When the three turned the corner, none had expected what they were to be greeted with.
Iruka looked shocked, before dropping the bags and pulling out a pristine kunai and jumping in front of the two girls.
Before them, about five metres away stood a tall person,cloaked from head to foot in a black,ominous cloak. His mask was of a bird, white mostly with red sharp markings. Sheer had heard of these people, but she had never stayed in a land long enough to see them with her very eyes. She too stepped in front of Celeste, placing her feet in a taijutsu formation, one palm forward.
As she always had been taught in such situations, she quickly analysed her surroundings. And behind them, approximately the same distance away stood an almost exact copy,only this one lacked the cloak and had ghostly white hair peeking out from behind the mask.
Iruka too analysed. He seemed skilled in these situations.
These people were none other than the Hidden Leaf's ANBU black ops.
"Step down ,they're with me." Iruka proclaimed loud and clearly, lowering his guard and staring straight at the ANBU behind with the white hair. He glared at him, almost as though they knew one another.
"The girl with the hair. She needs to be taken in for questioning. In case she's a spy. She's from the Village Hidden in the Waterfalls yet failed to state her presence here." The ninja ahead said, lifting his cloak away from him and dropping it. By the time it hit the floor, Sheer was squeezed tightly in wood that seemed to emerge from the ground. She struggled to breathe.
Iruka had gasped and shouted at the wood style user ahead, lunging towards him and leaping at him with his kunai.
"Yamato whats wrong with you!" Iruka said,trying to get 'Yamato' to release his jutsu.
Sheer smirked slyly as the clone in the grasps of the wood poofed and was replaced with a log.
"Don't think you can get away." A manly and mysterious voice whispered into her ear and she felt a hand on her waist. Her eyes widened as she turned and the other ANBU had a kunai to her neck. He smelled absolutely delicious and his voice was far more attractive than she could ever imagine. But then she noticed , in one of the eye holes, she noticed a gleam. A gleam she hadn't seems in five years.
A gleam as red and permanent as blood, with distinct black markings that screamed the sharingan.
Sheer leapt forward in utter fear,her mind replaying the events of that disastrous night so long ago and she screamed out as her heart twisted. She fell to the dust and the last thing she heard was Iruka's yelling , his soothing voice calling her name...
