Troublesome Girl
Chapter Thirteen:
They perched on a tree overlooking the scene below; Sakura was dodging and weaving away from Kisame's colossal sword, Sasuke was battling Deidara in mid air and Naruto's clones had Tobi surrounded. Itachi stood watching the battle with a slim, masked woman beside him. Noticing the reinforcements Itachi nodded to the woman and she attacked. Ino rolled to the side and raced to attack Kisame from behind. Chouji expanded his fist and attempted to grab Deidara out of the air. The woman surged towards Shikamaru.
He ducked and rolled away but she cut him off and kicked, catching him in the shoulder. Shikamaru grunted in pain and dodged a round-house kick from the woman, barely skimming the grass he kicked her feet out from under her and she fell to the ground with a thud. Flipping backwards into a handspring she regained her footing and assaulted Shikamaru with a series of punches and roundhouses. He dodged each one of them until he found himself backed up against a tree; she was too quick for him to use his shadow technique. This fight was going to be purely taijutsu.
He dodged out from in front of the tree and attacked her from behind he attacked with the same series of punches and they hit her square on. Her back hit the tree trunk hard and Shikamaru pinned her arms to the trunk and paralysed her legs with his jutsu. Panting heavily he savoured his victory for a moment before striking her in the side of the head causing her to lose consciousness. She slumped against tree and Shikamaru assessed the rest of the situation.
Kisame was pleading for mercy with Sakura kunai at his throat and Ino's weapons sticking in various places out of his back and stomach. Deidara was lying dead among the trees with the scorch marks of the Chidori decorating his upper torso. Itachi was being overwhelmed by four ANBU officers Sasuke launching them above to deliver the final blow. Tobi had run away after the death of Deidara scared for his life and Shikamaru had knocked out the remaining forces. All of the Akatsuki members were dead, all except for this mysterious woman slowly regaining consciousness.
He quickly caught her feet as the Kohona allies regrouped and were healed by Sakura; the ANBU guards strode over to the captive.
"Where is Orochimaru hiding?"
The woman stayed silent and the guard slapped her, Shikamaru winced he had hit her hard and he could see blood trickling out from behind her mask. He studied her while the ANBU questioned her. Honey blonde hair was twisted up tightly into an intricate knot, hidden by the outside edges of the mask. Something about her defiant nature had him hooked and he stopped the guards from hitting her again.
In one swift movement before she could resist he whipped her mask off and pulled her hair out of its ties. The hair sprung free and covered her face but not before he caught a glimpse of it.
It was Tammie; the ANBU held her hair tightly and pulled her head up so they could see her face. He immediately let go in shock and pulled out an old photograph.
The photo showed all of the old Kohona genine jumping into a swimming pool. Naruto's mouth was open in a silent laugh Hinata clutched close to his chest as she giggled. Sasuke was smirking with his arm around Sakura's shoulder; she was blushing slightly and had a goofy grin in place .Kiba and Ino were laughing and smiling at each other, Neji even had a small smile on his face with TenTen next to him. But what caught the ANBU's eye was a blonde girl off to the side with Shikamaru. The ANBU didn't even need to mention it, the rest knew who she was already.
"Tammie!?"
"What are you doing here?"
"We've been looking for you!"
"Why were you with the Akatsuki? …"
Apprehension dawned on group of Jounine, she was a traitor, an Akatsuki member, and their mission was to wipe out the organisation. Tears rolled down Sakura and Ino's faces and the rest hung their heads.
Bloody Hell Tammie now you've gone and done it! Bit of a cliffy, the writing from here may take a while because I haven't written them yet. Anyways read and review.
