TenTen and Neji got a good distance into the forest before they stopped. "Everything is turning upside down." She said quietly referring the death's of there friends. "…It almost as if it is our fate to stay here till we die." He said a gloomy voice. TenTen eyes grew wide and slapped Neji across the face.
"Don't you dare start speaking like that!" TenTen yelled before noticing what she did. "I'm sorry." she said softly rubbing his now swollen cheek. "…No it's alright. I think I needed that." Neji said. "I guess we are all on edge." She said turning towards the nearest lake. "Be right back I'll get a wet cloth for your cheek." TenTen said with a smile before walking off towards the lake.
Meanwhile back at the camp site Shikamaru was looking for clues. He first searched Sakura's medical stuff. "This is very odd…" he said noticing the poisons where back in bag and they where empty. "Sakura didn't even touch this bag since examining Hinata's body. There's no way she could have put it back without the others noticing." He came to that conclusion.
Shikamaru went outside to the post where Neji had stood during the night. "Based off these footprints it seems he only moved form this spot in the morning, meaning when Hinata was found dead by the girls, so it can't be him." He said now moving onto the spot where Naruto went to use the 'bathroom'. "Well it sure smells…" Shikamaru commented pinching his nose close with his fingers. "These foot prints don't show him moving to the girl's tent ether." He said.
Shikamaru returned to camp and walked up to Kakashi. "Where's the mission scroll?" he asked getting straight to the point. "That is what I'm currently looking for. It's gone…" Kakashi said sounding a little worried. "Great… now I have no clues to go on." Shikamaru said dryly. "Who ever is this doing is surely taking great effort in covering up his or her tracks." Kakashi said as Shikamaru nodded.
Back to the TenTen and Neji in the forest. TenTen took out a piece of cloth and placed it in the water. "This water is sure nice. I bet there are lots of fish." She said with a smile trying to spot a few. Neji meanwhile was testing on how many birds he could see with his Byakungan. "8… 9… no wait that ninth isn't a br-!" Neji said but was cut off when something hit him hard on the back of his head.
"Neji I'm back with the wet cloth for your che-…?! NEJI!!" TenTen screamed causing those eight birds to fly high in the sky, free bound by no cage...

Writer's Notes: Sorry about this chapter being short. This whole week and the next two or three weeks I'll be studying finals and regents so I won't have time to making my chapters at least 800 words long and if I do it would a miracle or I don't have anything to do for that day. Once again I had to shorten the name for the chapter.
