Meanwhile back at the Hidden Shadow Alice, Kim, Cindy, Tanza, Ash, Misty, Pikachu and Brock all stood outside of the Hoshikages mansion waiting on Timothy. Alice was sitting in a chair brushing Kim's fur who was sitting in her lap while talking to Misty. Ash was sitting on the ground leaned back against the building talking to Pikachu and Brock while Tanza was talking to Cindy.
"So Cindy does Shia have a theory on who could be killing the anbu?" asked Tanza
"Well all I can say for sure is that she thinks that's it's somebody in the village." replied Cindy
"What do you mean?" asked Alice
Cindy looked at Alice, Tanza, Ash, Misty, Brock and Tanza for a few minutes, before taking a deep breath and then leaning back against the building.
"Well i'm not suppose to say anything, but i don't think Shia would mind if i told you all. Shia's been kinda suspicious about Ikaru since he first came." noted Cindy
"That's the Tsuchikage of the Hidden Sand isn't it?" asked Misty
"Yea, but it's still funny how after as many Chunin Exams as we held over the years they've never come to one one, but suddenly decide to come to this years exam." noted Cindy
"Yea...that does look suspicious." agreed Ash
Ash leaned back against the wall and started to look into the sky before getting to his feet.
"Pika...Pi." wondered Pikachu looking at Ash.
"Hay can i ask a question?" asked Misty
"What's that?" asked Tanza
"What are the Shinia Hyogi-kai?" Misty asked
"To put it simple their the leaders of the oldest clans in the village." replied Cindy
"Yea their something like the council of the village right next to Shia. When something comes up they are the first to know and usually the first to decide to whatever the talk is about." added Alice
"Hay do you guy's feel that?" asked Ash
"Feel what?" asked Brock
Everybody got to there feet and began to look around when all of a sudden they were all hit by a powerful wave of energy.
"I'd take it to say that's Timothy?" asked Cindy
"Yep that's him." nodded Alice
They all ran out in front of the mansion and began searching the sky for any sign of Timothy, but even though they could sense him they couldn't see him.
"Where is he?" asked Cindy as she continued to search the sky.
"Don't worry he's coming...he'll be here in a second." assured Alice
As they continued to search the sky they were all hit with a sudden drop in air pressure which knocked them all to the ground.
"What just happened?" asked Ash as he picked himself.
"It's Timothy." laughed Tanza
Just the there was a flash of emerald green light in front of them and when the light finally faded Timothy was standing in front of them.
"Why is everyone one on the ground?" wondered Timothy looking around.
"Chu...Pika...Pi?" wondered Kachu as he curiously popped out of Timothy's jacket.
"Mew?" wondered Nina
"Be...Bebe?" wondered Nikita
"Wouldn't you like to know." laughed Tanza as she got to her feet.
"Yea i would." nodded Timothy as he helped up Alice
"I'm glad that your finally here." replied Cindy as she got to her feet.
"So what's going on?" asked Timothy
"It would be better if Shia explained it to you." replied Cindy
"Alright then let's go." urged Timothy
They all enter the mansion and instead of taking the stairway which lead to the kage's office they went through another door which lead to a long corridor. After a few minutes of walking down the corridor they came to a stop at another door.
"Alright this is where we wait." stated Cindy
"I'll be back in a sec." nodded Timothy
Kachu nodded his head and jumped from Timothy's shoulder onto Alice's as Timothy opened the door and went in. Once in the room Timothy notice everybody gathered around the table looking at papers that were scattered on the table.
"Ah Timothy...glad you could finally join us." greeted Shia
"Yea...i came as quick as i could after Alice contacted me." nodded Timothy
"So Timothy did you find what you were looking for in Death Valley?" Lorey asked
"That and so much more, but down to business. So Shia, Lorey, April, Charles, Jennifer, Jay, Joshua and Tahira...what's this i hear about anbu being killed?" asked Timothy
"See for yourself." sighed Shia
Timothy walked up to the table and sitting on it were pictures with anbu that he guess were now dead. He looked through the group of picture until he came upon one that looked like it was taken in the living room of an old house. On the picture he noticed there were body parts scattered around the room with blood on nearly every inch of the room.
"Whatever happened in this room looks pretty bad." noted Timothy
"Your telling me...when Shia told me about it, but when i saw those pictures i started to believe it." agreed Jay
"So any clue on whats been doing this?" asked Timothy as he sat the pictures back on the table.
"Well all that was found at the scenes was this purple fur." replied Shia
Lorey handed Timothy a small bag that contained the purple fur that was found at the scenes.
"Is this all?" asked Timothy
"Yep that's all that was found." nodded Jay
Timothy took the fur from the bag and began rubbing it through his fingers before lifting it up to his nose and sniffing it.
"This fur is very fine for sure and soft to the touch." examined Timothy
"But our question is...is the fur from a pokemon, halfbreed or another animal?" asked Joshua
"Its defiantly pokemon fur and..." stopped Timothy
"What's wrong Timothy?" asked April
They looked at Timothy as he stared at the purple fur and from him they could sense his anger suddenly start rising like a boiling pot of water. Everybody looked at Timothy for a few minutes before looking at each there for a few minutes and then back at Timothy.
"Hay Timothy are you ok?" asked Charles
"Were there any survivors?" asked Timothy as he looked up from the purple fur.
"Well there was one survivor, but we don't know if she's going to survive." shrugged April
"Where is she?" Timothy asked
"She's at the hospital with Daiya." replied Shia
"I need to go see her." urged Timothy and he turned around and headed toward the door.
Everybody watched as Timothy headed toward the door still confused as to what was upsetting him. Timothy opened the door and walked on out where Ash, Pikachu, Tanza, Alice, Kim, Kachu, Nina, Nikita, Misty and Brock were waiting.
"So whats going on?" asked Alice as she walked up to him.
"Follow me...we've got an investigation to start." said Timothy
"Pika...Pi?" asked Kachu as he jumped on Timothy's shoulder.
"Why...what's wrong?" asked Tanza
"Something's big is going on." replied Timothy
They all watched as Timothy walked toward the exit of the mansion with Nina and Nikita following behind him. They all looked at each other confused as to what Timothy was thinking, before shrugging their shoulders and following him.
...
Meanwhile at the hospital within the Hidden Shadow Daiya was standing over a sink washing her hands. Daiya was a light skinned kitsune halfbreed woman with long light brown hair that had a purplish tint to it. After working for several hours straight in order to save the life of the female anbu she had finally finished. After she finished washing her hand she turned around and looked at the body of the know sleeping female shinobi.
She was a light skinned blond haired teenage looking halfbreed. As she walked up to her she brushed the the blond hair of the female ninja. For the most part the girl was harmed, but the damage done to her stomach was a different story. She had to use nearly all of her chakra just to regenerate most of her insides and then she had to use the old fashion way to patch her up on the outside.
Daiya looked down at the girls stomach where she had to sew up the girls stomach leaving a scar. After all the girl had went through after having most of her insides get cut out she still survived. Not only that, but she survived through the night with her wounds and even survived through the surgery. Now she was sleeping from the drugs that Daiya gave her and she deduced that she would be feeling better later.
"She's strong to have survived as long as she did, but i wonder what did that to her?" wondered Daiya as she sat down in a chair.
"We were wondering the same thing." said A voice
Daiya looked up and saw Timothy standing in the doorway with Kachu on his shoulder and Nina and Nikita floating above his head.
"Huh...what are you doing Timothy here?" asked Daiya surprised to see Timothy.
"I've just come to see your patient." replied Timothy
He walked on in with Alice, Kim, Tanza, Misty, Ash and Brock behind him, before looking at the girl as she laid unconscious on the table.
"So how's she's doing?" asked Timothy
"She's fine...it took all of my chakra to save her, but she'll be ok." assured Daiya
"That's good i need to speak to her." noted Timothy
"But how and she's unconscious?" asked Brock
"That's no problem." assured Timothy
"Ok just be careful...she's been traumatized enough." warned Daiya
"Sure thing." nodded Timothy
Everybody watched as Timothy turned around toward the girl and placed his hand on her forehead before closing his eye's.
