Continuation from...
"Where are you going?"
Yoko stopped in her track. Fear swept in her. She could feel every inch of hair go up. Slowly turning around.
THUMP!
CHAPTER 9 - A lifetime promise
YAWWWWWN~ Ayame stretches from waking up.
"Mm, that was a good sleep." Ayame gets up to go get ready for the day. Hm, where's Yoko? Probably went out to go see Sasuke, I bet, Ayame thought, rolling her eyes. What's so great about him anyways? Ayame just stepped out of her house when Izumo and Kotetsu came running by.
"Excuse us, miss!" They yelled.
"Hm, what's going on?" Ayame said. Just then Shikamaru came walking by.
"Ah, you're the one during the Chuunin Exam." Shikamaru said.
"Hai, I'm Ayame. So, what's all the commotion about?" Ayame said.
"Ah, I'm not sure, until I get to Hokage Residence." Shikamaru said. He left.
Why does this part of the movie seem so familiar... Ayame thought but she couldn't quite wrap it around her finger. Should I follow Shikamaru? Ah well... Ayame walked the opposite way and headed to town to buy some weapons and check out more stores. There, she saw Yoko walking around aimlessly.
"Yoko! Hoy! Yoko!" Ayame called. Yoko turned around, looking dazed and her eyes... Looked like she had been crying.
"Ayame..." Yoko ran towards Ayame and hugged her. "I couldn't... Hic... Stop... R... Hic."
"Hey, calm down. Who did this to you?! I'll make that person pay!" Ayame grabbed Yoko.
"Ryoko... She... Hic... She..."
"Ryoko? She what?!" Ayame yelled.
"She left with... Hic... Sasuke and... Kabuto..." Yoko said. Ayame let Yoko go. Her whole body, drained. Ryoko, has betrayed them along with Sasuke. No wonder this part seemed familiar. Shikamaru went to go grab the group to be taken with him on the quest to retrieve Sasuke. Ayame left Yoko and ran towards the Hokage Residence.
(Hokage Residence)
Ayame slams the door open.
"I'm going too!" Ayame shouted. Ayame turned to look at Sakura who looked lifeless.
"How'd you kno-" Shikamaru was cut off.
"No, you will not." Tsunade said.
"Urusai! I'm going whether you like it or not. My sister, Ryoko, left with Sasuke! I don't know why, b-but I have to go... And bring her back... Home." Ayame said. Looking down clenching her hands into a fist. Sakura was surprised at Ayame's words.
Everybody was quiet.
"Fine. As I said before, Shikamaru you will be the leader of this squad. Find the best genin you can in an hour. After that, take your leave to retrieve back Sasuke. That's an order." Tsunade said.
(Village)
"We gotta go get Sasuke back. The first person we go to is..." Shikamaru said.
"Naruto." Ayame said.
(Naruto's house)
Knock Knock
The door opens.
"Ah, Shikamaru and Ayame? What're you two doing here?" Naruto says.
(On the way to Chouji's house)
"So Sasuke left?! That bastard! And Ryoko left with him?! But why?" Naruto shouted.
"That's what I want to know." Ayame said.
"So who are we getting?" Naruto said.
"Chouji, Kiba, and Neji." Shikamaru said.
(Konoha Entrance)
"Yosh! We have everybody now." Shikamaru said. As they were on their way to walk off Sakura and Yoko showed up together.
"Naruto... Bring Sasuke back home, Onegai shimasu." Sakura cried.
"Ayame... You bring Ryoko back too! Bring her back home." Yoko cried.
Naruto and Ayame looked at each other and smiled.
"It's a lifetime promise!" They both said harmoniously and gave a thumbs-up.
