(Gomen ne...this is short)
Kasa
Kasa was in pain. It felt like she had gotten a major sun burn. Had she fallen asleep in the tanning booth again? She opened her eyes to see the hokage standing over her. It was then she realized she was in a bed.
“Where am I?” she asked.
“The hospital.”
Kasa’s eyes went wide.
“You’re ok. A few burns, but other than that you’re going to be fine. If Shikamaru hadn’t protected you from behind, you would have been hurt a lot worse.”
“He protected me? How is he?”
“Banged up worse than you, but he’ll be ok.”
“Melon-chan and Chero-chan. How are they?”
Tsunade shook her head.
“We currently do not know the location of Chero and Melon.”
Kasa closed her eyes, tears spilling out.
Melon
The three sand siblings, Gaara, Temari and Kankuro were on their way home after having business at the leaf village.
Gaara stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Temari asked.
Gaara walked over to a tree where a girl was lying passed out, she looked hurt.
“Is she a ninja?” Kankuro asked standing beside his brother.
Temari examined the girl, cursing herself for not being better at medical jutsu and pulled off the girl’s headband, showing it to her brother.
“I don’t recognize this village symbol do you?”
The girl groaned and opened her eyes to see the three sibling staring at her.
Chero
Two cloaked figures, one tall with a large white sword strapped to his back, the other short. Each wore a hat that covered their faces, the red clouds on the black background of the cloaks, a beacon to all those around them. The taller one started to talk to the shorter one.
“I don’t know why you wanted to go for a walk, Itachi-san...You didn’t even talk.”
“That’s because it was supposed to be relaxing...” Itachi thought to himself, “But of course you couldn’t stop talking Kisame...”
Itachi rubbed his sinuses and stopped suddenly as he spotted something. He walked over to it. It was a girl. Kisame followed Itachi yammering about something or other.
“Who’s that? Where’d she come from?”
Itachi bent over and examined the head band on her sleeve.
“I’ve never seen that village symbol before.” Kisame said stealing the words from Itachi’s mind.
“Itachi-san, what should we do with her? Can I cut her up?”
“We should take her back to the hideout with us and see what Leader-sama thinks...She may hold valuable information...”Itachi said.
Kisame agreed and threw the girl over his shoulder. Then the two of them headed back to the hideout.
