To say the least, Hasaya and Kikushi's mission had gone perfectly. The two had complemented each other perfectly in battle, predicting each other's moves, and when the battle was over, they agreed that their temporary truce was no longer temporary.

"Hey…you did good…" Hasaya panted, weary from the long battle against the leaf village shinobi.

"Thanks…" Kikushi replied. The two gathered their things from the hiding spot they had used while ambushing the ninja and walked off.

"Hello? Are you even listening Hasaya?" Kagami's voice broke his reminiscent trance. "Honestly, you're worse than Yol!" At those words, everyone looked over at Yol, eating a bowl of instant ramen next to a generator powered mini stove.

"What? I got hungry." He simply said, shrugging, and went back to his bowl.

"Okay, maybe that was an understatement, but you are still pretty bad."

Hasaya ignored Kagami's rant, noticing something that he hoped was what he thought, and walked past her to the oasis. They were in the middle of the desert, pretty much completely lost, and had run out of water a long time ago. This small pool of water was a gift from above. Everyone else went over and got a drink, except Yol, who had his fill of drink when he drank the water left over from his Ramen.

"I think all this team needed was a refreshing drink to get their heads together." Hasaya said when they had gotten their fill, the team collectively murmuring in agreement.

"Let's get moving then!" Yol stated, very out of character.

Hasaya stared at him for a moment, and was glad that Yol was finally getting into the spirit of things. He picked up his stuff and followed Yol in the direction of the sand village. The rest of the team followed as well.

They continued walking for about an hour until Hasaya saw the shape of the Sand Village walls in the distance. He grew excited and pointed it out to everybody. They all cheered, as this had been an unusually long mission. They had been gone for several days and they desperately wished to arrive home.

"C'mon guys! It's just up ahead!" he shouted, and they all ran full speed behind Hasaya. Then he stopped. He knelt down and felt the sand beneath his feet. Then realization hit him. "Guys mov..!" was all he got out before the ground opened up and swallowed them up.

"Please guys. I know we can get through this. Just stay strong." were Hasaya's last thoughts as his mind fell deeper into the darkness.
