Temari is pregnant!

I cannot lose you (Part 2)

"Temari, I am getting impatient. We will find you eventually. Just surrender already", the masked woman yelled. It could be heard from her voice tone that she was extremely mad.

The three Kumogakure ninjas were still trying to take Temari. They have not been able to capture her, but they were able to injure her. Badly...

It was the first time for Temari to be put into this position. She had a huge wound on her back, a deep cut to her left arm, bruises all over her body, and she had sprained her right ankle.

In her whole life she was never injured like that before. Even when she was training with her father, she was able to survive. He didn't hold back, and he always went against her with the intention to kill. She always managed to survive though. However, she wasn't so sure right now.

After getting hit by the hot mud balls, the blonde woman knew that she had reach her limit. She knew that it was going to be over soon, but she still managed to escape from the masked woman that was coming for her.

I hope that Matsuri and Shikadai are in Konoha by now, she thought as she was leaning on a tree with her back. She didn't have any more strength. Shikamaru, I am sorry, she whispered and closed her eyes whilst she tried to stand up once again.

Well, this is it, she said and stood up.

"Look who we have here. The Princess decided to show herself", the taller man exclaimed as soon as he spotted Temari.

"Finally. I was getting bored", the woman said.

"Why are still standing?", the shorter man said in a low angry voice. "We need to capture you and return. I am getting mad", he continued and formed earth seals.

"Earth Style...", before completing his attack the shorter man was attacked from behind.

"Lighting Release: Lightning Illusion Flash of Lightning Pillar", it could be heard, and the three masked people gasped from the bright light. The voice belonged to a male ninja who could use the Lighting element.

What is going on? Is someone here to help me? Temari thought as run to hide behind a tree. But who?

The three Kumogakure ninjas' target vision was disorientated, and that gave the unknown man (to Temari), to look for her. He didn't call her name, not to give their position, but he was still able to sense her.

Understanding that someone was coming towards her; Temari grabbed her fan and tried to take a fighting position once again, but she didn't have any strength. However, when she saw who approached her, she relaxed.

"C is that you?", she asked as she collapsed.

"Yes, Temari. Don't move too much, I am going to heal you", he said and placed both of his hands on her open wounds.

Temari knew who C was. He was 6 years older than Temari, and he was a serious and very mature Kumogakure ninja, with a confident look on his face. He has dark eyes and short, blond hair which make a great contrast with his usual black ninja attire.

In the past, he was Darui's partner, and right now he acts as one of the Fourth Raikage's bodyguard and accompanies him to the Five Kage Summit. Temari got to know him through those meetings, and they formed a relationship. She respected him as he put duty above all, and in addition to his good-looking appearance he was a humble and down to earth person.

"I am lucky", she said in a low voice. The truth is that not only C was powerful, but he was also a sensory and medic ninja. It was the best ally that Temari could ask in a moment like this.
