Sand (connie and Nbird)

She whimpered and nudged his hand agaisnt her wound and then softly nudes his pouch, she wanted to sleep but knew that if she did she wouldn't wake up, she had to keep trying, she had to tell him somehow, she gazed weakly into his eyes 'help me' she thought, she could communicate wig wolves this way when she was human and now she was trying it the other way around 'I'm not healed' she tried to communicate but was weak and doubted he heard.

Tsukiakara understood. Poison. Without knowing what it was he couldn’t cure it. Though he had an herb that will at least buy her some time. He took the herb and mashed it up. He then stirred it in with some water. “Here drink this” he said.

She lifted her head and drank slowly, he was a smart boy, it tasted terrible and she had to ignore her gag reflex. She was okay for now, all Tsukiakara had to do now was go to the village and get help, she pointed her paw in the direction of the entrance 'go, help' she said in her mind to him, she needed him to go get help or she didn't know what she would do.

“There’s no where to go. By the time I get to Tani or Suna it could be too late. A signal wouldn’t work because it would led the exiles straight to us. You said earlier you had medical ninjustu right?”

She Wined again, she did have medic jutsu but her chakara was weak for unknown reasons, Mabey the poisen was effecting it 'chakara' she thought at him.

“Chakra?” He didn’t have much chakra to give to her. “Maybe” he took out another scroll. This one summoned 5 swords. “I store large amounts of chakra in this swords. I’ve never tried to take them out but do you want to give it a shot?”

She barked weakly, she would do anything at this point, Yukiko hated feeling weak and wanted to heal asap.

“Ok” he sat down and meditated. The chakra from one of the swords were going into Yukiko. Soon all of the chakra from the sword was depleted but when it had the sword shattered into pieces.

She started to draw the poisen out and heal, she felt sorry about breaking his swords and promised herself to get him some more.

He continued to do drain the swords until all 5 swords lay there in pieces. “I hope that’s enough”, he said exhausted.

She finished healing and jumped up, she leapt on him and licked his face in thanks before grabbing the scroll in her jaws and slinging him onto her back. She ran to the mouth of the cave and scouted for enemies.

At the end of the cave the monster was there waiting for them. He couldn’t fit in so he decided to bang on the mountain. The whole mountain began to shake and soon rocks were falling from above the cave. In a few short seconds the entrance caved in. They’re trapped.

Yukiko had all her chakara and placed Tsukiakara and handed him the scroll, she growled at Tsukiakara as warning to stay there and leapt out to face the monster, Yukiko bit the monsters arm and started to lead the monster Away 'go, I'll distract him' she said to her allay and distracted the monster to try and get Tsukiakara to safety and get him to finish the mission 'ill meet up withyou later' she thought as the beast foucused on her.

Where was he supposed to go? The cave had caved in and there was no where to go. It was dark and Tsukiakara needed some light. He once again summoned another sword with his scroll. He took the sword and set it ablaze. He looked around. There was a path way that led further into the cave. “A secret pathway” he said. Very cleaver. The paths on the mountain must have just led in circles and the monster was to kill pursuers.

She soon lost sight of Tsukiakara as she drew the beast away, but what could she do beside be a wolf, Mabey she could show it that she was the dominant one. she growled menacingly And lunged, tackling it to the ground using ninja like speed, before the monster had time to react she had her jaw around it's throat and it's canines digging into its neck, the beast whimpered and Yukiko smirked, he plan worked.

Well he had to get the entrance opened to tell his teammate of his discovery. He took his Ice sword and formed a drill like shape around it. He started drilling at the rocks.

Yukiko jumped back from the beast and growled, the beast stood by her side loyaly and followed her as she made her way back to Tsukiakara. Yukiko barked once signaling her return to him.

Tsukiakara made a hole big enough to fit Yukiko. “Hey Yukiko there’s a secret pathway in here, it might lead of to Suna.”

She barked excitedly and the beast made a roar, she looked at the beast and back to Tsukiakara, and laughed when he turned around and saw the beast for the first time.

“You sure have a way with animals Yukiko but I don’t think your friend will fit.”

She looked at the beast and barked to usher him away, it roared once and disappeared. Yukiko walked up to Tsukiakara and barked once signalling she was ready to go.

With his sword on fire, Tsukiakara led the way. The sounds of water falling could be heard. “Soo, how long do you stay as a wolf?”, Tsukiakara asked.

'soon end' she thought to him, she didn't mind wolf form but there was one drawback, when she turned back she would be naked, she just hoped that Tsukiakara wasn't nearby when that happened, she followed behind Tsukiakara in silence

Soon the tunnel had three different paths just like the other paths they been on. “I guess we can rest here for away while we figure out what to do next”. There were nearing Suna and Tsukiakara needed his chakra back. “Do you mind if I take a little nap?” He asked Yukiko.

She shook her head and sat down and allowed Tsukiakara to rest his head on her soft fur, she stayed alert, her wolf senses helping her.
