the princess her companion, before putting her bloody hand on his head. "Don't let him move. This is going to hurt him alot." The princess looked up at Sierra frightened for a minute before she furrowed her eyebrows in determination, giving a small nod.

"Good boy...this will only hurt for a moment..." Sierra soothed, grabbing the deeply embedded kunai by it's handle. By the look of the way the kunai was embedded into his skin, the hit was intentional. He was protecting her from another kunai attack.His chocolate eyes bored into hers and he whimpered. "I know." She said, before tightening her grip on the kunai. She didn't know who this was going to hurt more, him, or her.

Sierra squeezed her eyes shut and with one swift pull, the kunai tore itself out of Hikaru's skin, eminating a loud yelp from the pup and he started to struggle in the princess' grip. But she held onto the pup tightly and squeezed her eyes shut as tears streamed down her face. It was the first time that she was ever involved in these kinds of things and she was scared. Not just for her life, but for the feeling she had in the pit of her stomach. It was fear. She was scared to lose her first friend all because she was a princess.

"Hold him for me...there are two more men...around here somewhere." The princess didn't open her eyes and Sierra wasn't expecting her to. If she did, she'd see the wounds that she bared up close.

Turning around sharply, she shook her bloody open palm to get some feeling in it otherthen it being numb. The kunai she took peirced all the way through it. It cut open the main artery and was pouring blood from teh room. If she didn't hurry up, she could die from massive blood loose. She was even surprised she was still standing never mind the fact that her clothes were hardly recognizeable under blood. The only thing that seemed not to get anything on, was her face. it was kinda funny in fact.

"You should be dead now by all the wounds you have. But I'm even more amazed by how you and your damn dog managed to take out two of my men!" A blur shot in front of her and another in back of her at the same time. Sierra didn't have a chance to defend herself and at once, she was roundhoused in the head and felt a kunai driven into her side. It would've lodged into her back if she wasn't roundhoused. Her face slammed into the tree branch and the princess screamed, opening her eyes just as Sierra slammed into the tree branch.

One of the men twirled around at the scream and all at once, his hand wrapped around the princess' throat and slammed her into the trunk of the tree. Hikaru fell out of her hands from the impact and her hands wrapped around the man's hands. "Your friend there has given us enough trouble. Now I have the chance to kill you once and for all. Your death will be the soul reason for a war raging between the two villages. We tried to stop the young Genin from killing you, but you were dead before we killed her on the spot. A good story, no?"

The princess gasped for breath and her fingernails scrapped at the man's hand to try to take it off her neck. Her mouth was opened in the form to scream, but nothing came out, being stuck in her windpipe.

"Let her...go!" The man turned his head at the vicious growl and a wicked smile came across his face as he watched Sierra shakily get to her hands and knees using one arm.

"You can't possibly continue fighting with one arm! Are you retarded or something!" Sierra's head was slammed back down into the branch by the same attack that she brought down one of the men, a loud grunt escaping her lungs.

Her body hurt all over and her world spun around her uncontrollably, adding to the lightheadedness. She couldn't give up, not when the princess was in danger. She would show them. Show them that she was worth the effort tio be a ninja. No one was going to call her worthless or look down at her for never amounting to anything. "I...won't...let you ...hurt her...!" She grunted, rising to her hand and knees again, panting heavily. It was taking everything in her power to breath, the blood from her collarbone wound leaking into her lungs from the inside.

The man infront of her started laughing and raised his leg up, going to kick her, when she launched up, grabbing his ankle and with one swift movement, slid onto her back and slamming the bottom of her feet into the back of his leg. She felt the bones of his leg break under her feet and a loud pain filled scream erupted throughout the forest, bouncing off the trees.

Sierra didn't waste her chance to lundge at the man holding the princess by her neck and she collided into him, ripping his hold off the princess. The two was thrown off the branch and they both slammed onto the ground, the wind knocking out of the guy, as Sierra's wounds splurted out with blood, causing her to let out a pain grunt, thrusting her chin in the air.

The princess, who collasped on her hands and knees on the branch, coughed for breath, not believing that she just escaped death for the third time in her life. She looked up when she heard faint growling and saw Hikaru painfully scraping his paws into the tree branch with only three paws. He was trying to fall over the edgeto help his master.

"No...dog...stay, "The princess coughed for more breath, crawling her way over to where the dog was almost over the edge. He would surely die if he fell at this height without the use of all four paws and the princess knew this. Her hands wrapped around the puppy's small body and she brought him close to her chest, looking at where the screaming man still continued to scream, clutching his broken leg. She moved alittle to the side, not wanting to be anywhere near him and suddenly, a blur shot in front of the guy, another man looming over the screaming man. Her eyes widened in horror as blood sprayed from the man, his screaming instantly stopping. Hikaru growled and whined at the same time, pulling weakly on the princess' kimono. She had to get away!

The princess sprang to her feet and ran down to the base of the branch, looking around for somewhere she could go. To her left, there was nothing except for another tree, but the jump was to far for her to reach and to her right was only a small branch that floated feebly in the wind, it being no bigger then the length of her arm.

"Don't think you can get away from me."

She gasped and watched in horror as the man slowly made his way towards her. The way a huge smile played across his face, he knew she had no where to run. The princess clutched Hikaru to her chest as if to protect him from harm and she could only watch as he came closer and closer to her. She could only watch helplessly with large terrified eyes, when suddenly, Hikaru launched himself out of her arms. The man let out a confused yell as Hikaru's jaws latched onto his juglar and the princess, narrowed her eyes, before she grabbed the branch next to her. Just as she thought, the branch was easy to break off and with one sharp tug, it broke, sending her stumbling backwards, landing on her butt. She quickly scrambled to her feet and yelled, " BASTARD!!" swinging the branch behind her. Hikaru saw the branch coming towards the man and quickly allowed himself to be thrown off by the man just before the branch snapped across the man's face. The force of the branch hitting his face, was so much that the branch snapped in half and the man was thrown off the branch, with a yell.

The princess watched as the man plummetted towards the ground and stood still, only able to breath hard. She still held the broken end of the branch and it slowly dawned on her that she just defended herself. The branch slipped from her fingers and she collasped on her knees, not taking them off the man on the ground. She did it on her own. But she didn't like the terrified feeling that it left her with.

Sierra fought for breath as she laid still her chin still in the air, since she found it easy to breathe that way. The man besides her also fought for breath, but he quickly recovered, his eyes widening with anger, towards the in pain Genin. She could feel the anger coming out of him, but her body was done, and she knew it. Even if she tried to move, it would be useless. Her right arm was unmovable and her hand was in way to much pain to even twitch. Nevermind the fact that it was spewing out her blood. She sent out a silent prat for someone to save the princess, but part of her knew it would fall on deaf ears.

"PIERCING FANG!!!!!"

Sierra's eyes widened as two huge tornados came towards the man looming over her that instant and the man's scream echoed in her ears.

"SIERRA-CHAN!" Sierra moved her eyes to the side and she thanked anyone who could hear her up there as she saw the rest of team eight running towards her. She smirked when she realized Hinata didn't stutter for the first time when she called her name. Leaving the rest of it up to team eight, she closed her eyes and fell into the unconciousness that she was desperately trying to fight while the princess was in trouble.

Soooo...now that my crazy moment has subsided for now, I can't believe I wrote two whole chapters in one day! You should all be thankful since I usually take a week to complete just one. Send me love and I'm too tired to write anymore so...you know what to do..
