Chapter 2

Natalie coughed up blood, falling to her knees.

"Natalie!" Aoishuerah said stopping

"Dai job'bu! Keep moving!" she shouted to her friend it was after all Aoishuerah they wanted, she was the one that needed to be safe. Aoishuerah gasped with pain and nearly fell Natalie caught her.

"Thanks" Aoishuerah said as the pain in her arm made her dizzy. Natalie pulled her up. For a few moments, both girls just knelt there gasping and trying to regain themselves.

"We're not going to make it," Aoishuerah said in despair.

"Yamerou!" Natalie snapped, "These tree's are well used their must be a village near by! We will reach there, don't give up…." Natalie's vision blurred she saw Aoishuerah try to stand up and just as she thought all hope was gone a picture of a red headed woman cam to her.

"Natalie, one day I will take you to Konoha…"

Natalie shook her head, 'I won't die here, and I will go to Konoha and find my father. Little did she know tat she was only a few miles from Konoha.

"Natalie, what about Shinjira?!" Aoishuerah gasped.

"Don't worry I sense her near by…we should reach her soon…" Natalie muttered back as her vision swayed.

"I hope your okay Shinjira…," she murmured.

(Flash back)

"Sugar! They're catching up!" Aoishuerah shouted to her friends.

"It doesn't matter, we won't lose!" Shinjira said in her soft voice

"Absolutely!" Natalie said smiling.

Behind the three confident girls, four guys sped towards them.

"Hidan take the blond in the middle, Kakuzu take the other blond" Itachi said "Me and Kisame will handle the Jinchuuriki" Hidan smiled as he sped forward and Kakuzu just nodded going after his target.

Shinjira's eyes widened as she sensed two people behind them. 'Shamatta! I won't make it!' she thought as she spun around just as someone tried to slash her with a scythe looking thing, with lightning speed she had raised hr arm and blocked. Hidan's eyes had widened wondering if she wanted her arm chopped of, But then he saw that a thick layer of ice had grown around her arm like a layer of armor, and at the same time she had with her other arm made a shield of ice blocking Kakuzu's attack on Natalie. Hidan smiled

"You're good," he said.

"Natalie, Aoiy, run!" Shinjira had shouted.

"We're not leaving you!" Aoishuerah had yelled back readying to fight Natalie had nodded in agreement following suit.

Shinjira smiled they were a good team. "Fine if so lets make it fair, one on one! Good luck" she had said and with that doing a jutsu, she had transported herself, Hidan and Kakuzu a little way away so that she could fight them both.

(End of flash back)

Natalie frowned "we fought one on one, and were nearly out of it and she fought two…"

"Don't give up! That's what you always say Natalie! We will find her," she said gasping in pain, not willing to believe that anything had happened to their beloved friend. Her prayer was answered as she saw a figure kneeling on a tree ahead.

"Shinjira!" Natalie shouted as loud as she could it only came out in a loud whisper. Aoishuerah grabbed her friends arm as Natalie stumbled.

"Thanks Aoiy…" Natalie said as Aoishuerah stopped in front of Shinjira. To their utmost surprise she was untouched looking as smooth as always and the only difference was, was that she was out of breath.

"How...what?" Aoishuerah asked happy that her friend was okay. Shinjira smiled

"I held them up and then ran so I didn't get hurt, do not worry about me, I'm glad you two are fine,"

Shinjira said smiling slightly as both girls smiled happily and then collapsed. Shinjira smiled and heaved both of them on to her back supporting one with each arm. She winced as her body shrieked in agony, her smile slowly slipped away as she tried to keep her illusion upon her self. Truth be told she was actually in a worse state then both of them. Her left legs tendons were totally destroyed her right arm was broken in three places, and her left in one place. Her body had slashes all over it from Kakuzu's whip like tentacles. She had a large hole in her left shoulder and one that was dangerously near her heart. Her ribs were broken and her spine had a crack in it, her neck also had a large slit in it and she was losing a lot of blood. Despite all this, she willed herself to go on. Hatake Shinjira was a radiant girl who had curly pale blond hair that she had placed in an elegant bun with curls flowing out; her skin was beautiful, she had grey eyes and was dressed in an elegant cream outfit. With high boots with a five and a half inch, slim heels. She wore a simple silver necklace. She was very elegant and a man would fall in love with her in a moment. She was a shimmering star.

She stopped as she saw some sort of village far beyond the trees, hoping that she could get her friends some medical care there, she sped up for all she was worth and once clear of the trees she jumped to the ground and as she was only using her right leg since her left was useless, she jumped the entire way until she saw the Konoha sign on the large gate which was open. She frowned as she realized it was the same sign as the one on Natalie's forehead protector. Aoishuerah's had a musical sign for the hidden village of sound and her own was blank. She took a deep shuddering breath, which underneath her illusion made her spurt blood from her neck and mouth. She used a technique to make the ninja bands including her own to look like they were from the waterfall villager and she also made all three of them into brunettes and changed their appearances. This was an excellent technique, which only could be removed if the caster removed it or died but you couldn't change the eyes of the person. So all three girls still had their same eye colors, taking another deep breath she stepped away from the trees where she had gone to use her technique's, she made her way towards the gates. Her whole body was killing and even her brain seemed as if she was going to die. As she reached the gate two men wearing the Konoha sign came towards her.

"May we help you?" one of them said

"Please…save my sisters…..they are badly hurt…" she said calmly and slowly as she was with all her might trying not to break down right there.

"Hmm we can't really let you in after all you don't have a pass," the second one said.

"Don't you have compassion?...keep me captive but please let them be taken care of I beg you…" Shinjira said her fake brown straight hair fell in front of her face. She had changed her looks completely; she knew if she were in her normal state, these men would have let her in, for she had the power of her beauty. Just as the men hesitated, Shinjira turned her grey eyes which hadn't changed and the beauty in them made them agree.

"Sure…I guess we could take them" each man took one girl each and commanded Shinjira to stay where they placed a binding seal on her, as to not let her leave. Shinjira sighed happily hoping that her friends would be okay. Just as she thought this and she thought that she could at least die gracefully, she felt the ground rumble loudly as a green blur passed her and raced into the village shouting

"This is the spring time of youth Kakashi!" and he zoomed away. This was the last that Shinjira heard for, as the second figure appeared she had collapsed hitting her head and the jutsu on her vanished and darkness surrounded her.

Kakashi frowned as Gai rushed in to the village. Ahead he saw a brunette standing bound with a seal in a circle. As the ground shook from Gai's footsteps, she lost her balance and fell. Kakashi thought that maybe she was tired, but when she hit the ground and Kakashi ran to her he heard a slight puff and when the smoke cleared it wasn't a brunette lying there but the most beautiful woman he had ever saw she was the most graceful exotic beauty he had ever seen, she put the fifth to shame. her face, hair, body, waist everything was absolutely-suddenly there was a another puff and when the smoke cleared this times Kakashi gasped for it now was the same beauty but she was now brutally wounded and blood was seeping out of her. With out another thought he picked her up and zoomed into the village taking her straight to where he could sense the fifth's Chakra, which strangely enough was coming from the Konoha hospital. As Kakashi jumped into the room where he could sense the fifth was in, he saw two other brunette's similar to what the beauty he was holding had looked like lying on two of the four beds. Kakashi jumped through the window and placed the young woman he carried on one of the two remaining beds.

"Kakashi! Who is that!" Tsunade said shocked as she looked at the girl that was practically covered totally in blood.

"I don't know, she was standing out side the village in a bind seal" Kakashi said as Tsunade hurried over and started to shout to Shizune and some other nurses for what she needed.

"Mankato and Iori told me they bound the woman these two young women were carried here by, but I don't know how that's possible, her wounds are worse then theirs" Tsunade said as she stopped one of the bleedings, "Shizune send for Sakura!"

"Hai" Shizune said and sent Mankato running.

"Kakashi…"

"mmm" Kakashi said turning to the fifth,

"Where have you seen this necklace before?"

Kakashi looked at the necklace around the wounded woman's neck and his eyes widened. Around her neck was a simple necklace with three hoops linked spaced out on the chain.

"If she has the same necklace as Uchiha Itachi it doesn't mean anything," Kakashi said quietly.

"You can never be too careful, I want three ANBU squads to guard this room, send the order," Tsunade said dismissively.
