This chapter is in Shikamaru's point of view. Just to let everyone know!
As we left I couldn't stop thinking about Meya, I was worried, it was troublesome. I held the small pouch in my hand and observed it. I opened it up and there were grapes, strawberries and a little package of food pills. I took the pills out and passed it around.
"Shikamaru, what was that pill Meya was taking back there?" Neji asked.
I sighed, 'I knew I would have to explain this, what a drag.' "It's pills from her clan that prospered long ago. She has a Jutsu that can kill her but she's been training for all her life, a Jutsu only passed down to certain people in her clan. Her mother had it and that's how she died also. When she takes the white pill, it's too warm up for the black pill; it gives her incredible strength and endurance. Also, with the pill comes consequences but she can handle it. "
"What is her Jutsu?" He asked again.
I sighed of being tired of talking. "When she takes the black pill, she uses her All Seeing Eye Jutsu to see if her comrades are anywhere nearby, if they she seals them in a soundproof glass box, once that's done she seals the opponents feet to the ground and she builds up the chakra in her lungs and screams so loud that is kills the opponent.
"The side effects are deadly, she could pop her own eardrums, cause serious damage to her throat or puncture a lung which many times lead to death, that's why she carried glass tubes incase if that happens. She would puncture herself to let the air out. She can also stop her heart but that's rare."
Everyone stared at me quietly as I finished my explanation, they were all obviously worried.
'I hope she can do it alone with just one pill, I can't have her die on me. Please catch up soon Meya' I thought.
It was silent again before the dog started whimpering.
"What's wrong Akamaru?" Kiba asked. He listened to his whimper and explained, "Akamaru can tell an enemy's power by its scent, he's worried for Meya's life, I don't think Meya can do it alone either."
"She really has no chance of winning." Neji said.
"You're wrong, I know Meya better than anyone. She's stronger than anyone, she can do this but she has a low self esteemed and she thinks that's she's stupid."
"Well she is anyone can see that, that's why she sacrificed herself to fight him because she wanted to be useful." Kiba said.
Chuckling I said, "Just as I though, everyone thinks that way about her, I know her she's stronger than all of you, I believe in her." I smiled.
A few more trees later and I decided to make a note for Meya. I wrote on the tree and drew an arrow under it.
"Let me write something too!" Naruto and Kiba called out.
"It's for her when she catches up, she'll know where to go." I said. "Let's go." I said as I finished the note. We ran for about 5 more minutes and I stopped to make another arrow telling Meya were to go.
"Please Meya, don't die." I whispered. "Let's go. We're losing time."
"Hai." They all said as we continued running.
'We've always been with each other, almost every day since we met. I was there even when your mom died…'
We were both laughing, looking through smaller pictures of us when we heard a knock on the door. We were 10 at the time. She lived with her mother and Asuma while her brother lived in the Hokage's building.
"Who is it?" She called out with the big smile on her face never leaving.
"It's your grandfather, open up Meya."
"Grandpa!" She said running towards the door. As she flung it open she immediately hugged the Hokage while he patted her on the head. He looked sad and distressed."Is your uncle here?"
"Yeah Grandpa, he's in the kitchen." she pointed.
"Thanks." He whispered and walked into the kitchen.
"What was all that about?" I asked and she replied with a shrug. She walked back to the couch to pick up the album book when we heard glass shatter. We both gasped but stay put. I heard Asuma scream out, "Father, this …" and then hearing the mumble of the Hokage.
As we heard more mumbles I heard the back door slam and more glass shatter. I grabbed on to Meya's hand as we heard footsteps come towards the living room. It was her uncle with tears on his face.
"What happened Uncle Asuma?" She asked.
He kneeled down to her height and put his big hand on her small shoulder. "Meya, your Mother isn't coming back…" He said his voice breaking. "She was killed in action by other Shinobi, I'm so sorry Meya."
I couldn't believe it. I looked to Meya and saw her just standing there. Asuma was hugging her but not a tear fell out of her eye. "Let's go Shikamaru." She said to me.
We went to a pond, the walk was quiet. She started at the frogs jumping from lily pad to lily pad. I walked up behind her, "Meya…?"
She turned around and hugged my tightly crying into my shoulder. It was the first time I saw her cry. I held her tight but the tears just kept coming down. She was made fun of not having parents 'till the day we graduated.
'We've always stuck together, she can't leave me now.'
Aw! Shika cared.
Shikamaru: Shut up.
