Shikimaru knew something was awry when he saw his shadow in the midst of his dark bedroom. The shadow lacked proper form as it twisted and turned. It's movement was reminiscent to something akin to stories children are told about demons.
The head of the shadow with a quick and sudden jerk, it appeared as if the shadow was glaring at it's user. In the once quiet room, a raspy voice made itself known, "It's your turn to be the shadow. To be the follower." For once, the Nara didn't use the shadows; the shadows used him.
The end.
In Cloud, you use the shadows. But in mother Konoha, the shadows use you.
