I awoke with a start, swiveling my head I looked out of the lone window. I saw stars sprinkle across an inky sky. I rubbed the gunk from my eye and sat up. It's not even morning and I'm still tired…looks like I'm not getting back to sleep tonight. I looked over to my right to see Gaara sleeping soundly. I giggled to myself. He looked so peacefully and cute when he was asleep, completely different from when he's conscious and radiating the whole ' I'm a human ice cube…hn.' thing. I heard the creaking of floor boards and my head perked. Whose there? Daichi should be sleeping. I stood and walked over to Daichi's room. As I turned the corner I almost yelled if I wasn't for the hand that slapped over my mouth. When I silenced Daichi removed it and signaled to be quiet.

"They're here." He said kunai in hand. My eyes widened as I felt a sickening feeling flooded my stomach twisting and churning knots until I felt sick. They're here…They're here and they've come for us. I felt my body shake and my senses heighten. We need to get out of here. We need to leave now. Daichi motioned to the kitchen were Gaara was still asleep. Gaara, he would just be an innocent bystander in all this.

I dashed into the room as Daichi followed. Gaara was sleeping as place my hand over his mouth to keep him from making noise. I did the same thing as Daichi and signal him to be silent. He obeyed giving me a questioning glance,

"Get your gourd, we're leaving. Be quiet." Daichi whispered. He nodded and picked up his gourd that had remained there since his arrival. I grabbed his hand and lead him into Daichi's room. He walked over to the closet and lifted up a board in the floor revealing a hidden tunnel. Seals surrounded the bottom of the door to keep people out once it was shut and resealed, eight feet below through the trap door was a dirty tunnel.

"There are five outside surrounding the house; I'll take care of them. I want you to take the Kazekage and run. Stay at the hideout until I get there. I'll come for you when I can. If I'm not there by nightfall you leave. Now go."

"No! I'm not leaving you." I said tears welling in my eyes. I grabbed onto his arm and tugged him towards me. I didn't want to leave him. I didn't want to lose him.

"Please take care of her for me." He said pushing me into Gaara.

"No!" I yelled. He was talking like I was never going to see him again. The tears I was trying to contain broke through and I became a wreck.

"I'm sorry…" he whispered. Just then a crash came from the kitchen. They were here.

"Go!" He pushed me backwards. I ended up bumping into Gaara and we were both sent backwards through the tunnel door and into the darkness below. I braced myself for the impact but instead felt sand cradle us. I looked down and a hand made of sand brought us to the ground safely. Once we reached the ground I jumped to my feet,

"No! We can't leave him up there. They'll kill him. Please bring me back up there, please." I pleaded gripping tightly onto his shirt.

"He told me to take care of you. By bring you back I'll only be putting you in danger. Which I believe is the last thing your brother wants." His voice was calm and collected. He obviously wanted to know what was going on but knew now was not the time to ask.

"Screw what he wants! I want to help my brother. Screw you, I'll do it myself!" I yelled and walked under the opening. I jumped a few time but soon realized that would do little. I hate doing this…it's probably doesn't help that I'm so stressed and tired! FUCKKK! I closed my eyes and took a few calming breathes. Up…I want to go up. I thought while willing myself up off the ground as I jumped a couple of times. Come on…please work…please…up I want to go up. I imagined myself floating.

"What are you doing?" I ignored him and soon I felt my body lift up into the air. I only need to be lifted a couple feet from the ground before I could reach the door. I lifted my hands up and felt the grains of wood against my fingertips. I was surprised that Gaara hadn't said anything but I had more important things to worry about. I lift the board and hung from the edge as I lifted myself up and into Daichi's room. My feet still hanging off kicking air; it seemed I wasn't strong enough to push myself up all the way. This is what happens when you don't train like your suppose too.

"I could use a little help!" I yelled down to Gaara below. Suddenly I felt something pushing against my feet moving and squirming. I reached the floor and scrabbled to my feet. Two men stood before Daichi, one with a kunai in hand and the other pressing the tip of a katana to Daichi's neck. A third, a woman stood in the back watching the fight progress. There was a body in the kitchen as I could see their hand sticking through the doorway. The woman was the first to notice my presence. She turned towards me, golden eyes dancing in malice and joy. I froze, I knew this woman…

-

The scenery flew by in blurs of greens, browns and blues leaving a trail of broken branches in their wake. A young azure haired child no older than ten clung to her older brother's back as they flew through the air, traveling from branch to branch.

"I'm scared, Daichi. Why won't they leave us alone? We didn't do anything!" She yelled tears fell from the younger child's eyes as she sniffled into her brother's back. The elder knew the reason but didn't want to worry his sibling. She didn't need to worry over such things. He didn't want to trouble her with things she wouldn't be able to comprehend.

"I don't know, Mizu. But don't worry, we'll lose them." He reassured. Just then kunai and shurikens were sent flying their way. Mizu screamed, clinging to her brother tighter then every. The eldest saw this coming and jumped higher up into the branches above to dodge.

"Make them stop. Please make them stop." She pleaded rivers streaming down her pallor face as she shook her head rapidly. Her brother, Daichi fell to his knees exhausted on the thick branch. Mizu slid off his back running around to face her fallen brother,

"DaiChi! Are you okay?" She knelt down next to him wiping his chestnut hair out of his silver orbs.

"I'm fine, Mizu."

"We need to get out of here. They're going to be here soon." The sister pleaded, grabbing his hand and pulling him to his feet. The twelve year old stumbled to his feet and fell backwards leaning against the trunk of the tree.

"Brother…" Mizu screamed rushing to her brother's side.

"Well, well, well. Look who we've caught up too." A rogue ninja snickered as two of his accomplices landed behind him; a woman with violet hair walk up to him.

"So, these are them? Hmph, they don't seem that strong." Both of the children look up as Mizu shrinks back in fear and Daichi struggles to his feet and pushes Mizu behind him.

"Don't say that, Haruka. The boy may be nothing but the girl; I've seen her power. Why do you think Kaji-da (1) wants her?" A brown hair boy interrupted walking up to join the rest. "Whatever." She said brushing the comment aside. "What do we do with him though?" She questioned pointing to the boy. A sick smirk crosses the leaders face,

"Kill him." The leader said unsheathing his katana as he licked his lips in anticipation. He darted forward Katana at the ready in a striking position.

"No!" Mizu screamed jumping in front of her brother. The others took this as their chance to capture the blue haired child but to their horror they couldn't move. They struggled but it did nothing to help them. The katana was not a centimeter from Daichi's chest but its wielder didn't thrust the blade into his heart, or rather he could not.

"What the... what's going on?!" Haruka voiced her teammate's thoughts exactly. The boy looked at his sister in admiration as he smiled tiredly. She had saved him, she may not have known how she did this but she did it none the less. He turned back to their attackers eyes alight with fury.

"It looks like we're not so pathetic after all." He said pushing himself up and leaning against the trunk. "Now it's my turn." The young boy smirked eyes alight with malice. The tree began to tremble and from behind the boy branches shot out from behind him. The rouge ninjas looked on with shock and horror as their leader was speared through the heart by a branch. The branch wrapped around the deceased body and pulled it into the tree disappearing. Mizu looked on horrified and hyperventilating, she soon passed out and the hold on the other too ninja vanished.

"Shit!" Haruka yelled jumping out of the way of a flying branch intent on crushing her. This child didn't use any hand signs the plants move as if he wills it. She dodged to the left as another branch was sent her way but her partner was not quick enough and was pushed off his perch and was sent falling to the ground below. He landed with a crack and although he had broken some bones he was safe. The boy looked down at the wounded man sadly before a sick smirk stretched across his face. He stomped his foot on the ground and both looked down as earth rose from the ground swallowing him whole. The last remaining ninja looked up at the boy; she would be no match for him. It would be better to leave with her life besides she needs to tell Kaji da about this new turn of events.

Daichi slumped down breathing heavily, he had use most of his chakra running from them. He glanced over at his sister eyes closed and breathing calmly. He stood to his feet groaning as he walked over to her fallen form. He hoisted her on his back and jumped down to the ground below.

"They're not gonna get us." He whispered, "I promise you they'll never get us." He said slowly making his way to Konoha.

-

"Seems she came to us. How lucky." She said a smirk crossing her features, as she brushed her purple hair from eyes. This got the others attention and they looked my way. Daichi's eyes widened in fear and as the other's attention were on me he took his chance to attack the one holding the katana to his throat. A vine-like branch broke through the floor and wrapped around the black hair ninja. He screamed in pain as spikes protruded from the branch and blood was splashed across the room. I winched at the sight and looked away.

"Stop him!" Haruka yelled as she sent an attack of sebon needles flying my Daichi's way. Daichi's back was facing her while he was busy defending himself from the other ninja so he didn't notice the attack. I looked closely and noticed a thick purple substance at the tip of the needle. Poison.

"Daichi!" I yelled running in front of him blocking him from the attack with my back. I felt the needles slice through my skin and embed into my back. I yelled out in pain and fell forward into Daichi. Daichi swung around to catch me before I hit the ground. I groaned in pain as he placed me on the ground.

-

"Mizu…Mizu! Are you okay?" he yelled shaking me. The girl just flopped around too tired to move her body. She let out a grunt to let him know she was still conscious although she was slipping. Daichi stood hunch over her form pulling her closer to him. He looked up silver eyes stormy and full of hatred.

The cabin floor began to shake and two thick branches broke through the floor twisting and curling around Daichi and Mizu. The ninja Daichi was fighting before started making hand signs planning to attack them. Suddenly one of the branches ripped through the floor and wrapped around the ninja's ankle and threw him into the wall. The wall broke and the ninja was sent flying through the air into a tree outside. The ninja coughed up blood but wasn't affected any more than a few broken ribs. Daichi would be sure to change that. As the ninja stumbled to his feet the second branch came at him and pierced his heart killing him.
Haruka stood there silently, she knew if she was to move he could kill her in an instant. She glanced through the now open wall searching for her master. Where was he? She could fell his presence out there. If he saw that they were in trouble wouldn't he help them? She suddenly felt something slither and crawl up her leg as she looked down she saw sand. Sand? She looked up and before her stood a very angry red headed kazekage. Her eyes widened in fear as the sand move faster almost covering her mouth now. Suna's kazekage, this was the last thing they were expecting. She struggled against the sand but found it of no use.

"Kaji Da!" she yelled wishing her master was mercifully enough to allow her to live. Her pleas were not met and another's blood was added to Gaara's sand.

-

As the sand slithered back into the gourd and the cork was replaced the kazekage walked over to the two hunched figures. Daichi's face was shadowed by his hair although Mizu's face was visible. Her skin was pale and moist, her eyes closed and her face distorted into pain. He noticed Daichi was holding five sebon needles in his hand, the tips of them mixed with a purple substance and blood. Poison.

The kazekage placed his hand on the elder boy's shoulder concern in his eyes. When the boy looked up he was shocked. Daichi had been crying, his eyes red and puffy.

"We need to get her to Suna. The medic's can treat her there." His voice broke through the silence. The boy nodded and wiped his face of any traces of tears. He stood to his feet and lifted Mizu with him carrying her bridal style.

From the closet out picked Chi, she had sensed the commotion dying down and felt it was safe to leave her haven. She noticed Mizu in Daichi's arms and ran over to them. She hopped up into Mizu's lap, as she walked up she rubbed her soft fur against Mizu's burning face. Upon seeing no reaction she looked up at Daichi beady black eyes worried.

"We're going to get help; don't worry Chi." The ferret looked back down at her friend and curled up into the sleeping child's lap.

(1) Kaji Da means eternal fire.

Wow, This is the longest chapter so far.

The story will finally pick up from here. Yes!! Oh, something will be explained in the next chapter. Like why Mizu can control water and Daichi can control earth, who those people where ect. I think. It might take two chapters to finish explaining everything. I'm not sure. I think this is about half way done. So there should be Seventeen chapters in total.

Sorry for switching from first person to third person. It's easier for me to write battle sense in third person apparently. So from now on I'll write battle scenes in third person. I suck at writing fighting scenes so suggestions would be appreciated SO MUCH! I love everyone that reviewed because you're all amazing. Thanks for reading and everything.

P.S – LMFAO Apparently Dominic the Donkey is a mob hit. That's funny.
