A/N: Sorry for the long wait! I had a writer's block of sorts. You see, I am not too good at writing battle scenes and I didn't know how to write this one. I wrote many … but then deleted them. But I suddenly go an idea from watching FMAB and decided to test it out to see if it would work … it did! So, I hope you guys like it! Sorry for the grammar errors if you find any! R&R&F please! I would like to know how my battle scenes were! Thanks!

Disclaimer: Any help with this one?
Itachi: Why am I always the one you ask for help?
Me: Um … I didn't ask … you just appeared.
Itachi: Hn.
Me: Hn!
Kupochan14: Not again!
Itachi and me: Gomen …
Kupochan14: Good, now, both of you say it! *smirks*
Itachi and me: We do not own Naruto …

"Knowledge and awareness are vague, and perhaps better called illusions. Everyone lives within their own subjective interpretation." – Itachi … and it suits this chapter very, very well!

I made my eyes black and I took out my katana. I had to hurry if I wanted to save everyone if I could. Takeo smiled and took out his katana and waited for me to move. I puffed away and watched him from a building away.

"I wouldn't hide for too long Mika; people just might die because of it." He said looking around him.

"Gouryuuka no Jutsu!" (Great Dragon Fire Technique) I whispered. A fire dragon escaped from my mouth and made its way to Takeo. Takeo turned around upon hearing the fire and his eyes widened a fraction before he did the substitution jutsu.

"Damn it." I said aloud as I jumped down from the building I was on to see Takeo sitting on a bench that was there.

"Is that all you can do? Tsk, I thought higher of you." I glared. If he wanted more, I would give him more! I ran at him and attacked with my katana. He stood up and blocked my katana with his own. We fought with our katanas for a while, no one winning or losing. We were getting nowhere and fast. I jumped away and sheathed my katana and threw kunai at him. He blocked them and puffed. I glared and tried to sense him. 'Behind!' I thought as I turned around to see Takeo in the air with a kunai in his hand … aimed for my heart. I blocked it, but with my right arm.

"Damn." I said as I took the kunai out of my arm. Takeo didn't wait though, he jumped at me again and tried to punch and kick me. I blocked and landed a kick on his stomach. He went flying into a restaurant and the building crumbled around him. I walked up to him and saw him almost unconscious. I picked him up and threw him across the street. He landed on the bench and moaned in pain. He slowly got back up, but he was a little wobbly. I took out a kunai and walked up to him. I pushed him into a wall and put the kunai to his throat.

"You are done for. Any last words? No, good." I said as I put the kunai through his heart. His eyes widened as blood came out of his mouth. I let go of him, but he held my arm. I looked at him and he smirked. I raised my eyebrow as I felt something against my stomach. I looked down and my eyes widened. 'No, not again.' I thought as I looked at Takeo.

"My … little … farewell gift … I'll the effect be … a … surprise …" Then he fell to the floor. I pulled the poison enlaced kunai out of my stomach and dropped it on the ground. I turned and began to run toward the south gate. I was five minutes away and I could tell I was a little low on chakra after fighting Takeo, but I had to make it!

I continued to run while the blood in my stomach continued to flow onto the ground beneath my feet. It was too much blood loss for me; after a few minutes I fell to the ground.

"No, goddamn it! Stand up …. Stand up!" I yelled to myself. I tried to stand up, but my feet wouldn't move. It was like my muscles wouldn't work; I, however, knew that this was not the effects of the poison that Takeo put on the kunai that was in my stomach. Takeo was more … advanced than that and he always thought four steps ahead. Attacking the muscles of one's body was not something Takeo would stoop so low to do, no, he would do something much, much worse with a deadly ending.

"Move … move … please …. Fucking move!" I got on one knee and looked at the south gate after feeling something very strong. 'What the hell is that?' I was looking at this giant, glowing triangle with arms. Then a huge shock wave erupted from it. I was thrown into a building that crumbled around me.

"Ugh…" I said as I pushed the debris away from me, I looked around.

"Was … was that a bomb?" I looked around me after I stood up with help from half a wall and saw buildings in shambles. Trees were burned to a crisp and some buildings were totally gone. My eyes widened and I started to run toward were the bomb exploded from … where Itachi and the others were.

I ran passed all of the tree stumps to a clearing; I looked around but I didn't see- Sasuke! I saw Sasuke lying on the ground and unmoving. I ran up to him and checked for a pulse. He had one, but it was weak.

"Alright, stay with me Sasuke. Don't die." I said checking for any serious wounds. He was burned badly and had multiple splinters sticking out of him, some big and some small, but he was going to be okay. I stood back up and looked around the battle field and saw another body. I ran over to it and saw that it was Shisui. I knelt down and checked to see if he was okay, then I heard him groan in pain.

"Shisui? Shisui, it's me, Mika, are you okay?" I asked seeing if he had any major wounds. He was like Sasuke and was burned badly with multiple splinters.

"M … Mika?" He asked weakly as he opened his eyes and tried to sit up. I pushed him back down.

"No, you are injured." I said. I groaned in annoyance.

"Fine … but go help Itachi. Where is Sasuke and Kakashi?"

"Sasuke is unconscious and I haven't found Kakashi. What happened and where is Itachi?" I asked.

"This Deidara guy blew himself up. Itachi was taken by two Akatsuki." What! Itachi would not just be taken by two Akatsuki.

"What? Explain!" He shook his head.

"No time, they went toward the Forest of Death. Go, now!" I nodded and stood up. I did the signs for a summon and my main crow, Arashi.

"You called master?" She asked.

"I need you to go find Tsunade-sama and tell her that we have wounded here that need immediate attention."

"Yes, master." Then she flew off. I nodded toward Shisui who nodded back and I headed toward the Forest of Death.

It didn't make sense, how could Itachi just be taken away by two fucking Akatsuki? He was stronger than that, he wasn't such a push over!

"Something isn't right." I knew something wasn't right, but what? I stopped my mind from mulling over all the possible reasons and possibilities and continued to run as fast as I could. I came upon the forest fast and raced into it. The forest was big, but the only real way out of it that lead somewhere other than Konoha was on the far north side of it, so I started heading north.

I was running for about four minutes when I heard someone moan. I stopped running from tree to tree to listen.

"… Help …. Someone …. " I jumped down from the trees and looked around for the voice that sounded like Kakashi's. I saw him by a tree that was covered in blood. My eyes widened and I ran toward him.

"Kakashi, what happened?" He was sitting up, leaning against the tree holding his stomach. His Sharingan was revealed and he was pale from the amount of blood loss.

"Itachi … Akatsuki … " I didn't get what he was getting at, I knew that Itachi was taken by the Akatsuki. I looked at his wound and saw that if it wasn't tended to, he would die. He needed healing and fast. I knew some healing, but only enough to keep him alive.

"Kakashi, I need you to be still." I said and he nodded to me weakly. I closed my eyes and concentrated on my chakra. I had only healed about four times and the injuries that the people had were not life threatening. I focused more and felt my chakra go to my hands … then it stopped. I opened my eyes to see why the hell I wasn't' healing Kakashi. 'No ….' I thought as I looked at my wound.

"Bastard." Takeo's poison was to stop me from healing. He knew something like this was going to happen! 'No, damn it. Kakashi is going to die!' I thought as I tried again and again.

"Work damn it!" I yelled. My eyes were filling with tears. I didn't' know Kakashi too much, but he was a nice guy that did not deserve to die. Screw not showing feelings on the battle field, he was a friend. I closed my eyes and tried to heal him again, but then I felt a hand on mine. I opened my eyes and saw Kakashi smiling at me weakly.

"E … enough … go … Itachi … leave … me … "

"I won't let you die! You don't deserve to die!" I yelled.

"It's … my … duty … country …" He said letting go of my hand.

"Kakashi … please don't die!" I said letting the tears go down my face.

"It's … my time … go … be … safe …" He said as he wiped my tears from my face. I smiled as his hand fell from my face. I closed my eyes and put my hand on his face to close his.

"I am sorry Kakashi. I won't let you death be in vain." I said standing up. I wiped my tears away and kept running. I couldn't save Kakashi, but I would be damned if I couldn't save Itachi.

I kept running and I couldn't sense them at all. I was beginning to think I was going the wrong way, but then I noticed a snapped branch. I stopped running and noticed that the direction of the break was to my left. I narrowed my eyes and started to go left. After a few more minutes of running, I heard voices.

"I can't believe that fucking idiot killed himself. He didn't fucking need to!"

"He did us a favor. He was annoying with his impediment and his stupid art principles."

"He saved us time by taking care of those two brats."

I narrowed my eyes. I was listening to the three I encountered by the lake in the Uchiha district: Hidan, Kisame, and the puppet.

"Fuck you guys. Why did you guys have to be so fucking logical?"

"Just shut up kid, we got what we came for."

"I agree. It would be wise to be quiet in case others came for Itachi."

"Who the fucking else is there? We took care of the main people, and the other members are keeping the rest of Konoha fucking busy."

"A question that should be answered by the man himself. Itachi, who else would be after you?" My eyes widened. I was hiding behind a tree so they wouldn't see me and I didn't know he was still conscious.

"Hn." I heard a laugh then.

"You are fucking hilarious! A monosyllabic answer is all we are fucking getting?"

"Don't bug the kid Hidan; he might change his mind about joining us." 'What?' Maybe I didn't hear them right.

"Leader will be glad you choose the Akatsuki." I gasped, I didn't hear them wrong. Why would Itachi join them? He knew what they were capable of and he knew they were … were evil, despicable, horrible, disgusting, detestable, disgraceful, sordid, low-life's! He would never join them!

"Did you guys hear that?" I heard Kisame say. I put a hand on my mouth, but that did not help.

"Come out mother fucker! We fucking know you are fucking there!" I narrowed my eyes and came out of hiding on the ground behind a tree. What I saw made my stomach turn. The puppet was standing next to Hidan who was standing next to Itachi who was next to Kisame, but that was not what was so disturbing. They all had Akatsuki cloaks on … even Itachi. I narrowed my eyes and glared at Itachi with everything I had. I had forgiven him about what he did to my clan and he goes and betrays me!

"Well, well, what do we have here? The little girl we tried to get as bait for our man here." Kisame said with a smirk. I continued to look at Itachi.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked him. He didn't answer me and I narrowed my eyes even more.

"ANSWER ME!" I screamed at him, but he stayed silent.

"Wondering why your little crush is coming with us willingly?" Hidan asked with a smirk. I glared at him.

"Yes."

"This is troublesome. Let's finish this quickly, we can't keep leader waiting." The puppet said.

"Shut up Sasori. This is fucking fun!" Sasori shook his head, but stopped talking. I looked over at Itachi again and glared into his emotionless eyes. Before, I was able to read his eyes like an open book, but not this time. He was an emotionless bastard.

"Why? What about Sasuke, Shisui, your family, Konoha, me?" I asked quieter this time.

"To test my abilities." Was he fucking serious? That was not a reason. I glared.

"That's bull and you know it!" He didn't say anything else though, so I thought it was a good time to tell him about Kakashi, maybe then I would be able to see some fucking emotion in his eyes.

"Kakashi is dead." Nothing, there was nothing in his eyes. I heard a laugh from besides him and looked at Kisame.

"What the hell is so funny about that?" He smirked.

"Itachi killed him." My eyes widened and I looked at Itachi.

"No … you wouldn't!" I said not believing this.

"This is fucking boring. We need to fucking get rid of this bitch before others fucking come and try to stop us." Hidan said and then he smirked.

"Since you two have something, I think the only way Itachi can really show us that he is committed to us is to kill this bitch. What do you guys think?" Hidan asked. Sasori shook his head.

"I don't care as long as we get moving."

"I like it." Kisame said.

"Hn." Itachi said as he took out a kunai and stepped forward. My eyes widened and then went black as they narrowed.

"Itachi … please, don't make me fight you." He didn't say anything as he continued forward toward me. This was not what I was expecting when I found Itachi. I thought he would still be on our side, Konoha's side. I thought he was different. I forgave him! What I did was wrong and I would never forgive him for this. He betrayed Konoha, his friends, his family, and he betrayed me! I would never, ever forgive him!

"Fine, so be it, but I will never forgive you for this." I said as I unsheathed my katana. He jumped with kunai in hand and I jumped with katana in hand. 'Why Itachi, why?' Was all I could think as I jumped toward him.

Haha! Did you guys see that one coming? How was the battle scene? Good, bad, boring? How was the chapter? R&R&F please! I will update as soon as I can! Bare with me on this please! Umm ... yeah, I hope you guys liked the twist! Maybe you guys are mad? Hehe, it's understandable, Itachi was a good guy up until now. So sad ... ^-^
