Nami, Hinata and Shino were sitting at the ground facing each other. Nami was biting her lip and sucked a breath when Shino pulled out the little jar that had a roach inside.
Both the girls squealed in fear at the sight. Nami shuddered. "Crap, I really can't take those things, Shino. I'm not afraid of the insects inside your body but this is something different."
"Roaches don't live inside my body." Shino stated, putting the jar away. "But we can talk to them."
"Right." Nami muttered.
"B-but how d-do you talk to them, S-shino-kun?" Hinata stuttered out, holding on at Nami's arm.
Shino didn't have the chance to finish what he was saying when a bunch of roaches came running at their direction. Nami and Hinata shouted and screamed at the top of their lungs.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! SHINOOOOOOO. KILL THEM!" Nami shouted from the branch, she and Hinata were on. Her heart was beating really fast for that surprise, the same with Hinata.
Who the heck did that?
A laughter echoed at the place they were in, coming from the opposite tree. Hinata activated her byakugan and looked over there.
"It's Kiba-kun!" Hinata gasped.
Nami's eyes narrowed and asked Hinata where the exact location is. Nami nodded and grinned, thinking about what she will do. She disappeared beside Hinata and reappeared behind Kiba, transforming into Tsume.
"Hey, boy. You have guts to pull something like that." Nami copied Tsume's voice and had put an edge on each of her word to make it more scary.
"Kyaa!" Kiba screamed out of surprise and out of instinct, ran away from there and towards his team.
This time, Nami was the one who laughed so hard. It echoed over where the three are.
"HAHAHAHAHA. KIBA. WHAT WAS THAT? 'KYAA'? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. HOW GAY, KIBA." Nami was still laughing when she got out behind that tree. Hinata laughed silently, the same with Shino.
Kiba was full-on blushing. Glaring at Nami and his teammates who was laughing at him.
"Shut up, Damn it!" He shouted at them.

It sucked. What they were feeling at that moment sucked.
Hinata went home, sobbing. The other Hyuga members were surprised to see her sobbing like that but no one asked. They had let Hinata go to her house. The other Hyuga members noticed the devastation that was printed on Hinata and Neji's face. When Neji arrived earlier, he didn't talk to anyone. When others greeted him, he just passed by them. Now after a few minutes, Hinata came home, sobbing. She arrived at her house and was greeted by her father, asking her what was wrong. Hinata shook her head. But when her little sister asked what was wrong, she started crying and hugged her sister tightly. It almost made her pass out out of surprise when she saw her dead friend smiling at her on her room.
"I have a message from Nami, would you hear me out?" Nami's clone said softly. Hinata cried even harder, this isn't fair. Nami didn't forget and left them a clone to talk to them. Nami never forgets. She really can't accept the fact that she's already gone.
Shino was different. He isn't much to show his feelings. But his relatives knew he was sad. He wasn't talking or sharing things to them like usual. He just hid at his room, without making much sounds. A knock sounded at his door but he had no intention on opening it. The knocking continued for a minute. When it stopped, a voice shouted. "Are you going to open this or Am I going to force myself in? It's Nami, Shino. Would you hear me out on the message I left?"
Kiba's temper was the worst that day. Akamaru was staying silent, huddled inside Kiba's jacket. Kiba was snapping at everyone. He was angry at everything. He was trying hard to not feel affected by the news he received. But he can't. He needed to punch something to release what he was feeling so he decided to go to the training grounds. But it was different when a bunch of boys his age passed by him and were talking about something.
"Hey... Ya'know the news spreading around here? They said that Koizumi that was on our class died."
"I heard about it. How lame. She died because of a simple heart disease."
"Not much of a ninja-like way to die, huh?"
They laughed but was suddenly cut off when Kiba charged at them. "Ow-Hey! What the hell is your problem?!"
"Don't you fucking dare badmouth her like that." Kiba snarled, glaring at them. "You don't even know her. You don't know what she has been through. If there was someone to be called lame around here, it'll be you sissies."
When Kiba went home, he was full of bruises and cuts. Tsume and Hana were surprised at the look of Kiba when he got home, with Akamaru at his trail.
"What happened to you? You were beaten by Nami-chan again? She's already discharged at the hospital, right?" Hana joked, smiling at her little brother. The news hadn't gotten to her yet. That Nami was gone.
"The food is served you lazy moron. Eat up." Tsume barked.
It was as if Kiba didn't hear a thing. He continued walking towards his room. He talked to Akamaru earlier after he fought with the guys to leave him alone at his room for a moment. So Akamaru listened and stayed with Tsume and Hana.
"What's that kid's problem?" Tsume scowled, not happy with her son's behavior. Akamaru just whimpered, sitting at Hana's feet.
"She's dead." Kiba stated, not looking back at his family. "Nami's gone." And he closed his door, gripping at his doorknob. He leaned at his doorframe for a second and closed his eyes, calming himself. He is very close to exploding because of what he was feeling. He froze when he heard a voice behind him.
"What's up with that bruises? You had a fight or something?"
It was Nami. "I have a message. Would you hear me out?" Kiba whirled around. He knew it wasn't Nami anymore. He knew it was a clone.
