Trouble in the Sand 2~~~Chapter 42

~~~Chapter 42
But, before the wolves could even move, a huge torrid of sand flew into the room, crushing them all. Gaara stood at the room’s entrance, breathing heavily. Then he saw Rutsu.
“Rutsu!”
“Ah… I guess your Gaara… nice to meet you… I’m Hunter… now I’ll do to you what I did to her!”
Hunter dashed at Gaara, leaping from the ceiling to the floor and back again, dodging sand coming his way. Hunter tried to punch Gaara, but the sand caught it. Hunter only smiled.
A wolf pounced on Gaara from behind, getting through even his sand armor, biting his back. Blood fell to the floor. And as Gaara staggered back, Hunter stood on one foot and launched a barrage of kicks with the other, pushing Gaara into the wall.
“You may have this sand, but I’ll get through! So, how does it feel? To finally be vulnerable!”
Hunter then delivered a downwards kick unto Gaara’s head, sending him into the ground. But he wasn’t done; he began to spin and jumped up, coming down on Gaara like a drill. Gaara’s sand armor flew around as Hunter’s feet broke into the wound left by the wolf.
Gaara yelled in pain as Hunter threw him up by the back of his head and kicked him into the wall as he came back down.
“Wolf feasting!” Hunter yelled, summoning about five wolves.
The vicious beasts went for Gaara, but the sand wouldn’t allow it. The grains of sand crushed the wolves easily. Gaara stood, blood now spewing from the injury on his back.
“As expected.”
“You… bastard…” Gaara barely breathed out, before falling to the ground.
Hunter stomped on his head turning his foot, pushing his face into the ground. Rutsu, barely alive, was boiling over with rage. She stood shakily as Hunter slowly turned at her, surprised at her second wind.
“You… how dare you hurt him!”
Gaara had a nose bleed.
“What are you gonna do? You’re both already almost dead.”
He was right. No matter how much she wanted to win, Rutsu couldn’t fight at all in the state she was in. Then, she remembered what Komacki had said.
“Raise your chakra if you’re in danger” went through her mind.
Her chakra began to spike, but only for a second, before she fell to the ground once more. She closed her eyes, hoping that someone would come to their aid.But no one came, and Hunter snickered at her petty attempt…
