101st Sandstorm [Audio]

[fifth_kazekage]

[A flurry of sand gathers at the location of the kidnapping, only to find dust drifting up into the wind. The device picks up a low noise of distress, swiftly followed by a distinct growl.

Too late.

In a tense tone, Gaara commands curtly.] Take me to him. Now.

[The large ink tiger Sai had left with Gaara that morning turned it's head up to the individual it had been ordered to stay with and keep .

The creation was not a real animal but neither was it a creature devoid of independent thinking. Its master had given it an order, along with free reign to complete that order.

It might not have felt anything to what happened to its creator, but it understood Gaara's order.]

[In Person]

[fifth_kazekage]

[He had to calm down and think rationally. Reacting spontaneously wasn’t going to make the situation any better.]

……

[After a long exhale, Gaara closed his eyes and silently probed his sand, which stayed with Sai. Due to the range and constant movement of the perpetrators, it was difficult to pinpoint the exact location. He had every intention of tracking it down, but the process would take some time.

Shit.

Tightly pursing his lips together, he glanced down at the ink tiger, wondering if it would be able to find Sai any faster.]

Do you know his current location?

[In Person]

[At that question, the tiger turned its head to the east. With a large amount of chakra residing inside of it, the very source of his existence, the tiger could sense its creator, but it was usually his Master who contacted it, and now his Master was not responding to his silent probing, unconscious as he was, yet the tiger could still sense his general presence.

He took a few steps in the direction he had turned, before stopping and looking back at Gaara, making sure he was following.]

[Gaara nodded, just once, in agreement. That was the same direction he felt, from the indication of his sand. Just how far had the perpetrators traveled already, in such a short amount of time…?

Mentally, the redhead berated himself as anger rumbled within. If they had not separated in their search for Sakura…

He hurriedly urged the tiger in a worried tone.] Go. Run.

[He could keep up with the speed, and every minute counted, as he sensed the growing distance between them…

Protect him, Gaara silently ordered his sand.]

[theloneheir]

[Observing, because that's all he can do right now.]

[fifth_kazekage]

[Hey there, creepy stalker. 8D Gaara is a little riled up at the moment...]

[theloneheir]

[He's not going to take advantage of it. He's got nothing to do with this situation, but it doesn't keep him from observing, either.

[fifth_kazekage]

[Smart idea.

A couple of hours later, Gaara checks his device to see if any new information has turned up about the traders. He is surprised to realize the Uchiha’s watchful gaze.]

…Sasuke.

[yuliafonichymns]

Gaara...

[ There's a hint of concern on that hardened expressionless face. ]

[fifth_kazekage]

[Sounding rushed and frustrated, he responds in a stern tone.] Tear.

[yuliafonichymns]

Something has happened hasn't it? You look distressed.

[ The maiden replied in a collected tone. She's been aware of what was currently happening to some of the residents that were in Facility with her. ]

Do you require any assistance?

[fifth_kazekage]

[On a dormant level, Gaara certainly respected Tear for being able to remain so calm at a time like this. His own façade would only carry him so far before he… began to show a much rarer side.]

Someone important to me was… kidnapped.

If you obtain any information on the cowardly villains… please inform me immediately.

[wind_wielder]

Gaara, what are you doing?

[fifth_kazekage]

Sai has been taken.

[wind_wielder]

What are the orders.

[Already picking up her fan to go help with the retrieval mission.]

[fifth_kazekage]

We currently have no information on the enemy party. I am tracking his location, but it will take time to accurately pinpoint. They departed toward the east.

Proceed with caution, Temari.

[Watching you because he is not stupid enough to disturb you now. But he'll need the information of the location in case something came up.]

[fifth_kazekage]

[Go ahead and watch, dude. Just don't be a distraction because Gaara is focused on only one thing right now.]

PRIVATE VIDEO/TEXT You did NOT see the fail HTML

[bitchatroll]

[He is taking note of the surrounding, especially landmarks of more prominent buildings or features. He has been aware of people being abducted and is gathering as much informations he can because it's definitely needed in case there will be a need for it later.]

Beware of snipers, Gaa-chan.

[fifth_kazekage]

[Izaya is a smart man. Gaara could really use crucial information right now. Nobody knows anything about the traders, aside from the fact that they like to kidnap people. For some apparent reason.]

…?

[Recognizing the speaker, he hurriedly asks.] Izaya, do you have any information on these callous fiends?
