Strangers to Themselves

[Jazzy-DoNo]

Shizuko watch Shi Shi move out of the room. She waited there for a few mor minutes trying to Sleep but knowing she couldn't She decided to fallow him. She walked ourside and quickly found her cousin and walked up next to him. "What Are you doing?" She asked in a hushed voice.

It wasn't long after Seriph drifted into a sleep that Shikamaru finally found him. And as his Sensei he was pretty upset that someone had attacked him. Shikamaru picked Seriph up gently and walked him to the hospital. Wondering who would do such a thing.

Sakura stretched one of her sore arms, more than likely it was from sleeping in the wrong position. Her eyes widened slightly as she heard footsteps other than her own. What would someone be doing up this late at night? she thought. She waited a moment before jumping up into a nearby tree, keeping her head slightly out to see the area but not far enough for someone to see her.

[Betrayer]

Seriph lay limp in Shikimaru's arms, not waking as he was lifted up. He showed no sign of stirring still after they had arrived at the hospital. Days and days of torture can certainly strip away one's will, especially someone as young as Seriph.

Shizuko glanced over his shoulder at his cousin. "I was just going to take a look around the village. I might as well know the place in case something happens tomorrow. Didn't your father always tell you to be prepared?" He smirked and turned back away from her, walking forward. He walked past the tree that Sakura lay hidden withing and looked up, staring at the stars through the branches. For a moment he thought he saw movement in the tree but put it off as the wind playing at the leaves.

[Jazzy-DoNo]

Shizuko gave him a dirty look. "Don't talk about my father like you know him..Cause you don't. You grew up with that filthy orginazation the A-" She cut herself off senceing somone was there. She looked around for a moment and when she saw nothing She looked back at Shi Shi.."Who ever is there better come out now..." Shizuko could have used her Sharigan to find the person but she wasn't about to not knowing who it was.

[nekospirit]

Sakura tilted her head forward slightly, instantly remembering the red and white fan embroidered in the shirt. An Uchiha symbol! she thought in complete shock. She hadn't realized how much she had tilted until she lost her balance, but landed on the floor on both feet with knees bent. She stood up to both of her feet, eyes narrowed. "Why do you have an Uchiha symbol?" she demanded in a low voice. From her knowledge, Sasuke and Itachi were the last members of the Uchiha clan.

As the woman slipped from the tree, Shikyo darted away, a kunai slipping out of his sleeve. He crept into the darkness fading from sight as he waited for Shizuko to try and deal with this. He might as well not get involved until absolutely necessary. And who knows, maybe his blade would be needed here. Why couldn't thinks just go simply for once he thought to himself... it always had to find some way to ruin things for them.

[Jazzy-DoNo]

Shizuko didn't even look at him as ShiShi slipped off into the shadows. She starred at Sakura for a moment soon realizing just who she was. A Smirk ran across her face. "Perhaps because I am a Uchiha.." She said her calm cool attitude just liek her father playing threw.

[nekospirit]

It must have been over 20 years since Sakura saw either of the Uchiha brothers, so it shouldn't have been so surprising. The way Shizuko spoke caused the hairs on the back of her neck to stand up, reminding her of the times Team 7 when Kakashi was their sensei. It sounds like she knows me... but how would she? Sakura thought.

A blond girl walked casually, not too far from where Sakura and Shizuko were, however didn't seem to notice their presences. When it was late at night she was fairly carefree (unless she was on a mission), unlike during the daytime when she's more than likely focusing on training. Kira didn't really understand her behaviour, but she hasn't had much problems with it. Not yet at least.

Shikyo tilted his head slightly as he heard more footfalls. 'Great, just what we need... more visitors.' he thought to himself before moving to make a distraction. He moved in the pattern of her foot steps so it would seem as if only one set of footfalls were there before he threw a pebble down a nearby alleyway. Maybe that would pull her away, at least for a moment. He had to deal with that other girl before the entire village was allerted to their presence.

A gentle breeze flittered through the village, the night sending a silent chill down his back. Ignoring the reaction against the familiar cold, the male brought the scattering cloak closer around his body, protecting his old style of clothing from all eyes. He was thankful for the hood, though would never say it aloud, his features hidden in a shroud of darkness. Coal black hues scanned over the dark scenery easily, but he did not need to look around to know the places of his past home. Even if he had not been to the town in a stretched period of time, not much had changed, and very little changes occurred to the objects that did. Drawing in a deep breath through flaring nostrils, the Uchiha male stopped his walking momentarily, closing his eyes to concentrate on his surroundings.

It was only a few seconds before heightened skills caught the distant sound of voices. He didn't move, though, even as a direction was pinpointed. Instead, his hands shifted slightly under the cloak, and a gust of strong wind carried his appearance elsewhere in the village.</sub>

OOC: Nope Don't mind..Actually it will make it more interesting just stay in order ok!!


Shizuko stuffed her hands into her poskets and took a pose. Once agian just like her father. She looked at Sakura threw dark orbs. "Heh..You must Be Sakura. . ." She said with a smirk in her voice but not on her face. A chill crawled up her spine and she took a deep breath. She could feel her fathers presence in the village. She hadn't expected him to come so soon. What was he doing here? She didn't show her slight shock, but instead kept her cool calm face. Her black hair with a blue shine falling to her shoulders. "My father told me a lot about you"

[nekospirit]

It might be possible she is an Uchiha... but Itachi hardly knows any information about me... unless... Sakura tried desprately to mask her expression with narrowed eyes. She thought it may have been too early to judge, so she decided to see if she could get more information. "Is that so?" she asked with a calm voice.

Kira's brow raised slightly as she heard a pebble being thrown. That's strange... she thought. She felt an urge of curiosity forcing her feet to walk towards the sound but as she walked she rapidly made hand seals and whispered softly.

[Betrayer]

Shikyo smiled as she followed his distraction. But as his ears caught her whisperings, the smile dropped. What was she doing now? He shifted the kunai in his hand uneasily before preparing to jump to the rooftops. He'd have to be careful with her... she seemed a little too crafty for his likes. And if he gave away his position to that other ninja he might blow any chance they have of making it through alive.

[Jazzy-DoNo]

Shizuko smiled a bit. She could feel what Sakura was feeling. And With her father being so near she had to watch her step. She slightly wondered if ShiShi was takeing care of the other footsteps she also herd a moment ago. He probably was. Shizuko studied Sakuura for a moment looking up and down her body. "Yeah. You used to have a mayjor crush on my dad...er still do I guess." Shizuko looked away. "I wouldn't know." Shizuko looked back at Sakura to see her expression. This was priceless.

"You're... Sasuke's daughter?"

Naruto's head rested on a desk filled with mostly completed files. Being Hokage wasn't exactly what he had pictured it, but he didn't hate it. Nor did he like having to fill out financial forms, which was his worst task that usually took hours to handle. His blue eyes opened slowly as he awoke from his 'cat nap' which seemed to have taken longer than he wanted. He stretched his arms as he yawned loudly, but it stopped instantly as he realized how dark it was. "AHH--" he instantly covered his mouth with his hands, remembering it was late and didn't want anyone to rush in. The young man looked down at his desk and sighed, realizing that his unfinished stack of files was slightly bigger than his completed work. "Well I guess I could get that done with tomorrow morning... hmm... I haven't gone out for a while." he said to himself. He stood up from his chair, pushed it in, then walked out of the Hokage's office--which was finally his.

"Boo!" said a voice in Shikyo's ear. Kira never really thought that learning a water clone would be much help since she wasn't even a mist ninja, but her previous teacher said it would have paid off. Well it sure did pay off... she thought to herself. She quickly swiped Shikyo's kunai knife once he was offguard, holding one of her shuriken at the other hand.
