Whoever was carrying Airi was someone carrying an additional person as well. The carrier wasn’t struggling but she could tell that the carrier was shifting her weight and the weight of another person. It took her merely a moment to understand what was happening and during the carrier’s leaps, she used their stumbling to her advantage. Her only thought, her only goal was to make sure she could leave a trail to the women kidnapped. 

Shaking herself more than the actual ride, she had fallen about seven times and on the way down, she pulled some of the bark from the trees as she fell. Hopefully it was enough to show where they were heading. But they the seventh drop, she was passed off to someone else; which she was kind of grateful for considering she had fallen a good couple of stories from treetops and landing in it was thick heavy branches until she stabilized either on a branch or on the ground. 

Her tactics seemed to work well enough that at some point the voices talked with one another – 

[color=skyblue]“We’ve wasted a lot of time because you keep dropping the blonde.”[/color]

[color=violet]“Hey it’s not my fault! This is a bumpy trip and you made me carry two.”[/color]

[color=skyblue]“You’re so pathetic.” The firm voice called out at the group settled on the ground, before dropping the girls together. “You can’t even carry two girls and you’ve been at this for many years. Why is there an issue now?”[/color]

This was her moment, she had to do it, it. If she could, there’s a possibility that she could lead the men away from the unconscious girls and buy some time before reinforcements arrive. Airi took this chance and sprang to her feet before dashing off in the direction they came from. 

[color=skyblue]“What?! She’s awake?! GET HER!” The man who could be best defined as the leader shouted before the men broke off to try to catch her.[/color]

Airi took off towards the village following the trail she had left, She might have to fight her way through but if she oculd get them separated, maybe she could take them out one or two at a time. Airi got her wish as one landed in front of her; she certainly needed to work on her speed but the point of this was not to get away, it was to separate them. One man landed in front of her and she was quick to defend herself, leaving him curled in a ball on the ground; dead no, injured yes.

Taking off once again, she hurried through the forest until she was circled in by four of the men two in front of her and two behind her. Taking in a deep breathe she gathered herself and rose a hand into the air, “Summing J—WHOA!” Ready to call upon help, something she hadn’t done in a long time, the man she injured before used a rope and tied it around wrist, closing her hand into a fist and hoisting her into the air as if she was a puppet. “Let me go!” She demanded; her legs kicking as she flicked them upwards, wrapping her legs around the rope she pulled herself up and began to undo the rope holding her wrist. Except the man let go of the rope and she felt to the ground with a thud. 

[color=skyblue]Jumping quickly, the men were on her, holding her down while the leader, the man she had injured walked up to her. “So you woke up.” He said with a snarky tone to his voice as another man ripped the blonde’s hair back, the man leaned over with a snarky grin. “I bet you think you’re real smart hitting me and attempting to get away. But you’ve picked the wrong group to mess with.” The man brought back a large foot and kicked it square into her stomach.  Her scream was loud in a mix of pain and presence. She needed to get the word to anyone who may be near where they were and more importantly, where the girls were.[/color]

Being pinned by her legs and one man holding each arm prevented her from doing hand signs. A second kick came, this time to her chest and she felt something crack. This scream came pure from pain and the volume was higher than the one before. 

[color=skyblue]“Adorable… really but we can’t have a runner. Too bad, blondes fetch a heavy price as slaves. Killing you will be easy, sad but easy.” Pulling out a kunai, he rose it over his head to bring it down to strike against her neck.[/color]

Spitting out some blood, Airi turned her blue gaze upward. She was a Leaf Ninja Chunnin in that moment and she wasn’t going to look away from death. She was ready to die if it meant she bought her fellow Chunnin  to find the other kidnapped girls.
