Chapter 21

The silver haired Jounin looked around the area, it reeked of blood and death...and yet..there was no evidence..not a trace of a corpse. A man in a wolfs masked said form behind him "It seems like the bodies were disposed of...Who ever did this...most have been a very skilled ninja." Kakashi nodded and said "Yes..." He turned to the man, he asked in bored tone "Have you heard word of the other squads?.." The man shook his head and said "No...nothing. Its as if they vanished.." Kakashi's eye adverted to the seen among him. The only evidence of a battle that was held here was huge dent in a huge oak tree and the eerie look of death and its stench that contaminated the fresh forest scent. Kakashi narrowed his eyes and said "I have a feeling these ninja have not yet left the forest." He turned to the men and ordered "Call more Anbu and search the woods!.." The man in the wolf mask nodded and said "Okay..Who do you think it could be? Sound nin?." Kakashi looked again at the seen before him.. He said faintly "I'm guessing... The Akatsuki has something to do with this.." The Anbu's eyes widened. He recovered easily and said softly "Maybe...your right." With that said he disappeared. Kakashi turned away and went the other way with the remaining Anbus.

/After a while of searching.../ Kakashi made a signal for them to spread around the area. He looked at the 3 cloaks and a small figure that was outlined faintly in the moonlight. He made a signal to move, the Anbus stepped out, just when the 4 were about to leave. Kakashi said in loud tone "Stop right there...Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Kyra, and Hoshigaki, Kisame...and...who are you?..." Aqua looked up and said in small voice "They kidnapped me. My name is Aqua." Kyra sent her a glare. Aqua just looked away, a bit intimidated and scared of that dark icy glare that she had been given. Kyra looked up and said in a calm voice "Do you all wish to die, like your friends did?." They all glared at her, while a small smirk played on her lips. Itachi slid his hand on her waist and pulled her between Kisame and him, protectively. Itachi said in serious way "Do not interfere with my work, Hatake. I will ask you once...either leave while you still can or I'll just have to kill you all right here and right now. Choose wisely." No one moved a muscle, as heavy intense silence filled the air. Kakashi raised a kunai and said "Look around you..Your outnumbered...theres even more squads coming as we speak.." Kyra's voice was heard "More to kill...Fine by me.." Itachi looked at her and said in warning tone "Kyra.." Kyra got silent and sighed. Itachi turned back to the Jounin. The truth was they WERE in deep trouble...Don't get me wrong...they were strong but thousands and thousands of them. This was not going good. Itachi stayed silent for a moment before saying in smooth tone "Look around you...notice anyone missing.." A slight panic and shock filled the air. Kisame held out three men, they were all leaders of a squad. Kyra dragged out 6 wrapped in black ropes. She hurled them to the floor and put her feet on their backs. She looked up with a small smirk. Itachi said in monotone "Either let us go or have your tops Anbu leaders of your squads die.." A intense silence followed in. Kakashi said in a stern tone "We still have you outnumbered.." He looked around to see angry glares of some of the Anbus. He continued "We'll make a deal with you.." Itachi narrowed his eyes. Kisame looked at them with a scowl, while Kyra just stayed behind her husband with a impassive look. Kakashi continued "We'll make a trade hand in Aqua for the Anbus. When we make the trade, we will leave you alone." They heard the black haired woman sigh, she took out a kunai and stabbed Kisame and Aqua. Everyone except Itachi looked at as the clones went 'poof', in shock.

They looked around and raised there guards up. Kyra said nothing as they looked around. And then there was loud painful screams as bodies upon bodies fell to the floor. Kisame appeared from behind the bodies with a grin and bloody samhada. Kyra and Itachi got into action, they both ran at inhuman speed, killing nearly half of the Anbus with just Kunais. Kyra flipped back and attacked them from side to side, using only half of her speed. Itachi slit a mans throat and made his way to Kakashi. As soon as two laid eyes on each other, they attacked each other, engaging themselves in a battle between life and Death. Kyra flipped through the air and said to Itachi "Itachi!..Theres more coming..." Itachi looked off to side, before sending the silver haired Jounin flying into the tree. Swarms of Anbus ran full speed towards them. To there surprise, they had wiped out almost the whole entire army of them. But as more of them came, they acted like replacements for the ones that died. Bodies littered the floor and the stench of blood was heavy in the air. Itachi looked at his wife from the corner of his eyes. She was tired, he could tell, but knowing her, she did not show it at all. All three of them were tired, they had just been battling tons of men, in someone else's eye they would have called these killers crazy. Going up against a horde of Anbus. This action they took was sucide. Kakashi asked while trying to catch his breath "Wheres the girl?." Kisame smirked and said "And what makes you think were going to tell you?.." The Jounin glared at him, in distaste and anger. One of the countless things he hated about the Akatsuki...they kidnapped the innocent and forced them join, they didn't care about them, to them people were like tools to be used and thrown away when they got rusty or were of no use to them. The victims did not have a choice either. He knew how it was going to go with that blue haired girl. If she didn't join them, she'd have her life taken away form her, in a second. Thats how cruel and harsh the leader was. Putting his victims, in dilemma, he'd use their fear for their deaths or someone else close to make them join his organization

What lingered in his mind was 'What was so special about the blue haired girl, Aqua? The girl looked as if she could barely hold up a knife. The gentleness of her eyes, told him she couldn't even hurt someone. She was kind hearted person' He looked at the three faces of the dangerous and powerful criminals. Kyra made some hand signs and the hostages that had disappeared from when the battle took place appeared right next to her in a black fog. She said in monotone "Either let your fellow team mates die or leave us alone." Kakashi couldn't help but observe the woman. She was extremely gorgeous and wore clothing that gave her a dark radiance and look. And clearly by nature she was a dark, cold woman. The thing he noticed that stood out most was her personality. He found it very similar to the male Uchiha.

Kakashi said in neutral tone "Lets make a deal...A alternative one." Kyra narrowed her eyes, she knew she, her husband and Kisame were going to lose this battle so she no choice but to probably go along with this deal he was offering. And what made the situation worse was because of the the amount of chakra they had left, it wasn't very little, this would pose a threat of them ever surviving and getting away from this Anbus. Itachi spoke "State it..." Kakashi nodded and said "In exchange for us to let you go and take back the hostages...you give Kyra Uchiha.." Kyra's eyes widened. Anger boiled in him, he was about to say something when he all of sudden felt a hand touch his arm. He stared into her eyes. He instantly read what she was thinking, She was planning on letting them take her. She said "Let me go.." Itachi cast a glance at them and slowly nodded. He sighed, he knew they had no choice. Either way they would lose, if they fought back they would eventually get tired and get defeated. So this was the only solution for this situation.

Kyra stabbed Kisame in the arm and said "Thats for hurting me earlier.." Kisame fell to his knees as pain shot up his body, she heard the shark whine "But Itachi already took care of that!...I have a big fucking bump in my head to prove that." Kyra just swayed her hand indicating that she didn't care. She approached Itachi and said quietly "You better...come get me..or that entire village will die by my hands and then it will be your turn. Just take care of Death..." Itachi nodded. She hugged him, while he just let her. She pulled away and said "Bye..Itachi.." Itachi just gave her a emotionless stare, but she knew how his eyes worked. She saw flashes of sadness and anger flash in them. So she did what she really wanted to do. She grabbed his face and pulled him into a very deep kiss. Itachi stood there not knowing what to do. While everyone's eyes were bulging out of their heads and jaws were dropped all the way to the ground. So Itachi did what he would usually do if anyone wasn't there, without a care about what they thought he was going to give his wife a kiss, he slid his arms around her waist and kissed back slowy. He then pulled away and looked at everyone who still had the shocked looks. Kyra chuckled and kissed him on the cheek, she whispered "I just think I ruined your reputation.." Itachi looked down at her and grabbed her arm, he twisted it behind her back, making a small amount of pain shoot through her body, she said "Itachi.." He pulled his lips close to ear and said "Do that again and it will mean death..You know how I feel about public affection." When she heard those words, it went from one ear to the other. She didn't care...so she flipped away from his grip and kissed him again. Itachi who couldn't resist grabbed the back of her head and kissed back, he then pulled away and pushed her forwards. He turned around and said "Go, my love.." Kyra smiled slightly and nodded. She turned to the shocked Anbus, who had a bewildered look. Her face turned back to its emotionless look. Kisame turned around and said "Good bye, Kyra...Be a nice girl.." With that said he disappeared with her lover, leaving the hostages on the floor.

Kyra looked at Kakashi hands which held chakra cuffs. Kyra looked up at him and said sharply "I have no intention of escaping , or else I would have done so, when you had your back turned..." Kakashi frowned and said "Very well then follow me.." Kyra caught the look of distrust in his eyes, but she did not react and followed behind him wordlessly. Silence came.

/Hokage's office/ Tsunade looked at the woman in front of her who was the cause of many deaths over the past years. Tsunade said "A surviving Uchiha? This is interesting.." Kyra said nothing as she just stared at the woman with her emotionless gaze. Feeling a bit intimidated by her gaze, Tsunade shifted a bit in her seat and asked "How did you survive? And I suggest that you speak the truth or we'd lock you up instead of having you roam free around my village..." Kyra spoke for the first time, in silent yet deadly tone "Free? Followed by your subordinates is not freedom, Hokage..." Tsunade just sent her a glare and said "Put it in whatever term you like, Kyra. But due to the many lives lost by your hands and your ties with the Akatsuki as a member, it is a risk I will never take. Now answer the question. How did you survive?.." Kyra answered back "It doesn't matter. All that matters is I am alive.." She watched as the woman twitched slightly in anger, looks like someone was not satisfied with the answer. Tsunade said in calm tone "Answer me or else I will have you locked up into the dungeons.." Kyra said in serious tone "Then do it.." Not a trace of emotion showed on her face. She was unaffected by the threat. This is what got the Hokage angry, people who acted like this. Tsunade kept herself from jumping the woman and just raised a eyebrow. She asked "So your telling me you would rather be locked up then be able to roam this village...just for not answering a simple question." Kyra ignored the point the woman had made, and said coldly "My past is none of your concern, Hokage." Tsunade said nothing at first then after a couple moments of silence, she sighed and said "As long as you stay here I will have to know a bit information about you.." Kyra said quietly "What is there more to know? My name is Kyra, I am a member of the Akatsuki and I kill.." Tsunade frowned at her words and asked "What about your relationship with S-ranked criminal Uchiha Itachi?. Did you help him murder his clan?." Kyra said after a while "That does not concern you, No." The Hokage grasped the information and went into deep thought. She said to Kakashi "She's in your hands for now..However make sure Anbu are with her where ever she goes. She cannot be trusted." The silver haired Jounin nodded and motioned Kyra to follow him.

Naruto and Sakura yelled in unison "YOUR LATE!!" Kakashi said "Sorry but a-." Sakura cut him off and said "Let me guess you A black cat crossed your path so you had do go all the way around?..." The Jounin just stared at the girl, he shook his head and said "Kyra...come out." A beautiful woman with black hair with blood red eyes, dressed in all black, stepped out from behind him. The three chunins stared at her. Kakashi looked at the woman with narrowed eyes and said to the three "I was late because of her..." Sakura and Naruto asked rather loudly "Who is that?!." Kyra said nothing, as she stared at the weaklings impassively. She turned half way and leaned her back against the tree. Kakashi looked at Sasuke and said "Her name is Uchiha, Kyra..." Sasuke who was also leaned against the tree, look up when he heard that, a flicker of interest flashed through his eyes. Sasuke said quietly "Another surviving Uchiha?..Impossible.." Kyra who heard that, closed her eyes and said silently "Its possible, Uchiha Sasuke." Sasuke tensed and asked in rather cold tone "How do you know my name? I never met you in my life.." Kyra opened her eyes and gave him a side long glance, she closed her eyes again and said "Your brother told me.." Kakashi mind gave a warning signal when he saw Sasuke clench his fists. The woman just had to say that, did she...Sasuke asked in a even colder tone, with a hint of anger in it "How do you know him?! Where is he?." Kyra did not say a word but ignored him.

Sasuke asked again "Did you hear me? I said How do you know him?.." Kakashi said to him "Sasuke calm down.." Sakura and Naruto just looked at their friend, his face was filled with darkness and rage. Kyra did not answer. Sasuke pulled out a knife and threw it at her, in very fast motion, however to there shock she caught it. It was only 1 inch from her skull and she caught it effortlessly.. She opened her eyes and gave him a impassive look. She disappeared and appeared behind him, but before she could do anything, a bunch of Anbus including Kakashi jumped out, and got ready to restrain her. She held her hand up making them stop. She stated in calm tone "I am not going to kill him." The Anbus faltered a little but kept their eyes on her. She pulled her lips to his ear and whispered "Don't do that again, nor pry into my business, or it will mean your death by my hands, Uchiha.." With that said she disappeared back into her spot. Everyone had a look of awe on there faces, because of her speed, but the chunins were confused. Sakura asked "Why does she have Anbus following her?.." Kakashi paled and said in commanding stern tone "I don't want any of you going near that woman. She is very dangerous and powerful.." Sasuke said "Tch Strong? Yeah right. Shes a girl." Kakashi glared at him and said "She's stronger than all of us put together. Never judge your opponents their gender, height, etc, Sasuke. It is a unwise decision you could get yourself killed, as matter of fact you almost did." Sasuke shot him a glare. Sakura glanced at the woman briefly and said "She can't be that strong can she?..Why is she so dangerous? I don't understand..." Kakashi said "Shes part of the Akatsuki." Fear and shock dawned on them. Sasuke clenched his fists until they turned white and casted a hateful dark glare. The woman just turned her head away and looked out into the sky.

Kakashi asked the woman "Have you reached the final stage of sharingan?." The leaf ninjas sat under the oak tree. Kyra was right across from with her back leaned against a tree. She did not answer. So Kakashi asked again. She finally answered "I did. So?.." Kakashi did not say anything he just looked at her. She stared at the sky with a darkened expression, silence came. But that shattered when the blond and pink haired girl began to argue again. Kyra sighed and said quietly to herself "Ever heard of silence, fools?." The two glared at her, she just turned her head away. They all stared at her but turned away when she shot them a glare. She looked out into the sky, a cool breeze swept across her face, and swayed her long black locks into the air, she closed her eyes wishing to go back to her home.

/At night/ Kyra stepped into the room, it was simple one just like she liked it. Dark shades, a bed, dresser, mirror, and her own bathroom. Thats all she needed. She took off her clothes and put on the nightgown she had in her small bag. She heard Anbus, outside in the hall talking about her. She sighed when she heard them say 'lets just fuck' and tons of other stupid remarks. She looked down at her bag, she had been carrying for a week now. It turned out to be handy. She slipped into a night gown, and climbed into bed. She got up and opened the window, a fresh breeze blew in, making the hot air in the room turn to a fresh cool temperature. She turned back to her bed and laid down. And soon drifted into a light sleep.

About 30 minutes later a noise was heard from the balcony window. She shot up from her bed with a knife in her hands. Itachi stood there with a dark expression. Kyra said "Itachi?.." He turned to her and said "Hn?." She quickly got up, closed the windows with the dark curtains. She turned to him and said "What are you doing here? If you get caught there going to kill you!...And what about the baby? Where is he?." Itachi pressed his lips on hers and silenced her. He pulled away and caressed her cheek with the back of his hand, he said softly "You worry too much. I came here to get you, I won't get caught and Death is asleep.." She let out sigh and nodded. Itachi pressed his body close to hers and whispered "Did they hurt you?.." Kyra hugged him and rested herself in his arms. Itachi lifted her and laid her in bed with her while caressing her back. Kyra cuddled close to him and said "No...However I did get a chance to piss your brother off.." Itachi smiled faintly, he said "IF they did hurt you, name the names I will go handle them.." Kyra just kissed him and said "I am fine..now take me home...I don't like it here.." Itachi nodded and took off his cloak, he covered her body with it and picked her bag up along with her. He looked back at the place making sure nothing was left and no one was there and jumped out the window, with his love in his arms.

Kyra wrapped her legs around Itachi's waist and kissed him. Itachi pulled away from her lips and said "Get some rest.." Kyra nodded as she laid on top of him and buried her face into his chest. Itachi wrapped his arms around her and closed his eyes. Kyra whispered "I love you..." She heard him say faintly "I love you too.." Kyra drifted off into sleep after a while.

Kyra woke up up in the morning to see Itachi hovering over her, she smirked and said "Morning.." Itachi just nodded, he got up and went into the bathroom. Kyra smirked when she felt the shower on, she disposed her clothes and grabbed a towel. Very quietly she opened the bathroom door and slipped in. She heard noises coming from the shower, she opened the curtains catching him by surprise. Kyra dropped her towel and climbed into the shower with a small smirk. Itachi recovered and looked her over, with one movement he had his wife pinned to the shower floor. He then leaned down and kissed her deeply. Kyra felt her body heat up as his fingers began to trail over her body, caressing every corner. She moaned his name and smiled.

/Back in Konoha/ Tsunade glared at the Anbus in great anger. She said "She escaped? Left? Gone. Where the hell were you?!I give one mission to keep this woman from escaping...and you fail!!." The Anbus casted their eyes downward. A Anbu spoke "Me and my team were there...but he was so fast...We couldn't catch up to him...Hes skills past ours.." He looked up to see the Hokage's reaction. Tsunade asked "He? Who?." The man answered "Uchiha, Itachi.." Her eyes widened slightly, she said skeptically "Looks like he has found some one he cares for. And I wouldn't be surprised too the two make a perfect match. I knew there was something going on with them..." She paused and said in serious way "I thinks we found his weakness. Her.." The men in the room looked at each other as the Hokage's eyes gleamed. She spoke again "If we can capture her...we will have advantages like finding out where the Akatsuki base is and etc.. However the problem is she rivals Itachi's strength. Shes strong just like him..it will be hard for us to capture her.." All the men nodded in agreement.

Sekyo pushed Deidara away and yelled "Bastard you bit me!." Deidara said "I am so sorry, my love, un.." Sekyo just grabbed a wooden spoon and ran after him. Deidara screamed like a girl and yelled "I SAID I WAS SORRY BABY!...AAAHHHHH OW! OW! GAHHHHH. YOUR CRAZY WOMAN! OW..SEKYO THAT HURTS..NOW DON'T HIT ME THERE!!." Then there was loud thud. Sekyo came out of the Deidara's room and closed the door. A odd smile crossed her face as she skipped to the main area. Some of the members who had came to see what all the noise was about, saw her skip away from his room with a creepy smile. They looked at each other and than at the blonds door. Tobi stepped into his room, to see Deidara unconscious on the floor, with his hands holding his crotch, there was a very pained expression on his face. Tobi paled and closed the door. He said in a grave tone "Stay away from that woman.." With that said he left. Hidan got curious, so he checked it out. He came back with a blank look. He said to them "Listen to Tobi.." One after another each member went. They all shook there heads in disgust, fear, and disapproval. Kyra came out of the room to see the men all in one area, they all had pale faces. Kyra asked out of curiosity "What is wrong with you guys?.." All of them pointed to the door way to Deidara's room. She slowly walked to the door and stepped in. She came out with a small smirk. They all looked at her. She said "If it were me. I would have chopped it off." The all winced. While Kyra just walked back to her room, satisfied with the fact that she had just arose fear of her in the bunch. She did not have time for this, she needed to go satisfy her husband. He still wanted more of her, so she was going to give him that pleasure, since he did save her and all. She walked in and saw him laying on the bed with boxers on. He said in husky tone "Come here.." Kyra obeyed and walked right up to him. With one hand, he pulled her forward with enough force to make her fall on top of him. He grabbed her chin and crashed his lips on to hers. Kyra wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back deeply.

Me: Leaving you here...

Itachi:...
