Living in the shadows (Shikamaru's sister story * Naruto fan fiction)

Chapter 10 - Night before mission

I was on my rock in the forest at night. Yes, I sneaked out to be here on the night before we go on our first C-rank mission.

I had been there for an hour when I felt a familiar pressence coming towards me.

'Why are you here Shikamaru?' I spoke up without turning to him. 'You will go on a misson tomorrow. You should rest.'

'The same goes for you sis.' He sat down next to me.

'It doesn't matter how I beg you, you won't leave my side, am I right?' I whispered resignedly.

He didn't answered just looked up to the starry sky.

'Look up sis, a falling star! He said after a long silence. I looked up and made my wish. A wish in order to have a sucessful mission.

'I think we should go now sis. You will be tired tomorrow.'

'I will be there for some more time, if you don't mind.' I said. He looked at me. I could see the surprise on his face. I have never showed him any sign of defiance before. 'I said I want to be alone for a little while to cool my head down. You can go back without me.'

He didn't replied, just turned back and walked away. I felt relief. I needed to be alone for what I wanted to do.

I slued out a scroll onto the cold stone. I had swiped this scroll from an office a while ago. It was a summoning. I knew how should I do it, so I began. After cutting my finger I made the proper handsigns and placed my wounded hand on the paper.

'Summoning jutsu!'
