Sand and Faulty Injury

I'm going to change it somewhat. All I am I going to say is more than one person gets injured. Find out~
~💥~
A streak of fear passed by everyone within the arena. Terrified for Lee, terrified by the prospect of Lee being either killed or badly injured...it radiated within this domain. They knew of Gaara's extreme strength and Sand abilities, how truly monstrous and terrifying it truly was.

Yukiya had rushed back after making sure Hinata was secure and had a steady heart beat: she now stood next to Haku at the railing, staring down at Gaara.

"FUCK OFF KAKASHI!" Zabuza was snarling with venom-that laced his tone- as the other perverted male leaned rather close to him, literally resting against his chest whilst Gai cried in the background. Trying to rid his toned chest of the perverted, silver haired male was harder than expected. Gai was screeching to the universe how youthful everyone was, whilst Akira was forced to awkwardly pat him on the back. The Ice Siblings exchanged looks and giggled slightly, now turning their attention to Gaara and Lee below them in the arena. For around five minutes Lee has been attacking to no prevail, as Gaara had continuously dodged, or just had not moved from his space as his sand allowed no passage.

"Gaara!" Yukiya shouted at the red haired male who stared up at her with a longing gaze of his. He revealed a small, sweet smile as she beamed (noticing her red, puffy eyes filled with hope). "You guys are doing great! Don't hurt him though, Gaara! Or, I won't fulfil our promise of marrying you when we are older!" Her beam widened even further, if it was humanly possible, as Gaara blushed quite vividly, eyes widening in realisation. She remembers...I was afraid she would forget me...forget her promise...

~🧸~ (Gaara's flashback)

"Will...you see me again?" The slightly taller female stared down at him with a soft look reflected in her spheres. She gave her signature smile that indicated she was as sad as he to be leaving him behind.
"I hope so, Gaara. I promised...right?" He smiled up at her. He blushed and became more flustered as the next words were spoken.
"And the promise to marry me...right?"
"...of course...I would never forget."

Yukiya had never returned after that.

Lee's attacks became more prominent, and the sand deflected each attack.
"Wow, he's controlling the sand."
"He's not controlling anything. It has a mind of its own." Kankuro murmured, watching along with Naruto. "You could say the sand is a living thing."
The slightly taller female had now escaped from the inside of her hoodie, eyes gleaming a mixture of various colours stained into two spheres. "Cool." Everyone sweat dropped at her simple answer.

Lee decided to retreat on top of a statue. Gai called out to him to see a specific technique that was only used during emergencies. The student and sensei shouted across the arena at each other until it was established he would be able to use his technique. Lee slides down his leg warmers down as carefully as possible, revealing a set of weights attached to his legs. Akira swore she heard Temari say it would make no difference against Gaara. He threw them down, which caused a slight shake to erupt across the arena. His chakra was littered across the arena: he was fast beyond belief: his speed could truly be compared to Akira. Gaara's sand could not compete with Lee's speed: Gaara got elbowed in the face, much to the surprise of Kankuro and some of the other teams.

"Keep it up, Lee!" Gai cheers, out of his corner. Lee began to unwrap his bandages: he performed Primary Lotus on "Gaara". He realised soon enough it was indeed a clone. His breath became less consistent, slower. His breath hitched as he started to charge another attack, one last time.

Now, Gaara was about to just let him pass out from exhaustion, but his tailed  beast, who had been silent for a while, was ready to tempt. The "power of love" had been a coping mechanism against Shukaku, it had been stronger than the longing for bloodshed. Shukaku had been able to break this barrier, and was now back to tempting. Persuading.
"Let me give you power. You can't withstand it...be honest. KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM KILL HIM."
"No...I can't...I won't..."
"THEN I WILL MAKE YOU!" Gaara convulsed for a few moments before his head faced the ground, a blood curdling smile on his face.

The sand from his gourd moved almost on its own: Lee could only try to run away as the sand followed him at extreme speeds: he managed to dodge before the sand wrapped around his leg and arm. As the words barely erupted from his lips, the sand squeezed: a grotesque crack was heard from throughout the arena.

Something happened that was unexpected.

....

Yukiya had jumped from the railing and had intervened between the attack. She was now enduring the sheer strength of the sand: it had now wrapped around her- this was Shukaku trying to get rid of her completely. For loving Gaara. For every pleasant memory she had formed yet..she could not stop this, however. The sand had encased itself around her left arm, and her throat, with sand wrapped around her stomach. A grotesque crack erupted...

"YUKIYA!" The teams eyes widened in realisation. All Lee could do was heave uncontrollably, being unable to breathe. Yukiya rose her hand in her the air, trying to speak but could not. Being unable to react well caused Gai to have to intervene. Yukiya collapsed to the ground, trying to stand up but to no prevail. No words escaped her lips in this moment. She rose her head and her eyes met Gaara's: her eyes narrowed in anger and vengeance, it was the most terrifying stare anyone had ever seen. She looked much like a demon, with a dark aura radiating off the shorter female. Even as blood dripped from her lips, her stare lingered. Gaara froze in realisation, hand raised before it fell at his side.

Yukiya and Lee were helped by medical ninja onto stretchers and were now carried out of sight.

Akira was about to go see Yukiya with literally all of Team 7, including Haku and Zabuza, until Kakashi stopped her for a moment.

"Don't let the anger consume you. It can be an uncontrollable force."
"How can't I? I just saw ma best friend..."

The next match was soon called, revealing Dosu against Choji. Until next time!
