Killers on the loose

here are they now?

on my side or yours ?
so close I can feel their foul stench

(P.O.V. Narrator)

The trees breathed and sighed in the distance. The town's previous talk and ruckus was now quiet and still. Most of the residents dreamed in the hushed lull of the night. All except those that lingered on roof tops. In the distance the moon gaze scanned the city of Sand. His glare of light was being covered frequently by clouds that wandered from the eastern sky. Gaara's skin glowed in the light from the sun of the night.

Sleep ...how is that they all can sleep ..only to wake up and live the rest of their pitiful lives. He questioned this every night and every night came no answer. He looked over lines of the houses and buildings. The sand in the ground usually told him of the movement on the floors of the slumbering villagers. But tonight the back of the silence of the town, the sand near the trees screamed of movement and lots of feet. He was in the longest time was caught off guard but invasions weren't uncommon. He disappeared into sand. Closer to the movement Gaara's form rose from the top of a build were he could over look. There is only one person but the sand said there was more than one. The sand repeated it message over and over; lots of feet, lots of feet.

From the center of the open ground near the play ground something stood. It's hair went to the center of its back. From near its head the hair was a dark color of green, more nearer to the shoulders it fade to a mahogany color. It's skin was lightly tanned. It nails where painted green.

It wore short sleeved shirt of an ocean blue and a light brown skin tight leggings. On the ground around it kakra scragged out in odd designs twitching ever so. It looked toward the trees, then towards the sky. As it looked towards the city Gaara could see its angelic face. From beneath its green to brown eyebrows it scanned. The eyes were a golden color near the center. Dark lines streamed from the edges. From the way it stood Gaara understood it was a she.

Suddenly she gave out a howl. It was like no other for it was the sound of the breeze of leaves in a storm. In the distance there was a reply just as fierce. Thumping came towards her stopping at the edge of forest. A howl stirred from where it ended. Something shifted with in tree line. It had eyes the color of a fearful red, that almost bleed. It had a snarl plastered across its muzzle, sharp and jagged teeth glinted with drool as an acid stench rose from it's mouth. An arched back that was lined spikes and fur that seemed wet and sticking at all angles. Claws longer than his hand, pawed and slashed the ground with rage hoping to tear and shred flesh with joy. As a tail that didn't twitch but rather slitter in the air with a pike at the end, made deep groves with in the trees that it stuck. It shook its matted slick coat as it did shimmers of blue and steel told only of the color. At the ends of the hair on it's face as well as paws dark and crusted blood stain the shaded the rest of its mane. The beast sounded out the howl again so that it shook the trees midst its massive muscular frame.

A normal person would have run, but the girl only smiled and beckoned the monster with sweet cooing. The immense animal suddenly bounded towards her. Nearly landing on her it sat playfully a foot from her feet. A sicking blue tongue lolled from the side of its mouth. It's long ears covered in hair were almost drooled on in the process. She leaned down and petted it affectionately. She said with a tone that sounded as a breeze but loud enough to be words,"Oh my sweet baby mama missed you, yes she did." The creature whine sounded more like a squeal of nails on a chalk board. " Yes my precious you can go kill them. Any thing for my Yurikata." The Yurikata grinned.

The sand told Gaara that the other people there were frighten. What other people; it is only her and that thing?

Suddenly it bounded towards the far side of it's master. The air splashed colorfully with blood as claws teared to reveal a body. It then sinked fangs into the prey pulling out the collar bone. With out haste to finish the victim off it went to another and tore out this ones ribs. The other invisible people came into view realizing that the Yurikata saw them no matter what. Almost one hundred and thirty ran for the girl.

" I hardly think it is fair that they sent you all only to die. Seeing as how I out number you all.", she said with that voice but now so that it echoed only there. For as she spoke this a dark inky green kakra oozed from her skin and rose from the ground that they were standing on. The legion of soldiers thrashed as it crawled up there legs.

Her kakra was leaking into the sand the whole time...she made it so common...instead of difficult...He wasn't lying to me when he said this would be either a bad victory or an on slaughter. Though a man from the swings of the playground. The Yurikata had on take upon the task of mangling the helpless that were trapped. She walked toward the pounder.

With a smirk in her flowing voice she said in a mockingly tone. "I thought he would send a feeble leader and teacher such as you first."

Narrowing his dark purple eyes. But then since we were banished we weren't taught the same way as your town...taught by you... He raised his head to glare at her. The words he spoke to her were different from the one spoken in the villages. " Yues hiwsed qued...nebden no sama...ladden..tu no ma jen"

(A.N. Sorry for the mood killing but I will translate what he said and the rest of what they are speaking back and forth but remember Gaara has no clue what is being said. What language it is and all WILL BE EXPLAINED LATER! So no pouting now.)

What does he mean that Kati is hunting for my head and that he is getting tried of chasing. That stupid stream never get tired only irritate. Was the round house thought. She folded her arms across her chest. " So you are telling that he is sent you on this failure of a mission...How pathetic of you. And your last request is that I fight you with my toy? Don't make me laugh. The real reason behind it so that if you by a miracle win you have a present for that ass hole. I think not."

He rapidly made odd hand signs , that sent her the air and pinned her to a pole. "Suffocate bitch for your undermining my leader." With that he slowly began removing the air around her.

Gaara's head rung with screams from the sand. Help friend Help friend. Gaara clutching his head roared back. But we don't know her! She cant be my friend. The demon rung in. Thats because no one wants to be the friend of monster. But the sand refused and kept pleading.

Then we will have to grow again. With that a massive tree rose from behind the swing set. It had sharp large hideous branches dropping blood from an unknown source. If one looked closely enough one could see bits of bones line the trunk. With dark wood that gave off a stench as it pulled its bramble of roots from the ground. It groan being awaken from years of being dead. The man near the gym stared at with eyes the size of disks in horror. Then turned to her, to see a leaf clasping her face to give her air. "There is no way that you could have summoned a Corpse Tree! They never grow outside home. "

She changed her language back to Japanese as the tree grabbed him as sliced him with its razor fingers. " Die with your hopeless and dream of success of killing me ...for you are like other the failures." The ghastly monstrosity finish crushing him in its grasp sending dark blood dripping down its sides.

The demon hooted and made cat calls loudly in Gaara's head. YEA SEE SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO KILL ! ...Why didn't I get sent to someone like that?! MAN THAT WAS AWESOME!!

In a darker tone she called out , "Yurikata pretty it is time for you to go home for the night k?" The pet let out a howl as it did it unraveled as is it was yarn. The ground covered in kakra touched the trees exposed roots. It sucked up the carcasses of the fallen and grew with it's new food. After this she merely nodded and it disintegrate back to sand. Then she blink out of Gaara's sight. Gaara felt her behind him.

" In isn't nice to spy. Except this is your home town. I'm sorry that I fought them here for I have no right to. Unless you like little kids being more afraid; the trees steps aren't going to go away. Thats if the wind can get sand to cover the deep holes. " Was the cool reply with a light smirk in it. She sat down next to him. The breeze rippled her hair. He could see something pale going now from her ears towards her hands. An odd sound rose from there. It was some what sweet and calming. Her fingers moved slightly and it became more of a fast pace. But still some how slow. A sweet berry like smell drifted from her lips as she sighed. Why is she sitting here like she wants to. Was Gaara's thoughts.

She looked over the land as if it was a a peaceful place instead of a recent battle ground. She then turned to look at Gaara with those piercing eyes. " We can wonder what it is most people want and what we can get from it. Or we can wonder what we can do to make people want what we wonder and have them see that what we wonder is what we all can get something from." As she said this her the dark lines began to go back to the edges. The last breath of her words hung in the air. She slowly leaned towards him till her face was inches from his face. These changing eyes stared within him as if searching for tells of his life or trying to reading his thoughts. All the while holding his gaze without turning away. " Hmmm. Such remorse from others who had feared, leaves lines there... How rude of me I have taken your space with out permission. " She sat back down and stared at her hands. " It is late for me to be stay here, but to early to rest. But none the less you rather I not be here... So I will take my leave. " She rose to stand and turned away towards the town. She said over her shoulder, " But then it wont be the last time I see you now will it." Her image flickered and disappeared.

Gaara was left to his thoughts of curiously and bemusement. What the hell just happen here? Who the hell was that ? ..What THE FUCK DOES SHE MEAN IT WONT BE THE LAST TIME SHE WILL SEE ME?!? Neither of them could figure out the answers. It was this now that wonder instead of why others can sleep through such nights.
