Long black hair blew in the slight wind, dark almost black colored eyes looked out onto the village this ninja once called home. People said she is following in her cousin's footsteps, but that is not it. She was out to kill him herself. But right now, she needed to see a certain some one from her past. A fellow ninja.

A blond stood next to her, "Want me to come with you? Or will you do this on your own without having a breakdown, un?"The blond male asked her with a smirk on his face.

"Wipe that ugly smirk off your face, I can do this myself. I don't know why you even came with me."The black haired female snared at the blond male.

"Yeah, whatever. I am leaving."The blond said as he disappeared.

The female looked out onto the village and took a deep breath.

Her name was Ami Uchiha, she was once a ninja of the village hidden in the leaves. But after Sasuke talked to her that one day, she knew what her calling was. So she also left, leaving no Uchiha in the village. She joined the Akatsuki after Sasori died, she was put with Deidara. She was not wearing a cloak, but an outfit. It was a black top with white trimming on the arms and neck, then it ended as a belly shirt. But it had white trimming and fishnet to cover her stomach, then it had a few of the Akatsuki symbols on the top. As bottoms she wore black shorts, and as shoes she wore black ninja sandels that went just below her knee.

Ami was coming back only to see Shikamaru, the one person she ever hung around with. The only person she felt calm with, it broke her heart that she left without telling him about it. She had always told Shikamaru everything, they were like best friends.

She started to run towards the village, many thoughts racing through her mind. She stopped once she reached the village gates, but she was hiding in the shdows making sure she would not be seen. Then she jumped to the top of a tree, from there she hid again. Ami disappeared in a puff of smoke, then she reappeared in a grassy clearing. From where she was she could see a figure, one she could remember. 'Shikamaru...'The name ran through her head.

She started to walk to him, now she could see him clearly. He was fast asleep, a smile crossed her face. The first smile she had cracked in a few years. Ami stopped when she reached the sleeping male. "Shika-kun."She said as she stood above him.

The male groaned, "Ino. Leave me alone, I don't want to listen to you."He mummbled with his eyes closed.

"Wow, it has been a long time hasen't it Shikamaru?"Ami asked with her arms at her sides. She saw the dark brown haired boy tense up, then his eyes opened. His eyes widened, That face. He knew that face, and that voice. He started to stand up, a shocked look on his face. "A-a-ami?"He studdered. "Yes its me Shika, but I can not stay for to long. I have to get back to the ba-"She was cut off by Shikamaru as he pulled her into a warm embarce. "Where have you been?"He asked looking down at her. Ami wrapped her arms around Shikamaru's middle. "You won't like it if I tell you."She said letting him go and taking a step back.

Shikamaru looked at her, "No. Ami, you did not do that."Shikamaru looked concerned. "I can't belive you joined the Akatsuki!"Shikamaru stated, in scolding way. "Shh!"Ami hushed Shikamaru. "Please keep your voice down, I do not want anyone to hear I am back."She pleaded. "I came back to speak with you."Ami said, her cold hard eyes were soft.

"I knew I smelt a rat!"A voice called from trees, a blond walked out. Her blue eyes narrowing, "Ami Uchiha, you come back after all this time. You are the reason my Sasuke-Kun left."Ino said as she walked up. Ami got in a defenceive pose and glared at Ino. Her eyes were cold again. "You shut your mouth blondie!"Ami snapped. "One, I came back to see Shikamaru. And two Sasuke left on his own will to Orochimaru. So you better watch what you say!"Ami snapped. Her fists were balled.

"Ami calm down."Shimkamaru said putting a hand on her shoulder then pulled his hand back, she had schocked him. No seriously, she had sparks of black-sh blue chakura comming fom her. Ino started to back up, she looked at Ami. Her Sharingan was activated, "Ami...j-just chill."Ino studdered as she backed up. Ami started to Charge at Ino, she was only inches away from blasting her with her fist. But something grabbed her arm, she turned to see a female standing there. She had long magenta hair that was in a long braid then her bangs were puple, her pink eye were narrowed. "Ami stop this now."Her voice was almost like a snarl. Three other girls surrounded her, "Amaya let me go now."Ami snapped. "No. Not until I know you are under control."Amaya snapped back.

The black-ish blue chakra went away, then she closed her eyes and opened them again. Her Sharingan was not there anymore. Amaya let her go, but the four girls were still around her. Ino ran off back into the village. Around here were Amaya Anzai, Ai Hyuuga, Suki, and an old friend Asami Nara.

"Ami what are you doing back here?"Amaya asked. "We though you had left for good."Asami added. Ami just looked away to Shikamaru. "Its none of your buisness."Ami said in a soft voice. She broke through the circle and started to walk away.

"Ami wait!"Shikamaru called, Ami was not listening. Shikamaru turned to the four female that were watching Ami walk away. "What is wrong with you? See now she is leaving again!"Shikamaru stated. Amaya looked to him, "Maybe its for the better Shikamaru. Maybe she will find peace without-"Amaya was cut off.

"No! She will only find peace with the once she feels that she can be herself around. None of you know Ami, the only people that do are myself and Sasuke."Shikamaru snapped, he was not acting like his normal calm self again. "She may have seemed like a mean heartless person to you people, but she was really a sweet kind hearted girl,"He stated. "But of course none of you gave the chance to be her friend because you all though she was mean."He added. "Even you Asami, you just were someone that hung on the sidelines. You really never cared."Shikamaru said. Then he started to walk off in the direction Ami went off in, hoping to find her again. Before she would leave for good.
