A little bit of a time skip, sorry if you wanted to see Konoha getting his negima.

Walking down the street, Kimura sighed. She shouldn't have told Kido about buying Konoha a triceratops related thing. Kido had said it was her "mission" to go buy it.

Seriously, this group is fun and all, but sometimes they can do silly things. This, as a mission?

Walking into a convenience store, she was struck by a blast of cold air. The sky was bright blue with several lazy clouds floating in the sky, and the sun was hot.

Heat-Haze weather, heh.

Looking at the keychains and plushies, she spotted a green and yellow triceratops plushie.

Konoha will love that!

Grabbing it, she checked the price tag. It wasn't too expensive, and Kimura quickly purchased it. Tucking it under her arm, she headed back toward the base. She felt hot as she left the store, as she was wearing her grey jacket as usual. She was reluctant to take it off, and so she wore it even though it was hot. As she stepped out onto the path, she heard a cry.

What was that?

Another cry. Then a laugh.

That laugh. It's familiar… No. It couldn't be.

Staggering away, she could only watch as she saw on the opposite side of the road, there stood Kuroha. He was crazily smiling, and was holding a gun and a knife covered in blood. It seemed Kuroha had not seen her yet, and Kimura took off running in the opposite direction. Pulling out her phone that she had gotten shortly after joining the gang, she speed dialed Kido. She picked up after the third ring.

"Yeah, what is it, Kimura?"

"Kido! He's here!"

"Who?"

"Kuroha!"

"Where are you, Kimura?!" Kido's voice sounded slightly panicked, and she could hear her calling the other gang members.

I can only hope Kuroha didn't see me.

Giving Kido the directions to her location, she ducked into a park nearby. It was abandoned, and Kimura hid behind the slide.

I feel kinda stupid hiding here, but if that's what it takes…

"Kido, I'm hiding at the park nearby. Be careful." Kimura could envision Danchou nodding.

"Of course, Kimura. But you're the one in trouble. Hang on, we're almost there."

Kimura looked down, and she realized she was holding something besides her phone. She was clutching the triceratops plushie like her life depended on it. Hearing something, she looked up. There, at the entrance of the park, stood Kuroha. He was chuckling under his breath.

"I thought I heard someone come here. Come out, come out, where ever you are!"

Starting to search the park, Kimura crouched lower as Kuroha got closer and closer. Closing her eyes, she flinched as she heard his voice.

"Found you."

Aaaaand cliffhanger! R&R, and bella ciao!
