I do not own Naruto or any of its characters. I do own Cresellia, the main character in the story. Don't flame please. If you don't like it, don't read it.

Hidan burst through the door, his chakra raging. I wondered if everyone got like this; angry and dangerous. I had only met him once when he was in the middle of watching television, when his chakra was idle. Now he seemed pissed, scary almost. I wanted to open my eyes to see him and his anger, but I knew it would be detrimental. He got closer to Konan and I sat up, pushing my weight up with my arms to get a clearer report.

"Get your asses out here. It's a fucking ambush!" With that, Hidan was gone, but I felt other chakras rush towards, then past the doors; Itachi and Kisame were followed by Zetsu and Kakuzu and then…Deidara. I blushed again. No! He's my p…partner. I can't think of things like that. Deidara wasn't rushing too much and he even paused when he came to the door. Konan inched me forward, lightly pushing on my shoulders towards the boy, giving me my black cloak on the way out.

"Keep your kekke genkai, just wait 'till the enemies are in front of you to open your eyes." Konan said before Deidara and I rushed out. She helps me whenever she sees me with her little bits of wisdom. I felt her chakra receed to the back with Leader. I swore Konan and Pein had a 'thing' for each other.

"They're outside. The kyuubi, the pink haired witch and the Hatake are here. Be on guard." He almost sounded serious about being on guard. He never showed any emotion regarding my safety. I nodded as we reached the outside area. Three unfamiliar pulsating chakras threatened my new found home. Were they from Yuki? No. I didn't want to leave! Itachi and Kisame were towards the front and the others to either side. I couldn't make out anyone clearly; chakras were flaring in every direction, clouding my view on the intruders in front of me.

Everything was eerily silent until an annoying male voice piped up. My god did I want that voice gone.

"Where's Sasuke?" It called out. What, or who, was a Sasuke? As if on cue, Itachi's chakra soared over everyone else's. My head began to hurt immensely. Apparently this was his battle to fight.

"My little brother is not here." He was a man of few words. In fact, this was the first time I heard him speak multiple syllable sentences. I was glad that I wasn't the one these three were after. Though, I wasn't completely positive I'd be safe here for long. My village had probably hired Yukigakure ninja to come find me and bring me back. Strange thing was…I didn't want to leave.

"You're lying!" The instigating one called out again. Apparently he didn't know that Itachi was not the lying type. He had only spoken to me once, and everything he said was true about the organization. I sure trusted him, and nothing named 'Sasuke' was here.

Then it began; two of them jumped to Hidan, leaving the annoying one to fight the rest. I wondered why they left the rest of us to fight the annoying one. Was Hidan really that strong? I

I felt three of our team move towards Hidan…or did Hidan and the two enemies move towards us? Deidara tensed up and Kisame unleashed his sword, bringing another chakra into play. My mind was covered in colored shapes and hues. All of them mashed and meshed together and suddenly everything felt wobbly. I couldn't make anything out. My head felt dizzy, my mind fuzzy. After too long, my eyes forced themselves open.

Everything was so clear! There were so many colors and shapes! I could see Hidan taking on a tall pink haired girl and an older man with a mask while, who I believed was Itachi and Kisame, took on a blonde boy dressed in bright orange. Even Deidara was clear. His hair was so beautiful; kept up in a ponytail. His eyes were so beautiful, his chesk and arms chiseled to perfection. My face heated up before I glanced back to the battlefield, just outside the base. Kakuzu, who looked like a zombie, and Tobi, wearing an orange mask went to help Hidan when I felt a surge of chakra run through me. It felt as if I was going to get sick. My vision clouded before long.

"Cresellia?" I heard someone call. It sounded like Itachi's voice. Being a holder of a kekke genkai of the eye, he may have been the best one to go to for help on everything after this. "Cres-" everything was slipping out of my control.

"Everyone get behind me!" was all I could say. It was my first and final warning. Before I knew it, everyone but our three guests was a safe distance behind me, except for Deidara, who was directly behind me for some reason. Did they all sense something coming? I closed my eyes in attempt to concentrate, but it just made everything worse because the vibrantly colored pulsations came back. My eyes shot open as my final embrace of sight took hold, and then faded back into black. All went blank and dark and cold afterwards. I felt a strong pair of arms catch me before I hit the ground.

Everything was so cold and dark; darker than usual. It was lonely.

Thanks for reading up until now. I'll have more out soon. =] R&R
