Akatsuki's War Chapter 37

I don't own anything.


Temari was really shocked. She ran over and hugged her mother.

" Please tell me where he is and why has he not seen me?" Questioned a teary Temari.

Konan hugged her back. " Deidara is alive, but he is in a coma. He is at the Akatsuki hideout. Madara would not tell me where he was in the hideout."

Temari raised a eyebrow. " Why are you and father taking orders from him?"

" That fool needs us just as much as we need him." Was all Konan said.

" I will make him tell me where Deidara at. Even if I got to kick his ass." Stated Temari. " Are you going to be OK with out me for a while?"

" I be fine." Was all Konan said.

Temari then left the room and was heading towards the Akatsuki's hideout.


A hour later. Pein watched Jiraiya's body sink to the watery depths bellow.

" I respect you Jiraiya-sensei. You even manage to take out my Animal Path body. I would have ask you to join me, but we both knew that you would say no and I would have not let you. After what you did to Temari. I really wanted to kill you. Goodbye Sensei." Pein said his last words to Jiraiya.

Then Pein glanced over to a near by wall. " By the way you can come out now."

Zestu came out of the wall. " Are you OK Leader?"

Pein didn't say anything.

" It should took a long time." Said Zestu.

" Idot! It was Jiraiya after all." Stated Zestu's black side.

" He did slow me down. I was making plans to go after the Kyuubi's Jinchuuriki. Then he just showed up." Said Pein.

" Would you mine if I tag along with you. I want to see you fight the Kyuubi. After all he did escape Itachi, Temari, Kisame, Sasori, and Deidara. He even stopped Kakuzu." Said Zestu.

" That's true, but Itachi had no attention to capture the Kyuubi's Jinchuuriki." Stated Pein.

" No. Lets go watch the fight between Itachi and Sasuke. This is the fight that both of them have waited for. I want to see them." Said Zestu's black half.

" Fine, Before I go Leader. Where is Temari at? Is she OK?" Asked Zestu

" Yes, Konan told me while I was fighting Jiraiya that she left to see Deidara." Said Pein.

Zestu raised a eyebrow. " So Madara saved him at the last second?"

" Yes, although he is in a coma." Explained Pein.

" There all three things that is soon going to be going down. Is Temari going to go with Sasuke's group to capture the Hachibi or will she stay with us and do the sealing?" Asked Zestu.

" She might go with you and Konan." Said Zestu

" It's up to her." Was all Pein said as he and his other bodies walked away.

Zest went back in the wall and left to watch the Uchiha's battle.


A few hours later.

Temari arrived at the Akatsuki's hideout. She went in a the medic room and saw Zestu with Itachi Uchiha's body lying on a table.

Zestu turned and was surprised to see her. " Temari!"

Temari walked over to Itachi's body. She had tears coming out of her eyes. " So you did choose your brother over me. I'm glad you died the way you wanted. I promise I will never forget you."

Then Temari kissed his lips and then took his necklace from around his neck and put it on. " I know that this was the necklace that your old lover had that you killed to protect the Leaf Village. I know from your memories that you wanted me to have this. Thank you Itachi for showing me love. I hope your finally at peace now. Good by my first love."

Then Temari looked at Zestu. " If you even think about eating him I will kill you. Partner or no partner."

Zestu held his hands up. " I was ordered not to."

Temari raised a eyebrow. " By who?"

" Madara Uchiha. We were ordered to watch his body. After watching Itachi fight Sasuke. Itachi was really strong and I respect the strong." Stated Zestu's black half.

"Madara Uchiha! I still need to kick his ass. I know Itachi doesn't trust him and my mother doesn't seem to trust him ether." Thought a pissed of Temari.

" Are you OK Temari?" Questioned Zestu.

" Itachi died and I need to find Deidara. How do you think I feel?" Asked Temari.

" I don't know where Deidara is, but Madara does. I believe his at the top level of the hideout." Said Zestu.

With that Temari headed up stairs to look for Madara Uchiha.


Temari arrived at the top floor and saw Kisame there.

" Hey Temari, I guess you heard about Itachi." It was more of a statement than a question.

" Yeah, I already seen his body. It's down stairs in the medic wing if you want to see him." Said Temari.

Kisame walked over to a window and looked out of it. " Did you want to know something?"

Temari raised a eyebrow." What?"

" I only cried once in my life. For a Mist ninja to cry It's really disgraceful. It was when I was little. Being that I looked different, I never had any friends. Everyone called me a freak and I cried. That was the last time I shed tears. If I walk down there and saw Itachi now. I would cry. He was not only my comrade and partner. He was also my brother." Explained Kisame.

Temari nodded her head. " I know how you feel. What happen out there?"

" Itachi told me everything. It felt good that he trusted me to tell me all that stuff. He asked me to hold off Sasuke's team and let Sasuke himself pass. I fought. It was a little fun, but then Zestu made me stop."

" Why?" Questioned Temari.

Kisame just shrugged his shoulders. " Who knows? The only thing he said was that you and I had a meeting."

Temari raised a eyebrow. " What happen to Sasuke and his team?"

" Your not going to like it." Was all Kisame said.

Temari gave him a look that said tell me now.

Kisame let out a sigh. " Sasuke and his team are all here."

Temari was shocked and closed her eyes, She could sense all of them. Before she could say anything more a voice spoke behind them.

" Kisame and Temari. It's good to see you two again." Said Madara.

Both Temari and Kisame were both surprised to see Tobi in front of them.

" Your alive Tobi! Mother never said you were alive. She just told me that Deidara was alive.

Kisame was shocked. " Deidara is alive to? Well, that's the only good news I heard today."

" Forgive me you two. There are only two beautiful women that I really like. One of them is Konan and the other is you Temari. You were the closest to me Kisame. Sorry I didn't tell you two about me from the start, but I had my reasons." Explained Madara.

Temari knew something was not right. Tobi was not talking like himself.

Madara then removed his mask to let them see his face.

Kisame and Temari widen their eyes at him.
