KiaroAs her footsteps echoed against the walls of the arena , Kiaro made her way out of hallway leading to the changing rooms . The words of the jonin repeated themselves in her head , mingled with Itame ' s last mutters . Itame . The weird kid that was sweet and kind , always in for a laugh and sometimes oblivious as a young child . It was going to be weird to follow Guran ' s training without him . To go on Konoha missions without him . Team 5 would never be the same again . She eyed the fighting grounds of the arena and discovered the forms of Kotomaru and Shinzo , in a shadowy form . No eerie shadow creatures were hunting them anymore . It seemed that they ' d disappeared just as fast as theirs had . And it was good to see that they were all here , still alive . With a big sigh and a dreading feeling she jumped down the wall and entered the grounds . As she approached them , she wondered how to tell them this . Her bottom lip started to quiver as she she let her hand touch Itame ' s bloodied scarf around her neck again . Her fingers were trembeling and she suddenly felt the urge to just run away and pretend like today didn ' t exist . That it all had been a big bad dream , that she ' d wake up and join her teammembers all of them for just another training . But she couldn ' t . Sad eyed laid themselves upon Kotomaru , who was just helping Shinzo up . Shinz . I uh . I need to tell you something . she started , her bottom lip quivering even more . uDarkTwilight 011 uItsa 2319
