A/N Another quick update if I finish this before sleeping.
Shikamaru's POV
We were the last to leave the Orphanage. There really wasn't much that we could do late at night. Temari and I were to start searching for information. I figured we could see if there were any stores open right now that would contain evidence that there was something more to the deaths.
After searching the streets for twenty minutes we came across a store that was open. Temari entered the store first with me following her. She grabbed a newspaper flipping through it to see if she could find anything interesting. I walked past the piles of magazines and went over to the counter. "You wouldn't happen to have any old papers from earlier this week would you?"
"There are a few left."
"May I please have a copy of the ones you have then."
The boy left as Temari joined me. "There was nothing in that paper, and after a quick glance at the magazines there, nothing about anything going on in Konaha, or the Suna."
The boy came back holding a stack of papers, "These are all the old ones we have."
Temari and I each grabbed one, quickly flipping through it to see if anything about the accidents showed up. At the end of our search we had to newspapers that had articles about the accident as well as words about the deceased. I paid for the newspapers before heading back out of the store. The best way to find any more information would be the library so we would have to wait for day to come around so it would be open.
We were walking back to the orphanage when trouble came our way. Kakashi-sensei was heading down the street in our direction. I grabbed Temari and pulled her into an alley. We ran down the alley turning corners at random points. When we were sure Kakashi hadn't followed us we had a problem. We were standing in an alley, not knowing where we were.
The one problem was that Temari came from the Suna, meaning she didn't know the streets here to well. My problem was that with growing up in the Orphanage, I never left for long, went very far or even used any of the alleys. We walked out of the alley and I noticed the wall. We had reached the edge of the city.
"We need to hurry and find our way back. The Orphanage should be somewhere hear the middle. Everyone else should be returning soon and by the looks of it Kakashi might be going back soon as well."
Temari nodded as we looked up the street we were on. We began running down the street heading back towards the centre of the village. We took many different turns down random streets hoping that we were going in the right direction. The streets began to get more crowded the farther we ran, I took that as a good sign. I noticed a flash of pink ahead of us while we were running. I hated running but I picked up my pace hoping that the pink I saw was Sakura's hair.
We caught up to Sakura and Neji just as they stopped outside the gates to the Orphanage. Together we headed back to the window and started to climb back in. Back inside and safe from begin found outside I slid down to the floor. I leaned against the wall. "That was too troublesome."
"What made it so troublesome?" asked Sakura
"We nearly ran into Kakashi as we were leaving the store. We ran down a bunch of random alleyways, leading us to the wall around the city. We guessed our way back here and lucked out seeing your hair." replied Temari as she sat down next to me, "We did get some papers about the accident. Although we will need to go to the library if we want to find out a few more details with past accidents such as this one. A little more history overall."
"So your saying that we need not only more history about the accidents known to us, but also other accidents from the past. That makes sense, it would also help if we get more information about our city's history."
This seemed like the plan to stick with. Everyone else agreed as they came in through the window. As soon as everyone was back inside we closed the window and headed upstairs to Sakura's room where we could go over all the information we found.
A/N Another chapter done. The next one will be long again. Tune in to find out what everyone found during their quick, yet lucky searches. Also, did Kakashi see Temari and Shikamaru or did they luck out?? Look for more updates to find out.
Please review :)
