Chapter 8 – Training Begins, Shika and Ino meet again.
"Hey people, I'd like to get your attention please!" Sasuke called, getting his friends' attention. They were in a gym owned by the Uchihas, training to beat Akatsuki. His friends turned to him and his visitor.
"I'm sure you've all heard of Akatsuki before right?" Several answers were heard.
"They killed my parents!" – TenTen, a gun expert replied angrily.
"They took my cousin away from us…" – Hinata, an heiress to another large company, shyly but sadly said.
"I have heard that they are very unyouthful!" – (guess who that was…), a martial arts specialist
"This is a drag. They took two of my best friends, and my happiness as well." – Shikamaru, the genius
"One of them almost raped me!" – Sakura, a young doctor, said.
"I know that they've all done us wrong, and we want revenge. I finally found someone who is willing to help us. She is a forced member, the organization killed her parents and took her and her brother hostage. Please don't judge her, she had no choice." Sasuke ended. Eyes turned expectantly toward Ino, and she revealed her face under her hood.
"Hello…" Her eyes landed on Shikamaru, and their jaws both opened in shock.
"I…I-no?" Shikamaru asked, wiping his eyes to prove that he wasn't dreaming.
"Shika-kun?! Omigod, it's you!" Ino quickly hugged him, almost crushing him.
"-gasp- Ino –choke- can't breathe!" When he was released, all he said was, "Troublesome woman. Still loud as ever." Ino rolled her eyes. Typical Shika.
Seeing that Sasuke was getting impatient, she proceeded to discuss everything about the organization, their forced members, weapons that would work on them, and they proceeded to train.
They struggled at first, but progressed.
Two months later
Tenten was now a total threat with her guns and daggers, Hinata was a stealth machine, Lee was a giant pain in the rear with his superior martial arts skills, Shikamaru was an expert hacker, Sakura was a formidable opponent to a heavyweight boxer, and Sasuke a silent killer.
When everyone else was training, Ino and Shikamaru were catching up.
"So how's Naruto huh? Troublesome as ever?"
"Yup, though he could beat you in darts even after this kind of training!"
"Seriously?!"
"Yup, he's changed. Still as loud-mouthed as ever, but a pain in the ass during sparring sessions. How about Chouji? How is he?"
They continued talking, not seeing Sasuke's face twitch and scowl.
Lyn: Sasu-kun's jealous ne? Sorry for the short chappie, but school drains my brains!
