CHAPTER 3-THE ENEMY'S ALLY

Rikka saw that it was on of her allies. It was the bone-guy (disclaimer:i dont know his name). BG(bone-guy) exclaimed, "Heh. Looks like ur having trouble with these small shinobis Akatsuki. Shouldn't you be bringing the Kyuubi to our leader?"

Rikka giggled and replied, "I was until you showed up. It seems that our little friends here wants the Kyuubi brat."

BG laughed and turned to Sakura and Shikamaru. They got into position and so did BG. BG exclaimed, "You go ahead Rikka. I'll take care of them. Besides our leader wants you back and the Kyuubi brat safe and sound any way." Rikka grinned and replied, "Guess so. See ya then BG" Then she ran off.

Shikamaru smirked and whispered, "Sakura, you go ahead. I'll take care of this guy." "Are you sure?" asked Sakura.

Shikamaru nodded then Sakura ran off. BG almost stop her but Shikamaru exclaimed, "Hey! Your oppenent is me! Leave her alone or you'll face nothing like you ever seen before."

BG smirked and nodded. Rikka was at the plain where she saw Kimimaro fight and heard something behind her.

She looked in the corner of her eye and said, "Sakura. I never thought that you'll manage to catch up to me so fast."

Sakura was panting and she replied, "You traitor. Bring back Naruto!"

Rikka chuckled and replied, "Sorry but I can't do that. He decided to come to us on his own free will. It will be his decision to go back or stay with us."

Sakura was shocked. 'So he didn't go with them by force?' thought Sakura.

Then they started fighting. Back to Itachi, he had defeated Kiba and Ino the same with Kisame. Rikka yelled, "Katon:Goukakyuu no Jutsu!"

Sakura dodged it but part of her dress was burned. Sakura said, "Please let him return with us." Rikka sighed and replied, "Why? It's not like you care about him." 'She's right. I never did care about Naruto.' Sakura thought.

Then after a while the barrel was started to leak.
