Steaming hot dishes arrived within minutes. Aurora mixed her rice with her beef, causing the rice to soak up the extra liquid. She ate bites of rice and beef with onions. She drank cold Gold Peak sweet tea between bites without using chopsticks.

Kakashi ate his noddles on a couch while eyeing the open window like something was wrong.

"My lady?" Sulin was on another couch.

"Yes, Sulin." Aurora knew that Sulin had something on her mind.

Sulin fidgeted under her mistress' direct gaze, "Jessica shows promise in the healing arts."

"She'll train under me after three years in her own team. She'll be trained much like Sakura of the Leaf Village with dodging, but her chakra will be used as mind control instead of force."

Sulin nodded in acceptance.

Kakashi turned to his girlfriend, "Who are these two girls that Master Jiraya talked about the Akatsuki wanting?"

"We found Jessica after her village and orphanage kicked her out. She has the two tailed cat sealed within her. The Hikari Clan adopted Jessica and Jasmine, who has the three tailed dog sealed within her. Both girls are treated like family and they have special abilities." Aurora leaned back in her chair, "If you want you can meet both at dinner. They are opposites, but compliment each other." Aurora quickly glanced at the open window as if sensing something. Her eyes narrowed right before she ducked to avoid three kunai that whistled in the window.

Sulin threw the door open to let Aurora escape. However, more kunai flew in, towards the door and any other escape routes.

"Everyone out!"

"What about you?" asked the large felines.

"Don't worry. I know a way out." Aurora's foot tapped a wood plank under the desk then waved both Kakashi and Sulin over.

A trap door sprang up from under the desk. All three slipped through before Sulin pulled the door down and locked it.

Aurora led them down several flights of stairs into a windowless room. She drew blood to rub against a nub on the northwest wall. a panel slid into the wall, revealing a secret tunnel. She used sun flare jutsu to light the way.

"Tyler and Jacob appear!" Aurora summoned two black operations members.

"TaiyoKage-sama!" They saluted.

"You are to check Hikari Compund before I arrive and report back to me. Taiyo Tower was just attacked." Aurora used Roaring Flames to turn the closed tunnel into ash so they could continue on.

Jacob reappeared as they were about to enter Hikari Compound, "My lady, the compound is also under attack. Some of the elders are faltering while the shinobi are barely holding ground."

Aurora nodded, "Bring Jessica and Jasmine to me. Be prepared to fight in intense heat." This warning went for Kakashi.

Aurora let Kakashi exit first then Sulin. She escaped the tunnel just as the girls showed up. "Stay close. Tyler, take my flank." She preformed hand jutsu to summon forth the "Sun Lion and Lioness Combo!"

Both the large and angry lion couple flared into being. The lioness was on the kage's right while the lion was to the left. Both took a swipe at the enemies that dared come close. Their roars sent out shock waves.

"Majestic Duo Strike!" screamed Aurora, causing the lions to pounce on two groups of Akatsuki, but they regenerated somehow which frustrated Aurora to no end.

She took an aggressive stance as her next attack would demand a lot. "Jessica heal any wounds then feed me Kikyo's chakra same with you Jasmine."

The little girls looked up, trembling in terror, "How, my lady?"

"Open the mind door a crack while thinking of me," instructed Aurora as a teacher.

They both nodded then closed their eyes. Two flows of chakra danced to the TaiyoKage.

"Ultimate Sun Phoenix Jutsu!" shouted Aurora Hikari, the matriarch of the Hikari Clan.

The Lion and Lioness vanished just as a bigger Sun Phoenix appeared and flew around the compound, touching each Akatsuki member with a claw or wing. The enemy was forced back. "Golden Sun Burst!"

Those closest to the fire bird were crispy, forcing some to carry others out of the village. Some just vanished back to their hide-out.

Jacob threw a tracker on one member before going back to Aurora's side to see her faltering.

Kakashi was there all along, deflecting attacks, kicking ass while taking numbers. He was by her side when he noticed the Sun Phoenix shrinking. He caught her as she collapsed then whisked her away as shinobi covered their retreat.

The Taiyokage was panting for breath. She drank three glasses of water before closing her eyes, "Start reconstruction while heightening security. My shadow clone will handle reports until I'm fit for duty. Sulin, start the healing process as soon as I am asleep. Kakashi, please watch over the girls and me. Tyler and Jacob track those bastards down."

Helios and Apollo laid across the room's threshold, safeguarding their mistress. Sulin opened a window to help the healing process while Dawn rested beside Aurora and Ra sang a soothing song.

An exact shadow clone of both Sulin and Aurora went to Taiyo Tower to give orders then have her office repaired. All sorts of weapons had to be removed then damages were fixed while paperwork was filed away.

The original Sulin was busy fixing any chakra blockages and healing wounds.
