Akanishi-san: Well, here is ch11! It was hard to figure out if I should let Izaki go or not. Well, you'll find out my last decision at the end of this chapter
Ch11
He knew from when he first met her. He had felt something from her. When he said those hurtful words, it hurt Izaki, but it hurt him as well. He was mad at himself afterwards, but he couldn't tell why. When he met her at the river, he again, felt something. When she turned from him, he wanted her to forgive him. She did.
But all he could do was do simple things, while the others did loads of things for her. He wanted to do caring things for her as well, to show that he cared, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. She was an Akatsuki member. He used that excuse over and over, before he realized that he loved her. He didn't know then, that he loved her. But now there was no turning back. He realized his feelings, and he would make it go through. He loved her. And that was final.
Neji growled at Itachi, who was in his way. Before he could make his move, Tsunade threw a kick that was meant to get Itachi, but he avoided the kick in a flash. Tsunade cursed as she saw how fast he was. She had heard of how skilled he was, but didn't really know until she saw. "Neji!" She said to him, with her ordering voice. "Let Kakashi and I handle this. Go to the hospital immediately, stop the wolf!" She said, throwing another punch. "NOW!"
It was good that she was already attacking her enemy before Neji could reply, for he wasn't going to reply, anyway. Neji glanced back once more as he saw Kakashi and Tsunade try to attack Itachi as he slipped away from the room.
Itachi grinned at the two ninjas in front of him. "Mangetsu probably got her already. There is no problem with him getting away." He said, meaning Neji.
"So you say!" Tsunade growled as she threw a punch, which she missed. "But wait until you see!"
Kakashi was forming hand seals, to make Raikiri. (Chidori) Itachi turned to him. "So you are the one who taught my worthless brother the technique to." He said simply. "Simply worthless. That won't even leave a scratch on me."
"Worthless you say now, but that worthless might be the key into saving Izaki right now!" Kakashi snarled as he tried to hit Itachi with his attack. "Sasuke and Naruto are with Izaki right now, and Neji is on his way!" He tried for it once more, to fail. Itachi turned his head to Tsunade, his eyes on hers. He knew that she didn't have the Sharingan Kakashi had. It would be easy to get rid of her. Before he could use his mangekyou sharingan, Kakashi was standing in front of him, blocking his way to Tsunade.
"Don't look at his eyes!" Kakashi warned, but with his sharingan eye, he looked at him dangerously.
Itachi said nothing as he jumped backwards from Tsunade's another attack. She had jumped over Kakashi. "Thanks!" She yelled back to Kakashi as she threw another punch.
Kakashi shook his head to clear his head. He didn't look directly into his eyes, but he had felt its power. He then turned his focus back to Itachi, attacking once more as he gave a war cry.
Neji
As Neji got close to the hospital, he saw to his horror the window in Izaki's room shatter. But the odd thing was, 2 black blur went into the room. Was it someone on his side…or someone from Akatsuki? Neji growled, jumping into the room where he saw the 2 blur go into. But before he could do anything or look around, darkness enveloped him.
Before he feinted, he muttered a word. "Izaki…"
Itachi's Fight
Things were going bad for the 2 ninjas fighting Itachi. Kakashi groaned as he tried to stand, he was on the ground, from the damages he earned. Tsunade was caught by Itachi's eyes, unable to move. Before he could activate his sharingan however, footsteps were heard behind him. "Took your time…" Itachi said, as he released Tsunade, who fell onto her knees, trying to clear her head. He turned, and saw 2 Akatsuki members, one holding the unconscious Izaki and Sasuke, the other holding Neji and Naruto, who were also unconscious. The red wolf stood behind them, its blazing eyes on Sasuke. The wolf had a gash running down its cheek, blood freely dripping.
"Sorry Itachi, these fought back." He said, as he looked at Sasuke and Naruto. "But it was taken care of in a flash, mind you." He said. "This came soon as we went in, and before he could do anything, we took care of him as well." He shrugged as he looked at Neji. "Mangetsu seemed to be having trouble as well; he got that nice pretty cut from your dear brother." He sneered as the wolf barred its fangs at him.
The other sneered and tossed Izaki over to Itachi. Izaki moaned from hurt she had earned. Izaki had numerous cuts, but they were not fatal compared to the other ninjas that were trying to protect her. "Just like you said, we tried not hurting her. But she fought back too, so we couldn't help it." He shrugged.
Itachi put his hand onto her hair, pulling her hair up until she looked into his eyes. "Hello, Izaki. You gave us a fright when we saw that you have left." He said to her. "I can't believe you ran away."
Izaki's eyes narrowed. "Let go of my friends." She snarled at him, her eyes blazing. "I said, let go of them!" She said again, meaning to the Akatsuki members behind her, holding the 3.
The other two Akatsuki members shrugged and threw the hurt Sasuke and Neji next to Tsunade and Kakashi. The man carrying Naruto still had Naruto in one arm. Itachi looked at Izaki. "Well, I see that you remember who you are." He said to her. "It would have been less bothersome if you didn't remember until we got back to headquarters."
Izaki didn't look away from his eyes that were threatening her. She also had her sharingan activated, looking right back at him. "Mangetsu helped me." She growled. "Regained memories I didn't want!" She winced as Itachi pulled her up more, half of her body only lifted from the ground from support of her hair gripped in Itachi's hand.
"Let…go…of her…" Sasuke said, as he slowly stood up, wincing in pain. "You…have no right…to take anymore from…me…" His eyes blood red, he looked into his brother's eyes.
Neji groaned as his body insisted on staying down, but also stood up. His byakugan eyes were also looking at Itachi. Kakashi and Tsunade also stood up, groaning in pain.
Then 2 Akatsuki members looked at Itachi's brother, then to Izaki. "Usually by now Izaki, you would be asking for forgiveness, but I guess this place changed you. This change might be useful to us." One of them said to her. "You should thank the Konoha village, by making it the first village to get destroyed by your hands." He chuckled.
Izaki looked at the man. "Never." She said to him. "I will NOT merge with the wolf!" She snarled. "And you made sure that I would like the wolf!" She accused Itachi. "You knew I feared the wolf! And I called you pretty!" She snarled at the wolf which smiled in its own way at her, its eyes gleaming at her with full of hate.
Itachi only picked her up higher and bound her arms behind her, so she could not get away. "Then, you'll have to think on your final decision." He said, and nodded to the 2 Akatsuki members behind him.
The two Akatsuki members smirked. The one holding Naruto dropped him next to Mangetsu, the wolf's fur bristling as Naruto was laid next to him. Then, the two vanished in a blur, and reappeared in front of the Konoha Ninjas.
In a flash, Tsunade and Kakashi were again thrown across the room, hitting their back into the wall behind them. They groaned in pain as they tried to stand back up, to fight back, but found that they couldn't. There weren't so much strength left in them. Next, the targets were Neji and Sasuke. The two Akatsuki members jumped in front of either Sasuke or Neji, and grabbed them by their neck, lifting them until they were off the ground.
Sasuke choked as he fought to breathe, but it was hard, with a tight grip on his neck, preventing air and strength to pull away. Neji also was chocking, but he was trying to fight back. He saw Izaki's eyes fill with tears and look away, but Itachi made her turn to look once more.
"They are suffering because of your stubbornness…" Itachi said to her with a taunting smile. "Because of your action, they are suffering. It's all, your, fault." He whispered into her ear.
Izaki's eyes kept the water coming out, sobbing as she watched the two fighting to breath. She opened her mouth. "I'll do it!" She said, looking at Neji, who was trying to get away, and to Sasuke, who was wincing in pain, also trying to free the hand that was holding him. "Let go of them!" She ordered.
The two Akatsuki members turned to her and sighed. "When it was going to be fun." One of them muttered as they both let go.
The two ninjas choked and breathed hard as they landed onto the ground. "No Izaki!" Sasuke said, looking at her. Itachi had let go of her, and she was standing there, looking at the ground, tears silently dropping onto the ground.
Neji was also staring at Izaki. "Izaki, you don't have to obey them!" He yelled at her, breathing heavily.
Izaki shook her head. "I…don't want to see you suffer…Any of you." She muttered. She then turned from them and walked over to the wolf. "Itachi-Oniichan…I will not destroy Konoha, even if it means to kill myself." She said. "But I will obey and come back." She said with almost failing voice, tears visibly falling from her eyes. "Also…you will have enough time for him as well…" She said, meaning Naruto. "You do not need him this instant. You have me."
Itachi looked hesitant, but said, "You will come back and merge with it?" He asked her. Izaki nodded. Itachi turned to the Konoha ninjas. "Your life has been spared." He said to them.
"Izaki!" Sasuke yelled, trying to fight the people who were taking her away, but he could not even stand. "Don't!" all he could do, was to speak.
Kakashi and Tsunade also tried to stand, but they were still unable to. Tsunade groaned as she tried to release her jutsu she had, but found that she didn't even have the strength to even move her fingers. Her voice was also dead.
Kakashi also tried at least to summon his dogs, at least to buy time. But he too, could not even more his fingers. 'I can't even protect her…Obito…I'm sorry…'
Neji only stared at her. What could he do? He asked himself. 'I'm useless…' He kicked himself inwardly. 'I can't even protect a girl…that I love…' He looked at her with his eyes that showed that he truly didn't want her to leave.
Izaki still had her backs to them, looking at the wolf. The wolf also stared back, its fur bristling. Izaki silently crouched, her hand resting on Naruto, who was wounded next to the wolf. "I'm sorry…" She muttered to him, as her hands glowed and started to heal the injuries he had. He had the worst injuries, most likely, he had fought back with all he could, not that Sasuke didn't, but he had gotten himself wounded a lot.
She then silently stood up once more, and walked over to Tsunade. The Akatsuki members did no object to any of her action as she healed her as well. Tsunade said nothing as Izaki healed her and when that was done, walked over to Kakashi.
Kakashi also could not find his words. "Izaki…" He was able to say her name as she healed him. "Don't…" His voice didn't let him speak any more.
Izaki looked at him with a smile that was forced. "Thanks for everything." She said to him. "Please tell everyone else that I said good bye, and thanks." She said, and again, turned her back to him when she was done healing and walked over to Sasuke.
Sasuke had his mouth open, horrified at what was going on. "Izaki!" He said to her, as she reached him.
"Sasuke-Oniichan…" She said, as she dropped down kneeling as she healed him. "I'm sorry for everything this caused you. I was happy to be with you all this time, Oniichan. Thanks for everything." She said and threw her arms around him. "Thank you." She said again, and let go. Sasuke only stared, horror still stuck in his throat, unable to talk.
With one more smile, she stood up and walked over to Neji. Neji also was confused with the entire vent, only could stare. Izaki smiled again, forcing it up. "Well Huuga-san, I guess you were right. I am a spy after all…An enemy to your village." She said, shrugging as she kneeled and healed him. "Everyone was right, I am a spy after all…" Tears were about to come out. She didn't want Neji to think of her that way. She only wanted Neji to know her in positive ways.
Neji stared couple more seconds, looking at her healing him. He then, found his voice. "No you aren't." He said flatly. "You are not one of them. You are currently saving the Village of Konoha." He said to her. "But you could also do that by not going over there!" He said to her.
Izaki force smiled again. "Thanks for thinking of this that way. But…I have to go. You guys won't be able to go against 3 members at once." She said, as a single tear fell. "Thank you, again." She said, and just as she was about to get up, Neji gripped her wrist, pulling her back down.
As Izaki was pulled down, he brought her to a hug. "Don't!" He said, trying to keep her from going. Izaki said nothing as she hugged him back, tears falling. After a moment, he released her, and looked into her watering eyes. "Don't go." He said almost in a whisper. "I…I…"
Izaki whipped her tears away, and kissed him on the cheek. "I still didn't thank you for calling me Izaki instead of Uchiha" She smiled. In an almost fading voice that could only be heard to Neji, she continued, "I…I always liked you, Hyuuga-san. Maybe in a way you might not like." She smiled at the bewildered Neji as she stood up. She glanced at the others once more, her smile almost fading.
She turned and walked over to Itachi. Itachi watched all of this with interest, especially when she was healing Neji. He and everyone else did not hear what she said to Neji, for she almost whispered it, but he had an idea of what she said. "Done?" He asked her.
Izaki nodded as she stood in front of him, her back facing her Konoha friends. "Yes." She muttered, tears falling. "I am."
Itachi nodded to the other 2 Akatsuki members and to the wolf, and with a puff of smoke, all of them, including Izaki, was gone.
Gone.
