Chapter 13: Finally a cores

Shikamaru hadn't thought about what was driving him mad until know. He thought about how he lost it when he found out that Temari was pregnant and how he almost killed someone when Michiko left.

"So what have you desided?" Chiko asked.

Shikamaru turned toward them. "I'm going to be my oldself. So you guys had better work your butts off."

"Finally he's back," Sasuke comented.

Chiko smiled at Sasuke and walked toward Shikamaru to plan what they were going to do.

"Right know we know where we have to go but the question is where it is?" Shikamaru explained.

"I can help," they heard a voice say.

They all went into defesive positions and turned to where the voice was. A women came out and it was Temari.

"We shouldn't trust her," Chiko whispered to Shikamaru.

Shikamaru wasn't paying attention to Chiko. His eyes went to Temari's swollen belly. Temari was only two months pregnant but her stomach looked big.

"I don't think we want a slut on our team," Sasuke stated.

"That's rich from someone who might be gay," Temari barked.

Chiko grabbed Temari's arm and pulled it behind her back and had her kunai at her throught.

"Dont' forget he is going out with me," Chiko growled. "I have every right to gut you right know but, I have to follow Shikamaru's orders. What is your verdict Shikamaru?"

Everyone stared at Shikamaru.

"Let's here what she has to say," Shikamaru said not in his normal voice.

Chiko stared at him as she let go of Temari.

"I know where the island is and I know who you will be up against," Temari said.

"How did you get that infromation?" Sasuke asked.

"It is because they came to me," Temari said looking at Shikamaru.

Chiko gave her the cold stare behind her back. She gave Shikamaru a look, We shouldn't trust her, she thought.

"Tell us what we want to know and we will be off," Shikamaru said keeping his eyes on the floor.

"I have to go there," Temari said.

"Why?" Chiko growled.

"Because my children are going to be gods," Temari smirked.

Shikamaru looked at her in shock.

"Yes my love that is why they came to me. So our children can rule this land in peace," Temari stated.

"What peace?" another voice said.

They all turned and found the demon wolf, Lilith.

"What are you talking about?" Temari asked.

"They took my child so they could ride the earth of humans," Lilith explained.

"Well they are going to make sure that people like Michiko won't destroy the world," Temair said.

Pack.

Everyone watched as Temari fell to the ground. She held her cheek as she looked at the person who smacked her.

"Don't you dare talk about Michiko like that. She's the reason you are a live," Shikamaru growled as he stood over her body.

She looked at him horrified. Temari had never seen Shikamaru act like this before.

"Tell us what you know now," Shikamaru demanded.

"I doubt she can," another voice said.

"Can we please stop having intuerruptions," Shikamaru screamed.

Lilith growled as a figure showed it's self. The figure took the shape of flowers. It was a women and Lilith knew who it was.

"It's been a long time Lilith," the flower creature said.

"Not long enough, Sarah," Lilith growled.

"Humhp. Well Shikamaru me and my sister's are willing to trade," Sarah growled.

"What kind of trade?" Shikamaru asked watching with hateful eyes.

"Bring Temari to us and we will give you Michiko unharmed," she said.

Shikamaru had a feeling that they were going to be betrayed.

"Fine," Shikamaru said.

"Good. I have a map here. Us it wisely. Oh and there's a catch if you dont' come to us in the next 48 hours that map will disappear and so will your girlfriend," Sarah warned.

She threw a scroll to Shikamaru and the flower petals that formed her fell to the ground.

"Shikamaru what are you doing?" Chiko asked standing behind him.

Shikamaru didn't answer. He opened the scroll and started to look at it. Chiko eyed him as he looked at the map. Sasuke held her hand and she looked at him. He gave her a stare that said I think he knows what he's dong.

"Are you going to come with us?" Shikamaru asked still looking at the map.

"Yes. I know more about them then you do," Lilith answered.

"Alright let's move," Shikamaru said closing the map.
