"Thank you for you guys," I thanked the group of shinobi as I shrunk my bow back down again who were looking at me pretty panicked, "seriously. I am so happy to see your ugly mugs. Fucking hell, I've had one hell of a... past few days? Weeks? I want out of this rain, that's what I want."
"You're ok?" I heard Shikamaru asked as he approached me slowly, I looked up and smiled at him with a grin.
"Of course," I told him, "when have I ever not been ok?"
Shikamaru's PoV
"Thank you for you guys," y/n thanked us as we looked down at her kneeling on the floor exhausted and soaked through in panic, "seriously. I am so happy to see your ugly mugs. Fucking hell, I've had one hell of a... past few days? Weeks? I want out of this rain, that's what I want."
"You're ok?" I couldn't help but to asked her as I slowly approached her from the back of the group. She just looked up at me and smiled, grinning wildly.
"Of course," she told me, "when have I ever not been ok?"
"Thank god," I skidded to my knees in front of her and dragged her into a hug before pulling back and pointing at her, "teams of three! It's a simple rule! Don't break it next time. Go with your team."
"Yeah, seriously," Yuuto leaned on me and pointed at her as well, "what are we? Just some rock on the side of the road?"
"Of course not," y/n sighed as she moved her gaze from me to him, "Tsunade just sent me alone and I'm not really in a position to argue with the Hokage am I?"
"Suppose not," he grumbled as Hyousuke stepped around us and offered his hand to y/n.
"Come on, up off the ground," he told her as she took his hand and he pulled her up, pulling his vest off and then pulling his over shirt off before passing it to her and putting his vest back on over his netted shirt, "you look freezing, put that on for now. We can't stay around here much longer unless we want a problem."
"We've already got a problem," Asuma sensei spoke up, we all looked over to him to see him looking into the treeline y/n had just come through, "y/n, was someone following you?"
"I'm sure there were," she answered, "they've been searching for me nonstop. They keep killing my clones. I don't know if they're from the Hidden Rain or if they're... someone else but they've been pretty consistent with their hunting."
"I see," Asuma nodded before looking to me, "they're coming."
"Damnit!" I turned to the rest of the group as I dragged y/n towards me just as she'd finished putting the shirt on over her wet clothes, "formation one, everyone!"
Your PoV
I knew they would still be following me, but I didn't know there was one that close to me.
Damnit!
Everyone started deflecting the flying weapons as Shikamaru pushed me into the centre of the group that'd now formed some form of circle around me.
"I can fight, let me—" I tried to push myself forward, but Shikamaru just looked at me over his shoulder, the look in his eyes was clear and I put my hands up in mock surrender as I took a step away from him, "fine."
"Just stay put," he told me as he knocked away another kunai and glared forward.
Fine.
After a few moments, the rain of kunai finally stopped, and we all just stood and watched for a moment before a voice cut through the area.
