" Sakura DROP DEAD" I demand not aware that I'm no longer in Ichigo's. Kakashi had transported me, us, to the training grounds. My breathing shortens and I feel feverish. I grit my teeth preparing for the surge. It crawls up from my toes and reaches my eyes putting me in darkness.

MIKA

My white hair fades to yellow as I watch. It never failed to amuse me; watching my own transformation. I stretch my arms and leg to prevent future complications like another time when I didn't think to do it. I couldn't move for the first 5 hours I was out. Kakashi is staring at me. I haven't gotten to see him in a very long time. No change, but I've still missed him.

"Akiri should really get some clothes for me" I say trying to start up a conversation. But I'm serious my breast are too big for this small shirt. "Kakashi-kun stop staring please". He immediately looks away plastering back on his emotionless mask.

"Mika-sama" He begins. "Mika or Mika-chan will do just fine" I interrupt. I do love his acknowledgment of my rank, but I rather be on friendly terms. He nods.

"Mika, Sakura didn't do it maliciously, she didn't know" He lies. I roll my eyes. "That's very nice of you Kaka-kun, but she did, and she will be dealt with accordingly. Now let's return before they leave." I say nicely, but asserting my authority. We poof back to the shop. He opens the door for me and we walk in. Sakura is still begging for Sasuke's attention and Naruto is eating. They look over at us.

"Sensei where's Akiri?" Naruto asks concerned and completely ignoring me. We walk over to them.

"She's ok Naruto don't worry" I answer.

"Who are you?" He asks.

"I'm Kagutsuchi's daughter, Mika" I say smiling. His mouth drops in amazement. I look at Sasuke who is also speechless. "Hello Sasuke" I say but he doesn't respond. I walk to Sakura who is still clutching the book. I smile at her and grab one of her hands.

"Sakura" I say as I heat up my hands. She winces in pain and tries to pull away but I hold on tighter and create a small fire in my hands then I put it out.

"If you ever speak of Anima of the Ryu clan again I will do much worse than that." I wan her. I turn to Kakashi, "All done, let's go" Kakashi and I leave the shop and walk aimlessly around town.

"I'm not going to the Hokage" I inform him. "I'm not staying out much longer" We sit on a grassy hill over looking the beautiful sunset. "I'm sleepy" I warn him of my next move. I scoot into him and lie my head on his shoulder and drift asleep.

AKIRI

I open my eyes and see Kakashi looking up at the moon. Remembering my last words I panic. I killed her! No!

"Sakura?" I ask worried for her life. He looks down at me and smiles through his mask.

"She's ok, although Mika burned her a bit" He says. I suppose that is better than being dead. I force a smile and stand to my feet. He copies me.

"Well I told Sasuke I'd help him train so I should get goin" I say.

"See you tomorrow. You will be helping teaching" He says before I could say 'no' he vanishes. i Laugh and walk back home. I enter the apartment and Sasuke is waiting on the couch. "Ok let's go Sasuke" I sing, He gets up and follows me out to the training ground. I turn around to face him. He wait for my command. His flawless face focusing on me make me nervous.

"Tonight class we will be working on chakra" I imitate Sakura's voice. He nods not finding it funny. " Ok. First off we will be meditating so sit" He sits. "Now closed your eyes and don't think, just try to do whatever you do when you activate your Sharingan, but direct it to your feet." He looks confused, but closes his eyes anyways. I sit down in front of him and wait.

"I think I have it" He announces. I spring up. "Good, now come with me. Don't let go of that feeling." I instruct as I lead him to a tall tree. "Now watch me" I say as I step on to the tree. He isn't impressed. I guess thats what you get when you have Itachi as a brother. I hold out my hand to help him on to it. He steps on but falls off. I reach for him again.

"Concentrate on your feet" . He steps on to it and this time stays for awhile. "Good" I say stepping down. I step back on behind him. He looks over his shoulder to make sure I'm still here. "Go" I say. He begins walking, but then he looses his connection and falls on top of me. Then I fall to the ground. I close my eyes tightly for impact. A pressure is pushing down on my body. I open my eyes and see Sasuke on top of me.

"Are you ok?" He asks.

"I will be when you get off of me" I let out in my last breath. He jumps up and faces the tree hiding his face from me. Not going to help me up I see. I get up and dust myself off. "Again" I tell him. He nods and tries again. Hours later we are both at the tops of trees that are close to each other, but we are face to face.

"So Mika really is inside of you?" He asks. I hop over to his branch so that I wouldn't have to broadcast it. "yup"

"How did that happen?" He asks. I don't know weather it's because he wants to hear it form me or he just doesn't trust Sakura.

"Just like Sakura said" I reassure him .

"So that was all true about your mom too?" He asks searching for the answer on my face. I Hop down branch to branch and reach the ground.

"Let's go we're all training with Kakashi today" I call up to him. We walk to out training ground. Sakura is sitting on a tree stump coddling her bandaged hand, and Naruto is trying to see her hand. Naruto sees us and runs up to me.

"Akiri, can you do what you did to yourself to Sakura's hand?" He asks hoping for a positive answer. If it were anyone else asking I would have said NO, but since it's Naruto I walk over to Sakura. She doesn't pay attention to me. I sigh and activate my eyes.

"Sakura" I say her name still pissed at her. She looks up at me. "Heal" I command before she could look away. I deactivate my eyes and walk back over to Naruto and Sasuke. Sakura screams out in pain.

"Sakura, are you ok?" Kakashi asks out of nowhere. We all look up and see him in the tree with his dirty book. He tucks it away and jumps down.

"No Akiri hurt my hand again" She wines. I laugh "Take off that bandage and you will see that I've done the opposite" She unwraps her bandage carefully and sees that her hand is back to normal.

"It looks like your hand was healed" Kakashi says. Naruto thanks me. I smile at him as a 'you are welcome' and we walk over to Kakashi.

"Today Akiri will be helping me teach you all" Kakashi lets them know, but Sakura gets even more jealous

"But wy?" She wines more.

"Because If you had actually done your homework on me correctly you would have found out that I graduated from the Academy when I was 8" I shut her up.

"Now if you two are done bickering we could get started on our chakra lessen" He says. Ouch he's usually on my side. I smile to Sasuke who looks proud of himself. After several failed attempts by Naruto he finally makes it up the tree. I should have helped him instead.

"All right that's all for today; tomorrow we have our first mission. So get some rest" Kakashi announces.

"YAY!"Naruto screams jumping in to the air. Poor Naruto it's not as amazing as it sounds. Kakashi walks off.

"Sasuke-kun. . . Will you walk me home? I don't want to get mugged" Sakura asks filling her damsel in distress shoes. Sasuke ignores her as usual. I expect Naruto is next in offering her a walk home, but he doesn't. He walks right past her and up to me.

"I'm trying reverse psychology" He winks at me. I laugh.

"Naruto?" She asks. He quickly turns to face her thinking his plan has worked, "Don't even think about asking to walk me home" Ouch. Whatever happened to 'beggars can't be choosers'? Poor Naruto, he sulks away. Saukra shoves past me and mutters "Teacher's pet". I laugh to piss her off.

"What did she say?" Sasuke asks. "She called me a teacher's pet" I laugh again and he smiles.

"Do you want to train tonight?" Sasuke asks. What a gunner! I can't blame him though that's what you have to do to be the best.

"Not really. I need to go shopping. Wanna come?" I ask in a joking manner not expecting him to respond. "Sure" He agrees.
