Disclaimer: I don't own shiz!


"I guess the others went ahead." Shikamaru said. "We're out of there but we need to catch up to Sasuke, good job Meya." He smiled at me.

"They're nowhere to be seen." Neji observed.

"Great, and just when I was thinking we caught up to them." He frowned.

It was dead silence until the sound Nin started clapping. "Not bad getting out of there for a little shorty," He said. I growled at him when I felt Kiba's hand on my shoulder telling me to calm down. I nodded at him and kept looking forward. "and a bunch of losers." He finished.

I heard Kiba and Naruto growl and run towards the giant. Kiba used his Tunneling Fang but did nothing. I thought Naruto Shadow Clones would do something but the ninja had too much strength. "I'll beat you guys in a second." HE sneered.

"Try me!" The idiot Kiba called out. He growled and ran towards Kiba and attacked him with his shoulder and sent him flying.

"That was nothing, who else wants to fight me?" He yelled out.

"Everyone, be careful, he's just getting warmed up." Shikamaru called out.

I got up and got in a fighting position. "Earth Dome Prison!" He called out. No way was he going to get me in that stupid dome again. I ran and did a couple of hand signs, jumped in the air and pressed a button on my skateboard. It released Kunai from the bottom and I yelled out, "Tunneling Board!"

I tunneled toward the ground to release a cloud of smoke. I turned around to everyone and gave them the signal to run and hide. As the cloud of smoke got bigger I ran to find the rest of them.

"Good job Meya." Kiba said.

"We're running out of time." Shikamaru started. "There's really no other option, we have to part ways."

"He's right, without our chakra even with all five of us; he won't be easy to take out." Neji explained, keeping a lookout. "Also, the more time we waste, the faster we're going to loose Sasuke."

I gasped, 'Sasuke…'

"You'll lead the second team, okay Neji?" Shikamaru asked. Neji nodded and all of the sudden we hear some sort of earthquake. The tree next to us collapsed and we ran. "So you were hiding like little cowards." He laughed.

"Neji, take Kiba and Meya and get out of here, Naruto and I will take care of him." Shikamaru said.

'Shikamaru, no, you can't do this.' I thought sadly. 'It's all because I'm too stupid to help with anything here…'

"What're going to do? Play with my shadow?" The Fatty remarked. "Don't waste my time, let me take on someone better."

As Shikamaru tried capturing him with the Shawdow Jutsu, the sound nin struck the ground again. Once the dirt cleared up we noticed he disappeared. We stayed on our guards.

"Behind us!" Kiba yelled out. We all turned around and saw him pick up a boulder the size of the Hokage's building.

"What the…" I yelled out. "Everyone run!"

When the boulder landed the ground was shaking again. "Everyone! Be careful-" Shikamaru didn't ge tot finish. A hand came from underground and grabbed him. The ninja popped out, holding Shikamaru upside-down.

"Shika!" I cried out.

"Look everyone, you have an idiot for a leader!" We all growled at his statement but none of us dared to move. I became angrier with this man by the second, how could he ay that about Shikamaru? The man flung Shikamaru towards and a tree and I ran to catch him. Shikamaru landed on me with a thub but he was okay.

"Thanks Meya." He said recovering himself.

"Do you guys really want to keep following this idiot here?"

I growled and made my hands into fists. "Shut up!" I screamed out. Everyone turned to look at me. "No one insults my best friend like that, this guy is mine." I said under breath, but loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Meya…" Shikamaru whispered.

"You can't take him out alone! You're too small for this Meya!" Naruto called out.

"I can do this… trust me." I smiled.

"I'll be fine, here, take this food for everyone." I gave Shikamaru a small pouch.

"Meya, I don't know about this, but I trust you. Just promise me one thing," His gazed turned to his feet and looked sad. ", please, don't die on me. You're my closest friend, it'd be troublesome to make a funeral for you." He smiled.

"I won't Shika, just trust me. I won't leave you." I smiled and gave him a signal to go.

"This is enough! I'll take out all out right here!" He called out and ran towards me.

I took out two small pills in a glass container. A black one and a white one, I took out the white one and immediately, chakra started flowing around me. They all gave me one last look and jumped into the trees. As the sound nin kept running towards me his body slammed into mine. The white pills gave me strength and preparation to take the black pill, but I'm only going to take it if the situation gets bad.

As his ear was close to my mouth I whispered, "You're dead." I pushed him off with difficulty and flung him in a different direction.

"I won't let you down Shikamaru." I whispered.
