That One Kunai
By Pablo
Chapter 1: All Her Fault
Shikamaru lay on the ground, a kunai sticking out of his chest. He was coughing blood up everywhere. His team and Kakashi's team are on a mission to get a traveler back to the Sound Village. They were greeted by two unfriendly road ninja about three miles out of Konoha.
"Shikamaru," Ino cried, tears flooding out of her cloudy blue eyes. She never realized how much she like the dark-haired shinobi until she saw him lying there. She had never seen Shikamaru look so helpless.
"I-Ino," Shikamaru managed to cough, "I-I…"
"Save your energy," Ino cried. In the next moment, Shikamaru became unconscious.
"Get up and protect the traveler," Asuma yelled back to his student, "He is the main focus right now."
"Sakura," Kakashi said, turning back to the pink-haired kunoichi, "try to heal some of Shikamaru's wounds."
Sakura and Ino seemed to switch places.
I don't think that I can fight, Ino thought, especially since it's entirely my fault. If… A kunai came speeding toward Ino, and she froze. Sauske saved her; he caught the kunai just in time.
"Ino," Asuma scolded, "pay attention, and stop worrying about Shikamaru."
Ino nodded to show that she heard him.
After another five minutes of fighting, Kakashi and Asuma had eliminated the road ninja, and came rushing back to check on Shikamaru.
"How is he doing," Asuma asked Sakura,
"I was able to heal some of his wounds, Sakura replied, "but most of them are beyond my level of skill. I should get him back to Tsunade right away."
"I'll come too," Ino said.
"No," Asuma explained, "We are already losing two ninja, we don't need to lose anymore. You will stay with us. I'm sure this is nothing that Tsunade can't handle.
Without another word, Sakura slung the injured shinobi over her should, and began to walk. This was going to be a long three miles for her.
Pablo: I hoped that you liked my first chapter. Sorry that it was short. You'll find out what happened to Shikamaru in the next chapter if enough people review!
