training to work out the depression of losing a friend

Shika moved around the training grounds quickly and with percise timing. She threw kunai and senbon as well as shuriken at targets, she normally would have hit the target in the black zone, but her hands had been shaking so much. tears running down her face, she didn;t have on the inuzuka clan markings anylonger they had washed away with her tears. Ki barked and Shika picked the puppy up, Ki started to kick Shika's face. "Ki. I can't believe it"She murmered softly as she knelt on the ground now. her usual outfit was different then this, for her coat was missing and she was wearing all black. Her mourning clothes. She had gone into depression when her best friend died. "She was only thirteen"She said wiping tears away now and standing up after letting go of the puppy. she noticed that the one of the kunai was on a target and she went to retrieve it. The attempted to pull it out but it wouldn't budge. She slowly wrapped her fingers around the edge of the blade making sure she didn't cut herself and attempted to wiggle the kunai out. She mentally cursed herself for her stupidity as she drew back her hand and examined it. a think red line across the palm of her hand, which was growing longer as her small cut bled. she felt something different she felt all the pressures and pain be released and nearly smiled as odd as that sounds. her eyes were entranced with it for a few seconds before she realized Ki was barking and the ninja dog pulled a small pack with a bandage over. "Thanks Ki."She said her voice a whisper compared to usual. She wrapped her hand carefully and sighed. "I'm such an idiot"She muttered.

The Kazekage had watched all of this from near by, having been in the village for the Chuunin exams, obviously working on setting it up with the Hokage. He slowly approched the girl and her puppy, looking to the kunai that was lodged into the target in which the girl could not pull it out. He simply lifted his hand, sand going to the weapon and forcing it out of the board, flinging it in his direction. He caught it with one hand and held it out to the girl.
"Being as careful and cautious as possibe is a nessecity when being a shinobi.. and common sense is mixed in there as well.."

((ooc: Lol you wouldn't know that he just killed your best friend now would you? XD

And grr I hate typos @__@))

((ooc: nope and she won't know remember your deal *ghost of Karina glares at Gaara as if saying don't tell her*))

"I'm really not too thrilled at the moment Kazekage-sama... Someone important to me died recently... one of my only friends..."She said and with her non-bandaged hand took the kunai back. Ki just growled not liking anyone within two yards of her partner. "Ki back down girl"Shika said nudging the dog which just howled back in complaint

((ooc: Omg O_O Yes yes I remember the deal!! I just wonder what would happen if Shika figured out that it was Gaara who killed her best friend out of murderous intentions ))


"I see.." The only thing coming to mind was the girl he had recently eliminated. He wanted to know if this girl was talking about the one who died by his hand. "Do you wish to talk about it..?"

"not really... everyone at home's been bugging me about it. I wish Kiba and Hana and mom would leave me alone about it..."She sighed deeply. and looked up at the sky.

He gave a small nod. "I understand. May I have your name..?"

"Shika... Inuzuka Shikairi Tsume...Shika for short though..."She said quizically Kiba Inuzuka being the only Kiba in all of Konoha. "Well... There is only one Kiba in the whole entire village... and I know you two at least know of eachother... you had the chunin exams there afew years ago..."She said as she turned her attention to the kazekage

He felt his eyes widen a bit, remembering what Karina had told him and who this girl was. He would have to make it less obvious to what he might have been thinking, though that was easy enough. "Yes.. I remember Kiba. He faced Uzumaki Naruto in the preliminary rounds.."

"yeah... Well he my mom and our oldest sis Hana have been bugging me alot lately... even Akamaru and my dog Ki, have been"She grinned as she reached to the puppy and picked her up.

"So you train to get things off your mind..?"

"Yeah. I love training out in the fresh air."She said sighing slightly,(i'm temporarily gonna play Kiba >>) Shika sighed and stood up. "Kiba! get out of hiding!"She yelled staring at one of the trees. Kiba and Akamaru jumped down the huge dog gave a bark. "Kiba. I told you leave me alone already!"She yelled and in the blink of an eye threw a kunai at her brother who barely dodged it. "Hey! it's a big brother's job to watch over his little sis" Kiba said. "I have Ki with me I don't need Kiba here too. now leave."She said. "No... and your clan markings are off... cried that much?"He said and the girl flushed red before she threw another kunai at him which he leaned to the left to avoid. "Hey Gaara."Kiba said.

It was all a bit sudden but nontheless it didn't bother him as he turned his head to the elder of the two Inuzuka. "Hello, Kiba.."

"Hey... I think i'll go before Shika's aim suddenly gets better"The older of the two that were there said. "Good riddence!"Shika said angrilly to Kiba. "Watch it young lady!"Kiba said. "Oooh I'm sooo scared!!!"She said sarcasticly as Ki went over to Akamaru and kiba and barked and whined, Shika started to laugh shaking her head as Kiba picked Ki up and the puppy bit his hand. "Good girl Ki."She said as Kiba ran in a circle trying to shake the puppy off his hand.

He watched Kiba run around in circles, the puppy still sinking into his hand with it's teeth. "..."

Shika blinked... "How long will ki keep this up Akamaru?"She asked and the large dog shook his head. Kiba ran still till Ki finally let go. he examined his hand. "oww...! Shika!!! You and I and Hana and Mom have taught Ki better then that. controll her!"He complained. Shika just smirked.

He continued to stay silent as he watched the sibligs, at a loss as to what he could say if he wanted to say anything at all.

Kiba left with Akamaru whom was fallowed bi Ki. Shika stayed still with a confused expression

((ooc: Lmao you accidentily used the wrong account XD Let's just pretend that didn't happen ))

"..." He watched them leave, then looked to Shika. "May I ask what that was about..?"

"Well Basicly Ki was saying for Kiba to leave me alone already, Kiba wouldn't Ki bit him, which made him disire less to be an overly protective idiot. Ki betrayed me and said that She was just doing that because i told her to. which is a lie. and fallowed my brother and Akamaru."She said giving a short summery.

He just blinked, looking back to the direction Kiba had walked away in. It was confusing to say the least, though he didn't feel like admiting it. "Oh.."

Shika sighed and decided to go back to her training, she picked herself up and wondered if the kazekage was going to stay or leave already, she was wondering why the male who was two years maybe even three years older then she was even around.

Thinking over his talk with the girl, best friend to the one now infront of him, he couldn't help staying. It was as if it was a nessecity.. he didn't know, nor did he care. He merely crossed his arms and backed a few steps away to watch, knowing the girl was about to continue her training.

She just stood still... She turned to face him, "... May I help you Kazekage-sama?"She asked quizically.

"I am merely observing, pretend I'm not here.." He replied, his exspression staying the same, arms still crossed.

she shook her head, "I can't train when other people are staring at me... it's a pet peeve."She said crossing her arms and sighing as she held a kunai examaining the bladed edges almost hastily.
