Chapter 14: Outsmarting the Smartest
"Come at me with all you have woman, i'll still be able to take you down." Shikamaru said with a larger smirk on his face. The masked woman was starting to get very angry.
"Stop bragging!" she yelled. Shikamaru's smirk disappeared, he sighed and put his hands in his pockets. The woman ripped her mask off, to reveal a tan-skinned woman with greenish-blue eyes. Her face seemed calm, but her attitude was the opposite.
"So, you've revealed your face...can you go ahead and reveal your name to me while you are at it?" Shikamaru asked. The woman smirked.
"My name is Monica Nouscue, the true Temet's Wife." Monica said. Shikamaru smirked.
"The Leader's Wife? Well...then I guess this will be more troublesome then I thought....oh well, you are only a woman after all." Shikamaru said and pulled his hands out of his pockets to reveal a small ball.
"Only a woman?!" Monica yelled and made a few hand signs. "This will teach you to stop being such an asshole!" she continued. "Water Style, Water Prison Jutsu!"
"A low level jutsu like that? Too easy!" Shikamaru said as he jumped up to avoid the her and the water prison attatched to her hand. "I'll show you something that I would expect from you." Shikamaru said and threw the ball up into the air. He made a few hand signs, but Monica was up in his face as she slapped him, he spit out blood and laughed as the ball reached behind her back.
"I saw that one coming." Shikamaru said as he made one last hand sign and jumped up futhur into the air as the ball exploded into small kunai's and paper bombs. The bombs would quickly explode, the kunai's would stab into the large cloud of smoke.
"It's over that fast eh, what a shame. As I said...only a woman." Shikamaru said and turned on his radio, he turned around to get better signal. "Temari, can you hear me?" he asked.
"Yes, I can hear you, i'm still in pursuit of my suspect, this person is faster then I thought, I saw your bomb go off, does that mean you were victorious?" Temari's voice answered.
"Yeah, it was a woman named Monica, said she was the smartest in the group, she also said she was the leader's wife...it was easy, she tried a water style jutsu, so I knew she wouldn't be hard to finish off, I still had so many back up plans, but I was disappointed." Shikamaru explained.
"I hope you don't have your back turned, she could have been tricking you as well if she said she was the smartest in the group. Be Careful, I love you." Temari said.
"I love y-" Shikamaru began, but was cut off by the sight of his own blood falling to the ground. Temari was shrieking for Shikamaru to answer, he couldn't move, it was like he was frozen. He opened his eyes...
"What did you say foolish shinobi? I saw that one coming?" Monica's voice called out. "How do you like my Ice Prison Jutsu, I hated to interupt, but I couldn't wait forever." Monica continued.
Shikamaru was stuck and frozen on the spot, Shikamaru was panicking in his mind, but it wasn't evident on his face. Damn...she got me...
"How does it feel? I guess i'm the first one to be able to say I 'Outsmarted the Smartest'!" Monica said and then burst into laughter.
