I bent over an unconscious Zuki as I heard the door swing open. Konan stood in shock at the sight of me leaning over her due to the state she was in.
"What did you do to her?" She asked in a calm voice as she closed the door and made her way over to the bed.
"The door was open when I got here. And she was already like this.
"Caught in your spell."Zuki suddenly called out smashing several glass items and making my head ring.
"I think she is just asleep. The door must have thought she was in danger due to the quickness of her falling asleep." Konan said her voice still calm
"One day you'll say that I am stronger than you, you, you" On every you it felt like someone was hitting me over the head.
"I think she may release Chakra in her sleep via singing." I said.
"So you felt it too then? And am I right in guessing that it was you who was eavesdropping on our conversation this morning?" I nodded
"One day you'll say that I am stronger than you, you, you."On every you both Konan and I flinched.
"I think we may have to leave before we get injured." I said sincerely. Konan nodded and walked with me to the door. We smiled at each other in relief after we had shut the door. By the sound of it Zuki had already soundproofed her room with Chakra so that none of us could hear her sing. Konan quickly slid a note under Zuki's door.
"When she wakes up she has to come and see Pein." She explained. We parted ways shortly after. I went straight to the training room. Heaven only knows where Konan went.

I awoke to an empty room with several smashed glass ornaments.
"Oh crap. Damn Chakra releasing sleep singing." I said with sigh. I stood up and noticed a note pushed under the door. It read
Dear Zuki-chan
I came by and you were asleep so I left you this note. When you wake up come and see me and Leader-Sama in our quarters.
From
Konan
I sighed again.
"Great. I have a meeting with Piercings and Konan-Chan. Joy." I said as I walked into the large and spacious bathroom. I turned on the shower and gently started to strip. I nicked a couple of nearly healed wounds on my arm and took a sharp intake of breath. I stepped into the scalding water and sat down. I never stood up during showers. I hated standing up. The cascading water hurt my injuries. I started to rub shampoo into my scalp and relished the feeling of nails on skin. I stood up momentarily to wash off the shampoo and winced as boiling water washed over half-healed openings in skin.
"Steady just
Three last words
'I love you' is all she heard
And I'll wait for you
But I can't wait for ever
Steady just
Three last words
'I love you' is all she heard
And I'll wait for you
But I can't wait forever
And I can't make it on my own
Cause my heart is in Ohio
So cut my wrists and black my eye's
So I can't fall asleep tonight
And I
Because you kill me
You know you do
You kill me well
You'd like it too
And I can tell
You'll never stop until
My final breath is gone."
That wasn't the whole song and I knew it. But I knew I would get the rest soon. I hated it when I thought of a song. But couldn't think of the rest. I sighed as I rubbed conditioner into my hair making sure it went from root to tip. I thought of were I was and suddenly remembered something. They had said I was in the Village hidden in the Rain right? Well then that meant that I had family nearby. And with Family I could send a message to Sakura-Neechan. She was sure to know what was going on by now. I smiled for the first time since I had arrived here and stepped out of the shower cubicle. I toweled my body dry but left my hair. That would dry straight anyway. I got dressed. Black combats, Black sleevless top and attachable sleeves. There were no scars on my shoulders so the rest of me was covered. I finally brushed my hair making sure the piece that hung in front of my face was in place before taking a deep breath and heading out the door to face Ko-chan and Piercings.

Dammit. I had no idea about Zuki. She was so bad. Her arms. They looked like.... I can't even say it. This is me. The fearless Itachi Uchiha getting flustered by a girl. An incredibly broken girl, but a girl none the less. I wonder if my brother knew about this. Probably not. I sighed as I made my way to the training room. I knew the rest of the 'group' would be in the kitchen devouring the contents of the fridge/cupboards. I would go in later, when they had finished and eat. I wondered if Zuki-chan..... Wait. Where did the 'chan' come from?
"I really need to train." I sighed. I reached our training room and almost threw myself at the training post. I heard footsteps coming up behind me. I insticivily turned and threw a Kunai at the mystery person. I froze when I found out who it was. Zuki had come in behind me and I had thrown a sharp weapon at her. She caught it though. Between her index and thumb. She flipped it and smiled at me.
"Leader-sama said that you are to test my strength, but not to kill me. I think that includes throwing sharp ninja weapons at my head." She said in a light voice. Little did she know that i detected the underlaying note of sadness in her voice. I knew why it was there but I didn't say anything.
"Hn." Was my only reply. I couldn't let her get to me. Otherwise that was it. I would be head over heels and tyed up in knots and she would be the only one able to untie me. I sighed.
"Take up stance." I commanded. She threw the kunai back to me with a smirk. Man this chick was cold. She stood, arms folded across chest, about three metres away from me.
"Take up stance" I repeated.
"I am." She replied. She hadn't moved. I internally shrugged and activated my sharingan. She smirked again and started to do hand-signs. They were so fast even I couldn't detect what they were. I knew that by know Leader-sama would be watching through the one way window at the end of the training room.
"Angel of Death. Haruno style." I heard Zuki say as her hand signs stopped on horse. She started to rise up, her hair whipping round her face like a halo. Her eyes were turning from green/blue to black nad her scars on her arms/legs/face were no longer there. She pointed to be but before she could say anything I pulled three Shuriken out of my holster and had thrown them at her. Knowing that she could heal herself incredible well. They bounced off about a foot from my intended target
"Heh. You think you can beat me. You can't even touch me when I'm like this. Pah. Your dead little man." She said. I no longer recognised that voice. It wasn't Zuki's voice. It was the voice of a killer. Of a survivor. She pointed to me again.
"Knock out." She whispered. Before I could react the world went black.

"Well she's strong I'll give her that." I said to Konan after Zuki had knocked Itachi out. We watched as she changed back. She landed on her feet staying up for about three seconds before collapsing herself. Konan quickly headed for the door. I caught her arm
"Don't worry. I have heard about this. It is only temporary. She'll wake up in three, two, one." I said. Just as I had finished saying One Zuki sat up. She rubbed the back of her hand before getting to her feet. She smiled slightly at the unconcious Uchiha before pointing to him.

Suddenly there was light. Bright light that hurt my eye's. When my eye's had adjusted I opened them fully to see Zuki stood leaning against the door frame, arms folded and smirk on her half-reveaked face.
"That was good Haruno." I said.
"Whatever Uchiha." She replied. I sensed that both Pein and Konan had left the other room so I took my chance.
"Zuki wait." I called as she turned to walk out of the door. She slowly turned back and started to walk towards me.
"What Uchiha." She said coldly as she got near. Before she could react I was in front of her my lips crashing down.
Emziiee-xxx: O.K WTF!!!
Itachi: I dunno. It was spur of the moment
Zuki: It's O.K. I kinda liked it.
Emziiee-xxx: O.o
