As we hopped into the trees I couldn't help to think about what was going to happen from here on out. I was worried, I had to admit it, not for myself but for Sasuke, what they were doing to him.
"Have you found anything yet?" Shikamaru yelled out.
"Nothing." Neji replied.
I heard the small whimper of Akamaru as Kiba said his name.
"What happened?" I said.
"He smells blood, somewhere close." Kiba called out. 'Oh, Sasuke' I thought.
"Let's hurry." Shikamaru said.
"Hai." We all replied as we quickened our pace.
Kiba smelled out the place and explained, "The scent of two others and Sasuke's group came together, but the other two scents stayed behind while Sasuke's group kept going." He paused. "What are we going to do now?"
"Sasuke isn't alone, just what I thought."Shikamaru stated.
"We have to keep going!" Naruto called out.
"You're not the leader Naruto!" Kiba replied. "It's Shikamaru's choice on what to do."
"Well Shika?" I asked.
"Let's go towards the scent of the blood, we might be able to get more information on Sasuke's whereabouts." Shikamaru answered. "We have to be quiet when entering the area, it could be a trap."
"If we take our time Sasuke could've already cross the border and be out of our reach." I pointed out.
I don't think even Shikamaru could come up with a plan. I was already confused on what to do. What could be more important? He sighed and said, "Let's follow Sasuke."
"Good choice Shikamaru." I replied.
"One thing, these other people have already gone through a battle and are going to be on their guard so they might attack. We might hit ambushes and booby traps ahead. I want everybody to put their senses on full alert; I want us to find them before we find them."
Akamaru started whimpering again. "The enemy!" I heard Kiba call out. "It's all around us!"
"Stop!" Shikamaru called out.
As we landed on the nearest tree we were on high alert. 'I'm not going to die, not today.'
"Look at that." Shikamaru pointed out. "A paper bomb."
"I'm sure there are five more of them, it's a perimeter area." Neji said.
"What's that?" I asked.
"It's a ninjutsu, when the ninja gets to the center of the perimeter, the bombs go off and kill them immediately."
I gulped as a sweat drop dribbled doing my forehead. This is going to be tough. They're smart, and they previously planned everything out.
"Great, now we have to waste time going around it, right?" Kiba said.
"No, just look out on the floor, these guys are moving faster than before and getting sloppy with their booby traps." As we landed on the ground we were taking each little step with caution.
"Meya, you're the clumsiest one out of all fo us so be careful or you'll blow us all up." Kiba said.
"Don't worry about me, I have a good eye." I smiled.
"Meya, stop!" I heard Shikamaru call out. I couldn't move, was I scared? No, not really.
"I have her with my Shadow Possession Jutsu, don't worry."
I could finally see what I was going to step on. I gasped nervously and smiled at everyone.
"Didn't I tell you to watch your step!" Kiba scolded.
I scoffed, "…baka." I said under my breath.
"What was that?!" He yelled.
"Nothing, nothing at all!" I laughed wearily.
"They've made a trap within a trap, they're getting better, probably one of them is resting or injured." Shikamaru pondered.
"I'll find out, Byakugan!" Neji called out. "I see them!"
We all gasped and instantly got in fighting position. "We have to make a plan and then dive in and take them out."
"Hai!" We called out enthusiastically.
Shikamaru took a while explaining to everybody what to do. "Split up! You all know what to do."
"Yes." I whispered and stood up. As we walked we hid behind bushed and observed them. I saw one of them throw a bomb toward Neji and Shikamaru.
"Damn it, they've been caught." I whispered. I looked to my hand, it was caught in a spider web. "Ew, I hate spiders." I tried pulling away but something suddenly pulled me harder. I was pulled toards the ground. Kiba was quick to act fast and thre smoke bombs at them. A mist of purple smoke emitted from them and I landed on the ground softly.
"I've caught you already with my spider web, they're tougher than you think." One of the sound nins said. He was creepy looking with about 6 arms.
"Shadow Possession Jutsu." I heard Shikamaru whisper.
"Hey! What's happening?!" The sound nin called out.
"We got them now!" The loudmouth Naruto called out. I didn't notice Shikamaru got all of them. For a lazy ninja, he was also the smartest ninja in all of Konoha, I was proud.
The ground started shaking, "What is this?!" Shikamaru called out.
The bigger sound ninja called out "Earth Style Barrier: Earth Dome prison!"
The ground suddenly turned into a cave around us, sealing us in.
"What is this?" I called out.
"A barrier of some kind and we're stuck inside it." Shikamaru explained.
"Now what?" Kiba gritted through his teeth. "How are we going to get out, this looks pretty tough."
Everyone sighed as we tried to figure out a way out of this. "Let us out right now!" Naruto yelled.
"Like, they're going to listen to us Naruto." I scoffed.
"We should watch our step in this dome, it could be another trap."
Kiba scoffed trying to act all macho, "It's just a wall, I bet I can take it down easily. There's no wall I can't punch a hole through."
"Oh yeah macho man, let me see how it's done." I said.
He got on the ground and did a hand sign and then called out "Tunneling Fang!" He spun through the air and drilled into the wall with their fists and his head. The dust was getting everywhere and everyone took cover.
I managed to make a dent in the wall but it started growing back the same wall that was just lost, like it was healing itself.
"It's not just a dirt wall," Neji said, "Byakugan."
After a moment a silence he yelled out, "The wall… it's taking our chakra!" He exclaimed.
"No way." I gasped.
"Let us out of here!" Naruto kept yelling, he was starting to get annoying. The more time we were taking the weaker we were becoming. After a few minutes everyone was already sitting down, panting.
"That's it! I'm busting out of here before all my chakra is gone, Akamaru, here, eat a food pill." He gave his dog a pill while taking one himself. As soon as the puppy ate it, we turned a disgusting color of brown and red and roared.
"Okay, Ninja Art : Human Mimicry, and for me, Ninja Art: Beast Mimicry." He closed his eyes and when they opened he had a wild fierce look on his face. The two gave each other a high five and he yelled out, "Fang over Fang!" The two spun and hit the wall like a drill. They bounced off the wall and each it many other times.
"Go Kiba!" Naruto yelled out.
As soon as they stopped the wall immediately started repairing itself once again. Shikamaru was wrapping some cloth around his wrists, he looked like he was coming up with something. He looked on to the walls and the ground and observed how it repaired itself.
"Anyone out there! I have a deal for you. What if you let us out of this thing, and in return we let our keep Sasuke." He said.
"What?! Shikamaru, you can't do that!" I yelled as he put a hand over my mouth.
"I've never let anyone go, and I'm not starting now." The ninja on the outside said.
"C'mon! How about you just let me go and keep the rest of them!" Has Shikamaru gone mad? How can he do this to us? "I'm tired of all this fighting it's very troublesome."
"How can you do this to us you little…" Kiba yelled out angrily.
"Shut up, Kiba, for once in your life."
"What did you say?!" He yelled louder. Naruto and I had to hold him back. The sound Nin was laughing outside. "What a fine leader you are." He laughed even more.
How could Shikamaru do this, after saying all those things before we even went on this mission?
"That's it Shikamaru, you traitor, I'm going to fight you!" Naruto yelled.
"That's enough! Can everybody just shut the hell up?" I yelled.
"Meya?" Naruto said surprised.
I bent down and made sure my skateboard was good to go.
"Is that you ever do? Just make sure you precious skateboard has no scuffs on it?" Naruto yelled out. He was getting me mad. "I'm going to actually do something and use my shadow clones!"
"This wall is made out of chakra; your clones will do nothing but harm yourself." Neji stated. "Taijutsu would help."
"Meya is the strongest in taijutsu but look at her; she's too busy with her skateboard."
Shikamaru opened his eyes and directed Neji to use his eyes behind him and myself.
"Don't you talk you little traitor." Naruto yelled out.
"Just remember what Shikamaru said before this mission! That we're together as a team."
Shikamaru ignored everyone and directed Kiba to put another hole behind me. "Tunneling Fang!" He yelled out and spun at the wall behind me. Neji found the blind spot of the wall and marked it.
"Meya, are you ready?"
"Yup!" I called out.
"Let's get started." Shikamaru smirked.
"Alright!" I called out and did a few quick hand signs. I grabbed two Kunai in my hands and got on my skateboard. I jumped in the air with my skateboard and spun quickly. I pressed a button on the back on my skateboard and it released many kunai on the blind spot. Once it got thinned down, I pressed another button which release Kunai attacked to my Skateboard and spun towards the wall.
"Drilling Board Jutsu!" I called out drilling through the wall. I yelled out as I hot the outside suddenly. I hit a wall and immediately bounced off to meet my teammates.
"That was pretty awesome Meya." Shikamaru smiled at me.
I smiled back. "We're getting closer to you Sasuke." I kept my smile.
"I promise!"
Whoa, epic. It took me a while to write this because I had to do it according to the episode.
