Sona Star's Story

Kakashi nodded. "Gaara. Stop." he stated. The sand around Mei's stomach froze; stopping its constricting movements.
Gaara glanced over at Kansa and Kakashi. "Funs over." he said quietly under his breathe and looked down at Mei. The sand slowly released Mei as if it didn't want to. The sand snaked its way back inside Gaara's gourd, the cork plugged it up again.
Sasuke was surprised that the kick actually hit. 'And he forfeited...?' he thought, even more surprised.
'When does THAT happen?' he thought and chuckled slightly. "Alright. Good match." Sasuke shrugged and walked back to Kakashi. Gaara did the same; standing beside Kansa who was sitting.
Kansa looked up at him. Her brother had a disturbing look in his eyes. "Chill..." Kansa said quietly. Gaara didn't reply.
Kakashi looked from him to Sona then to Mei. "Are you ok?" he called.

"That went really well actually. Everyones still in one piece" Kakashi nodded. "Yay" Kansa laughed jokingly.
"Lets see..." he said softly, going into thought. 'Gaara could work with shadow clones to see how much the sand can take being overwhelmed, Sasuke needs to work on his punches and kicks, Kansa should try to work against the wind instead of use it to her advantage, Sona could test her speed and timing with clones as well, and Sai....' Kakashi thought. 'Ill have to think about him.'
he thought looking directly at Sai. "Alright. So now that everyone has had a good match, lets go train for real. Work on separate things for all of you. Sound good? Or does anyone have something else in mind they would much rather do?"
he asked, staring at each one of them. Gaara stared at Mei for a while then switched his gaze to Kakashi.
"Does it matter?" he asked. "Of course it matters don't be stupid." Kansa chuckled. "No it doesnt" Kakashi corrected.
"I was just asking to see if there was a better idea than mine really. I just want to get you 6 working hard to practice."
Kakashi rubbed the back of his neck. "Really?" Sasuke sighed. 'Typical.' he thought. "How about we just go with your idea."
Sasuke thought. "We're wasting time, he has a point..." Kansa nodded. "Alright then. Try to keep up." Kakashi stated then leaped off into the trees. Kansa and Gaara followed, then Sasuke after taking a quick breathe.
'That actually wore me out... good fight.' Sasuke chuckled in his head.

"Don't underestimate me because I can make sand castles." Gaara said as he jumped. Kansa started laughing.
"It wasn't that funny" Gaara rolled his eyes. "Yeah it was" she snickered ahead of him. 'Idiot.' he thought.
'Sai uses too much chakra though... Ill use that' Sasuke thought, attempting to catch up with his sensei.
'Gaara and Sona are different though... those two are weird. They could have killed there opponents if Kakashi didn't stop them..'
Sasuke thought about the look Gaara's eyes, and he aura that swarmed around Sona. It sent chills up his spine.
"Whatever. Just focus on keeping up." he said to himself and nodded, speeding up.
Kansa looked over at Sona. 'She looks sick...' she thought. Using what speed she had she caught up beside Kakashi, though it was difficult. "Sona looks sick" she said out of breathe. "I wanted to talk to her anyways, don't worry" Kakashi nodded.
Kansa slowed down again to catch her breathe.
Once they reached another forest clearing, Kakashi leaped down. "We did that to get to another clearing?" Kansa asked.
"There was another team nearby, I didn't want to be bothered or distracted. You 6 can do that on your own time." Kakashi nodded. "Also this area has more dirt and rock to use; the trees are thicker as well. It will go with your training."
he nodded. Sasuke furrowed his brows. "I don't get it.." he said. 'Just shut up and listen.' Gaara thought glaring at him.
Kansa nudged his arm. "Chill" she giggled. 'You too.' he thought, but looked over at Mei instead.
"Do you have something planned for us..?" Kansa asked. "For each of you; yes"
Kakashi nodded. "You should work on strategies, you were defeated quickly trying to use brute force with your weapons."
Gaara said bluntly to Mei. "She will be" Kakashi nodded. "Good luck.' Gaara joked without smiling and looked back to Kakashi.
"Sai you'll be working with Genjutsu only. For this you'll be attacking without using any ninjutsu."
Kakashi nodded. "Sasuke your doing the same thing. Gaara You'll be defending against clones." he said.
'Only?" Gaara asked. "Yeah. You can only defend. You can not kill your targets or fight back." Kakashi nodded.
'How stupid.' Gaara thought looking away. "Kansa you will be fighting against your own wind instead of using it as an advantage, and Sona I would like to talk with you before training.' Kakashi said. "Now you 5 spread out." he said, turning to Sona.
"Oh wait, since me and Sai are doing the same thing should we just work together instead of hitting trees and boulders?"
Sasuke asked before walking off. "You two seem slightly uneven but, yeah go for it." Kakashi nodded.
Kansa walked to the center of the clearing. She determined that the air would flow its free-est here, even if the wind was forced. Thus making it easy for her to go against it. Gaara walked to the edge of the forest away from everyone like usual.

Gaara sighed. "Your only setting traps, your not working on concealing yourself. The enemy hasn't come out yet; when you've set enough traps conceal yourself best as possible. That way you can ambush them." Gaara said, waiting for something to come out at him as sand poured around his feet. 'No killing my enemies, what bullshit is that?' he thought.
Kakashi summoned some clones to go after both Gaara and Mei. He also summoned strong winds to Kansa specifically.
Once that was finished, he walked close to Sona and pressed the back of his hand to the girls forehead.
"You have a slight fever. You look pale too; and you weren't able to keep up with me. Are you doing ok?"
he asked in a concerned way. "You seem ill. If you need to stop and rest that's fine; don't wear yourself out."
Kakashi nodded. Gaara didn't move a muscle. As two clones rushed at him the sand blocked there first attacks.
And then all the others. And the others, and the others. He didn't get hit once. 'This is boring. No fighting back.'
he thought. Kakashi's clones rushed towards where they last saw Mei at to see if her trapping strategy really worked.
Sasuke got in his fighting stance. 'Just back and forth sparring then, haven't done this in a while' he thought, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. He threw his first kick, and then attempted a punch combo.
Kansa whipped out her fan and covered his face with her forearms as the wind pressed against her. Her feet stayed planted on the ground as the wind tried pushing her back. 'Wind barricade!' she thought and took a sudden step forward. She lashed out her fan and spun around quickly. She whipped the fan up above her head, and mixing the wind with her chakra she was able to make a barricade against the wind. Once she made the wind disappeared with her own; she stopped spinning.
There was now a small dibit in the ground under her feet that looked like a perfect circle.

Kakashi sighed. "Fine then. Go punch a tree until a dent is made. And don't question me either."
Kakashi said proudly staring at her. 'She wont do it. In her state she'll likely pass out. The trees are too dense here.
It'll take hours for even me to make a dent. "And if you cant do it in under 5 minutes you have to do 500 pushups.
And if you cant do those in 10 minutes you must to 1000 sit ups." Kakashi said, almost like he was mocking Guy.
'Ah I get it. She's out of it; obviously. But she wont admit it. She needs to learn when to stop and rest; or mission will fail because of that." Kakashi thought. 'She needs to know her limit.'
Gaara looked up at them. 'Clones against clones? Not bad. But when your clones are weaker then your opponents...'
he thought as Kakashi's clones 'killed' Mei's clones easily. 'THAT happens.' Gaara thought and snickered.
The sand was doing his bidding; he didn't need to move a muscle. But that was usual.
"If you give someone the feeling of being trapped, what will they do? Panic. She should try to create that state.
Trap the clones; get them to panic slightly; and then she attacks. She wont use up too much chakra and she'll have an easy win."
Gaara said as he watched Mei.
Kakashi looked over to Kansa. "Don't let your guard down." he said. Winds literally pushed her down face first into the ground.
'Damn it....' Kansa thought getting a face full of dirt. She sat up and spat dirt from her mouth. 'My backs exposed. Wind wont do anything but an enemy could' she thought and leaped to her feet; turning around to face where the wind is coming from.
She listened carefully; using her face she spun around and made wind to block herself. Her feet re-planted in the ground.

The Kakashi clones ran after Mei; not even noticing the razor sharp strings. Each of the clones ran right into the strings and popped into dust. 'Clever...' Gaara thought. Eventually all the clones disappeared.
"Easy" Gaara sighed as the sand around him dropped to the ground. "Nice." Gaara said as he looked up at Mei.
'My little Gaara's talking to a girl! No way!' Kansa thought smiling brightly as she fought with the wind.
"Dont wear yourself out, Sona. This is a strategy challenge too. Pay attention to the situation..."
Kakashi said as he read through his book without taking his eyes off it.

"Now you get it." Kakashi sighed walking over to her. He put his hand on her shoulder and stared at tree, then back down at her.
"Why are you trying so hard to push yourself? Your fatigued. I don't understand." he said down to her. "Even when you understand that the tree is very difficult to punch; you still kept trying. Even when your eyes are blurry and your pale and weaker. Why?" he asked. "I can see right through those eyes of yours. You're about to faint, right?"
he asked after.
'Idiot.' Gaara thought. 'Cant even clean up your own trap.' he snickered in his head. Gaara looked over his shoulder at Kakashi and Sona. 'He's busy, and Im bored.' he thought and turned back to Mei. "How about we test our skills. You have to attack me using strategy and I have defend." he said. Gaara didn't really want to train with Mei or practice or whatever.
He was just bored.
Kansa was still fighting the wind. It wouldn't stop coming at her; she was beginning to fall behind. 'Shit, I cant keep up!'
she got whipped in the face; a deep cut ran along her cheek bone near her eye. 'Too close!' she thought and protected her face instinctively as more winds came to attack.

Kakashi sighed. "No, that isn't." he responded and looked back at the tree. "To become a great ninja; one doesnt need to be strong. Doesnt need to be fast. Doesnt need to be excessively intimating or smart. To be a ninja... one needs a lot of heart."
Kakashi stated. "If your don't have heart, you don't have fight. Fight can mean anything you want it to. But you do sure as hell need it. And having heart or fight doesnt mean you keep going until your ill and cant move. The will to go on is a great thing.
But you must realize when to stop. You must be able to realize the different between having lots of heart and the will to fight; rather than just pushing yourself overboard." Kakashi said all that and looked back down at her. "Now. You go rest. You need it."
he nodded.
"I don't care." Gaara responded with a simple shrug. 'That's her problem. Not mine" he said as the sand followed him when he stopped. "Come on." he said glaring at her, just like when they started there last fight.
"Hey!" Sasuke yelled then sighed. He wiped sweat off his brow. 'The hell is with that guy? Another forfeit?'
he thought.
Kansa slowly brought her arms down and blushed when he touched her face. "W-what?" she asked, stunned.
"No Im... fine..." she said softly and grabbed his wrist gently, pulling it down and away from her face. "It doesnt hurt or anything... I don't think its serious. It just got a little too close to my eye..." she said and looked away, still blushing.
'Why did he do that for me..?' she thought, regaining her balance on her feet.
Kakashi looked over. "Isnt that a sight?" he asked with the same bored expression. 'How strange. Ones protecting the other over a small cut, the other ones anti social and asking for a fight persistently. Ones sick by my side and ones worn out.'
he thought with a small smile behind the mask.
'This is going better thanI expected. Training done right' he nodded to himself. He turned to Sona "can you walk still?" He asked, leaning down to her level.

"Stubborn." Kakashi sighed. "Like someone else I know..." he looked over at Sasuke, who was hitting a tree and waiting for Sai to come back. "It cant be helped though." He smiled behind his mask and pulled his book out. He summoned the strong winds to go away so Kansa would be left alone. Sai was right; she should take a small break.
"O-ok. Whatever you say I guess..." she chuckled softly and smiled behind her masking looking back to him.
"Thanks for helping." she shrugged and walked to the tree besides Sona's tree. She sighed and used her mask to soak up the blood from her cut. Kansa looked past the trees to watch Gaara and Mei fight.
Gaara could block the first couple attacks but she sped up too much. The sand was too slow. His eyes widened and he turned in every direction to try to see where Mei was going. 'Shit-!' he thought. He hit her with a sand ball two times, but his other 3 missed. 'What is this sudden speed...?' he thought, unable to block anything else or hit her.
[http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view4/1386914/lee-vs-gaara-o.gif?]
Her foot came close to hitting his face. His eyes widened in slight fear and his teeth clenched tightly as he took in a quick breathe, stepping backwards recklessly; without thinking he was vulnerable. 'I cant keep up..!' he thought.
Kansa's eyes widened as she watched the two. "That's never happened before" she said shocked. "Gaara can always protect himself no doubt..." she trailed off, watching the two with great interest.

[Nope :)]
Gaara's head flung downwards as Mei's foot hit him hard in the head.
Kansa's jaw dropped. 'She got a hit!!!' she thought.
Some sand tumbled out of Gaara's hair as he looked down at her. "Yes." he stated through his teeth.
A big sand fist molded above Mei. It was about to slam down on her waist to trap her like when they first fought.
Kakashi disappeared from his spot beside Sai and above Mei, right as the sand fist came down.
Kakashi blocked it with his forearms. He peered through his mask at Gaara. "That's enough." he said simply.
Gaara clenched his fists tightly, not really knowing what to say. He was shocked of course. From her speed and her being able to hit him. "Go sit." Kakashi nodded as the sand fist dissolved and fell onto the ground. Kansa walked up and put her hand on Gaara's shoulder. "Come on, lets go rest-" she giggled. Gaara slapped her hand away from him before she finished.
"Shut it." Gaara growled walking past her, darkness in his eyes.
Kansa's face softened in sadness. She knelt down beside Mei and held her hand out. "Sorry."
she giggled. "He's a crybaby, huh?" she whispered jokingly with a smile. "Sure is." Kakashi nodded, adding to the joke
and appeared beside Sai again. "Have a good time training with Sasuke?" he asked. "Did it do you any good?"
Gaara walked behind a tree and stood, leaning against it. More sand fell from his hair; it was cracked armor.
"Damn...." he growled under his breathe; he felt his fingernails begin to dig into his palm; but sand appeared over it.
So he wouldn't hurt himself. 'Its useless.' he thought.
'So the guys a sore loser?' Sasuke laughed in his head as he continued throwing punches and kicks to the tree.
"And then the skinny dude just quits." he muttered tiredly under his breathe. "Sona gets tired easily.."
Sasuke stopped to breathe. "And then the other two girls are like bffs." he snickered tiredly and wiped his forehead.
'Or will turn out like it... seems that way.' He thought as he walked over and sat down by Sona.
He didn't mean to bother her. Just wanted a place to sit; and sure as well wasn't going to sit by Gaara.
Sasuke didn't say a word to Sona. Just sat there; enjoying the shade.
"I need to concentrate more. I underestimated her... Mei I think it was..." Gaara muttered under his breathe, looking down at his palms as sand swirled in them. "Either way I need to calm down... she'll get it later... sure as hell she will."
he bared his teeth, speaking to himself quietly in the shadows. It was actually kinda creepy.

Kansa stepped back and looked at her, then chuckled. "H-hes fine! Calm down!" she laughed standing to her full height.
"Did you see the sand that fell from Gaara's hair? That was his sand armor. It protected him."
she chuckled. "But yeah, you hit him! I guess that's an achievement!" Kansa laughed patting Mei's shoulder.
"Yeah, I wasn't expecting it either. From what their sensei has told me, Gaara's never bled before. And its extremely difficult
to hit him at all. So that was shocking indeed." Kakashi nodded.
"She's happy now, wait till I get her alone..." Gaara snickered under his breathe, then felt pain rush to his head.
He gripped his hand in his hair tightly and gritted his teeth. "I know.... I have to wait... or the damn Kakashi will get in
the way..." he muttered, pressing his other hand to his head. "Ill take care of the roadkill mother.... Ill prove my existence
once more..." he snickered.
Sasukes eyes widened slightly and he looked over at Sona. He sighed, and after staring at her his expression softened.
'I don't know what happened earlier but.. it must have had an impact...' he thought.
"You asleep...?" Sasuke asked softly. 'Might as well check before I try to move her' he thought.

"D-don't...!" Kansa said reaching her hand out. 'No one should really talk to Gaara when he's like that...'
she thought, but turned to Sai feeling something pressed on her face. "O-oh.." she said quietly, pressing her fingers lightly to the band aid. "You didn't have to do that" she chuckled softly and scratched the back of her neck.
Gaara looked over at her with a demented look in his eyes. "No." he said darkly through his teeth.
He continued clenching his fists at he stared at her with hatred in his eyes. 'Do it child...' the Shukaku repeated in his head.
"Ahh...." Gaara groaned, clenching his hair tightly.
Kansa quickly looked back over to them. 'Shit!' she thought. "H-HEEEEEY Mei. You should come over here! Sai just told me a
really funny joke and I think youd wanna hear it!" Kansa laughed loudly and nervously.
'Does she not remember what happened?' Sasuke thought, raising an eyebrow. "Well, I came over here and sat down.
Then you lost balance or something from nearly falling asleep, and you fell over and leaned on me. So I asked if you were awake before I moved the back of your head to my lap so I could put my hands behind my head. It would be more comfortable that way and I wouldn't have woken you up. BUT here you are, awake and groggy. So Im just gonna go talk to sensei..."
Sasuke kissed his teeth awkwardly.

'Oh thank god' Kansa laughed in her head, then blushed as Mei asked the question.
"He's pale and skinny but he's obviously strong, I mean he stares at me a lot but he could be a stalker, he's kind of creepy...
yeah. And he drew me. It was pretty good but that creeped me out too. But ya know if that's his way of flirting to each there own. Not my thing though. And doesnt it seem like he's trying to become a belly dancer or something? I mean why would you expose all your vital organs during battle? Seems a little crazy to me. Unless its on purpose... something like that.
But I am flattered I mean really! He isn't doing any of this for you or Sona so, ya know. Blushing haha. But then again
Ive never been hit on before so, eh, what do I know?"
Kansa explained all of that then laughed with an honest chuckled and shrugged her shoulders.
"Hey Im gonna go check on my brother.... uh.... yeah." Kansa laughed nervously and walked over to Gaara cautiously.
When she turned around to the other side of the tree, he was gone.
'WELL SHIT :I' she thought and turned back around, sighing and leaning against the tree.
"Wheres the little shit gone off to?" she laughed quietly. But was honestly REALLY worried. 'I need to go. Now.'
she turned around. "Mei. Wooho." she whistled. "Kakashi-sensei, we have to go." she said crossing her arms.
"If Mei's coming that is" Kansa snickered.
Kakashi examined the tree. 'He's gone.' he thought. "Go. And don't get injured or have anyone else injured ladies."
Kakashi nodded in confirmation.
"O-oh..." Sasuke popped his lips. "Ok." he said and placed both hands behind his head, leaning back against the tree.
It felt nice, the breeze along with the warm sun. He hadn't felt the feeling in a while.

"I trust Kansa. I don't know why she wants to bring Mei along though. Seemed like the source of Gaara's anger.
But Kansa IS his sister. And she's helped him calm down many many times before. So she knows the situation better
than I would. But... if your worried ask to come." Kakashi answered, looking down at him.
"Who knows, you might get something out of it. If Kansa lets you come that is" he looked back forward at Sasuke and Sona.
'What?' he thought.
Sasuke's chest and stomach moved up and down with every breathe. He almost fell asleep himself.
He sat up carefully and looked down at her. He smiled softly and patted Sona's head lightly and jokingly, then rubbed his face.
'Ugh I feel like crap now. I shouldn't sleep just after training. Everything wll go to waste.'
he thought and looked up at Kakashi, 'What?' he mouthed, glaring.
Kakashi shook his head 'nothing'. But was cracking up on the inside.

"Uh..." Kansa tapped her foot impatiently as she thought about it, rubbing the back of her.
"Ok lets go whatever." she said with a quick smile and leaped off into the trees. 'If I was a pissed off Gaara where would I be?'
she thought. She pulled out her fan and whipped it through the trees. There were sensors in the wind created by her fan.
'Brother brother..... no Gaara' she thought and gritted her teeth. "Come on he's not that fast, where could he have gone?"
she said to herself.
'She seems comfortable.' Sasuke thought and snickered quietly. 'Cant move her though... what a bother.' he thought.
Kakashi walked over and picked Sona up bridal style. "She's gonna go into deep sleep if you keep her like that. She was really worn out; she needs the rest anyways. I don't know what happened exactly but, it seemed like it put a major strain on her body.
Ill take her to the hospital. Then Ill check on her in the morning. She should be fine by then; and even earlier."
Kakashi nodded. "Ok..." Sasuke shrugged and stood up, stretching his arms. "Make sure she doesnt die."
he snickered jokingly. Kakashi winked and leaped off into the trees with Sona in his arms.
Gaara was walking on the ground with unsteady breathes. He knew there was a group of bandits from the Village
Of The Mist nearbye. Or the Shukaku did, anyways.
He stopped walking and saw 4 bandits through the trees, bothering an old woman. 'Do it child...'
the Shukaku spoke. Gaara balled his fists and walked in a rather wobbily manner towards the bandits.
An evil grin spread its way onto his mouth as he stared down at the ground right before the bandits.
"The hell? Its a little kid!" one of them laughed. "Hey kid, scram!" another spoke. Gaara glanced up with a crazed look in his
eyes. "You'll regret that..." he muttered darkly. The men froze, and the woman took her chance; running away with her
purse safely. The sand from Gaara's gourd poured out and wrapped around the mans necks, constricting them.
The bandits scratched at their throats, barely able to breathe.
"Im no less a child then you four..." he snickered then groaned and grabbed at his head, the sand barely loosened.
Kakashi arrived at the hospital with her still asleep, thankfully (If you don't mind. If not ignore this last part).
He checked her in as Sona's sensei and brought her to her room; 406.
He set her in the bed and covered her up. "Get well." he smiled behind his mask and disappeared from the room.

"Cmon..." Kansa gritted her teeth and skillfully whipped her fan through the air again.
She gasped quickly and abruptly stopped on a branch, almost falling. She regained her balance quickly and pressed her hand
against the tree. "Around here..." she said softly, looking around.
With the little breathe the men gained, they wiggled in an attempt to escape the sand.
"Mother...." Gaara muttered and clenched his fists. The sand tightened, and the 4 mens necks were broken instantly.
"Why aren't you proud yet...?" he groaned and dropped the bodies to the floor as he took in shallow breathes.
"More... of course, I know... your so greedy..." he snickered under his breathe.
The sand seemed to devour the dead bodies, and then it all snaked back into the gourd.
"I hear him..." Kansa said "Just barely..." she added quietly. 'But from what direction?'
she looked around. 'I used up chakra battling with the wind, and also with those last two wind blasts from my fan...'
she thought. "If I use one more and miss, I wont have any way to find him other than sheer luck."
Kansa muttered quietly, looking down at her fan in both her hands.
"Sai, Mei." she said turning around. "I need a strategy better than my own." she said.
"I heard Gaara's voice faintly. But I couldn't tell which direction. And if I use my sensory wind again, I could miss. And I wont
have enough chakra for another. I don't want to spit up, that could be dangerous. What should we do?"
she asked with a sigh.

Kansa smiled. "O-ok!" she nodded. She jumped off the tree. She navigated what was the west, and started running that way.
'Sai, your plan better work!' she thought worriedly and sighed, trying to clear her mind to just keep running forward.
Gaara turned around and started walking again, having a conversation with the demon in his head.
It was a bit hard to hear, everything was under Gaaras breathe, and it was hard to concentrate with the pain in his head.
He looked down at the ground as he walked.
Kakashi got back to where Sasuke was and trained him independently since the other 5 were gone.
"So, Sona's in the hospital and Sai, Mei, and Kansa are looking for that Gaara kid?"
Sasuke asked out of breathe. "Yes." Kakashi nodded. "Why did let them go? Not Sona but, the others?"
he asked, taking a quick break. "Goup bonding." Kakashi smiled behind his mask. "If that's what you call it..."
Sasuke sighed and resumed his hitting of trees and rocks.
"Have you practiced your chidori lately?" Kakashi asked on a more serious note. "I haven't needed to in a while."
Sasuek shrugged. "You want me to?" he asked.
"Id prefer it." Kakashi nodded. "Alright then..." Sasuke sighed and took a few steps back, regaining his breathe.
He prepared his hand to hit the tree in front of him.
"Sasuke, don't expect a huge impact. The trees in this area or thicker and harder. Understand?" Kakashi asked.
Sasuke nodded, and chakra started forming in his hands and making strange noises. Almost like birds chirping.

"You idiot." he growled and pushed Mei aside. Gaara glanced over his shoulder; at the sigh of Mei the Shukaku freaked out.
"S-stop it..!" Gaara groaned and fell to his knees, gripping his hair tightly.
There was something holding him back from killing Mei.... it wasn't Kakashi, and it wasn't Kansa. What was it?
"I cant..." Gaara muttered. 'WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CANT?!?!' the Demon roared inside his head.
"Mother... stop this..." his teeth almost cracked, he was putting so much pressure on gritting them.
'KILL HER CHILD!!'
Kansa ran for a while. Her speed had a massive increase when it came to looking for her brother.
"GAARA!!!" she yelled, getting annoyed as she sped through the trees. She stopped at a large boulder to catch her breathe.
"He's definitely not this way. Even if he didn't want to be found, Gaara would have yelled back in annoyance..."
Kansa said quietly and sighed again, wiping her forehead. "Better go back" she smiled brightly to herself.
She started running back to where they all ran off.
The chakra in Sasuke's hand grew, and so did the noise. "Now." Kakashi stated, just as Sasuke bolted towards the tree.
He held his hand up, and punched the direct center of the tree with a loud yell. It made a small blue explosion.
Sasuke grabbed his wrist and took a step bag. He examined the tree. 'Only a small hole..' he thought.
"Again." Kakashi stated plainly. Sasuke nodded and took a few steps back. The same thing happened again.
He rushed towards the tree and slammed the chidori into the same spot, only making the hole a tad deeper.
"Again?" Sasuke asked breathlessly as he stepped back. His hand looked broken and bruised and cut up.
"No. The third will not happen, Sasuke. Its impressive you can do two, but do not attempt a third one." Kakashi stated walking
over to him. "Why not? What will happen...?" Sasuke asked. Kakashi looked down at his hand, then back up to his eyes.
"It will put a massive strain on your arm, and most of your body too. You'll use up more chakra than you have available, and you'll be very tired. Worst case scenario; you'll die." Kakashi stated.
Sasuke's eyes widened slightly. He picked up his hand and stared at it, moving his fingers to get used to the pain.
He nodded slowly. "Ok.."

"Mei please... Im struggling, not deaf..." he growled "Stop it mother..." he groaned
'KILL HER THEN' Gaara sighed. "No...." he muttered "Just ignore her.... I will..." he repeated.
'You better child....' "I will...." he muttered. The Shukaku left his head. Gaara ran his fingers through his hair.
He actually pulled some out. He looked up at Mei. "Get your hands off me." he said coldly. "Im. Fine."
he said, a bit controversially. "Head aches are a bitch, but I wont die." he said, sitting up on his knees.
Kakashi looked over at her and sighed. "You two are both stubborn as mules." he shook his head. "Werent you at the hospital?
Why are you back, you should rest." Sasuke said turning to look at her. "And yes, it was." he nodded, still gripping his wrist.
"The nurses are probably looking for you too." Kakashi sighed.
"Oh, ok!" Kansa smiled and hopped on. "So you haven't either? That means Mei probably did... I hope" Kansa sighed.
"But also I dread the thought. I don't know what kind of conversation Gaara was having with that thing. And I don't know
if he has any willpower to stop himself from killing Mei. Especially since she was the one who hurt him."
Kansa sighed, resting her forehead on Sai's shoulder as she sat behind him.
"I just wish for the best at this point..." she said softly then sat up. "Whatever the matter. We gotta find him either way"
she nodded.

"O-oh, that's- OHMYGOD" Kansa wrapped her arms around Sai's stomach and held on tightly as they dive down.
Gaara looked up at them and narrowed his eyes. "Idiots." he sighed and crossed his arms standing up.
When they reached the ground, Kansa laughed and stood up from off the bird.
"No we're not! Just worried!" she giggled and hugged her brother tightly. Gaara clenched her fists and glared at her.
When Kansa pulled away she got chills. "I-Im sorry! I forgot, off limits!" she chuckled nervously and looked over
at Sai. "We can talk about it later" she nodded. "Definitely idiots" Gaara shook his head.
"Don't be rude! So, how did Mei fi-" Kansa patted Gaara's back... a little too hard.
Gaara stumped forward, and loosing balance fell right into Mei. And more importantly, his head into her breasts.
". . . . ."
There was absolute silence in that moment.
Gaara had the feeling of feathers all around his head, then came to the conclusion. "Not. Pillows."
he mumbled into Mei's boobs and stood straight up.
"U-uh.. Gaa... ra.." Kansa chuckled nervously. Gaara crossed his arms and turned his back to Mei.
"Those are nice but you shouldn't leave yourself so exposed." he said.
"WHAT?!?! GAARA!!" Kansa was about to smack him, but Gaara grabbed her wrist.
"Im just being honest about the situation. If your really so upset maybe you shouldn't have pushed me into Mei's breasts."
he said simply. Kansa was getting heated up. "Or maybe you should have regardless..." Gaara moved his mouth to the side.
"YOU PERVERT!" Kansa yelled. "Am not." Gaara stated. "HELL YEAH YOU ARE! YOUR ALWAYS LOOKING AT GIRLS BOOBS!"
"Oh well." Gaara shrugged. "Your always looking at guys-"
"SHHHH" Kansa pressed her hand over Gaara's mouth before he could finish. "Cat got your tongue?"
Gaara mumbled. "Don't say a word." Kansa replied.

"Why are you staring...?" Sasuke said suspiciously, pulling his hand to his chest, then crossing his arms.
"Yes, it is very powerful." Kakashi nodded. "Even with these trees Sasuke was able to make a considerably large hole without
ruining his hand completely." he said.
Sasuke was flexing and un-flexing his fingers to make sure they worked fine. Crackles and pops came from the joints but
he didn't take any mind. "I like practicing on the hills more still..." Sasuke said softly, looking at the tree.
"Because you can see the impact. Just like you would of course..." Kakashi said.
"Whats that supposed to mean?" Sasuek said, glaring at his sensei. "Oh nothing." Kakashi smiled behind his mask.
