Chapter 6 Come Back: part 2
Gaara and Kakashi was having a meeting while Sai,Shikamaru,Naruto and Kankuro stood outside the Hokages office.
"We've been waiting for two hours, what could they be talking about"Naruto said walking back and forth
"Shikamaru, How could you be sleeping right now!"
"And How could you be so loud, and plus it's two o'clock in the morning How could you not be sleeping"
"He's right, I still wondered why Tema would marry such a lazy bastard"
"Whatever, why are you here anyway"
"Gaara scheduled an emergency meeting, he said it's important"
Just then Kakashi invited them in
"Gaara had just informed me that there had been some missing nin in Suna and I believe that it is related to the case in Konoha."
"You three will find and infiltrate their base, bring back any Shinobi that you see and eliminate the group."
"Is it fine if Kankuro joins them, because now it is a Suna matter as well"
"Of Course, then it's settled you four are to leave at once and Shikamaru you are leading this mission"
"Ok"
"Get going"
oooooooooo
The guys have been traveling for 2 days without sleep to find the hideout and now the sun was setting when Kankuro finally spoke up.
"I think we should rest here for tonight"
"I don't think that's a good idea" Shikamaru contested against his brother-in-law.
"Why not"
"Because we're in an unfamiliar place"
"Come on Shikamaru, we should just rest for a few hours" Naruto said as he chimed in.
"Whatever just as long as someone keeps watch"
"Finally"
They found some wood from the forest nearby and built a fire. As they were talking and eating their food Sai heard something.
"I sense something"
Sai turned around and saw some ninja in the behind them.
"Guys, watch out"
About 20 ninja jumped out and attacked them. They tried to fight back killing about 10 of the ninja. But even their best wasn't enough. The ninja knocked them out and brought them back to their base.
oooooooooo
When Shikamaru woke up, he noticed he was tied down to a chair and that his ninja tools were missing.
"I see you finally woke up"
"Huh"
"You've been sleep for two weeks, I've been waiting for you and your friends to wake up, but your the first.
"You look familiar"
"Do I?"
As Shikamaru was thinking about how he knew him, he remembered how about five years ago, 3 ninja were forced to leave Konoha because of treason.
"Now I remember, you kicked out of Konoha due to treason."
"It should have been you, marrying someone from a different country, let alone an enemy!"
The man Stabbed Shikamaru in the shoulder with his sword that left a deep gash that would have needed stitches to heal.
"Did that hurt" He laughed as he noticed how Shikamaru winced in pain.
"Then you shouldn't have married that tramp" This time he slashed his back which then blood flowed from.
Shikamaru noticed how with every stab he was getting more violent. He wasn't sure if he was going to make it with the amount of blood he is loosing.
"I was trying to help Konoha by getting rid of any outsider, they did not belong there. Your wife included, I knew you were sad to see her die."
"Temari's not dead"
"She has to be, I poisoned her with the most toxic poison. Perfectly crafted from the strongest Akatsuki members blood"
While the man was talking, Shikamaru was able to break the ties. He was furious, his wife could have died and this was the reason Shikari got a chakra reading similar to Pain.
The ninja hadn't noticed Shikamaru getting up until he was trapped in his shadow. The man tried to break free but couldn't.
"Let me go"
"Why Would I, You put my family in danger"
And with that Shikamaru used shadow stitching jutsu and pierced the man. The man feel to the ground surrounded by his own blood.
Shikamaru grabbed the man's sword and left out the room to find the rest of his comrades. As he walked down the hallway he noticed a room the was slightly cracked. Inside he saw everyone else tied up just as he was. The person in the room hadn't noticed him and he quickly used his shadow possession jutsu and stabbed him with the sword.
"We thought you were dead"
Shikamaru began untying the rest of their ties.
"I wouldn't dream of it"
"Dude, what happened to your back, there's blood all on your shirt"
"Nothing, come on let's get our stuff destroy the base and head home"
They did just that and made it home in 2 days. As they walked to the hokages building, Kakashi was sitting at his desk.
"We were just about to send a team to find you but it seems that you all returned safe. Shikamaru, did everything go according to plan."
"We were taken by some of the members who were once Konoha nin, but we took care of them and destroyed their base"
"Good, now Kankuro you will stay with Shikamaru until Gaara returns and take him to the hospital to get the wounds on his back healed. You are free to leave."
oooooooooo
Shikamaru and Kankuro entered the house after a long day at the hospital. The first thing he noticed was his daughter in front of the TV watching her favorite show.
"I don't think you should be that close"
"Daddy, your home"
Shikari ran to hug her dad as he picked her up in his arms and placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Where's your mom and brother"
"In the kitchwen"
"Shikamaru, Kankuro. We were worried sick. What happened."
"Nothing everything is taken care of"
"Ok, well dinner's ready come and eat"
At the dinner table, Temari told them what had happened in the past two weeks. They were laughing and having fun, but Temari noticed they way Shikamaru acted and it wasn't like himself.
"Tema where am I sleeping"
"The normal room"
"Alright, goodnight everyone"
"Goodnight Kankuro, you two time for bed go get nightclothes on"
"But mommm" both of the children said in unison
"Go now, I'll be up in a couple of minutes"
The children left angrily left for there rooms and now that it was only Temari and Shikamaru left in the kitchen.
"What's wrong, and tell me everything"
"One of the ninja that I killed said he poisoned you while you were pregnant"
She wasn't sure if she heard him right
"His goal was to try and kill you because you were an outsider, but I guess Shikari absorbed it"
"Why do you say that" He heard how worried she sound but she tried to keep a calm face.
"Because he said the poison was made of Akatsuki blood and Shikari had a chakra pattern the resembled Pain when she was born"
"What does this mean"
"I don't know, but she seems healthy to me so I dont think there's a reason to worry"
"I just want her to be safe, ya know"
"I understand but right now she's still the same Shikari that we have known forever"
"Your right, just with you missing for two weeks and the news you just told me, I'm stressed out"
"Remember what you told me, we are a team your problems are my problems"
"I remember lazyass"
"I'm glad you do Troublesome"
He placed a kiss on her lips and they went to the bedroom for the night to make up for lost time.
oooooooooo
