Shallow Wounds

I was barely able to get any sleep. Every time I closed my eyes the covered face and silvered hair flooded the back of my eye lids making my chest tighten and my stomach flip. When first light started shining through I gave up the idea of getting any semblance of rest and forced my way up for a cold shower. The cold water beating down on my tired muscles helped give me some energy. I smiled recalling a memory when I had to stay up for four days straight...

Eight years earlier....

"This rain may cause some problems Shiori. We should wait it out." the masked guy dressed in anbu uniform whispered. We were standing in a tree top over looking a mansion that was surrounded by guards and possibly other fellow shinobi. I surveyed the area closely trying to find a way around the storm that was beating down on us and the people on alert below.

"You don't think we can actually use it to our advantage?" I asked considering all options. "This rain is so heavy it'll muffle our movements even more and their field of vision is lessened."

"No. This rain is dangerous. We'll wait it out." This said he disappeared. I shook my head almost imperceptibly then followed in my companions foot steps. We met back up at our rendezvous point. It was a cave not too far from our target. It was cold. Damp. And flat out miserable. All this put aside it was the best place to regroup and wait out any complications.

Our unit was made up of me and my partner. It was a rescue and recovery mission. The daughter of a prominent lord had been abducted along with his villages secret jutsu scrolls. The hidden leaf was ordered to take care of the job from the Lord himself and offered a good amount of pay for it. Disgustingly he offered more for the return of the scroll than for the return and well being of his daughter. It made me sick.

"Just how long do you think this storm will last?" My partner asked settling down against one of the cave walls.

"I'm not a weather person. How should I know." I said flatly rotating my neck around trying to work out the muscles that was tensing up.

"Thought you might try asking your little friends," He said with amusement in his voice.

"Afraid my friends are hiding from the weather like we are," I snapped pulling off my mask and shooting him a glare before turning my attention to outside the cave. I knew there was noway either was going to be able to sleep. There were too many factors involved. We had to be on guard for anything the enemy could throw at us. Also any other factors that could jeopardize our mission and that included being around each other.

"Hiding?" His voice was closer now and more clear.He had removed his mask and his barely audible footsteps against the cave floor made their way over to me.

"Yes. Hiding. This rain could be our entry in. The guards are miserable and they can't see two feet in front of them meaning they won't even know what hit them. We could get in grab the girl and the scroll, we know where they're keeping them both, and get out before we are even noticed." I exclaimed. My plan seemed perfect. I don't see why he was hesitating for.

"Shiori, you're still to rash." His calm voice standing right behind me. I could feel his breath on my neck. I could feel my stomach clench and my chest tighten in anticipation. I tried to keep my reaction to his closeness out of my reaction.

"Rash?" I managed to ask.

"Yes. The rain just so happened to start when we were close. There was no sign of rain or any storm before we got here and they it suddenly hits."
