Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, but this story is my own

Author/Editor's Notes: I've been playing around this unique idea dealing with the cosmos for a while. (I'm pretty sure this is an original idea being introduce to Naruto, if not forgive me XP) Although I'm not sure if people are entirely following my story or not. I recently read one of the reviews and it requested for a clarification. Of course I'll let my story handle the explanations i hope my writing ability is up to you reader's expectation.

Chapter 13: Ino's Secret Technique

Ino had told Shikamaru that she wanted to try something new on him. "Alright are you ready Shikamaru?" Ino smiled "ready or not here I go!" Ino raised both her palm towards Shikamaru. As she closed her eyes the image of the star reappeared on her forehead. "With the power granted within me, I call upon the sacred power of the stars, open forth and reveal a new power. Div…" Ino's concentration was quickly cut short by someone's grunt. "One word of advice, if you're going to use any skills come up with shorter names!" She whirled around and saw a figure standing on top of the fence. Shikamaru looked up, "oh…god…don't you people ever get tired?" Shikamaru thought.

There stood Kin, underneath the moonlight. "You really wanna try something out, I got something for yeah." She reached into her side and pulled out a kunai. "But seriously Ino, it's not like I have anything you but seeing you with Shikamaru just makes me sick." Ino watched Kin's hand and prepared her to defend herself. "Die Ino," Kin shouted as she hurled the kunai at Ino's face." Ino took a quick glance, but she stumbled back when she saw the kunai split into three. Ino raised her hand and pulled out a kunai hidden in her hair. As she blocked the first one the other two went off course and flew at Shikamaru's right side. Ino turned around "SHIKA" she screamed. "YOU PEOPLE SHUT UP" a mysterious voice came out of no where. Shikamaru continue to stare at Kin. "God you are annoying," he reached his hands out and caught the two kunais without looking. "Ino if you want a target to practice on well then, there you go," he pointed at Kin "I'll be inside making some ice tea…you want anything?" Shikamaru smirked. "WHAT? Don't you dare think she already won," Kin shouted.

"Thanks Shika, you already stalled her long enough," Ino smiled as she turned her palm in Kin's direction. Kin gasped as she looked down at her feet, the shadows surrounded her body and began to hold her down. "With the power granted within me, I call upon the sacred power of the stars, open forth and reveal a new power. Div" Ino was again interrupted by a kunai spearing into her left arm. As Ino screamed in pain a second figure appeared. "Sakura…you" Ino looked up as she held onto her wound. "Man, Kin you almost got hit, if anything happened Shino would go berserk." Sakura placed her hands on Kin's chest, a bright light shone for a few seconds then all the shadows disperse. "TURN THAT DOWN NOW!" the mysterious voice came again.

Inside Shikamaru waited patiently for Ino's tea to finish boiling. A few moments later he grabbed a cup poured in the hot water, shoved in a tea bag and grabbed his can of Ice tea. He ran out holding with both drinks in his hands. "Ino," Shikamaru ran up beside her "here Ino, have some tea." Shikamaru looked up at Sakura. "Stars existed everywhere and at anytime in the sky. The number of stars are countless, by which I mean Ino's potential is also endless. Don't think you have beaten Ino just yet Sakura." Shikamaru chugged down the rest of his can of Ice tea. "If you're so good, try and block this." He hurled the can at Sakura's face. Sakura quickly slapped the can away with her hands, but Shikamaru appeared behind them. "Been a while since I last use this but oh well," He smacked his hands on both of the girls back. "Don't worry, both of you aren't even my type," Shikamaru smiled as his hands glowed. Kin and Sakura were shot high into the sky as their back went into flames.

Ino looked up, "here's my chance." She clapped her hands together, "alright I guess I'll have to do it the other way around this time." Kin noticed Ino had gotten up. She quickly threw a shuriken at Ino. "With the power granted within me, I call upon the sacred power of the stars, open forth and reveal a new power. Divine Wings" Ino chanted. Angelic like wings shot out of her back and deflected the shuriken. Sakura's eye widen, "when did she get so strong!" "Divine Wings of the stars, scatter and summon forth a power stronger than the sun and the moon," Ino continued to chant. The feather shot out from the wings, and flew upwards into the sky, "now feathers of stars, let an endless star fall rain on my enemies." Ino shouted. The feather turned to face Sakura and Kin. They glowed for a quick second then flew at the girls. Shikamaru looked up, as he watched the feathers continuously cut at the two girls then he thought for a moment if Ino was planning to test this on him.

A third shadow shot up from the ground into the sky. "What's Rock Lee doing here?" Ino thought. Rock Lee quickly knocked away Ino's feathers. They disperse and reformed into wings behind Ino. "Oh Lee, thanks for saving us," Sakura hugged on to Rock Lee. "Well uh Sakura, if Sasuke found out about this…it won't be good for either of us right?" "Oh right," Sakura let go and pointed her bloody finger at Ino. "you're are going to pay" Sakura shouted. "GOD YOU KEEP IT DOWN GIRL OR I'LL COME OVER THERE AND MAKE YOU SHUT UP!" The mysterious voice came again.

Sakura turned around, but saw no one so she continued to ready her assault. "I've felt your attack," she licked the blood from her mouth, "now here's mine." Sakura had a glowing aura in bright blue color. "Moonlight Raid!" Sakura shouted as she disappeared. Ino kicked as she turned around but Sakura grabbed onto her leg. "Nice try, Ino but you can't stop me now." Ino struggled as hard as she could but couldn't break lose of Sakura's grip. "Bye Ino," Sakura shouted fist glowed and flew at Ino's chest. A whirlwind picked up and ran over Sakura. Ino fell backwards and stared up. She looked at a boy with his hood on and a little puppy beside him. "I told you to shut up girl, now I'm going to have to make you. Getsuga!" The attack sent Sakura flying into Kin and Rock Lee. A second whirlwind picked up and launched all three far into the sky.

The wind died down and the figure held out his hands. He pulled Ino up off the ground. Shikamaru walked out of the shadows, "Yo, Kiba what's up" he greeted the boy while throwing him a can. "Nice, Ice tea man I love this stuff, helps me sleep. Hey Shikamaru take better care of her alright?" "No problem, we'll try not to disturb you next time." Shikamaru and Kiba clapped each other hands. Ino smiled happily at the two. The cheerful moment only lasted a few seconds until Inofelt her eyes growing heavy, she struggleto keep them open but in the end she felt exhaustedthen she collapsed. Shikamaru and Kiba quickly turned around to see her screaming in pain. "There must have been poison in that girl's kunai." "We better get her some help fast, I'll go a head and have a talk with Tsunade about this. You take her to the medical center alright?"

"Gotcha, and Kiba"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks man"

"No problem," Kiba smiled and gave a thumbs up.
