Yo, another update. Yays. I'm going to be gone starting friday for like three or four days so not updates then, but I'll still write in anotebook then type it. I don't own Naruto.
"Kita's scent is coming up." Hana said and Shikamaru nodded.
"Anyone else there?" he asked and she nodded.
"Smoke is masking it so I can't tell if they're alive or not." She said and Shikamaru nodded.
"Lee, scout ahead." He said and turned to Sakura. "We'll need you to do a full examination immediately." He said and Sakura nodded her head.
Lee was already running back face serious. "Kita-chan has a blonde boy tending to what seems to be a wound." Lee said and Shikamaru nodded.
"Alright, enter with as much caution as possible." He said and then reached the area where three men laid burnt to death, and unconscious Kita and blonde boy wrapping her arms. "Lee, get him." Shikamaru said Lee had the boy flat against the ground, arm on his head.
Sakura was already examining having to cut off the bandages already put on. "Hey, who are you?" The blonde asked and Lee pushed his head into the sand making him spit.
"We're the search team for that girl." Shikamaru said. "Please cooperate and inform of us of what was happening." He said
"I'm fine with that." The boy said and looked at Lee, Shikamaru nodded his head to Lee who let the boy up. "My name is Yuki. My team and I were sent from Mist to attack anyone coming from Suna, we're trying to cut off their contact to attack." He said.
"What happen?" Shikamaru said taking out little notebook and jotting down notes.
"Well we followed the girl after she left the village, we held our distance till she fell asleep so we tried a sneak attack." He said. "She send the dog, Akaharu or something, off and fought. I use frost, which seemed to be her weak point so, my other teammates closed in. Then there was a dragon-inferno, pretty short, but it killed anyone too close." He said.
Shikamaru looked up the Yuki his eyes now. "Yes?" Shikamaru prompted.
"So the girl, passed out, her shirt had burned off, and someone had stabbed her, in the stomach not too deep, so I was cleaning her up. To tell the truth I figured I might join her in where ever she was going, I'm not too fond of Mist." He stated fanning himself.
Shikamaru turned to come face to face with Hana, who seemed to be blocking his view of Sakura and Kita. "Moron, Sakura is doing full check up." She sand Shikamaru turned away.
"Lee, tie Yuki up. Nothing personal just precaution." Shikamaru said and checked the burned figures just to be sure they were dead.
"Done." Sakura said tugging a still sleeping Kita around her shoulders. "Just exhaustion, the wound was easy and no poison." She said and Kita's head drooped.
"Shikamaru, lend her your vest." Hana said and Shikamaru obeyed willing to follow to the older scarier female. Hana zipped it around Kita who barely moved.
--
"She's really out, huh?' Shikamaru said and grinned evilly. Lee rushed forward before Shikamaru could act and offered to carry Kita, so his angel Sakura wouldn't be burdened.
Kita's eyes drifted open and she squinted, it was cold. Wait cold? She was in the desert. "She up?" Someone said by her face and she instantly struck out with her fist.
"Kita-chan!" Another said and she fully opened her eyes Lee stood over her staring and Shikamaru who was rubbing his chin.
"You did that on purpose!" Shikamaru accused and Kita snickered. "First I headed your search team then you hit me." Shikamaru snarled.
"Shikamaru, calm down. Kita's had a hard trip." Tsunade said coming in and kindly smiled at the girl. Kita raised a brow and slid from the hospital bed.
"My brother, back?" She asked curiously and tried to pass Tsunade, who blocked her way. "Excuse me." She said and tried again.
"Let's take a walk." Tsunade said and Kita looked back at Lee who shrugged. Kita followed after Tsunade. "You're brother is a very good ninja." She stated as they went down the corridor.
"Yeah, sure whatever." Kita said Tsunade opened a door. Kita followed her in and blinked. "Daigo?" She asked
"Daigo is…" Tsunade paused and Kita rushed forward shaking the limp body. "Kita!" Tsunade shouted as the girl kicked at the cot holding her brother up. "I've lost my brother too, but please calm down." Tsunade said and Kita grabbed Daigo's wrist and gasped.
"This can't be my brother." She said and Tsunade sighed.
"I tried denial it'll only hurt more." She and.
Kita shook her head and pointed to his wrist. "Daigo has a small tattoo of a dragon on his left wrist, this body doesn't." She said and Tsunade blinked.
"In our physical report Daigo never had a tattoo." She responded.
"He kept it hidden, he showed me the day he got." She said determinedly. "Could you check again?" Kita begged and Tsunade nodded.
"Why did you come back today?" Tsunade asked.
"Yeah, yeah." Kita said eyes still on the maybe fake Daigo. "So I was talking with Temari. She said I should try and work my problems with Shikamaru out at like counseling, so I can to suggest it!" She said shrugging.
"It might work." Tsunade said doubtfully. "I'll arrange something come to Hokage tower tomorrow at eight." She said and Kita nodded. "Go get some rest you look pale." Tsunade said and Kita nodded again leaving after a few glances over the shoulder.
--
Shikamaru and Kita stared at the young man with thing brown mustache and short brown hair, his eyes were a dark purple. "Hello I'm Dr. Miki." He said and smiled gently. "Tsunade-sama asked me to help you to convey your feelings." He said and they nodded nervously.
"Troublesome." Shikamaru muttered.
"Alright let's start, I want you to say one good thing about each other." Miki said and they made a face. "Kita-chan you first." He said and she gulped.
"He sleeps a lot, so then he doesn't talk." She said and Miki's eyes went some shade of red.
"Try again." Miki said and Kita nodded squeezing the chair arm.
"He keeps his hair neat?" She offered and Miki nodded smiling on his face. He looked to Shikamaru who avoided eye contact.
"She is good at um…getting in trouble?" He said and Miki shook his head eyes turning color again. "She smiles a lot." He said and Miki clapped.
"Shikamaru-kun, Kita-chan I'm proud of you. You're coming along at a good pace." He said and took out to puppets that looked freakishly like them. "Shikamaru, you'll act as Kita and Kita you'll act and Shikamaru." He said handing them the puppets.
"Oh look, I'm lazy and can't stand for more then a minute with out passing out, oh troublesome!" Kita said making the puppet lay.
Shikamaru grunted. "Oh look, I'm Kita. I have anger management problems!" he said and hit the puppet against his chair. "I'm dumb." He said and Miki grabbed the puppets.
"Okay, that was a bit early for that." He said vein in his forehead looking ready to burst. "Try having a polite normal conversation, through the puppets." He said and gave them the puppets of themselves.
"How are your parents, Shikamaru?" Kita asked
"Fine." Shikamaru said and sighed. "My dad's whipped as always." He added.
"Oh and you aren't? Ino and Temari have you on a one inch leash. And when you see Sakura the same thing happens."
"Oh? Really? Whatever you followed Kiba around with hearts in your eyes."
"Whatever puppy."
"Shut up." Shikamaru said and Kita made howling noise. "Troublesome girl." He said and Kita's puppet smacked his.
"Want to go?" Kita said and Shikamaru's puppet kicked hers. "Oh its on." She said and her puppet body-slammed his.
"Stop!" Miki said snatching the puppets away. "If you can't be have both of you will be tied to the chairs." He said and smacked Kita on the head then Shikamaru. "Out, but be back tomorrow!" He said and the two went running.
"Dr. Miki is psycho." Kita said and Shikamaru nodded. "You like that I smile a lot?" She asked and Shikamaru blushed shrugging.
"You think my hair is neat?" He asked and she blushed looking away.
"Yeah, neat is nice, but you should let it down every once in awhile." She said and they stared at their feet.
"No being on the same sides of the village besides counseling!" Tsunade shouted from her window, chair held like she'd throw it at them. The two separated quickly.
--
Kita sat bored in her yard then heard rapid barking and two large figures tackled into her. "Kiba!" She said and he slid off her laughing with Akamaru.
"Heard, you were attacked, this is why I said wait!" He snapped and pretended to punch her in the face. "Come on lets hang out to night. Get dumplings?" He offered and she nodded eagerly.
--
Kiba and Kita sat across from each other in the small booth. Every time they looked up it became awkward. "So two order of shrimp dumplings for the lady, and one order of chicken soup, and one order of meat dumplings for the gentlemen. And tea for the both of you." The young male waiter said and left.
"Akamaru seemed pretty mad that he had to go home." Kita said and Kiba shrugged.
"He's okay I promised him a new rawhide bone if he wasn't a brat." He said and she nodded making an approving noise.
"So, how was Suna with out me?" She asked
"Pretty boring." He said and paused as they got their tea. "Gaara was always working, Neji is well and ice cube, Kankuro busy with his puppets, and let's just say Temari didn't find my jokes funny." He said and rubbed his shoulder.
"Oh well being attacked kind of sucked." She said and he nodded sipping some of his drink.
"Yeah, hey well. I heard about Daigo, when the funeral?" He asked solemnly and Kita smacked where he had rubbed his arm. "Ouch! You did that on purpose."
"I told Tsunade, that isn't my brother." She said and he sighed.
"Tsunade thinks that you're in denial." He said and she glared.
"What do you think?" She asked and he sighed.
"I don't know. But if you says he's alive he probably is." He said and their food arrived eating quietly the silence became prolonged until they paid and left. They stood and shuffled forward.
Kiba grabbed her hand intertwining fingers and she blinked. "Aw." The old cook said as they went out the door.
"Trying to be cool and express that this was date and I want to be your boyfriend." Kiba said turning from Kita's curious eyes.
"Oh, okay." She said and they walked. "What do couples do?" She asked.
"You don't know?" He asked groaning.
"Oh yeah, and you've had tons of experience Dog Breath." She snapped and he chuckled.
"There was Sumi, Hiromi, Nami, Sayuri, and Kame. Those were only a few." He said and she giggled.
"Those were your assigned dance partners in the academy." She teased and he went red.
"Whatever couples just hold hands, flirt, and kiss or something." He said and she shrugged. He blinked some how they had ended up and Kita's door.
She stood on her tiptoes kissing his nose and laughing at his surprised face. "Hello there." Akira said opening the door hands on a katana. Kiba's eyes widened. He backed away slowly before all out running.
Okay more Kiba-Kita, but was that a ShikaxKita Moment?? You know what I'm talking about. :)
