- Oh! Do you know this girl? Perfect!
The face covered ninja takes a look at the girls face, now washed in salty water. She blinks her eyes several times so they can dry a bit and looks in the young boys eyes. He now gets out of the forest and takes to steps into the open area, incisive, serious. His eyes meet her eyes for a moment and yet his expression remains the same.
- I think i told you to...
- Kill her if you please! She's nobody!
The sentence makes the ninja hesitate for a moment and, taking advantage, Shikamaru makes a pair hand seals. Nothing happens.
- Stop it! Stop it I said!
He takes the kunai all the way to the girls neck, and the tip touches her. The girl can feel a drop of blood dripping down the side of her neck. The ninja starts saying something but, at that moment, a young boy with long dark hair wearing a kimono and a sort of cape and with big white eyes appears from the forest behind the ninja. The boy grabs the cape and throws it in the air in front of himself. He then moves his right hand in the cape direction, like if he was attacking the cape.
- Hakke Kuushou!
A chackra wave, like wind, opens the cape completely launching it in the air and causing it's shadow to cover all the area between Shikamaru and the enemy.
Surprised by the move, and acting solely on instinct, the ninja presses the kunai to the girls neck, trying to kill her but, the distraction stops the ninja from noticing a swift sharp shadow pointing out of the ground next to his feet. It quickly hits the kunai stopping it from going further than skin deep and throwing it in the air.
The ninja immediately lets go of the girl and jumps to the only place, of the non forest area, where there was no one, only to be hit by the right hand of a pink haired girl who was waiting in some trees nearby. She hits him with an amazing strength and launches him a few meters forward, unconscious.
A few more seconds pass and the young girl's legs give up, she sits on the floor. Her tears are too many to even try to contain and her hands cover her face, ashamed, frightened. Her hands were still full of dirt from all the digging and her face gets a little dirt.
Shikamaru slowly gets near her and speaks in a low voice.
- Yu-chan... it's over... you are safe now...
Yu raises her head and looks him in the eyes. She then looks to the two people behind him. The dark haired boy, Neji, and the pink haired girl, Sakura, and gets all flustered and red.
- Shika-baka! - She slaps Shikamaru's right cheek speaking and crying - Don't ever say I'm nobody, don't say I'm nobody!
The cry is shut by a forth person that appears from the forest. It's a tall, slender, tanned girl with amazing light green eyes. She looks at Shikamaru with a serious look in her face. She then lifts a finger and makes an horizontal move with it, in the air. In the place where her finger shadow was projected while doing that movement a black line is drawn. From that line several shadow blades rise, similar to Shikamaru's previous attack. These blades raise quickly from the ground, passing next to Shikamaru, Neji, Sakura and Yu and hitting the unconscious ninja in his vitals.
- Rei! - What the hell are you doing? - Shikamaru exclaims, not believing in what the girl did.
The girl quickly walks towards Shikamaru, stopping with her face only a few centimeters from his, looking him in the eye, extremely angry.
- Her neck! You let my sister get hurt! After everything... after everything you are still the same coward... and don't call me Rei ever again, my name is Reisui, u shall call me that!
She helps Yu get up and together they enter the forest.
- She killed him! We needed Information... she might even be from the group we are after! We cannot let them leave, they...
Before Neji can finish what he was saying, he's interrupted by Shikamaru.
- We are not gonna do a thing... I'll take full responsibility for what happened... let's go...
Sakura looks at Shikamaru's face, he seems a bit disturbed and it's the first time she sees him like that.
- Shikamaru-kun, are you...
Before she could finish the sentence Shikamaru notices the recently dug dirt and starts digging. He suddenly stops, taking something from the little hole. The item is small enough to fit his palm. Because of Shikamaru's position they cannot see what the item is but they can see how shocked his face looks like after what he just found.
He puts the item in one of his vest pockets and stays still and silent for a moment, hitting the ground with his fist immediately after and screaming.
- Ahhhhhhh! Dammit, why now?
