The Shining Desert

[InnerSakura]

"Yes its really a spectacular place. Thats why I wanted to show you." Sayuri said, while looking at her friends and smiling.

[ino>sakura!]

''yeah,thanks''tsunami said still amazed

[ko lee]

Ryouta the unsheathes his sword grabs the blade with his hand. It causes blood to run down his sword, he then stabs into the floor. "Let my blood prosper thoughs who have lost there lives, and allow them peace in the after life" Ryouta then pulls the sword from the ground and re-sheathes it." Thank you for allowing me this privilege Lady Sayuri"

[InnerSakura]

"You're welcome, Ryouta." Sayuri tells him. Tsunami, Ryouta, and Sayuri then continue to walk through remnants of what was left of the towering mansion, and suddenly, Sayuri thought she saw something in the distance. "What was that?" Sayuri wondered. Just then, Sayuri fell through the sand. It was a trap! From out of nowhere, bandits wearing torn clothing jumped out from behind the pillars which helped support the ruins. They attempted to attack Tsunami and Ryouta, and Sayuri was nowhere to be seen.

[ino>sakura!]

''sayuri!!!''tsunami yelled ''ninja art:deep in sleep''the bandits fall asleep

[ko lee]

"Lady Sayuri" Ryouta yelled as he unsheathed he sword slicing at the bandits. "Tsunami go after Lady Sayuri, Ill handle them and be right behind you."

[ino>sakura!]

''or we could go together,come on''tsunami grabs his hand and jumps down

[ko lee]

"Good point" grabbing her hand. "Lead the way. I am going to activate my kekei genkei and sense for her emotion"

[InnerSakura]

Sayuri opens her eyes, and she is deep underground somewhere with her face lying in the sand. She lifts herself upward, brushing off her clothes. "Where...am I? What happened?" Sayuri wonders. She looks around, but all she can see is darkness. Just then, she hears something in the distance. Footsteps, apparently treading on the sand. "Who's there?" Sayuri asked. From out of nowhere, Sayuri is grabbed. "Hey! Let me go!" She says. Her chakra spikes, and then an aura surrounds her, burning the attempted ambushers. "Dont try to attack me. You have no idea who you are dealing with." She says. Her control over her biju was much stronger now, and she wasnt about to be a burden on her friends this time around. Suddenly, kunai and shuriken are hurled at her from out of the blackness, and she cannot see which way the projectiles are being aimed from. They strike her, a few of them leaving slashes across her skin. Blood trails down her arms and legs. A lot of the weapons missed. That means my attackers must not be very certain of my location in this darkness. Sayuri thought. Just then, more kunai were thrown, however they had wire attached to them, and she was ensnared. They can smell my blood. Oh no. Sayuri realized. The wire had chakra running through it, which shocked her. She screamed, and hit the ground. The chakra had somehow managed to absorb her biju cloak. Sayuri cursed under her breath. "Why does this always happen to me?" She thought. Then, her assailants revealed themselves, grabbing her and hauling her away into the deeper chambers of the ruins. She tried to struggle, but it was of no use. Her chakra was gone. She swore again. "Where are you taking me?!" She demanded. "This place is a haven of powerful chakra. You will find out soon enough, young jinchuriki." One of her kidnappers said in a gruff tone. That didnt sound good. Whatever they were planning, she had to find a way to escape. And fast.

[ino>sakura!]

''did you hear sayuri,come on'' starts to run toward the sound

[ko lee]

"Yeah I am on it. Panther Art: Body of Panther: Soul of Man." He then into a Panther." Get on my back, I have her sent. She is bleeding" Ryouta growled

[ino>sakura!]

''ok'' tsunami climbs on ''if shes hurt i can heal her''

[ko lee]

She climbed on Ryouta and he takes off at great speeds. "She grows neare be ready to attack I will close the distance." The enemies appear in the distance, and grow closer until they are right behind them. "Tsnami attack!!"Ryouta roars

[InnerSakura]

Sayuri noticed that she was in a large circular room deep within the heart of the ruins. Small beams of sunlight shown through cracks in the ceiling, revealing that there was actually some vegetation growing down here. She wondered what this place was. She had never seen it before. One of the bandits placed his hand up against a wall, and a diagram appeared as the wall shifted, revealing a hidden chamber. Inside, there was a large stone tablet on the ground, with what appeared to be some sort of spell engraved on it. Around the tablet stood four stone pillars. "What...is that?" Sayuri wondered as the bandits placed her on the ground in the center of the tablet. She tried to move, however the wires shocked her whenever she tried to activate her chakra. "Grrr..." She growled. Her biju was agitated. However she wasnt losing control.She had definitely gained better control over her emotions, however there was also something tranquil about this place. Even the biju inside her seemed tame at the moment. Just then the bandits pulled off their ragged over garments, revealing that most of them had spells tattooed on their arms and faces, and Sayuri could not identify who they were. Never had she seen any shinobi who resembled them before. "Who are you...?" Sayuri wondered. "We have mastered the ancient spell which awakens the power dormant within these ruins. We are the decendants of those who first utilized the six tails power to crush the hidden Trench long ago." One of them spoke. Sayuri couldnt quite make sense of all of this, however she could piece together that they most likely wanted to harvest her chakra. For what purpose, she had no idea. "Since you are Oasis's jinchuriki you should know. Your power belongs to us. We should be revered as gods by Oashisu." One of the men explained. "Our descendants harnessed the power of the biju long ago, and saved Oashisu from destruction by absorbing the beast's strength, without becoming jinchuriki. By harnessing the chakra, they were able to command the beast, and unleash it on the Trench village. Now we will harness that same power, and awaken the spirits which lay in rest in these ruins. Once we, their descendants, have gained the ancient wisdom and power, we will rightfully rule Oashisu for eternity." They stated. Sayuri struggled even harder, but it was of no use. She yelled, as the strange warriors began to chant and create numerous handsigns. "Ryouta! Tsunami!" Sayuri yelled, and she only hoped Ryouta would be able to find her using his ability to sense her emotions. Sayuri could feel her chakra being drained by a massive amount, as sealing spells constrained her to the floor. She grew limp, and she knew that if her friends didnt make it in time it could spell disaster.

[Bombs266]

Gia, a while away, noticed his friend problem. He sprinted toward her location, hoping she would be ok.

[ino>sakura!]

''right storm style:atmospheric pressure''

[Bombs266]

Gia jumped high, but instead of landing on the ground he landed on a large tiger, and rode it at high speed.

[InnerSakura]

Sayuri could feel herself slipping out of consciousness. Almost all of her chakra had been drained already, and the beast within her was now becoming very unruley. She could feel the seal on her stomach begin to burn, and against her will she began to transform.

[Bombs266]

'SAYURI!' Gia burst underground, ddigging at a furious pace.

[ko lee]

Ryouta felt pain within hismind growing, and a monster being unleashed."We have to...." Ryouta falls sliding on the ground and rolling. He then reverted into human form.
