Mizuumi stood on her balcony over looking her home, Konoha. She sighed. About a day ago, a close friend and teamate had ran from the village, Sasuke Uchiha. She understood Sasuke's need to get revenge, after all, her entire family was killed too. She always had treated Sasuke like a brother, hoping that it would give him the feeling of having a family, even if it really wasn't his family. She thought of Nakita, another close friend and who Mizuumi called, a sister, they didn't look anything alike though. Nakita had been even closer to Sasuke then Mizuumi was. For instance, when Nakita spent her first few weeks in Konoha, she stayed with the Uchiha's before she moved in with Mizuumi. Nakita was worried about Sasuke. Mizuumi ran her fingers through her black hair and sighed. Also, Mizuumi's brother had left to go after Sasuke. Naruto, always understood Sasuke's pain also. Naruto had been through so much with Sasuke. It was obvious that he was going to stop at nothing to get Sasuke back. The one thing that lingered in Mizuumi's mind the most is that Kiba, her best friend, and crsuh, had gone too. Mizuumi knew for a fact that there were some of Orochimaru's subordinites with Sasuke. If they were from Orochimaru, they probably had curse marks. Which meant they might get hurt.
Mizuumi focused her blue eyes on the forests outside Konoha's walls. She wished she could go, but Tsunade said not until she gave the signal, the word to say that she should pursue. Mizuumi closed her eyes and tried to imagine that everyone was safe, and that they already had Sasuke and was coming home safely. She took a deep breath.
"I should trust them more. They're stronger then they were a year ago." Mizuumi sadi to herself, "I'm only worried because there's nothing else to do. I'll go see if there's anything I can do around Konoha"
She smiled at her own words, for they cheered her up. She walked downstairs and took a peek in her kitchen. Nakita was sitting at the table, looking a slight bit depressed. The corners of Mizuumi's mouth immediatly went down. She quietly walked behind Nakita and put a hand on Kita's shoulder. Kita's eyes widened and she looked behind her. Mizuumi gave a slight smile. Mizuumi noticed Kita had tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Kita, don't worry. We can count on them to bring Sasuke back. Remember, our resident genius, Shikamaru is leading them and with Naruto's determination, they could go on for weeks and never give up. So stop crying and start smiling. We need to believe in them." Mizuumi said seriously. Nakita smiled a bit and wiped her tears away with the back of her hands.
"Thanks Mizu-chan, I needed to hear that. If you need me i'll be helping out at Ichiraku Ramen" Nakita bowed and smiled. She walked out of the kitchen and out the door. Mizuumi smiled again. She walked into her bedroom and opened her drawer. She grabbed her kunai holder and strapped it to her thigh. She walked out of her house, locking the door behind her.
"Where to go first?" she asked herself.
"AAAAAAHH!!!!!!!" a famliar scream was heard in the distance. Mizuumi looked towards the direction of the scream. She started to run towards it.
