Konohas Traitors (Book Two Of The YASAD Series)

Reunion

Kruno giggling slightly as she stared at Shikamaru, watching the tears falling down his face.

"Oh look at the fucking cry baby!" Kruno laughed out loud, looking at Hidan. "This outta be fun."

Shikamaru just stared at Kruno, taking in all of her features. All the features that she thought were rotting in the ground, all the features he thought he would never see again. All the features, that somehow had seemed to change since last time that he saw her. Her hair was now at her waist which shocked him, because Kruno hated long hair. The scar along her cheek was slightly a shock, since she didn't have it last time he saw her, but then again, it's been three years.

Her eyes seemed dead. They were sparkling when she looked at him like they used to, they didn't have hope and determination in them like they used to. They didn't have love in them anymore. No, her eyes were cold and dead. It really was like he was looking into his dead lovers eyes because of how dull they were. It was frightening.

"Are you done strategizing?" Hidan asked he began to pull the sword out of his body, placing them on his back. "How pesky, stabbing me in the lung. The gods are going to punish you. You don't know a thing about us." He said, pushing one of the swords forward. "Especially about how Kruno has grown. She's right when she says she's unstoppable."

Kruno watched as Shikamaru crouched down, and got in position for his shadow stitching Jutsu, and she smirked slightly. Asuma raised his Chakra Blades at Hidan, and ran at him. Hidan laugh and ran at him, and their weapons clashed together before they landed on the ground, looking back at the other.

Shikamaru's shadows began to go after Hidan, and Kruno gave a small smirk before she ran at Shikamaru with her sword in the air so fast that the other two 'guarding.' him didn't seem see her move. When she got to Shikamaru, she used her foot and kicked him in the side of the face, sending him flying back slightly along the ground. Shikamaru groaned in pain as the other two looked at Kruno with a shocked expression, not knowing when they got there.

"Dammit!" Shikamaru said as he began to stand up, but Kruno ran at him again and delivered a swift hit with her leg against his face, causing him to scoot back against the ground slightly.

"When did she get so strong?!" Imuzo shouted at his partner who was staring at Kruno with wide eyes. "When did she get so fast?!"

"When I died." Kruno replied as she swung her leg around, and caught Imuzo under his jaw slightly, throwing him up into the air with a gentle smirk.

The other guy just stared at Kruno, not making a move so she shrugged him off. If he wasn't going to make the fight worth her time, why even bother?

Her attention went back to Shikamaru had had pushed himself up off to his feet, and he had a kunai in his hand. Kruno gave a laugh as she took the same pose from earlier, and smiled at her ex lover.

"Are you gonna stand there or are you going to fight me?" Kruno said, and Shikamaru smirked sadly as he ran towards her. When he got close end, Kruno brought her sword around and it clashed with Shikamaru's kunai. Both of them were pushing against the other weapons, staring at each other in the eyes until both of them leaped away from each other.

"You've gotten stronger, I'll give you that." Kruno said smiling at Shikamaru. Shikamaru gave her a small smile back as they ran at each other again, and began to swing their weapons at the other, each time it was clashing with the others weapon. The sound of metal hitting against each other.

"Why are you-" Shikamaru started go speak, but he was cut off by the clashing of their weapons, but he began again. "-doing this Kruno?! This isn't like you!" He shouted, and Kruno gave him an evil smile.
