Chapter 8: Michiko has changed

"How is Shikamaru?" Chiko asked coming into the room.

"He's doing alright," Sasuke said.

"So did you find her?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah," Chiko said gravly.

"What happened?" Sasuke asked.

"She's what?" Sasuke asked in a hushed voice.

"That is what she told me and by her size it's true," Chiko confermed.

"Did you tell her?" Sasuke asked.

"No."

"Why?"

Chiko looked at Shikamaru sleeping.

"You want him to tell her huh?" Sasuke asked looking at him.

"Yes. I think that is the only way," Chiko said looking at Sasuke.

"I think so to. But by the way you said that Michiko lost her powers don't you think that she would lose it when she hears this from him?" Sasuke asked.

"I doubt that she would hurt him. It's Temari who should watch out. I told Temari to stay away from her so she wouldn't get hurt," Chiko said.

"I see. Should we tell the Hokage to wake him up?" Sasuke asked.

"I don't know," Chiko said looking at Shikamaru.

They heard a crash in the window and stood up and looked around with there kunai's in their hands.

"Who's there?" Chiko asked.

No one answered. Then they were hit and fell to the ground. Shikamaru was sleeping and didn't flinch with all of the noise.

"Sis?" Yuki asked knocking on Michiko's door.

She didn't answer.

"Hey sis I got you your faviorite ice-cream," Yuki said openeing the door.

No one was in the room. He saw a note on the bed and dropped the bowl.

Michiko was walking down to the gates to leave the Leaf Village. She looked down at her feet as she walked toward the gates.

"Hey what are you doing over here. You not supose to be on fa mission," said on of the gaurds of the gate.

Michiko looked up and her eyes were white. The gaurd was scared. He was flown to the side like it was a powerful wind. Michiko put her head down and walked out of The leaf village.

"Goodbye Shikamaru," Michiko whispered to the wind.

Shikamaru slowly opened his eyes and saw that it was dark. He looked around and he could barely see anything.

He stood up and felt that he was on a soft bed.

Where am I? Shikamaru thought.

"I see that your awake," said a familiar voice.

Shikamaru looked and saw a blue fire start up. He saw Michiko's father.

"What do you want with me?" Shikamaru asked.

Michiko's father didnt' answer. He walked up to him and gave him the bag.

"What is this?" Shikamaru asked.

"It's something that you will need. I am sending you on a secret mission," Michiko's father said sitting next to Shikamaru.

"A secret mission?" Shikamaru asked.

"Yes. Michiko ran away and she isn't in control of her body since what happened today. I want you to find her before she goes to the Godesses island," Michiko's father explained.

"Godesses island?" Shikamaru asked.

"Yes. Inside the bag will help you but, use it only when she won't listen to you. I didn't want to tell the Hokage because I thought that it was to much of a risk and we can't have that kind of risk. Plus the Akasuki will find out and that would be even worse."

"So you want me to find Michiko and bring her back?" Shikamaru asked.

"Yes. I only want you though. It will be a lot easier to find her," Michiko's father explained.

"No."

"What?"

"I think I will bring three more people. They can ensure that your daughter is brought back. Besides I will need there strength," Shikamaru said getting out of his bed.

"Alright but it will only be two more people," Michiko's father said.

"Fine."

"What Michiko ran away?" Chiko said shocked to hear the news.

"You want us to help you," Sasuke said sitting next to Chiko.

"Yes," Shikamaru said getting his things ready.

As soon as Shikamaru left the twin clan manor he went straight to Chiko and Sasuke. Shikamaru new that Chiko would be the best person to help and with Sasuke's skills the mission would be even eaiser.

"So are you guys going to help?" Shikamaru said turning to them.

"Of course but, I wouldn't know where to start. We don't even know where this Goddess island is," Chiko said.

"Well we should sart looking," Sasuke said standing up.

"Thanks you guys," Shikamaru said.

"Oh, and you had better tell her what Temari told you," Chiko said her back to him.

Shikmaru didn't say anything. They went off looking for Michiko.

Michiko please don't go to far, Shikamaru said to himself.

Michiko was in the forest leaning on a tree looking up at the sky her eyes were still white.

"Mother," she whispered in a little girl tone.
