Ibuki walks through the corridors, after just obtaining the Venom blade part she knows its time to exact her revenge on Yashira and save her two friends in the process. She exhales deeply and swallows some bile. Then she glances at her shoulder and grimaces.

The improvised bandages are now warm and soaked in a good amount of crimson blood. The iron full liquid now making the cloth sticky, it clings closely to her skin and aggravates her wound greatly. The mere thought of cleaning the wound with Alcohol later makes shivers pass through Ibuki's spine as she walks on.

Crap… d*mned wound is killing me, I gotta save those two fast. I'm starting to get drowsy and dizzy, I can only push down the exhaustion for so long. I wonder where Chunli is anyway…" Ibuki thinks as she retraces her former route and with it the location of the thugs she knocked out only minutes earlier.

She sighs as she's now getting sick of the monotonous metal corridors, but knows that she has no choice so she quickly pushes the thought aside as she reaches the two limp figures of her former assailants.

She inhales deeply and rubs her eyes with the back of her hand. Her eyes itch and burn, her body urging her to stop, lie down and rest. But her mind and will objecting and pushing the body onwards.

She reaches the left turn where she ambushed and tied the thugs and takes it. She looks down at the two bleeding and beaten men and sneers under her mask. Her eyes are full of disgust and anger, yet she forces herself to calm down even though in her exhausted state it's extremely hard to remain in control

Especially when your body aches all over, and you have a lethal pounding in your head that's almost like a rock band's drummer's work. She rubs her temples with her fingers and breathes slowly, and then she fixes her composure and arranges her hair quickly.

Then she looks down before crouching to reach one of them, and then she slaps his face forcefully. The slap echoes loudly through the empty corridors. In reactions the thug moans and coughs weakly, yet he still remains unconscious. Ibuki rolls her eyes and grabs his hand.

She examines it quickly and locates the pressure point easily. She then twists it quickly and jabs her thumb in the center of his wrist nerves. Exacting more and more pressure for a few short seconds. The man's eyes snap open and he screams, as the pain is intense like liquid fire, running through his arm and burning into his flesh and nerves.

Ibuki then lets go of the arm and looms over the tied up man, her eyes cold and calm. He looks up at her, his breathing irate and eyes wide. He coughs and shivers before trying to move unsuccessfully, the binds masterfully tied and deeming him immobile. He looks at himself and sees the thick ropes; he panics and realizes his completely at Ibuki's mercy.

"I've got a few questions…" Ibuki says calmly, her composure unmoving, her brown eyes locked deep into his, the cold brown ovals burning into his very soul, scaring the life out of him. He remembers seeing them narrow in angry and the results following, and knows he better now try his luck and defy her will.

"Where are my friends being held?" She asks coldly.

"I…I don't know…" he mutters and coughs.

Ibuki shakes her head and stomps on his foot, her heel ramming into his limb, bone colliding on bone, then she twists it slightly and he cries out. Her heel grinding his bones and sending surges of pain into the man's nerve system.

"Listen to me, you stupid motherf*cker! I'm in no mood for games, I am this close to losing my patience…So I suggest you answer now and not on the brink of death later" she says and removes her heel, stopping the pain and letting him relax and calming down.

"I…I…" he begins and sees Ibuki pull back her fist. It begins emitting a soft blue glow, a blue hue surrounding the knuckles. Her lifted fist only shakes slightly as the energy flows into her arm, her eyes glint slightly with blue wisps of Chi as the peak of the move grows closer.

Then he fist flies forward, in blinding speed, sailing through the air, leaving a soft trail of energy as it cuts through the air.

He shuts his eyes and prays for help in his mind "…OK! OK! I'll talk D*mnit!" He says and Ibuki's fist stops an inch from his nose.

"Predictable, cowards, all of them…" She thinks and smirks under her mask at his fear.

"I'm listening…" she says coldly, pulling back her fist and moving to cross her hands, tapping her foot lightly on the metallic floor.

He opens his eyes and sighs in relief. "North wing *inhale* you got prison cells * exhale, gulp* cell 5b" he says, while sweating and panting, "…now will you let me go?" he asks in a small and hopeful tone.

Ibuki chuckles lightly under her breath and crouches, moving to kneel closely to him, leaving her face an inch from his, her eyes peering deeply into his "One more question…where's Yashira?" she asks, this time her voice oozing with venom and hate.

He looks at her and gulps, now shivering "I…I can't tell you that…" he says in a frightened whisper. Ibuki's eyes narrow in response to his reply and her lips purse into a small and tight slit under her mask.

She then moves her hand in lightning speed and wraps it around his neck, pinning him closely to the wall while moving the other hand to grab a Kunai and stick it an inch beside his left temple, leaving it stuck in the wall.

"Don't f*ck with me…you stupid a**hole! I meant it when I said I'm in no mood for games" she shouts in his face, her eyes now reflecting great anger. This reaction being a direct result of little rest she's had in the last week, the blackmailing, the concept of her friends possibly raped and her frustration of her helplessness in the entire situation.

All these factors making her usually mellow temper melt and remold itself into pure rage and unbelievable anger, one burning so hot from her eyes and body language, one would think a demon from hell is possessing the adoscolent ninja.

He shakes and almost wets himself as he looks into her angry eyes, "I can't…I can't" he says, sobbing to himself. Ibuki then exacts more pressure on his neck and presses him to the wall, choking slightly before moving in awesome speed and ramming another Kunai near his right temple.

"My aim gets worse as I increase the speed…" she says and then with even greater speed moves and jams another blade on the left side of his neck, scrapping his skin and leaving a cut.

He shivers and looks at her with pure terror "I…I…can't!" he mutters while shutting his eyes.

She rams one next to his ear before pulling back and standing up, then she procures another one and twists it between her fingers masterfully, "Ya know…I've never tried throwing one blindly" she muses out loud and closes her eyes, pulling the blade back.

"NO STOP! He's in the North west wing! HONEST!" He shouts and sobs, fearing for his life. Ready to feel the blade's edge carve through him like butter.

Ibuki smiles under her mask and puts down the Kunai dagger, strapping it back to its place. Then she walks up to him and reaches for her Kunai within the wall, straining a little and pulling them out of the wall before strapping them back into her uniform and arranging the bag on her back.

"Thank you, you're too kind" she says sarcastically and slams his head unto the wall by pushing it with her foot, the back of his head slam into the surface hard, followed by a dull thud. This action successfully knocking him unconscious and making him slump back to the floor.

"Nothing personal, strictly business" she mutters as she walks away, heading towards Yashira first. Her anticipation for vengeance and thirst for release fueling her body, which seems to be revived and energetic once more.

"I've been waiting for this for a long time Yashira, it's finally time to pay the piper…I'll teach you never to Rape a woman again…this I swear" She thinks as she walks silently through the semi illuminated corridors.

The two thugs are dragging Sarai through the corridors. She eyes them both with fearful eyes, as shein their arms. Panic fills her heart and she can't think straight, only one thought run through her mind "Help me! Please somebody! Anybody…help me!" She thinks as they go deeper and deeper into the complex.

She sobs silently, afraid to be hit by one of the thugs again should she be "insolent" enough to sob loudly, she reluctantly lets them pull her, too weak and afraid to muster any kind of resistance. Her abdomen hurts from the previous blows it had been dealt, and her breathing is labored as she pants between sobs.

Suddenly one of them stops and pins her to the wall "Listen b*tch! I'm tired of your sobbing silent or loud, either you shut up now, or I'll have to shut you up!" He says pulling back his fist.

Sarai gasps in fear, and shuts her eyes tightly, bracing herself for being hit again, shivering and pursing her lips as well in preparation to be greeted by his fist.

The other one grabs his arm "Cut it out man! You know Yashira would go ballistic if you bruise his new toy, let her sob, it's not like it's gonna help her, right?" the other reasons with his counterpart. The thug pinning her sneers at her and lets go. "Stupid lil b*tch, you're lucky the boss is so strict or I'd teach ya a lesson now" he says and spits in her face.

And they continue "Toy? I'm not even a person to them…oh my god, he's gonna hurt me so badly now…if you're listening…please…save me" She thinks and prays under her breath while wiping the spit off her cheek, her face twisting in great disgust.

"Will ya look at that, she's praying" One says as they continue, seeing her mouth move and hearing her silent mumbling.

"Not gonna help ya girlie, your fate is sealed, destined to become an object of our boss's pleasure," He says and pats her rear "Ooh he will like your gear indeed!" he says and chuckles.

Sarai shivers at his touch and shuts her eyes even tighter. They laugh at her reactions, their sick minds relishing on her fear as they bug her further, testing her patience by touching her in various places, only stopping when she begins sobbing loudly and curling into a ball, making it impossible to move.

They hit her back and ribcage a few times, to force her to move and then keep on walking for a few minutes, tired of their perverted games before reaching a wooden door guarded by two similarly big fellows.

"Special delivery for da boss, his evening "snack"" One of the thugs holding Sarai says and smiles evilly. Sarai tries to break their hold, now terrified in every fiber of her body and mind.

They shove her into the other two's arms, and turn to leave. The other two drag her inside after opening the door. Yashira is sitting by his desk and talking on the phone when she's thrown inside.

"Boss, here's the girl you asked for, all ready and ripe for the taking" one says and smirks.

Yashira motions them to hold on "Hold on a second," he says to the person he's talking to on the phone. Then he puts his hand on the receiver and nods "I need to finish a few calls first, throw her in the bedroom and lock her in," he says before resuming his call.

The thugs shrug and nod "Will do Kumichou" They say in Unison, and try dragging Sarai, which suddenly shows great resilience in the face of the immanent danger, and desperately tries to stay in place.

"Please, don't do this…please! Don't hurt me!" she pleads while sobbing, trying to break free suddenly showing surprising strength and resistance, the thug's unable to make her budge.

Then one of the thugs scowls and rams his fist between her shoulder blades with all his strength, the force behind his blow too much for Sarai's body to endure. The force forcing Sarai's gentle frame to the ground heavily, knocking the wind out of her as well. The only reason she doesn't crash to the ground and lay limp is because they're holding her by the arms.

"Don't fight it, it's futile and it'll hurt ya more, you got the b*tch!" one of them says and grabs her hair, forcing her to look at him before slapping her. She sobs more and shuts her eyes before he lets go.

The other one moves and opens another wooden door, then he motions to his counterpart and he nods before grabbing Sarai's shirt from behind, while grabbing her hair with the other and tossing her like yesterday's trash.

She lands heavily on the marble floor inside the room, before they close the door. "Have fun girlie, hope ya don't scream too much," one says and laughs as the two move to resume their guarding post.

Sarai crawls up to the farthest wall and sits up, leaning against it while shutting her eyes, wishing she could melt into it and escape this horror she's about to be subdued to. She brings her legs up to her chest and hugs them close as she curls up to a ball.

Now left Sobbing onto her legs, the tears flowing rapidly down her cheeks and pants, but she's too afraid to care. Panic and fear all she can think of, her hopes for rescue, shattered and broken when she realizes she's locked inside a very large bedroom.

A few minutes pass and Yashira enters the room. He closes the door behind him and eyes the sobbing and frightened Sarai. "Oh don't be afraid child, I won't hurt you if you cooperate…this doesn't have to hurt" he says softly and moves to remove his tie.

He sits on the bed, removing his jacket and shirt and motions her to be seated next to him. Sarai shakes her head and tries to back away, but is stopped by the wall. Her lips tremble and throat aches from the great amount of crying she has been doing in the last 30 minutes.

He waits for 2 minutes, hoping she'll loosen up, but of course due to the circumstances she doesn't and his patience begins to wither. "I said come here B*tch!" He shouts, anger quite apparent in his voice.

Sarai by now is totally terrified and crying without control, shivering and burying her face in her lap.

He gets up, his hands clenched into fists as he approaches her " If you won't come willingly, you'll come unwillingly" he says calmly and as he reaches the middle of the room when suddenly somebody knocks on the door.

"Kumichou! Kumichou!" one of his guards says urgently before his voice stops and a distant thud is heard.

Yashira growls lightly and stops, looking back. He stands in the middle of the room for 2 minutes but then upon seeing the knocking stopped he decides to ignore it, reaching her quickly and looming over her, she looks up at him, pure fear in her eyes as he moves his hands toward her.

Ibuki reaches the northwestern wing of the complex. She managed to reach the area quite quickly, no guards where to be seen, and neither were security cameras. Ibuki isn't one to complain as she soon feels Yashira's vile presence nearby.

But she also feels another presence, one that emanates great fear, sadness, and helplessness on a very intense in high level, so high it's Chi seems to linger in the air.

Ibuki recognizes it immediately and her teeth grit hard, her previous determination now slowly being exchanged with rage, her mind being overcome with blind anger, logic being buried under the urge to kill the beast doing this to her friend.

"Sarai! He's hurting Sarai! That b*st*rd! I'll…I'll kill him!" She thinks as the thought of Yashira touching and harming her friend sexually and mentally making her sick, but more than that, it makes her furious. Any thoughts of showing remorse, being pushed down more and more.

She feels her blood boil in her anger, her eyes narrow and her body tenses and a very unladylike growl is released from the depths of her vocal cords, her pain and exhaustion seem to wash away. Only the target is important now, seek and destroy Yashira and in that save and protect you friend and many others like her.

But she soon calms herself down, reason somehow seeping into her angry psyche, she knows being angry and sloppy will most probably let her location in, and thus make her job much harder. She forces herself to be silent and stealthy also moving to keep a cool facade, to mask her raging emotions.

She then finds his office, his sick and perverted aura, contaminating the air, lingering like the smell of rotten apple in the sweet spring air. She sees his guardfher location in the corner of the junction and her mind races into battle plans.

She reaches for a pouch strapped to her side and takes out two black spheres. Holding one in each hand. She feels the cool plastic against her warm skin and activates the bomb. Now knowing that she has only mere seconds to act, so then she dashes out of her hiding place, sprinting toward the guards. She closes the gap between them quickly.

The guards see her and reach for pistols they have strapped to their thighs. But Ibuki leaps forward and throws the two spheres simultaneously, beating them with her awesome speed and agility.

The two spheres escape her hand and hit the men in the forehead, upon contact they explode with fiery rage, bursting in light. The men cry loudly and grip their faces.

Ibuki lands a few feet before them, she enters her stance and her foot swings forward, it hits one of them in the groin area, the man bends over and falls to his knees right before Ibuki's foot is swung backwards, hitting the other in the solar plexus.

Then she practically roars and lunges forward, pulling her fist back and ramming it into the bend over thug's back, The force of the momentum crashing into the man's spin, in reaction he collapses to the ground and tries to get up in vain.

Ibuki's eyes are now very cold and angry and she grabs him by the hair before ramming his forehead into the floor, the contact followed by a thud and weak groan as his forehead is split open by the contact and blood oozes from a fresh and deep gash.

Upon seeing the man now lays limp and unconscious, blood oozing from his now broken nose and shattered teeth as well. Ibuki turns around quickly to deal with the other thug. Upon seeing the other one enter the room hurriedly. She leaps into action and follows. Now determined to stop him before he can alert his boss.

He manages to reach Yashira's door and knocks on it hardly "Kumichou! Kumichou!" he says urgently before turning around and seeing Ibuki's almost blurry frame approaching him quickly. But he sees her for a split second before her foot rams into his right temple. The crushing blow of her foot against his skull dazing him.

The inner roundhouse sends him tumbling to the side, crashing onto the ground with as great thud. Ibuki then turns to him and approaches him slowly. Then he reaches for his gun and aims it at her wanting to stop her, but she kicks it out of his hand lazily and shakes her head at his sorry attempt.

Then she motions him to get up calmly with a gesture of her fingers; he backs away, crawling on the ground. Then he sees a possible weapon he can use, so he grabs a nearby wooden ornament, an ancient long wooden stick with Japanese Kanji carved on it and lunges at Ibuki swinging it wildly.

Ibuki ducks under the swing and steps forward while sending her fist flying forward thus punching his gut, her knuckles ramming hard into his flesh before stepping forward kicking his chin. The quick attack lashes out and sending the thug off balance, as the momentum of the blow sends him stepping backwards.

Ibuki then leaps forward and brings both hands swinging forward as she chops the man with both hands; both hands hit the sides of his neck and send him into the darkness of unconsciousness.

Ibuki then hears Sarai's audible sobs and Yashira shouting and approaches the door. She tries to open the door carefully, only to find it locked. She growls lightly and looks around. She then gets a devious idea as she sees her newly beaten target. She then moves and picks him up.

She hefts him on her shoulder before grunting and throwing him at the door with all her strength. The force of his weight sends the door breaking out of its hinges and falling forward, causing quite a commotion as it crashes and shatters with audible sound effects.

Meanwhile inside the room Yashira snaps his attention to the door as it comes crashing into the room. His eyes are wide and he's shocked to see his guard lying limp on the shattered remnants of the door. He curses under his breath upon seeing a feminine silhouette in the light of the outside room, guessing its goal.

He can't recognize who it is, that is before it speaks to him "You actually thought you could just push me around didn't you?" a cold and angry feminine voice pierces through the silent atmosphere, venom coating each word like icing on a birthday cake.

He gulps and laughs nervously "Oh…Ibuki…hi" he says looking around him and seeing he's quite unarmed and in no position to fight the Shinobi, moreover in her seemingly furious state.

Sarai looks up at Ibuki and smiles widely, sudden happiness and relief shining in her eyes, "Ibuki…Chan…you came!" she whispers to herself before dashing forward and hugging Ibuki tightly. Ibuki is a little taken aback but hugs back as Sarai sobs against her shoulder, wetting her dry shoulder with hot and salty tears.

Ibuki eyes Yashira with growing anger, he tries to approach the two but Ibuki's eyes signal him "you better not even think about it" and he steps back. She soothes her friend by stroking her back and hair.

"Sarai…shhh…it's ok…go wait for me outside…me and Yashira…need to talk" she says making her friend to look at her. Sarai doesn't want to let go and speaks quickly venting out all her fears and pain, eyeing Ibuki with big teary eyes. Ibuki catches each word sent forth by the panicked girl's mouth. And upon each thing spoken her anger grows brighter and more intense.

Ibuki holds her arms, slowly calming her down, talking to her soothingly and stroking her arms gently. She Looks straight into her eyes "It's ok…I'm here, calm down Sarai…you're safe" she says in a soft and comforting voice. Sarai slowly begins sniffing and calming down under Ibuki's confidence and warm eyes.

Yashira suddenly sprints forward and slams into them, knocking them both aside before running toward the door, having one last card he knows might save him "You'll never catch me!" he says also thinking she'll never be able to find him in his own base.

Sarai lands on the bed while Ibuki stumble slightly but instinctively regains her footing "Wait here" she says to Sarai that nods, knowing Ibuki is here and will take care of everything.

Ibuki then grins under her mask as she hears his comment "Said the fly to the spider…" she mutters in reply to his arrogant remark as she dashes after him.
