Shen looked at her, then up to the moon. The akatsuki had ruined so many lives. He had to take them out, one way or another. Without looking back at her, he answered a simple "No." to her question. This poor girl too. Yet another victim. Shen'd eyes glowed a bright yellow in the moonlight. Teia.... he thought sadly.

Shana looked down "Who did they take from you..." She asked getting up brushing away some sand and tears

Shen looked at her when she asked and then off to the side angrily, his hand clenching into a fist. "They took my little sister from me...." he said angrily. He blinked away the few tears that he felt coming on. He was one of those guys that never cried.

"It seems like they try to crush families, like mine... Anna was my twin sister... well she was my adopted twin sister. Yours was your real sister right?" she asked picking up her sword and putting it in the case Anna, if your still with this world... come solid please...

Shen nodded. "Yeah...she was all I had..." He looked down. It was all too true. His parents had already gone, and the Kurabara clan refused to help him. Him and Teia had been on their own.

Shana nodded "Right when i lost Anna, my world flipped on me. I lost sense or everything! Did you fell like that?" she sighed

Shen nodded. "There's not a day I don't think about it...." he said, then sat down. "It's why I have to work so much. If I don't, I may just storm the akatsuki hideout on my own. But that's not gonna take'em down." I have to wait til their weak, and completely unsuspecting... he thought to himself.

Shana shook her head "Not by yourself your going, if that ever will happen I'm coming with. We could gather everyone who's family was taken by them and attack when their weak!"

Shen sighed. This girl was so enthusiastic. "Even when they are weak, they won't be taken down by a bunch of run-down villagers. Elite ninja have been trying to take them out for decades and haven't succeeded yet. You can't just waltz into the hideout and assume you're going to win. You need a well-rounded plan." He laid back and looked up at the stars silently. He'd been thinking of plans for a long time now.

Shana sat down and looked at the stars "I got it! An old trick I like to call: Betrayal!" she said. Everyone we can get, even some people of them too." (notice I don't say who) She smirked and crossed her feet and put her hands behind her head thinking.

"You don't think I haven't thought of that? They'll just go back and tell that good-for-nothing leader of theirs (if I ever face deidara, I'll get killed for saying that)," he said, then closed his eyes and listened to the waves. It sounded perhaps as if they were getting larger...

"I know people who know people who live with him. Side trace that Ass (hehe donkey) then Trick him into a trap. Then we go look for what we want to get rid of and let the Ass out!" Shana examined "Its fool prof!"

Shen looked at her with one eye open, then closed it again and shrugged. "Whatever you say." As good as that plan might've sounded in theory, nothing is ever as good as it sounds. Shen knew that through experience.

Shana sat back "Do you know how to bring someone back, to make them alive again without making a friken Zombie like in the movies?"

Shen sighed. "If I did, don't you think I'd have my little sister back already?" He said, trying not to sound harsh. What kind of question was that? Who knew how to bring people back from the dead? As far as Shen was concerned, it was impossible.

"I've heard of it being happened... if we could get our hands on that scroll... i think that would be it..." Shana said "Just how to get it...?"

Shen's eyes shot open and he sat up and looked at her. "What scroll? What're you talking about?" He said, almost over-excitedly. If there was a way to bring Teia back, there was nothing he wouldn't do.

Shana jumped and sent sand flying. Some went close the their faces. "Wow... little over excited. If i can remember right, its somewhere in the Magma... I shouldn't take it but... Ok maybe tomorrow we can try to find it, so get some rest tonight and meet me in the morning if you want" She knew he would

(You conniving little wench! XD)

Shen nodded. "Yeah, of course." He flinched when sand almost went in his eyes, but then sneezed. He was pretty sure some'd went up his nose though. "Where do you want me to meet you?"

(XD)

"The gates would be fine, if you want but we got to be careful because its pretty high guarded" Shana said "So i take it you'll be there"

Shen nodded. "Of course I will," he said, sounding downright determined. He laid back. There was a really slim chance he'd get any sleep tonight. Was there actually a way to bring Teia back to him? Or was this girl just pulling his leg? If she was, she'd soon regret it more than she'd regretted anything before.

Shana looked at him "Noon... Don't be late!" She thought for a moment what someone might think "And I'm not lying! So don't think that! I never thought the scroll would come min handy. Talk more later now you gonna go home or want to stay here?"

Shen glanced at her. It was almost if she'd read his mind. But he could feel, no one had read his mind since Lulu. "There's no point in me staying at my house, I'd get just as much done there as I would here. I'll stay here." He looked back up at the moon, his yellow eyes gleaming.

Shana nodded "I've got a small cabin over there" She said getting up grabbing her sword and puting it in the belt thing. She wrapped up her stuff and headed to the left "Coming?" she said

Shen bliinked. Didn't he say it clearly enough? He was fine where he was. Sighing he got up and shrugged. "Sure, I don't see why not." He followed her.
