Kyo was running as fast as she could and was only getting faster. With Liara riding piggyback, the last female Hatake was having the time of her life right now, feeling the wind blowing through her long white hair, breezing cooly against her warm, sweating face. This was the mental relief she needed after that intense episode at the forest gates. But that happened hours ago, and though she still a huge amount of guilt for that boy named Water being killed, her mind had started to settle. It was truly disheartening, but what was more sad than that was it was a fate they would all have to accept in their new homeland.

Once she'd slowed down and Liara hopped off her back, they were now near a river. As everyone had run to catch up,  Kyo helped out Liara by tying her boot. But no sooner had she finished doing so that her young friend tackled hugged her into the shallow bank of the river. Kyo had fallen back with a yelp but was laughing all the way down and the two girls would hit the water with a splash. "HAhahaa! You're welcome Li-" Kyo abruptly went quiet as she caught off guard by how jarringly cold the water had been. It felt like water straight out of an ice cap, but with shaking off the shivers, she sat up in the water. "Brrrr....that's cold! But at least we have-!!!!!"

The water was cold, and therefore, it was quite dense and dark, not to mention with the current flow of water moving in the same general direction that everyone was facing, nobody would even be able to see the large creature as it slithered like a serpent through the water toward the two girls. Kyo was trying to get up while Liara [assumably] had gotten off her. But the  white haired female would have only scooted her knees back and rose no higher than a couple inches when a blur of brown-black seemed to sandwich over the bottom half of Kyo's upper arm. Even to those closest by or actively watching, they wouldn't have been able to realize that it was a long and narrow maw full of razor sharp teeth until after it was already dragging Kyo back and farther into the water below.

"Ahhhhhh!!!" She let out a shrill scream as she could feel its teeth sink clean through her flesh and pinch and clamp against bone matter. Kyo tried like hell to jerk free, but between the immense pain and the strong opposing pull from this creature, she knew she would lose her arm and it terrified her to know that. Panic and desperation settled in seconds later when she laid eyes upon what had grabbed her. Mottled dark gray skin pulled tight over it, the snout was comparable to an abnormally long bird beak, but with rows of jagged teeth that were now covered in her own blood.

Terror filling her eyes, Kyo froze and that one second was all the creature needed to jerk her beneath the surface of the water. Bubbles of oxygen immediately rippled to the surface and just as the disturbance of the water had flowed out, Kyo had exploded out of it with half a scream, half gasping for air. Her bloodied left arm barely hanging on by the broken joint of bone and flapping sickly around. The girl tried wadding rapidly out from the deeper center of the river, but the creature too would burst from the water. Roughly resembling a large crocodile but with a much narrower snout, the gharial let out a gutteral snarl at them all before diving the six feet between Kyo and itself to sink its teeth onto her remaining arm.



Kyo would give a final look of horrified discerning and cried out as she instantly dragged beneath the water. This time, pointedly much larger air bubbles came to the surface and a bright red cloud of blood began to dye the water as it began flowing downstream.
