Chapter Two
A silence enveloped the forest, not even the sound of birds singing went throughout the air. The silence was broken by pairs of feet landing on water, small splashes resounding through the cavern.
"So you've made it."
Gai glanced to his left, the piercing gaze of Kakashi meeting his own. The male gave a quick thumbs up before making sure that all of the team was still there. A scream of recognition resounded throughout the cavern, a blonde pointing his finger towards the confused Ayame.
"Ayame-chan! You grew!" He gestured with his hands, making it seem like Ayame had grown a lot when in reality the girl had only gotten a couple inches taller.
Ayame scratched at her cheek with one finger nervously, smiling slightly. "Not really, Naruto. I only got a few inches taller!"
It was then that she heard the snickers of her sister and cousin, turning to them with an innocent look. Mayu gave a perverted grin, cupping her fingers around Ayame's breasts.
"He's talking about here, Ayame-chan~!"
Sakura seemed to realize this then as well, his face turning into that of irritation as she punched Naruto in the head, screaming about him being a pervert.
Ayame was now as red as her hair, the girl pushing her sister away from her body as she rushed behind Sakura, still blushing madly.
Kakashi held his hand up then, his eyes drifting throughout all the teams, stopping with a sweat drop when he saw Naruto rubbing a large bump on his head. The silver-haired man gestured towards the large rock behind him with a sigh.
"It's a five-seal barrier. All the seals need to be removed at the same time before we'd be allowed to get inside."
"Yosh! Let's all do this!" Gai shouted, his eyes scanning his team over. He wanted to take them all but he knew who he would most defiantly prefer.
"TenTen, Ayame and Neji. You will come with me, put these on if you will," He passed out small headsets to the three before continuing. "Lee, you will stay here and be of any assistance you can to Kakashi!"
Lee gave a salute, nodding at Gai with tears in his eyes. "Hai, Gai-sensei!"
The four jumped off in the directions of the seals when Neji specified where they were. Ayame glanced around at her surroundings, the trees seeming to mock her even if they weren't alive. She then noticed the seal hidden on the tree, rushing over to it just as Gai asked if everyone was ready. Ayame waited until she heard Neji and TenTen's voices before verifying her own location, ripping at the seal when Gai said too.
She gave a smile when she heard from Kakashi that it had been successful and that they were going in. Ayame turned, getting ready to head back until she heard a sound behind her. The girl turned with a frown on her face before her eyes widened, a small squeak coming from her mouth.
"You guys are seeing this as well, right?!" TenTen's voice echoed through the speaker, her fear and worry clearly evident.
Ayame was too starstruck to even answer, her eyes wide as she stumbled backwards. In front of her stood sickly looking girl, the girls red hair pulled up into a high ponytail and wearing matching clothes that matched Ayames. Her cheeks seemed to sink in, her arms and thighs thin. This was when Ayame realized that this girl was her.
"N-no way. ." She whispered, mainly to herself as she dodged rocks that seemed to fly at her. Her hands were instantly forming seals, mud shooting out of her mouth and at the clone. It was effortless however as the clone dodged it easily and then did the same attack.
Ayame wasn't so lucky, barely able to move as the mud hit her, throwing her small body back into a tree.
A small crack sounded throughout the area, Ayame's green eyes instantly filling with tears. She could tell something had broke as she tried standing on her leg but it instantly gave out underneath her. Her frail body wasn't meant to take hits like that, the time she had not eaten shown to be a downfall.
She watched at earth spikes shot up at her, the red-head's eyes scrunching closed as she prepared for the worst.
"AYAME!"
The girl's eyes shot open as she looked in front of her, her vision blurred as she noticed two female figures in front of her, blocking the earth spikes with their katana's.
"Miyu. . . Saki. ." The tears started to spill then, Ayame letting out a shaky laugh as she watch her cousin and younger sister easily bring the clone down before they both looked at her with smiles on their faces.
"You do the final blow, Ayame," They waited patiently as Ayame wobbled over, the girl's face turning angry as she brought her fist down. The clone seemed to shatter into plants, the being no longer there.
"We did it. . " Ayame mumbled, still ignoring her blurry vision. She couldn't shake the bad feeling that bubbling inside of her chest, the girl starting to cough. As she grabbed at her shirt, blood spewed from her mouth, staining the front of Miyu's clothes. The girl ignored it, her eyes wide as she looked at her sister's falling body.
With a thud, Ayame was unconscious on the floor, both girls scrambling over to her. Miyu pressed the button that was located on her headset, speaking through with a shaky voice.
"Kakashi-sensei, we'll be heading back to Konoha with Ayame! She needs medical attention and the only person we can trust is the hokage."
The two girls waited a few seconds before the headset gave them static and a faint reply that said it was okay from Kakashi. They faintly heard an explosion in the distance but they were more worried about Ayame in that moment.
Miyu picked her sister up, putting her on her back with the help of Saki. Both girls then sped towards Konoha, planning to never stop just so they could make sure Ayame was okay.
Neither was crying but neither said a word.

A blonde woman sat at her desk, grumbling about all the paperwork that was stacked almost as high as the ceiling. She glanced up as she heard shouting outside her office, jumping up instantly when the door slammed open.
"--- can't go in there!"
Miyu and Saki stood in front of the blonde women, dirt, sticks and injuries covering their bodies. Both girls seemed to be able to barely breath but they put up a fight when multiple ninja ran into the room, jumping in front of Tsunade as if to protect her.
The Hokage slammed her hand on her desk, her beady eyes narrowing at all the individuals that stood there. "Get out!"
She then rushed over to Miyu and Saki as she noticed Ayame on Miyu's back, not even wasting a second as she placed her hands on both girl's shoulders. It was then that they disappeared in a gust of wind, instantly reappearing in the hospital.
"H-hokage-sama!" Multiple nurses seemed to shout before noticing the three girls who stood with her.
"Get me a room immediately!" She waited a few seconds, studying the nurses who were just staring at her, causing an irk mark to appear on her forehead. "Are you deaf?! This girl could be very well dying and you're doing nothing!"
That got the nurses moving, Tsunade once more turning to the two girls who now had tears streaming down their faces. She took Ayame off Miyu's back, surprised that Ayame barely weighed more then a feather and gave a soft smile to the two.
"You two go and get your small injuries bandaged. Miyu, get a new set of clothes. You have blood all over that one," With that said, Tsunade walked down the hallway where multiple nurses were waiting, Ayame in her arms.
It's going to be okay. Miyu, Saki, Ayame will be okay.

A boy ran down the hallway of the hospital, not sure why he was rushing. He wasn't even sure if he was allowed to see her yet but when the news that she was back and hurt got to him, the boy couldn't help but run to the one place he knew she would be.
With a skidding stop, he stopped in front of the room that she was always in whenever she came to the hospital. His breathing was hard, having run faster then he ever had. He may have been lazy but for this one girl, he would show how much he actually cared.
He would win her over with every ounce of effort he had.
Without a second thought, the boy pushed open the hospital door to her room and felt his breath get caught in his throat.
Another boy sat at her bedside, leaning against his hand as a large white dog laid it's head in his lap, seeming to smile as the boy pet the dog. A girl with long blonde hair stood by the window, her blue clothes catching the light of the sunlight that spilled through.
That was when he saw the girl he had come for laying in the hospital bed, peacefully sleeping. it made his heart leap, just knowing that she was now safe and out of harm's way.
He made his way into the room, attracting the attention of the dog, boy and girl. A grin snaked it's way onto the other boy's face as he gave a nod to him.
"Didn't expect to see you here. Didn't expect to find myself and Kiyomi here either, guess life's just full of surprises these days. Right, Shikamaru?"
