Haruhi didn't think anything odd about Ayane wanting to go piss on her own, so with a shrug, she diverted her attention to a small centipede like bug that was currently crawling over her foot. Eyes wide in childlike curiosity, she would bend through her knees and crouch down to get a good look at the foreign creature. She poked it a few times with the hilt of a kunai and laughed when it flipped over on its back and got stuck. Not too long later she heard a shuffling in the grass followed by a yelp that caused her green eyes to snap up in the direction Ayane had went. Out came three strange people who bore no villiage symbol. They seemed a bit out of place, and when she saw the large guy holding her teammate up in the air, she stood and stepped forward, reaching behind her to grab the hilt of her sword. [B]"Don't even think about it! One move and she gets it."[/b] shouted the shortest of the three figures. He sounded like a man, so she assumed he was. Haruhi was worried about the safety of Ayane, not focused of anyone else. Her eyes were trained on the big man. He was her target. Only a few moments later did the big one, in a low burly voice, speak up. [B]“Let’s get started with this one then.”[/B] was all he said before snapping the neck of Ayane. The moment he tossed her teammates body on the ground, Haruhi was moving, weaving her hand signs for her clone jutsu, summoning two at each of her sides as she ran forward. Channeling chakra to her left fist, as soon as she was within a meters distance, she jumped up and came down fast on the three who each dodged by moving in different directions. One of her clones grabbed the body of Ayane and moved back just before Haruhi's fist connected with the ground and made a crater with a large BOOM. The dust and debris that was thrown up around her temporarily blocked her view of the area as she stood. She saw one clone had moved Ayane's body back to the group and the other was perusing the big guy who was now separated from the woman and the small man. Her green eyes glared at the man, anger boiling the blood in her veins. He had just killed someone right before her... and Haruhi was not kind at all to those who killed innocent people. Shaking out the pain in her left hand, she noticed a familiar presence stir within her. [Color=Coral][I]"My, my Haruhi-san... I haven't seen you this angry since your mother passed away. What is it with you humans and death... that makes you even more of a beast than me, hm?"[/I][/color] The unwelcome questioning voice in her head did nothing to help ease her emotions. [Color=PaleGreen]"How I act is not up for discussion, or the very least your criticism."[/color] she spoke aloud as she dashed forward towards her target. Her clone was fighting hand in hand with him, and seemed to be outmatched in strength, lasting only this long due to being smaller and more agile. [Color=Coral][I]"Do not mistake me my dear... I quite adore it when your serious, as your fights end up that much more... amusing to me. Though this time you are clearly not suited to fight this one at your current state. I can... offer you my assistance in exchange for a VERY good show... now doesn't that seem reasonable?"[/I][/color] Haruhi frowned at the suggestion. She was capable of fighting on her own with her own strength. She didn't need Gobi's help beating the shit out of somebody, no matter how big they were, and THAT was a fact. Willing her beast to stay quiet, she reached behind her and unsheathed her Kokuyōseki, bringing it down over her head towards the large man as she came upon him. As if with little effort, he punched her clone in the gut and reduced her to a puff a smoke before whirling around and catching her sword mid swing in between his hands. He had stopped it just inches from his head, and the force had caused his feet to dig into the ground a few inches as green eyes glared into cold black ones. [Color=PaleGreen]"Chidori!"[/color] With a smirk, Haruhi watched as the man's eyes widened, having not paid any attention to Haru's one remaining clone that had since joined the fight after getting Ayane's body to safety. Confident that her clone would be upon him any second, she was far from ready for his next move. Using his grip on Haruhi's sword to move her as she was still gripping the hilt, with a loud roar he would spin around, sending Haru smashing into her clone just as it approached the two. Her side hit her clone painfully and she was easily flung ten meters away as if she weighed nothing. Her clone poof ed away, and Haru rolled to a stop on the ground eventually, her large sword flung a good distance away from her as she lay on her back gasping. Having the wind knocked out of her, she wasn't ready for the man's second move towards her, aiming a kick to her side that caused her to fly up and into the base of a tree. She heard a loud CRACK and for a second, feared that it was her spine, that was until she felt herself falling backwards with the tree that had just snapped in half. [B]"Too easy. Pretty girl like you should stay home and clean."[/b] He said as he slowly walked towards the winded Haruhi. [Color=PaleGreen]"Gobi-nee chan... I may need to take you up on your offer..."[/color] Haruhi barely whispered. [COLOR=CORAL][I]"Hmm... only because I am afraid you may certainly die here. I'll give you a taste of my power. But... on one condition..."[/I][/color] Haruhi mumbled a [color=PaleGreen]"Hn?"[/color] as she struggled to sit up. [Color=Coral][I]"End him."[/I][/color]
