It was in the moment of their propulsion from each other, that Jaakuna was under attack. With all the commotion in the room, her current dark world was illuminated rather brightly. But it was a grim bright world the Kunoichi saw in her head. [color=a187be]"Jaakuna!!"[/color] Kiku screamed, and landed on her hands and feet - again in a low crouching position as she sailed backwards. Hurriedly, getting back to her feet - she reached around her neck for her chains, but remembered she'd passed them off to Wind-Seeker. She had faith in her teammates and their abilities, but death was something the Kunoichi hadn't experienced yet. Something she didn't want to experience. Relief hit her as she realized Kurin had come to his rescue, but only a moment too late. Her stomach dropped again, but then saw Jaakuna had come out clean from the situation, though now something in his Aura was different.

It wasn't that she was blinded by the light, but she could now feel a heat now upon her skin. Reminding her of stepping out into the sun for the first time of the day. Kiku knew it meant the beast's lights were shining upon them. She heard, and felt the rockets come alive in the air, and they were heading straight towards Jaakuna. If her mask were removed - her eyes would be wide with fear, and horror for her teammate. Not even thinking back to the warmth that was now tinging her skin. She tried to recover, and took in a deep breath attempting to assess everyone's location, and what she could even do. Her Genjutstu was useless, her Taijutsu could help - but not against a large armored Golem, and she had some Ninjutsu that unfortunately wasn't enough to stop this thing.

Her hair seemed to rise with the [i]swoosh[/i] that was coming at them - hearing it first. Kiku then saw the Hand coming at them, and was ready to jump out of the way of its smash. But then, Raiton nets shot down from the golems fingers, quicker than she had time to react. Her first thought was to quickly jump through the biggest hole, but there were none. Kiku's fists came to her temple's, almost in a feeble attempt to beat an answer out of her head. But really, she was upset at how useless she currently was. Then the floor rose, she could feel them coming closer to the energy of the palm. As she began to argue with herself, childishly, she was swept up again. His arm came around her pulling the two close together, again. She was very trusting of this Shinobi. Well, she should be - he was of her village, they were teammates, and both wanted the same thing. To advance forward. Her arms were in a rather weird positon, as he pulled her close her thumb instinctively lifted one side to fully check her surroundings with her failing eyesight. Her arms folded up in between the two, rather uncomfortable. She quickly fixed this, and wrapped her arms around her neck. In some weird essence, this would probably be a moment she'd remember. 

Her mask did fall, the wind sphere he was creating was slightly lifting some of her hair and keeping her mask slightly risen. He was stern, and sweat dripped from his chin, his brown mop flopping around in the self-created wind storm. Concentrated, he was another person in these instances. Still strudel boy, but now he was strudel boy with a different cause. She felt her breath stop in her lungs, and then smiled at the weirdest of times to be smiling. It hit her what she could do. It would deplete a good portion of her Chakra, and reserves, to use it at the force she wanted too - but it'd save them. [color=a187be]"Bukijutsu..."[/color] She stated, pulling him in tighter to make the handsigns she needed behind his back. The daggers suddenly pointed out of the earth on either side of them - rising slowly, she looked up as the palm came closer. With Shizuka's current windforce, they'd shoot up - and faster thanks to his help, unknowingly. Also, they were still coated with his chakra. The daggers fully emerged from the ground, Kiku then quickly unwrapped Shizuka's arm. 

Freeing herself she then stuck her arms out to the side where the Chained Daggers honed into it the palms of her own hands. She completely crouched down, and then jumped up towards the palm. With even more chakra being sent to her arms, she swiftly threw both of the daggers straight for the center of the palm. Connecting, the chains then wrapped around the palm, and she made another handsign as they suddenly began to tighten. Sinking the daggers in further, and restraining the fingers together. Her free eye with now limited vision looked back to Shizuka, as she fell back to the ground.  The breath of relief she inhaled couldn't be compared to none other, the swift escape of near death. Another moment of happiness sweltered up in the girl as she heard Jaakuna's voice on the transmitter, that was still attached to the top of her boot. As she landed right back in front of Shizuka, her hair waved out wildly - and then settled as the air did. Putting a hand on his shoulder, she smiled, but also felt a bit weak and was trying to stabilize herself But, as luck would have it - Jaakuna had one more thing to add, and now it sent worry through her as she realized where he had landed.
