Alright, this one's a little short, but I promise you the next chapter is almost finished and very long. Now, I LOVE your reviews! I hope I get more from this chapter! You guys are the only ones that are keeping this story going on, Thanks!!

Disclaimer: ... Huh? What? Oh, I only own a few characters such as Kira, Kikyo, Banyruu, Brad and Julie. Also this won't be here in future chapters. I think you can figure out who's made up and who's not Alright??

As we walked into the dungeons, I was a little excited. We would finally see who the three-tailed fox demon was sealed inside and, better yet, get it's power soon. We were planning on taking the demon out of the person it's sealed inside. It would kill the person as a side effect, but it wouldn't really matter. The Akatsuki were heartless, and since I was with them, I was as well. My robe flowed around my feet as we approched the cell. It was dark and damp down here, and it took awhile for my eyes to adjust. Then Itachi lit a lamp and set it down on top of the cage in which the demon was in.

"Here's the demon, and don't be fooled by her cuteness," Itachi replied and I peered into the cage. I saw black hair and a face that I recognized. I wasn't sure if my eyes were playing tricks on me or not. I blinked and looked closer. Yes! I was right. It was Kikyo, the girl that I had known when I was little. We used to be good friends, that is until our village burned to the ground. I thought I was the only survivor, I guess I was wrong I thought and looked around at the others to see if they had realized I recognized her. They seemed as they had before, and I was thankful.

"Sasori, un?" Deidara asked. I turned my attention to him.

"What?" I asked annoyed. He smiled at this.

"What do you think of her, un?" he asked me. I gave him a cold stare and replied heartlessly,"Nothing. I think nothing of her and I can't wait until we extract the demon." He smiled at this and nodded his head. I don't know what to think actually I thought. She's my friend, but I've joined the Akatsuki now. I don't need her. But I should help her, I mean, she helped me I thought and finalized my decision. I would help her, even if it took my own life.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I felt cold stone beneath me and stirred a bit. I then remembered everything that had happened and that Itachi had knocked me out.

He'll pay for that I thought harshly. I heard voices and I thought I recognized one, but I shrugged it off.

"Look who's awake," Itachi said in a sweet voice. I reached down to my weapons pouch and realized it wasn't there. I heard Itachi laugh at my attempt.

"Do you really think I'm that stupid? I disarmed you before I put you in there," I heard him say again in his sweet voice which was grating on my nerves.

"You could've fooled me on that one Itachi," I snarled at him and I heard snickers in the room. It wasn't just Itachi in here with me.

"You are not in the position to back talk me Kikyo. You are the one in the cage drained of chakra," Itachi hissed, already loosing his patience with me. I snickered at him and sat up. It took most of my strength, but I managed. I looked out of the cage and all I saw were black robes with red clouds on them. The Akatsuki huh? I thought as I looked at their faces. I saw a plant looking dude, and guy... or a girl, I couldn't tell, Itachi, a guy who looked like a shark and the thought 'Sharky' crossed my mind, a guy with white hair, and a boy with red hair. He looked very familiar, but I didn't know. I racked my brains until it finally came to me: Sasori! We were friends when we were little, until the village was destroyed. I searched for survivors, but everybody was dead. I looked him up and down and gave him a distasteful glare. He was staring at me, but I couldn't see his emotions. Itachi then started to laugh. I turned my glare at him, but now it was pure hatred.

"It looks like she doesn't like you either Sasori," Itachi said, ignoring my death glare. Sasori nodded his head, but didn't take his gaze off me. I looked the other way, and I suddenly felt chakra coursing through me.

"The bars of this cage prevents us from breaking through, but you can still take my chakra and at least choke him," Banyruu said to me and I laughed inside.

So your getting sick of him too eh? I said to him, refering to Itachi. I heard him laugh and he gave me more chakra. It was now visible, black chakra swarming around me and giving me strength.

"You can't break free Kikyo. The bars are specially made where you can't break out," he said laughing. I now was thourouly pissed at him. I forced the chakra between the bars and slammed Itachi up against the wall by his neck. He was stuggling under the grip, but then the fish dude cut my chakra off. I snarled at him, my teeth increasingly getting sharper. The chakra around me now started to form my nails into claws and my already sharp teeth becoming fangs.

"So this is the demon, heh Itachi?" asked the fish guy and I snarled at him. He smirked at me.

"Yes Kisame. This is the demon, but she is much stronger than what she is showing," Itachi replied, now standing up from the ground and glaring at me. I snarled at him again and I grew a chakra tail, now whipping around my feet and snaking it's way toward Itachi.

"Oh no you don't!" Itachi yelled at me and made a few handsigns. I still snaked my way toward his feet, but then felt a sharp pain in my head. I could hear Banyruu cursing, but that was all I could really hear. The pain increased and I fell to my knees holding my head in my hands. I then saw Itachi in my mind.

"So this is your demon huh?" he asked me. I just glared at him as he walked closer to Banyruu's cage. Banyruu came close to slashing him with his claws, but he was just out of reach. I heard Banyruu growl at Itachi, but he just laughed.

"You will be mine soon Banyruu. Then, you will reign again," Itachi said and disappeared. The pain in my head slowly went away and I came back to the present. Banyruu's chakra was gone, but I could feel some strength still left in me. I was panting hard as if I had just run a marathon and I was bent down on my hands and knees.

"What did you do to her Itachi?" Kisame asked with a smile on his face. I looked back down at the ground and concentrated on my breathing. Itachi laughed.

"I took a look at her demon was all. And I have to say, it sure is powerful," he said and started laughing again. I glared at him and sat down. I cought a glimpse of Sasori and I could've sworn I saw worry in his eyes, but I dismissed the thought. He was with the Akatsuki now, cold blooded killers, he wouldn't care if I lived or died.

I have to find a way out before he takes Banyruu I thought as I sat down and stared at the ground.

"So Kikyo, will you let us have Banyruu, or will we have to do it by force?" Itachi asked. I stared at him as if he were stupid. Then my stare turned to anger.

"Over my dead body," I said in a low threateningly voice. Itachi glared at me.

"So be it," he said and walked out of the room. The others followed him and after I heard the doors shut, I collapsed on the ground once more. I eventually fell into a deep sleep but, unknown to me, a puppet watched me from the shadows.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Kira, Kira wake up," I heard a voice waking me up from my sleep. I opened my eyes and stared into onyx colored eyes. I was starting to get lost in those wonderful eyes when I heard Tsume snarl. I tore my gaze away from Sasuke and looked over to him. He was staring at us and he was growling at me.

"What do you want Tsume?" I asked him growling right back. I stood up and stood in front of Sasuke and took a stance. Tsume growled a bit more, but restrained himself from attacking.

"Kiba wants you," he said and stalked off. I snickered at him and turned to Sasuke.

"Kiba wants you," I said, trying to mimick Tsume's voice. He laughed and I realized this was the first time I had heard him laugh. I smiled, he should laugh more I thought before saying bye to Sasuke and followed where Tsume disappeared. I walked out into a clearing and I saw Kiba sitting there, alone. I walked up to him and smiled.

"Yeah?" I asked him and sat down in front of him. He smiled as well, but I saw he had a little concern in his eyes. I looked at him with curiosity, but I didn't show it. He started to talk, but he shut his jaws and it was as if he was thinking over something very important. I cocked my head at him and waited for him to speak. He looked at me again and then looked down at the ground.

"What I'm about to say to you may shock you," he said and looked at me to see my reaction. I was a little confused, but other than that, I was excited about what he was going to say next. He saw this and let out a sigh that I didn't know he was holding in and looked at me a little thankful.

"Remember when I asked you who you were staying with before you learned of your wolf half?" he asked me and I nodded my head to tell him that I did. He then continued.

"The reason I knew that was because... I knew your mother," he said and looked at me again. I gasped at this information and my mind didn't even have time to think before I started blurting out questions.

"Where is she? Why did she leave me? And how do you know her?" I asked him and he smiled a weak smile that was hardly noticable.

"Well, she is still alive, but I'm not sure where and the reason she left you was to protect you. You must understand that. All she wanted was for you to be safe," he said and looked at me with pleading in his eyes. I slowly nodded my head, letting it all sink in. She's alive? I thought.

"You still didn't answer my last question, how do you know her?" I asked again. He looked at me a little scared and answered my question while looking into my eyes.

"I'm your father," he replied, still staring into my eyes. This shocked me more than knowing my mother was alive. Things I had thought about when I was a child now came whirring through my head. Before I knew what I was doing, I realized I was yelling at him.

"Where were you?! Where was my mother?! Why did you leave?" I whispered out the last part and I felt tears running down my face.

"Kira," he said, but the next thing I knew I was runnig through the woods, tears streaming down my face. I realized I was coming to the edge, but I didn't stop. I just kept running. When I came to the cliff overlooking Darcia's keep, I stopped and some pebbles flew off the cliff. I looked around and ran to my right. Some people would think I was terrified and trying to run away from something. That was half true.

"Hey Kira, what yo-" I heard Toboe and I looked to see Toboe and Hige dragging a dead deer. I ran even faster, passing them with Toboe yelling after me.

"Kira, what's wrong? Are you ok?" I kept running until I reached a cave. I walked inside and it was cool and a little damp. I laid down in the corner of the cave and tried to stop crying. It didn't wotk very well, but I went from tears streaming down my face to a few slipping down every now and then.

"Kira!" I heard Sasuke call and my head shot up at his voice. They're looking for me I thought and I was going to meet him, but decided against it. I was still crying when the shadow of a wolf blocked the cave enterance. I didn't know who it was, but I turned my head so I wouldn't have to see them. I heard the wolf walk over to me and sit down. I looked up at it and all I saw were gray eyes.

"Kiba told us everything," the wolf replied and I was startled to hear Tsume's cold voice. I nodded my head and turned my face again.

"Why wouldn't you let him talk to you?" he asked me and I heard his voice soften a little. I sniffed and looked at him.

"I don't know. I couldn't take it anymore, I guess," I replied and started to ask myself the same question. Because you're afraid of your past I thought to myself. I agreed with myself and didn't realize Tsume was talking to me.

"Kira!" he yelled right in my ear. I flinched a little and glared at him.

"You don't have to be so loud," I growled at him and he smirked.

"At least I have the old Kira back," he said and smiled. Once again, I realized it was the first time he smiled. Stupid emo people and all their problems I thought to myself as Sasuke popped into my mind. I smiled at myself as I pictured him in my mind. His beautiful eyes and raven colored-

"Why are you smiling all of a sudden?" Tsume asked and I snapped back to reality.

"I realized I finally saw you smile," I lied. He gave a smirk.

"Well, your special. You're the first to ever see me smile," he said and I barked out a laugh. He smirked again and I shoved him a little with my paw.

"So do you want to talk to Kiba?" he asked me. My smile disappeared at the thought and I sighed. I had to face him sometime, and sooner was better than later.

"I guess," I sighed and stood up. Tsume also stood and started to walk out of the small cave. I followed, but reluctantly. When we came back to where the others were, I stopped before I entered the clearing.

"Come on," Tsume whispered to me. I took a deep breath and walked out into the clearing, but stopped after I got out of the shadows. Sasuke looked a little pissed and glared at Tsume. The others were looking at me as if wondering what I was going to do next. Kiba stood there, staring at me with sadness in his eyes.

"I'm sorry Kira," he whispered and I barely heard him. I nodded my head, not trusting my voice at the moment. He walked over to me and I tensed, ready to run, but I didn't know why I did that. He stopped as soon as he saw this and looked at me carefully.

"Would you like for me to tell you what happened?" he asked and sat down. I nodded my head and sat down as well. He told Tsume and the others to leave and I saw Sasuke give me a look that held worry in his eyes. I smiled at him and he recognized my smile, even in my wolf form, and he left as well.

"I'll start at the beginning," he said and started to tell me of my past.

I know it's a cliffhanger, sry. The next chap. should be in shortly, I hope. Pls Review!!1
