Chapter 9

Awaii continued running threw the forest towards The Sound Village. She had to stop again, to avoid yet another trap set by the Sound Ninjas. Awaii was beginning to get annoyed with how easily she -a Samurai- could spot these traps. She defiantly over estimated these guys.

"Are all Sound Ninja this careless and sloppy?" She asked herself, as she looked down at the trap, "Or am I just too smart"

Without any warning, Awaii felt a cold object placed up to her throat, "I don't see a headband anywhere on you" The man, with his free hand, grabbed for Awaiis daggers from her back pocket, "if your aren't a ninja, but you have two daggers…..that means you are either a really stupid person, or you're a Samurai from the small village helping Kohona, and Suna" The man removed his kunai from Awaiis neck, grabbed her shoulders, and twirled her around so she and the man were face to face.

This man had bright yellow hair, and coal black eyes. He also had a headband with a music note on it, Awaii knew that from the many men she killed that, that symbol was known for the Sound Village.

The Sound Ninja used one hand and held up Awaiis daggers, "you want these back don't you" He smiled, "You want these back so you can attempt to kill me"

Awaii was about to say something, when she felt a very familiar chakra signature. She wasn't sure if he was anywhere near, or if he already knew where she was, but she did know that she wasn't about to let this creep know anyone was around.

She glared at the Sound Ninja, "Your right, I'm a Samurai, but…" She smiled then kneed the man in his groans.

The man bent over moaning in pain, dropping Awaiis daggers, "you…" He looked back up and grabbed her by the neck, "Bitch!" He began to chock Awaii. Until he was hit in the back, let go of Awaiis neck, and dropped to the ground with a kunai sticking out of his back.

Standing behind the Sound Ninja was a guy with brown spiky hair, and red upside-down triangles on his cheeks….standing beside him was his overgrown white dog.

"I could…..of handled him" Awaii said bending down to pick up her daggers. She stood back up and looked at Kiba, "you could of-"

Awaii was interrupted by Kiba pressing his lips against hers. He then pulled away from her and smiled, "you talk too much"

Akamaru was now wagging his tail, and let out a happy bark.

Awaii smacked Kiba on the arm, "You idiot, what if the enemy saw us…they could use-"

Kiba kissed her again, "You worry to much too"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hissori and Red were mixing herbs in silence. Hissori was pretty upset at the fact that Red and Shikamaru both refused to let her go out in the battlefield….

Red stopped mixing herbs and looked at Hissori, "does anyone else know…about this?" She asked her blue haired friend.

Hissori shook her head, "I asked Shikamaru not to tell anyone, I didn't even want him to know" She also stopped mixing herbs and looked at Red with a sad look on her face.

"What's wrong Hissori, what your going threw is suppose to be something to be happy about" She and Hissori walked over and sat down on a bench, "Why do you seem so sad about it?" Red asked

Hissori looked down, "Cause I'm….well I'm not sure if I'm even ready…to….well to become a mom" She looked back up at Red, "I'm just not ready to settle down and change diapers"

Red tried not to smile, she knew that this had to be a hard time for Hissori, but she couldn't help it. The little girl she first meet at the waterfall 12 years ago was gonna have a baby.

"Hissori, your not going to be a bad mom….besides your not going threw this alone" Red said, trying to comfort her friend.

"I know that, but Shikamaru is always gone with the war going on, and when he is home, he's tired" Hissori said

Red shook her head, "That's not what I meant, yea you do have Shikamaru but" She grabbed hold of Hissoris hand, and placed it on her stomach.

Hissori felt a small bump on Reds stomach, her eyes got wide, "your…."

Red nodded, "Why do you think Gaara doesn't want me in the battle field, we've known for about a month or so" Red said, then asked, "how long have you and Shikamaru known?"

Hissori shrugged, "I think a few weeks" She wasn't completely sure, she just remembered having a very hard time reading the damn test, "Wait, why didn't you tell Awaii or me sooner?"

"think about it Hissori" Red stood back up, and continued mixing herbs, "We are at war, the time were the enemy is searching for any kind of weakness that Gaara or Lady Tsunade might have" She continued, "I cant just go around telling everyone that I'm about to have the Kazakages baby"

Hissori shivered at the thought of Gaara and Red-- She shook her head, bad thought…VERY bad thought!

Hissori stood and walked over to Red and also continued mixing herbs, "you don't think Sound would really attack you while your pregnant?" Red nodded, then Hissori asked, "You think they would try to…well kill us…just for being pregnant?"

Red nodded again, "That's one of the many reasons you and I aren't allowed to fight. Another reason is it would put stress on us….which can do damage to the baby"

Hissori rose her eye brow, "Okay, I know you are kinda a medic…but, how'd you know about all that stress stuff?" She asked looking at her red haired friend.

"Heh, well when you cant sleep, its always good to read a book" Red shrugged

The two laughed a little, then Hissori said, "I Wonder what Awaii will say when she finds out"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Awaii looked at Kiba with a serious look on her face, "Kiba, I have a feeling that the only way to stop this war is to kill whoever is leading the Sound troops so I-"

"You figured you would just walk to Sound, tell them who you are, and they would welcome you into there village, just so you can kill there leader?" Kiba interrupted Awaii again, he looked worried for Awaii, "I'm glad you want to stop this war, and trust me, I want it to end but Awaii, you don't know what Orochimaru can do, you've never even seen the guy"

"Kiba if this war last much longer, I could lose my best friends" She looked down, then back up holding Kibas hand, "I could lose you"

"What about us….we could just as easily lose you….how do you think your friends Red and Hissori would feel once they heard that you were dead" He hugged her, "you have to hold back I know that's hard, but if you don't then everything you and your friends sacrificed would have been for nothing if you died"

Awaii looked back down, "I never thought about that….all I've been worried about is stopping this war, no matter what would happen to me"

"Lets head back, and kick some Sound Ninjas ass!" he smiled at her

She sighed, she had gotten so close-wait…she looked up and around, "Kiba, if we are so close to Sound…why haven't we gotten more resistance from them?"

"Heh, well I guess we finally get to fight" A mans voice called out from a tree.

"yea, but its only a Samurai and a Mut" A woman's voice scoffed

"they still made it past our traps, they gotta be a little strong" A different males voice sighed.

Awaii and Kiba looked around, now back to back. Awaii with her Katanas ready, and Kiba with Akamaru ready.

"So you guys put up those pathetic traps….you should be ashamed of yourselves" Awaii shouted, trying to provoke the Sound Ninja. She wanted to see who she was up against

The Sound woman began to laugh, "You think our traps are pathetic" The woman jumped down, showing herself.

She was wearing a shirt that practically covered nothing, and a short skirt, both black with a purple strip going down them, he hair a pink color, and her eyes blue. She had her headband around her neck….she was defiantly from Sound.

Awaii smiled, she was glad at least one of the Ninja feel for her trap, she also frowned seeing that it was the Female Ninja, "Well, you don't look too strong"

The sound woman smiled, "you sure about that" The woman then walked up to Awaii, standing right in front of her, "Because I could say the same about you"

Kiba was about to jump between Awaii and the Sound woman, but was stopped by the other two Sound Ninja, both looked identical, black hair, purple eyes, and pale white skin….if Kiba didn't know any better he would think that these two guys were clones of Orochimaru…..

"You should leave them alone….we are your oponite" both guys said at the same time.

Kiba glared, then looked back at Awaii, he didn't want her to fight that girl, there was something about her that made him feel very uneasy… 'be careful Awaii…hold on long enough for me to kick these guys asses'

-End of Chapter, okay, so next chapter is gonna be a fight….yea…I just love doing fight scenes….anyways, sorry if this chapter sucked…tell me what you think, and yes both Hissori and Red are pregnant…deal with it-
