Prelude 1/15 [P/NK]

Tori exited the gates of Tenga as the rain fall began to increase. The harder the rain fall the deeper feelings of fear ran through her. What if she ran into someone she didn't want to see? Would she be able to make it home safely?  She was ready to put her old life style behind her and just continue with her fresh new start.
The rain puddles beneath her feet make a splashing sound as she walks through them. Maybe being up in the trees would be safer! Suddenly she stops as she gets a feeling of dread coming over her! Someone was there!
"Show yourself! " she said releasing two chains from her wrists!

Having traveled a while, Sephora sat in a tree watching Tori with her Byakugan. Just as she suspected, the Uzumaki woman released her chains. A evil smirk crossed her lips as she leapt from the tree and landed 14 feet in front of the girl.
"Going somewhere Tori? I should be asking if you want me to escort you to Volcano. After all, you can't abandon our group that easily. Now either you go with me, or I kill you.  Which will it be?" Sephora asked her moving closer to Tori.

Visibility was difficult but, she could make out movements and she instantly recognized the voice.  Sephora had found her.
"You know, Princess, stalking is not a nice thing to do. And unlike you, I am not a fan of the missing nin life style. I am not helping you burn a Village or kidnap people. I am going to Konoha to live with my father. So, I hate to put a kink in your plans, Sephora,  but fuck off!" Tori said, stating her obvious feelings as the girl came into view. She knew she was about to have to fight to protect herself.

One thing Sephora hated was defiant minions! She already dealt with Akki Senju, and now, she would have to deal with Tori. A girl she considered her best friend! Her father warned her this would happen.  Those closest to her would possibly turn against her.
"I am so sure Konoha would welcome back a traitor! You were kidnapped,  yes, but you left Konoha willingly! And your headband,  you let them take it from you apparently because I don't see it! You told us all the story,  You originally ran to Tengakure for shelter awaiting soneone to come get you. Then, after you gave up hope,  I found you!  You technically need me, because if anyone knew the truth about you, you'd be marked an enemy and executed! And you know too much about me and the others! You refuse to come with me, so be it!" Sephora said moving within 8 feet in front of her, and lifting up her left hand as she spoke the last sentence.  As she finished speaking she fired five bone bullets from her fingertips!

Now, Tori was mad ! The nerve of this girl whom she referred to as the spawn of the devil, threatening her! In a very quick matter of seconds,  which seemed like hours,  sephora moved her hand up and Tori began spinning one of chains in a sideways circular motion creating a spinning shield, deflecting the bullets from Sephoras fingertips!
"Nice try, but your predictable!" She said firing the chain from the other hand straight at Sephora's throat! "Its not like anyone would believe you anyways! To many holes in your story! " Tori added in as she stopped her spinnng chain by breaking it! She released another one to replace the one she just broke.
Suddenly the rain let up , then as a huge bolt of lightning spider webbed across the sky, another round of heavy rain began followed by a clap of thunder. Visibility again being limited due to the weather. Tori was not able to sea Sephora or see if her attack had hit the girl! Sighing she broke another chain leaving only one hanging loose.
This was why Tori was hoping she would have company on the trip home.
Tori was now soaked completely through her outfit , and her hair was dripping. She still remained focused looking for Sephora!

Unfortunately Sephora had been hit by the chain on her arm as she dodged the chain. Not to Severe of a wound, she would be fine. Using the heavy rain as a shield Sephora jumped through the trees silently, landing on the tree limb above Tori! With one swift movement she extended her bone claws and came down on top of Tori and through each of Toris shoulders she pushed three claws ! The movement also knocks Tori on her back and Sephoras claws pin her to the ground, if not prevented, and the moves Successfully go through.
"I warned you, this is not something you can just walk away from! You are going back to Volcano with me, understood?" Sephora asked looking down at Tori. "Oh and I don't suggest moving, you will bleed to death. " Sephora added.

it all happened so fast! As Tori looked up she was suddenly impaled by three spikes in each shoulder and pinned to the ground! Not to mention, excruciating pain pulsing through her upper body! Tori let out a scream of pain as she went down, yet instead of backing down, she fought back! As Sephora had her pinned down, she immediately wrapped her tightly in tworather large chains!
"You should have blocked my hands, then again, I can pretty much shoot these from anywhere, so you're screwed either way!" She managed to say. The pain intensified despite the adrenaline rushing through her body. Unfortunately she couldn't move, and if Sephora did, she would bleed to death, a very sad situation! They were still by the Tenga gates! Damn it why had she not waked Haru to escort her outside the gates? As late as it was no one else would be out! She was definitely screwed!

With the threatening letter sent by God knows who clutched tightly in his hand, Haru made his way to the gates as fast as his legs would carry him. To save time, he moved by rooftop, leaping across the blacktops and running along the walls of buildings too high to reach. Within minutes, he was there. He could sense Tori now, see her with his Byakugan, as well as another presence. A girl, who looked to be around her age, had her pinned rather gruesomely.
”Shit, shit, shit…” Muttered Haru, urging his body to carry him more quickly as he approached the pair. He was now at street level, making a mad dash towards the two. As he ran, he made three hand seals, which caused wood to sprout from his body, forming a Mokuton clone, which began running alongside him.
 
Once he had finished the hand signs, he would make contact with the girl on top of Tori, using a Taijutsu Shunshin to quickly close the distance between them, and hooking his right arm underneath her stomach, ripping her away from Tori (And her own chains) and hurling her back, at least ten meters.
”Get the hell off of her!” He would shout as he tossed the girl away. The fall itself wouldn’t cause any real damage, but it sure wouldn’t be painless. As Haru did this, the clone would rush to Tori, kneeling next to her and applying the mystical palm technique to her wounds to keep her from bleeding out
 
The real Haru would be standing between the two, facing Sephora, and cracking his knuckles, his expression calm but serious.

”Now you’ve really crossed the line. Get the hell out of here before I show you your innards.” He threatened, his sharingan swirling as the three tomoes appeared alongside his already active byakugan.

Sephora felt his presence way to late! DAMN! She was so focused on Tori she didn't keep a constant visual on the area! She had one set of claws buried deeply, and when the chains had wrapped around her she had pushed the claws further in. When Haru broke the chains and pulled her off of Tori, the one set of claws broke off in her houlder keeping Tori pinned. But the other came out spilling a lot of blood!
As she went flying through the air feeling like a ragdoll, she hit the ground with a rather painful sickening thud, and a splashing sound! Yes a rain puddle, of all things, she was mad, humiliated and apparently lying in water!
"Who the devil do you think you are?  This situation does not concern you! And how dare you think you can just throw me around! That was a big mistake! It woud be wise of you to leave, and stay out of this! That girl is nothing more than a missing nin and I am dealing with her!" She replied to his comment! Threatening her, really!  Oddly enough this was exciting,  where she lived no one messed with her, now is her chance to show what she can do!

Tori screamed in pain as Sephora was pulled off and the claws were removed! Wait, was that Haru? He had come to help her after all. She whispered thank you as her woulds were being healed but, wait a minute, was this a clone? The real one was facing Sephora who was running Her mouth off to him!
"Haru, that's Sephora..." she said in a whisper while being healed.
