[Action Thread][Illusions of Truth][Closed to Kabumi and Kureno]
It was early morning when two anbu guards escorted Yakushi Kabumi from her cell. Of course, in the Torture & Interrogation cells, there's no clock or daylight to tell you what time of day it is. Here, it was as though time did not exist, but rather the imprisonment and torment stretched into a slow, unchecked eternity. But it was early morning

And as always, it was in the last place she looked.
Leaving a trail of corpses and soon-to-be-corpses in her wake, Sasoriza strolled onward with her twin salamander puppets behind her, and her scorpion puppet at her side - and burst straight through the last door in sight in a flurry of blades, poison and wood glistening with blood.
The two ANBU were sliced to ribbons before they could do more than wave their katana threateningly. And when Sasoriza turned her head with inhuman grace to face the last person standing in the dark, smoke-laden room his chances were no higher than theirs had been.
"I am so pissed with you people," Sasoriza sighed, watching the man's crimson eyes widen.
Fun to watch for a moment, but when Sasoriza's teal eyes trekked to Kabumi's still form on the floor, she decided it would be more fun to see what other parts of him were red.
And lashed out with her scorpion's poison-tipped tail to skewer Yuuhi Kureno flat to the wall with blade through his gut.

There was hardly time to react, (move) it all happened so fast and Kureno's mind was still too phazed from bringing himself out of the genjutsu to (Move) think of what he was supposed to do next. (Move!) He watched the guards who had the misfortune of being the closest targets become annihilated in a speed that mocked their position.
The enemy's words drew in his attention, and it was then that Kureno (Move!) began noticing the other details.
A puppet-jutsu user… (MOVE!)
He watched their eyes focus on the prisoner.
They're here for Kabumi...?
Something moved.
(MOVE!!!)
And so did he. But not in time.
At first, it felt like his stomach and the bottom half of his left lung were trying to run away, and they gained such a tremendous individual strength all their own that they were literally pulling him back with them. (He was going to throw up.) He only barely registered the spear-like weapon that disappeared into his left abdomen before he hit the wall and the back of his head cracked against the concrete, leaving him to stare dazed at the ceiling, momentarily suspended. (He couldn't feel his feet.) Then it ripped itself out and he yelled with more blood than scream. (Gods it HURT.) He buckled and slumped to the ground, landing sitting up-right and leaving a blood trail on the wall. (Something under his skin felt like it was burning.)
He tried to speak once and only managed to cough up more fluid. Focus fading, he watched as Kabumi's body was taken away then his neck muscles gave out and his head dropped, leaving him to stare at the gaping, oozing wound (hole) made just below his chest.
His first thought was a miffed, Wow, that's a lot of blood.
He didn't really have a second.
