Chapter 8: The Mysterious Companion
From the start of the concert till the end, the gang just watched in shocked and amazement. Their eyes almost fall out from their sockets, their mouths hung open and some even drooled.
The concert has long been over but the gang was still in shock. Seems like someone took their ability to speak for no one spoke for a long time.
Sasuke was first to recover, "The concert is over. We have not accomplished anything." He said which was followed by his usual frown. By now most of them have already recovered from shock
Neji spoke, "We have no choice but to wait till tomorrow. Then we will just try and find them around Suna."
"You're really a traditionalist, aren't you?" Tenten retaliated, "Mirage comes and leaves a place very discreetly. What if they have already left Suna?"
"They haven't gone yet." Kiba said, "I can still smell them."
"I have heard you say that for the last five years and what? We are always lead to a dead end." Ino yelled irritatingly.
"Please, try not to argue…" Shizune tried to pacify the rising argument.
But the younger people just continued on their ramblings. Iruka wanted to get out of the fight and he tried to find a distraction. He saw Yamato being quiet and still in his position. He called him but there was no answer. He called him again but there's no answer still. Iruka got worried. He tapped Yamato's shoulder to call his attention.
Yamato looked blankly at him. "Yamato, are you ok?" Iruka asked, still Yamato didn't answer. Kakashi saw them.
"Maybe he's just too shocked and tired."
Just then Yamato whirled around, "Show yourself!" He yelled.
Everyone gave him a confused look, their eyes questioning the man's sanity.
"Uhh… Yamato…"
"I said show yourself!" Yamato yelled again at the dark alley.
Kiba can't contain his self, he laughed. "He has gone…" and he motioned his fingers in a circle near his ear. After doing so he laughed again.
Yamato then ran towards the alley. "Yamato!" They all called.
"Really Kiba? You just need to do that?" Shikamaru sarcastically asked. He was a tired and he really need to go to sleep. It also didn't help that his mind is almost exploding from overthinking. And so the usual calm Shikamaru was acting a little out of character; yelling and swearing all night.
"What? What did I do?"
"You just said he's out of his mind." Choji pointed out.
"Let's just look for him." Naruto said, also irritated that their mission had failed.
The gang looked for their lost comrade. They were surprised to see him gesturing someone behind the trash can to come out. It was dark where the trash can lies and they couldn't see what was behind it.
"YAMATO!" Guy said… er… yelled, "KAKASHI, HAS OUR YAMATO GONE OUT OF HIS MIND? WE SHOULD HELP RESTORE HIS YOUTH!"
Kakashi ignored Guy who was currently clinging in his arms and directed his surprised gaze to Yamato, "Yamato! What are you doing?"
Suddenly something moved behind the trash can. The gang froze, some staggered backwards, and some hold on to the person next to them, like Ino who grabbed Shikamaru's arm.
"What was that Shika?" She asked. She moved a little behind Shikamaru. Shikamaru put his arm infront Ino, shielding her from whatever creature that was hiding from the shadows.
Yamato continued to gesture his arms for the mysterious companion to come out.
"No, no, don't be scared. Come out. They're my friends."
"Yamato are you insane? That's it! I'm using my sharingan." Kakashi said.
"Don't. I can't clearly see him but I know he's harmless." Yamato begged.
But Kakashi had already removed his mask that was covering his left eye and displayed the sharingan. Seeing the sharingan, the creature came out of its hiding and clung to Yamato for dear life. Everyone just stood there shocked.
Author's note: Thank you for reading! Your reviews, follows, and favorites are much appreciated! Thank you! ^_^
Er... so it's not satisfying because I left you again in a cliffhanger... and there's nothing much happened here... well... at least I can have a peek to your imagination...
so people, (I don't know if there's anyone who reads this who is not a person but still, Hello not-people!) who could be this mysterious companion eh? What do you think?
Is it a dog? (Finally! Akamaru can have a mate of his own) or any animal?
or is it someone they knew from the past? (Knock, knock, It's Sai, Hinata, and the others who have not made their appearance for 5 years)
maybe it is just someone they know who have followed them sneakily? (i.e. Moegi, Udon, Konohamaru, Hanabi)
Or is it someone/something that was made by your imagination?
Well, I don't know. You tell me. I mean, okay I do know... but I won't tell you... so you tell me what you think... hehehehe You can put it in your reviews because I won't do any polls again... no one answers them anyway...
If you answer, well thank you! Because you endured my nonsensical blabbing... if you do not, well, okay...
