"So I was right about the person I have suspected. I just can't believe it's you… No matter I'll stop because you have broken the bonds which make us fellow leaf ninjas." Shikamaru said as he took out a kunai form his leg weapons holder. He quickly threw the kunai towards the murderer. But he miss calculated the enemy as the kunai cut threw a thin wire. "A trap?!" Shikamaru asked as he quickly looked around, last place he looked was up. It was too late. Rainfall like kunai fell onto the lazy ninja.

"Damn it…!" Shikamaru managed to say as blood began to fill his mouth. He fell over onto the floor, which was now covered in his blood. As the last minutes of his life, he looked his killer in the eyes. "…Why?" Shikamaru asked sounding almost like a mumble. The murderer laughed and threw a book to the floor titled, Shinobi Rules. It was opened the page which was open the 25th rule about emotions. It was mocking Shikamaru and everyone else in there team who had cried over there fallen friends.

Sakura was busy running threw the forest trying to look for Ino. "Ino where are you?!" she asked as the blond haired ninja looked up at the tree tops. "Down here Sakura!" Ino called out as Sakura went down to her level. "It isn't safe to be by yourself." Sakura said sighing in relief that her friend and rival was alright. "Where're the others?" Ino asked. "The last time I saw them, Naruto was looking for Shino and Kakashi-sensei was back at camp." Sakura said as Ino bent down and picked up a flower.

"I'm surprised such a beautiful flower is growing in such a place." Ino said frowning. "TenTen… I found her dead." Sakura said looking down at the flower. "Her too…" Ino said as the grip on the flower was loosen, slowly falling to the floor. "Let's go fishing." Sakura said worried about the silence that had fallen on them. "Yeah." Ino replied standing up and leading the way to the river.

Kakashi was quickly making his way in the forest but stopped when he caught site of Naruto heading back. "Naruto!" Kakashi called out getting in front of the Naruto. "Kakashi-sensei, Shino is dead!" Naruto said still in a panicking mode. "Calm down… Where's Shikamaru?" Kakashi asked. "He should be right be-…?" Naruto said looking back but saw no Shikamaru trailing behind. "Where's the last time you saw him?" Kakashi asked quickly hoping his gut feeling that Shikamaru was dead was wrong.

"Where Shino body was." Naruto said as quickly jumped to the next tree but Kakashi grabbed his ankle before he got away. "No Naruto, go find Sakura and Ino. Those two are in danger." Kakashi said as Naruto nodded and went towards the river. "Damn it! I hope I'm not too late…" Kakashi said making his way towards Shikamaru.


sad little monkey: English was never my strong point but I'll try harder to catch my mistakes. But thank for pointing out that I need to watch out for homonyms. It is also hard for me to check my own work. I try to times get my mother to check but she very busy to do so and my bad is not a native speaker of English so he isn't a reliable source to ask.

kkzilla1: Keep reading to see if it's Ino who's the murdere

Writer's Notes: It makes me laugh as I look back at the first time I got this idea for this fanfic. It first came to me to make it a fan comic. I tried but I have a limited drawing ability so I stuck in limbo on what to do. I had almost forgotten about my account on . Luckily I had remember at the last minute. But I still wish my drawings where better... it would probably make a better fan comic. Sigh... oh well. If anyone has any interest on how my drawings look I'll hopefully soon put a link to my deviantART account on my profile.
