Goodbye ...

if i-who cares ...
I just didn't have any ideas and now I wrote something that went through my head and that "sounds" okay for the story.
to those who read the kappi: have fun

Yumi followed the Sabakunos for a long time, more precisely until they stopped in front of the youth hostel. Actually, the blue-haired fighter wanted to talk to Gaara again, but then she heard a call. She grumbled softly: "Yes, master ..." and disappeared in the direction of Otogakure.

He ran. As fast as never before. The ground flew under his feet, branches lashed his face, but he paid no attention to her. All that mattered was being quick. ° There! °, it shot through his head. He skillfully stopped and crouched on a branch. He had felt her chakra. Slowly he raised a hand to push aside the sheets of paper that blocked his view of the girl. A thousand thoughts circled in his head. He just had to have clarity. Know it. Everything. NOW!Noiselessly, as it should be for a ninja, he pushed the green foliage aside and saw YOU.
Her long dark hair was loose, she had put on her kimono again. Her expression was hard and the Kunoichi stared in one direction. Then came a voice.

"Hello cloud."

Shikamaru paused. Was that desire in the tone of that creepy voice? The next few words made him angry.

“You want to come to me?” It was a statement, not a question. Kurumi snorted contemptuously.
"There can be no question of wanting here."
"Khihihi ...!"
"Besides, I'm already with you."
"Yes, but not yet completely. You are only acting for me."
"As if that wasn't enough ... you can still control me!"
"Khihihi .. Yes that's true. But if ..."
"... I come to you, you have all power over me. I know."
"I can do what I want with you."
"Thank you for pointing this out. I only agree with you on one condition ...""Which would be?"
"You won't fight Konoha for the next 7 years!"
Remain silent.
"... Kihihihi .. hihihiiii !! You are really a tough nut to crack, I have to give you that. But that's exactly what I love about you .. and your girlfriend. All right, you have my word."
"Directly and indirectly."
"I do that too. I have time ..."

Young Nara couldn't believe it. Kuurumi went to protect Konoha? She was an Otonin! Then why did she stand up for Konoha?

"Come out, Shikamaru, I noticed you a long time ago," said the creepy voice. Shikamaru shivered. ° Now it's over, ° flashed his mind. ° It wasn't much what I wanted from life ... ° The young ninja did his - so he thought - his last jump on the meadow. He looked at Kurumi, but Kurumi didn't look at him.
Then the person came up to him.

"Orochimaru!" Hissed the Nara.

"Exactly". answered the Sannin. "And I'm only here because of your little friend."Kurumi bit her lip.
° What ?! °, thought shikamaru and looked at Kurumi. "Is that true?" He asked her.
"..."
"Kurumi! Is - that - true?"
"Yes, damn it! I was a spy for Master Orochimaru, I studied the battle plans of Konoha, manipulated them and drafted a counter-plan!" Came the pale Kunoichi.
Orochimaru giggled while Shikamaru had to digest it all.
"No .." he muttered, stunned.
"Yes!" Said The Otonin, visibly amused. "Besides Kabuto, she is the best spy I have."
"And why did you send Yumi then?", Shikamaru's keen mind intervened.
"Tss ... you are really good. Even in such a situation you can use your mind. Yumi is Kurumi's best friend and probably the only one she listens to. She should bring her to reason and take care of it, not hers To give in to feelings. "
The question mark on Shikamaru's face could be clearly seen. Orochimaru laughed ironically."Just say you didn't notice!"
Kurumi, was getting angry and was already making plans for revenge against her worst enemy and master.
"But enough talked. You already know too much. Your life is forfeit!", The Kage from Otogakure got serious again and pulled 2 Senbons. ° No! °, Shikamaru only thought before he reflexively closed his eyes. But there was no pain. Timidly he opened it again and saw. that the needles were held by chakra. He followed this. "Kurumi ..?!", Nara muttered, completely taken aback.
With an angry look in the direction of Orohicmaru, the black-haired woman said: "You have probably forgotten what we agreed! You leave Konoha alone! And he belongs to Konoha!"
Shikamaru noticed Kurumi's anger build, fueled by her Master's malicious giggle.
"Leave it alone, cloud. You will come with me now .. And you!" - he looked at Shikamaru- "you won't say anything! Understood? You don't want something .. to happen." He threw an ambiguous look to Kurumi, who now came to him.Slowly they set off and left a Shikamaru Nara destroyed on the ground.

The last words Kurumi said to the person who meant everything to her, and because of whom she was now Orochimaru's serf, were:

"Never forget: it's all just a game. A dangerous game."

so, I hope I let i-who come to me for this totally delayed and bad kappi.
