Instict

100 Words From Border Line to Border Line

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nara Shikamaru had infamous abilities of intuition and instinct. It was almost like a sixth sense, what he could predict.

He couldn't predict the ambush of the Sound. The swift surrounding of Ino and he. The slash that tore her away from him. The helplessness. And her death.

It was pitiful.

But there she was dying like a drowned flower in the rain that was whipping around them.

Where had his instinct, his intellect gone? With her, to Death.

At that moment, all he had was the instinct of despair, the instinct that Ino, his beloved, was going to die.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What a curse a high ability of instinct can be when it only comes handy when you know death is near.

More to come. ;P
