Part 4 Burning Stars

I ran out of the Kazekage's Manor, my heart was beating so fast it hummed. I was rushing with adrenalin which fuelled my fears further. My head was spinning, I felt like my stomach would drop out of my butt. How could an intruder get into my room and steal Kotaro, and more importantly how did they know where he was? I ran through the village. The exit to the desert seemed to be an eternity away, almost like a mirage. The guards turned to look at me as I dashed out through the gaps in the huge wall that surrounded Suna. They grabbed me, I clearly looked suspicious.

"Oi you, what do you think you're doing,"

"Going to get Kotaro back!" I must have done one of my most burning glares because they released me at once. Also it may have been the fact that my incredibly strong powerful chakra had flared up.

I ran like I was runing for my life out of the passage. Was I stupid or what? My village had given me this special chakra; also I could make myself fly with it.

"Scatter," I yelled, as my purple chakra wings unfolded and took me higher. I flattened my body to go faster. I sped over the sand dunes looking for any sign of Kotaro and his captor. I felt nothing but sheer panic. I had another trick up my sleeve to find where Kotaro and his captor were, I made a flow of chakra to my eyes. With this technique I could tell whose chakra it was in my village so I was better prepared. It worked, I spotted a person speeding along up ahead in the sand. I started to swoop down.

I landed on the ground running. I could feel the heat of the chakra even though the desert heat was scorching. I hadn't mastered the star's chakra but I certainly had learned a lot of its secrets and unlocked them. As I sped towards the person I could tell by the chakra who it was. It was Daichi a powerful high ranking ninja who specialised in more of what the other hidden villages did such as; hand to hand combat. I on the other hand used the star's chakra, and was one of the few who did. This would be easier in that case, a clash of opposite techniques. I put my hands in the correct position and practically screamed it, "Kujaku Mayouhou!" the peacock flared around me in a crescent moon tail of fiery purple flaming chakra, "All around" the chakra formed into a spinning vortex. I directed it forward like an arm. It wrapped around Daichi like a snake and hurled him up into the air and he fell on the sandy ground with a force that sent a shockwave to me.

"Daichi, where is Kotaro?!" I yelled at him, I picked him up with one hand and slammed him back into the ground. I could only assume this was chakra and my motherly instincts at work because I am quite a small girl and he is a big strong guy,

"Who's Kotaro?" he smirked, was he trying to make me kill him?

"The bird! You know bloody well what I am talking about, so don't try and weasel out of it you scheming bastard!" my chakra flew towards him and snaked around his neck, slowly strangling him. He reached into his jacket and produced a ruffled looking Kotaro. I snatched Kotaro back. Daichi wasn't getting away that easily, the adrenalin was rushing through me and he, he was part of the council that had decided their so called 'plan A' which I hated them for with all of my soul for even thinking of. The chakra flow all over my body was immense, I could feel it. All the pain I had suffered at the hands of my village was coursing through my veins like red hot venom, creeping into every particle of my body. Daichi leapt up in a fighting stance, he was obviously under no illusion I was letting him go.

"Come on then, lets match the mighty power of the star against my specialist ninja skills," he said this and laughed like it was some kind of game. I had moulded the chakra into two wolves; I decided to give Daichi all I had.

"Agony!" the two wolves merged into one gigantic monstrous wolf. It pelted towards Daichi, the wolf flung him around like a little rag doll, almost playing with him. I hadn't given him my full and complete strength, yet. I seemed almost to be possessed as the wolf trapped him, then pinning him to the ground and slashing at him. I ran closer too him gathering chakra all over my palms so they glowed. Somehow Daichi was released, maybe a surge in my chakra. It was like lightening with lightening, flashing a blinding chakra light with a sound that travelled for miles. Our hands collided; I swiped at him with my leg and caught him in the chest. He gasped, I had put a powerful charge through his heart, not deadly but I knew it was causing him complete agony. The energy that emitted from our fight was causing a violent wind to occur that blew my hair, which crackled with electricity. He was still up and fighting. The huge wolf came out of my chakra again and this time it also had two thick arms of chakra to help it. The wolf lunged as the two chakra arms went around him.

Daichi's eyes widened in horror as all three masses of chakra met and crushed him with the force of a bomb. I was blown off my feet and hurled up in the air. I landed and skidded 10 feet away from where I had been. I lay on the ground. Daichi lay there breathing heavily with a wheeze to it; he was bruised, bleeding and broken. Daichi turned his head to look at me. He was in a bad way. He looked horrified at what I had been able to do. His face was a bloody mass. I heard voices so I stood up gingerly. I turned and looked back towards the way I'd come from., I saw Kankurou and Temari running towards me and Gaara infront, flying on his sand. I felt weak and tierd. I was in pain, so much pain but not just on my body, but in my heart. As I turned my body around to face the Sand siblings fully I collapsed from exhaustion because those techniques I used, use up all your strength, all of your chakra and all the energy you posses. I lay there. My eyes started to roll back; I struggled to keep them open. I saw Gaara's face over mine,

"Keitii, stay with us," Gaara said, he slid in and out of focus.

But I slid away into darkness and started to spin, down, down, down.
