I refuse to put a disclaimer here cause everyone should be bright enough to know that I don't own Naruto. I'm pretty sure that's why this is called FANfiction.


- -Part Thirty-Seven- -


And out of the shadows came…Itachi Uchiha. Yes, I know, big shocker.

"Yo," I said, waving slightly.

Naruto gives me an incredulous look.

"What?" I asked him, shrugging.

Itachi walked forward and took something out from somewhere in the depths of his long cloak. He held it out and we all saw what it was.

"Oh hey," I said, laughing slightly, "I knew you were gonna come cause of that."

"It stopped," he said, "Was this some sort of idea as a joke?"

I shook my head quickly, "No, it's just that once the battery runs out, you need to charge it again for it to work again," I said, smiling nervously.

"But what do you want with us?" Naruto asked, glaring at the older Uchiha.

A slight smirk crossed his face, "I don't want any of them, I only need you Naruto," he said.

Despite my attempts not to, my eye twitched and I said, "Ok that sounds SO wrong…"

His gaze then turned to me, "I tried getting rid of you last time. It obviously failed. This time it won't," he said.

"Right," I said, rolling my eyes, "Of course it won't."

Naruto's still looking at me oddly, "Don't annoy him!" he whispered, "He's incredibly powerful!"

I crossed my arms, "And I care…why?" I asked.

"Because he's evil," Naruto said, looking at me as if I were stupid.

"Oh," I said simply, "That changes things then."

Naruto rolled his eyes and looked at everyone there. I could tell he was trying to think of something. Well, he was, before he started laughing insanely.

"What the…?" I muttered. Everyone was looking at him oddly. Well, besides Itachi of course. He was just sorta standing there…

Naruto lifted his arm and pointed at Neji, "Wh-What happened to his h-hair?!" he asked.

Neji growled and pointed to me, "She did it," he said and took out the braids.

"Darn," I said, "Didn't have a camera but I should have used hairspray, would have made thing last for more…"

"Enough," Itachi said and threw something at me.

At first I thought it was a kunai, or some sort of weapon. But then I recognized it and caught my beloved Ipod.

"Now I shall eliminate all who get in my way," he said and came running at me, "You've done so too many times. It's over."

I stepped to the side at last minute, letting him run past me, "Of course it is," I said sarcastically.

"What did I say about- wait," Naruto said, looking mischievous, "I've got a plan…"

Everyone went to where he was and Itachi turned around, "You think that planning will be able to stop me from achieving my goals?" he asked.

"Yes," I said and turned back to Naruto, Hinata and Neji.

"Fine, I'll let you plan. Then I'll show you that it was useless," he said and turned towards the window.

After a moment of listening to Naruto, and multiple interruptions from me, everyone knew what to do.

"Hey retard, over here!" I yelled and threw a pillow at him, "Bet'cha can't get me!"

His face showed nothing as he caught the pillow and ran at me.

"You know, it doesn't hurt to use some facial expressions for once," I said, narrowly dodging his attack, "Unless, of course, you don't mind being a cold hearted female dog!"

"What the…?" Naruto said this time.

Neji rolled his eyes, "She means the word-"

Hinata coughed loudly as Neji said it.

"You think I'm female?" Itachi asked, voice as plain as paper.

I shrugged and said, "You never know. A lot of people can change their looks with- what is it over here? Medical Ninjutsu?"

It seemed I got him at least a little angry because he was able to cut me. Of course, I think he was holding back for some reason. I mean, me being able to evade his attacks? Very unlikely.

"And then there's the thing where you just might be gay," I said, smirking, "That would be so hilarious. Ha, you could be, like, making out with Kisame or something."

Naruto made a face, "EWWWW!!" he exclaimed, making gagging noises.

Itachi took out a kunai and charged straight for me. I reached behind me and opened the kitchen drawer, like I was supposed to. Just as he was about to stab me, I pull out a kitchen knife and block his attack.

"That's so funny," I said as the two knifes pushed against each other, "You didn't deny your 'love' for Kisame either! I wonder what he'd say to that?"

"I'd say that you were making it up," came a familiar voice from the window, "He wouldn't love anyone."

"Are you sad?" I asked, highly amused at all of this despite the situation we were in.

I heard him growl as he came to attack as well. Hinata and Neji blocked him off though.

"RASENGAN!!" Naruto shouted and I moved right in time to escape the blow. So did, unfortunately, Itachi.

"Damn," I muttered, "So close."

"Your attempts are futile," Itachi said, "Give up. Come, Naruto, or no one gets hurt."

"I won't let them get hurt!" Naruto yelled angrily. Uh-Oh…this can't be good…

Then we heard a scream. A girl's scream.

We both turned to look. Hinata looked petrified and utterly defeated. She was staring at the sword, which the tip of the wrappings had come off, showing razor sharp teeth-like things.

Crap, Hinata and Neji dealt a lot with Chakra. They were basically useless against Kisame!

I felt a sharp and very painful blow to my side. Looking down, I saw that Itachi had attacked us while we weren't looking. He had pierced my side with a kunai.

"Ow," I gasped out, clutching my side, "Damn. Itachi, you cheated."

"Cheated?" he asked.

"You did it while we weren't paying attention. That means you cheated, you played unfair," I said.

"You consider this all a game?" he asked.

I rolled my eyes, "Figure of speech!" I exclaimed. My side was bleeding heavily now. How deep did he stab me?

Naruto turned his head from looking horrified at Hinata to me and Itachi. His bright blue eyes widened when he saw the blood and me holding my side.

"Great," I said, coughing a little, "Now I can't have kids. Good job, buddy."

Naruto went from glaring at Itachi to looking at me incredulously, "You must be truly insane to be able to talk like that during a battle!" he exclaimed.

I shrugged slightly, "Insanity's fun," I said.

"Enough," Itachi said once again, "This time I'll finish you."

Five minutes later

"Reilly! Stay out of this!" Naruto exclaimed, trying to push me out of the way.

"Hell no!" I exclaimed, a bit woozy from losing so much blood. So far Itachi had directed all his attacks on Naruto, but I intervened when Naruto couldn't dodge. Meaning I took the blow instead of him.

"But you can't really do anything!" Naruto exclaimed.

"I can help," I said, "I may not be able to perform any special medical stuff or create illusions like your beloved Sakura, but I can help."

He looked at me, "What are you talking about Sakura now?" he asked.

"Because you love her," I said and pushed him out of the way when Itachi threw a shuriken star at him and he wasn't paying attention. It dug into my shoulder.

Just as Naruto was about to respond, he froze. Kisame was standing behind him with the giant sword up to him. As much as I knew, it was slowly draining the chakra from him.

"I told you that you couldn't defeat us," Itachi said, "You all are just too weak."

"Shut up," I whispered.

"Hmm?" he asked, "What did you say?"

"I said shut up!" I exclaimed while running to Naruto. Itachi held me back though and I saw Naruto crumple to the ground. Hinata was unconscious while Neji was awake but from the looks of it, had a hard time getting up.

"Just let us take him," Itachi said, making it sound as if it were all too easy.

"And…why the hell…would I agree…to that?" I asked, panting as the blood loss was taking its toll.

"Otherwise you and your friends die," he said.

I tried standing a little straighter, "I don't care about myself but you leave my friends out of this!" I said, glaring at the older Uchiha.

He shrugged, "Whatever, I don't have time for this. Kisame, get the boy and let's go," he said.

"Oh no you don't," I growled as I saw the shark guy pick him up. Suddenly I felt a huge rush flow through me. What the hell?
