When worlds collide
~Chapter 13~
Third person
...
Standing at the gates of the village, the Titans await. With heavy backpacks slung over their shoulders. A sleeping bag and a few small food items were held in each backpack.
Yukia stood against the village gate, her arms crossed over her chest, her blue eyes gazing out into the forest that surrounded the leaf village, an unsure look on her face. Despite Robin saying they would be just fine and a few ninjas hopefully coming with them, she still felt nervous. What if something bad happens to them? Almost like Starfire had read her mind. She speaks up.
"We're going to be the ok friend, Yukia," she assures determinedly. Floating a little above the gates, her eyes flashing with interest. As she gazes over the huge forest on either side of the leaf.
"Besides, it's nice to be able to get out of the hotel room." Beastboy soothes sounding a bit happy. "At least for a while, it's boring sitting around all day,"
Raven stood by the gate beside Yukia, her purple eyes reading over the book in her hand rather quickly. Yukia could only guess the book was getting interesting. If how fast the female Titan was reading was anything to go on.
"No messing around, Got it! Despite the mission seeming easy, " Robin orders his masked eyes gazing over his friends in turn. "I don't want any of you getting hurt,"
"My thoughts exactly," Yukia puts in with a slight shake of her head, her eyes casting over the titans.
"Will be just fine, like Star said," Cyborg chimes in loudly, his fists playfully punching at the air.
"Plus, will be getting a few friends to come along with us," Starfire points out wisely. As she lands on the ground by Robin, who looks over at her with a small grin, coming over his lips.
"Let's just focus on the mission," Raven mutters boredly, casting her eyes up from her book at the sound of approaching footsteps.
Putting a bookmark in her book, she closes it slowly and places the book back in her backpack. Lady Tsunade walks up a brown-haired kid walking beside her his brown eyes focused on the ground as he follows behind her.
"Right on time, I see." The blonde woman starts dryly her Carmel eyes looking over the six teens in front of her
"This is the client where supposed to take home." She explains her eyes, flicking down to the boy at her side an annoyed look clearly written on her face
"These weirdos are my escorts?" he questions in a whiney voice, his deep brown eyes looking over the Titans. an unimpressed look crossing his face.
"I might just stay here till something better comes along," He mumbles loudly. His nose up in the air, arms crossed over his chest. Lady Tsunade rolls her eyes irritable.
"I'm sorry, but this is all we have at the moment," She explains rudely. Not caring if she hurt the kids' feelings or not. She had enough of his snitty remarks.
A disbelief look crosses the boy's face. However, before he could go to argue with her. The Hokage turns to walk back into the village, almost seeming like she was trying to desperately get away from the small child. If her fast walking was anything to go by.
"Make sure he gets home as quickly as possible" She shouts back at the titans, not once looking back at them. The woman easily disappearing into thecrowded street, a sweet drop rolling down the side of the Titans, faces as the kid stomps his feet on the ground childishly, fake tears rolling from his eyes
"I don't want to go with them," He pouts loudly, his bottom lip trembling as he sobs "there creepy looking."
Yukia snaps her head towards the boy, a low growl rolling from her throat in a quick flash. She was standing in front of him. Her eyes glaring dangerously down into his brown ones.
"I would shut that big trap of yours right now, if I were you." She snaps in his face, her fangs slightly poking out the side of her mouth. The boy sweet drops up at her and slowly backs away. "Or I will be more than happy to shut you up myself.."
"That won't be necessary." A ruff voice cuts in from behind her just as something wraps around her stomach and easily pulls her away from the now terrified boy.
Yukia was laid a few meters away, her eyes gazing down at a few grains of sand wrapped around her stomach. The sand slowly retreats from around her body.
"You can't kill the client." Another voice speaks up sarcastically, "where supposed to take him home, not threaten his life"
"Even though I have to admit he is annoying," another one puts in dully.
Yukia looks up, spotting an unimpressed Gaara standing before her his arms crossed over his chest, he Seemed to be shaking his head at her or at least that's what it looked like to her..
Flicking her eyes to the side of him, she easily spots Kankuro and Temari standing beside him an amused look on Kankuro's face as he watches her. By the exit of the village, a stoic looking Neji stood with his silver eyes watching Yukia boredly. Lee, and Tenten, stood on either side of him as well.
The Titans glance back at Yukia sighs of relief coming from their lips. They all knew very well how protective she could get over them, especially if someone talked bad about them.
They highly doubted she would actually hurt this kid despite how annoying he was. But in any case, it was better safe than sorry. Yukia was very unpredictable at times. Thankfully, the boy had fallen silent, his brown eyes constantly watching Yukia, as she gets back to her feet.
"No killing the client," Kankuro repeats pointedly. his eyes teasingly on Yukia.
Crossing her arms over her chest as she looks away from the group. A deep scowl coming over her face.
"Fine," She eventually mumbles under her breath rudely. Before glaring over at the young boy warningly. "Just tell him not to talk about my friends and will be fine,"
"Anyways, let's go over the traveling arrangements." Neji decides changing the subject and gaining everyone's attention.
"Yukia, can go in front of the group, if she would, I have noticed how good your scent of smell is" he explains his reason, while sending the girl a small glance, from the corner of his eye
Yukia barely shakes her head at this. Cracking her knuckles. Before slipping into her wolf form. A small cooling breeze blows by. Blowing the blue fur on her back steadily. Making her eyes partly close. The breeze felt so nice running through her thick fur.
The boy quickly moves away from the now huge wolf in front of him, his brown eyes widening in silent fear.
Robin, let's out a sigh, his masked eyes flicking down to the small boy. He couldn't blame him for being afraid of Yukia now, but seriously, she wasn't even trying to hurt him.
"She isn't going to hurt you," He tells the child lowly. His voice calm.
Yukia ruffles up the fur around her neck, making herself look bigger than she was, her blue eyes glaring darkly back to the boy who starts to whimper lowly. Robin again shakes his head. She really wasn't helping matters none.
"Beastboy can follow after her as well. He can also help with tracking enemies," Robin suggests seriously, while sending Yukia, a warning look.
Only for her to send him an innocent look, her ears flatting against her head rather cutely. Robin only rolls his eyes once more, his hand running through his black hair as he sighs. He knows she was trying to creep the kid out on purpose. Her innocent look wasn't fooling him one bit.
Beastboy strolls over to where Yukia is standing, copying her by cracking his knuckles before he too turns into a green wolf. A small grin coming over the green teens' lips. As Yukia giggles at him.
The kid backs further away from the two wolves now standing before him hiding himself slightly behind Kankuro, who seems to only shake his head down at the boy.
"I'll be at the back with my Byakugan to make sure enemies don't sneak up behind us," Neji puts in casually, getting small nods of understanding from everyone.
"Gaara, Temari, and I will be up in the trees," Kankuro proclaims proudly.
"As look outs," Temari decides to finish for her brother, her eyes slightly rolling at him.
Gaara glances over to Yukia a small smile coming to his lips as he watches, Tenten gently rub her hand through the top of Yukia's head, a loud happy squeal coming from the brunettes lips her eyes seeming to sparkle.
"Yukia! you got some of the softest fur. " Tenten squeals happily, her arms going to wrap around the wolves' huge neck.
Yukia's neck was quite big in this form, which really made it hard for Tenten to wrap her arms completely around her neck, so halfway had to work.
A wolfish grin comes to Yukia's lips her tail seeming to wag slightly behind her as she glances down at the brunette Yukia, really didn't seem to care much about being petted if she had to be honest, it sometimes felt quiet nice.
"Tenten and Lee will be in the middle as sort of a hard fighting team." Neji continues his silver eyes, looking towards his two teammates. Getting a few nods from them both.
"I can stay with them as well," Cyborg puts in, getting a lazy shake of the head from the dark-haired boy.
"Me Starfire and Raven will follow behind Yukia and Beastboy, the kid can come with us." Robin puts in. Raven and Starfire both shake their heads at that.
The kid crosses is arms childishly over his chest, a few words being mumbled under his breath, being careful not to talk to loudly he didn't want that girl back in his face she was so rude. Though when he peeks his eyes up towards her, noticing her glaring towards him, he could have sworn she heard him, and once again, he hides himself behind.
Kankuro, like the taller male, would actually protect him if they didn't have to protect him. Kankuro would be more than happy to watch Yukia scare him, though she seemed to have no problem with doing that now, actually.
That is until Gaara steps in front of her, blocking her view of the small child. An innocent look once again, coming over her face as she gazes back at him, her ears flattening against her head. An unimpressed look clued to the attractive boy's face.
"Stop," he tells her in an emotionless voice a pouty look comes over the girls face. Though she remains quite, she is not able to argue with him for some reason.
"Alrighty then, let's head out," Lee explodes loudly without warning, Lee turns to head towards the forest.
However, he was quickly stopped by Tenten who had somehow managed to grab hold of the boys collar to his green jumpsuit, struggling to hold the inpatient male in place, they still had to tell the Titans where to go and possible give them a map.
"We will be heading to the land of grass it's a few days away from the leaf village," Neji explains mostly to the Titans. He hands over a map to Robin, the place they were going had already been circled in a bright red ink.
"The kid is a very important client his parents sometimes helps our village with medical herbs and other important healing ointments." Tenten decides to put in thinking it was some good information for the Titans to remember.
"Hear that, Yukia, that means no killing him." Kankuro decides to tease the girl, only to get a small annoyed scowl from the huge wolf, her teeth baring slightly in his direction.
"I promise nothing," she growls, lowly getting an amused chuckle from the male.
"Got it," Robin mutters Dryly, his head nodding at Tenten words.
Yukia and Beastboy quickly take off out of the gates their muzzles raised up in the air already keeping on lookout for any signs of unseen enemies, Robin Starfire Raven and the kid who Robin decides to carry on his back to make traveling easier. Follow behind them
"What is your name anyways?" Robin asked the boy as he ran his masked eyes, raising slightly.
"It's Soto," the kid answered
unenthusiastically. His brown eyes rolling in annoyance.
Lee Tenten and Cyborg quickly come up behind them with Neji taking up the rear his byagugon activated. Gaara Kankuro and Temari had already disappeared into the trees above, keeping themselves very well hidden.
...
Yukia and Beastboy trudge along their muzzles held up in the air. Making sure no enemies would come out and attack them, luckily, no one had yet. Robin walks behind them, his ribs feeling quite sore due to getting kicked several times in the side by the annoying boy on his back. He glares a little back at Soto, though hidden by his mask.
Soto easily ignores the glares aimed at him and continues to kick Robin's sides like he was some kind of two-legged horse. Starfire and Raven walk float beside him, an annoying look evident on Raven's face ever since they had left the leaf village all the boy did was whine and complain, Raven would have loved to send him off some place else a distant dimension would work nicely. Starfire, on the other hand, was not really bothered by him.
"I'm tired let's take a break" Soto whines loudly in Robin's ear almost bursting the spikey boy's eardrum or at least that's what it felt like to Robin, an anime vein pulses on the side of Robin's head.
"Gladly," the Titan leader mumbles rudely under his breath.
Moving his hands from around Soto who's eyes had gotten awfully wide, having not been expected Robin to just let him go, he falls to the ground with a small thud, a few tears rolling from his eyes, as he rubs at his butt. Soto glares up at Robin, who easily ignores him. It wasn't Robin's fault Soto had not been holding on to him. He should have been paying attention.
"Beastboy, Yukia," He shouts up at the two wolves who stop in their tracks at his voice they both glance back at him, questionable looks crossing their wolf faces "Were taking a break"
Starfire and Raven land beside him, with Cyborg running over to them.
Lee and Tenten jump down from the trees landing on the ground safely, thanks to their chakra. Neji deactivates his Byakugan for now, feeling drained from using it for such a long amount of time.
Gaara lands on a low branch, leaning his back against the bark of the tree, his arms going over his chest almost instinctively.
Temari jumps down from the tree she was in, landing in a crouched position on the ground, before slowly rising to her feet. With Kankuro easily landing on the ground a few meters away from her. he turns around and strolls over to his sister.
Beastboy strolls over to the other Titans, shifting to his human form as he walks closer. Yukia remains in her wolf form, a troubled feeling crossing over her. As she looked over her shoulder back in the direction, they were headed.
Everyone pulls their backpacks of taking out their sleeping bags and laying them out on the ground. Starfire and Robin decide to share a sleeping bag that way Soto had one to sleep in as well.
"Who will be on lookout?" Kankuro asked dryly, his eyes looking over the group before him questionable.
Neji lets out a bored sigh before focusing a small amount of chakra into his legs. And jumping up into the trees. Easily disappearing into the thick brush.
"I can to," Yukia decides. Silently walking away. Not waiting around for anyone to say or do anything.
The girl plops down beside a huge rock, her eyes gazing out into the dark forest. Ears twitching back as she listens to the different sounds. Resting her head on the top of her front paws. Though her eyes remain on the forest. What was this evil scent she kept smelling? it was very unfamiliar to her.
"Should we really trust her?" Soto questions scowling nastily over at the blue wolf unsurely.
"Yes," Beast boy answers. Sounding uncharacteristicly rude. His eyes rolling. As he sits back in his sleeping bag.
Yukia had been with them a while now, and Beastboy knew without a doubt in his mind. She'd do anything for him. And her other friends even give her life for them. Why would he not trust her?
...
Starfire and Robin walk through the small forest having decided to get a few things of firewood at least for the night Robin held her hand gently in his as they walked they had already managed to find a few long twigs he cast his masked eyes at her a light blush coming to his cheeks he couldn't shake away the thoughts that swirled around his head, not only was she his best friend but he cared deeply about her.
"Friend Robin, should we head back now?" Her sweet voice rings in his ears like a soft flute being played almost repeatedly.
Robin quickly shakes his head. glancing back in the direction they were headed in.
"Let's gather a few more twigs," He tells her gently, her head nodding at his words he could feel her hand tighten a little around his. Making his hand squeeze hers right back.
"OK," She replies with a bright smile coming to her lips.
The walk falls into a comfortable silence. Robin's eyes flick to the Tamerainan girl walking beside him. He comes to a stop, causing Starfire to also stop beside him. her emerald eyes gaze back at him questionable, Robin could feel his heart pound in his chest as he looks back at her. Those beautiful eyes sending ripples through his heart.
"Starfire?" He says her name in a low question.
"Yes, friend Robin?" There's that sweet voice of hers again. He would never get tired of her voice.
"You do realize you're my best friend, right?" He questions gently. his eyes narrowing slightly under his mask. A bright smile graces the girls lips. Her sweet smile making his heart melt all over again.
"And you are mine," She tells him softly. A bright sparkle seems to shine in her eyes.
"I don't ever want to lose you," He tells her honestly. His brows raising under his mask.
Starfire tightens her grip around his hand. A sudden numbness seeming to come over the boys hand. Her grip was very strong.
Robin, for now, easily ignores the numbness. Focusing on something else. Leaning closer to the beautiful girl standing before him. Her head seeming to be inching closer to him as well.
Robin's lips gently land on hers, the heart in his chest drumming loudly in his ears drowning out all the other noises around them.
Starfire knew well that this kiss was different from when they first met. It was desperate, worried he was worried for her, and wrapped her arms around his neck. Feeling his arms go around her waist, he pulled her closer to him. The kiss slowly deepens as their lips move in sync.
A low peaceful groan comes from Robin's lips. With Starfire melting farther into his arms. His strong muscular arms making her feel safer than she had in a long while.
After a few more seconds, Robin gently pulls away from her, a tender smile on his lips as he continues to watch her, both of them breathing out heavily. Robin still had his arms wrapped around her waist, his masked eyes gazing right into her green ones.
"We should head back," He murmurs thoughtfully. "The others might get worried,"
Unable to speak, Starfire nods her head in agreement but if she was honest, she wanted to stay out here with him longer she loved being close to him like this he was always so serious around her and the others the only time he showed his gentler side was when him and her where alone. Robin removes his arms from around her and intertwine his fingers with hers. Easily tugging her along behind him. And, picking up their wood that had somehow ended up on the ground at their feet.
...
Yukia looks up at the sound of footsteps, spotting Robin and Starfire walking out of the forest. A few twigs in Robin's arms, and he sits them on the ground. Before him and Starfire walk to the sleeping bag they were going to share, the spikey-haired boy lays down first, lifting the covers up. He allows Starfire to lay beside him she cuddles into his chest, her green eyes casting up to him sleepily, a light grin crosses Yukia's lips at the two titans affection manner towards each other.
Tenten stands up suddenly from her sleeping bag. pulling out a long white and brown scroll. Laying it carefully on the ground. She places a finger on the scrolls writing. And, allows her chakra to be. focused into it.
A sudden white smoke puffs up around the scrolls, blocking them from view for a short second. As the smoke disperses into the air. A small fire flicks up around the small twigs. Robin and Srarfire had brought.
The fire instantly lighting the area in a warm yellowish light.
"That was amazing, Tenten." Lee chimes up loudly. His big eyes sparked in amazement.
"Thank you, Lee." Tenten soothes happily. As she lays back down in her sleeoing bag. Cuddling into the nice warmth.
The fire crackles softly as the twigs begin to break in half. Raven lays in her sleeping bag, her purple eyes reading over the book in front of her. Resting her head comfortably on top of her hand. A far away look in her irises.
Cyborg lays against a tree, his robotic eyes trying to see the stars through the thick brush above. But to no avail, the trees were way too thick here. Heavying out a sigh, Cyborg shakes his head. Deciding to gaze into the fire instead.
Gaara still stood up in the tree. He'd been standing there for hours now. With his teal eyes constantly flicking over to Yukia. A troubled look clearly written on her face.
Maybe he could go check up on her make sure she's ok? Yukia peeks her eyes towards him, having felt herself being watched. She smiles a wolfish grin at him before looking back into the darkness of the forest, her eyes narrowing. Jumping down from the tree, he walks over to her.
"What's wrong?" Gaara asked her in a somewhat low voice. Not wanting anyone to hear his concern, For her.
Yukia's head not once turning to face him, her eyes still focused on the forest in front of them, her brows knitting together in frustration. He internally hoped he wasn't annoying her. Maybe he should have left her alone. But for some reason, he just couldn't.
"I'm not sure," she finally answers him. Shifting to her human form. Letting out a sigh. She gazes over at him troublingly. "I'm picking up a scent, but I can't tell if it's coming this way or not. It keeps changing directions. "
Gaara narrows his eyes at her words before turning his head towards the forest. What had she managed to pick up? Her scents of smell was so strong that there was really no telling.
Yukia jumps up in fright. Feeling something suddenly take hold of her hand, holding it tightly. Peeking her eyes down, curious about what had a hold of her hand.
Yukia's blue eyes shoot wide open at the hand surrounding hers. Tilting her head up, she sends the boy standing beside her an unsure look, a small heat feeling in her cheeks. And, despite him not even sparing her a glance back. His teal eyes remained focused on the dark forest in front of them.
Yukia, could still make out the small tint of pink that slowly covered over his cheeks he couldn't hide it from her, especially when she was standing right beside him, why did he have to be so cute?
Smiling up at him, Yukia turns her head back towards the forest, her hand barely squeezing his reassuringly. How was it that holding his hand seemed to calm her nervous way down? How was it possible that her nervous just go away at something so simple? It was unclear to her.
"Thank you, Gaara," Yukia whispers gracefully. Feeling him gaze down at her. Making her cheeks burn up again.
"You see that?" Temari questions lowly from her sleeping bag. Her head tilting over to her brother. It was strange seeing her little brother being so gentle towards someone. Kankuro watches the two from his spot beside her, a devious smirk playing on his lips.
"It's weird seeing him be like that," he admits with a device smirk. his eyes turn to gaze over at his sister. Wanting nothing more than to go pick on his young brother.
"Don't go messing with him, Kankuro," Temari sneers warningly. Almost like she had read his mind. "Leave them be."
"I would never bother them," he says innocently, getting a warning look from his sister.
"I know you better," she points out darkly, rubbing a hand over her fan threateningly. Kankuro chuckles humorously. A sweat bead on the side of his head
"I'll leave them alone for know," he insures her innocently.
Temari gives him one more warning glare before shaking her head. She could only hope Kankuro would keep to his word, but knowing him. He was just biting his time. It was going to kill him not to go pick on Gaara.
A sudden loud explosion from in front of them causes both teens to go quite their heads immediately snapping back, to where Gaara and Yukia stood. A thick dark cloud of snoke, surrounded around them. Hiding them from sight.
"Gaara!!!" Kankuro shouts, at the same time Robin, cries out 'Yukia's' name. Panic heard clear in their voices.
Everyone quickly climbs out of their sleeping bags. Worry clearly, written over their faces. Lee and Tenten peek there eyes up into the trees, hearing loud noises coming from the higher elevations.
Hopefully, Neji was ok. Lee nor Tenten could see him from their spots on the ground. But it was Neji he was strong, right?
All five titans relax when the dark smoke finally dissolves. A huge ball of yellow sand immediately appears in their line of sight. Noting that the sand around their young teammate was possibly Gaara's. Which meant Yukia was safe.
"Thank goodness," Starfire, breaths out relievingly. The other titans seeming to relax as well.
"There ok," Kankuro sighs, with his hand wiping away invisible sweet ftom his forehead.
"Look," Tenten chirps lowly, her hand pointing towards a couple weird looking human creatures heading speedily towards them. "We have trouble,"
"What are those things?" Lee wonders loudly. Jumping out of the way just as a kunia swishes passed his head. A loud thung coming from a tree as the weapon buries deep into the bark.
"Seems we have a fight on our hands," Beastboy points out with a tired sigh escaping his lips. Just when he was getting comfortable too.
"Seems like it," Raven speaks up in her normal monatoned voice.
The sand around Yukia and Gaara. Falls down around them. Revealing them to be unharmed. Small shifts of sand now floating protectively around their feet.
"Thank you," Yukia replies lowly. Gaara's head barely nodding at her words.
The girl swiftly takes on her wolf form. Baring her sharp teeth at the oncoming threat heading towards them.
...
Neji sits up in the trees, hiding behind a couple of thick leaves. He narrows his eyes, trying hard to focus on the unfamiliar chakra that seemed to come in and out of his eye range. He couldn't tell who it was they moved rather quickly for his eyes to track the only thing he could see was there chakra networks and long strain of blonde flock hair he sits up in a crouched position noticing the person was beginning to come closer lifting his hand up he focus some chakra, into the chakra points on his hands.
"Eight Trigrams air palm," He shouts Lowly wind chakra quickly swirls around his hand a minute before thrusting into the trees.
A couple trees snap in half as his chakra wind cuts through his move continues on its track towards the approaching new comer, it collides hard into their chest a surprised screech coming from their lips the new comer shoots backwards hitting a couple small trees before colliding hard into a tall tree trunk sucking in a breath they let out a painful grunt before pushing them self's back to their feet.
The girl looks around, sneering dangerously into the trees. Neji soon realized the newcomer was actually a girl thanks to his eyes he was able to make out. The long blonde hair that Cascades halfway down her back.
A white Anbu black ops tiger mask covered her face. The only thing Neji was able to see on the girls face was her deep green eyes shining through, the two small eye holes. The girls expression seemed hard as she searched for the unseen attacker.
Neji obviously had the upper hand. She hadn't spotted him yet.
Barely tilting his head towards the ground, hearing the loud shouts of his friends below. Neji, inwardly hoped they were ok. Shaking his head, he snaps his attention back to the girl in front of him. His pale eyes narrowed as he noticed a huge amount of chakra building up inside her throat.
Opening her mouth wide. The girl shoots out two huge balls of chakra fueled fire. As the girl continues to flow her chakra into the huge balls of flames. Neji widens his eyes as the fire balls form into two snarling tigers.
There Eyes blazing with rage. They both release loud roars up into the trees. Both felines dart up into the trees instantly, vanishing from sight. Neji continues to watch her from his hiding spot. Not wanting to give his location up. he knew he had to stay calm right now. Those fire beasts might have been some kind of heat sinceres. And if he panicked. Watchung the girl as she performs another set of complex hand signs. Neji, stiffens, what was she playing at?
Neji could see her chakra spark steadily around her small body. Flicking on and off her skin.
"Lighting style and fire style," Neji concludes to himself. "So that's her two natures, interesting"
Watching as the lighting around the girls body suddenly separates from her. Her arms moving up above her head, with the lighting following her movements.
"You coward," the girl suddenly shouts. Surprising the young hyuga slightly. Thrusting her arm forwards. The girl releases. A huge bolt of chakra fueled lightning. Shoots out at blinding speed, heading straight towards Neji. "Quit your hiding,"
How did she know where he was? She must have been a sensory type shinobi. Jumping to his feet, Neji swiftly jumps into action.
"Eight trigram; palm rotation," He shouts frantically. Starting to spin around fast. Releasing his chakra in a huge burst. With his spinning staring to increase.
As the chakra filled electricity collides heavily with Neji's chakra shield. It immediately explodes. Knocking him a bit backwards. That girl had some pretty stromg chakra, he had to admit. But thanks to his chakra shield, Neji was safe from any immediate harm.
Neji slowly stops his spinning his chakra. Dying down from around his body. Just as the girl jumps down in front of him. Causing the male to take a couple steps back. Not liking her being this close. Her green eyes darkly scowling back at him.
"Stupid leaf ninja." She spits darkly. As her eyes flick to the headband tied around his forehead. Neji smirks back at her proudly, his Byakugan not leaving her at all.
"What of it?" He barks challengingly. Who was this girl? One of His eyes spots a headband on her right shoulder blade, Neji barely tilts his head to get a better look at the symbol, his eyes widening a little in shock.
"The land of sound" He growls lowly, so she was with Orochimaru?
A loud snarl comes from. His side, his head snapping towards the chakra filled tiger. Its teeth bared as it leaps towards him its mouth agape, Neji quickly darts to the side, dodging the fire creature in the nick of time.
However, the tiger was quick to respond and turns to face him it leaps towards him again. Giving him no time to build up his chakra. The fiery creature collides hard into his chest. Its sharp teeth clamping down on his arm, Neji lets out a painful shout as the tiger burns into his body flakes of flesh, easily burning off. He lands in a heap against a tall tree trunk. The fiery tiger vanishes into a puff of white smoke.
Neji closes his eyes a pain-filled look on his face. The girl in front of him smirks darkly satisfied with hurting the young Hyuga her other tiger snarls from close by Neji. It slouches on the branch before leaping. Forward its mouth opened wide. The tiger aims for the silver-eyed boys' unprotected throat going for the final blow. Neji barely opens his eyes, spotting the tiger coming towards him. Begrudgingly pushing himself up. by using the tree he had crashed into.
Neji grits his teeth, trying hard to hide the pain. he had to ignore it, for now. he focuses his chakra into his chakra points, preparing to do another rotation, but before he could do anything. something round, and, green collides with the tiger's chest sending it flying backwards, it slams hard into another tree exploding on impact, sending burnt wood, bark, and, splinters flying in all directions. the sound ninjas eyes widen slightly under her mask, at the floating girl now in front of her, she was quite shocked how was she flying?
Starfire fires a few more star bolts at the blonde girl hoping to get her away from the hurt Neji who slumps back down by the tree, the masked girl quickly jumps to the side dodging the green balls of energy with ease. Landing on another branch a few feet away. Yukia appears suddenly up beside Neji bending down beside him, her hands glowing a blue color as they move to his burnt chest.
The silver-eyed boy narrows his eyes at her, Winching slightly at her touch on his burnt skin, even though she was being as gentle as she possible could. The wound was so tender and painful. It really hurt him, sending the hyuga a small apologetic look.
Yukia focuses her mind back on healing him. The masked girl rolls her eyes in annoyance. Who were these people? they didn't have headbands, not that the blonde girl could see anyway. She would kill them if they were allied with the leaf village which looked to be the case doing a few hand sighs she focuses more chakra into the back of her throat, her mouth gaping open as two more fireballs shoot out forming quickly into snarling tigers putting her hands on the tigers back she focuses her lighting nature chakra into them electricity courses over the fiery tigers sparkling up brightly with chakra filled electricity the huge tigers bend lowly before pouncing up into the trees
"What's going on down below?" Neji questions trying to ignore the small pain in his chest by talking.
Yukia keeps her focus on healing his burnt wound. Knowing if she lost her focus, she could mess up, and she didn't want to mess up.
"Everyone is fighting off some weird creature thingy's I'm not sure what they are" Yukia answers him her eyes flicking to the blonde girls head band a minute before going back to Neji's burnt skin. "But they all have the same symbol on their head bands as hers,"
"I see," Neji grumbles lowly.
A loud snarl suddenly comes from behind the red-headed girl. Her head snapping over her shoulders, spotting one of the fiery electric tigers looming on a nearby branch close to her. The creature crouches low, preparing to leap towards her its sharp teeth bared.
Yukia was unable to build up her energy to make a shield right now, not with her trying to heal Neji.
Putting Neji's arm around her neck. Yukia quickly leaps away from the tree they were in. Neji slung barely over her shoulder. The fiery tiger collides with the tree behind them.
Exploding on impact. Yukia could feel the heat of the explosion scorch against her back a pained look crossing her face. She jumps down from the trees. Helping Neji to sit back down against the trunk of another tree.
Focusing her blue energy back into her hands, she refocuses her attention on healing him up again. Ignoring the stinging pain in her oen body.
"I'm not good at healing burns," She murmurs to herself, more than to him. Her eyes slightly hooded as they inspected the burnt skin. Watching flakes of skin falling away from the boys' flesh.
Getting a simple nod of understanding from the Hyuga. She just saved him from being burned alive. She could have easily left him up there to die in that tree. But instead, she saved him even though she two got hurt. Neji was silently grateful to her for that. Though his pride prevented him from saying much on it.
"Will he be ok?" Tenten questions as she jumps down in front of them, having decided to keep enemies from getting to the two teens. Neji was her teammate. After all, she didn't want him hurt even further than he was already.
"Yes, he'll be fine," Yukia answered lowly, her mind still focused on healing him up.
"Now please, no more interruptions," Yukia requests gently, not wanting to sound mean. "I need to focus on healing, I don't want to mess up,"
Getting a small nod from the brunette. Tenten pulls out a few small scrolls from her weapon pouch. Jumping into the air. Tenten focuses her chakra into the scrolls as she starts to spin around a white smoke puffing up around her, shielding her a minute from sight. Abundance of weapons shoot out from her scrolls heading straight towards a couple of weird-looking humans. Most of them had huge inhuman muscles their eyes were wide and crazy looking, and if she had to be honest.
Tenten was quite bothered by them. A loud Shriek escapes a couple of their lips when Tenten's weapons embed into their flesh blood quickly, squirting out from their wounds splashing on the ground.
Tenten lands on the ground in a crouch position, flicking her eyes back to Yukia, who was back on her feet, her breathing coming out a bit heavy, her hands resting on her knees Tenten glances towards where her teammate had been sitting relief going down her spine when she sees Neji back on his feet, the burn on his chest. Was mostly healed except for a few small scars.
Yukia did say she wasn't good at healing burnt wounds, but it looked pretty good to Tenten. Of course, if Neji wanted them fully healed, he would have to get Lady Tsunade to treat them.
Yukia now stood in front of Beastboy in a rather defensive stance a huge cut was sliced across the green boys shoulder, blood slowly oozing out of the wound, Beastboy uses the tree to get back to his feet trying hard to ignore the sharp pain that came to his shoulder as he does so, a tall orange-haired man stood across from Yukia a crazed look in his eyes as he sneers back at her. She lets out a low growl, baring her sharp teeth, warning him to stay back. Though it didn't seem like he got the hint without warning, he runs towards the two teens.
"I'll heal you just let me finish this thing off," Yukia tells the green boy standing behind her. She is just about to shift to her wolf,
When a powerful chakra filled wind cuts through, knocking the unexpected man backwards back into the huge boulder. He had previously knocked into this time the bolder breaks in half, and the orange haired man continues to fly back, only stopping when he slams into a tree. Slumping to the ground, a low groan coming from his lips.
Both Yukia and Beastboy turn their heads towards Temari. She was crouched up in a tree, her eyes flicking to the red-headed girl. Yukia nods her head in silent thanks, before turning to walk over to the green boy behind her, blue energy already Flowing into her hands, she gently places her hands on the green boys shoulder, causing him to inhaul sharply a low hiss coming from his lips.
"I'm sorry, BB," Yukia whispers lowly, her eyes narrowing as she continues to focus on healing him.
"It's ok," He murmurs in a low pained voice. Though
It was clear he was not ok.
Temari jumps down from the tree focusing more chakra into her fan she sways it back and forth releasing another powerful chakra filled wind the wind collides with a couple more humanoid creatures loud screams of pain comes from their mouths as the wind easily cuts their arms and legs they all fly back into a couple trees dead.
Yukia stands up a breath coming from her lips, her blue eyes watching Beastboy as he also stands back up without using the tree.
"Your healing is truly amazing." He complements, moving his shoulder back and forth happily. It didn't even hurt him anymore.
Yukia sends the green boy a graceful look. Appreciating the praise he had given her. She then turns her head back towards the battle at hand
"Are you healing people?" He asked her curiously, her head nodding again at his words.
"Yeah, I'm trying to keep everyone good and healed the best that I can," she tells him, sending him a small look before darting into the battlefield, to find more injured.
Cyborg crashes into the ground with a loud thud a small Crater forming below him he lets out a painful grunt as he sits up it was hard to fight without his sonic Cannon, but he was trying very hard not to us it he rolls to the side a dark haired humanoid creature slams its heel into the ground the small crater.
Cyborg had made Earlier grows a bit bigger the robotic teen gets to his feet begrudgingly the humanoid kicks his leg out trying to trip up the robotic teen however Cyborg sees it coming and does a small backflip getting a distance, the humanoid stands up to his full height he only came to Cyborg's chest aside from the crazy eyes he really wasn't all that scary
Running towards Cyborg again the humanoid aims a powerful punch to the robotic teens face only for Cyborg to catch his fist in his hand he pushes the thing back he really wanted to use his sonic cannon he would give anything to us it right now, but without away to charge it up in this world he couldn't. He already used it up too much he quickly jumped to the side, dodging another kick to the gut.
Cyborg balls his right hand into a tight fist and sends it flying towards the humanoid a grin comes to his robotic lips when his punch connects with the things jaw the humanoid rockets backwards a painful scream coming from his lips he skids along the ground hitting a tree with his head making him come to a stop.
Cyborg wipes some sweet from his forehead before turning to face a new enemy, a sigh escaping from his lips. How many more of these things are there? He hoped the others were having better luck fighting them. Then he was.
