FINALLY THE NEXT CHAPTER!!!! –Sigh- I had a HUGE case of Writer's Block… well, actually it was more like Writer's Indecision, but whatever, it's the same thing. You know, what, you DON'T EVEN KNOW! You've never even SEEN one! Sorry, random moment… but anyway, I could NOT think of what was going to happen next. At first, I was like, "It can be these two," Then I thought, "NO! I CAN'T DO THAT!!!" Then I was like, "If it's not them, then who will it be, though?" Then I got an idea and it is… or hopefully is… get ready for this, -Suspenseful music plays- BETTER THAN THE LAST CHAPTER!!!!! I can't wait for you to read it! –Huge grin- Well, I should probably type it, then… hehe…

"All right, break it up," Mika suddenly froze then jerked away to see who was talking. She stared at her for a moment, shocked, and then she closed her eyes and stood.

"What are you doing here?" Mika asked.

"Ha! You make me laugh. Like you don't know?"

"Tell me anyway." Mika glared at this new person for what seemed like hours before she finally answered.

"Fine, I suppose it doesn't matter if these four know anyway. I've come to take you to Orochimaru."

"What!?!?" Naruto shouted. "What does he want with Mika!"

"Her power, of course. She would be a great help to his goals. She's strong, from her clan's bloodline, but more importantly, she has the power of the Nekomata. And," she sneered, "Orochimaru would never pass up a chance to screw with the Akatsuki."

"The… what?" Naruto asked.

"The Akatsuki… is a horrible band of S-rank villains that plan on taking over the world." Mika spoke with pure venom in her voice. "My parents had been a part of this organization, but they died on a mission when I was about one year old. My sister then grew very close to Orochimaru. He became like a father figure to her. When Orochimaru left, she went with him." She glared at the person, who glared back. Then, I saw it. "Her name… is Kyoko Leiko… and this is her." She pointed at the person. I had noticed the resemblance between the two just moments before she had told everyone.

"I can't believe you!" Naruto shouted at Leiko. "How could you choose to join someone like that! I will never forgive him! He killed the third Hokage!!!!"

"And the third Kazekage." I heard Temari whisper under her breath.

"That old fool? He was about to die anyway." Leiko mocked. "There was no need at all for him to be alive." Naruto's chakra flared and he glared.

"I'll make you wish you never said that!" He did a hand sign.

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu! Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Hundreds of clones appeared everywhere. Leiko didn't seem impressed.

"So you have Shadow Clones, hm? That's just a waste of your chakra." Naruto charged at her. I sat up a little bit, so that I could see what was going on. It hurt a little to move, but not horribly so. 'At least that' a relief.' I thought. Naruto's clones were being destroyed easily. Then Leiko jumped out of the circle that she had been trapped in, and aimed for one Naruto. She pinned him to the ground.

"What? How did you know that I was the real one?" All the other clones disappeared.

"It's a clan bloodline. We are very perceptive to any kind of Genjutsu technique, but we can also find our enemy at all times." When she was done talking, Naruto's hands and feet had been tied up.

"When did you…" Naruto was thrown a little ways away.

"Now stay out of this, brat." Leiko turned back to Mika. "Now come on, Mika, I haven't got all day. Are you coming or not?"

"Of course I'm not coming, not without a fight!" Mika ran at her sister, arm ready for a punch. Leiko avoided every blow. Mika wasn't very fast, though, but her sister was of the same clan. Why was it that Leiko could move faster? I felt Temari lifting me up.

"Come on, Gaara, let's get out of here while we still can."

"No."

"What?" Temari was surprised by my response.

"What do you think you're doing, Temari? Help Mika." Temari looked at Kankuro, who nodded.

"All right, Gaara." She sat me back down on the ground. Mika was knocked back and Kankuro and Temari jumped into the fight. Kankuro got out Karasu (Crow) and aimed it to attack Leiko. Temari jumped to her side and prepared to attack with her fan. Leiko didn't move. Then suddenly, as Kankuro approached, she turned and ripped off Crow's arms and immediately jumped and turned to face Temari. Temari was unprepared to defend herself, and so moved her fan in front of her. Leiko wasn't aiming for Temari, though. Using Crow's arms, she sliced through her fan, making it unusable. "My fan!" Temari shouted as she landed. Leiko didn't waste any time or any movement. Right after Temari had landed, Leiko was behind her. She kicked Temari into Kankuro and Crow and all three hit the ground. Leiko jumped off of a tree and instantly was ready for her next attack. She landed on top of Temari, luckily Temari had landed on her stomach, and then jumped off. Temari was coughing trying to catch her breath. Leiko smirked evilly and kicked Temari in the side. Temari let out a gasp of pain as she rolled further along the ground. She was trembling and couldn't get back up. Kankuro had stood by now and was running at Leiko.

"You're dead, freak!" He shouted. Crow was busted, so he was simply going to try and punch her. Leiko turned and was still smirking. Kankuro punched, but she disappeared in a puff of smoke and reappeared above Kankuro. He turned in time to get punched in the face. Leiko punched him into the ground, where he lay. His face was covered in blood and he also trembled uncontrollably. I clenched my fists in the sand. I couldn't do anything! I tried to stand and managed to get weakly to my feet as Leiko turned to face Mika again. Mika had rushed over to Naruto and had cut his hands and feet free.

"Mika, now that you've seen how much stronger I am than you, just join me now. No more of your pathetic friends will get hurt that way."

"She'll never join you and Orochimaru!" Naruto was shouting. "She's smarter than that! Orochimaru only wants to use her to destroy the Leaf Village!" His fists were clenched. Sweat dripped down his face. "I will get him for killing the Old Man."

"That's Old Man deserved to die!" Leiko was getting angry now. "The cursed man hurt Orochimaru! He took his arms and all of his jutsus! Everything that he's worked so long to learn! He even needs a new vessel now, because his body is getting weaker and weaker!" She calmed herself down and glared at Mika. "Don't worry, though, Mika, it's not you." Mika looked frightened. That shocked me. She was never frightened. Not even of me. But now, faced with her sister, she was a frightened deer.

"That's it!" Naruto shouted. His chakra flared dangerously. He opened his eyes and they were red. 'Those must be the Kyuubi's eyes.' I thought. "I'm sick and tired of you, so just leave now or fight me!" He stepped forward.

"Fight you??" Leiko laughed mockingly. "That would be like fighting a rat! Why on earth would I want to fight you?"

"It doesn't matter." Naruto glared harder and clenched his fists tighter. "You don't have a choice!"

Sorry it's a little short, but it was either a little short or HUGELY long, so I figured a little short wouldn't kill you. Plus, I have the next chapter completely planned out in my head, so it'll be up soon anyway. THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL KICK BUTT I PROMISE!!! If it doesn't I'll sue myself… CURSE MYSELF FOR MAKING SUSPENSFUL CHAPTERS WITH ANTICLIMACTIC ENDINGS!!!!

-OMG IT'S ME!
