Summoned Love 10- Plan

*Sakura's POV*

"Sakura-chan, you look sick. Are you okay?" Naruto. I'm still holding the note. "Eh? What's this?" Huh? Naruto grabs the note out of my hand and I try to get it back. "Eh?! Kakashi-sensei!" Kakashi-sensei runs over and Naruto shows him the note.

"Girlfriend? Do they mean Miyuki?"

"Sakura-chan, is there something going on between you and Miyuki?" I blush slightly and nod. "No way! You guys are…!"

"Urusei, Bakayaro."

"Either way, this is serious. It must be Akatsuki. They're the only people that would go this far to capture Naruto." We both nod, knowing perfectly well.

"What are we going to do?"

"Even sharingan can't tell the difference between the real thing and a Kage-bunshin."

"So…you mean…?"

"Our best shot at saving Miyuki and Naruto, in this case, is to try to trade in a clone Naruto for Miyuki."

"Will it work? I mean, they might anticipate us trying that and be prepared." If it doesn't work…Miyuki will…

"If it doesn't, we'll have to forcefully rescue Miyuki. There's no way…"

"I'll just go. They'll eventually get to me anyways. And there's no guarantee that any other ideas will work."

"Naruto…"

"Besides. Miyuki's my friend too. Gotta do…"

"No. There has to be something else we can do, Naruto."

"We'll have to figure something out before sunset. And we don't even know where on the border they are, or where at the border they want to meet." We really have to come up with something that will work on the first try…otherwise…they might kill her before we can rescue her.

*Miyuki's POV*

"Hey guys! I'm going to the movies."

"What are you going to see?"

"Huh? Oh…um…Naruto the Movie, Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom…"

"Eh? There are even movies?!" I nod.

"Yea. Julia's already got the tickets…"

"When is it?"

"Oh! Um, in an hour…why?"

"We want to go!" I stare at Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi, and then start laughing.

"What?"

"You three are idiots."

"Oh! You guys can come, no problem! Julia works at the theater, so she can get the tickets no problem. I don't think it's sold out quite yet…anyone else want to come?!" Yamato slowly raises his hand, followed by Temari and Sai. I smile and nod. "There's not enough room in my car…but it's not that far from here. We can walk! Sasuke-kun, you want to come?"

"No." I frown.

"Neji-kun?"

"Whatever." I sigh and go up to the top of the stairs. I grab Sasuke's hand and drag him downstairs and to the door. He glares at me and I stick out my tongue as I put on my boots. Everyone else puts on their shoes and we walk to the theater.

"Just in time! I managed to time it so I get off right when the movie starts. Oh! You brought the whole gang! I'll get the extra tickets. Hiya, Sasuke." I sigh when Sasuke ignores her.

"Jules, you should have figured out that your flirting has absolutely no effect on those guys."

"Hey, a girl can try huh? Here you go! I'll see you in the front row, Miyuki!" I nod and we go to the concession stand to get popcorn and drinks.

"Enjoy the movie!"

"Yep! Come on guys!" I pull Sasuke and Neji into the theater, so they can't escape, while the others follow. I run to the front row and grab the middle seat. Everyone sits along the row. Sakura next to me, then Naruto, then Kakashi, and Yamato on my left. Then to my right, Sasuke, Neji, Sai, and Temari. There's an empty seat between me and Sasuke, so Julia can sit next to me. We've filled the front row!

"Wow! This is the first time I've ever seen the front row completely full!" Julia sits down next to me and we watch the movie.

"That was so weird."

"Yea, I know. Watching ourselves on the screen like that…"

"But it was interesting."

"I would never have worn that outfit!"

"I don't see Lee wearing that outfit either."

"With Lee, you never know."

"If Gai suggested that he wear it, he definitely would."

"You have a point. I thought you didn't want to watch it, Neji-kun." He shrugs and walks towards the house. "Spoil sport!"

"Miyuki, it's been three weeks. Have you found out…?"

"No. I haven't found a way to get you guys home. I'm sorry. I ruined everything for all of you…"

"Why do you say that?"

"I…I pulled you all away from your homes…I mean…if I can't get you guys home then…" Their dreams, their families, everything they had going for them…I've taken all of that away from them. But…I found a site with the manga in it, as far as it has come in Japan, I read up to the end of that…the only good thing that would come of this is that Sasuke won't have the chance to kill Itachi and learn the truth from Madara.

They don't know that I've read that far. Or that it even goes that far ahead of what they know. I mean, according to them, they only just barely went through half of the first few missions in Shippuuden. Like, Sasuke hasn't even defeated Orochimaru and formed the Hebi yet. Though, he was getting ready to. Maybe!

What if…what if because of this…Orochimaru died of natural causes? I mean, his three years in that body was almost up right? Maybe…maybe he didn't switch bodies in time after realizing that Sasuke was gone. What if…because of this…I completely changed the course of everything in their home?

Huh? I hear something, just barely. Someone's here? I try to open my eyes to see what's going on, but I can't move. I must be barely conscious. My eyes flutter after some effort and I get a fuzzy view of what's going on. That figure…Sasuke? And…he's fighting.

That's the noise I heard, a fight. Is he fighting Itachi and Kisame? Alone? No, I can barely sense something going on outside. So he formed the Hebi after all? It doesn't look like…he's not using the curse mark. Does that mean that Orochimaru's really dead? I struggle to move, to get up, but I'm still bound I guess. Fire! I have to get out of the way…huh? Something keeps the attack from hitting me. An invisible barrier? No, I'm looking through something solid again.

So…I'm hidden behind a wall of stone or something? I watch the fight. So amazing. And I'm watching it in person…how many people would kill to be able to see this fight in person? Huh?! Itachi's talking to Sasuke. They've stopped fighting. After a moment, Itachi falls forward, dead. The wall disappears and Sasuke sees me.

"Miyuki-san? How did you get here?" He runs over to me and helps me up, cutting the ropes with a kunai. I still can't really move much. "Are you okay? Can you hear me?" I barely manage to nod. "Why are you wearing an Akatsuki robe? Oy! Karin! Get in here!"

"What, Sasuke? Oh!" A girl runs over and stares at me. That's…Karin…from the Hebi. "What happened to her?"

"I'm not sure." I find my voice.

"Itachi…kidnapped…me…to…to get…Naruto…"

"What?"

"So, you're saying that you're here with Naruto and them?" I nod. "Where are they?"

"Kirigakure…I think…they might be looking for me…though…"

"Miyuki-san, calm down." I nod slightly. I am calm. Do I sound otherwise? Someone's coming! Madara…no.

"Sasuke…get out of here…"

"What? Why?"

"Because…oh! What did Itachi tell you? Before…"

"Huh? Oh…" By the look on his face, regret…he must have told him the truth…or at least part of it, enough to make him understand why he did what he did for all this time.

"The…the truth…right?"

"Huh?"

"I know already…the manga…it went far ahead of this though…" So I really did change everything. Oh! Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi are coming this way. "Sasuke…Naruto and Sakura…and Kakashi…they're almost here."

"She's right there are three people coming here. How…?"

"Not sure…for some reason here…"

"You're using Byakugan. That must be why." I nod slightly.

"I'm not sure…but…"

"I'm kind of scared to find out how much your fighting skills have improved. But…how did you get here?"

"No time. You have to go." Before Madara gets here. If Madara finds and talks to Sasuke…it'll just go back to the way it would have been before! He nods, relenting, and gets up to leave. He and Karin leave the cave and their chakra disappears, along with Suigetsu and Jugo. If Sasuke is scared to find out how much I've improved, just by coming here…was I really that formidable in competition before? Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi run into the cave and stare at the damage, namely, Itachi's corpse.

"Miyuki!" Sakura runs over to me and helps me stand up. "Are you okay? You're not hurt are you?"

"I'm fine, Sakura-chan. Was Kisame outside?"

"No. Should he have been?" I sigh. That means he must have gotten away. Oh! Madara is almost here! If he finds Naruto…no!

"We've got to get back to Kirigakure."

"Why?"

"Someone's coming, right?" I nod. "Who?"

"I…I don't know." I don't want them to know the extent of the knowledge I have beyond their experiences. Especially when everything could change from here.

"Miyuki, can you tell anything about them?" I shake my head.

"I can see him, but I can't tell…we have to get out of here."

"Miyuki's right, if it's more Akatsuki, it'll turn into a fight."

"What happened here anyways?" I shake my head.

"We have to go. I can tell you when we get back…" They nod and we run to Kirigakure, over the fence and back to the hotel. I grab my clothes and go to the bathroom to get dressed. When I come out, the rest of my friends look at me expectantly. I sigh and sit down with them.

"Well…"

"What happened to Itachi? And why did it look like a fight happened? You were free, what happened?"

"Sasuke…he…he was there…he fought Itachi…and then he helped me…"

"Awe, he has a heart after all."

"Sakura-chan!" She shrugs.

"We all know that he was constantly pissed at everyone. He was always locked in the attic."

"I don't blame him. In fact…I'm kind of surprised that you guys…"

"Don't get back onto that."

"Oh! Tsunade-sama gave me an interesting bit of information when we got back to Konoha…"

"Orochimaru's dead. As in really dead."

"But that means…!"

"No. I don't know what's going to happen now…"

"What do you mean?"

"There's something you're not telling us."

"The manga…it goes past this. Sort of a preview of the future. So far, everything's gone about the same, but differently. Now…if I hadn't pulled you guys into my world, Sasuke would have killed Orochimaru, formed a team of four, consisting of former followers of Orochimaru, hunted down Itachi, killed him, then spoke with a man named Uchiha Madara, who would tell him every horrible truth behind Itachi's actions, and finally go into Akatsuki to get their help in destroying Konoha."

"What?!"

"And while they would be preparing for that, the leader of Akatsuki, called Pain, who has probably already fought and defeated Jiraiya, would go to Konoha in search of Naruto and start an all out war on Konoha. Destroying the entire village."

"What?! Ero-sennin?!"

"Obviously that hasn't happened. I mean, Tsunade-shishou would have said something…" I nod.

"I know. Which makes me think that perhaps, the fight is either in progress or it hasn't started yet. But, I have a strong feeling that a lot of things were changed when you guys…"

"Disappeared from here." I nod. Someone knocks on the door and we get up. Sakura answers it and a woman walks in.

"Um, hello?"

"You're the team from Konoha correct? I'm Izumi Kin." Izumi…Kin? I stare at her. She's…Oka-chan! No way!

"Izumi?" She nods and looks over all of us. She pauses at me.

"Miyuki-chan?" I nod, staring at her. This is impossible. If this is Oka-chan…then…Otou-chan and Aniki…she smiles. "Miyuki-chan!" She hugs me tightly.

"Agh can't breathe." She lets go of me and holds my shoulders, staring at my face.

"You don't recognize me?"

"I do…I'm in shock."

"Eh? You know each other?"

"Izumi…could you be…related?" We nod and Kakashi gasps.

"Hey, you're…Miyuki no Haha!" She nods once and backs up.

"Oka-chan…but…I saw…you and Otou-chan…you were…" She hugs me again, comforting this time.

"Sorry, Miyuki-chan."

"Why? How are you here? What about Otou-chan…and Aniki…?" I'm crying again.

"Shush, it's okay. I'm sorry."

"Miyuki said that you were dead. How are you alive and here?"

"One of the abilities of the Izumi clan, as I'm sure you've either heard or figured out, is to travel freely between different worlds. There is a friend of mine that specializes in designing puppets and artificial bodies. It was the only way we could have survived that incident. By coming back here, just our souls, and moving into an emergency Gigai that our friend made for an event like that."

"So…Otou-chan ha…"

"He's around the village somewhere."

"And…Aniki?"

"Again, somewhere around the village." They're alive! I can't believe this. I wrap my arms around Oka-chan's waist and hug her. "Miyuki-chan, I never expected to see you here, and with a Konoha leaf in your hair. How did you get here?"

"I'm not sure really. The other day, we were at the school festival…"

"It was the end of it, the award ceremony. Miyuki had just won first place in the costume contest. I think they were getting ready to announce the winner of the classroom design too."

"How do you know that?"

"Well…" I back up and laugh.

"About a month ago, Julia found a spell in one of her books to try out. It was a sort of summoning. I didn't think it would work, so as a joke, I tried to use it to summon their team…well…"

"It worked?" I nod.

"Yea and it summoned these three, along with two others that act as stand ins on the team, and…"

"Three other, random ninja from our village."

"Yea."

"So, you summoned what, eight ninja to LA? A month ago. And now all of you are back, including Miyuki?" We nod.

"Yea."

"Let's see, you just turned 17 a few days ago right?"

"Yea."

"That's why."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's see, you used this spell, obviously it would work because of your family. But, spells like that, used by our family, generally wear off on the person who cast it in the first place's 17th birthday."

"So…because it was my birthday…the others were sent back home?" Oka-chan nods.

"Yea."

"But, how did Miyuki end up coming with us?"

"Were any of you touching her when it happened?" I glance at Sakura. She was in the infirmary with me and Julia.

"I was. After she received her award for her costume, Miyuki appeared to be getting sick, so her friend Julia and I took her to the nurse's office."

"So, Julia saw?"

"Most likely."

"She must have gotten the shock of her life."

"So, you're Sakura right?" She nods. Oka-chan laughs.

"What?"

"It's nothing. Mizuki will be very shocked to hear that your group is here."

"Huh?"

"Who's Mizuki?"

"Aniki da." I start laughing as it sinks in.

"What's so funny?"

"If you think about what I've told you about Aniki, you'll understand." Sakura's the first to understand and start laughing. "Man that makes me wish I had volume 27 with me at the festival." Sakura nods, still laughing.

"Why?"

"What's volume 27?"

"Naruto, Naruto no Baka. The last time I went to Comicon with Julia, Kishimoto Masashi was there, I brought volume 27 with me and met him. He signed it for me, and even made it out to Aniki for me. I explained that it was something I was doing for Aniki."

"Awe, that's sweet."

"What the hell is Comicon?" I sigh.

"It's short for Comic Convention. A whole bunch of people get together at this event, in cosplay outfits, dressed up like characters in different anime and manga and comics, to meet, exchange different things, meet creators that come, stuff like that."

"Cosplay?" I nod.

"Yea, like I'm sure that almost everyone that saw you guys the first night at McDonald's thought you were all major nerds. Out in cosplay on a Friday night." They understand with that and Kakashi joins in on the laughter. Naruto is just pissed.

"Oh, you'll get over it."

"Hey, you're not the only person she calls Baka, remember that." I nod and Naruto gets over it.

"Yea, like…" Kakashi and I cover his mouth.

"Ne, Oka-chan? What are you doing here? I mean, at the hotel."

"Oh, Onee-chan asked me to come to greet you guys, since there wasn't a proper greeting for you when you arrived last night. I was surprised to find you here. I would have thought that you would be exploring."

"Well…"

"We figured it was best to wait until someone arrived to speak with us before we started wandering around."

"Wait. Onee-chan?"

"Oh, you didn't know? My older sister is the Mizukage."

"Eh?!"

"So…that means…"

"Yes, Miyuki is the niece of the Mizukage."

"Sugei, Miyuki-chan!" I glance at Naruto and he calms down.

"Um, if you'll come with me, it's still early in the afternoon, so you can go ahead and speak with Onee-chan." My aunt…is the Mizukage…but…no way!

"Oka-chan?"

"Hm?"

"After…that…my aunt sent me and Aniki money and birthday presents from Kyoto…"

"Oh, about her. That young lady that you know as your aunt is a friend of ours that is like a sister. She saw you and Mizuki as her family."

"Oh." Well, that makes sense then. We walk with Oka-chan to a building and up to a room.
