Hello again people. I would like to tell all of you how HAPPY I am that I am getting so many reviews for this story! I am so glad that you like it. Well for this chapter I will tell you right out that my inspiration was All American Rejects song 'Dirty Little Secret'. It just seemed to fit Kyree's issues right now. So let us get to the chapter.

Chapter 7: Dirty Little Secret
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Nothing had happened, nothing at all. This was the thought that was going through Kyree's head at this moment as she shook sleep from her head. She didn't know what had exactly happened since she had seemed to pass out from the cold. She opened her eyes to find herself lying by a fire that was next to a river. It was still storming but the pine trees above her were protecting her from the rain. 'Nothing happened' she thought to herself again as she sat up.
"Itachi…" she called out softly to no particular direction. She felt herself cough and then shudder from the cold. She scooted closer to the fire. Apparently Itachi had left her here and she had no clue where she was. Kumiko would definitely have her head for being sick later.
"What are you thinking about?" Itachi said quietly startling Kyree from her thoughts. She turned to see him standing there with a small bowl of fruit in his hand. She turned her eyes back to the fire.
"Nothing really…" she trailed off as he sat down next to her and put the fruit onto the fire.
"You've been out for about two hours you weakling. Now you're sick from the cold and on the verge of pneumonia." Itachi sighed as he sat back on his hands. Kyree shot him a glare before looking around at her surroundings.
"Where exactly did you bring me?" she coughed out and realized that Itachi was right, and that she was sick. Itachi stirred the fruit.
"We're about a mile away from my training ground. The others are out there training themselves. This was the best shelter I could find though." He said softly against the thunder. Kyree turned toward him.
"Others…?" she asked as her eyes studied his face. He was hiding something from her.
"Yeah about twenty others I've recruited, all of them wishing to become stronger. They're training right now for judgment." Itachi said as he carefully took the fruit off of the fire.
"What do you mean judgment?" Kyree asked carefully knowing full well that she probably didn't want to know the answer.
"In about three months there will be this test and there is only one way you can pass the test…" Itachi trailed off.
"Which is…?" Kyree was persistent.
"You have to be the last one alive." Itachi looked her straight in the eye. Kyree felt herself gulp on the inside. Itachi continued, "But enough of that right now you have to eat this." He said shoving the bowl of hot fruit in Kyree's face. She looked at him as if he was crazy.
"I don't really want to." She said shoving his hand to the side. He tilted his head to one side.
"But don't you want to feel better? This will help you." He said and once again tried to make her take it. She shook her head.
"Nope you said I needed to be tougher. I don't need your help to heal." She said turning her head to the side.
"There is a difference between being tough and being stupid. Right now you're just acting stupid. Now eat!" Itachi tried commanding her but that only made her more stubborn.
"I said no!" she said turning away. He sighed and took the food away from her. The two sat there for about ten seconds before Itachi heard Kyree's stomach growling. He couldn't help but smirk as he heard it.
"Hungry?" he asked half mocking her. She turned her head toward him trying to hide the fact that she was.
"No…I'm just-" she was interrupted by her stomach growling again. "Uhh…you know what I can start being tough tomorrow. I'll take that food now." She said as she reached for the fruit but Itachi grabbed it and moved it farther away.
"Nope you said you were going to be tough so I guess I'll just eat all of this fruit by myself." He said with a smirk while Kyree gave him a glare.
"Itachi Uchiha if you even touch that food I will reach down your throat and pull it back out." She threatened him. He just smirked again and put a piece of apple in his mouth. "That's it!" she lunged at the bowl of fruit only to be met by his hand holding her back. She growled as the two continued to fight over the food.
"Master Itachi…?" came a voice from behind them. Kyree stopped and turned her head until her eyes fell upon a girl that was standing behind them.
The girl was well built to say the least. Her muscles were showing beneath her tight pants and tank top. She had short silver hair that seemed to have a few leaves in it and her eyes were the Byakugan eyes that Naruto's friend Hinata had. The look she was giving the two right now was masking the anger Kyree could sense growing within her.
"Yes Kaza?" Itachi asked with a monotonous voice. Kyree moved away with the fruit.
"We were wondering what you wanted us to do now, we've finished training our Tai Jutsu for now." Kaza said impatiently and Kyree had a feeling that she wanted to get Itachi away from her.
"I don't care Kaza tell everyone to do whatever they please. I'm working with the new recruit here Kyree so if you don't mind." Itachi said swiftly and sternly. Kaza looked upset for a minute before returning to her calm demeanor.
"Yes of course Itachi-sama." She said before turning to leave. Before she was out of Kyree's earshot though she muttered, "Trying to steal my Itachi…" Kyree's eyebrows went up but she stayed quiet. The two sat there in uncomfortable silence before Itachi turned to her.
"So…can you share the fruit?" he asked causing Kyree to laugh.
"I don't know Itachi, you wouldn't let me have any…" she said holding the bowl up to his nose. He made a move for it but she pulled it away.
"Kyree, who's the one who holds the power here? I can train you if you share that fruit with me or I'll kill you if you don't." Itachi said with a smirk. Kyree thought about it.
"Then I for one choose death." She said while she ate half the bowl. Itachi looked at her with a shocked expression before using a gen-jutsu.
"What the?" Kyree asked herself as she began to see feathers appear in front of her eyes. Within five seconds she fell back on the ground, fast asleep. Itachi reached over and grabbed the bowl.
"My fruit…" he said simply as he started to eat.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Kyree woke the next morning, surprised to feel her body wrapped up in sheets. She opened her teal eyes and saw that she had somehow ended up in her room. 'Was that all a dream?' she asked herself as she sat up and stretched. She heard a knock at the door and watched as Kumiko popped her head in.
"Oh good Kyree you're home. You must have snuck in sometime last night after I went to bed. Well Kakashi is here and needs to tell us something important so you might want to hurry and get up." She said happily before closing the door and Kyree distinctly heard her whistling.
'Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to get her and Kakashi together.' She thought as she threw the covers off of her. She was caught off guard when she found her headband and a new outfit at her feet. Their was a small note attached to the top of the outfit. It read:
Kyree:
Just thought you might like to wake up in your own bed. I also thought this outfit would let you move more freely in battle. Don't come for awhile though…something's not right.
Itachi
Kyree hid the note in her pillowcase before she picked the outfit up. It was two pieces that were completely black, except for two large red stripes running down both sides. It revealed that the top was sewn together like a midriff top and the pants were snug and went down to her shins. She looked herself over in the mirror before attaching her weapon cases to the outfit and walking out of the room.
"Oh here she is…uhh nice outfit Kyree." Kumiko said slightly uncertain of her friends' choice in clothes. Kyree just stood there with a stubborn look on her face as if saying, "Hey I like it so deal with it." Kakashi coughed from the corner.
"Alright." He started shaking his head from side to side. "We have more important issues than Kyree's style sense. We have just received word from the Hokage about Itachi and so Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto are all out scouting." He finished while opening his one eye.
"What's the news Kakashi?" Kumiko asked as she walked over toward him. He looked at Kyree before continuing.
"Well it seems that Itachi has a large team of ninja's that he is training somewhere in the forest. Now most of these are already known rouge ninja but that's not our biggest problem. It seems that he has recruited a new ninja from this village and that is our biggest threat since we don't know who it is." Kakashi said as serious as he could. Kumiko's eyes grew wide while Kyree stood there whishing she could turn invisible at this moment.
"Are we sure about this Kakashi?" Kumiko asked as the second girl tried as hard as she could to pretend she was trying to figure out who it was. She reminded herself that later she needed to sign up for acting lessons.
"Yes we're sure Kumiko, the Hokage has asked you and me to meet him in his office but since I told him Kyree was sick from the rain last night he said she could take the day and rest." Kakashi said with a smile. Kyree simply nodded before turning and walking toward her room. She heard the front door close behind her.
'Now I know why Itachi told me not to come, he knows he's being watched to find out who is working with him. From now on this is his and my secret.' She thought as she fell down onto the bed.
