PLEASE READ!!!!
Hello!
My name isn't The Lady Morana, she is currently unable to post because of the computer she is own currently and also will be updating a whole lot slower than normal. Until she gets a computer of her own you will see my author notes here and there. However she wrote this completely, and I take no credit what-so-ever in the writing process. If any of you read Of Snakes and Foxes you know who I am, for those who don't my name is Flightless Bird, I am her part-time beta and smut writer for that story. I am just posting this one.
Thanks,
Flightless Bird
The Lady Morana would like to thank:
Flightless Bird for betaing

Fear courses through my body as I look into his blood red eyes. Eyes so much like his brothers and yet so different. This, the older of the pair, has eyes like glass. His eyes sit in a face a few shades darker then his brother, but still paler then mine. He is beautiful in the same way a porcelain doll is beautiful, flawless, emotionless, and chilling. I try to tear my gaze away from his eyes but I am held, enchanted.
I feel the chill of death already lapping at my feet, but then hope burns like a flame. Kuro, my beautiful wild fox. This doll with bloody eyes will stand no chance against the fires of Kyuubi's rage.
I try to ignore the doubt that threatens to overwhelm my small feeling of hope. Surely my careless words didn't manage push away my lover. I bite my lips and meet the doll's froze eyes. He will burn; I just hope I don't freeze to death first.

Itachi watched as Naruto's face filled with fear and then hope. He almost smiled as he watched the hope flicker like a candle in the wind.
"Where is the demon?" Itachi voice was still the smooth careless drawl of an aristocrat despite his years in less civilized company. He enjoyed the confusion and horror that danced on the boys face.
"W-what are you t-talking about?" Naruto stuttered. Itachi face remained frozen, but a slight tightening around his eyes betrayed his annoyance.
"Don't play the fool. It's a simple question." There was a snort drawing Naruto's attention to the man at Itachi side.
"Perhaps he's not playing, un." The man's blond hair tumbled down into his face and Naruto recognized him at once and he snarled softly.
"See, he's nothing more then that beast. He and Tobi would get along great, they seem to be of the same intelligence, un." Deidara said cheerfully he visiable blue eye dancing with mirth. Itachi sighed softly, but otherwise ignored the other man.
"He knows, maybe he just needs to be reminded." Itachi looked as though 'reminding' Naruto would give him no pleasure, Deidara on the other hand looked thrilled.
"Yes! Let me reminded him, un!" Deidara reached down into the bag on his belt.
"No!" Itachi voice was sharp, "We need him to talk not to be turned into 'art'." Deidara looked sulky, but Itachi ignored him.
"Kisame." He didn't raise his voice, but his blue skinned partner materialized at his side. Their eyes met and Kisame smiled in understanding. Deidara muttered something about letting Kisame have all the fun, but he didn't look too upset by it.
Naruto watched with apprehension has Kisame unwrapped his sword.
"He'll kill you all." He said defiantly. Kisame snorted and lowered his blade.
Naruto screamed and Deidara laughed.

Kyuubi paused; his entire being was as tight as a drawn bow. He drew his lips back away from his long white teeth. They were hurting his Naruto he could feel it. It felt like his soul was being torn to pieces and he howled in rage.

Itachi head snapped up as he heard the howl so close to the cave. He knew it was no ordinary howl and he could feel the murderous intent and blazing charka. He glanced in disgust and the boy who lay panting and bloody on the floor.
"Deidara come." He said standing. He knew what was coming and he knew that currently they stood no change against it. He would leave Tobi and Kisame behind to hold the creature up and if necessary he would leave Deidara later.
Deidara stood his face questioning, but Itachi ignored him as the swept from the cave. He was not going to be killed here by a vengeful demon.
AN: I don't know about you, but porcelain dolls freak me out, I had to hide mine in my closet because it wouldn't stop looking at me! I am sorry for the shortness, would you believe it took me three hours to write this? I can't either.-Lady Morana.
