A/N—sorry for the later update but would you believe me if I told you I completely forgot about it? Well it's true. I actually have all the way up to chapter 15 done, I just don't want to mass upload because I might get writers block or something, but enough of my ramble on to the chapter!!

Recap—"Fine, then I'll kill you" I answered coldly as I charged him. I knew I was going to win before the battle even started because I entered the fight with the notion to kill him and he entered the battle the simply knock me out. I wasn't going to let myself loose to him.

STORY

I swung my weapon wildly at him focusing my wind type chakra into it. My weapon wasn't making any contact, but he was still getting sliced up from the wind. I was going back to Orochimaru one way or another.

"Tell me, where are you going that could be so important that you have to kill me so I keep my mouth shut?" He asked as he dodged another blow "You gonna become a missing Nin?"

"Why must you know? You'll be dead before the hours up" I answered as I tried to get behind him.

"You would really kill me, your friend?" I hurled a kunai at him which he dodged.

"Yes, I will kill you. That is what my new alliance requires me to do, so I'll do it. I'll do anything for him" I knew I'd said too much but I couldn't help it. If he was going onto the other world I wanted him to know. I decided that when I was just about to make the final blow I would tell him who I am working for, he disserves that much.

"So… it's for a guy?" He pulled out his weapon of choice, a sword, and prepared to fight me seriously.

"The best man in the world" I answered happily.

"You know you'll have to kill Yukichi too don't you? He will come looking for you" My mood dampened slightly, he was right—I would have to kill Yukichi, but I would do it for Orochimaru-sama.

"I know…but I'll do anything for him, he accepts the real me"

"We do accept you, we love you" I shook his words off, I would not be so easily swayed from Orochimaru-sama.

"Enough talk" I grabbed more kunai and infused them with my chakra "Prepare to leave with dignity" I threw all of them at him then charged him.

I swung my hook up and hooked it onto a tree branch and swung myself at him attempting to land a kick on his chest even though I knew it was a failed effort. He dodged and jumped up the branch to try to disarm me. I grinned, he fell for it. I infused my chain with my fire chakra and felt it heat up. It was getting very hot, anyone who touched it that wasn't me—was sure to get burned.

"OW THAT'S HOT" I laughed, this was going to be easy, he wouldn't be able to through kunai properly now his hands were burned. He wasn't even the best marksmen when his hands were in good shape let alone bad. He would have to rely on hand to hand combat, and I'm much better at that then long distance fighting.

I transformed the skin on my hands to a more reptilian skin. Satsuma swung hard with his sword and if I was going to take it I didn't want my hands to fail.

I prepared my hook and chain for another round with Satsuma and waited. He would have to make the first move and if he wasn't fast I was going to leave and he knew that. If he gave me no cause to kill him I would leave him his life and take my leave, but he was giving me no choice.

He came at me again throwing kunai to distract me. I saw through it though and simply ran up the tree. He followed me up, up, up until I turned around and jumped at him. If he didn't want to go crashing down to the earth with me he would move, but if he moved I would get the advantage of being on the ground.

He dodged and just as I was about to fall past him he grabbed me and fell with me cutting me with a kunai as he did this. I hissed and swung my kunai around the both of us so he couldn't release me or attack me or force me into the ground when we got to the ground.

So we fell head first towards the ground, I knew I would survive this—I wasn't so sure about Satsuma though. I twisted my head and looked at his face, his eyes were scared and he looked like he was crying. I felt guilty in that second we fell towards the hard unforgiving ground. I wasn't sure if he was upset he was about to die or sad he was letting me get away and failing Konoha.

I started to transform my body into something smaller, to him I bet I looked like I was shrinking, which I was—in a sense. What I was really doing was transforming into something smaller so he would hit the ground before me and take the hit—I would only get the after shock.

Then he started talking to me, only I couldn't make out what he was saying. It looked like he was saying something about Olive Juice though—whatever that meant. Then I closed my eyes and waited for the impact that came from the wrong direction.

I felt my breath leave my body and something warm—blood all over my back. I turned to glare at my interrupter.

He land on a tree, clearly in pain and put us down—already out of breath. The blood came from a wound on his should which never healed properly after his encounter with me because it kept re-opening.

"Kakashi, what are you doing here?" I hissed. That man, always late when you wanted him and always there when you didn't want or need him.

"I realized who gave me this injury and wanted to pay them a visit before they ran out of the village. So here I am, Kira" he answered quickly without missing a beat.

"You did that to Kakashi Kira?" Satsuma gasped.

"Yes… I did"

"Kira don't do this" Satsuma started to beg but Kakashi stopped him.

"Kira is no longer an ally of ours. She is our enemy and a very powerful one not only because she is strong but also because she has a hold on us mentally" I grinned at least he got it.

"But Kira…" Satsuma started again as I picked my weapon up and started to prepare for battle again.

"Is now working for Orochimaru" Kakashi stated while glaring at me "How could you betray Konoha like this?" he hissed.

"It was easy, I just up and left" I laughed. I guess Kakashi was good for something because Satsuma started getting ready to fight again. "You both know too much, Orochimaru-sama wouldn't like it if I let you guys live" I stared at them both.

Kakashi started to immediately gather chakra into his hand to create a chidori while Satsuma focused his chakra into his sword.

"So what level of ninja to him are you?" Satsuma asked.

I laughed "Well let's just say Kabuto's out of the job… I'll show you why…" I trailed off as I put my weapons away. It didn't matter anymore; Kakashi already knew what I could do.

I fell forward and immediately felt muscles that weren't human beginning to grow. I felt stronger and more powerful. I could do things in this body that I would never have been able to do in my old body.

Then I started to feel itchy all over as the fur started to grow. It was unpleasant but the sensation quickly vanished. My clothes shredded like a cocoon and I the butterfly.

I stared at their faces and saw the fear, I couldn't help but smile. I knew this was how they were going to look at me if I ever decided to show them what I could do.

"Kira?" Satsuma asked in a tiny voice. He only used that voice when he was terrified.

In an answer to his question I let out an earsplitting roar. The kind of roar only the king of the jungle could give—I was a tiger. The perfect cat for this terrain, I would blend in the trees and the bark was just right for me to sink my claws into it.

I rolled my shoulders and prepared to pounce leaning over to pick up the scroll that stored my things as I did so. And then I jumped at Kakashi, claws extended.

Blood spilled from what was left of his arm. If was still attached—barely. That would heal easily and without medical attention soon, he would die. I went for his leg next—I couldn't allow him to run off and get the others to help him. I am powerful in this form but I don't think I'm strong enough to take on all the ninjas Tsunade would send after me.

Kakashi was fast but not fast enough; his leg was so destroyed I don't think it would ever be good enough to walk on again. Kakashi fell backwards as the chakra in his hands disappeared to keep him alive as he crashed to the ground.

"And then there was one…" I spoke to Satsuma; he took a step back shaking. "A ninja never runs from a fight Satsuma, you're shaming your village, tsk, tsk" I laughed at Satsuma's face paled and his lips grew taunt.

Then I charged. Once again my claws were extended. Satsuma didn't even try to dodge, he was paralyzed with fear. Finishing him was easy—I left him and Kakashi there lying on the ground bleeding to death as I ran away carrying my single scroll into the night.

A/N—I suck at fight seens sorry!
