Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto in anyway!!

Warning: Time laps in the next few chapters! Slight OOC! An OC! Smart Naruto! Innocent Itachi!

Slight spoilers not much though. But there are spoilers, so if you haven't gotten to the new manga chapters then don't read till you do.

Pairings: SasuNaru, ItaAki, LeeSaku, KibaHina, NejiTen, TemShika,

Now to just make everything clear right now, the time trip hasn't happened yet. And Aki will be a main character throughout the story. If you have problems with OC chars then please stop reading right now and move on. I don't want someone bashing because I may focus a little on Aki at times. But don't think I won't be doing some SasuNaru lemons, cause I will! DUH it's a SasuNaru fanfic! But just for the record, I will not be doing any sex scenes between them for one reason. Twelve year old boys and sex should NOT go together. So I'm not going to write about it. But I will write about it either later on in this story, or a sequel I'm not too sure at this moment. But there is some lemons, so don't think it's not rated M for no reason. Thank you for reading, and ENJOY!

Chapter 2

"Aki's a strong girl. I mean come on she's an Uzumaki and an Uchiha…" Naruto's eyes went wide and looked up at Sasuke who was staring at Ellexys with disbelief.

"What did you say?" He asked and Ellexys looked to Naruto for help, who pulled away from Sasuke. There was a long silence before Ellexys talked again.

"You didn't know…" She trailed off when he shook his head no. Again Ellexys turned to Naruto for help and he sighed.

"Aki would have probably liked it better if she told you, but seeing as she's not here, and Ellexys slipped, I have to now." Naruto shifted to face Sasuke as he talked. Sasuke shifted away from him so he could look at him as well.

"Aki's father was Hayate Uzumaki my mother's brother, meaning she's my cousin." Sasuke felt his heart come back at that but still listened on ignoring the emotion. "And her mother was Aina Uchiha." Naruto explained.

"But how did she survive the massacre?" Sasuke asked.

"Because she wasn't there, before she was born Maokio came to Hayate, and Aina. Maokio asked to be sealed inside of her, but she didn't want anyone to know. Because of who the demon was, they agreed for fear of their lives and the village. When Aki was born they sealed Maokio inside of the baby. Two years later Hayate and Aki disappeared and weren't seen after that." Ellexys said. Naruto stood and wiped the remaining tears away.

"As for the rest of her life, you'll have to ask her." Naruto said as he was wiped the tears off his cheeks.

"Aina Uchiha, I've never heard of someone of that name." Sasuke said.

"That's because she wasn't in the main Uchiha circle, yes she lived on the estate but she closed herself off from everyone when her son supposedly died. Then when she and my dad had a baby she became happy again and then my dad left with me she became ere quiet, and wouldn't talk to anyone. A few years later she died from a sickness that had taken over her body." Everyone turned to see Aki in the doorway with a small smirk on her face.

She wasn't in the dress that Sasuke had seen her in. No, she had a white tank top on with a black fishnet with sleeves coming to her elbows, over top. She had on a pair of black cropped pants that came just slightly past her knees, pockets all over. Aki had on a pair of black sandals. Her hands had red fingers less gloves, and her black hair was pulled up into a high pony tail, her bangs had been left out. She had a bright smile on her face as she looked over the three in the room. Aki's blue eyes scanning over each one.

"AKI!!" Naruto yelled and tackled Aki, causing them to fall to the ground making everyone in the room surprised. Even though Sasuke knew they were family, he couldn't help but feel a tang of jealously, although he still ignored it.

"I thought you were dead! How could you do that to me?" Naruto screamed at her as tears weld up in his eyes again. Aki smiled and held Naruto as he cried.

"Shhh… Naru-Chan." Naruto looked up at her and she wiped his tears away.

"A crying face on my Naru-Chan doesn't suit you. Please don't cry. I'm sorry, I just didn't want you to get evolved with my problems; you still had to bring Sasuke back remember? Besides I wasn't just going to stay away forever. As a matter of fact, I was going to come and get you after I finished up here, but now you're here, so I don't have to worry." Aki hugged him once again before placing a kiss on his forehead. She gave him a wink and then helped him stand up. Naruto nodded before turning to his stunned friends. He gave them a foxy grin before scratching the back of his head in his nervous act.

"Is she you're lover Naruto?" Asked Sai who was looking at Aki weary. Hinata fainted who was caught by Kiba, Sakura smirked evilly at Naruto, Kakashi had a smirk on his face at least from what they could tell, and Shino just stared at him. Ellexys and Den broke down into a laugh and Ellexys had to hold her stomach. Aki giggled as well, even Sasuke gave some sort of amused sound. Naruto just paled except for the pink tint on his cheek.

"NO!" Naruto yelled back at them, and Sai raised an eyebrow.

"She's my cousin! That would be like… incest! EWWW!" Naruto screamed at Sai.

"Cousin, I though you didn't have any family?" Sai asked and retreated back when Aki and Sasuke glared at him.

"Neither did, I until Jiraiya and I found her when I was training. She freaked out on me and then I found out later she and I were related." Naruto said and hugged Aki around the waist making her look at him, her face softened and then she nodded. Sasuke cleared his throat and Aki looked at him confused before smirking at him, causing a blush on his face to appear, which didn't go unnoticed by Sakura.

"Alright we have to get down to businesses." Aki said and moved away from Naruto and walked to a desk. She sat down and pulled out a map of the country. Everyone gathered around her.

"I want all of you except, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura to go to the points in red." Aki explained and then looked at Kakashi. "Kakashi I need you to run these because of you're smart and can do what I planed. We need to make a big enough uproar that will make the town focused on that instead of Akio. Once Akio is wiped out…" Aki stopped and sighed.

"Once he's out of the picture, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and I will be able to make it to intercept the groups of men." Aki got up and went to a shelf, she pulled out six red cloths and gave out to every except for the three she was taking.

"If you wear these then the others will know you're the backup. You will be able to tell the others who are helping because they too will have these on them somewhere. It doesn't matter where you put them, just have them on you're body and visible." Everyone nodded.

"How come I don't get one?" Naruto complained. Aki sighed and looked at her cousin.

"Naruto you don't need one." Aki said then turned back to everyone. "Ellexys will show you where to go, and split you up into groups of three." Aki pointed to Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. "You guys are coming with me, Ell do you have that ready yet." Ellexys's eyes lit up, and nodded quickly before running across the room and opening one of the many cabinets. She pulled out a red bracelet and then she tossed it to Aki who caught it expertly. Aki gave a sly smile before she slipped the bracelet onto her wrist over her glove.

"Thanks Ell!" Aki explained and hugged her friend. "You are sure that it'll work right?"

"Like a charm." Ellexys answered. Aki smiled.

"Good." She turned to her cousin. "Let's go then." They nodded.

"Aki, Akio would like to see you." One of the guards said to the figure in the dark room. She turned and nodded. She was once again in that elegant red dress that reached the floor and looked was too difficult to move around in.

"Did you get the new guards into their outfits yet?" Aki asked him. He gave a smile.

"Sure did, I hope this works Aki." She walked up and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry about it. Everything will work out; just make sure they are in the right place at the right time." Aki said and then continued down the hall towards the ball room.

Upon entering said ball room she quickly spotted her fiancé, and made her way over to him with a fake smile on her face. He turned towards her and the rest of the people bowed their heads in return. Aki went up to Akio and gave him a kiss on the lips. Akio was a few inches taller then her. He had short dark brown hair that was brushed back and framed his face nicely. Bright green eyes looked down at her, with emotions that Aki had learned that were fake, or at least some.

"You wanted me honey?" Aki asked as she felt Akio's hand rest on her waist.

"Yes, I would like you to meet my associate. Aki this is Pain." Aki's eye's slightly widened but quickly became slightly narrow as she got a better look at the man in front of her. His hair was blonde to a light red and spiked in most places. He had pricings everywhere, through his nose, his bottom lip, and both of his ears where covered in pricings. His eyes were red; they had circles all the way through them. So those are the eyes huh? He had on a black cloak with red clouds.

He looked Aki over twice, before giving a slight bow then moving his attention back to Akio. Aki scowled on the inside before casting a look over to the shadows that held Sasuke. He nodded before slipping out of the room. Aki sat with Akio and Pain for a few hours as they talked about businesses, Aki barely listened and kept her attention outside as she watched the rain pound harder on the ground. The sun was going to be setting soon, even if they couldn't see it from all the rain clouds. That's when she felt it, a surge of energy from outside. She knew Pain felt it because he tensed.

"What wrong Pain?" Came a woman's voice from behind him.

"Someone has affected the rain. Who ever it is is really strong. Something to watch out for Akio, it might be vital in our plan." Pain said and then Aki felt the hand on her waist tighten then release all together. Aki gave her fiancé a questioned look before understanding the look he gave her.

"Check it out." He ordered Aki. Of course I'm only here to protect you right? That's what she wanted to say, but didn't she just bowed and left the room quickly. She turned down a hall and ran right into the very person she was looking for.

"Naruto, come." Was all she said before walking past him, Naruto wordlessly followed. Once they got near the entrance of the building she grabbed two cloaks and handed one to her cousin. They were just simple black rain cloaks. They walked out of the building and Aki pulled the hood up as did Naruto. She motioned for him to follow and headed off towards the Chakra source, and further into the city. Naruto quickly fell in step behind her.

As they were nearing the chakra source Aki started to realize who it was. She laughed and then took to the roof tops; Naruto gave a confused face but followed anyway. Their speed was faster, and they left foot marks on the roof tops or shingles fell off. Then Aki stopped when she finally spotted her target they were peering out of an old alleyway.

"That white hair is a dead giveaway." Aki said to Naruto, who again gave her a confused face. It was then she pointed out his master, and he gave a slight chuckle, before nodding in agreement.

"Well he stepped into the rain that Pain formed in the city. Pain could feel him the moment he did it too. They sent me out to look for him, and dispose of him."

"Then why did you bring me along?" Naruto asked as they watched Jiraiya walk down the street towards them.

"Because Pain is the 'leader' of Akatsuki, I didn't want him to see you there since you are now his target. I didn't think he would come, you're going to have to lay low." Aki said as Jiraiya closed in on them. Naruto nodded as Jiraiya was about to pass the ally that they were hidden in.

Jiraiya was just passing an old ally when a hand shot out and grabbed him, and pulled him off the road and started down the ally. They got half way down the ally when Jiraiya finally understood what was happening, and prepared for a fight. He had two attackers and both wore gray cloaks that hid their faces. But before he could do anything to his attackers he was whipped into a door that had come out of no where, and thrown into a chair.

"You know I don't like calling my teacher an idiot, but in this case I'll make an exception. YOU'RE AN IDIOT!" The cloaked person yelled the last part. It was a women's voice, Jiraiya was sure of that.

"I have to agree with her. You really are Ero-Sennin." Jiraiya eyes widened at his nickname.

"Naruto?" Jiraiya asked. The second cloaked figure removed his hood to reveal that mess of golden hair, and the stunning blue eyes.

"Then who is-" Jiraiya went to say but as the first persons hood went down he wasn't sure if who he was seeing was real or not.

"Hey Jiraiya it's been a while huh." Aki said to him. Jiraiya eyes widened even more, if possible, then pushed his self out of the chair and pulled Aki into a hug. Naruto chuckled and Aki was wide eyed at her teacher's antics.

"Get off me you pervert!" Aki screeched at him before giving him a good hit in the face for good measure. By now Naruto was laughing his ass off as he watched Jiraiya fly back a few feet from her hit to the face. Jiraiya stood and nursed his already bruised face as he put on a pout.

"I was just being friendly." He said.

"Friendly my ass!" Aki yelled at him, then took a needed deep breath and looked him in the eyes with a serious face.

"What are you doing here?" She asked him. Jiraiya let his hand fall and shot a glance at Naruto.

"I could ask the same thing with you two." He shot back at her.

"I'm here because this is where I've been for the past year. Naruto's here because I asked him to be here. You on the other hand shouldn't be here. You've already disrupted my plans enough." Aki said and sat in an empty chair. Jiraiya gave her a confused face before sitting back down in the chair he had been thrown into. Naruto also sat down in a chair as well.

"Plans?" Jiraiya asked.

"Yes plans and because you were careless Pain felt you enter the town." Jiraiya's eyes widened at her statement.

"How?" He asked.

"The rain, he controls it and can tell how powerful a person is where they enter it." Aki pulled on her bangs.

"What about Naruto then?" Jiraiya looked to Naruto as he held up a necklace.

"Ellexys made it. This necklace conceals our true power." Naruto said with a grin. Jiraiya suddenly perked up as something Aki said sank in all the way.

"Pain, isn't he the leader of Akatsuki?" Aki nodded, she knew he would blow up sooner or later. Jiraiya stood up quickly knocking the chair backwards in the motion. "Then why the hell would you bring Naruto here! Do you want him to be taken by them?" Aki stood up and leveled her self with the old man.

"Listen, I would never do anything to harm Naruto, I'm no traitor! I won't betray my own family! I brought him here to help with my plans. Pain still doesn't know who he is and hasn't seen him! Naruto's the behind the scene man!" Aki growled at him and Jiraiya backed off from her.

"Some one betrayed you again didn't they." He said in a sad voice.

"It doesn't matter!" She snapped back at him and then began to dig in her bag. She pulled out a similar necklace and tossed it to Jiraiya.

"Keep it on while you're in this town." She then turned to Naruto. "Take him to Ellexys she could use the help." Jiraiya stood up and started to wave his hands.

"Wait. I'm on a mission. What do you know about Pain and what he's planning?" He demanded. Aki smirked and turned back to him when she saw Naruto nod at her demand.

"Jiraiya, Pain is working with someone that was close to me and he think's I still love him. Akio is the man he's working with, or more like toying with to make his plans come through. Akio is starting a war to prove Akatsuki's point, I'm not sure what that point is, but this is just entertainment for Akio. There are people who want to kill him so he found me, and led me to believe I was in love with him." Aki turned her face away to hide the tears that were forming. "I'm going to stop him even if it kills me. I've joined up with that group, and through Akio I know where the main base for Akatsuki is, and because of Mao, I know how to destroy it." Aki said and then turned to walk out side.

"You're still in love with him aren't you?" Jiraiya said under his breath.

"No not anymore. Not after he is helping the person who wants to kill Naruto. I care for Naruto more than anyone. Now follow him and I'll head back and tell them… something." Aki said and then disappeared.

Jiraiya looked to Naruto who had a tear running down his cheek. He wiped it away and then looked his teacher in the eyes.

"Let's go." He said then went to the other door in the room and threw it open. Jiraiya nodded and followed his student.

The rain was pounding harder then ever outside as Aki entered the building once again. It was a large building that had several floors. She had every nook and corner mapped out in her mind. The party is going to be on one of the higher floors where they had perfect view of the city. Aki smirked as she placed her cloak on one of the racks. She walked down the hallways and was about to enter the stairway when she was grabbed and forcibly pulled into a room and onto a couch. Aki looked up at her attacker to see someone she didn't suspect, and that was Pain who stood towering over her with an emotionless face.

"Did you find the person who disrupted my rain?" He asked in a monotone voice. Aki sat up a little and nodded her head yes.

"It was a leaf Nin Sir. I'm sure they suspect that you're here." Aki said to the man who nodded.

"And what did you do with the leaf Nin?" He asked and sat down next to her.

"I killed him." Aki stated as if it was the simplest thing in the world. Pain looked as if he was thinking it through before he nodded. Aki went to stand up but was pulled down by Pain who pinned her to the couch. Aki narrowed her eyes at the man.

"What do you want?" She asked with slight venom in her voice. Pain smirked at her.

"I don't believe you. How could you take out a powerful Nin and not have a scratch on you?" Pain asked as he looked her up and down again, and Aki cringed at the thought of him looking at her.

"He wasn't that powerful, it was fairly easy. Besides I can do medical jutsus, I don't think Akio would want me to come to a party all scratched up." Aki answered with a hint of sarcasm. Pain seemed to take it as he got off of her and walked to the door.

"He better be dead for you're safety. I don't do well with people betraying me. I'm sure Akio wouldn't want his fiancé to be dead." Pain said.

"I wouldn't think of it." Aki lied than added. "I know you're reputation. No one knows who you are really, except a few people you allow. You also killed off an entire clan by you're self. I'm not stupid, I know where I stand." Pain smirked before he left the room. Aki scowled at the door for a few seconds then sat back up.

Great he's suspicious of me now.

You don't know that. Just keep with the plan everything will work out fine. Besides with Jiraiya this could work out more then ever. Mao reassured her.

You're right Mao thanks. Aki said in her head and then stood. She took a step and stopped when the door opened, and in shuffled Sasuke and Sakura.

"Is everything okay?" Sasuke asked as he shut the door.

"I'm fine. Pain's just wanted to make sure I got rid of a little problem that's all." Aki said to them. Sakura nodded and Sasuke just remained quiet and unmoving.

"Where's Naruto?" Sasuke asked finally, Aki chuckled slightly.

"Yeah Jiraiya came to Rain and that's who Pain felt, so Naruto took him to Ellexys." Aki said with a knowing voice towards Sasuke. Sasuke nodded not catching the hint in her voice, although Sakura did who smirked at Aki.

"Alright let's get back there before something else happens." Aki said and the other two nodded and they left the room quickly. The other two went off towards their position the party was going to start soon.

"Make sure Naruto stays hidden Sasuke." Aki said as he went to walk down the hall he turned and nodded to her before leaving again. Aki sighed.

I really do hope this works out Mao.

Don't worry so much it'll work. All we have to do if find out where it is so we can destroy it. But are you sure you want to do this you could –

Mao this is for Naruto, if we don't, something could happen to him. I don't care if it coasts my life. We finally got a lead, and we are taking it whether he likes it or not. I know he'll be hurt but he has every, I just hope that Sasuke will admit his feeling towards him... Mao sighed inside her mind.

Fine but I'll try and do anything I can to make sure you don't die. Aki nodded before walking back to the ball room where her fiancé was waiting. She walked in and straight to Akio she kissed his cheek, and felt that hand go back to her waist again. He gave a squeeze and she looked at him who had a questioned face. Aki nodded and he calmed then went back talking with the others around them. Aki glanced at Pain who was across the room watching her intently. She nodded to him with a smile before making it look like she was listening to the conversation around her.

The party was to start in a half an hour. Akio would make a toast and have his little speech. There would be a band playing soft music as the other people talked amongst themselves, much like they were doing now. Aki had to get away to tell the others the party was going to start. She leaned up and kissed Akio on the cheek before leaving his grasp.

"I'm going to freshen up before the party honey." Aki said sweetly she received a quick nod and then she walked off. She noticed Pain watching her as she walked out of the room. Aki walked down the hallway and into the bathroom where she stared at her refection. Her refection soon turned to a girl around the same age; she had long white hair with black tips. Her eyes where a baby blue with white and black mixed in, she also had a silted pupil like a cat. There were white ears with black tips on the top of her head, instead of ears. The women smiled at her showing off the two front canines. Her whiskers were a white and stuck out of her cheeks a few inches.

"Looks like he is suspicious of you Aki, he was staring at you the whole time. Be careful."

"I knew I should have beaten the shit out of the pervert before giving him that necklace. It would be more believable" Mao snickered in the refection.

"That would have been all to fun. But what's done now is done; we'll just have to go with it for now."

"I hope you're right that Akio knows where the wear about of Akatsuki's main base is Mao, for Naruto's sake this can't go wrong. Oh god what if Pain knows Naruto's here?"

"Yeah I hope so too, but I'm pretty sure he knows. And Aki calm down, that's the real Pain there, no clone. If Pain knows Naruto's here, then he isn't doing anything about it yet. Just keep an eye on him and be calm." Aki nodded to the reflection.

"Alright now contact the others and tell them to get ready and start soon." Mao said before the reflection disappeared and once again it was Aki's face on the mirror. Aki pulled the bracelet up to her mouth, pressing a small button before talking.

"Ell. Can you hear me?" Aki asked.

"Loud and clear." Ellexys said on the other end.

"Did Naruto get there with Jiraiya okay?" Aki asked.

"Yep sure did, he should already be back at the hotel. Sasuke's with him." Aki sighed with relief.

"Alright the party is going to start soon, so tell the others to get ready. In twenty five minutes tell them to go I won't be able to with me being in the ball room." Aki said.

"Sure thing. You have everything you need right."

"Yeah everything should go as planned, just make sure they all go off at the same time."

"Yep good luck Aki."

"You to Ell." Aki said and then put the head set back inside her bag. She looked back into the mirror and gasped. Behind her stood a women with short black hair, her eyes were a brownish color. But what really stood out was the Akatsuki cloak. Aki ducked as a kunai embedded it's self into the mirror. Aki smirked and flipped backwards out of the way of many more daggers.

Mao I don't think we'll need Akio.

Ah yes I think you are right. Don't kill her, remember we need to see inside her mind for us to get the information, and then you can kill her. Aki nodded before doing a few hand signs. The bathroom was now an open field with no exits or entries. The Akatsuki member's eyes went wide as she looked left from right. Last time she remembered she was in a bathroom not in a clearing of a dense forest.

"I must tell you I'm not the only person who is in this forest lady." Aki said as she stepped into the clearing.

"I'd be careful if I was you not to run into the other she might not like being waken up by a stranger." Aki said with a sly smile. The lady looked at Aki with wide eyes.

"What are you talking about this is just an illusion. I'm really in a bathroom." The Akatsuki member said and started to gather energy and released it but everything stayed the same. Aki had a smug look on her face as the other looked around frantic again.

"Like I was going to say it's no illusion. This is my training grounds, you're lucky you are the second person to ever step foot in this place. But before we fight might I know the name of my opponent, I'm sure you know mine." Aki said with a slight smile. This was fun she hadn't even done anything to the Akatsuki member and she's already freaking out.

Stay on your guard Aki! You don't know what she has up her sleeve! Roared Mao in her mind. Aki nodded and prepared a fighting stance. They lady stopped looking frantic and turned to Aki with a fascinated look on her face.

"My name is Shun. You know it's not my place since I was only sent to keep an eye on you. But if Pain knew of this strength, he would probably ask you to join Akatsuki. So what do you say, come and fight with Akatsuki, join us." Shun said with a smug face. Aki stood straight up and thought for a second by putting his fingers to him chin in a mocking pose before activating her Sharingan and glaring at her.

"I'm sorry but as tempting as that sounds, I just wouldn't betray Naruto like that." Aki said with venom in her voice. Shun flinched at the Sharingan she had heard of it before but never had seen it. She knew Itachi had the Sharingan but she had never really seen him in person she was new in Akatsuki after all. But what really hit her was the fact that the girl had the Sharingan the last she heard the only survivors with Sharingan were two boys not a girl. She was snapped out of her thoughts when Aki spoke again her voice didn't have the venom in it as much this time.

"You're names Shun that means speed. So are you fast? Lets find out." Aki said and disappeared. Shun's eyes widened when she appeared in front of her. Aki smirked and kneed the girl in the stomach. Shun doubled over and blood spit out of her mouth. Then there was a puff of smoke and a log fell to the ground in replace for her enemy. Aki wanted to smirk but instead made a frantic face and looked around quickly. She felt two weapons fly through the air towards her. Aki flipped over them and sank into the grass.

"Did I mention that this is my playground you can't win Shun." Aki's voice boomed around the area.

Mao are you coming yet?

Yes I'm coming you know very well that I'm half way a crossed this place. Mao said. Aki smiled before she flipped behind Shun who had been hiding in one of the trees. It wasn't a surprise that disappeared in a puff of smoke again this time it was a shadow clone. Great I'm fighting a Naruto. Aki said then smirked. This might be at least a little changeling, but what else would I except from Akaksuki. She felt the buzz of a kunai through the air but it wasn't aimed at her no it was aimed at the explosive tag next to her. Aki cursed and jumped away just in time to set off another trap with string. When the hell did she set up these damn traps? Aki asked herself furious as she dodged a series of kunai and shiriken that had been attracted to her.

She didn't idiot those where there before! You forgot to unset them, she's just using them! Aki felt extremely stupid she hadn't remembered setting them up before. She landed only to shift her feet some more before she jumped away from another dozen of weapon coming towards her. This time it wasn't a trap and she knew it, they came from the trees and Aki knew where she was.

Aki hid herself in the trees long enough to create two clones send both around the sides and then the real one walked forward into sight.

On her right side her clone disappeared and Aki quickly shot a poison needle towards where her clone was. It hit her target because she heard a grunt before something heavy hit the ground. Aki sent another clone to investigate only to be defeated the moment it stepped into the forest. At this she frowned. Mao was going to be here soon and she needed to get back to the party. It pissed her off that this girl wasn't cooperating right.

"It's time to stop playing Shun." Aki spoke clearly and then closed her eyes. She felt for her this was her place she had created it. It wasn't long until she felt her chakra, it was coming at her from behind which meant that in front of her where just a series of clones. Aki seemed to look weak to make Shun think she was just a child. It worked; Shun came out and shot a series of attacks at Aki who dodged them easily.

"Come now Shun is that all you have for me?" Aki teased to the girl and her killing intent heightened. Aki activated her Sharingan while Shun wasn't looking at her and when Shun looked her in the eyes Aki smirked knowing it was over. Shun stopped all moving and just stood there staring at Aki with a dazed look in her eyes. Aki's smirk grew larger.

You almost here Mao?

Coming right up to you in a minute. Did you stop her?

Yep trapped her in the Sharingan, she thinks she still fighting me.

You know what that does to you when you use that!

I know I know, I'll be fine no worries. It's not taking up my chakra; this girl doesn't even realize and when she finally does it'll be too late.

Eh fine. Go blind! I don't care!

I won't go blind! I haven't yet, it's because of my blood limit's I'm able to do this more then Itachi and not go semi blind. Besides I can heal myself, I did it to Itachi when he was blind.

Yeah I guess, alright I'm here. Aki didn't turn away from Shun if she did the eye contact would break and she would come out of it. After a moment Aki felt something on her waist, it was Mao's hands.

You ready?

Yes just let's do this. We have to get back soon.

You're fault for putting her here and not closer to me!

Well I'm sorry. Aki reached out and gripped Shun's chin and brought it closer to her face. The Sharingan changed into 'her' Sharingan. Her eyes were still red but with a black pupil and it was slitting down her eyes. Like cat's eyes in the light, there where also two thin black lines that if you connected them they would be circles, they moved down and disappeared under her eyes. Then reappeared at the top, mimicking the moment over and over. Shun gasped when she came out of her illusion and she couldn't break the eye contact no matter how hard she tried. It was as if those eyes pulled her towards her and they did, Shun took a step forward, close enough to kiss Aki. It was then her mind slipped away and she couldn't think anymore.

Mao keep Aki from falling as visions flashed though Aki's head. All of the Akatsuki's bases flashing though her mind at once. She watched until it hit a vision of a large wall with dozens of eyes on it. Not dozen it was nine to be more precious. They were big, and in the middle was someone's head with its mouth opened wide. Two large hands stuck out from underneath the ground in order to support the Akaksuki members. Aki smirked she had found it. She let the visions run a few more minutes showing her how to get there and the right place. Then she broke the contact breathing heavily. Shun fell to the ground he body weak from being invaded. Even Aki was panting slightly.

I'll handle the rest you get back to the party Aki. Mao told her and Aki merely nodded and before she knew it was back in the bathroom with Shun on the ground and Mao standing next to her.

"Go." Mao told her and she nodded and left the bathroom with Mao to clean up the mess.

"What's taking her so long?" Sasuke wondered out loud as he stood holding a tray full of drinks for the party. He was standing close to the door just like she had said. But she was exposed to be in the room and she wasn't.

"Don't worry; I'm sure she'll be here." Sakura said. She stood next to him. It was supposed to be Naruto's job, but since Pain was here he had to take Sakura's position and that was behind the scene. Naruto was to insure that they got out quickly so they could get to the two parties to intercept what ever misfortune was going to happen.

"She was supposed to be here ten minutes ago. The party is going to start any minute. Meaning that everything is going to go down in ten minutes if Aki's not here what do we-" Sasuke stopped as Aki walked in, looking a little more paler then normal, making Sasuke feel slightly worried.

Aki stepped up to him, and took two glasses off the tray. She sipped on hers and then nodded at the two, who nodded back. Sakura left with her tray of cheese on a stick, and made her way across the room. Sure to be hidden in the crowd so that Pain didn't recognize her at all. Aki glanced at Pain, who was talking with some blue haired girl next to him. She then proceeded to head to her fiancée with both drinks in her hands. When she got to him he smiled to her which she returned, and handed him a drink.

"Thank you darling. The speech will be staring in a second; a cool drink is very thoughtful." Akio said and wrapped his arm around her waist and gave a tug towards him. Aki smiled at him sweetly, even if it was a fake smile he couldn't tell, no one could for Aki had learned from the best on how to cover up their emotions. Being an Uchiha helped a lot as well. Aki looked over to Pain, again who to her surprise, was glaring at Akio. Aki frowned slightly when they locked eyes and he turned away from her. What was that all about? She felt a peck on her cheek and looked up into the eyes of the one she used to love.

"I'll be going up now. Be sure to keep an eye open just in case." Akio said and walked away but not before placing a kiss on her lips. Aki could feel two burning pair of eyes on them, but she didn't turn to find out whom they belonged to. Aki nodded to her fiancée and he walked towards the stage where he would give his speech.

All done Aki, how's it going in there? Mao's voice rang in her head and it snapped her to reality.

Everything is going great. Akio is about to make his speech. We have about six minutes before everything starts. You should get going to Ellexys and make sure their going the right way. Just make sure you don't use too much energy. Aki replied.

Good, and I already am, but are you sure you want to do this Aki? You know Naruto wouldn't hate you if you backed out now. Aki scowled inside her head, but kept her eyes on Akio the whole time as he climbed the steps to the stage.

Mao I have to do this. If not then Naruto will die, I'm not going to let that happen. If I die in the processes then fine. As long as Naruto can live a life and get his goals then my life is complete. Aki said and she heard her demon sigh.

I know it's futile to try and change you're mind. But remember I'll try my best to keep you alive. Naruto will hate you if you die on him.

But I won't be around to see him hate me. All my life Mao I've wanted Naruto to be happy. This will help at least in some line. Hopefully Sasuke can tell Naruto his feelings and they can date. Aki mussed as she glanced at Sasuke who was holding the tray to an older lady.

You noticed huh? Guess it's not hard to. He was glaring at you when Naruto tackled you, even if he didn't notice himself.

Yeah I know, you wouldn't stop laughing, you old cat.

Ha, whatever it's starting now, that speech. Aki mentally nodded and looked to the stage to see Akio stepping up with his hands behind his back.

"Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen. I'm glad you all could come. This party is to put all that stress over the past few days behind us, and start a new." Aki tried not to roll her eyes at this. "Have fun, listen to music, and dance with loved ones, I know I am." Akio sent a wink to Aki and the crowd ahed. Aki just smiled sweetly at Akio, but inside it just hurt.

"Please just sit back and relax tonight. Everything will be right tomorrow." Akio said and cheered erupted from the crowd. Aki wondered how he really had this much control, to do a stupid and useless speech yet have the whole room look up to him. Akio really did have some diplomatic talent, and that talent is the reason why Pain was there today. Aki smirked at Akio as he made his way over to her. A soft beat played in the background and Akio held his hand out to her. Aki took it and Akio pulled her into his arms. They danced so close that every time Akio would take a breath in or breath out Aki could feel the air on her cheek.

"I'm sorry if you're not having a good time love." Akio said as they danced. Aki smiled and rested her head on his shoulder, it would be the last dance they had together.

"I'm having a great time Akio. It's not completely bad." Aki said and glanced at Naruto who was still hidden by the shadows, but she could see the sadness in his eyes. Akio kissed her cheek lightly and Aki leaned into Akio even more at the affection.

"I'm glad you're not having a bad time." Akio whispered in her ear. "But I will make it up to you tonight." Aki felt that shiver run through her body every time he would talk in that sexy voice he could make.

"Hmm that would be great." Aki purred back to him. Akio smiled down at his love, but that smile slipped when explosions erupted from outside.

One building collapsed.

Another explosion.

Another building down.

Third explosion.

Third building down.

Fourth explosion.

And again another building tumbled into ruble. Akio was out of Aki's arms and at the window in a flash. Aki looked around to see Pain and the other Akatsuki member gone. She smirked as Akio, with wide eyes, ran over to her.

"What's going on? I thought you go rid of the trouble?" Akio asked, panic rising in his voice. Aki hugged him and whispered in his ear.

"Trouble, get rid of, hmm I guess I haven't done that part yet." Aki said and as she did this she slammed a kunai in his heart from the back. Akio's eyes widened even more, and blood came out of his mouth, dripping slightly on Aki's shoulder.

"Why… I thought…" Akio asked and Aki pulled away, her eyes emotionless, she wiped the blood off with the back of her glove.

"You thought you could use me is that right? Well I guess this proves it. Goodbye love." Aki whispered the last part and placed a kiss on his cheek before he sank to the ground. Aki was out of sight in a second and behind the stage where Naruto waited with Sasuke and Sakura. She didn't notice that Pain was still standing in the room and had seen the whole thing. A sly smile played over his face but was wiped away when his partner whispered something into his ear and they disappeared.

"Let's go." Aki said and disappeared behind a forgotten passageway. As much as she tried to show that she wasn't upset at killing another loved one, Naruto saw those tears that he hated to see in her eyes, the pain that he could feel radiating off of her. His fists tightened, but he followed her anyway along with Sasuke and Sakura who had also thought they had seen tears.

-Sad I know I know. Well I'm glad you have taken the time out of you busy day to read my story! I hope you review!!
