SUNA, MONDAY- 10:15
"Kazekage-sama! There are reports of strange activity near the gates!" exclaimed a flabbergasted Chunin.
The chair turns around to reveal a strong 19 year old red head, Gaara. Once a disturbed child who fought for blood and mayhem is now a prestige man who wants nothing more than to protect his people, friends and family. No one thought the proclaimed monster of Suna would do anything of importance until that fateful day he met Naruto Uzumaki changing him for the better.
"Bring me my siblings and tell Baki to look at the situation before I get there to get a report and fill me in." Gaara said as he stood, the Chunin nodded his head and took off as he left another Shinobi entered the room, "Kazekage-sama! Reports of Shinobi disappearances has increased near the main gates. Baki says to send a messenger Hawk to the village Hidden in the Leaves to make them aware of the situation and to send for reinforcement." The shinobi said a flurry of words Gaara Nodded and dismissed him. Walking towards one of the paintings on the wall he threw it across the room to reveal a key pad.
Gaara had saw what was going on at the gates from The Red mist slowly entering the village and causing screams to be heard, he heard everything the painful screams of his Shinobi and then the loud barking and howling of animals. He began pressing the numbers on the key pad only to reveal a red button, a button that had not been used in Suna in decades.
"Gaara!" yelled Temari and Kankuro as they entered the room. "It's that serious?" asked Temari as she glanced at the button. "Whatever that red mist is, it's causing chaos and destruction. We need everyone to prepare and send the civilians to their safety zones. Everyone has learned the drill and this will not be a test. This is life or death." Gaara quietly spoke as the red mist began to creep past the Main gates, he slammed his hand on the button and loud sirens began to go off in Suna. The Kazekage's room bookshelves turned around to reveal everything that three siblings would need.
Temari and Kankuro silently went to their respective areas and began gearing up while Gaara walked towards the window.
GAARA P.O.V.
A messenger hawk would do no good it won't get past that mist. But perhaps a summoning would work, one that can travel underground at high speeds, yes that would work. Maybe he should also send Kamatari, Temari Weasel travels extremely fast he might be able to move faster than an underground expert and Temari is also here. Glancing at the Main gates and the red mist he noticed that the mist began to darken to a black, the rooftops were filled with shinobi using the equipment that sat there shooting the arrows using their own specialties against the darken mist. Barrier experts tried and tried to create one that would stop the mist from advancing farther into the village.
REGULAR P.O.V.
Temari and Kankuro joined Gaara at the window that oversees Suna. "What the hell is that?!" exclaimed Kankuro, they each remained quiet lost in their own thoughts, it was now or never. "Temari Summon Kamatari, I need him to deliver a letter to Konoha" Gaara whisper and he walked back to his desk and began writing furiously, lost in thought Gaara explained Suna situation and describe the mist. Villagers ran screaming the mist was closer now, there wasn't much he could do, "Gaara! The mist its creating a barrier around Suna!" exclaimed Kankuro, Gaara quickly wrote that down and glanced at said barrier, looking up he saw Kamatari waiting patiently and worriedly at his master Temari who smiled at him.
"kamatari,-"the white fur weasel look towards him "- I want you to give this to Tsunade of the hidden leaf, if you pass by any leaf shinobi send them here but tell them not engage or come in the village, to observe from a distance and report back their findings back to Tsunade, our situation may change while you're gone so keep sending people. Once you given her this stay by her side, do not leave. This thing may go there and I want you to be prepared." Instructed Gaara as he tied a scroll to Kamatari back. With a nod towards the Kazekage he walked towards Temari and looked at her before running through the open window.
"He wants us to leave. Travel underground until we are out." Temari whispered as she walk back to Kankuro and Gaara looking through the window. She stood in-between the two and held their hands. This was their home. What can they do? Nothing is stopping that thing. The screams and animal noses continue. Dressed in their battle clothing the three siblings disappeared in a flurry of sand. They reappeared in the south side of the village. Temari still holding her brothers hands.
"Kazekage-sama!" a Jounin shouted running towards the three, "The mist it's doing something horrible, it's turning everyone into monsters! We can't stop it! What do we do?" he exclaimed. A crowd of shinobi surrounded the three siblings. The villagers screamed past them with Genin escorting them to the vaults for safety.
A crackle of lighting and thundered emerged from the mist and a laugh was heard. The wind picked up causing sand to fly everywhere. The wind grew stronger and stronger causing people to be thrown from the ground and "fly" for a short of time only to land on the ground and to be thrown again. Gaara willed the sand to hold him and his siblings down, Temari hand clutched her brothers in Fear and anticipation. The wind began to whisper and it got louder and louder as it continued to talk.
Listen all who stand before me! You lived your lives without true suffering! Tormented those different from you! Accepted them when they became of use to you! Once again only one may help you!
Hear my curse that has been thrusted upon you!
The wind picked up even more the blacken mist moved faster. It was pointless to run.
Poison from the depths bloom.
Poison with its scent of death looms.
Inhale my mist I dare you.
It will reveal the true side of you.
That monster that lays within you.
A person to in front of the siblings inhaled the mist and let out a blood curling scream, his clothes ripping and turned into a five armed monster, his skin turning a grayish brown. His skin torn in various places ripping apart as his body changed. His arms became deformed each one uniquely shaped. He turn towards the siblings. His face scarred and deformed. It let out an angry howl and disappeared in the mist as it crept around him.
Only one unaffected by this mist may leave but not without a gift thrusted upon you.
The hero Tormented by others will rise and leave.
The person that blossomed into a beautiful flower will help you.
Find my flower!
Beware of the beauty and power of others for the flower will wither.
This is my curse my doing now scatter!
I'll find you upon your darkest hour.
The mist was in front of them, Gaara quickly made a wall of sand before it got any closer, his people would not turn into that thing if he could stop it. Temari let go of her brothers' hand and began using her wind to reinforce the sand wall that was shaking due to the pressure of the mist and the wind. Kankuro used his precious puppets to move people farther back or picked them up after the wind had knocked them down.
"Clear!" Kankuro shouted over the wind and turned back around glancing toward his family. Both of them sweating as they kept the wall up. The sound of the vaults closing and being sealed shut was heard throughout the village. It was too late for them to go there. They knew that Baki had made it, he would lead the others.
Suna would last at least a year in those vaults. If worse came to worse and if they had no choice they would be able to leave if they finish digging the exit tunnel to one of the hidden villages. However Baki would quickly put them to work while they were strong.
Temari stopped the wind and Gaara let his sand crumpled to the ground. Temari grabbed her annoying little brothers and hugged them. In a circle they clung to each other in fear an anticipation holding their breath. They did not want to inhale that blacken mist.
Gaara, awkwardly hugged his siblings, he still wasn't good at emotions but in their last possible moments he would like to acknowledge their last union together slowly they inhaled the mist. After what seem like two minutes surrounded by the mist they looked down. They had not changed. Stepping apart they began to laugh in joy.
They were tormented as children like the curse said but realization was drawn upon them. "Only one of us will be able to leave." Whispered Gaara. Temari laughed bitterly. This would happen to them, only to be safe yet torn apart. "The hero….Gaara go to Konohan…you're the hero. You're the one who was tormented the most….you can fix this!" Kankuro shouted but Gaara furiously shook his head "What do you think would happen to you?! You'll change like those monsters!" he yelled back.
Temari smiled and hugged him, "Gaara, we can go to the vault. You leave. But once in the vault we have no way communicating. But well figure out something. We can bring extra food to the vault too. Leave. Before you're force to stay." She said as she and Kankuro slowly left. Gaara moved to follow but the wind blew him back, his sand unable to keep him down. They were lying! They can't get in the vault without the mist getting in!
"No!" he shouted as he tried to run back to them but the wind blew him harder towards the main gate. He couldn't be left alone, he needed them! "STOP! PLEASE!" he pleaded, but they stood there and smiled sadly waving their hands. He couldn't be left alone, he looked at them as several of the monster ran towards his siblings letting out animal noises as they rushed past him.
He looked back and saw the gates, he'll be out and left alone. The anxiety began to invade his chest breathing heavily he clawed the ground. "I refuse to find your flower! If you let them do as they said I'll do your bidding!" he shouted at the sky. With one last gust of wind Gaara flew out the gates and landed harshly at the ground. The barrier, a black purple color surrounded the village. He ran back and banged his hands against. "Temari! Kankuro!" he shouted as he banged the barrier.
A laugh was heard and he whipped around, a woman hunched over leaning heavily on a cane offered a crystal ball, confused Gaara grasped it, the woman wore a cloak that covered her body if it wasn't for her manicured nails and rings Gaara would assume she was a he. "Find my flower." She whispered before being swallowing up in sand.
Looking into the ball Gaara saw her appear next to his siblings, grasping their hands and handing them several scrolls and transporting them inside the Vault before disappearing. Confused his siblings collapsed, Temari sobbing, her brother screams had gotten to her, Kankuro hugged her as he looked at the vault door. The ball shattered forming a glass flower that was a pink and emerald color before disappearing all together.
"Kazekage-Sama!" Gaara turn to see two, very green shinobi, seeing the leaf ensign on their head band he rushed to them. The wind picked up again and whispered in his ears, you forgot your gift Kazekage-Sama, Confused Gaara looked up at none other than Gai and Lee who looked past him. Turning slowly he saw the mist reach him. Halting he inhaled the mist and screamed. The mist disappeared.
"Gaara!" shouted lee as he rushed towards his companion. All that was left were clothes, an object moved in the clothes, carefully Lee removed the clothes. A blood red Wolf pup emerged. The wind picked and Gaara, lee and Gai heard it laugh in mockery, you didn't think it would be that easily did you?
Gaara growled, well attempted to, "Gai-sensei?" lee question. Gai nodded and picked up Gaara Gourd, while lee carefully picked up the wolf pup. The Hokage is sure going to get a kick out of this.
