Hey there again. Still no reviews. It's rather depressing. But I find writing fun even if ur horrible and dont get any readers. So I'm continueing. This chapter is a lot different than The movie. And i think i have to change the rating.

Akame and Shikamaru walk silently with Shikamaru a few feet in front of her. He stopped and looked around. He changes direction abruptly.

"This way." This is the 5th time he has done that.

"Can you stop that? It's really annoying." Akame says frustrated.

"The queen's guards are everywhere. I'm trying to throw off anyone tracking us, just in case. I would like to keep my head if you don't mind. I'm not wasting my life on this stupid war." They continued to walk in silence until they get to a small clearing.

"Here we are." Shikamaru said. Akame looks around and sees three people sitting around a small clearing. The three people are Naruto, Kakashi, and Shino. Kakashi and Shino are laughing as they listen to Naruto telling a story. As she listens closer, she realizes that he is making fun of her.

"So there is Akamaru with his fangs bared and Akame just stood there and started to talk to him! She thought he would just stop if she said his name! He was about to kill her so I had to go and pop his eye out. I'm keeping it with me for good luck." Naruto held up the eye and everyone in the clearing wrinkled their noses at the smell.

"Ugh, put that away Naruto." Kakashi said. Akame's gaze fell on him. Her breath caught in her thought. He was even more handsome than she remembered. He looked over at Akame. She couldn't help but stare into his one exposed eye. She wished she could tell what he was thinking, but his eye didn't betray any emotion. When Naruto turned around to see Akame, he grew red in the face.

"Um, h-hi Akame. Y-you look n-nice today." He said as he scratched the back of his head. She broke her gaze on Kakashi to glare at Naruto.

"We were just talking about you." Kakashi says. Akame's heart melted. His voice was so deep. So rough. It sounded wonderful. Her thoughts were interrupted when Shino said, "Join us for tea? Are you free for tea? Tea, anyone?" Akame looked at him and her eyes grew wide. He was shaking and was holding his hand as if he were holding a cup of tea, but there was no cup. In fact it just occurred to her that earlier Shino was laughing. Another difference is that his glasses were gone revealing eyes with a crazed look in them.

"I'm not staying" Shikamaru says. He starts to walk off.

"He lives only for himself" Kakashi said glaring at him.

Shino started singing a small tune "Only himself, always himself. Just him, his own self." Shikamaru stopped, sighed, and turned back around. He sat down next to Naruto. Kakashi looks at Akame and motions to sit down between him and Shino. Akame shyly accepts the offer.

Shino suddenly screams "Not there! Can't you see the dishes are dirty? And there's no time to wash them! We're already late for tea! Move down! Move down!" Akame jumped up startled and sits between Kakashi and Naruto instead. She looked around and found that Kakashi was staring at her.

"You don't look anything like yourself. You've grown a lot." Kakashi said.

"Now, I've brought Akame to you." Shikamaru interrupted.

Kakashi turns to him and says sarcastically "Yes, thank you for the heroic effort. We'll take the rest of the revolution from here."

"Oh, Shut up!" was Shikamaru's retort.

Kakashi pauses and thinks deeply with a look of pain on his face. When he comes out of his thoughts he says, "I hate that queen so much. She's enslaved half of the people in the village!"

"Yeah I agree" Shikamaru says in a bored voice.

Kakashi is enraged now "She released the kyuubi to kill two of the people that could control it! And sent away the last, telling everyone she died! Then she stole the title of hokage from Tsunade by threatening to use the kyuubi again! Then she changed being hokage to being queen!" Akame's eyes grew wide. The queen was the one that killed her parents. And sent her away. Her own Aunt! But her aunt was so sweet. She would never do something like that. Akame's mind started to get confused she started to cry. Nobody noticed thought because they were paying attention to Kakashi and Shikamaru.

"Tsunade should have put up a better fight." Shikamaru said, unaffected by Kakashi's anger.

"The Red Queen rules with fear, terror and torture!" Kakashi blurted.

"I fail to see why I am expected to do so much." Shikamaru stated.

Shino piped in then yelling "He failed! He must be punished! Shall we cut off his ears?"

Shino picked up a kunai.

Kakashi, who was calmer now, put a hand on Shino's arm and whispered softly to him. This seemed to make Shino calm down.

Kakashi turns back to Shikamaru "Lazy"

Shikamaru looked slightly insulted, "I'm not lazy I just choose not to do much!"

"You're lazy Shikamaru. You always have been. You'll never change" Kakashi said coldly.

"And you're always too angry Kakashi. I remember when you used to enjoy life. You used to be the first one at the bar everyday." Shikamaru retorts. Kakashi thinks back to that time and smiles a bit. However the smile is short and bittersweet.

"The day that Tsunade is hokage, that is the day I'll cheer up." Kakashi and Shikamaru looked at each other like bitter, estranged brothers. Shikamaru gets up.

He looks at Akame and pays no attention to her tears "Look after that arm Akame." With that he walks off. Everyone's eyes turn back to Alice. When they see her tears they get sympathetic looks on their faces.

Naruto was the first to speak "W-what's wrong Akame?"

Though her sobs she chokes out "My own aunt! She killed them! How could she do this! She ruined the leaf village!"

"That is why you have to seal the kyuubi with the first hokage's necklace. So we can restore peace." Kakashi says putting a hand on her shoulder.

"How am I supposed to do that? I don't even know how!"

"That's right. She hasn't trained since she left either." Naruto said.

"There has to be another way." Akame insists, wiping her tears.

"There is no other way, but the necklace should help once we get it." Kakashi said.

"I can't do it!" Akame shouts.

Shino puts his hands to his ears and shouts "Stop all the shouting! I cannot stand the shouting!" He then throws a kunai at Akame and Kakashi just barely caught it in time. He turned and glared at Shino. He threw the kunai back towards Shino, but instead of at him he threw it next to him on the ground. Shino ducked his head like a scolded child.

"But you're the only chance we've got. Without you the resistance will fall." Kakashi said looking towards Akame.

Suddenly Shino stood up and yelled, "Guards!"

Naruto, Kakashi, and I all jump up at the same time. "What do we do? We can't let them find Akame!" Naruto asked frantically. But Kakashi was already making signs with his hand. His hands were so fast Akame couldn't make out the signs. His hands were a blur. Then he poked the middle of my forehead. Suddenly Akame was invisible. Akame could see right through herself. Kakashi pushed me over to the side of the clearing just as the guards came into the clearing.

Akame saw a man walk in sniffing the air. The guards were following him. Then there was someone on a black horse. It took her a while to figure out who they both were, but she finally remembered that the person sniffing the air was Kiba and the man on the horse was Itachi.

"Greetings, gentlemen" Kakashi greeted them cheerfully. Itachi looked down at the three

"Well, if it isn't my favorite trio of idiots." Itachi said with an arrogant smirk on his face.

"You're late for tea as usual." Shino says to Itachi.

"How is the red queen? Or is it hokage? One never knows these days." Kakashi said wiping the smirk off Itachi's face.

"We are looking for the girl named Akame." Kiba was getting closer to Kakashi. Naruto was pretending to sleep, but was keeping an eye on him.

"Speaking of the Queen, here's a song I sang at her concert: Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat! How I wonder where you're at!" Shino started singing, but was cut off when Itachi came over and grabbed him around the throat, choking off the song.

"Akame! Have you seen her?" Itachi shouts, loosing his patience.

"No, have you?" Kakashi replies. One of the guards cracked his whip and it hit Kakashi hard knocking him over. Akame flinched and gasped, covering her mouth so she would not be heard.

"Have you seen her?" Itachi asked with a threatening tone.

"No." Kakashi said trying to hold back his anger. The guard whipped him two more times in the back. Kakashi had to bite his lip to keep his anger in check.

Itachi walks over to Naruto and kicks him in the stomach. "Wake up." He demands.

Naruto says "I'd rather not". Then he yawns and pretends to go back to sleep. Itachi is getting frustrated now.

"If you are hiding an enemy of the queen, you will lose your lives." He threatens.

"I'll take my chances." Kakashi replies picking himself up off the ground. Kiba is now right next to Akame, with his nose near his shoulder. Kakashi watched Kiba nervously.

He whispered, "Down with the bloody red queen" to Kiba. Kiba stops sniffing and shoots a sharp glance towards the place Akame is. Kiba nodded in understanding. He pretended to catch a new sent and ran off beckoning for the guards to follow.

"Follow him." Itachi commands. All the guards leave to follow and Itachi gets back on his horse. Itachi, still suspicious, lingers. "You're all mad for going against the queen" With that he disappears after the others.

Everyone let's out a sigh of relief. Kakashi lifted Akame out of his pouch.

"You're safe now. Kiba will lead them away." Akame looks around and sees Shino rubbing his neck, Naruto holding his stomach, and Kakashi bleeding from his cheek and back. She felt responsible for what happened to them.

"I wish I could help you, but I don't know how." Akame says. Kakashi makes her reappear.

"You'll speak to Jiraiya. He'll know what to do." Kakashi said.

"Um. Isn't he dead?" Akame asks nervously glancing over at Naruto.

Kakashi smiled "Not his spirit." He started to walk off beckoning Akame to follow..

"Good-bye, Akame" Shino waved.

Naruto started to follow "I can't wait to see how Jiraiya reacts when he finds out Akame is here." Kakashi's face flashed annoyance for a brief moment, but then he coolly said "Sorry Naruto, just us this time. You know Jiraiya only likes to see two people at a time."

Naruto frowned and stopped walking. Kakashi continued.

"Wait! You forgot your tea!" Shino shouted. He threw another kunai at Kakashi, but he ducked and the kunai hit a tree instead. Kakashi kept walking like nothing ever happened.

After a while of walking through the forest Akame asks "What happened after I left?"

"Tsunade fell to the red queen." Kakashi said simply. Then he began to tell a story.

"The day after you left it was Tsunade's birthday and everyone was at the biggest bar in town. There were so many people that some of us were outside of the bar because there was no room inside. But then the sky darkened. We all looked up and there it was the kyuubi again. You were there the first time it attacked so you can imagine the fear that gripped everyone. All the shinobi were stunned by its fierceness and magnitude. Many people died that day. Tsunade, who was wearing the first hokage's necklace, dropped it on accident. I ran away with Tsunade to keep her safe so I missed the worst of it. Itachi found the necklace. Now there was nothing to defeat the kyuubi. Everyone tried to escape. Only few made it. The sight of all the burning and death caused Shino to be how he is now. On that day I swore I would not stop until the red queen falls."

Akame is quiet, moved by the story.

"Where is Tsunade?" Akame asks.

Kakashi continues walking and looking straight ahead. "She is in exile on the edge of the North forest waiting for you to come and defeat the kyuubi so she can be the hokage again. In the meantime Shino, Naruto, and others like us work secretly for her cause."

Akame looked at Kakashi in awe. 'He is amazing' she thought. She thought about the kyuubi. Could she really do it? She hated to think that she would let Kakashi down. Let everyone down for that matter.

Kakashi and Akame walked in silence for a while. They pass out of the woods and come upon an open plain of charred barren earth. Kakashi saw Akame's look of bewilderment.

"As you may remember, this used to be fertile land. Nothing has grown here since the kyuubi attacked." Kakashi told her. They continued walking. Eventually they came to a deserted little town.

"Where is everyone?" Alice asked.

"Most of them were turned into slaves, others fled. Only a few strays remain." Kakashi answered. A woman appeared in one of the doorways. She leaned against the door.

"Hello, Kakashi." She said.

"Temari. It's been a long time." Kakashi said. He turned back to Akame "She will know where Jiraiya is. Wait here." Kakashi followed Temari into a building. Akame suddenly hears a loud whistle and turns to find a group of 3 men staring at her curves.

"I'd appreciate it if you didn't stare." Akame said to them. However they continued to stare.

"Hello dear, are you alone?" the first man said with a smirk. Akame started to get nervous.

"Actually I am with someone." She glanced at the building Kakashi went in.

"I saw her first." Said the first man as the second took a step closer.

"The person I'm with is right in that building." The second man is only a foot away now and the first starts to come closer too. Akame took a step back.

"She's mine." The first man states. Akame backed up into the wall. Akame looks at the door Kakashi went in. The second man grabs her arms and holds her while the first man slipped off her sweater. He took one of her arms out of the t-shirt she was wearing underneath, but before he got to the other she managed to get out of their grasp, but she fell in doing so.

She scrambled up from the ground. "Kakashi!" She called out. She started to run, but the third man was in her path.

"Trying to run? The third man asks.

"We like it when they resist." Said the second. Akame tried to run, but the third man grabbed her arm and pulled her back. As he held her from behind the other two ripped her t-shirt off.

"KAKASHI!" Akame screamed as loud as she could. The first man hooked his finger around her bra and was about to rip it off when a kunai hit him in his arm. Akame turned and saw Kakashi was the one that threw it. The men immediately let go of Akame and run away, seeing that it is the famous copy ninja. Kakashi picks up Akame's sweater and runs over to her. She snatches it from him.

"There are lonely men out here! I am just a girl! What did you think was going to happen?" she yelled pulling her sweater on.

"I didn't think of that. I'm sorry. Please forgive me." Kakashi said helping her up.

Temari speaks to Kakashi "By the way have you seen Shikamaru?"

"Only briefly. You know how he comes and goes."

"If you see him, tell him he is a fucking asshole." She said with a snarl.

"Will do." Kakashi replied smiling.

Kakashi and Akame continue walking in a different direction this time. They walked into a forested area again.

"We have about a half a days travel ahead of us." Kakashi said. Suddenly the sky turns dark, tinged with red. Kakashi ducks under a large tree and brings Akame with him.

"What is that?" Akame asks.

"Red rain. It's poisonous. It's a jutsu the red queen uses. It won't last long." He answered. They look at each other. Due to the small space their faces are only 5 inches apart. They look into each others eyes. Kakashi brings his hand up and leans forward. He places a chaste kiss on her lips. She smiled, her cheeks a light red. They sit in silence for a moment. The hail stops.

Kakashi gets up and offers his hand to her. "Shall we continue to Jiraiya?" He helps her up and they walk some more. Eventually they get to a place with mushrooms growing everywhere. Kakashi stopped.

"You're on your own from here."

"You're not coming?"

"Jiraiya can get a bit temperamental. I'll wait here." Hesitantly Akame walks on. After Kakashi is out of sight she walks into a haze.

"Who are you?" she hears.

"Jiraiya?" Akame asks. She squints to see through the mist.

"Who are you?" he repeats. She still can't see who is talking. Finally she sees him. He looked just like his old self, but he was almost transparent. He had a pipe in his mouth and was smoking it. Alice stops dead. Her mind was reeling.

"Jiraiya?" she asks.

"I don't think you're Jiraiya, I think I'm Jiraiya. I think you're Akame." He said.

"You can't be real." Akame said in shock.

"Of course I'm real." He leans forward and blows smoke in her face. "Stupid girl."

"I'm not stupid! And stop blowing smoke in my face!" said Akame.

"You're just as impertinent as ever." Jiraiya says shaking his head.

"Kakashi said you could tell me what to do now." Akame said, ignoring his comment.

"Quite simple. You do what you came here to do." Jiraiya replied.

"Just because I've been here before does not mean I can suddenly start slaying things. I couldn't seal the kyuubi if my life depended on it." Akame said, frustrated.

"It will. So I suggest you find the first hokage's necklace to have it on hand for when the day comes." He blows some more smoke and disappears. Akame looks around still not believing what just happened.

Suddenly she hears metal clashing together. She runs toward Kakashi, but she can't find her way to him. She turns in circles, lost, until she sees something ahead in the mist. It looked like Shikamaru. Then he disappeared too. He ran towards where he was standing, hoping to find Kakashi.
