Keira was almost at Team 7's training grounds, she decided to take a shortcut through the forest. She stopped when she heard twigs breaking, she frowned and looked around,

"Whoever's there, come out now! I can hear you!"

It was silent except for birds chirping, then a man jumped down from a tree to land a few feet infront of her. He smirks at her and says, "It's been awhile Keira." She stood her ground but asks, "Who are you?"

The man shakes his head, "You don't remember me? How sad, I'll give you a hint. I'm the one that gave you that locket you have." She looked him up and down. His hair was brown and shoulder length, he had on a black cloak that had red clouds on it. Akatsuki.

Keira narrows her eyes, "There's no way you're my brother, he would never join the Akatsuki." He sighs and in a flash he was in front of her. "That's to bad you don't believe me. I really am your brother."

He was faster than her, he managed to stab her with a kunai. She made a hand sign, "Fire Style: Blazing Flare!" She took in a deep breath and she let out a ball of fire from her mouth. He pulled his hand back and jumped away from her.

With a poof she was in the tree behind him, if she could get to Kakashi she would be fine. She took off and he followed right behind her, "There's no use running. I've been sent to retrieve the Wolf's spirit from this village. And I don't give up as easily as you'd want me to."

"Yeah well that's too bad! I'd rather die before I went with you!" She shouted back as she continued jumping from tree to tree. He flashed next to her, then threw several kunai at her. She dodged most, since she was still faster than him, but she was also starting to slow down. But one slipped past her arm, cutting her slightly.

She ignored the pain in her stomach and kept going. Keira knew she wasn't going to be able to lose him easily now, but luckily the training grounds were just up ahead. She jumped through the canopy of trees to land near just who she wanted to see. "Kakashi!"

Said silver haired Shinobi turned around and waved when he saw her, "Hey Keira, glad to see y-" Kakashi became silent when she started stumbling towards them. Naruto ran over to her and hand put a hand on her back, "Are you alright Keira-sensei?"

Keira looked behind them and saw her brother in a tree watching them. She turned back to Naruto as Kakashi, Sakura, and Sai came over to them, "I'm fine Naruto. Just be careful, there's someone in the trees over there."

Naruto looks towards the forest, "There's no one there sensei." Kakashi held Keira up, "What happened to you?" She was breathing unsteadily, "It was him Kakashi, it was-" She didn't get to finish because she passed out from blood loss.

Kakashi picks her up bridal-style, "I'm taking her to the hospital. You can come if you want." And with that, he was gone.
