------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Flashback---------------------------
I suddenly felt a wave of cold hit my back. I spun around to face the hallway and saw the air about fifty feet away start to move.
Sasuke grabbed my shoulder, "I said why is she ..." He had seen the moving air as well.
"What the hell is that?"
As we all watched the air twisted and contorted until it solidified in the form of a massive mountain lion. It smiled evilly at us and spoke in a deep purring voice.
"I'm here for Sakura."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I pushed my way through circle of boy, placing myself between the lion and Sakura.
"You can't have her"
You cannot have her Shukaku we said simultaniously.
It paced back and forth to the juncture where the hallways met, its massive body needing the extra space. The mountain lion was eye level with my 5'5'' tall stature and it had to be over 6' long, its long tail twitching as it moved. It examined me with its burning orange eyes, as if trying to decide if it was worth the effort to respond to my challenge.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Sakura struggle to untangle herself from the protective arms of the other boys.
"What do you want with me?" she said defiantly, her voice still rough and croaky from her weeping.
"Be quiet Sakura," I said sharply, my eyes still trained on the pacing cat.
"But-"
"Please Sakura," I said, my voice strained, "just trust me."
"...ok"
"Very wise Gaara no Subaku."
I blinked in surprise, the lion knew my name?
It smiled again, "Oh yes Agent Subaku, I know who you are, though I don't know much else. You're a very well protected secret within the Defenders Dimension. However," he said. "From the very little I did manage to unearth it appears that you are one of the elite warriors of your dimension."
The lion paused, tilting it's head thoughtfully. "I'm actually surprised to see you here Agent Subaku." It said, pronouncing my title with dripping sarcasm, "I underestimated those fools in your research department; I never guessed that they would realize how important the girl is. That of course, was my oversight."
"Now," the lion said, stopping mid pace and settling into a crouch, "I'll be taking Sakura."
Fire coursed through my limbs as my chakra rose up in rage. I focused the fire into my hands and a long spear with claw like blades glowed in my hands. The spear solidified into sand colored stone and I held it up, poised to strike.
"Go to hell."
The mountain lion let out a purring chuckle, "This should be fun."
And then...he sprang
I spun the spear in my hands and bashed he butt of the weapon into the side of the lions head as it hurtled toward me. It flew to the side, crashing into the wall and rolling back onto it's feet before jumping at me again.
I thrust forward with my spear and the lion twisted to the side as it tried to avoid my blade.
As it landed I swept my spear down and the outer blade sliced shallowly into the cat's shoulder.
The lion screamed in fury and ran towards me. I thrust me spear forward and it swerved away to avoid the blades.
And then I was yanked to the ground.
As the cat had passed it's tail had wrapped around my ankle and pulled my feet out from underneath me and before I could stand up the lion was on top of me, it's paws pinning my shoulders to the ground.
"Game over Agent Subaka"
"No!!! Don't hurt him!!"
The lion whipped it's head to the side and it's mouth curled into an evil smile. I strained to see past its paws but all I could see was a flash of pink running at the lion and I.
Oh god no
The lion was up off of me and I sprang to me feet looking around. In that instant I saw and processed everything. The lion was bounding towards Sakura who had escaped the boys who were now chasing after her, terror on their faces as they realized they could never make it in time to save her.
Something happened to me and I felt a power surge through my body, different than any I had ever felt before, driving me forward, over taking the lion by just an instant and shoving Sakura out of the way of the lions reach.
And then there was pain, searing across my shoulder and down my back.
"Gaara!!"
From where I lay I saw Sakura freeze, staring at me in horror and I struggled to get up, to tell Sakura to run away but I couldn't move, I couldn't breathe.
The lion began to laugh, "You protector's fallen Sakura, come with me quietly and I won't have to hurt the others."
Sakura squeezed her eyes shut and her face twisted as if she was trying not to explode. As I watched the air around her started blow and her hair whipped around her face. The wind blew faster and faster until she was surrounded by a whirlwind and the lion the boys and I all watched in shock and amazement as the green flames I recognized as her chakra began to lick out of her skin, enveloping her body in transparent emerald fire.
Her eyes snapped open and I stared at them. They weren't the eyes that I had come to know, they were glowing orbs that overwhelmed her face and she stared at the lion with a rage in her eyes that I had never dreamed her capable of.
She stepped in front of me and held her hand out to the lion. In her hand a flaming bolt grew, a barely contained branch of pure destructive energy.
The lions eyes widened and it took a step back.
Sakura spoke and her voice was rough and feral.
"Don't touch them."
The lion stepped forward again, "Who's going to stop me?"
She took another step forward, "Me."
With a growl the lion leaped forward and Sakura screamed in rage as she threw her bolt.
The bolt hit the lion straight in the eye and it screamed in pain as the bolt sank into it's skin and absorbed into it's face. The cat reared back and then fell forward, disappearing in a haze of smoke.
Sakura turned back to me, still burning and knelt by my side. She reached out her hands and rested them softly on my back, her fire flowing out onto my skin. I felt the pain recede until it had gone completely and I sat up looking into her still glowing eyes.
I saw her eyes slid shut and for a moment she wavered there, as if she was fighting to stay awake before she fell sideways, the fire around her flickering out.
I caught her as she fell and held her gently in my arms. Her face was peaceful now and she nestled her face into me, smiling in her sleep.
"What the hell is going on."
I looked up to see all five boys standing around me, their faces a mix of anger fear and worry.
Sasuke crouched down next to me and glared into my eyes. "Tell me what the fuck is going on Gaara."
"Alright," I sighed, there was no way I could lie my way out of this one, "I'll tell you."
