Ch.3

Preparations

Later that day.

Slowly walking down the street Shikari ponders to her self about if she should go and see her uncle. Not surprisingly enough walking with her eyes on the ground caused her to run into someone.

"Ow. I'm sorry," she quickly apologize not wanting to cause any trouble. She looked up to see that it was the very person she was trying to decide if she would go see, her uncle Shika. "Uncle Shika, "she screamed while hugging him after she realized who it was.

"Hey!" he exclaimed trying to keep from falling with the force of the attacking girl.

"Why didn't you meet where I told you to?"

"Because I thought you were dead until you viciuosly attacked me," he said pushing the excited girl off of him self.

"Dead? Why would I be dead? You don't have faith in my ability, do you? You're a depression enabler!" she exclaimed throwing her self to the ground and hugging her knees in fake anguish.

"Stop acting like a four year old," Shika said.

She slowly lifted her head and showed that she now had sad puppy eyes and yelled, "Your so mean Uncle Shika!" Shikari then looked around and noticed everyone was starring at them. Realizing this she yelled, " there's nothing to see here people! Uncle Shika, can I stay at your house while I'm fixing mine that has all the bad problems?"

"Ummm. Sure, Kari-chan?"

"Thank you!" Shikari screamed again, giving him the same kind of hug that almost knocked him over.

"Lets go then."

As they were walking Shikari told her uncle " Tsunade-sama has a mission to the hidden sand that I'm going on in three days. I have to prep for it. I might be gone for a month, but after I come back I'll start fixing my house. Kay?"

"Yeah," Shika commented as they walked to the front door of his house.

"Shika, your late!"

"Sorry. I ran into a road block named Shikari."

"Hello auntie,"Shikari said poking her head from behind her uncle's left arm.

"But you were . . . "

"Doesn't anyone have faith in me? Hey where's Shikamaru? I want to say hello to him too."

"He's on a mission with his team. He should be back soon though. Lets find you a place to sleep," Shika said.

"Ooh. Okay! I think I'll go for a walk after I organize my things. And don't worry I'll come back this time."

"Why do you want to go for a walk now?" Shika asked puzzled, for it was almost dinner time.

"I'll get the door Uncle Shika."

"But no one is..."

"Knock. Knock"

"I envy her, don't you Shika?"

"Since the day she was born. I mean, who learns things that quickly. And her senses."

Meanwhile at the front door

"You're Shikari, right?"

"Yes."

"Tsunade-sama sent me to tell she wants to talk to you."

"Okay."

"Okay. Bye."

"Uncle Shika! I'm going to talk to Tsunade-sama!" Shikari yelled pulling her hair into a bun."

"Okay. Hurry up though. Dinner is almost ready."

"I'll try to hurry, so don't worry. Bye."

Tsunade's office

"Knock. Knock."

"Come in."

"Someone said that you wanted to talk to me."

"Yes I did. It's about what you said to me earlier. I know you lied."

"Sorry about that."

"It's okay. I don't want you to tell anyone that doesn't already know. I also wanted to know what happened to for that to happen."

Thirty minuets later

"That's pretty much all I have to tell you. I should get back to my uncle's house. Bye," Shikari said getting up and walking to the door.

Meanwhile in the hall outside Tsunade's office

"I've been using my nose all day and finally I have tracked Shikari down to the last place I saw her. The Hokage's office," Tsume said.

"Mom why are you so insistent on me meeting this Shikari girl?" asked Kiba.

"Because I want grandchildren ."

"What?" At the moment Kiba said that, Shikari stepped out of Tsunade's office. As soon as Tsume saw her she tackled her.

"Get off me Tsume-sensei!"Shikari yelled as Tsume got her in a headlock.

"See. Isn't she pretty?" Tsume asked

"I said get off me!"Shikari yelled trying to get free from Tsume's headlock and succeeding in not only that, but catching Tsume in a headlock too.

"Hey Shikari. Look what I have,"Tsume said holding up a jar of red face paint. "It's a gift."

"Do you really think I'm gonna' use that?"

"You will if I make you."

"Oh God,"Shikari said running out of the building as fast as she could.
