Scroll 6, Sand Fall

As the large, sand-covered rock that Barokendo had hurled, zoomed through the air; the sand-anchored group thought things couldn't get any worse. Unfortunately for them; disconnected reality was something a Twisted ninja specialized in; especially James. Just as the Sand village began to edge into sight, a nearby cloud seemed to just disappear, evaporating until there was nothing to cover what waited in ambush.

An eye, as big around as several people and a quarter the size of the rock on which they stood, was floating there. It was not the size of the eye or placement, that was alarming and strange; but the fact that where most eyes had veins, streaks of red through which blood flowed, this eye had green streaks made of vines, and the moment the rock passed by the eye zoomed straight into it and collided with the rock.

The surface of the eye broke, slimy vines getting stretched all across the rock and slapping a few people off of it in the process: a few of them being Yukari, Shozaku and Joma. Shozaku was flung off into the distance, but Joma latched on to the eye, and his entire body began to glow.

So much chakra began to flow from Joma into the strange eye-creature that all could see it, special eyes or not, and it began to mutate further. Originally, the ninjutsu eyeball was meant to capture or eliminate. But with everything Joma was putting into it, it grew too strong. The Eye began to thrash a few of its vines about, knocking off a few of the Sand nin; as well as Yamira.

Further still Joma pumped it, until it finally became too strong to merely hold on to the rock. With a great cracking noise, the rock was split and crushed into pieces. The sand that had anchored most onto it dissipated, and the various chunks of rock that held different groups flew off in multiple directions.

Some flew off in pairs, some flew off alone. If anyone was watching the eye, it would float there, clutching Joma in its vines as the Wheel Nin continued to stuff it full of chakra. The last thing they would see of them before any zoomed out of sight; was a gigantic burst of blood in the air as though something had popped.

Then, there was just whistling air; as the broken ninja group went every which way - before whoever landed wherever, onto whatever it was they would crash on.

Hani had been closest to Kankuro and two other Sand nin; they had careened off to the left as the enraged ocular beast killed the flying rock.

Kakashi, Gilligan and Wydra winced as Usagi screamed in consternation as their rock piece went skipping along the canyon's top and into the Village Hidden in the Sand.

Having been shifted around in the anchoring sand; Sheena and Reena landed in the carved out path in the canyon with the rest of the Sand Nin – unfortunately, the only other woman in the welcoming Suna group had taken the fall bad, and broke her neck, dying in the line of duty.

Yukari had been unlucky enough to be skipped to the right of the red-hued wall of rock that surrounded most of Sunagakure; which was the same direction of which the eye-vines had hurled Shozaku.

The outlying attack was bad enough to be noted upon and sentries sending more Sand Ninja jumping into action to follow each of the broken groups of ninja – all Wheel, Sand and Leaf.

Kakashi, Wydra, Usagi and Gilligan arched over the rocky wall and descended. Gilligan latched onto Kakashi, holding close onto him. She closed her eyes tight, getting an almost death-like-grip on the man in her fear-driven state. Although it might not be something Kakashi would take much note of at the moment, it would feel as though Gilligan was wearing a few extra layers of clothing, as if to hide something.

Wydra hung onto Usagi's left arm as they pierced through the air on their downward arch. A large, dark spot would appear in the air, only a flash of a moment before Usagi or Wydra would crash into it. It was nothing malicious or dangerous, but much the opposite as the two felt cushioned by the strange dark substance. It would travel with them, like a black air-bag, acting as a buffer to lessen the fall.

Sheena rolled to a stop, hugging Reena close and forming a large ball of chain so she wouldn't be damaged. Sheena was used to pain, damage and even strange and cruel tortures; but she had become so attached to the dog that she would do whatever to protect the puppy. Unfortunately, she couldn't see where she was going and was already so weak that when she stopped; the chains just collapsed, unable to wrap back around her.

This dropped her to the ground; or rather, it would have if there wasn't one of the male-sand nin there; awake or not, he would find himself with a small and tortured looking little girl on top of him. Her spiked helmet had flown off in the crash, so her frizzy hair was free, and she was still wearing her pants.

But because she was always covered in chains, the kind that tore up any torso wear, the Sand nin would find Sheena shirtless on top of him, her slowly growing and quickly-approaching womanhood body against him as her back was to the rest of the world.

Sheena blinked slowly, gaining consciousness atop the strange-man. She looked around for a moment, reached out and gave Reena a re-assuring pat even though she wasn't as bad off as Sheena was herself, then looked around. Looking down, she realized why it didn't feel like sand underneath her, and immediately freaked out. She didn't have the strength for much though, so she rolled off of him slowly and tried crawling away with a pained look on her face.

Responding ninja, all male, jumped into the scene and analyzed the others. One, Jiyu, looked at Sheena and asked:

"Are you ok there, girl?"

"GET AWAY!" Sheena screamed with a strained voice, her general fear of being alone with men being amplified by how many there were.

The chains rattled weakly, as though attempting to put a force to the will of her words. She got to the end of the chains and found herself unable to crawl any further, her non-chakra boosted body unable to carry the weight all by itself in her state. It didn't help that she'd put Reena on her back. She kept trying to crawl though.

"Hey, its ok, we're here to help!" The unknowing man pressed the issue, stepping towards Sheena. "Things will be ok, really."

Reena barked twice and whimpered as the fur on its left ear was slightly red and sandy. It was merely a scratch, but the puppy was still wounded.

Yamira had been knocked high into the air, stopping with a crash onto one of the higher buildings in the Sand Village. She had come face to neutral face with a turquoise-hued gaze of a very important person. Black-rimmed eyes stared out the hole the woman's body made and narrowed as the male body stood up – as silently as the sand that poured out his back.

Yamira, having been knocked temporarily unconscious by the fall, opened her eyes slowly, groaning as she got to a kneeling position.

"Where…am I?" she said, looking around with half-open eyes as she struggled to stay awake. She was missing the headband, but she was still somehow wearing the earrings with the Sunagakure symbol on them.

"You are in the Kazekage's office building, and I insist you tell me why? You aren't a face I recognize, so what are you doing here?" The red-headed Kazekage's asked evenly. There was a hint of threat in his gaze as the door opened and Baki entered.

"Kazekage-sama! What is…!" Baki exclaimed.

Yamira slowly rose to her feet, wobbling for a few seconds, then stumbling over and putting her hands on a chair to stabilize herself.

"I…my name is…" she paused for a moment with a pained look on her face, wracking her brain to remember anything.

"I…don't know…I don't know what's going on, where I am, who I am, or how I got here. or why everything is so fuzzy…"

"Relax, I've call the Med-Squad here so they'll be able to help you…" Baki muttered as he stepped past the Kazekage and helped Yamira take a seat. "You've got Suna markings on you…and you're…beautiful!"

Behind him, Gaara's left eyebrow quirked in amusement.

Kakashi had held onto Gilligan and managed to even keep a hold on Wydra. Usagi had landed softly whereas the other three had went 'doomph' into the sand on the other side of the entrance canyon.

"HOLY SPIT!" Usagi couldn't verbally say 'shit' because she had been jarred enough to bite her tongue when she just so happened to speak. "What the helth happened!"

The black cloud that had cushioned Usagi's fall took form, eventually shrinking down into the well-covered form of Jake.

"I wish I could answer your question. Unfortunately I could only be here long enough to make sure you were alive and unharmed enough to keep living. There's somewhere else I need to be, and someone I need to deal with. Live on Wheel Woman." Jake said before dissipating into black mist and disappearing into thin air.

Gilligan and Wydra slowly opened their eyes, looking up at Kakashi as they spoke in unison:

"Is everything okay now?"

"Yea…I think so…" the jounin sat up and rubbed the back of his head. This is going to be problematic… Kakashi thought as he took stock of their surroundings. "We're in the Village, but I don't think this is the way we wanted to enter."

Indeed, the four of them sat in the rubble of a broken wall that was a living place. The owners glared fiercely at the four Konoha and Wheel Nin.

Gilligan paused for a moment, looking around. She didn't take much not of the family, though she did notice their surroundings: especially something that smelled extremely good. Sniffing around, Gilligan turned her head in a full-circle, stopping its rotation at Kakashi and sniffing even further. She began to sniff Kakashi with a questioning look on his face, leaning in and sniffing a little more.

"Why do you –sniff– smell so good?" Gilligan looked up, confused. Wydra had a raised eyebrow, having stopped when Gilligan began sniffing around loudly. Unlike Gilligan, Wydra was intensely focused on Usagi rather than Kakashi, so she was able to quell the arousal in her stomach. Wydra stood next to Usagi.

"Are you okay Rabbit-lady?"

"Ugh, yea I am." Usagi sat up and glared back at the family of who just lost their western wall to falling Konoha ninjas.

"Why the bleep did that hulking titan of a jerk throw us out! We could have helped him…as a team!" Usagi fumed as Kakashi looked oddly at Gilligan.

"Easy, Uzaruki-san, I'm sure the ninja had his reasons…" Kakashi assisted Usagi to her feet.

Gilligan sniffed Kakashi a few more times. She had never let go of him, though she was using her own feet to stand, and still had her arms around him. She began to get a completely new – and not altogether welcomed – sensation between her legs and the pit of her stomach. This is something that most girls would feel. Unlike most girls, a completely different thing began to build and well up inside her.

Massive amounts of chakra – as though a few gates had been broken inside her – rushed through Gilligan's system. Kakashi might feel Gilligan begin to swell up a little, as though parts of her were growing rapidly, and her hair was quickly getting longer and longer.

She tightened her grip around Kakashi's waist, the look on her face slowly changing from confused to possessive. She wasn't sure why, but the teddy-wielding kid really wanted the jounin male all to herself right now.

Wydra's eyes widened and she reached over and tugged Usagi to her side at about the same time Gilligan started. Embarrassed, she mumbled out:

"I feel funny…"

"Funny? Oh geez, you're not bleeding internally, are you, kid?" Usagi's bi-colored red eyes widened as she looked at Wydra, then Gilligan. "Where is a damned Med-nin when you need one? DRAKE-CHAN!"

There was no answer to the name, and Usagi began looking at the two with mild alarming concern.

Hani had, like the unfortunate female Sand ninja that was with Sheena's broken off group, had landed on her solar plexus wrong. However, unlike the currently deceased Suna kunoichi, Hani was able to buffer the blow enough so it wasn't a death sentence. It was with growing horror that Kankuro and the two other Suna ninja that saw the condition of their Konoha ally. Kankuro, being the elder brother of the Kazekage, barked out orders as reinforcements arrived.

The orders were given, and the Suna ninja responded in kind; narrowing in on the scattered Wheel Nin and their Konoha escorts. Kankuro turned to look as one of his men inspected Hani.

"She's alive, sir, but…unresponsive." The black-haired nin said.

"Well, don't just stand there, stabilize her!" The puppet-master scowled. "I'll go see if I can locate the others!"

"Sir, yes sir!"

Having been knocked off earlier, Shozaku had recovered and was quickly running towards Yukari's crash site.

Yukari was the unlucky ninja, as her piece of rock went screaming across the top of the mountainous wall that was a barrier of the Sunagakure. She vented her frustration in the anchoring sand as soon as Barokendo had trapped the group mere minutes ago – she was trying to summon a large enough air-raptor to catch their fall. So focused on that, she missed blocking the eyeball-based vine that blind-sided her left temple. This sent her reeling head over heels as her feet finally skidded to a stop on the ledge.

Shozaku, slowing to a stop form his chakra boosted run, came up to Yukari. Conscious or not, he'd put his hands on her shoulders, shake her gently, and speak:

"Yukari! are you alright?"

"Uhhh oohh shit, my head…" Yukari responded to Shozaku's queries. "What… happened! Sand! Where's the trees…who the hell are you!" Jumping out of Shozaku's hands, Yukari snarled as she brought out her kunai.

Shozaku reacted quickly and swiftly, bringing out a pair of dice from his ninja-pack. With a quick flick of the wrist, he rolled a pair of dice and threw them to the ground. They landed with a three and a two, and upon landing both his weapons and Yukari's would be forcefully ejected away from their bodies.

"Okay, I can see you've taken a head-blow. Listen: I just wanna talk and explain what's going on…"

"Dice? You're that Gambler from the Ichiraku Shack!" Yukari pointed accusingly. "Did you kidnap me and bring me to…" It was here that Yukari stopped to look around, taking stock of her surroundings. "Sand…red rock…Sunagakure?" Then, looking down at herself, she found that her whole let side was scraped up, marred and bleeding.

"Oh that's just great…" She fell to her knees, and so missed the fact that her shorts were no longer covering her left hip or leg; which revealed the blood that flowed down her left side – along with the trickle of blood that signaled her moon's cycle.

"Yes, we're at Sunagakure…" he continued talking as she looked down. "After knowing us for a few days, your Hokage sent you to escort us to this village and…well, that's surprisingly awkward. Um…" He felt around for some extra cloth so she could clean up. He settled for just taking off his shirt and holding it out:

"I hope this helps…?"

"!" Yukari - getting a feedback loop from Sheena, Wydra and Gilligan - looked utterly surprised as she stared at Shozaku's mouth-watering figure as he took off his shirt.

"Dayum…" Yukari muttered, feeling her curse mark flare into 'On' mode. Lunging at Shozaku with a speed that made her pounding head scream in protest, she reached out and gripped the shirt with her left hand as her right wrapped itself around his shoulder; bringing her face, her lips, onto his. "Somebody needs to eat that right up now…"

Yukari started grinding against his hip as she leaned her torso in closer to his naked chest. Shozaku was facing a horrible moral impasse: or rather, from an outside perspective it would be rather horrible. His thought process went something like this:

I shouldn't take advantage of her. This is worse than being drunk! But…I haven't gotten any in days…and she IS coming on to me…but she's all crazy about that one guy. Wait, we almost got it on before…but she's not in control…so…I should be.

All this was processed in the few seconds of time after she latched onto and kissed him. He blinked, shrugged, and smiled for a moment as he looked straight into her eyes. The next, he spun her around with a quick arm motion to have her face away; then wrapped his arms around her again. One hand of his shot straight into her pants, the other going straight up what was left of her shirt, both arms crossed so he could hold her close and push her against him as he grinded against her from behind. He leaned in to nibble on her ear a moment before licking and sucking along her neck.

"I think I'll have a taste first if you don't mind…" he whispered seductively in her ear, his voice full of lusty promises and hints of what he wanted to do with her.

"Oh…" Yukari moaned out before her scrapped up left leg gave out and she swayed to her left. She would have fallen and ended up face first against Shozaku's crotch. Only he had acted first and turned her around so her back was to him. So instead, she slid down the front of him, feeling that present bulge that was in his pants with the back of her head.

"Stupid leg…" She cursed her bad luck and struggled to lift herself back into position as her buckled leg had let her fall enough down to pull Shozaku's hand out of her torn pants. She was now on her knees with that back of her head against his crotch.

Sheena almost started to cry, as hateful of her current circumstances as she was. But she stopped, as a strange sensation started growing within her. Almost as though right next to her, she could feel the vibration from each of their steps. She was confused, torn more so than either of her friends might be. Normally, the only male she wanted around was her brother and the strange cook.

Now, for some reason something; she found the men nearby were appealing, though she didn't know what or why. She, and possibly a few of the surrounding Sand-nin, could feel the chakra building up inside of her, made more obvious by the fact that the chains were rattling with renewed energy. One chain began to curl around Jiyu's foot.

Reena herself could feel chakra being pushed into her at a rapid rate, a bit of bleed-off from Sheena herself; the chakra was almost forcing the puppy to grow. Not quite grow in size, but in other, strange ways.

"Hey, what the!" Jiyu cursed out loud as the chain snaked up around his foot. "A chain!"

"What's wrong, Jiyu?" another male ninja stood next to him.

"What are you dogs doing!" the gruff voice of Kankuro barked from behind Sheena. "We have an emergency here, and you two are just standing around staring at the girl? Get her and take her to the medical buildings, where we'll meet the rest!"

"Woof!" Reena leapt up, having grown from small fry to ten months in a span of thirty seconds. The Inuzuka whelp jumped on Kankuro's left foot and started humping his leg.

The very connection she didn't know she formed, the one she made to bring other people closer and to her ideals, was now working against her. She may have been able to resist, the rest were far enough away that she could block out the feelings of lust and the hormonal urgings. But Reena was like the button to the bomb. Sheena had welled up inside, and released something she never wanted released. The moment Reena started humping Kankuro's leg – arguably the most powerful man in the area – there was a thunderclap as her body gained an enormous amount of chakra.

She recover from her injuries, standing up as the chain that was wrapped around Jiyu's foot threw him off to the side, as several others lifting up from the sand that hid around Kankuro. As the chains began to wrap around him, and they would, unless he could think fast enough or somebody stopped it, he could see her begin to transform.

Sheena's body began to shine, as though itself becoming metallic. Her features began to grow, as though she matured months in a minute. Her hair became less of a frizzled dome, becoming sleek and smooth as she walked towards him. She did not move seductively, she did not say or do anything appealing. But it was very clear in her eyes that she wanted him, and that she would kill to have him.

"Uhh…" Kankuro looked on in confusion as chakra-laced chains encircled him, pinning his arms against his sides. It was even more startling to see the brat kid before him throw one of his squad to the side like a useless puppet. The girl transformed from a brat to a lusty, long-haired vixen from a dream. The puppet-master's body betrayed him thoroughly as the crotch of his pants bulged in response.

"Kankuro-sama!" A few of his squad members cried in surprise as the brat girl transformed into a certain threat.

Seeing as nobody came to Kankuro's defense, he would find his body wrapped in chains. His arms would be bound to his sides, his fingers barely movable, as his legs were forced apart, pants ripping in the process. He would be slammed onto his back upon the ground, as Sheena walked right up to him. She looked him up and down, her eyes stopping on the bulge in his ripped-pants, the corner of her lips stretching into a smile as her lips parted slightly, her tongue snaking out to lick them.

"Mmmm…I…don't normally go for your type but…you'll do very well…" she said, reaching with her own hands towards the rim of her pants.

"Wa-wait just a minute there, girly." Kankuro stuttered. "Don't…you want to do what I think you're going to do…properly?" Even though his body continued to betray him, Kankuro still had use of his thinking, planning mind: and his goal was to defuse the tense situation – otherwise there would be actions taken that both he and the Konoha ninjas would have to react upon.

One of those was his ninja were closing in on the now-beautiful girl; all eight of them on kill-mode. Another was progressing fast enough to make all of them uncomfortable: a serious sex-bent girl wanting some action.
