[Gala day 3] In which shit happens. [Sachiko, Sakurai, Tobi, etc]
Ibiki and Asuka were not to be easily found, Sachiko quickly realized as she and Sakurai scoured the panicked mass. Not good, she reflected. Maybe she ought to have told at least one of the kage bunshin to find Asuka and/or Ibiki before scattering them, but too late now. Especially because the crush of people had pushed herself and Sakurai out of the main hall.
Sachiko just wanted to find a space that was more clear to better let her look around and get an idea of what was going on. And she wouldn't get anything from the kage bunshin unless they were disspelled or they found her again. She felt like she was running around blind, and the smoke from the explosions wasn't helping matters. In the meantime, they did what they can to help the guards corral the civilians
Some time later when the crush of people lessened, she turned to Sakurai. "Maybe we should fi--" Her words cut off abruptly, eyes unfocusing as she suddenly received one of the bunshin's experiences. She saw the oranged-masked Akatsuki, and the woman's intent before the physical blow destroyed the bunshin.
Sachiko's face paled even as she quietly indulged in some heart-felt swearing. "Akatsuki," she muttered. Then: "Not my sister. But looking for me."
And people wondered why she never let up on how much her life sucked.
