Chapter 25

Eva stared at Sheeva, pity evident in her eyes. Kankuro burst in with a kunai at hand. He calmed as he saw no threat, and sighed.

"She had another night terror, didn't she? Should have warned you." He stated. She waved it off.

"Come on… try and sit up. Why don't we go for a walk? Just you and me for the day, huh? We'll go train, or maybe head towards the greenhouse. Does that sound good to you?" Eva offered. Sheeva wiped her eyes and nodded.

"That sounds great." She said. Eva smiled.

"I'll try and cook up some breakfast before we go. You're probably really hungry. I know I am." She said. Eva scooted past Kankuro and went to the kitchen. Kankuro sighed, and sat on the edge of Sheeva's bed.

"Gaara assigned us a mission, Sheev's. Kiba, Eva, You and I will be going to join Baki on his mission. Why though, I don't know. Gaara said that it was urgent." He explained.

She stared at him and nodded.

"I understand." She stated. He smiled and patted her head, and then stood, walking away.

Sheeva sighed and gathered her weapons, and carried them to the living room. Eva set a plate down on the table in front of her, and Sheeva stared at it.

"What is…"

"Fried eggs and rice. Don't pick at it, just eat it." She commanded. Sheeva smiled and sat down, picking up some chopsticks and wolfing down the food in seconds. She stood and stretched.

"Damn, that was good!" She exclaimed. Eva peered around the corner of the kitchen, eyebrow quirked in confusion.

"Your spirits are lifted." She stated. Sheeva didn't hear. She picked up her weapons and walked out the door, announcing that she was headed for Kiba's. Kankuro rushed out after her, leaving Eva alone in the apartment.

"Sheeva! Wait! You can't just—huh?" Kankuro ran out to find nothing. Sheeva had disappeared as quickly as she had rushed out the door. He searched for her Chakra signature, unable to locate it. He ran back into the apartment and alarmed Eva, who dropped the pan and ran out the door.

"Sheeva, where the hell did you go? Damnit!" She cursed, jumping up on the roof. She stopped, staring at Sheeva, who was staring off into the distance.

"What are you searching for?" She asked. Sheeva stared out still.

"My old house." She replied, and then took off in a cloud of dust.

"What—god, Sheeva! Seriously…" Eva took off after her.

She eventually caught up with her, and growled as she took off again, heading in the direction of the gates.

This is annoying…

******************************************************************************

"Eva! We just found Kankuro! Come on!!" Kiba's voice called out from outside her door. She opened it, happy.

"Really? Is Sheeva back too!?" She asked.

"I don't know. He's at the hospital!" He exclaimed, rushing to the hospital. They ran up the stairs to his room, and nearly threw the door open.

"Sheeva, Kankuro!" Eva burst, but then frowned.

"Hey, kids… She… she's still there. I-I'm sorry… I tried, but they kicked my ass…oh, god, Sheeva!" He began to weep, rolling onto his side and crying into the pillow.

"No. No…" Kiba muttered. Eva gasped and turned around, furious.

"How long? How long are we gonna sit around and wait until she's—

--I'm calling Shibi. He'll be able to do something… I hope." Kiba growled, rushing out of the room and to the nearest phone. Eva walked to Kankuro and patted his shoulder.

"She's gonna be okay. She's a strong girl. We all know that." She muttered, more to herself than to him. She sighed and stared at the setting sun. Three weeks had passed already, and she worried that it might turn to three months, or even be too late.
