I got ADD with watching Naruto Shippuden Blood Prison... haha..ha...ha... Sorry... ^^;

Note from April 26th: I am Currently going through all my currently posted stories and checking spelling mistakes, missing information and everything of that category. I am working on the chapter that are still in the "Doc Manager" Area so I do not have to worry about them after I remove them. This will allow me to update the current chapters to stories that I have already checked. This does not effect when stories are updated at all.

Thank You.

I stared down at Akuma as she panted in her sleep. 'This isn't normal…' I took my hand off her forehead then exited her room. 'I need to ask Tsunade for help… she was the best medic in the world… maybe she can help Aku…'

I peered back towards Akuma's room then nodded. 'For Akuma.' I grabbed onto a coat then exited the apartment. 'I hope she is still in Konoha…' I walked down the streets looking all over for the big chest woman.

"Hmmmm? Kyuubi? What are you doing out here so early?" I looked up to see Jiraiya staring at me. "Jiraiya… there's something wrong with Akuma… I need to find Tsunade… can you help me?" he nodded as he lead the way to Tsunade's place. He knocked on the door and was greeted by a woman with short black hair.

"Jiraiya-sama?" she asked, confused. "I need to see Tsunade, is she in?" she nodded, moving away so we could enter. She closed the door then led us through the halls until we reached a room that reeked of sake.

"Tsunade-sama… you have some visitors." We walked into the room just as Tsunade lifted her head from the desk. "Kyuubi? What brings you here?" she stared at me with concern. "It's Akuma…there's something wrong with her and I don't know what…"

"Where is she?" she asked, getting out of the chair. "She's sleeping in her bed at the moment…" she nodded then grabbed a small first aid kit. "Let's go see what is wrong with your sister then."

Instead of walking back to the apartment, the woman named Shizune drove us. I unlocked the door to the apartment then lead them to Akuma's room. Tsunade pulled out small items from the bag then began listening to Akuma's heart.

"There appears to be something wrong with her heart. I think it is best we take her to the hospital." I stared at Tsunade with fear. "Don't worry… we will pay for the treatment." I shook my head. "No! I… have some money I have been saving up. I was going to use it to pay back you guys… but Akuma's health comes first!"

The adults in the room stared at me then sighed. "Kyuubi, the cost of the surgery would be too much…" I shook my head again. "I've been saving up everything since you gave us this place to stay in… I want to pay for her surgery! I'm her big brother after all! She calls me the name of the fox she loves so much… the fox that she always considered her guardian… I want to be able to take care of her!"

The adults turned to each other before Jiraiya sighed. "Alright… we will take your sister in… you gather the money then." I nodded as I bolted out of the room while Tsunade was directing Jiraiya out of the apartment, who was holding Akuma.

I ran into my room then bent down to look under the bed. I crawled under it then banged lightly on the wall, making a piece fall out. I pulled out a small shoebox, closing the wall again. I crawled out from under the bed, sitting on top of it. I opened the box to see all the money I had collected during the two years that we were here. "I'll have to make a little more… then it should be enough!" I nodded, closing the box.

I hid the box in my desk then bolted out of the apartment. 'Hopefully someone has something they can let me do and pay me for…' I looked around the market area to see if anyone needed any help. "Oh Kyuubi, you have good timing!" I turned around to see an older gentleman waving to me.

"Could you help me? The supplies people left all the boxes outside rather than bringing it in themselves." I nodded as I bolted over to him. "You know where they go right?"

"Yes sir!" he laughed at my anxiousness. "I must know, what has you so hyper today?" I stopped walking next to the man and stared up at him. "Well sir… my sister, Akuma, was taken to the hospital by Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama… I pleaded for them to let me pay for her surgery and they agreed!"

"Oh my… surgery?" I nodded. "So you are doing your normally monthly run around on money making early?" I nodded once again. "Yes sir… I feel that I may be a little short on being able to pay for her whole surgery. So I'm going to be running around to everyone to see who needs help… if I get paid or not."

"Well… I can pay you for the help… depending on how well you do and how fast you do it, will be how much you get. You just have to promise me one thing." I stared up at him with confusion. "That you and Akuma come by here sometime and have some ramen… haven't seen you two in a while."

"That is a promise we can keep!" I said as I hurried to the back to bring the stuff in. I gripped onto one of the boxes, lifting it up. 'This is heavier than normal…' I grunted as I began moving. I reached the back door, attempting to open it. My eyes went wide as I felt the weight shift in the box, making it begin to fall.

"Woah!" I looked too my side to see a boy near my age holding the other end of the box. "Ah! I'm sorry!" I said, quickly grabbing the other end of the box. "It's fine… I heard odd noises coming from back here so I decided to see what it could be."

I laughed "I'm helping the shop owner bring in his supplies! They are heavier than normal though… so I wasn't expecting the weight of the box to give out on me…"

"If you open the door and put something there to keep it open, you could carry it all in one go." the boy said, his onyx eyes staring straight at me. "Yeah… I wasn't thinking… I was just more focused on doing this then finding more people to help to make some money."

"What do you need money for?" he asked, leaning over to open the door for me. "My sister's surgery." I said as I nodded to him. "Oh? Why are you paying for it?" I glanced over my shoulder as I placed the box down in the normal spot the stuff went.

"Well… I am her older brother so… I feel that it is my place to do it, not Jiraiya-sama or Tsunade-sama or even Hiruzen-sama…" The boy stared at me before a shocked expression took his face. "I see… Would you like any help then…?"

"Oh I'm Kyuubi, Uzumaki Kyuubi." I said smiling at him. "I'm Uchiha Itachi." I nodded to him as he held the door for me as I brought in the boxes. "Do you go to school Kyuubi?"

"Ah yeah, I'm attending Hiruzen-sama's school."

"So am I." he stated. "Really? That is cool… I don't recall seeing you around though…" I said, bringing another box. "We are actually in the same class… I'm the one who is surrounded by hordes of girls against my will."

"Ohh! That's why I don't remember seeing you around! Because you got a fangirl barrier that blocks the view of unworthy eyes!" he began laughing. "You know Uzumaki… you're alright. I thought you were just a complete airhead."

"Whaaa? I only am an airhead if it makes Akuma laugh!"

"Akuma?" he asked confused. I stared at him. Then it hit me, I never told him my sister's name. "Oh! Sorry Akuma is my little sister."

"Devil? Why was she given that name?" I laughed. "What I was told was when she was born she had these deep crimson maroon colored eyes. I've only seen it once so I know it is possibly true."

"That… sounds… normal." I turned to him and smiled. "My sister… she is what pushes me to go on living each day."

"My little brother is like that to me too then… but he'd be my little ray of darkness if you consider Akuma your ray of light." I laughed "Why would he be a ray of darkness?"

"If he takes after our mother rather than father…" he trailed off before shuddering.

Yay for even more flashbacks which I didn't read yet to fix... working on so much... Mouse doesn't work right anymore! Not fair!

As of April 26th, I have started working on my stories to edit them properly. I have found many mistakes still left behind and plan to edit them. Sorry for all the spelling mistakes even up to this point, I will work on fixing them. Thank you for those that understand.
