Ayumi was still trying to catch her breath, looked up in time to see the open maw of the water dragon. No time to get away, she blocked her face with her arms and was swallowed up into the expanse of water. Now, being raised by wolves of course had its advantages, but a great disadvantage would be the fact that canine's cannot hold their breath, or at least not for long. Forcing down the initial panic of being submerged and without air, Ayumi concentrated on trying to break free with what little of her chakra she had left. She couldn't do another soundwave, without enough air nor chakra it'd simply be a waste of energy to even try. Lungs burning, she went on instinct and preyed she wouldn't drown; she opened her mouth and gulped down some of the water, knowing it was filled with chakra in order to be moving at all. Technically she wasn't disobeying Shino, it's not like she stole it from Ame himself. She couldn't take alot, she'd definitely rick drowning then, but just enough to be converted into energy. She forced her limbs to move and tried to swim up, hoping to surface the water that made up the dragon. Her gaze briefly flicked to the distorted image of the area where Ame was, surely he couldn't keep this up for much longer? Well, neither could she, so instead she gathered what remained of her chakra and spun in the water. Building up speed was difficult in the water, but she finally was able to create what looked similar to Fang over Fang, just by herself. Using the spinning she created a whirlpool in the water, hoping it's cause Ame's control over his jutsu to break.
(gosh, I had like fifty ideas of what I could do all at once, but I think I picked the best one. Another one was for her to tunnel just before she'd gotten hit, but I think she'd be much too tired for that really))
Ryuki shivered at the thought of the woods, thinking Alex's attacker may still be there. "LEt's go see if the training grounds arn't taken."
