Rabbit Princess [Gaara] [1]

"Now that I'm here, everything's going to be just fine!" Naruto shouted. "The main character of a story usually appears like this and defeats the enemy in a flash," Tsukiko stared at him with incredulity. Instead of taking the enemy by surprise, Naruto just appeared...

Tsukiko stood up and tried to look for a way out of the ice mirror dome, but there was no way for them to get out of there without destroying it. She could feel her injuries begin to heal up but Usajii was silent. What is he doing now? Does he want her to die? He promised he'll help her out!

What could she do? Water Style would not work against the Ice Style, and the water on the bridge is being controlled by Zabuza. Earth Style would be possible... But could see break through the water on the ground? Tsukiko went through her hand seals, making earth sprout out from beneath and hit the ice but it did nothing.

"How... How is that possible?" Tsukiko muttered. There was no way that the ice could be this strong, could it? Or was her Earth Style too weak for it? Tsukiko stared at the mirror, seeing her dishevelled face staring back at her. Taijutsu...?

Tsukiko moved back a bit and focused more of her Chakra into her legs, trying to aim for the mirror to break it. Once she was satisfied with it, Tsukiko swung her leg, slamming it into the mirror. The force caused her to stumble back a bit but there was now a crack in the mirror.

"Usa!" Tsukiko said, now a little hopeful. She stepped in front of the mirror again and aimed once more, causing another crack. She was about go for another one but she was slammed back onto the ground, smacking against Sasuke.

Haku had returned back into the mirror. Tsukiko groaned as she tried to sit up, rubbing the back of her head where she had hit the ground. Sasuke got up, trying to attack the mirror that Haku was in but there was no telling where the original was anymore. Haku was in every one of the mirrors.

"We've got to use our brains," Tsukiko grunted as she stood up too. She lowered her voice so Haku wouldn't hear her, "If you distract Haku, I destroy the mirrors from the inside and Naruto from the outside, we'll be able to defeat him," Sasuke realised that she made sense and nodded.

"Yo!" Naruto's voice said. "I came to save you! That plan makes sense!" Tsukiko and Sasuke turned around and saw that Naruto had entered the dome behind them, surprising them. "You okay, Sasuke?" Tsukiko stared at him.

"Y-You idiot!" Sasuke shouted, angrily. "If you're a Shinobi, you'll move more cautiously!" But Naruto could not understand why Sasuke was so angry.

"What's with you?!" Naruto argued back. "I came to rescue you and Tsukiko-Chan, you know!" Tsukiko groaned in frustration as she pulled her twin tails.

"You said you liked the plan!" Tsukiko told him. "Once you enter the ice mirror dome, you cannot get out of it! We'll have to attack from inside... Our plan is ruined..." Naruto stared at her in wonder.

"Since it's come to this, all that is left is to smash the mirrors from inside," Sasuke said as he got turned around and went through an assortment of hand seals before landing onto the Tiger hand seal. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"

"It's not working at all!" Naruto exclaimed. Tsukiko and Sasuke were too busy being shocked over the lack of Jutsus working against the mirrors. Would they have to fight Taijutsu Style? She could do that, if these two cover her.

"They won't melt with that level of firepower," Haku replied. The mirrors lit up with a blinding light and sent Tsukiko, Naruto and Sasuke falling over, making them land heavily onto their backs.

"Darn it! Where did he attack from?!" Naruto shouted. "Is it the clones?" He stood up, looking around at all the mirrors with Haku in it. "Where's the real body?!"
