Disclaimer: Do i really need to say this? me not own starcraft or naruto (really wish i did...)
Skies over Char Sara
Char Sara, what was once a lush forest world, now a scorched zerg-infested wasteland. After dropping from hyperspace Shino examined his surroundings. The convoy was still in formation, to his left was the planet they had to get past safely; ahead he noticed a group of five battle cruisers in a high orbit.
Seeing nothing else of interest he opened a radio channel. "Bishop three to Bishop one over."
"Go ahead Shino I read you."
"It would appear there is a small task force of battle cruisers in the area. Do you wish for me to contact them for assistance?"
"I don't think we'll need any help just yet, but do monitor their area scans. If the zerg come after us I don't want to be flat footed."
"Roger that." Sasuke turned off his radio and scanned the status of the two buildings. 'Heh flying buildings.' He mused to himself. They flew much slower then regular spaceships so what would normally be a ten minute flight to the other side of the planet was going to take them at least an hour. He ran a full systems check to keep himself occupied. It would, with any luck, be a dull hour.

Her head rolled back on his pillow letting a small moan escape through her lips. She was his partner and on some level they might even call each other friends. Friends with benefits. And right now they both needed this to help unwind from the stresses of the day.
Shikamaru took another look at the blond feminine form below him. The sweat on her body made it glisten slightly in the dimly lighted room while her eyes blissfully drift unfocused round the room and ample breasts jiggled with his rhythmic thrusting. He leaned himself downward and gently suckled on her left nipple eliciting another low moan from the prone form of his partner. After a minute of this he lifted his head slightly from the fleshy mound and softly exhaled on to it causing her to inhale sharply.
"Fa- faster," Temari managed to stutter out. Shikamaru slowly upped his tempo before turning his attention to her other breast, teasing her hard nipple with his tongue. Her hands clutched the back of his head and forced him down onto it.
Tomorrow things would return to normal, as if this interlude never happened. They would never speak of it to each other or anyone else. There weren't any real feelings behind what they were doing; they just needed to work off pent up frustration.

He stood there staring out the window at their fighter escort. The artificial gravity had been activated half way through the jump so Naruto was actually standing on the floor. His eyes slowly shifted between visible fighters as his brain tried to figure out which one belonged to Sasuke. Naruto was angry at him. He wasn't angry at Sasuke directly, just angry at what his friend had cause. Sakura was like a sister to him. They had grown up together on Konoha, she was his first friend, and the fact that one of his best friends had been harmed in a way he couldn't protect her from irked him all the more.
"Corporal Uzumaki," the calm but authoritative call disrupted his thoughts, causing him to reflexively spin around and salute the first thing with a pulse he saw.
"Yes Sir!" Though the room was dark he could make out the person in the door way as the company commander, one Captain Kakashi Hatake.
"As you were Naruto," Kakashi un-propped himself from the door frame and strode toward the center of the room as he spoke, "I am told you have some knowledge about the cause of Corpsman Haruno current condition?"
Naruto relaxed back into the window frame, his face dropped into a slight frown as he formed his reply, "Yes and No sir, I don't know anything about the actual event, I just know that Sas . . . her boyfriend broke off their relationship. Why did something happen?"
"No but she's in the infirmary they're giving her emotional stabilizers and a memory inhibitor, she should be fit for duty by tomorrow, I just need to know if something critical happened that would require me to remove her from active status." Naruto nodded his understanding. Nether said anything as they stared out the window in silence.
Their escort formation broke off to engage a small group of zerg that were vectoring towards the convoy. At the first sign of live fire the captain turned and made his way back to the door but before he exited he turned and said, "Naruto. She still has her friends; she will make it through this." Naruto turned towards his commander only to find himself alone in the room again.
Shifting back to the fire fight he let out a long sigh, "Yes Sir, I know."

Sasuke rolled right to avoid another shot from the mutalisk behind him. He knew from experience that one of those weird plasma bone things they shot forth could wreak hell on a fighter if it hit.
Things weren't going well; Mutalisks had been coming in waves after the first group. One of his men already had to disengage and dock with a battle cruiser for repairs. His squadron was good. Damn good. But there were still more zerg on the way and even the battle cruisers had had to get involved in the fight.
His heads-up-display was telling him that two more of the damnable creatures had join in his pursuit and his squad-mates were too busy with their own problems to come help out. With a deft flick of the control stick he banked left dodging two more glowing green shots and activating his com system. "All units we have three minutes until the 131st builds are in jump position. We need to hold out until then. Once they jump we jump, break off as you can and make for Konoha, the cruisers should be able to hold out until their reinforcements arrive."
Sasuke abruptly pulled up and cut throttle causing the mutalisks behind him to shoot by. He then rolled over and dove after them rapidly getting a target lock on each. He grinned.

Asuma held a grim expression as he poured over the data his ghost agent had brought him.
The first psi emitter was terrifying but simple, it acted as a homing beacon to summon zerg swarms to target area, however the side effect was where ever they landed effectively became theirs. This new emitter was a whole different beast all together. The data before him indicated it could influence a zerg on a far greater level then just calling out to it. One video even showed researchers being able to send a zergling into a violent frenzy then calming it back down completely in the span of a few minutes. He scratched his beard and grumbled slightly as he looked at another document. All the information was pointing to something bad, but what exactly that something bad was still eluded him and he was unwilling to give Raynor a report full of holes and half baked conclusions.
"Generally people announce their arrival instead of just hovering over my shoulder Lieutenant." He turned to face the rooms other occupant, the senior Black Ops agent under his command. "Is there something you need Crimson?" She scowled slightly tauntingly holding up a datapad, "Well I was going to tell you we got a message from one of our contacts but I can see your not in a mood to talk."
Asuma took a deep breath and visibly relaxed be for continuing, "Sorry Kurenai, haven't been getting the best of news lately. What do you have for me?" Her frown disappeared as she sat down on the near by table and got down to business.
"We got a message from our contact Scarecrow. The 2nd company of the 131st is arriving on Konoha in less than six hours. They've been placed on assignment to assist that team of ghosts we've been trying to evade for the last month and a half. It's mostly an infantry company about a hundred and twenty strong with one platoon of light recon vehicles."
"Well that's not going to make our job any easier," Asuma groused, "more people means they'll be able to search larger areas more easily and we don't have the forces to be able to take them head on."
"On the positive side their movements will be easy to track," the red eyed woman interjected, "it's hard to hide that many people."
"Maybe but I'm not willing to take any chances on this one. The cleaning teams should be back before they land and the command center has been moved, once there back I'm putting our remaining facilities in silent running and sending unnecessary personal into hiding. If at all possible I'd like them to think we abandon the planet." Kurenai nodded thoughtfully, "Should work assuming the cleaning teams do their job right and I know Hinata will appreciate the time off, she has been trying to work up the courage to ask for time off for the Festival of Leaves."
"Heh, A timid Ghost I think that's a first for the industry," they both chuckled, "She can have the time off as long as she lays low."
"I don't think that will be a problem." She sighed as she got up to leave, stopping at the door with a half turn, an uncertain scowl on her lips. "Something wrong Kurenai?"
"There was something else in the message that I couldn't make sense of," she hesitantly responded, "it said the nine tailed fox is among them."
Asuma's cigarette fell from his mouth.

Safely in hyperspace Shino took stock of his situation. He had no missiles left, damage to his port side maneuvering thrusters, and his mass stabilizer was inoperable. Landing his fighter would be a tricky task.
The battle had gone well all things considered. The buildings they had been escorting made it safely around the planet and into hyperspace as had most of the squadron. Only Jinta had been lost, shot down during his jump attempt, Aoba was docked with one of the battle cruisers and would rejoin them as soon as repairs were complete.
"Bishop one to all remaining units our ETA to Konoha is four hours thirty seven minutes," Sasuke's voice emerge over the radio, "Get some rest everyone and good work."
Shino glanced at the two pictures on the panel in front of him. One was of his family. The other was a group photo of sasuke, kiba, him self, naruto and sakura. It was taken on their last day together before being shipped off for training. "It will be good to see home again."
Yeah it was kinda short and im sorry ill try harder next time i promise.
