It was pitch dark when Sora woke up from her sleep. Something had caught her attention. At least there was no other explanation for her sudden awakening. The young woman had made herself comfortable under a warm blanket and lay motionless on her side. Her eyes were still closed, but she had tensed every fiber of her body. Slowly her hand wandered under the pillow and felt there for the grip of her kunai when she suddenly felt a shadow over her. She turned around in a flash and just heard a metallic clink. As if frozen, she looked at the person opposite and was completely captured in the dark red eyes.
"Itachi!" She managed astonished. The Uchiha had easily blocked the young girl's attack and now looked at her piercingly. Thousands of questions and thoughts shot through Sora’s head, but she was so amazed that she could not bring them out and only slipped back a little. "How did you come here?", she asked, but didn't take her eyes off him." Not important! ", he said curtly, grabbed her wrist and pulled her up, which Sora didn't like at all." No! Let m ....! "But Itachi put a hand on her mouth and silenced her." Not a peep! ", he hissed at her and looked at her intently. The young Kunoichi looked at him bitterly, but kept her mouth shut when two more ninjas suddenly appeared and landed only a few meters behind the Uchiha. Sora recognized immediately that it was the two strange types were, which Shikamaru and she had already surprised. "Nice that you show up when I had to look for her myself. ", Itachi grumbled coldly, but did not look at the two of them. The ninjas exchanged a few glances, but did not contradict him and continued to look at him.
"What are we going to do with that one now?" The lanky guy asked and pointed dismissively at Shikamaru. Only now did Sora realize the Nara and found him chained to a tree.She suspected that this was Itachi's work and inwardly slapped herself for not having noticed anything. "I don't care!", The Uchiha replied curtly and only gave the Jonin a cursory look. Horrified, Sora had to watch as the stronger ninja grinned, took a kunai out of his pocket and threw it at Shikamaru with a short hand movement.

Bathed in sweat, Sora woke up and sat up, shaking slightly. It took a while until she realized that she had only been dreaming and let out a relieved breath when she saw Shikamaru next to her, leaning against a tree. The Nara was still soundly asleep and hadn't noticed any of this. The young Kunoichi, however, did not think about falling asleep again and instead looked up at the stars.
The next morning, the sun had just risen, the two ninjas were on their way to Suna again. There had been no further incidents last night, but Sora still looked tense and looked around frequently.The dream was still in her limbs, but she hadn't allowed herself to tell Shikamaru about it. The young woman could not forgive herself if something happened to someone who had nothing to do with the matter. -And especially if it was her fault.
But she quickly pushed this thought aside and tried to concentrate fully on her actual task again ....
