Sakura tried again, to get through the troubled kunoichi who seemed to be distracted by the sound ninja, and suddenly hugged the silver haired girl. "We're okay, right Sasuke? Just let them go and we'll get the scroll from them.. We can go meet the others in the tower and be done with this part of the test." She said. Silver's eyes widen briefly and her vines slowly began to unravel from around the other ninjas.

Gaara kept on his thoughts, until he saw his teammates. Kankuro and Temari went up to them, Temari having a look of relief. "Thank goodness you're alright!" She said, wanting to hug the girl but noticed her keeping her distance, so she kept hers as well. "We got worried when neither of you came back." Kankuro said.

(Sorry for the wait luv ><)

Silver glared at the sound ninjas, Ino's team were too shocked to move. Where had the vines come from? And..were they strangling the other ninjas? Sakura didn't know what was going on either, and Silver hasn't been apart of their team very long, but she knew the kunoichi wasn't a killer. Sakura went over to Sasuke and Silver, and placed a hand on her shoulders. "That's enough, Silver. If you kill them you'll regret it later. Please.." She said.

Gaara didn't say anymore, he simply nodded and started walking. He could see the despair and pain in her eyes. He was quiet for a while, thinking of how she must've been feeling, when in the same breath didn't understand because he was always shunned for being a monster. As a kid thoigh, he never wanted to hurt anyone, but it always happened. He also didn't understand why he wanted to make her feel better.. Or how to..

Sakura went to defend Silver and Naurto as the guys teammates went after them, but was caught by the female, by her hair. Sometime after Ino's team came to help, Sakura used her own kuni knife to cut her hair and turn on the female ninja, vowing to herself that she would be weak any more. She had to be strong, for Silver and Naruto.

During the fight with the sound ninja's Silver began to burn with a fever, and there was an aura around her. The tattoo had spread from her shoulder to her arm and the side of her neck like vines. She started to wake and noticed Sakura was hurt, so she began to sit up. Her teammates, along with another team, were fighting. Silver's vines began to sprout from the ground under the sound ninja's and wrap and their ankles, then grow and wrap around their legs and so on until the vines had completely wrapped around their bodies. "Leave..my team alone.." She said quietly.

Gaara stopped walking when he noticed she had gotten off of the sand and walked back over to her, then placed a hand on her heart. "I know what it's like..being a monster.. You don't have to hide it from us, or me.. To me.. You're still you.." He said quietly.

Sakura was also trying to figure what to do. What if they got attacked by another crazy guy! "Sasuke.. I know you're stronger than me, and you're a loner.. Please don't leave me all alone, okay?" She murmured wearily.

Once it had returned to bring Alice, Gears used his sand to make a 'bed' under her and carried her back to where Temari and Kankuro were.

Silver soon passed out from the pain, and Sakura carefully got her up on her back piggy-back style. She nodded lightly and followed Sasuke to a opening in the forest with a small cavern had been made by the roots of an old and large tree. Sakura went under the curved roots and slowly adjusted Silver as to lay her down on the ground. What were they going to do? Normally she'd feel better with Saskue around, but right now she was very worried for her teammates.

---

Gaara continued to watch the blood fox, the pain in his chest (heart) not leaving. Slowly, as the Fox began to wash itself off, Gaara stepped towards the beast, not a trace of fear in his eyes or his expression. He wanted Alice back..

Orochimaru pulled back from Silver and was caught off guard by Saskue's attack. He got hit, then chuckled and sank into the tree. Silver tightly placed on hand on where he bit her, still in a great deal of pain. Sakura held her close to her, trying to calm her down. "Sasuke! What do we do? Naruto.. Now Silver's hurt." She was trying really hard not to cry.

---

Gaara stayed hidden from the blood fox, watching it. He could see the blood tears, and feel it's blood lust, and sorrow. Gaara grabbed where his heart was. Why did he feel like this?

(Wait a sec.. He doesn't even have that yet O.o
Is it okay for him to have it so soon?)

Silver did what she could to back up her teammates with her vines and earth jutsus, while looking over Sakura. Orochimaru had grabbed Naruto and sealed his fox chakra, then tossed him aside as snake food, and Silver used her vines to wrap around him and bring the unconscious boy over to her, that was when Orochimaru's neck stretched out like a snake and he sank his teeth into her neck.

Silver's body tensed and she yelled out in pure pain, and a tattoo formed on her shoulder.

---

Temari and Kankuro watched with surprise as their teammate began to bleed and backed away from them. Temari placed a hand on Kankuro's shoulder when he went to speak, and simply shook her head. "You had better catch up with us, Alice." She said quietly yet seriously. Her concern turned to horror when her tailed beast took form. Even Gaara's eyes had widen a bit. She was the same as him.. Temari covered her ears when the screams were heard and Kankuro quickly got her out of there, moving her elsewhere.

Gaara stood there a moment before narrowing his eyes and following the screams. He wanted to see her.. And he wanted to see her monster.

The ninja then focused his attention on Silver, and she felt her legs lock up. "I know you, child.. It's a shame you dont don't.." He spoke, his ' mask' starting to peel and reviled a golden snake eye. "I could tell you the truth about who are." He said. Silver blinked and stared at him. Naruto was starting to get angry. "Why would she go anywhere with you, you creep! She's Silver, and she's our teammate!" He yelled, going in for an attack, his chakra changing.

"We have to fight.. He's not going to let us leave." Silver said, glancing at Sasuke. "Fight him? But..!" Sakura retorted. "We don't have a choice!" Silver said, now looking at her.

---

Temari had a feeling she knew what was going on with Alice, it was the same as when Gaara started losing control of his one tail.. "Leave you? Are you nuts?" She asked, serious. Kankuro set his wrapped up puppet down. "Even if you could, we don't leave our teammates behind, for any reason." He stated calmly. Gaara nodded lightly and used his sand to find the stalker, just to wrap it around him and pull him out of the cover of the trees. He wanted to kill him.. The guy used a jutsu with his umbrella to make it rain needles, and Gaara quickly used his sand to shield his teammates.

Kaito heard the knock and slowly made his way over to the younger brother, then knelt beside him, unsure of what to do for him. "I'm here.." He said quietly. "What can I do?" He asked, wondering if he could even answer him.

Silver gently took Sakura's hand and went to pull her back some, silently telling her they needed to move, now.

Once Naruto was free he looked ticked. "What're we running for? We can totally take this guy!" He said. Silver stopped and looked at him. "You obviously can't feel his chakra, he has intentions to kill us Naruto! You can't possibly fight him!" She said. Sakura was on Silver's side. "What are you so scared of? He's just another ninja!" He said, going in for an attack. "Naruto!" Silver called, terrified as a giant snake came up from the trees as if to eat him. Sakura brought her hands to cover her mouth.

Kankuro glanced at Alice when she spoke. "Someone's been following us, hence the traps." He said. "The less fighting he have to do, the better it is for Gaara." He explained. Gaara paused when he felt a. .presence..from Alice and he glanced at her, then moved his gaze to see if he could tell where their stalker was hiding.

Kaito tried not to land too roughly as he grounded in the front porch of the house, and stifled a frown when he folded his wings. They were sore, and stiff, which meant the numbness was wearing off, and he could tell some of the stitches came undone. He slowly opened the door. "Valern, I'm sorry we were gone longer than expected.. But.. I need your help, please." He said quietly, but loud enough for the younger brother to hear him. He felt bad for leaving him.

Silver began to feel uneasy after Naruto went in the bushes to take a leak. The four of them had come with a password that they knew Naruto would never remember, and that's about the time a grass ninja made himself look like Naruto, he even got the password right.

A fight broke out between the four of them, with Naruto being tied up. At some point, the ninja had swallowed his scroll and Silver could feel a very murderous chakra coming off of him. "..We have to run. There's no way we can take him." Silver said, glancing at Sasuke wearily. She was scared, and Silver didn't get scared easily.

---

Gaara and the others noticed the strings, and Temari used her fan to take them down. "Damn, I was hoping we could get through this without a fight.." Kankuro murmured quietly.

Silver hoped she could be useful to her team, seeing how they haven't gone on any missions with her team before now. Sakura patted her shoulder, and offered her a reassuring smile, and helped her feel a bit better. Naruto mumbled and grumbled a little.

When the gates were opened, each team headed into the forest.

Gaara led his team into the forest, actually not for someone to go after. He just wanted to a get a feel for his surroundings.

(Wait.. Before or after the written test? I'm confused O.o' and I'd think they got closer after the hot spring and bbq ^-^)

The three of them nodded as Sasuke spoke. "We need to be on our toes." Sakura said quietly. Silver waa quiet, unsure of what to expect. Naruto opened his big mouth and claimed he was going to win, no matter what.

Temari hadn't told the boy's what she and Alice talked about, and she was a little concerned about how quiet she was being today. Gaara glanced at Alice with eyes that wanted to know if she was alright.
