I am posting yay ! Sorry for the wait.

I don't own shit:D

Chapter 3

We have been running for hours, and I am getting a nagging suspicion the Deidara is trying to throw imaginary kunais at me in his mind. I glance at him quickly to confirm he is in-fact glaring the hell out of my back. "If you have something to say blondie then say it." I keep my tone smooth, even if we are on the same side for now he might hurt me. There are rumors that the Akatsuki beat other members, and haven seen Deidara's destructive powers up close and personal, I hope the rumors are false. "I don't have anything to say to a LEAF ninja." he is dishing on Konoha! 'Oh he'll no!' I thought in range.

I spin on the tip of my toes and fly at him, pinning him by his neck. I hold a chakura scalpel at the underside of his chin, he held still. "You can call me what ever you want, teat me like shit to your hearts content, but don't you ever EVER use my village in vain. Or so help the gods I will show you the horrors known only to high ranking medical ninjas know and more. Got it, AKATSUKI?" I glared fiercely at him cutting him slightly with the scalpel to prove I'm not scared of him. "Then let me go,un." he grabs my wrist, the mouthed on his hands biting me in hopes of making me release. We glare each other down, it took Kisame to break us up. Deidara, as a punishment, had to say up near Itatchi and I near fish-face.

"You seem to have a thing for getting in trouble, pinky." Kisame smirked, watching Deidara fuming and his partner telling the blond to shut up. "When you have hair like mine you got to be able to kick ass, you should know fish-face." I laugh as he makes a face at the nickname. "Yeah I get ya, but don't call me fish-face." he said. "Well its either fish-face or blueberry, take your pick." I snickered, it isn't everyday a blue giant with a big ass sword gets called blueberry. "I'll take fish-face, so what are you going to call my partner? Ice-king?" Kisame spoke humorously, Itatchi noticing he had become part of the conversation started to listen to us ."Well his name is Itatchi, so I was just going to call him Weasel if he pisses me off." I declared it boldly. Both Kisame and Deidara stopped, looked at Itatchi, then burst into fits of laughter.

Itatchi gave me a look, an annoyed Uchiha look. "Don't give me that look Uchiha, I got enough of those from your ass of a little brother." i couldn't say his name, it made me sick but still hurt deep down. He froze "You were on his team, yes?" he didn't turn around, but his body language showed tiny hint of anger. So I hit a nerve, family. "Yes and i have to say you two are a lot a like in the facial expression department, except he went from ass- to smug." I noticed Kisame looking at Itatchi in a look I can't comprehend. "Kunochi, come with me." Itatchi started walking away. "I'm not a dog to order around." I shouted at him, how dare he treat me like an animal. I sat on the ground, arms crossed over my chest, and refused to move. "If you do not cooparate, I will bring you by force." His voice is deep, lined with a promise. Normally I would cooparate but he seems to push buttons that remind me of Sasuke, and it is already starting to piss me off. "I dare you." Kisame looked at me like I've just grown another head. "You shouldn't have said that." Kisame warned me.

The next second Itatchi was on me, grabbing my wrists and pulling me along with him. Damn he is strong, but I can be stronger. I start to walk with him then stomp on the ground. Shattering the Earth around me, forcing Itatchi to keep his distance momentarily. I close my eyes and listen to the world around me, thanking god Kakashi was so percestiant on teaching me to fight with my eyes closed just in case I ever fight Sasuke; or his brother. I side swiped right and hit his arm, he grabbed my leg preparing to throw me. I grinned as he threw me, I flipped spreading bits of my chakura into the air. Sensing the tree next to my feet I pushed off it with great strength, the groan of the tree standing tall refusing to be beaten. I used the spreaded chakura to find the Weasle and charged at him, only to dissaper in a cloud of petals.

The petals, holding more chakara, fell to the ground where I am hiding. Blocking my signal from above me, I opened my eyes to blink but was pulled out of the ground. "Try all you like, Kunochi, but you can't escape me." "Only for so long UCHIHA." I'm staring at him as his Sharingan spins in his eyes. "Do not make me hurt you." he didn't blink, weirdo. I blink but remain unfased. "I don't fear your blood line. It holds no effect on me" I smile evilly at him "so go ahead and try. With your already decaying eyesight." he glared at me fiercely, though made no physical move to hurt me. He pulled me into his Sharingan.

The world was black and red, shocking, and the clouds drifted backwards as if going back in time. "How" he was behind me. Unable to move. "This is my mind, you may make the world but I make the rules." I walked around, leaving him behind. I was In front of the Uchiha compound, blood splattered the ground and buildings. Ravens flew overhead calling to the dead, I walked down the streets when it began to change. "Being private huh? Fine, what did you want to ask me so badly?" I turn to see him behind me, slowly fighting against my mind's power over him. He was quiet, I let him go. "What was he like?" his face remained the same, but I could hear the honest curiosity. "Well to be frank he was a lone wolf, always trying to avoid any kind of bond. The only one he allowed was his rivalry with Naruto, and even then it was strained.

"He avoided girls like the plague even me, his own team mate who he treated like a pest. Though he had moments he seemed to care about us, but now. The last time I saw him... He aimed a Chidori covered blade at my heart and tried to kill Naruto. Saying we held him back, that we made him weak. He is obsessed with killing you." he didn't react violently, happily, sadly, but only said "Hn" . "Anything else?" I asked. When he didn't say anything I released myself from the jutsu. "Your ok?" Deidara seemed surprised. "Perfectly, I'm not Ambu for nothing." he looked at me with a bit of new respect. "We are leaving." Weasle called. I mockingly saluted "Okay Captin Weasel." he glared at me and lept off with Kisame in toll. I jumped along with Deidara and surprisingly got along with him.

I found that Deidara hates Itatchi, so by being able to piss of said Uchiha and break his jutsu I became an acquaintance of sorts. Kisame seemed nervous about something, but kept up his normal attitude. The journey wasn't bad the rest of the day, until it got dark and we weren't anywhere close to a hotel. Itatchi made the fire, Kisame got the fish from a nearby river about a mile away, Deidara set traps, and I was the one to cook. Since apparently nobody else can, men can be so useless when it comes to a women's work.

After we ate I set myself a spot on a tree branch and looked up at the night sky. It reminded me of the many missions alone, the stars being my guide and companion. Before long Kisame and Diedara were asleep and Itatchi looked to be meditating. I dropped down with my bag and walked to where I thought to rive is. I grabbed the Kunai that flew at my head. "Where do you think you are going?" Itatchi's voice called out. "To bathe, females in general like to be clean." I keep walking, hearing him follow. He still doesn't trust me just yet. I stand at the edge of the river awkwardly. "The longer you stand and stair Weasel the longer it will take for me to bathe." I sigh knowing he might not go, so I pull up all my courage and start to undress. I step into the ice cold river with a bottle of shampoo.

One awkward bath later I send out my chakura to see if he is still there, yep still there. "Seriously Uchiha, I'm not leaving this river till you leave. And it will not be good if the medic get sick because you decided to 'guard' me or whatever your doing." I feel the first stage of a cold about ready to start when he comes to the edge of the river, lucky I'm shoulder deep in the river. "It is nothing I haven't seen before." "Well I like not showing my naked body to people if I don't have to, if your not going to leave at least turn around?" I ask, he turns his head. I'll take it, so carefully I walk back to my bag and dress. "I'm decent." I feel like I'm talking to a child sometimes.

"Your aware of what your getting into correct?" he walked next to me. "I will be working as your guy's medic and when needed I will partake in missions. Otherwise I am free to explore the village and will be rooming with one of you." I recite from the mission scroll. "Correct, you will also be trained by each of us. You will also be healing my eyes when I see fit." he's said pointedly, oh joy I get to be his little caretaker. "Yeah yeah but don't get the impression that I am going to cater you or anyone else just because I'm your guys new nurse. With that said, I need to look at your eyes soon to see how long it should take. It would be best at the next inn we stop at for safety reasons." I sigh remembering how Kakashi acted after I headed his eyes.

There is a side-effect for everything, chakura messes with emotions on the person receiving the chakura while the person giving remains unaffected but could develop an awareness of the receiver. It can make the nicest person a stalker, the cruelest into a gentleman, and in Kakashi's case... Well clingy like a lovesick puppy. He would follow me everywhere and always try to keep physical contact. Like when he decided I was a pillow and put his head in my lap so I would play with his hair. It only lasted three days since his one eye wasn't to badly damaged, so when I start on Itatchi what ever effect he gets will last longer. Which brings on the question what kind of an effect will he have or will he even have one.

"You have performed the procedure on The Copy Cat ninja?"

"yes, with no problems."

"How bad was the damage.?"

"Colors were dull and everything was blurry or unrecognizable. If my thought is correct you should be almost clinically blind, am I wrong?"

"..."

"Fine Uchiha be difficult but as the medical professional I must know the amount of damage to your eyes brought on by your bloodline. If I go in with no knowledge it could cause problems for you in future. Because you will keep using the Sharingan until you don't need it anymore, that will eventually undo all the work I would have done to fix your sight. If I don't put enough chakura towards your eyes or too much it could cause you to go permanently blind. Either way, I don't care so go ahead and be difficult for all I care." I start walking faster not wanting to hear what he might say, I'm tried and still ticked about the river thing.

"Kunochi-" "I have a name." I snip at him. "- Hn. Hurano, you shall examine my eyes tonight." he spoke. It wasnt a suggestion but an order. "Fine, go get comfy." I said quickly as we reached the camp of sorts. I set my bag down, pulling out a cloth and the water bottle. Itatchi lies on his back with his hands linked on hid chest, his eyes are closed and his breathing sounds off just barley. "Do you have any problems breathing?" I ask dampening the the cloth and setting it over his eyes. "No." his voice stays the same and his breath changes. I leave it alone for now. "I am setting this cloth on your eyes to keep them moist and to lessen the amount of discomfort your about to feel. Now don't freak out on me, but I am going to have to shut down your vision for a few minutes at a time." I sit on my knees behind him, placing my hands on his temples.

I start to let my chakura flow into his eyes. "If you start to feel anything tell me, and I mean anything. Pain, tingling, lightheaded, sick, ect. it will help me find the main issue in your eyes." I hit a blocked chakura path. "tingles" he said as I start removing the blockage. Good, that means I am on the right path. "I am going to momentarly shut down your vision. Don't move." he froze, she concentrated on how the chakura flowed slower and even stopped at points. "Must you hum as you work?" she momentarly looked at him, knowing he can't see her. "It is a habit, I usually hum for the younger children when I heal them. It distracts and calms them while I work. Is it bothering you?" he doesn't reply. "Can you activate your Mongeku-sharingan? Good, now the normal Sharingan. Now deactivate it." he complies.

Amazing, the amount of chakura going in is almost the same during both stages of the Sharingan but barley any can enter when he doesn't have it activated. Kakashi's eye did double the work pushing chakura through during activation. It must be because Kakashi isn't an Uchiha, so to push in a different chakura and blood must be quiet the process. Though a similarity in both of them is that chakura builds up in the points on the channels thus blocking the path and slowly enduring problems. This process rapidly increases when the Mongeku-sharingan is activated. "I am returning your vision." I start pulling bits of my chakura out at a time, and also unblocking a few points on the way. "It's amazing you could see anything even slightly Uchiha. You were mere inches from being clinically blind." I remove my hands and the cloth. "Open your eyes slowly, aim away from the fire." I ring out the water and heat out the rest.

"How long will it take to heal my eyes?" Itatchi sat with his back to a tree. I plop down a few feet, 5 to be exact, away sitting just right to block some of the light from the fire. I take a deep breah "Your eyes will never stay permanently healed, I can return them back to how they where before the damage started and maintain them till the war ends. After that your on your own." I watch to see how he would react, nothing. He just looked at me then closed his eyes. I got up and went back to my earlier branch, I started to fall asleep. "We will reach our destination tomorrow. You will start treatment." I just barley realized it was Itatchi telling me before I fell asleep.

-morning-

The branch felt as if it was moving at a very fast pace, that or the wind was blowing like hell. I smelled the forest and the ocean at one time, its an odd mix but didn't set off any alarms in my head. Though an abnormal grogginess did. "Damn she is a heavy sleep." Kisame's voice seemed close. "She isn't asleep, she is waking up un." Deidara sounded kinda far. "Yo pinky wake up already." I groaned and turned into a warm mass. It was nice, I didn't want to move. "If you want a teddy bear you should ask first." Kisame was laughing loudly, the warmth shook. I finally open my eyes to find myself in Kisame's arm being carried bridal style. "Why didn't you just wake me up earlier?" I looked up at the giant, blue fish-man. "Itatchi said to let you rest un." I bent my head back to see the blond leisurely jumping next to Kisame.

Normally, when my brain isn't all groggy, I would care about the fact I am being carried by the Akastuki to their headquarters and would try to memorize the surroundings but I can't find the 'memorize this' button. In curiosity I check myself, and wouldn't you know it I have been drugged. "Next time you decide to drug me, please don't. It affects my chakura control until the drug has been completely removed." I lean back into Kisame's broad chest, enjoying the warmth. "Looks like you got yourself a girlfriend Kisame, un." Deidara jokingly said. Ah hell I'll play along, I wrap my arms around Kisame's neck "Yep, and I plan to jump him when you all aren't looking." I chuckled at Deidara's face. "Is that a promise?" Kisame wiggled his eyebrows at me with a goofy grin. I burst out laughing at the sight.

As I started to wake up more and flush the drug out of my head I realize these guys aren't the monsters like I thought they were. Kisame is a joking and fun person to be around, but can be serious and scary when needed. Deidara is artistic and generally a good person but has a temper that rivals my own. Itatchi is still calculating and collected but I noticed he has his darker and lighter faces almost, it is hard to explain but somethings just seem lighter when he likes the conversation and darker when he doesn't or when he goes somewhere in his thoughts. From how these three act, the members are like a family of sorts. Much like her and the current Team 7, only not that strong.

"What ya thinking of pinky?" Kisame asked, I blinked and looked back at him. " I'm realizing you guys are nothing like what I thought you would be of how I've been told you are." my voice was sober. "Is that a good or bad thing?" Deidara asked. "I'm not sure yet." I start to shift slightly in Kisame's grip. I think my legs are starting to fall asleep. "Itatchi" Kisame tensed up, Itatchi nodded and stopped a few hundred feet away from us. "What-" "Your friends have come to visit." Deidara said as he stood next to Kisame. I started to pick up Naruto's chakura signature. I quickly turn to my side. "I am still sleeping, I fell from chakura exhaustion last night while healing Uchiha's eyes." I spoke quickly and evened out my breathing to appear in deep sleep. "Sakura-chan! What happened to Sakura-chan!" Naruto's voice was loud like usual, no fear of talking to the people that have been hunting him for years.

"Quiet, she is still sleeping un." Deidara spoke first. "I can see tha-" Naruto stopped talking. "What happened?" Kakashi's voice was gentler, thinking I am in fact sleeping. "She fainted after starting Itatchi's treatment. She has been sleeping for about six hours now." Kisame started. "We figured she would like to regain some energy before she met everyone else. Hell I need energy to talk to half of them, un." I could feel Deidara's eyes on me as he spoke. "Alright, tell her we say hi when she wakes up." Sai's voice was monotoned, his 'around strangers' voice. I wonder why they are here? Apparently Kisame has the same question. "We are currently on a mission, but when we picked up Sakura's chakura signature we decided to see her." Sai spoke, probably keeping Naruto quiet. "...Good luck, un." it was obviously forced but Deidara was trying to be nice. "Thanks, take good care of her. If anything happens to our blossom (oh yay more flower references) you will be sorry." Kakashi warned them, his tone taking a venom. "Kisame, Deidara. We are going." Itatchi's voice held power.

Then they were gone, I opened my eyes. "They really care about you,un." Deidara said, no tone with it really. "Since Sasuke left we have gotten really close, they have saved my ass more times than I'd like to admit. I am still the weak link though." I whispered the last part to myself, but being as close as they were they heard it. "If it counts for anything, you can say you were part of the Akatsuki. Not many people can say that." Kisame put in trying to lighten to the mood. "Yeah, and I can be the only one to say I called Itatchi Uchiha 'Weasle' and lived to tell the tale." I smiled, thinking how Naruto would laugh his ass off and Sai's surprised face next to Kakashi's raised eyebrows not hidden by the orange book.

"Well lets get out of here, Pinky here has a promise to keep." Kisame laughed loudly. We were there sooner than I expected, making me wander how long I was out. I stood at the front door of the Akatsuki's hideout, which is really just a jumble of buildings in an enclosed space. "Welcome home, un." Deidara gave me a quick pat on the head then walked off into the big, main building.
