Kaiyuga: * Wiping her brow* Well, thanks for your reviews, but we've got bigger problems.

Kakashi: Hehehehehehehehehe!

*Kakashi is hanging upside down from the chandelier like a monkey*

Kaiyuga: You see, it happened with this book...

~~*~~ Flashback ~~*~~

"I'll save you, Wilson!"

"Oh, shut up. I wasn't really going to burn it!"

"You...weren't?"

"NO, YOU NUMBSKULL!!"

"Don't call me that."

"Hey, while you're in my custody, you'll have to deal with whatever I say and/ or do. I'm sheltering you from a psycho!"

"Who?"

"KakashiLvr."

"AHH! NOT HER?!"

"Yup."

"Oh no! WhatamIgonnado, whatamIgonnado, WHAT AM I GONNA DO?!?!"

"Look, you're famished. Thinking on an empty stomach'll make you sick. Here, have a pixie stix."

~~*~~ End of Flashback ~~*~~

Kaiyuga: Little did I know that if you give Kakashi a sugar cube, let alone a pixie stix, he's off like a rocket.

Kakashi: Hehehehehehehehehe!!!!!

*The chandelier's cables are starting to loosen. Kakashi stops laughing, and now looks petrified. *

Kakashi: *In a small and timid voice* Uh- oh!

*The chandelier comes crashing down, burying Kakashi under the rubble. Kaiyuga has anime dot eyes with a giant teardrop behind her head. A couple of seconds pass. *

Kaiyuga: Kakashi?

* Nothing. *

Kaiyuga: Ka- kashi?

*Kakashi suddenly bursts from the debris, cackling wildly. Kaiyuga jumps back in defense. *

Kaiyuga: Sorry, Kakashi.

*Kakashi's maniac laughter is abruptly cut off. He falls to his side, out cold. *

Kaiyuga: * Pulls back a pistol* Good thing I got a permit from Pest Control to obtain and use a tranquilizer gun.

* Pulls dart out of Kakashi's shoulder, and heaves him up onto her shoulder. *

Kaiyuga: If you excuse me, I have to put this one to bed.

* Red lights flare. Voice shouts, "INTRUDER, INTRUDER!!*

Kaiyuga: Oh shit! She's here!

* Pulls out a broomstick. *

Kaiyuga: Alright, KakashiLvr! Show yourself!

KakashiLvr: You set up SECURITY SYSTEMS?!

Kaiyuga: Yes indeedily!

KakashiLvr: *Shrugs* Oh well. TIME TO FIGHT!!

* Pulls out a mop and charges. Kaiyuga parries the attack. *

Kaiyuga: This could get a little messy, folks! Just read the fanfic! And we'll see what happens later! * Starts fighting back. *

"Alright, Naruto, I'm not holding back!" Aki pulled out a relatively thin wooden staff that was at least four inches higher than her.

"Where did you get THAT?!" said Naruto, half- surprised, half- sarcastic.

"I made it. With my brother's Swiss army knife."

Covering the staff were strange markings that she had carved in. Naruto gaped. Those marks...

...were carved out...

...by CHAKRA!

He could see the symbols glow through the lines like white crystals.

"Well, come on then." Said Aki, taunting him with the "Bring it!" gesture.

Naruto charged with his kunai. He couldn't have been blinder...

Aki swung her staff upwards, striking Naruto in the chin. She struck him a second time in the chin, then on the head. Naruto spun around, dazed by the series of hits.

"Aw, come on! Is that all you got?"

She swung her staff down, pointing at his head. Naruto, getting his wits together, shook his head furiously, and now was growing irked by the second.

"Show me what you've got!" she dared, reaching for her knapsack, which had been buckled back on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^..^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Naruto tensed. What was she going to bring out now?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^..^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aki could sense his tension, so she pulled it out very slowly.

"Come on, then!" she said, whipping out her CD player.

Naruto collapsed from annoyed shock.

"WHAAAT?!?!?!" he exclaimed, confused and worn out, "What.!.where..!..What is THAT?!"

"It's a CD player." Aki said as though Naruto was dumb, "You know...plays CDs?"

Naruto just blinked, nonplus.

"Whatever. Anyway, I'm dying to her a new song!" She slipped on her headphones.

Naruto had a strong sense of de ja vue when Kakashi had whipped out Make Out Paradise at the survival session.

"I'm WAITING." Said Aki, turning the volume all the way up.

Naruto didn't care what that item was, he was gonna beat her!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^..^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aki was bobbing her head to Euro- pop, sometimes slipping a dance move or two in there. She sensed Naruto's chakra moving towards her, but didn't open her eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^..^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ha! Her eyes were closed! Like she could defeat him while she's like that!

Everything was blurred in Naruto's eyes, except his target. He sped faster and faster, clenching his fist into a punch. Here goes--!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^..^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aki gracefully slid out of the way as Naruto went speeding...

...right into a tree.

Aki comically winced at the sound of the crash, even though her headphones were on.

"Oooooo! Did you hurt yourself?"

She was grinning as Naruto pulled himself from the impression he left in the tree.

"You're... using the...Kage Bushin No Jutsu?" he said, seeing six Akis.

"What the hell are you...oh!" said all six before realizing what was going on.

Naruto's vision had really just been screwed up by the crash, but he thought Aki was using his skill.

"Fine, then!"

"Uh- oh." said Aki, jumping into the trees.

"KAGE BUSHIN NO JUTSU!!!" shouted Naruto, and nine copies formed a circle around him.

"Not what you'd expect, eh?" shouted Naruto in a braggish voice.

No reply came. Without warning, something rolled out from the trees, struck him a scissors kick, and using his head as a stepping stone, hopped back into the trees. All of his clones leapt into the branches where the thing had flown off into.

The real Naruto was too focused on where his clones were that he didn't hear nor seeing the spinning staff zoom towards him.

WHACK!

The staff flew back up into the trees, leaving Naruto semi- paralyzed on the ground. All of his clones now scurried to where the staff had disappeared.

(I...I can't move!) Naruto's eyes were twitchingly wide open (What did she DO?!)

Through the corner of his eye, he saw one of his copies fall to the ground, a bleeding hole in his chest. He vanished on the spot. Seeing this made Naruto jump up in fear.

"Well, at least I can move again!" he said, forming the Ram sign. "That's it! You've really pissed me off now!"

"Kage Bushin no Jutsu!"

Now there were seventeen copies of him!

Hidden in the trees, Aki had watched Naruto beat himself up, with the exception of her staff.

Aki stared in surprise for a moment, but then grinned.

"All right." She surrendered, jumping from the cover of the trees with her hands up in the air, "You win. I give up."

(Ha! Knew I could beat her.) thought Naruto.

He didn't notice that Aki's hands were consumed by white fire. Naruto was wondering why Aki was still smirking.

"Fell right into it." She said, holding up her staff horizontally.

Naruto failed to act in time. He was too busy staring at what he couldn't believe he saw.

Aki's staff was hovering in mid air! She completed a session of quick hand seals, and her staff glowed white.

"Cancel!"

Instantly, the nine shadows of Naruto vanished in a poof of smoke.

(No way!)

Aki now showed her first new move. As she performed strange new hand seals, her staff turned clockwise 90 degrees.

"Witness my first, Naruto!"

"Huh?!"

"MIZU KATON KAITEN!"

"WHAT?!"

But Aki had already started her move. She and the staff started to spin in different directions, threads of water cocooning her body. Suddenly, a cyclone of water streams shot towards Naruto, each possessing the head of a dragon. He couldn't block the charging heads, and they were coming fast...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^..^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Naruto lay on the ground, not moving. Aki, on the other hand, was holding her head in her hands.

"Oooohhhhh. One minor setback." She said, her eyes swirly, "This move makes you really sick after awhile."

She slumped to the ground, trying not to throw up. Well, she didn't think it would be so easy, but then again, Naruto had been training nonstop all day. For some reason, she just remembered a phrase she always loved to use in her stories:

"If it's too good to be true, it isn't."

Well, maybe her gut was giving an alarm, because Naruto was standing up. And he looked pissed...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^..^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kaiyuga: * Puffing* Well, KakashiLvr is gone...for now.

KakashiLvr: This won't be the last time you'll see me! * Laughs maniacally* We will meet again!

* KakashiLvr runs off hysterically crying. Kaiyuga sighs and lifted up an unconscious Kakashi and puts him to bed.*

Kaiyuga: You are TOO much to handle! No more sugar for you!

Kaiyuga: *Looking at the readers and reviewers * Oh, ummm, yeah! Well, that's all for now! I gotta take care of Kakashi here for a bit, so you'll just have to be patient while I try to tweak up my security systems to keep HER out. Dioh!

(For those of you who don't speak/ understand Wasagian, it means: Bye, See ya, Later, So long, etc.!)
