Chapter 4: Mission Failure
Shikamaru ran over to the bridge. He looked down, it was well over a 100 feet. Without thinking he dove and plunged into the freezing water. The water was so cold that when he entered goose bumps were all over his skin, but the thought perished from his mind. He had to save Ino. It was the only thing running through his head.
Then he saw her. Her lifeless body was sinking to the bottom. 'Not if I can help it.' he thought. 'I can't let her die… I won't!' So with all his strength he swam and pushed as hard as he could to get to her. When he got to her he turned to face the surface and he froze. There floating in between him and the surface was a giant squid big enough to crush Ino and him into tiny fragments.
Using a few kunai he chucked them at the squid, who screamed in agony but wasn't going to give up without a fight. It swung at Shikamaru with one of its tentacles who was holding the unconscious Ino. Dodging the swing Shikamaru attached a paper bomb to a kunai and threw it at the squid aiming for it's head. Bulls eye! Swimming around the creature now he headed for the surface as fast as he could to get them out of there. He didn't need to use that much strength though because of the explosion him and Ino went flying upward, out of the water and landing right on the bank of the river.
Shikamaru quickly checked Ino's pulse to see if she was breathing. After he realized she wasn't he started CPR. "C'mon Ino, breathe!" he cried while continuing CPR on her lifeless body. After the 5th set of chest pumps he realized tears were trickling down his face. "Ino! You can't leave me! Wake up, wake up!" he sobbed. Then suddenly after the 6th set she ceased to her deathly sleep and started spitting up water. Shikamaru was so relieved he hugged her, forgetting the fact that she was still coughing, but he didn't care. All that mattered was she was still alive.
"I thought I lost you." he said while still suffocating her to his chest. Ino looked up at his face and touched it with her hand. He had such a smooth beautiful face. She couldn't help herself to touch the face of her savior's. She still held his face in her hand as she fell back into unconsciousness with the picture of him fresh in her mind.
