Chapter 3

"Red Rain"

"Kill them and get that fucking Bitch." shouted the frog man to his men with raw hatred in his eyes just as some of his own blood spat out onto his face.

"Well looks like where in for a fight." said Kankuro with a smile on his face as he reached behind him for the three large scrolls.

"Hn, finally I get to have some fun." laughed Temari as she flung open her fan.

"Hn" was Gaara's only comment but the blood thirsty look in his eyes and the violent sand circling him was all that was needed to know what he wanted.

"Puppet Performance, Black secret Technique: Karasu, Kuroari, Sanshouo!" shouted Kankuro, removing all three of the large scrolls on his back, engulfing the entire area in a puff of smoke. Then three puppets shot out of the smoke, two man like and the other crocodile looking. One of the man like puppets had three eyes and four arms and the other puppet was a slightly larger one with two eyes, four arms and two red horns on the top of its head. With in seconds the puppets where attacking viscously at several men.

"Don't hog them all Kankuro" laughed Temari as she jumped high in the air and made two powerful swipes with her fan knocking a few men near Hinata away. "Come on Hinata, lets have some fun." She said landing beside her in a crouch before she slammed her fan close and began running towards the soldiers with it high above her head. Soon she was slamming it into a man's face and at the back of the his skull, splashing his blood on his fellow comrades. Then she was crashing her fan into another persons arm making it give a sickening crack before slamming her foot into another mans face in a spinning side kick.

Hinata stood there watching as Temari showed her enemies no mercy, before jumping into the air again while opening her fan. Soon the men were dogging powerful slashing that rained down on the, many of them losing their limbs as their blood sprayed around them.

When she turned to where Kankuro was she saw the smaller man like puppet slamming two men in side the larger man like puppet before removing its arms. Then a long sharp blade flipped out of the joint of each arm and slammed into the large puppet as the screams of the men were heard. Then it reattached its arms and pushed out the mangled bodies of the man.

That when she felt something wet hit her wrist. Rain? She thought as she looked down at it before releasing it wasn't water . . . it was blood. When she turned to look from where it came from her eyes locked onto Gaara. He was standing with his arms crossed watching as his sand grabbed its victims before raising them into the air. Then with a sickening sound he slowly ripped off each limb, breaking bones and tiring muscle and skin. She watched with morbid fascination as he would raise his open hand towards their limbs before squeezing it closed and crushing the limbs into a liquidly mush. Then his sand moved to what was left of the still alive, stub of a man, smothering him with his own blood before he too ended up with the same fate as the rest of him.

She watched as blood rained down from the sky towards her, completely avoiding Gaara. Her eyes stayed fixated at the red rain before turning to look at the look of satisfaction on his face.

Then as if feeling her eyes on him he turned to look at her. He watched as she turned her eyes slowly away from him back to falling blood, reaching her hand out in front of her, catching some of it. Although his face remained a blank mask, in side he was slightly confused by her reaction towards him.

She did not look afraid, horrified, or even disgusted by his sick action, but instead she looked at him with those same soulless eyes. Soon the feeling of her looking deep with in him, as if she were looking at his soul, came over his senses. He felt something stir with in him as he watched her take in his black soul, with out a single negative thing crossing thoughts pale eyes of her.

Then as if showing her a game of his, he moved one of his many victims that was still unscratched in between them. Soon his sand was swirling violently around the man ripping his skin away from his body. She watched his actions as he watched her taking it all in. The horrific screams of the man soon filled the air joining the chorus around them. Once the gruesome task was finished he began to snap the man's arms and legs into sickening positions before slowly crushing them. Then the sand began to crawl up what was felt of the man before crushing him too. She starred at the blood soaked sand for a moment before looking back into Gaara's wild looking eyes.

"Hinata! Behind you." Shouted Temari as six men ran up to her, two of them with chakra nets. Hinata took one look at the men before flipping into the air, spinning dozens of time, sword in hand, removing the hands of the men holding the net. When she landed behind them she made a wide sweep with her sword slicing the back of their ankles causing them to fall to the ground. Then stabling her sword into the ground she moved into a handstand as the other four men surrounded her, twirling in circles with her legs spread, kicking each of them hard in the face sending them to the ground.

As they tried to stand up she stopped twirling, moving both her legs together and slammed them in the neck of the man in front of her. Once he crashed onto the ground unmoving she moved back into a handstand, with her feet still together, doing the same thing to the man behind her landing flat on her back. That's when the man to her right brought a strong kick towards her face with his heel.

She crossed blocked it with her arms before grabbing onto his ankle swinging her legs up over her face, pulling herself into a flying double kick into his face, breaking his nose and making his jaw snap into an painful position. With herself still in the air she grabbed that lasts mans neck, turning herself to the side of his body, kicking at the side of his knee breaking it at an odd angle. As they began to fall she reached back, grabbing the handle of her sword and slamming it in to his face, knocking him out.

Gaara's cold eyes were wide after watching Hinata quickly takes care of the men in an unusually graceful way, almost as if she was dancing instead of fighting. Placing his emotionless mask back into place he slowly sent his sand slithering like a snake towards her victims, while she turned to look at his sister.

Hinata watched as fatigue began to come down heavily on both Temari and Kankuro, as they continued to fight back the greatly reduced army.

Temari landed another punch in the face of the man in front of her, knocking him to the ground. She then turned to watch as a man to her left tried to land a flying side kick at her. She jumped back, just barely missing his kick only to have something slam into her from behind, dropping her fan and siding her flying into the air . . . . . and right over the cliff.

Kankuro turned with a jerk at hearing his sisters scream to see her falling over to edge of the cliff. "Temari!" he shouted trying to get to her, only to be swamped by more soldiers. "No, TEMARI!" he yells, as time seemed to slow down as he watches her disappear over the edge and sees something running low to the ground towards the cliff. He slowly turns to it as he sees the thing leap into the air and off the cliff following his sister.

As Hinata saw Temari being flung over the cliff, she stabbed her sword into the ground and began running towards the edge of the cliff before leaping over it after her in a dive. Hinata shot towards Temari as she was falling face first into the pit of darkness below her. When Hinata got close enough she reached out and snatched Temari in the air turning her so that she was facing herself in a tight hug.

"Hinata?" she whispered in shock.

"It's alright," Hinata gentle said as her soulless eyes became soft and kind, "Close your eyes."

Temari starred at Hinata before slowly closing her eyes feeling that her death was finally here, but instead of feeling sad and scared she felt calm and excepting of her death, seeing as she would not be going alone.

"And what ever you do, don't move." Hinata said as she did a few hand singles behind Temari's back, building massive amounts of chakra around her body except the parts Temari touched. Soon her chakra began to sparks all around her body before fire began to engulfing her. With in seconds she was like one large flame as the firer around the bottom of her feet exploded into a spiraling motion causing them to be jerked down before she sharply turned her body upwards flying them back up the cliff.

Once Kankuro and Gaara finished the rest of the soldiers they ran over to the edge of the cliff. Kankuro had tears slowly building in his eyes as he saw nothing but blackness. "Temari." He chocked out as he began to shake all over. That's when he saw sparks suddenly appear in the darkness before it began flame, jerking slightly right before shooting up towards them.

In moments Hinata was up the cliff, circling once in the sky before moving to land in front of both Gaara and Kankuro. The flames where completely gone the second both Hinata and Temari touched the ground, leaving both of them unscratched.

Temari's eyes snapped open when she felt the ground under her feet. She was in shock as she slowly began to let go of Hinata as she moved back on all four's. Temari look around confused, seeing them self's back on top the cliff. "What- How-." she began completely speechless as she looked between her and teary eyed Kankuro. "You saved me."

"You trusted me." Hinata said, still with kind eyes.

"Temari!" he breathed as he jerked her into a tight hug.

"Hey, don't tell me that my little baby brother is crying over me." She teased as she hugged him back.

"Evil bitch." He whispered to her as he hugged her tighter.

"Wise ass." She shot back.

Hinata watched the scene before her with blank eyes, and slight fascination as if she has never seen people do it before. But turned as she felt the pressure of eyes on her to see Gaara looking at her closely. That's when she saw an object flash in the trees heading straight towards the hugging siblings.

"Down." said Hinata as she pushes both Temari and Kankuro out of the way only to get smacked hard in the up left half of her face. Hinata was out before she even hit the ground.

"Hinata!" shouted Temari as she rushed to her side gentle turning her onto her lap, moving hair away from her masked face.

"Bastard" spat Kankuro as he lifted a metal ball the size of a fist by a long chain from Hinata's side. Soon the screams of a man was heard as they turned to see that Gaara had the frog man lifted high in the air right before him.

"Dame Mother fucking pieces of shit!" the man shouted as sand slowly began to crawl up to his face. "You might kill me but they will not stop until they have her back. Do you hear me? And they will have her ripe out you in sides and strangle you with them. Your dead, you hear me, dead!" he screamed just before he was engulfed in sand and crushed into a liquidly mush.

"Hey, Hinata. Come on open your eyes." Temari gently said as she shook her gentle. "Kankuro, help me get her mask off. I need to see if something broken." She said as he moved to kneel over Hinata, having her lean on his shoulder. "Ah, you've got to be fucking kidding me," she spat "the straps have small locks on them." she said while moving Hinata's long hair to the side to show three black, leather straps with locks in the center. With in seconds she pulled out her lock picks and began to work on them.

"Wait." Kankuro said causing Temari's hands to freeze.

"What?!"

"What if she's ugly or horrible misshapen?" he asked.

"Kankuro you fucking ass, she could have a concussion or a fracture and your worried about what she fucking looks like?" she shouted and him angrily.

"Well, people only put have masks on if their trying to hide something bad." Kankuro said trying to defend himself.

"She could have a bloody pig's nose for all I care and a snake's tough. It's coming off." She said as she finished undoing the locks before laying her back onto her back, "Besides it couldn't be half as bad as your face." she said as Kankuro shot her an angry dull look. She then slowly began to remove the white procaine mask. Kankuro's stiffened he took in the sight before him.

"She's . . ."
