Well was it..love? That's something Shikamaru couldn't answer exactly at his age. But he was really going out of his way for this girl, something he really found himself only doing for her. "Gone?" Shikamaru questioned solemnly a frown appearing on his face at the news, the three sat down near the entryway stairs of the compound, as Neji sighed out in confirmation. "You don't believe that do you!?" Rock Lee questioned his teammate, as he could sense that Neji was reacting differently to the news
"I don't," Neji responded, a few moments of silence washed over the three before he answered. "But something happened.., I can't reach her.." he mumbled out, as Shikamaru eyed him. "That mark on her head, that's how?" Shikamaru then questioned, almost taking Neji aback as he knew about the curse mark. He was almost hesitant to respond — "Yeah..." he gulped out, "We were trying to trace her..until it went blank.."
"With the way she covered that mark, she probably took the opportunity to get rid of it." Shikamaru concluded as Neji looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "But— There's no way to get rid of it..it's there until you die.." he concluded, as Rock Lee listened on, "Who knows.." he then added, as he thought on about their last mission, "There's a lot of strange people out there with some crazy abilities that I even didn't realize existed.."
"So you guys..think.." Neji then mumbled out, as he looked back to the compound wearily, "She's alive. We believe you." Shikamaru concluded as he clutched his fist. "[Name] is smart.., and she's strong enough to hold her own.." Rock Lee then said, "She's your sister after all..you know her better than anyone else."
Quietly, well not so much actually━ he stomped throughout the second floor of the base, it had been the early hours of the morning when the Immortalist found himself awake. There was a ritual he had to tend to soon, he sensed the presence of another as he walked down the hallway, swiftly turning to the individual in an act of defense. He allowed his guard to lower as he realize dit to be the new member of Akatsuki. "Hey...bit—"
And she swiftly looked over at him with an icy glare. "Watch it." she quickly retorted to him, as quickly as he was about to spill out the insult, he quieted down immediately after. He smirked soon after, her mean eyes still glaring at him. "Eh..surprised you're not passing out at the door again..grew some balls huh?" he then said to her, as she rose an eyebrow at the sudden comment.
