Akanishi-san: Last chappie! YAAAAYYY! Thank you everyone for staying with me! And here is the LAST chapter!
Ch17
"Now." Neji yelled, and he leaped into the air, the Konoha Ninjas leaped after him.
Izaki's head turned to Neji. "Oh, so more fight." She smirked. She flexed her claws and was about to lounge at the near-by ninja, but vines suddenly sprang out of the lake, and grabbed at her. "What's this!" She yelled, trying to get free. More vines erupted from the water, dragging her down, pinning her to the surface of the water.
5 Ninjas had their hands into the tiger seal, concentrating. They held the vines. Right after the vines settled, 5 other Ninjas formed seals. "Suiton: tejyou no jutsu!" They yelled, and water gave shape and held her arms and legs firmly.
Izaki struggled in the vines and water, trying to get free. "You…" She started, but 5 other ninjas also made seals and the water covering her arms and legs turned into ice. Right after then, the 5 others made seals and the vines grew, covering her tighter.
Kakashi, Naruto, Lee and Gai all jumped to her, and held one arm or one leg. Sasuke and Itachi both stood facing each other and made seals, their sharingan blazing. They ended with a snake sign, and Izaki became semi-motinless.
Itachi winced when Izaki tried to move. "2 people using this justu on her, and she is still able to move." Itachi said, holding the snake sign still, as Sasuke is. "Neji, now! We will not be able to hold her long." He said, almost growling those words. It was so hard for him to talk and hold her down.
True to his words, the ice started to melt and crack, the vines started to rip. "I will not lose!" She growled, and started to pull on her trapping water and vines harder.
Itachi and Sasuke both faltered, trying to stay still, or not fall at least. Every time she made a move, it hurt the two Uchihas. "Urg…" Sasuke winced as Izaki tried to move once more.
Izaki's red yes blazed at them, and soon as she was about to give one more tug, her necklace, the one her mother wore, started to glow.
((Remember that necklace Sasuke gave her? That one her, Sasuke's and Itachi's mom used to wear? Yes, that one.))
"Mother…" Sasuke mumbled, the necklace glowing with brilliant lights, and to Sasuke and Itachi's relief, Izaki seemed more trapped, and was now unable to move.
"Now!" Itachi ordered Neji. "Hurry!"
Neji nodded hastily, and started his seals.
'Boar, horse, dog, snake, rat, rabbit, mouse, sheep, dragon' He took a breath after that, and made the other seals he remembered from Itachi. The unknown seals. When he was done with that, he glanced at Izaki. She had calmed a little, it looked like. She was not trying to free herself, but looked like she was having a mental battle. Neji sighed in a small relief, and added rabbit, horse, dragon, and snake. Izaki now was motionless. Neji smiled triumphantly as he made the last unknown seal, the last piece to the puzzle.
The gust of wind surrounded Izaki, and the vines, ice, and the 4 Konoha Ninjas who were holding her was blown backwards. Itachi and Sasuke were staggering backwards, wincing in pain. The wind kept roaring, covering her from the Konoha Ninjas and one missing-nin who watched carefully.
When the wind looked like it was going to slow down, light grew from the core of the wind, growing bright. The ninjas shaded their eyes with their hand, and studied the wind.
The light died fast, and the wind also slowed down. Slowly, the wind slowed, too slow to Neji, who watched anxiously. "Izaki…" He whispered. 'Please be okay…' He thought hard.
Itachi was sitting on the lake, looking worn out. Sasuke was also sitting, looking just like Itachi. The other Konoha Ninjas were either standing, or sitting. They were also worn out. Mostly from the nightmare they had, but from the effort to keep her still as well.
When the wind died, Izaki was floating a foot above the lake water. She had the red wolf ears and tail still on her, with the claws as well, but looked nothing like who she was before, a killer. "Izaki?" Neji asked, looking at her. The wolf's body was slowly sinking into the water. It was motionless. One of the Konoha Ninjas hesitated, but dived and came up with the wolf's motionless body.
Izaki, however still floated, her eyes closed. She seemed to be sleeping. In a flash, the invisible hand that was holding her was gone. She was dumped into the water to everyone's horror.
"IZAKI!" Sasuke and Itachi yelled at the same time.
Without hesitating, Neji dived, and got Izaki. She looked motionless. When he surfaced, he brought his ear to her chest, making sure she was alive. Sure enough, her heart was pounding. She was just sleeping. Neji sighed in relief, and smiled at the others who looked worried at him.
"Izaki-chan!" Naruto yelled as soon as he saw Neji smile. "Thank god you are all right!" He yelled, and was about to fling himself to her, but Kakashi grabbed his back collar.
"She won't be okay if you hug her to death." Kakashi said, also smiling in relief. He was glad that she was all right. He didn't want to let Obito down.
The other Konoha Ninjas all sighed in relief, all slumping onto their backs. "I am not going to go against any demon related person ever again." One of them muttered, to which most murmured an agreement.
"I will demand a break when I get back." One of them added. "I refuse to go on another mission for a week. Even months." The others nodded once more in agreement.
Gai and Lee chuckled. "Well, at least Akatsuki won't be on any of the mission for a while. I think the remaining ones will think twice about attacking us ever again." He said.
Lee looked at Izaki who was sleeping in Neji's arms, her wolf tail swinging. "She defeated them with Gourikisenpuu!" he said with a smile. "Taijutsu is the best!" He said as he punched the air with his tired arm.
Sasuke looked at his sister, frowning. "Is she going to be like that?" He asked his older brother who was smiling weakly at Izaki.
The others hushed and turned their heads towards Itachi. Itachi turned his head towards Sasuke and nodded. "Unfortunately, yes." He said. "Unless she would somehow control her powers with it."
This time Naruto punched the air. "I'll teach her!" He said. "I know how to control mine, and it'll be a snap!" He said, grinning.
Itachi thought on that for a while and nodded. "Actually, that's a great idea." He said, hitting himself for not knowing this earlier. How come he hadn't thought of that?
Naruto grinned. "All right!" He said, punching the air once more.
Neji shifted nervously. "Could we get back to Konoha?" He asked. "I want her to have a proper rest." He looked at Izaki.
The others got to their feet. "All right, let's go." Kakashi said, also getting to his feet.
Itachi walked over to Izaki. "Well, tell her I will contact her later." He told Neji as he brushed a hand onto her forehead. Itachi looked gloomily at Izaki. He did not want to be separated, but he knew she needed a proper rest, fast.
Neji frowned. "Why don't you just come with us?" He asked after a moment had passed.
Itachi frowned as well. "Do you think I will be allowed to enter the village?" He asked sarcastically. "Yes, let's go and tell them I will not kill anyone, I am just worried about my sister."
Naruto came up to him. "Why not?" He asked, confused. "You are her brother, right?" He asked. "Then you have all the rights to watch her. Besides, you did help us."
Itachi looked at Naruto confusingly. Kakashi came towards them. "Well, I'm sure the Hokage will allow you to come." He said. "Because," He held out a paper in front of him. "She told me that if you wish, you may come back to Konoha. Of course, with ANBU trailing you all the time. Also, if you behave for a year, you will be taken off the list of missing-nin, and will be able to live in Konoha. With them." He jerked a thumb at Izaki then to Sasuke.
The other Konoha ninjas all nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it was you who got the seals for us, and helped us. If you weren't there, we probably couldn't get her stay still even if we knew how to get her apart."
One of the ninjas stepped foreword. "If anyone is going to complain, they can come to me." He said, thumping his fist onto his chest. "I guess I learned something today." He shrugged. "You aren't that bad at all."
Itachi smiled weakly. "I can't believe this." He muttered. "You guys are stupid…"
"We were told about every dream you showed Neji." One of them said. "About the Uchiha clan's death as well."
Itachi flinched. He turned to Sasuke. "I…" He started.
Sasuke shrugged. "What ever." He said and looked away.
Itachi's eyes widened. "Sasuke…" He started, but Kakashi's hand rested onto Itachi's shoulder.
Kakashi shook his head. "That's the only way he'll say that he is sorry for thinking it was you who killed everyone. You won't get any other nicer apology from him." He chuckled.
Sasuke blushed. "Hey! I wasn't apologizing!" He growled.
The group laughed. Kakashi smiled. "All right, let's go." He said.
Everyone nodded. Itachi turned to Neji. "I will hold her." He said, stretching his arms towards him. Neji nodded. His arms were dead tired from everything that happened. Soon as Itachi took her, they were off, back to Konoha. Back to safety.
