Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
Claimer: I do own Tori
"Does it ever stop hurting, Kakashi?" Sakura asked.
"You've asked me that same question every morning for the past three years, Sakura." The white haired ninja answered. "And I've always given you the same answer."
"It hasn't stopped yet." Sakura said, nodding. Its what he told her every morning. Every morning that she, Shikamaru, and Neji had a mission, they joined him at the memorial stone. Its why he had always been late. He spent most of his free time sitting there, talking to his long lost friends.
It was the day they were leaving for their next mission. The one that was already putting team mates in danger. It was a known fact that Cloud was still out for a live member of the Hyuuga clan. And she was taking three of the clans best with her into Cloud territory.
It was also a known fact that she, Shikamaru, Neji, and Tori were all in the bingo books for several countries, if not all, excluding sand. Let alone Sasuke. Who wasin all of the bingo books.
Sakura was wearing her Jounin suit. Long sleeve mesh shirt, covered by a black tube top who's sleeves hung off her shoulders, short back skirt, black gloves, and her black Jounin vest. Her tall back boots still graced her feet, more mesh creeping out of them.
She felt Shikamaru and Neji approaching. Turning around, she saw them coming up the path behind them.
"Always early for the stone. Always late for the missions. You really have picked up your old sensei's trait." Shikamaru stated as he came to a stop beside Sakura. He placed his hand on her shoulder and she leaned back into him.
Sakura shrugged. "Someone had to. Naruto is always too excited and ends up getting there early anyway. Sasuke was never around to pick it up." She felt Kakashi's eyes on her at the Uchiha's name.
"So he really is back." He said, his one dark eye looking his favorite student over. The Uchiha boy had left her here. He himself had left her behind, to focus on Naruto. Naruto had left her behind to focus on training. But she didn't see to hold it against them. However, the Uchiha seemed to be a different story.
"Hai. He returned a week ago. Tsunade has assigned him to this mission with us." Sakura turned around to face her old teacher. "It didn't sink in, Kakashi. All that teamwork training. He still doesn't get it." she said, shaking her head.
Kakashi sighed, getting ready to speak before Neji interrupted.
"He trained with me every day, like you told him to. He's really fast, Sakura. His speed has surpassed Kakashi's. And that full body Chidori. Amazing." he said. His hands were in his pockets as he spoke. He was watching Sakura.
"Interesting. How are his chakra reserves?" Sakura asked. She had pulled a hand up to her mouth, the nail on her thumb between her teeth. Undoubtedly a trait she had picked up from the Hokage.
"Good. Deep. He has a lot of chakra, Sakura. However, not anywhere close to Naruto, but then again, who does? And he doesn't have your chakra control, but he doesn't waste as much as Naruto does. " This got a nod from the pink haired kuniochi.
"Good." Then she sighed. "We should probably get going. Shika?" She questioned, turning to the Nara boy.
Shikamaru almost rolled his eyes as he turned to Sakura. The girl was lazier then he was! "Yeah, sure. I don't mind." he answered, gaining a smile from Sakura. He was to give out formation instructions before they left.
"Rather large group you got going with you, Sakura. I wasn't there for the debriefing, as it wasn't my mission. But. Do you need that many people?" Kakashi asked, turning to walk back up the path towards Konoha. Sakura, Shikamaru, and Neji quickly followed suit.
"Hai. Fouty-eight children, Kakashi. It gets larger every day. We should have left as soon as the mission was given to us, but Tsunade wanted to give Sasuke time to settle into his new group. However, Neji is the only one that's seen him since that day. " Sakura answered.
Kakashi nodded. "Understandable. The group, that is. And, well I suppose Sasuke is as well. He has only been with a smaller group of people since he left Orochimaru." They were headed to the Konoha gates as they spoke.
"What happened to them anyway?" Shikamaru asked, his eyes never left the road in front of him, as he spoke to the copy ninja.
Kakashi shrugged. "We have no idea, actually. He came back alone. Said that he would take whatever punishment was given for his betrayal. For some reason, the elders okayed it, being that he took out both Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi." he said.
Sakura looked up at the sky, remembering that day. It had been the last day she had seen the young Uchiha until he had decided to return to Konoha. It was the day she stopped loving him.
Flashback
Their team quickly reached their destination. The ground was nothing but broken rock, an apparent battle had gone on. A dark figure laid on the ground, unmoving. Sakura raced forward, only to be met with three others. A red haired girl, a blue haired man, and an orange haired man, who looked rather sad.
"Where do you think you're going, bitch?" The red haired girl questioned, hands on her hips.
"They are left ninja, possibly comrades of Sasuke-sama." The orange haired man said.
Sakura looked around the group, seeing that the figure on the ground was Sasuke. "Let me go to him." She demanded. He was bleeding, and if she didn't get to him quickly, he would die.
"No way in hell, bitch." the red haired girl said. "Sasuke-kun is mine."
Sakura's eyes narrowed. "I don't care what he is, you dumbass. He's dying and I'm the only medic here, and his only chance of surviving, so why don't you get the fuck out of the way?" She said. She was pissed. Her old team mate was laying there, on the ground, dying. And this bitch wouldn't move!
The red haired girl scoffed, getting ready to say something else before the blue haired man jumped in.
"Shut it, Karin. She has a point." he said, lugging the giant sword that was in his hand over his back.
Sakura moved past Karin and up to the fallen Uchiha. He was alive, breathing, but unconscious. She kneeled down over his body, letting green chakra cover her hands as she searched for his condition. His eyes were bleeding a dark liquid and when she ran her hands over them she knew he was blind. She ignored it for the time being, sliding her hands down the rest of his body. He would live. But he needed work.
She quickly started pushing chakra into his body, healing the gashing that were cut into him. When she was done she moved her hands to his eyes. Suddenly his hand shot up and wrapped itself around her neck with a crushing brace.
"Sasuke-kun." Sakura whispered.
He faltered. His fingers twitched. His eyes looked towards her voice. At her. They were glazed over. She had been right. He was blind.
"Sa-ku-ra?" He questioned, his words slow.
Sakura reached up and wrapped her fingers around his hand. "Let go, Sasuke." she said softly.
Sasuke only tightened his grip. "Its dark. Why is it dark? What did you do to me!"
Sakura pulled chakra into her fingers and ripped his hand away from her neck. "I didn't do shit to you, Sasuke-kun. You're blind I'm trying to reverse that."
Sasuke turned away from her. "Fine. Get it done." he stated.
Sakura took a deep breath to keep from screaming at him. Chakra wrapped around her hand as she placed it over Sasuke's eyes. It was over an hour before she was finally done with both eyes, and she was drained of chakra. She looked up at Sasuke with a small smile.
"You can open them now." She said.
He opened his eyes, looking around, before looking at Sakura. "Hn." he said. Then he looked up at Karin, and the two other boys. "Lets go." he said.
"Sasuke-kun." Sakura whispered.
Sasuke turned to her. "I'm not going back to Konoha, Sakura. Now that you healed my eyes, I can continue my search for the other person who killed my family."
Sakura's hand came back, only to shoot forward again and strike across Sasuke's face. "You bastard." She growled. "I wasted my chakra on you and you cant even say thank you."
A smirk slipped onto Sasuke's features. "Why would I thank you, Sakura?"
Another slap. "Go to hell, Sasuke."
End Flashback
They were getting closer to the gates. Sakura could already see all five figures. They were on time, as usual. She, Shikamaru, and Neji however, were not.
"Naruto hasn't forgive him." Neji stated. This got him a sharp look from Sakura.
"What do you mean, Neji?" She asked, stopping in the street. The others stopped with her.
"Don't tell me you didn't notice that he ignored Sasuke the entire time they were at our compound the other day." Neji said, his white eyes staring down at Sakura.
Sakura shook her head. "No, I really didn't. I was too busy ignoring him myself." She said. Then she sighed. "Let's just get this mission over with. So we can get him the hell off my team." She turned away from them and approached the rest of her team mates.
Both Shikamaru and Neji smiled at this. She had obviously let her feelings for the Uchiha boy go. It was good. She wouldn't get distracted.
Sakura took a deep breathe as she got up to the rest of her team. Kiba and Tori were at it again.
"Come on, Tori-chan." Kiba was begging.
"No…Kiba." Tori answered. Her hands were across her chest, her head turned away from the dog boy.
"One date, Tori-chan!" He had gotten on his knees, his hands clasped together. " I swear I'll make it worth your wile…" he said.
Tori rolled her eyes. "I said no, Kiba. Besides, what the hell is your idea of a date anyway?" She asked.
"You. Me. A dance club. Dinner. Movie at your place, or mine. I'm not picky." He was still on his knees, looking up at the female Jounin that was standing not a foot from him.
Tori looked down at him. Her eyes were narrowed. She was thinking it over. A hopeful smile appeared on Kiba's face.
Then she signed. "Fine. After the mission." she said, looking away with a small blush on her face.
Kiba shot up, his fist pumping the air. "Woot!" He hollered. Akamaru barked in excitement. Sakura finally reached her group, taking in the members. Tori and Hinata were wearing the same outfits as a few days ago. Kiba, Shino and Sasuke wore nearly the same things as always. She reached behind her, pulling her pack around to the front of her body so she could reach it. She unzipped it and reached inside, pulling out an ANBU suit that was very similar to her's if not exactly the same, then she tossed it to Hinata. Hinata caught it, twisted her own pack around and stuffed it inside, before catching the fox ANBU mask that Sakura threw at her next, stuffing it in her pack as well.
Kakashi had shoved his hands in his pocket. "Possible S-rank?" He questioned.
Sakura nodded. "Hai. Speaking of which. We received new information two days ago." She said.
Everyone stopped moving at looked at their captain, except for Shikamaru. He knew about the information. Kiba and Tori stopped arguing, Hinata stopped fidgeting with her backpack. Shino and Neji stopped the conversation they had gotten into, and Sasuke had stopped ignoring everyone.
"The information we have states that the children are being brainwashed. Its how it was stated. However, there is a medical justsu that can alter memories, add, cover up. Bury them and place new ones on top of them. Its very complex." This had Tori's eyes wide with excitement. Sakura smiled at her student. "They are having their memories altered then being sold as bodyguards. Our source states that the children seem to have ninja-like abilities. Stealth, speed, amazing agility. We were like this when we were twelve. They are all under the age of eight." This made Hinata's eyes widen.
"What is the plan, Sakura-san?" Kiba questioned, leaning against Akamaru's back.
"The children are being sold to wealthy families. Families who have the money and don't care where they come from, as long as they do their job. Two of us, will pose as a couple looking for a good bodyguard or two that can blend in. In example, a child. They pose as the family's actual children while protecting them at the same time. We will acquire one, if not two. Tori and I will examine them and see how to fix the problem. Hopefully, one, if not both, will remember where the person who is doing this is, what their name is, or who they are. And we will infiltrate, kill all involved, and find the documents of where all the children have been sent. We will then proceed from there." She was done. Finally. She sighed and leaned back on her heels. Shikamaru stepped forward.
"Alright. We're traveling as one group until we hit the cloud border." He said. Then he turned to Neji. "Neji will be leading, Shino will be behind him. Then it will be Sakura, me, Sasuke, Tori, Kiba, and Hinata." He turned to look at every person as he called their names, receiving a nod from everyone but the Uchiha. "Neji and Hinata will be our Byakugan users. Shino will send his bugs ahead to scout, Kiba and Akamaru will be keeping a nose out around us. Tori and Sakura are the respective medics. We protect them." Again, a nod from everyone except for the Uchiha. "When we reach cloud we will split up into our four man teams. We enter the village at different points, but take up resident in the same inn. We'll work out room and board when we get there, depending on their availability. " He turned to look at Sakura, who nodded.
Kiba reached out and grabbed Tori by the waste, pulling her to him. "I want to room with Tori-chan." he said, looking down at the girl.
"Ugh. Let go, dog boy." Tori said, pushing away from him.
Kakashi was still standing near Sakura, watching the group. "Sakura." he said, tilting his head, signaling her to follow. Sakura did so, and they moved out of the group's hearing. "You have too many leaders. Shikamaru and Neji are use to leading. Granted I've never been in a group with you, not with you as leader, but I have been in a group with them, me as leader. And they don't take orders very well. Then there's the Uchiha. Who's never taken orders very well." He said.
A smile slipped across Sakura's face. "The Uchiha is the only one I have to worry about. I haven't had problems with Neji and Shika in years, Kakashi. Mostly because they respect me, as a leader. I had to earned it. It wasn't just given to me. But I don't have problems with them because I take their opinions into consideration instead of brushing it off because I was in charge. Shika is co-leader of my group. And when Shika and I need to do undercover work, Neji is in charge." she said, her eyes trailing over to her group.
Kakashi smirked, though Sakura didn't see it. "Is Shikamaru always your first pick for things?" He questioned.
Sakura turned to Kakashi, confused. "Yes, why?" She asked.
Kakashi shook his head. "You guys have gotten close in the past few years." he said, turning to look glance at Shikamaru, who was going over everyone's gear.
"Common loss will do that to you, Kakashi." Sakura countered, not understanding what he was getting at.
"Hai." Then he shrugged. "Maybe I'm just looking too deep. But you guys seem closer than just team mates."
Sakura's eyes narrowed. "We arefriends, Kakashi." she said.
The copy ninja sighed. "Alright. I was just curious." he said, a frown forming on his face though the mask.
A wide smile spread across Sakura's face. "You're worried about me." She said.
Kakashi's eyes widened and he stepped back, his hands in the air. "No no! Don't be absurd, Sakura." He got a poke in the chest by the pink haired medic.
"Why would you be worried about me, Kaka-sensei?" She asked. It had been a long time since she had called him that.
Kakashi stopped his movements and moved closer to Sakura. He reached out and placed a hand on her shoulder. She flinched at the contact, her eyes slightly narrowed. She didn't like to be touched.
"That's why." he said, gaining a confused look from the pink haired girl. "I've been the closest thing you've had to a father since your parents died. You know you're like a daughter to me. But you dislike it when I make contact with you."
Sakura shook her head while shaking off his hand. "Okay, and?" she questioned, her hands on her hips.
"Back at the stone. You welcomed his contact. You enjoy it." Kakashi said, slowly. His eye was searching her face for any type of reaction. And there it was. Her eyes widened just a bit. She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth. One of her arms wrapped around her waist.
"He makes me feel better. By just…being there." Then she held up her hands. "I don't want to talk about this right now, Kakashi. I have to go." she said, turning away from her sensei.
"Just do me a favor, Sakura." Kakashi said, stopping the girl In her tracks. She turned her head slightly, letting him know that she was listening. "Pay attention to it. Pay attention to the way you two are around each other. Evaluate yourself like you would an enemy. " he said.
Sakura turned back to face her group. "Fine." Then she walked off, leaving Kakashi to his own.
Shikamaru watched as Kakashi led Sakura off to talk. He let his eyes trail over to the Uchiha boy, watching his reaction. I have a bad feeling about him. He thought. His eyes stayed on Sasuke as the Uchiha's eyes narrowed at Kakashi. He looked…pissed? Man, what the hell is his issue?
Sakura walked up to Shikamaru, letting her eyes slid over her group. "Are we ready?" She whispered. Shikamaru nodded. "Good. Lets go." She turned towards the gate, Shikamaru following her.
Again he noticed the clear dislike in Sasuke's eyes as Sakura stuck close to Shikamaru. They were almost to the gate.
"Shikamaru!" a small voice screamed.
Shikamaru turned around to be latched onto by a small boy. "Hey there little Asuma." he said, patting the boy's head. The little boy looked up at him, grinning from ear to ear.
"Mommy said that you had another mission to go on." The little boy said.
Shikamaru nodded. "Yup." he said, pulling the kid off his leg.
"How long will you be gone?" Asuma questioned, his face full of hope.
"I actually don't know." Shikamaru looked up at Sakura, who had her hands on her hips.
"Kiddo." She said. The little boy stiffened before turning around slowly to see Sakura standing over him.
"Sakura-chan!" He quickly turned around and latched himself to her.
It was her turn to stiffen, her eyes shooting up to Shikamaru. He smiled before kneeling down and prying the little boys fingers out from around Sakura's leg.
"Now now, little Asuma. You know how Sakura-chan is." he whispered, gaining a glare from said medic. The small kid looked just like his father, minus the cigarette, thank kami.
Sakura knelt down next to Shikamaru before pulling out a kunai from her weapons pouch. "Here kiddo." She said, placing the sharp object on her leg before doing a few hand seals. When the last seal was complete she touched the kunai emitting a quick spark before it looked normal again. She then held it up, letting it dangle on her finger.
"Sakura. I know you are not about to give my son a kunai." a voice said.
Sakura turned around to see Kurenai standing behind her. She smiled up at the woman. "Of course not. I'm about to give him an Asuma-proof kunai." She said. This received a strange look from Kurenai. Sakura picked up the kunai and attempted to shove it into her leg. It bent. Like rubber. "If it makes contact with skin, it'll bend. He can attack trees, the ground, other weapons. But he cant hurt himself with this one. " She waited for Kurenai's nod of approval before she held the weapon out to Asuma.
The little boy reached forward and grabbed the kunai from Sakura. "Thank you so much Sakura-chan!" He started to lunge forward at her, but stopped. "Um…Sakura-chan?" he whispered.
Sakura looked up at the small child. "Hm?"
"Can I hug you?" He said softly, a sad look on his face.
Sakura had to smile. "I suppose." Asuma smiled before leaning forward again, but he was stopped by a hand in his face. "But not too long, deal?"
"Deal!" Asuma squealed, and he quickly wrapped his arms around her neck, giving her a fast hug before backing up.
Sakura laughed at the young boy before standing up. "Shika and I need to go, kiddo." She said, causing a sad expression to form on the four year olds face. "But we'll come see you as soon as we get back, alright?" And his bright smile returned.
"Thank you, Sakura." Kurenai said, reaching down to pick up her son. "He is insane about you two."
Asuma pointed his newly obtained weapon at Sakura. "You will become my sensei!" he stated.
Sakura and Shikamaru laughed. "I cant promise you that kiddo. But I'll see what I can do, okay? But I wont play favorites, no matter how cute you are." Sakura said.
The small boy pouted. "You play favorites with Shikamaru." he whispered.
Sakura faltered. "W-what?" She asked. Tori and Kiba were behind them, laughing.
Sasuke had gained a scowl on his face. He was glaring daggers at the Nara boy.
Sakura crossed her arms over her chest. "I don't play favorites within my teams." she said, turning away from Kurenai and little Asuma. "We need to go." This to Shikamaru, who quickly wiped the grin off his face.
"Right." He turned to the group. "Lets head out." Then he glanced back at Asuma, as did Sakura. "See ya when we get back."
"Bye kiddo." Sakura said.
Kiba and Tori picked up their packs from the ground, throwing them across their backs. Hinata twisted hers back around to her back. Sasuke just turned away from the group and started heading out of the gate. Neji and Shino turned around to follow the Uchiha. Shikamaru threw his arm around Sakura's shoulder.
"You know I'm your favorite, Sakura." he said, as they walked to the gate.
Sakura shrugged his arm off her shoulder. "Shove off, Shika." she said, rolling her eyes.
Shikamaru pulled his hand up to his eyebrow in a mock salute. "Aye aye Captain," He said, before pushing chakra to his feet and launching himself up into the trees, and away from Sakura's fist.
Sakura quickly followed him, as did the others. Then they all shifted into their previously stated positions. First Neji, then Shino, Sakura, Shikamaru, Sasuke, Tori, Kiba, and lastly Hinata. A simultaneous "Byakugan!" was heard from Neji and Hinata. They were headed due north east, straight to cloud. It would take four days. Four long days. They would have to take at least two breaks a day, if not more. Not to mention sleeping at night. Sakura sighed. This was going to be a long mission.
Hours went by with mostly silence, save for Tori and Kiba in the back of the line, taking quietly. They weren't trying to keep anything from their teammates, but Sakura did like it relatively quite so they respected that. She had kept them alive for the past several years.
Sakura looked back behind her, taking in the team mates to the back. Kiba was nonchalantly watching Tori and it wasn't long before she heard,
"I like the way you set up the groups, Shikamaru. I am loving this view." he said, after Tori had been quite for awhile.
Sakura rolled her eyes.
Shikamaru smiled at his leader's reaction to Kiba's statement.
"Cant say mine sucks either, Kiba." he said to the dog boy, before catching the kunai that was aimed for his head. He quickly pocketed it. "Now now, Sakura. Is that anyway to treat your favorite team mate?" He questioned. Another kunai was thrown at him. He caught it before flipping it around his fingers and thrusting it back at Sakura. That's when he noticed the watchful eyes of the Uchiha boy. Sasuke's eyes were narrowed and locked on Sakura, his hands were pulled into fists. But it was the look in his eyes that scared Shikamaru. Look of possessiveness. Shikamaru sped up his pace to catch up with Sakura.
"Hey." he said. Sakura barely turned her gaze to him, but she did so enough that he knew she was listening. "Something is up with Sasuke." It gave him her full attention.
"Nani?" She questioned. She sped up, getting closer to Shino and Neji, father away from Sasuke. Shikamaru followed.
"He's watching you. A lot. It makes me uneasy, Sakura." Shikamaru said.
Sakura rolled her eyes. "You and Kakashi always worrying about me. Its Sasuke. What's he going to do?" But as she said the words her thoughts were different. Right. But what has he done already? Betrayed Konoha, already tried to kill you and Naruto at least once. She sighed.
"Was that why Kakashi wanted to talk to you? Was he getting the same vibe I am?" Shikamaru questioned.
A small blush crept up Sakura's cheeks. "No. He had a different vibe. One that I'm not going to discuss with you." she said. Because its about you.
The blush wasn't hidden from Shikamaru. But he pretended to ignore it. What the hell did Kakashi say to her? "Fine. But still. He's different now, Sakura. You know that. And with the way he's been watching you, I'd feel better if there was distance." he said.
Sakura glanced back at Sasuke, who was indeed watching both of them intently. She turned back to Shikamaru. "Fine. We'll put him up there with Neji. Make an excuse of team work or something. Hell I don't care. But now since you've mentioned it, every time I see it its going to creep me out, thanks Shika." She said.
"Sakura…" Shikamaru started, but was stopped.
"No. Shika. Its fine. I'm not mad." Sakura looked at him. "Thanks. I appreciate it. I'll move people. But continue to watch him." She said, before dropping back to Kiba.
"I need you to move up to Shino. Side by side. We're traveling in two lines." Kiba nodded before speeding up to catch up with his partner. Sakura then fell back to Hinata. "Pull up next to Tori. When I get Neji and Sasuke together, you get in the opposite line that Neji is in." A nod from Hinata and the Hyuuga heiress was moving. Now to Sasuke…She thought with a growl.
She took a deep breathe and moved up next to the Uchiha. "We're changing positions." She said, in a low voice.
Sasuke turned to look at her. "Something wrong?" He questioned.
Sakura shook her head. "Just moving things around a bit. We felt too spread out." she said.
"You and the Nara boy didn't seem very spread out." Sasuke commented.
Sakura ignored it. "Move up with Neji. You guys are leading." she said.
Sasuke frowned. "Sakura…I, "He was cut off.
"Not now, Sasuke." Sakura said, as she started to move away from him. She was stopped when his hand wrapped around her wrist and jerked her back to him. She saw Shikamaru turn around and shook her head at him. His eyes narrowed but he didn't go to her.
"Yes now, Sakura." Sasuke said, his mouth close to her ear.
Sakura ripped her arm from his grasp. "Look. There are issues, this I know. But we are on a mission, Sasuke. Put the mission first and we will deal with this afterwards." she said. "Now get up there with Neji."
Sasuke glared at her. "Fine. But we will talk this out." he said before turning away from her.
"I have no idea what this is." Sakura answered.
"You will." Sasuke said, as he sped up and away from her.
Shikamaru was instantly at her side. "Are you okay?"
Sakura nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. And you're right. He thinks there's something between us that's not there." She said. She thought she saw Shikamaru look away. "Shika?"
Shikamaru laughed. "Don't know where he's getting it from." He said, but the laugh didn't reach his eyes.
They were both silent for the next few hours, until it was time to stop and set up camp. They had left Konoha mid-day and it was already getting dark.
"Pull up. Set up camp." Sakura called, dropping down from the trees. Shikamaru quickly followed, along with everyone else.
They had dropped down in the middle of a clearing, that was covered over head in branches and leaves. Sakura stood on the middle, thumb nail between her teeth. Her team spread out around her while Shikamaru walked up behind her.
"Instructions?" He questioned quietly, sliding his hands into his pockets.
Sakura nodded before turning to Neji. "You and Sasuke set up camp." She turned to Hinata and Tori. "You guys take Kiba and Akamaru and find food and firewood." Then she turned to Shino. "Perimeter." Shino nodded, before turning away from her. "Shikamaru and I will follow behind you and set up our own." He nodded again and took off into the woods.
Sakura pulled her tent package out of her backpack and dropped it on the ground near Neji, then she dropped the rest of her pack near the closest tree. She turned to Shikamaru.
"Lets go." He nodded, noticing the onyx eyes that followed them as they jumped up into the trees and followed Shino.
Okie dokie. Done. What did ya think? Sasuke seems to be easily distracted, ne? :D Now. Click that buttom down at the bottom and review!
