Yasu: The blast wave caused Yasu to get blown over, her arms grasping the ninken closely. The childs eyes shifted quickly as she tumbled onto the sand. With a shakey breath she stood up, her body turning to continue heading forwards however a distant light came into view and soon soldiers were running towards them as fast as they could. The words that left their lips caused the color to drain from her face, her eyes shifting back to Aki. Quickly, she turned and set the dog down next to her. “Aki you need to try to get this dog to follow us.” Yasu began running ahead, her right hand flipping her eyepatch down. With a heavy exhale she grabbed Aki’s sleeve and dragged her along, speaking to her as she did so. “I trust them, when we get close to the smoke use your nose and lead.” Yasu personally didn’t care if the Ninken listened, or what it did at this point. After all, it wasn’t her pet, she wanted to keep it safe but she wasn’t risking her life over the animal. It just wasn’t worth it anymore.

Aki: Aki too felt herself tumble only once over, landing on her rump but scrambled up to her feet. She felt the men wiz by shouting something but the sound of the explosion nearly drowned it out. Next thing she knew she felt herself stopped and re-positioned by Yasu who had set the pup down. The instructions were simple enough, her pigment-less eyes studied the white one below. Shit..how was this going to work?! Time was getting slimmer and slimmer and Aki had to act now. “..Lilly is back there! We can’t go this way we have to go back! Go and find Lilly!” She made clear eye contact with the dog before she turned on her heel and took off dropping to all fours again coming directly with the Hatake’s pace. Things were crumbling around her like buildings everything was losing it’s muster and the feeling of fear she’d been trying to suppress to get through this calamity was creeping slowly back into perspective. This was a war! This was death and destruction and the agony of all men and women. For most it might have crippled them, forced them to give up but Aki felt herself powering forward and each strand of terror gave her more and more strength..was this was it was like to stand before the fires of hell and look into the eyes of a demon? Yes! It was invigorating! “..Yasu! Hang onto my jacket tightly, we’ll get through this smoke! Anyone else who can’t see me, listen to my movements!” The Genin commanded overhead as the group barreled into the smoke that was the aftermath of the rain’s treachery. She couldn’t see and the smog was heavy making it hard to breath without a cough or two but with a nose like her’s it was easy to determine where she was going and where the others currently combating were holding up. However, something shocking…the scent of her Sensei’s blood sweetly intertwined with the reek of death. Her ears were on high guard, searching for any sound that might deter their path or notify them of an enemy and the two senses worked in tandum. Miki kept herself safe, hidden beneathe her jacket line.
