I worked until my butt fell asleep!...But it still sucks T_T mainly the fight sequence.

I don't own Naruto Masashi Kishimoto does as well as TvTokyo I do however own Kimiko, Itsuki and the Sukima-

A large explosion filled the air in the calm forest.

A black streak that was the God Itsuki slammed into the ground at a bone crunching force.

"Got him, hmm," Deidara said with a smirk, rubbing his scratched up cheek with the back of his hand.

It humored him that the great ''God'' had only managed to land a couple of hits ,via vines, while he was setting up his master piece, still it was more then most of the Iwa-terrorists opponents, who couldn't even land a single blow, no matter the weapon they used.

The Akatsuki members joined around the smoking crater.

Hidan whistled, "Damn blondie did you have to use those little spiders of yours? I wanted a piece of him too," he said, his voice muffled by the sleeve he held over his face.

"Hey don't blame me, hmm, Tobi was the one that beat him to a bloody pulp while I was setting up the bombs, yeah," Deidara passed the blame over to Tobi, who visibly flinched and stiffened at the aura that started to leak off the Zealot.

"You little punk!," he swung his sythe at the masked mans stomach, he jumped back narrowly avoiding being disembowled.

"Tobi didn't mean to!," he yelled, flailing his arms up over his head.

Kisame looked down at his smaller partner with a sharp smirk, "You know for a God he was pretty weak," he said with humor lacing his words.

"Hn..." Itachi grunted, his eyes widened for a split second before he jumped backwards, narrowly avoiding being struck by a tree limb which smacked the ground creating a small crater before realing back into the cloud of dust.

The ex-mist ninja hopped on one foot, having avoided being hit by mere inches,"He's still alive?~!," he barked.

Tobi narrowed his showing eye at the dust cloud, in the pale haze he could make out a growing shadow, "U-um Sempai, Tobi thinks we should run," he stuttured.

"Why?," The group (minus Itachi) Chorused.

"Because if you don't," The criminals looked to the crater, "I will crush you!," The head of teh fully transformed Itsuki rose out of the cloud, he blinked to clear his eyes, before letting out a snort and smirking down at the group.

"That's big goat!,"

"It's a deer Hidan,"

"I don't care what it is! It's still big as a bitch!," (That didn't make sense XD)

"Nice word play Hidan, as always," Kisame grumbled, lazily jumping back when Itsuki stomped.

Itachi sighed and shook his head, pinching teh bridge of his nose in an attempt to calm the throbbing he felt in his eyes.

"Let's go Kisame, we are no longer needed here," He said, quickly dissapearing in a flock of crows before his partner could even respond.

"Aw, I wanted to stay, not every day you get to fight a God, weak or not,"

"Hidan? You're going to?,"

"Pft, I already took out a huge cat, I ain't fighting that thing, Lord Jashin needs sacrifices and I sacrifice that thing because Leader said no,"

'Why did I hire him?,' Tobi internally deadpanned.

"YOU DARE IGNORE ME?~!,"

"CRAP!," HIdan jumped away off into the forest.

Deidara shook his head, the Zealot complained about excercising and yet he can do that? how was that even possible?

"Tobi, monouver 3," The terrorist instructed, putting a knee on his clay owls head.

"SIR SEMPAI~!," Tobi saluted.

"PEST!," Itsuki lowered his head and blew at Tobi's small figure.

"Oh my," he muttered quietly.

-Konoha-

In the hospital sitting in the waiting area outside of a pateints room, were the group of ninja that had helped in the search for little Kimiko.

"You spent five hours searching the forest, but you didn't check the village Kimiko came from? I find that hard to believe and very uncharacteristic of you," Neji scolded Kakashi, who was the only person beside the Hyuuga standing.

"It's against the rules to go into the village, The Third said it was dangerous, In a way I guess he wasn't that far off," Gai explained to his student, who just tsked and turned away.

"..."

The swinging double doors cracked open and out stepped Tsunade, she glared at the jounin harshly, giving a sigh at his downtrodden look she spoke,"Hatake," she said sternly

"Yes ma'am?," Kakashi asked quietly.

"I think we should talk in private,"

Naruto went to stand up, but was pulled back down by Sakura.

"We'll wait here," she said with a nervous smile.

Tsunade lead Kakashi through the waiting area and a hardwood door that lead to an office, it looked it probably belonged to one of the more stationary medic nin's that weren't usually called off to missions unless absolutly necessary.

"Sit," The fifth ordered, sitting down on the other side of the desk.

The jounin nodded and sat in the chair seated in front of the desk, "How is kimi?," he asked.

"I'm not quite sure how to say this,"

Worry pulsed through his veins, if she was dead, and he hadn't protected her better, not only would he have to worry about Tsunade's famous wrath but the pain coming from losing somebody again, especially since her looks resembled RIn.

"Just tell me!,"

"Kimiko suffered serious injuries, mainly to her head, she has a concusion and lost her right eye,"

"You mean she's alive?,"

"She's got the Will Of Fire and is holding strong," Tsunade nodded

"Thank goodness," Kakashi sighed in releaf

The slug sannin grunted, "Of course this doesn't mean she's out of the woods, she could still relapse or even get a life threatening infection,"

"Yes ma'am I understand,"

His apartment wasn't dirty, she would be able to go home and recoup, she'd be better in no time. Kakashi stopped his thoughts dead in their tracks, no, she might not even want to go back with him, yes she did call him dad but that was probably just spur of the moment.

"I don't think you do, you see this is the exact reason I assigned her to you in the first place, so something like this wouldn't happen, and now at any moment she could die, and it would be on you,"

"Yes ma'am,"

Tsunade looked at him suspiciously, that glazed over look of his, hn taht usually meant trouble.

She put her elbows on teh desk and locked her fingers together, "Have you heard a single word I've said," she asked.

"Yes ma'am," Kakashi's voice sounded blank and devoid of everything.

"You're a closet pervert and sleep with your Icha Icha under your pillow,"

"Yes ma'am,"

"Idiot not listening to a word I've said," Tsunade sighed.

-Transition-

Itsuki laughed loudly at the little ant sized ninja scrambling around his hooves, his prefered black poison laced vines chased Tobi around, always getting just a few inches away from him before the ninja would side step and run in the opposite direction from which he came.

Underneath his mask Tobi was grinning widely, enjoying the game he and the God were playing, 'Just a little more, and we'll be done here,' he thought, sliding to a stop.

Tobi threw a handful of Explosive tag kunai at Itsuki, the blades grazed the black fur before doing a U turn and burrowing into the ground, the long invisible thread wrapped around his thick trunk of a leg. He stomped and snorted in laughter at the masked man.

"You should work on your aim young one that didn't come close to hitting me," Itsuki said.

"It didn't have to his you to bring you down," he chuckled, before hightening his pitch, "Bye bye!," he giggled.

The explosives went off, catching the great beasts legs in a firey explosion making them give way, bringing the front half of his body down to the ground, his knees caught on the vines which had created a small fence around him. His head fell as well, landing in a group of pine trees, Tobi jumped out of the way so he wouldn't get crushed.

The sharp limbs of the trees ripped through the flesh on Itsuki's long neck, a string of Deidara's explosives were hidden amongst the trees, the pressure of the mighty beasts weight landed square center of the trap, setting off a grand explosion.

"Crap," Tobi muttered, "Sempai! We need to get him back to leader quickly!,"

"Hmm," Deidara nodded, throwing down chakra strengthened ropes for Tobi to tie.

Itsuki weezed and huffed harshly, digging the toe of his hoof into the ground, 'Can't believe I'm actually going to go out like this,' he thought as his vision blurred and his head swayed drunkenly. The blood loss making him fade.

The masked ninja tied a kunai on one end of the rope and flung it up and over Itsuki's snout, the steal weapon acted as a weight bringing it back down effortlessly, Tobi repeated this, finally tying up his mouth tightly.

"That's good Tobi! yeah,"

Tobi leaped high into air and landed on Itsuki's back, "'Kay sempai! Let's go horsey!,"

"Little brat,"

Back in Konoha

Kakashi smiled as he listened to the Fifth tell him what Kimiko had said when she woke up for a breif second before surgery, "Then she asked 'Where's dad?' and passed out again," Tsunade laughed madly while Kakashi blinked he didn't know why she found that so funny, it sounded rather pathetic and sad to him, "Eh you had to be there," Tsunade shrugged.

Suddenly there was a loud bang at the door, the golden hinges, nails and all, were ripped from the wooden frame, letting the door fall to the ground, Izumo and Kotetsu stood panting on the downed barrier, "LADY TSUNADE!," they both yelled frantically.

"Oh what now?," Tsunade sighed, rubbing her forehead.

"The village of the Sukima! you have to come see this!,"

"You two better fix my door," The fifth stayed glued to her seat, one elbow on the desk, her cheek resting in her hand.

"Um, Lady Tsunade, I think they want you to go now," Kakashi sweated.

"Right now, right now?,"

"Yes ma'am!," The two gate guards chorused.

"Fine," Tsunade smacked the wooden desk as she stood up, she stalked out of the room grumbling.

Trailed by Kotetsu and Izumo, they left Kakashi alone in the room, feeling brushed off and confused. he stared at the door for a moment before leaving.

He passed Naruto and Sakura, the only two that had decided to stay.

"Sensei, how is Kimi?," The young medic asked.

"Lasy Tsunade said she'll be fine, though she'll defenantly look different now," 'Loosing an eye will do that to you,'

"That's good," Sakura smiled,

Naruto folded his arms over his chest and squinted his eyes, "Yeah good, now you can tell her that when she gets out of here, me and her are going to have a stance-off!,"

"Maa, Will do," Kakashi lazily put his hands in his pockets, turning away from the two he entered Kimiko's room.

She was awake and sitting up in the bed a white bandage covered her right eye and wrapped around her head multipul times, on her left temple was a little gash with stitches. She didn't hear him come in and was suprised when he spoke.

"Hey kiddo,"

"Kashi?," The vision in her remaining eye was a little blurry, but she could still make out the unmistakable spiky hair.

"Who else would it be,"

"Sooo how do I look with only one eye?,"

The ninja chuckled, "Like me," 'Minus the sharingan,'

"Oh no," The brunette said in an exasperated tone.

"Hey," Kakashi tried to sound offended but the laugh that followed it gave him away.

"My head hurts,"

"I can go get the nurse,"

"No, please stay,"

"Neh, okay, not like I got anything else to do," Kakashi sat on the edge of the bed.

"...You know," Kimiko latched onto his sleeve,"Back after you picked me up back in the village, I called you dad,"

She looked up at him when she felt him freeze, "Yes," he said unsurely.

Kimiko released the fabric, scared of what he might do, "I-is..Would it be okay if I called you that all the time?," she asked.

"S-sure,"

"Good,"
