When worlds collide
~Chapter 9~
Third person
...
Walking around the village, when it was raining, seemed way better than when it was dry.
There weren't as many people out due to the heavy rain and the ones who were out. We're more focused on keeping themselves dry, then fully concerned on who was walking around them.
Yukia walks with her head held low her blue eyes hooded her red hair, lying flatt against her head. The girl was completely soaked from head to toe.
Yukia didn't feel like putting up a shield right now. Her shields were tiring at times, especially if she used them too much, and, honestly, she didn't mind getting wet. Little droplets of water fall down her face, almost making it look like she had been crying. casting her head up, at the very faint but very familiar scent coming from up in front of her. They were just a meter or so in front of her. if she kept walking, she would eventually walk right into them.
Deciding to keep going, Yukia keeps her head to the ground maybe if she didn't look up they would leave her alone not that she would mind if they bothered her or anything she just wanted to be to herself for now. The sound of a dog barking suddenly comes from in front of her, causing her eyes to cast up from the ground once more.
Yukia immediately spots a small white dog racing towards her. As the animal grows closer. The little creature bends its knees. Jumping up into the girls arms. Only to knock the unexpected girl backwards onto the wet ground with a small thud. She hadn't been prepared to catch him.
Bits of uncontrolled laugher comes from her mouth. As the dog starts to lick her cheek constantly, with his tail wagging back and forth a million miles an hour.
"Hi, Akamaru, I missed you to boy," Yukia cries through puffs of laughter
Despite her downcast mood, she couldn't be upset at the little guy he was far too cute for her to get mad. Yukia always had a huge soft spot for dogs despite being able to turn into a wolf. She runs a gentle hand through his soft, wet white fur. Her blue eyes sparkling happily.
Akamaru jumps down from her lap and attempts to help the girl back to her feet using his muzzle
"Thank you, Akamaru." Yukia soothes down to him, a bright smile crossing her lips.
Who would have thought getting knocked on the ground by a little white puppy and licked in the face would make someone feel so much better?
"Akamaru, where did you go?" A male voice calls from in front of them.
Yukia turns her head to see the owner of the voice. Easily spotting Kiba, running over to her. His brown hair stuck to his head. As rain runs down his face. The boy completely soaked.
Kiba comes to a stop in front of her, his animalistic eyes gazing down to Akamaru. The puppy wagging his tail happily at his best friend.
"It's been a while since we last seen you," Kiba finally points out as he casts a look back up to the young red-haired girl standing before him. "Now I know what Akamaru was saying. He must have picked up your scent. I'm not sure why, but I think he likes you. "
"Well, I'm glad," Yukia chuckles. With the white puppy tilting his head to look up at her. "I like him to"
Akamaru walks over to his human partner. Scurrying easily up the brunettes back and resting on the top of the boys head. Kiba grins at her words. Who wouldn't like his cute little friend? Akamaru was just too cute, not to like.
"It's nice to see you, Kiba." Yukia speaks up again. "It has been a while,"
"Yeah, it has," Kiba agrees, a lopsided grin coming to his lips.
"H... Hi. Yukia" the timed voice of Hinata comes from behind Kiba.
Catching Yukia's quick attention. Casting her eyes over to the side of the tall brunette. Yukia easily spots Hinata and the ever so quiet Shino who seemed like he would much rather have been somewhere else other than with his two teammates.
"Hi Hinata, hi Shino," Yukia greets with a slight wave over at the two leaf ninjas. Noticing they were also soaking wet. "It's great to see you too as well,"
Shino simply nods his head at her in greeting. Remaining quite. His hands going into the front pocket of his white hoodie.
"It's nice to see you too," Hinata replies, with her hands nervously twitching in front of her face. With her silver eyes gazing to the ground.
"Why are you not using your shields?" Kiba questions with a tilt of his head. Being careful not to tilt it too far. He didn't want Akamaru to fall off his head. "Walking around in the rain like you are, you could catch a cold."
"I didn't feel like wasting energy on my shields." Yukia simply answers him a sigh coming from her mouth. As she hoods her eyes and uncaring look coming over her face. "And I don't care if I catch a cold, I might deserve it,"
The three leaf ninja seemed to raise their eyes at the red-headed girl questionably.
"Why?" Shino asked, with his eyes narrowing under his glasses, at her suspiciously.
Yukia only shrugs her shoulders at him, a troubled look coming to her face. Though she stayed quiet, she didn't really know why her catching a cold would be a good thing.
"Hey, you!!" A loud male voice suddenly shouts from up a top a nearby building. Sounding a bit urgent.
Gaining Yukia and the three young ninjas quick attention. Three much older leaf ninja swiftly leap over the building
"What the heck!!?" Kiba wonders loudly. Akamaru lets out a low growl from a top of his head. "What's going on?"
"Were under attack," another leaf ninja answered, jumping down in front of the young ninjas. And, Yukia.
"What?!" Kiba cries incredulously. "By who?"
The man shrugs His shoulders.
"Where not sure yet," he replies. "Either help or get out of the way, kids."
Yukia walks up to the older ninja, making him blink his eyes down at her unsurely.
"You're hurt," she points out kindly. A little smile coming to her lips. As she places her hand gently on a small cut on his arm. Blue energy instantly flares up around her palms.
Kiba and Hinata watch the girl curiously. Having not seen her heal someone before. Both of them instantly noticing the man's wound immediately start to heal up under her hand.
Shino stays back from the group, his eyes still watching the girl through, suspicious eyes. Which seems to go unnoticed.
Once Yukia finishes healing the guy up, she steps back. Giving the man another kind smile. The blue energy around her hand having already died away.
"That should do for now," She tells him gently.
"Um, thanks?" The man replies unsurely. Shaking his head. The man turns to run of easily disappearing into a crowd of people.
"That was awesome." Kiba cheers loudly. "I didn't know you could heal."
"Well um yeah" Yukia soothes with a slight pink coming over her cheeks. She wasn't used to someone getting so excited over her healing. She didn't think it was that big of a deal. Shaking her head, Yukia slips into her wolf form.
"I gotta go find my friends," she tells team ten, her voice a bit gravely.
"Be...be careful, Yukia," Hinata says wearily. Still unsure how to react to Yukia, being in her wolf form.
"You all be careful," Yukia replies, smiling at the shy hyuga. And nodding towards Kiba, and, Shino. Before turning to head towards the hotel.
...
Lunging forward, Yukia crashes hard into the chest of an enemy ninja. Her heavy body easily Knocking him to the ground.
Yukia's powerful jaws wrap around the man's throat. Digging deep into his neck. Easily crushing his windpipe.
Pulling her head back. Ripping flesh from the man's throat. Blood splashes onto her chest, soaking her blue fur in the crimson red color.
Drops of blood drips from her teeth a distasteful look coming to her face. Having instantly tasted the mans blood in her mouth, she rubs her muzzle with her front paws, hoping to somehow clean her mouth of the irony taste. Though it doesn't seem to help one bit.
Putting her paw back down, she begins running again, trying to get to the hotel before someone else attacks her or her friends got hurt.
Yukia silently hoped. The Titans were ok. She honestly didn't know how close the hotel was to her now. The village was still quite big and she wasn't used to it yet, just like the Titans city. Yukia was always bad about getting lost around big places.
"Yukia!!" A familiar female voice shouts from somewhere up in the sky.
Causing Yukia to come to an abrupt halt. Her eyes now looking around the sky, trying to find the familiar voice that had called her name.
Due to the rain constantly splashing in her eyes. It was really hard to see anything up there. Snapping her head forwards her eyes, narrowing slightly as three familiar figures approach her. A small bit of relief going down her spine.
"Thank goodness you guys are ok," Yukia mumbles a mushroom like sigh coming from her lips,
Starfire and Raven land on the ground beside her. Each Titan seemed relieved that their teammate was safe as well..
Yukia snarls dangerously before, bending low to the ground. She then leaps over Robin's head a surprised look coming over the boy's face as he hadn't expected to have a huge wolf jump over his head if he was, any taller she probably would have knocked him over unintentionally of course. he and the other Titans quickly turn around to see their teammates, fangs sink deep into the flesh of an enemy ninjas arm, his blood splashing on her blue fur.
Despite her hating the taste of human blood. This was the only way she had to fight them.
A loud gasp of pain escapes from the man's lips. As Yukia releases him, allowing him to stumble away from her. The man cradles his injured arm with his uninjured one a nasty sneer in his eyes as he looks back at Yukia.
"Never target my friends again." The wolf snarls loudly. Her fangs bared as she crouched low to the ground.
Yukia keeps watch over the man, she would kill him if he went to attack her friends again the ninja smirks before performing a quick set of hand signs forcing his injured arm to work though it looked to hurt him pretty badly every time he moved it.
"Ninja art: electric bird jutsu," the man shouts. Focusing chakra into his uninjured arm. Electricity quickly begins to form around his muscler arm. The chakra immediately, pulling of his skin and formed into a few small blue electric birds.
Without so much of a warning, birds dart forwards, heading straight for. Yukia, and the five Titans. Loud chirps escaping their lips as they rush towards. Letting out an irritating growl. Yukia slips to her human form, throwing her arms out in front of her.
"You are not going to hurt them," she hissed. As blue energy builds up around her hands. A small bubble quickly surrounds around, Yukia, and, the Titans. Just as the electric birds connect ferociously with the blue shield.
Yukia gritts her teeth. Feeling small currents of electric move through her hands. Despite her shield. She could still fill the hard intensity behind the mans move.
One by one, the birds start to explode. Causing black smoke to rise up and surround around the girl's shield.
A triumph grin comes over the mans face. As he stares back over at the black smoke, that had consumed that blue thing. That girl was way too easy. There was no way that blue thing of hers would protect her from his powerful chakra filled attack.
Feeling that he won, the man goes to jump onto a nearby building. Only to end up suddenly falling forwards. Face planting the ground with a loud thud. A low hiss escaping from the man's lips. Having landed with his injured hand underneath him. Turning his head to the side. The man spots. His new opponent.
A poisonous look, on the red-headed boy's face, his arms crossed casually over his chest. Watching the man carelessly as he tries to stand back up. Not realizing he was trapped. The man ends up falling forwards once again.
A bewildered look coming to his face, as he tries to frantically get away from whatever it was around him. To no avail, he wasn't getting away. Sand quickly makes its way up the mans body, completely covering him from head to toe.
"Sand coffin," Gaara hissed, squeezing his right hand into a tight fist.
A loud screech of pain escapes from the mans lips. As the sand around him tightens, squeezing the live out of him literally. Suddenly, the mans blood splatters around the area, soaking the ground, and a few surrounding buildings. The sand had easily crushed, the man into a million pieces.
Gaara's eyes turn back to where. Yukia and the Titans had been standing. The blacksmoke still lingered around them. So he really couldn't tell if she was ok or not.
A few short seconds pasted and, the smoke finally began to clear up. Yukia's shield slowly starts to come into view.
With her and the Titans behind it completely unharmed. Yukia smiles brightly when her blue eyes land on Gaara, her shield vanishing almost instantly. When she moves her hands back to her side.
"That was close," Beastboy says brightly, wiping invisible sweet from his brow as he slings an arm over his teammates neck.
"Thank you, Yukia," the green boy soothes, his hand ruffling up her red hair. She peeks up at him, giving him a small grin.
"What's going on anyway?" Robin questions, seriously. His masked eyes looking over the village as the hard rain continues to fall. From the dark clouds above, it didn't seem like there was a sign of it stopping anytime soon.
"The leaf is under attack," Gaara tells him in a calming voice, his teal eyes looking over as a few more leaf ninjas leap over a couple nearby roof tops.
"We must assist our friends," Starfire declares worryingly.
"Don't worry, Star, we will," Robin assures her gently.
"I can't fight right now" Cyborg puts in his head low to the ground he hated admitting he wouldn't be able to help "since I don't have a way to charge my sonic Cannon and I have no other weapons to use I would be just in the way"
Yukia gently rubs her massive head against the robotic teens' shoulder comfortingly. Having gone back to her wolf form already and Gaining the robotic teens' attention
"No, you wouldn't, whatever you could do to help I'm sure Lady Tsunade would be appreciated" She tells him with a wink she walks past the robotic teen who seems to smile at her words.
"You're right." Cyborg agrees with a nod of his head. A determined look making its way onto his face.
Yukia stops besides, Gaara her blue eyes gazing at him from her lashes, another wolfish grin coming to her lips though if she was in her human form she was sure she would have blushed at his eyes looking back into hers
"Thanks for the help." She muses her tail, wagging slightly behind her.
Jumping forward without warning Yukia's, claws slash at another enemy ninjas shoulder, the ninja having come out of nowhere. Her sharp nails cut easily into the man's chest, almost like sharp needles, blood quickly coming to the service of the mans wounds.
The ninja quickly jumps away from the huge wolf, gritting his teeth in pain. Reaching back into his weapon pouch. He pulls out a kunia.
Focusing his chakra into the sharp knife. he quickly throws it towards the huge wolf, his chakra giving it a little more speed. Being a little too late to jump out of the way the kunai slices across Yukia's cheek, a small Yelp coming from her lips. She lands on all fours in a crouched position, her blue eyes glaring at the ninja.
Blood now barely drips from her cheek. The man reaches back into his pouch and pulls out more kunai's focusing more chakra into the sharp blades. He then pulls his arm back and throws them at the huge wolf again.
However, a sudden blue bubble quickly shoots up around her. As the kunai's come close, they hit the blue shield and clatter to the ground. The man's eyes widen in shock, scratching the back of his head, trying to figure out what happened. How did she do that he didn't see her build up chakra. As soon as it was there, the blue bubble thing vanished.
A low growl rolls from her throat as she stares back at the man. Watching him as he does a back handspring, getting a few more distances away from her. He then begins performing a few hand signs, his chakra beginning to build up in the back of his throat.
"Fire style, fire bat jutsu," He shouts. As he then opens his mouth, releasing a few fire-filled chakra balls, in a matter of seconds, the fire balls turn into fiery bats flying around in front of the man, glowing eyes staring back at Yukia
The bats let out a loud Shrek before suddenly darting towards the huge wolf. Yukia sways quickly to the side, desperately trying not to let the fire bats touch her.
