We do not own Naruto and it's characters, we only own our OC's. Thanks for reading and sticking with us, we haven't posted a new chapter in a while! Reviews are always welcome, and the flow of chapters may be weird, since school has started and we are extremely busy!
Thanks again!
~The Ninjas
Miko Katsuki
The two girls made their way back to Konoha, but Katsuki had to lead for once, as Akari seemed deep in thought. She herself thought over the meeting. Akari-chan did seem to hold back more, leaving the answering to Katsuki, who already had a slightly bitter disposition towards Akatsuki as it was.
They made it to the wall surrounding Konoha and both took off their cloaks and put them in their packs. They certainly didn't want to be mistaken for intruders, which was ironic under the current situation. Katsuki led the way down to a side road, at which point Akari-chan started to get figity, which was very unlike her. Then a person moved in the shadows.
Damn it! Katsuki thought, her guard was down. She recognized the person as Super-Bored-Guy: Shikamaru. Ugh, what did he need? Shikamaru stepped out of the shadows as Katsuki looked at Akari, who had her head held in slight guilt. They would talk later, for sure. Meanwhile...
"Can I...help you, yet again?" Katsuki asked the ninja, noticing he was showing some emotion on his face.
"I don't know, can you? It's troublesome, but the Sand nin Gaara just told me he saw a shady figure outside earlier and I thought I'd take a look." His face showed that he suspected the possibility that 'the shady figure' was one of the two kunoichi.
"Well, I'll let you know if I see anything." Katsuki replied with a smile and started to walk away with Akari. Shikamaru grabbed her wrist.
"Hai, that would be helpful. Wouldn't want the enemy to deceive us and get away." He said in slight accusation. That pissed Katsuki off - even though he was right, the girls practically were the enemy - and Akari saw her anger. Katsuki did NOT like people with the nerve to do that. So she got up in his face, of course.
"Nani?! Are you, of all people, accusing me-" Akari yanked her away. They did not need to turn this into a fight. The two girls walked away, Shikamaru staring after.

"Okay. Did someone see you? Be honest!" Katsuki questioned Akari as soon as they had got in her room. She'd been anxious ever since they left Shikamaru, and was super curious. Akari looked at her.
"I didn't think so...I really didn't."
"Oh, well then the whole story would help a little!"
Akari sighed, then nodded. "The Sand shinobi, Gaara, was outside while I was coming to meet up with you. It would've been no problem, but I wasn't expecting it. He was in my way, so I waited for him to move. He went inside, so I jumped, but he must've heard me." A small sigh. "I didn't realize he was a Jinchūriki, Shukaku."
Akari's head hung, which was very unlike her normal self: cool and collected.
"Hai, well okay. We'll be more careful. No worries!" Katsuki assured Akari. Just a minor mistake...
