Kankuro looked down at the almost limp form of Cassie, normally, he wouldn't have helped her, but because she knew something about his village, he hopped down next to her. "Tell me what's going on in the village and I might just save you." He said, a thin smile growing on his face. Meanwhile, he was still controlling Karasu, and made the marionette shoot foreward, straight for Sakura, the poison knives extended.
Shikamaru jumped to the side and made a noise of annoyance. He wish he knew more jutsus but he didnt so couldnt do much. He left it up to Sakura and Sasuke to fight them. He knew Sasuke could take them but was still a little hesitant about Sakura. He walked over to Cassie and stood in front of her. "Hey you, you alright?" he said glancing back at Gaara and Kankuro tiredly.
Cassie: "no" i say as blood flows from my mouth and where all of the shuriken blades and kunai knives had hit me bled bad. the largest kunai knife was stuck in my chest peircing my heart. also i slump to the ground and the large knife that was jabbed into my stomach was sticking out of my back to. my eyes go blurry and i pass out.:
