Sandy, Bloody, Cookie Sweet Love

Chapter 13

Mizumii's POV

I'm a chunin and it's been forever since this happened. Okay like a half a year. Well, I had spent the night at Shikamaru's and our new Hokage, Tsunade, knew this because me and him had to do some paperwork for her, but we didn't know why.

Anyway, we we're eating breakfast when Shikamaru's mom came in and said that me and Shikamaru had a visitor. We got to Tsunade's office and were filled in on the Sasuke issue.

"So Mr. Popular finally decided that he needs to be put in the lunney house, great. When I find him I'll make it so that he can't move for a week." Truth was, I was a little worried. And they could tell.

"You are to get a team and go to get Sasuke back. You are both the Captains, because he's headed for Orochimaru and Mizumii, you are the only ninja I think can take Orochimaru down if he shows up." Tsunade said. I sparred with her once and she almost needed to go to the hospital, I was going easy on her too.

"Ok, do you have anyone in mind Lady Tsunade?" Shikamaru said.

"Yes, and here they are, go get them and get ready to leave. The sooner you leave the sooner Sasuke gets back to this village." She said as she handed us the papers.

"Ok, we'll go get them." I said as we left.

"I'll get Neji and Kiba, you go get Naruto and Choji." I said. I got my two easy, we we're walking to Choji's when we saw him run through his front door, grabbing a chip that Shikamaru was holding. Akamaru went for it, but Choji shoved it in his mouth before Akamaru could bet it from his hand.

"Hey Shika, you ready yet?"

"Yeah Mizu" That was his shortened name for me, because I called him Shika instead of Shikamaru. These little nicknames were only used between the two of us, no one else was allowed to call us them. We were at the village gates when Sakura showed up.

"Naruto, bring Sasuke home, bring him back to me" She said as she started crying. He promised, and we we're gone. We made it past multiple traps before we got to our targets, sound ninja.

'Great, there's four. A chick, a fat guy, a guy with 6 arms, and a guy with what looks like two heads. and they must be really powerful if they were sent on a retrieval mission. We are so screwed. Because they know we're here.' As I finished my thought, we got stuck in a chakra draining rock orb, just peachy. The guys were freaking out and as they did I was thinking of a plan to get out along with Shika. After a while of the other's wasting their chakra, it hit me, and by the looks of things Shikamaru did too.

"You thinkin' what I'm thinkin' Mizu?"

"If you mean using everyone's strengths to get outta here, then yes Shika, yes I am." We used our plan that we both had, because it was the same exact plan, and we got out. We left Choji to fight the fat dude and continued. I was worried about him.

When we caught up with them again, we left Neji to fight the six armed guy. When we caught up for the third time, a new guy showed up. Kiba fell down a ravine with the two-headed guy.

Shika told me and Naruto to go after the new dude, whose name was Kimimaru, while he fought the chick. We got to a field when Kimimaru stopped and put the thing that Sasuke was in down. Sasuke came out when Rock Lee appeared.

I told Naruto to go after Sasuke while me and Lee fought Mr. Boneman. And that's what he did.

Lee told me not to bother because of how stressed I was, and a Neko's stress weakens their amount of chakra, so I was pretty much useless at this point in time.

After a while Lee took his medicine. Which was actually sake, Lady Tsunade must have mixed them up some how. He started acting drunk, because he was, and was doing better than earlier.

After a while though he lost his touch and was knocked backwards, being caught, by sand.
