A ninja to remember

14.

Gone

3rd person POV

The trees flew past her as she ran through the forest. Her once green eyes had turned black. Markings covered her arms and legs, her face as well. No one noticed her disappearance, no one. They were busy. As she flew, the person controlling her was torturing her made her soul compress, like she saw a magician do to a boy trying to get his love back in a movie.

On the inside, she curled in on herself, lying on the wet floor below her.
"W-Why?" She asked her capturer, clutching the fabric above her heart.
"Because I want to! I want your power! Those eyes belong to me!" She growled, compressing my soul more. The girl opened her mouth and screamed, turning her tonsils raw.

She kept going, leaping from branch to branch. She left the fire country and entered Land Of The Reptiles. Her body seemed to not be harmed by the pain inside her, but as she went on her way, a scratch, a mere microscopic mark appeared on her left cheek, just below her eye. 

Meanwhile back in what once was her home, an almighty battle had commenced. It was one of those battles that was split up into different fights. One in particular was against two jinchuriki. It was about to finish up, with Naruto leaping towards Gaara, slamming his head against the other. They fell simultaneously, crashing to the ground. Naruto pulled himself forward by his chin, towards Gaara.

The battle ended as Naruto dragged himself, completely exhausted, by his chin towards his opponent. As he approached Gaara, Sasuke came up behind him. His brows furrowed in anger, his eyes showing concern.

"Naruto! We need you! Soras missing" he cried, leaping away again. Naruto, who once was exhausted jumped up, adrenaline pumping through his body. He leapt to his feet, and spared one last shrivelling glare to Gaara as he left.

"Sora, missing?!" He murmured to himself as he raised his arm towards the sky, as if he could pull her from the heavens and place her beside him. Sora and he had formed a strong friendship over the course of the month, she understanding that he wasn't a monster, and neither was she.

Naruto met the others at the gate. Sasuke, Sakura, Ino, Choji, Shikamaru, Kiba, Shino, Hinata and Kakshi, Asuma and Kurenai stood awaiting him.
"Alright everyone, the plan is to go in, distract whoever is holding her captive and find her and bring her home" Kakashi told the others.

Meanwhile, Sora ran through the forest in the Reptile country. Unable to control her body she came to the entrance of a hideout. She leapt in and continued. She past multiple doorways, ignoring all except one, a pair of double black doors. She pushed them open dramatically and stepped into the cold room. She suddenly faced a man.

"Ah Yuri, so the possession was a success, how is your new body?" Asked the man tilting his head in a slight bow.
"Aaahhhh yes I love it" said Sora, in an inhumane voice. The voice ran deep through the room. She stood straight, shivering in excitement. Her hands quivering for the weapons at her belt.

"You do realise that the pathetic ninjas will come after your vessel" said Drakon. Sora nodded and awaited his orders.
"We need to develop the curse mark, report to the lab" he said.

With Naruto

The group flew through the trees with lightning speed as they neared Soras chakra signature. They came to an opening in the ground, covered in leaves.

The group leaped down upon hearing a blood curdling scream.
"SORA" shouted Naruto, jumping down the hole. Running through the halls, he thought of what would happen if they couldn't get her back.

Naruto shook his head in denial and kept running. A shrill scream rang throughout the lair.
"SORA!" The group of ninja shouted in unison. Continuing their run they came across a room that looked oddly like it had a throne in the middle.

Sitting upon it, was a reptilian man, who looked strangely like orochimaru.
"Ah I was wondering when you ninja would be getting here. Took you long enough" said the figure.

"Where's Sora?" Enquired Kakashi.
"Ah I believe her name is Yuri now" he replied standing to his full height.
"Give her back" Sakura growled.
"I think not. You see I see her as my toy, and I'm not done with her yet" he replied.

Sora

My sub-conscious stood behind bars, witnessing my physical body forgo harsh tests. My back curved as the demon named Yuri laughed in madness.
"Yes YES MORE POWER" she screamed.

My body suddenly pulled off the straps and placed her feet on the floor. I tried to break out but was unsuccessful as the demon ran towards a room that contained the people close to me.

I thrashed and screamed as she attacked my  friends.

And I couldn't do anything about it.
