Chapter 8: The Curse....

"Ugh!! I can't get this stupid necklace off!!!"Ino shouted in frustrtation. The stupid necklace had shocked her 2 times already, and not by static electricity. It was a full out shock like ninjas do to stun their opponents. but thanks to her demon chakra, she wasn't stunned.

"What's with the shouting?"Konan asked, as she came into the kitchen and saw Ino struggling and heard her shout.

"I can't get this necklace off!"Ino said.

"Let me see."Konan asked, so Ino turned around so Konan could unclasp it. but it wouldn't budge,"It's not coming off...."

"Coz it's cursed!"Silence said, running into the room with a book on his back.

"What!? That lady gave me a cursed necklace!!! What's the countercurse?"Ino asked. Silence dropped the book and flipped through it until he stopped on a page.

"A priestess must willingly bless it. It's a demon surpresser necklace...it surpresses the chakra. The person can't even draw out any chakra until the necklace comes off."Silence read.

Ino thought for a minute, before turning back to Konan,"Is there a priestess in this town?"

"I think so...her shop is around the corner from the flower shop."

"Oh Crud!"Silence muttered. Both kunoichi turned to him and gave him a questioningly look. He squirmed before reading....

"If worn too long, it completely surpresses the chakra forever even if it gets blessed and you turn into a child ontop of that."

"I don't wanna be a child again!! I'd have to go through puberty again!!!"Ino yelled, fake tears forming in the corners of her eyes.

"How long till my chakra gets surpress?"Ino asked.

"3 weeks, but you turn into a child in a day."Silence answered, looking up from the book.

"Let's get started then."Konan said. Both animal and girl nodded and they all went to Pein's office.

"So where is this Ino girl anyway? All the time I've been here, I've still haven't seen her."Sasori said to Deidara, who had a dreamy look on his face. The look came when Sasori brought up the Ino subject.

"Well she's amazing, .."Deidara said.

"What!? You've fallen for her!? Already!?"Sasori gasped in astonishment.

"What can I say? I'm a sucker for love...I .."Deidara said, snapping out of it. Sasori brought his hand to his face, covered his eyes and shook his head in some kind of shame.

"Whatever....Think about What you're getting yourself in to."He said before leaving the room.

Konan, Ino, and Silence both ran down the hill and around that corner like the devil was chasing them.

They knocked on the door and waited about 30 seconds before a lady opened the door.

"Can I help you? And greetings God's Angel"She asked. She was about 40 years old, gray eyes, and firery red hair. She looked young for her age though.

"Hai. Are you the priestess?"Ino asked.

"No. I'm Gomen but the priestess will be back tomorrow though..."She said,"I'm am just her assistant."

"Thanks. We'll be back tomorrow.."Konan said, and the lady nodded.

"Goodbye Angel."She said, before closing the door.

"Well that was a waste."Silence said.

"Not a complete one. At least we know when to come back."Ino and Konan said at the same time.

"True."Silence agreed.
