Chapter 11 Unedited

Recap

Quickly jumping back to put a bit of space between them, Sasuke panted slightly as he looked at her. She was good, but she wouldn't last the way she used her chakra. She charged again at Sasuke but this time it was different chakra seemed to form around the kunai.

What kind of technique was this, he had never seen such an attack as he wondered she attacked. He successfully dodged the attack but only by a second, or so he thought as she appeared and stabbed him directly through the heart from behind.

Recap End

Blood poured from the wound as the female warrior pulled out her kunai something that shouldn't have made much damage, although hers seemed to.

"Not feeling as lucky now huh?" she asked sarcastically as she made her way in front of him. Smirking slightly as she was preparing to leave him dying there. Sasuke removed his mask to allow her to see the blood stained smirk.

"Actually I feel really lucky" he replied with the same kind of tone as the body disappeared in a puff of smoke. Fortunate for Sasuke was that he had seen Naruto do his Kage Bunshin no Jutsu over a million times throughout his get together with him and was able to mimic it perfectly with his own added flare.

The girl watched as the body disappeared and then began to frantically look for it, how had he been able to do that. Just before the ANBU in front of her had vanished she was privileged enough to see his Sharingan fully activated? Long before any of this had even happened she had learned many things. Things that would keep her alive, some better than others. One of things she had learned was about certain bloodlines, she had heard about Akatsuki's member Itachi and what he was capable of.

"Itachi…" she mumbled looking around as Sasuke was watching her from a hidden spot behind a large tree. "Come out Itachi" the girl shouted as Sasuke looked rather confused.

Not another girl that thought he looked like his brother, he knew he had grown out his hair slightly but people would have to cut him some slack. He hated being compared to that teme even if it was by some girl that he barely knew. Walking out from behind the tree after hearing her call for his brother, Sasuke moved slowly towards her.

"I would prefer you get your facts straight" he muttered as he removed his mask once again revealing his onyx coloured eyes. Crossing his arms as she looked her up and down "I can't figure out why you would lounge around with a Spy" he continued in a bored tone, Sasuke had never been one to talk much as he could see she was preparing to speak.

"If your not Itachi then why do you have the same eyes!?" she shouted at him instead of it being more of a question. Sasuke just stood there smirking "hmm….you really need to go back and study some more"

She looked at him and realized that he thought she was with the man that had died "What you think I was with that weak loser" she said sarcastically " I merely saw him come through the bushes and then basically die in front of me"

"…So why did you attack me then"

"Well…you killed him…"

"…He tried to attack a…fri…er..comrade" Sasuke replied not wanting to call Aru a friend.

Looking at him in shook she couldn't believe she had started a fight with someone that had only been doing his job. "So you're not Itachi…..then you must be his loser brother" she commented as Sasuke seemed to get rather annoyed with the fact she called him a loser.

Over the past couple of years Sasuke seemed to have developed a little tick to whenever someone made fun of him

"HEY!...I'm NOT A LOSER!" he shouted back at her as she seemed to laugh slightly.

Sasuke watched her carefully as he moved back slightly. Reika smirked as she watched the Uchiha become more defensive with every move she made. It was somewhat assuming to her as she placed her hands on her hips and then gave Sasuke a hard stare back. "Look…I'm not here to fight you…I've done my job" she heard him say as he started to turn back around.

"You should be warned…not all the ANBU are as nice as me" Sasuke muttered as he was about to break for it but stopped to look back at her once again. Reika looked at him oddly and then smirked "as if you could defeat me" she said in a sarcastic manner. Scuffing slightly he shook his head, where had he heard that one before.

Sasuke grunted slightly when he felt her chakra signature disappear. He hopped that would be the last time he would ever encounter that girl. Making his way back to the village he felt slightly odd about having to watch Aru undercover. He was sure that she would be able to read his chakra signature, but it seemed that Tsunade was hell bent on him watch her. He couldn't understand why he had to do that. Naruto seemed to be doing a good job of that himself.

After coming back from his miss adventure with Orochimaru, he had been told that Naruto had died trying to get him to return and that his body was never found. Sasuke had been in a state of shock for more than a month after that. He had never actually meant to kill Naruto, Only hurt him enough so that he wouldn't be able to search for him for awhile, Or at least until he had killed his brother.

About a year after returning he began hearing about the Silver Flash, though it had never once crossed his mind that Naruto could have been that boy. Naruto was clumsy, loud and the number one most hyper active ninja he had known. While the Silver Flash was quite, stealthy and barely late anyone know about his existence. This was probably all due to Aru who he had found out was also called the Black Flash, though not much was known about that bingo missing-nin. Technically she wasn't even a missing-nin, she wasn't even a ninja.

Finally making it back to Konoha, Sasuke saw Naruto and Chibi-Aru walking through the street heading towards the Ramen Shack.

Why wasn't he surprised by that?

Sighing slightly he hide his chakra signature in order to not let on that he was following them. Quietly following them he could hear what they were talking about.

"It's all your fault Naru-chan…if you hadn't dropped the bowl, we'd be eating your home-made breakfast right now" Aru muttered slightly as she just leaned against his head seeing as Naruto was giving her a ride once again. Naruto just scuffed and then smiled " well if you hadn't started to cry after I told you I loved you then we would be having breakfast right now instead of you complaining about being hungry Aru-chan" he said jokingly.

Aru's face went beat red as she hit him on the head and then jumped off as she made her own way towards the Ramen Shack. Everything had been normal until about the time that Sakura and Nanashi appeared near the Shack.

Sasuke just continued to watch as Sakura destroyed the Ramen counter and Nanashi speaking with Naruto who didn't seem to care much for the chat. Aru on the other hand had turned her head towards Sasuke and just smirked but didn't do anything. She wanted him to know she knew he was following them but didn't bother to do anything. It wasn't like she was really up for it. Her wounds hadn't healed at all. Something that she wasn't used to, Aru just let Naruto hold onto her and then punched Naruto slightly as he carried her under his arm.

Jiraiya appeared infront of them with a huge smile on his face "Naruto just the person I wanted to see" he said as he heard his name being screamed from Tsunade's office. He had a big smirk on his face as he looked straight at Naruto who seemed to look at him confused.

"It seems that Akatsuki is on the move…" Jiraiya muttered as Naruto's eyes widened.

"what!!" he shouted back as he put Aru down " what do you mean!...they can't be" he couldn't have them coming after him down. He was too busy with other things to deal with them, only unknown to him was that they had actually changed their target to someone else.

Hiro and Abe had set the plan in motion to turn everyone against each other, though that wasn't Yui's big plan. His plan was something completely different; the things that he had set in motion were placed in order for him to get what he wanted. And that was Aru's power, and he needed Akatsuki in order to get it.

Jiraiya looked at Naruto to see his reaction and then smirked "don't worry Naruto, Your completely safe here. Tsunade won't let anything happen to you or Aru-chan, but she does want to speak to you privately for a few moments right now" he said looking back towards the tower and smirking. He was sure that she didn't want to talk to him but Naruto would be able to calm her down enough to not want to kill him for his little introduce earlier. Naruto nodded as he looked at Aru "can you get back home safely?" He asked as he looked at her who just gave him a glare as he nodded.

"oh here…If you're worried" Jiraiya said as if on cue and ANBU captain appeared next to him " he'll escort her home" Jiraiya said with a smile on his face. Sasuke on the other hand the man behind the ANBU mask glared at him even though he knew Jiraiya couldn't see it. Aru just looked at the ANBU and glared slightly, she knew who it was but she wasn't going to say anything at that moment.

Both Jiraiya and Naruto disappeared as Aru looked at Sasuke "You can take the mask off" she said calmly as he looked down at her. "I won't attack you…Naru-kun told me to play nice…." She told him as he began to remove his mask and then put it away. "for now…that is" she added after he removed it.

Sasuke was somewhat reluctant to be standing so close to her after what she had done to him the previous night. He looked at her and noticed that she was bandaged completely under Naruto's jacket. Aru continued to look at him as she moved her hands and formed a hand sign before there being a puff of smoke. She was back to her normal size but Sasuke still seemed to be looking at her chest when she returned to her adult form. "My face is up here…" she muttered in a more feminine voice.

Sasuke looked up at her and then apologized as he walked by her, "So I'm supposed to escort you home" he said as he looked at her up and down. He still couldn't help but be somewhat attracted to her even though she tried to kill him and then she …well her other self seduced him in a way. "So….Did you catch him?" she asked looking at him as it seemed to break his train of thought.

"huh…Who?" he asked a little shocked that she knew about the man before. "The Hitoshi ANBU, that Yui sent …in attempts to kill me" she said smiling at him

"…you knew about him?"

"Hmmm…Ya, I can feel when there is another Hitoshi in the area…Much like I know about Nanashi" she said looking at him. "I have to hold back every ounce in my being to not kill Nanashi… but it's strange I actually don't really seem like attacking him" she responded.

Sasuke just looked at her as they walked though it didn't seem like they where heading back to Naruto's apartment but just walking towards where the battle had happened to the night before.

"…I'm sorry" she said out of the blue looking at the damage to the district and how everyone was helping out to rebuild the damage. He looked at her somewhat shocked as he heard her apologize for what she did.

"I don't really know what I did to you, but I hurt you" she said pointing to the bandages he had on his neck and arms. "Those are from me…I know they are, I did the same thing once to Naruto…" she continued not letting him respond.

"…Can you tell me…" she asked "I don't remember anything….Naruto says I didn't hurt anyone, but …but could you tell me what I did"

Sasuke was probably more shocked than ever now, she was speaking to him politely and he couldn't figure out if it was genuine or if it was all just a trick like it had been last night.

"That Yui guy showed up, he did the damage" he replied, for some reason he didn't want to tell her what really happened either. Something inside him was saying that if he told her she may have a breakdown or something similar.

She looked a little disappointed and then nodded " heh, I'm smart enough to know when someone is lying. Its fine"

"Oh…you wanna know what you did huh…" the voice began again.

"I'll tell you, You …well both of us … attacked the boy, he was so much fun to play with too. Next time I come out, I think I'll have some more fun with him"

"Shut up!!" she shouted as she fell down to her knees and held her head. Sasuke didn't really understand what was going on as he knelt down beside her

"Hey…come on, I better get you back to the baka's apartment before he notices your gone and puts the blame on me" Sasuke said as he put his mask back on and then picked her up slowly. She wasn't as heavy as he thought she would be, she was actually much lighter than he had imagined. Aru didn't really get much say in anything he did as he had picked her up before she could argue her point and before she knew it he was running across the roof tops. "reminds me …" she started as Sasuke looked down for a moment. "…To teach you Flash dance…" she said softly " your way to slow for my liking" she continued as moments later Sasuke was infront of the apartment door putting her down so she could stand and open the door.

Aru started to look through the pockets of the jacket Naruto had made her wear to find the key to the door and then sighed. "Naru no baka…" she muttered as Sasuke looked at her oddly. " he, he forgot to give me the key…" she said as she bit her thumb as if she was going to do a summoning seal but instead it formed a blood key. Sasuke watched in awe as she placed the blank blood key into the keyhole and then turned it.

"Handy in times like this…" she joked with a smile on her face while Sasuke just followed her into the apartment. It was much cleaner then he had thought a place where Naruto would live, but that had been the Naruto he had once known, it wasn't the boy he knew now at all. Things had changed in the time they were both away.

Sasuke watched her begin to take off the jacket as he turned. She still didn't comprehend the matter that she couldn't just take her clothes off in front of men. It was just a normal habit she had picked up when being with Naruto, even though he had explained to her why she couldn't change in front of men she still did it either way. It was probably why Naruto kept her in her child form more now since she had acquired breast the older she got. Lucky for her was that she was wearing a bra and panties under the jacket while certain area's like her arms, shoulder and legs were bandaged up from the previous fight. It was somewhat lucky for Sasuke that he was once again wearing his mask or Aru would have defiantly seen his now red face. Why did he have to watch over her? He could see now why Naruto always wanted to hide her from the world, guys would just stare at her and try to do god knows what to her if she didn't know what she did.

She turned her back to him as she walked towards the shelf trying to find some actual cloths as Sasuke now saw the seal on her lower back. He couldn't seem to take his eyes off it was Aru could feel that he was staring at her. "eh…What?" she asked looking at him somewhat angry.

Snapping out of it within seconds of her question he looked back up at her face and then shook his head. "oh..Nothing, that seal…" he said looking out the window know somewhat embarrassed that he had been caught staring at her.

Blinking slightly as she looked in the mirror at her back seal wondering why he was so curious about it. "hmm….strange" she said as she went for a kunai that was laying on the table near her. She then cut herself slightly on her back to see what would happen, but nothing did. Usually whenever she got cut, it would heal and then become a part of the seal, those having seals on her entire body. Since the battle with Yui, she only had seals on her lower back and left shoulder blade.

Aru then lifted the hair off her eye and saw that the seal there was gone also and then just wondered what was going on. Something must be wrong with her if all the seals were starting to disappear or…or this was just a symptom before it got worse. Sasuke on the other hand had become completely lost has he just watched her from the corner of his eye before hearing a knock on the door.

"Aru-chan…Answer the door, its me….Your love!" Kyo said through the door as a thud was heard seconds after that "Tsuki!! ...what was that for!" he shouted as the door opened and the ANBU stood there. "oh hello Sasuke" Kyo said smirking as Sasuke just seemed to let out a sigh, did all of them know it was him or was there something written on his mask that shouted 'LOOK AT ME, I'M SASUKE!'

Tsuki walked in first as Kyo slowly followed behind, Once they had both reached the living room they saw Aru in her undergarments as Kyo looked back at Sasuke. "oh…My apologizes, we seem to be interrupting something" he said grinning as he caught the Kunai that Aru had thrown at him while now giving him the glare of death at the same time as Tsuki seemed to be about to hit him once again.

-End of Chapter-

I know I know…Not much happened in this chapter..

And I really suck!!

I know TT…I couldn't think of anything for this chapter, but I promise the next one will have Akatsuki members and Yui's full plan ;;

Give you a hint for Chapter 12.

Akatsuki is planning on recruiting Aru as a member of the team, or that's what they've been told to do by Paine the "boss". Either way, Hiro and Abe make them believe that Aru has joined them so that when they meet up with Aru later on bad things happen.

That's all the Hint of giving you, but that's the next chapter.
