City

The darkness, the storm, and now the heaviness of the atmosphere added to the intensity of feeling as though they were being watched! As the lightning streaked across the sky, lighting the place up, she could swear she saw shadows! No, couldn't be, she was just being paranoid. Or was she? Suddenly Kaito spoke up. Oh shit! What does he mean?

"Wh-what?' was all Sephora could get out before they stopped in the middle of nowhere, and he said her real name. She immediately started to back up activating her Byakugan and shooting her wolverine-like bone claws out of her knuckles! She couldn't fight; she was way too weak. Obviously knew her real identity and now she was surrounded! Sighing she held her hands up revealing the claws but also acknowledging she knew she was indeed caught. No way could she fight off this many people.
We may as well go out with a bang! Was I giving up completely? No, but, considering she was outnumbered, may as well see where this would lead.

"Glad to know we have made such an impression! Are you a fan? You want an autograph." She smirked as she replied. " I am Sephora Kaguya -Hyuuga second in command of Team Fuku. And you may have me, but the rest are still out there. And you may have forgotten, there's another one just like me, I am a twin, after all. So what good is one member out of 10 to you? Granted, at the moment, we may be considered missing that doesn't mean we are all villains now does it?" She asked. Suddenly realizing she was brandishing her weapons, she knelt down and stuck her claws in the ground breaking them off.

"Unarmed and not dangerous…at the moment anyways," she said as she stood up, muttering the last part to herself as she held her hands back up. Well, she was a criminal; she knew this herself. She had been kidnapped and killed in her history and and had injured people as well. Not like they knew that much, or did they? He did, after all, know who she was. She also had her sword on her back and her kunai on her hips but not like she could get to them.

(WC: 376)

*I mentioned having Kunai and a sword, I have to register them, so I won't use them, but I simply mentioned them for appearance.*

The shadows seemed to dance and twist around Sephora as Kaito's words echoed in the stormy night. Fear and uncertainty tugged at her, but seemingly she refused to let the dire situation overwhelm her. Kaito stood across from her 2 meters away, a smug grin on his face, as he watched her activate her Byakugan and reveal her bone claws. He seemed to delight in her vulnerability, savoring the moment of having her at his mercy.

"Ah, Sephora Kaguya-Hyuuga, the infamous missing ninja," he taunted. "Such a pleasure to finally have you in my grasp. As for the rest of your team, don't worry; we have ways of finding them. You see, we have eyes and ears everywhere."

What was left unsaid was better understood sometimes, be that the young kunoichi trying to process the implications of Kaito's words. How could they have known about her and her team? Who were they, and what did they want with them? You can't expect to get away with this! My team and I have faced much worse than you!

Kaito's laughter filled the air, echoing eerily in the darkness. "Oh, my dear Sephora, you have no idea who you're dealing with," he said cryptically. "Let's just say there are those who would pay a hefty price for the capture of a powerful missing ninja like yourself and your brother. We're just the intermediaries, but rest assured, our employers will be very pleased."

[WC: 235]

Instead of fearing Kaito and backing down, Sephora kept on a brave face! Someone once told her never to show fear. Actually two people, her father and Prim. Fear is weakness, and the last thing this asshole was going to see in her was weakness!
"I feel sorry for you, because believe me when I say, this won't turn out well…for you. I have been through worse than this, missing ninja life isn't easy! Why do you think I hold such a high rank? Do you honestly think you can scare me?"  She said, showing a quite twisted smile almost identical to her father's. The lightning lit up the sky as the thunder rolled making this scene even scarier than before.
"This is child's play compared to some of the things I have seen and done!" Sephora was right, after all she has killed in her past. " I am nothing more than the tip of the iceberg, you should know that if your group here has eyes and ears everywhere!" She said, mocking him at the end of the sentence. Her twisted smile still remained on her face. "Please, keep on amusing me with your antics..I fear no one, I don't care if you're a member of my clan or even Kage level, you can't scare me! I would believe the proper term for you is grunt, not intermediary. Doing what you're told by someone else. Just because they pay well doesn't make you higher on the food chain!" Maybe, just maybe, she went overboard a little, but those who know Sephora, know how she is. She isn't quite a fan of her clan, authority or people getting in her way! The more irritated she gets, the mouthier she becomes! In this case that's all she can use in her weakened state.

As Sephora defiantly faced Kaito and his group of captors, her words cut through the tension like a razor-sharp wind. The storm raged around them, the lightning and thunder mirroring the intensity of their confrontation. Her twisted smile and bold demeanor seemed to unnerve Kaito and his cohorts as they exchanged glances, clearly taken aback by her fearless response.

Kaito's composed facade wavered momentarily, but he quickly regained his composure. "You talk big for someone in your position," he retorted, his voice attempting to mask his uncertainty. "But you're just one person against many. And your bravado won't save you from the fate that awaits you."

The masked figures shifted uncomfortably as she kept going, exchanging uneasy glances as Sephora's words seemed to ring true. The young ninja's resolve and defiance seemed to unsettle them, challenging their expectations of an easy capture.

Kaito's eyes narrowed, a mix of irritation and curiosity flickering. "You're quite the mouthy one, aren't you?" he remarked, his voice tinged with annoyance. "But words can only get you so far. Let's see if you can back them up."

Before Sephora could react, Kaito made a swift hand gesture, and the other masked figures moved in to restrain her. Sephora might struggle, her spirit undaunted, but the sheer numbers would probably overwhelm her in her weakened state, attempting to disarm her of her kunai and sword, leaving her defenseless.

[WC: 230]

Sephy was suddenly being held down and the masked men were taking her stuff off of her! Fearing for her life she suddenly used a technique she hadn't used but twice her whole life, the actual Bone Claws her Kaguya descendants used. The claws that pop out all over your body!
"Stop! Let me go!" Sephy screamed as she made the hand sign and large sharp pointy claws emerged from her body!
"What the deuce were you doing to me?" She asked as she looked around her. It was probably a shock to see such a sight! She probably looked hideous, but she had no choice! Her Hyuga techniques would completely drain her. Now she was beginning to feel kind of dizzy but she refused to show it.
"If you are going to touch me like that, at least take me to dinner first! And second, I am not into groups ok? One partner only!" Sephy said, looking at everyone. "Give me my stuff back before I stab each of you and use your bones for my new weapons!" She hissed looking around at the group! Suddenly, just as quick as they appeared, her bones suddenly retracted!
"Oh fuck!" She said as she realized she was screwed. She no longer had the upper hand. Sephy knew Kaito had won.

(WC: 213)

The masked men recoiled in shock and horror at the sudden emergence of Sephora's Bone Claws. The sight was unexpected and disturbing, and Sephora's desperate attempt to assert control only added to the tension in the air. The storm raged on, the rain pouring down as if mirroring the turmoil of the situation.

Kaito's expression hardened, his surprise quickly replaced with a cold determination. "Defiant despite your predicament. You truly are more dangerous than we thought." he sneered, his voice laced with fear and anger. "But don't think for a second that this changes anything. You're still at our mercy. Surrender, and maybe we'll go easy on you."

As Sephora's Bone Claws suddenly retracted, leaving her defenseless, the masked men took the opportunity to overpower her. They restrained her tightly, effectively neutralizing her ability to fight back.

"Now, no need for any more theatrics," Kaito said, his voice dangerously calm. "You've shown us what you're capable of. We have no intention of killing you—at least not yet. You're too valuable alive." The man's smirk widened. "You are probably wondering what we want from you. But worry not; you'll find out soon enough," he stated cryptically. "For now, consider this a little taste of what's to come."

With that, the masked men made to lead Sephora away, who had her heart heavy with worry for herself and her missing teammates. The storm continued to rage on, and Sephora was swept away in a torrent of uncertainty. Despite the darkness surrounding her, the young kunoichi could cling to the flicker of hope within. That her teammates were out there looking for her. Hope dies last. Even in the face of adversity, her resolve seemingly remained unbroken, and she was determined to fight her way back to her comrades and uncover the truth behind this mysterious group that had captured her.

Sephora gave up knowing she had been caught! The thunder and lightning lit up the scene as the masked captors tied her up. She felt like this wasn't real. Yet it was. Kaitos laugh made her so nauseous! Whatever they tied her up with, was unbreakable and had a weird glow to it. Probably so she couldn't use her jutsus.
"Laugh all you want asshole! But in the end, I'll be the one laughing! She smarted off. How dare he call her attempts to get out of the situation 'Theatrics'! No…ok well she didn't really understand her bone claws very well. Her Kaguya ancestors had some weird name for it that began with the word dance…and it takes a lot of chakra to do it, that's why she wasn't able to hold it for very long. Maybe it did look like a show! All she could do was hope someone saved her. Was her team looking for her like she was for them? She knew she had to pull through this she had to find them. Hopefully someone was looking for her and soon she would be safe. Sephora knew she had been through many things, she had been beaten and broken and had beaten and broken others. She was going to pull through this, one way or another!
She was wet and cold and now her clothes were full of holes! At least nothing personal was showing! She really needs to rethink her attire if she intends to use those in the future.
"Put me down!!! Where are you taking me!!! Get your hands off me!!!" Whoever expected the villainess to end up getting kidnapped herself? Probably no one! Did she have this coming? Yeah you could say that! So what happens next? Wait and see!
