Coolness, two reviews. PLEASE review if you are reading this.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, and I probably never will.

"Kakashi, what are we doing here?" Sakura asked, annoyed at her sensei.

"I forgot my book!" Kakashi whined like the little boy he was secretly inside.

The few ANBU fidgeted, eager to get the Akatsuki member and to get back Naruto.

Sakura groaned and walked in behind her sensei.

"Where is it? Where is it?" Sakura heard Kakashi mumble to himself.

"KAKASHI!" Sakura screamed her impatience.

"Found it!" Kakashi cried happily.

"Ok, good, let's GO!" Sakura cried, dragging her sensei out of his apartment.

XXX Kira knew she didn't fit in among the other dreaded Akatsuki members, but she still tried. Mostly, she practiced using her Sharingan. Pretty boring stuff, but she dealt with it.

One day Kira was heading toward the door to go practice with her newly acquired bow and arrows.

She hummed a tune she heard back in Konoha and reached for the handle.

Suddenly, the door flew off its hinges, crashing into Kira and knocking her back several feet. Blood poured out of her nose, which looked broken.

She crashed into the wall, breaking several more bones.

Kira groaned and went to go push the door off of her.

Suddenly, pressure was applied to the door as an ANBU bear put his foot on top of the door, crushing Kira even more.

She screamed out her pain and both Itachi and Kisame came skidding around the corner, coming from opposite directions. Being about seven in the morning, both fearsome Akatsuki members where in the process of getting ready.

Itachi was in his pajamas, which, in truth, weren't much different from his regular clothes, just minus the black cloak.

Kisame, on the other hand, had only a towel wrapped around his waist and had, apparently, been in the process of brushing his teeth.

Itachi's eyes narrowed at the scene before him. ANBU, Kakashi, and Sakura were barging into the home, looking for Naruto. His eyes turned from black to red and he looked over at the door on top of his little sister. He growled and ran to the bottom of the stairs, pulling out a kunai.

He tackled the ANBU on top of the door and slashed at his throat. After the bear was taken care of, Itachi ran over to his sister, pulling the door off of her.

"Kira…" he whispered to the unmoving form.

He stroked her cheek and forced her to sit upright. He pounded a fist on her back and she started coughing violently.

She spat up a lot of blood and Itachi's suspicion was confirmed. Kira was bleeding internally. There wasn't a lot of time left until she died.

Suddenly, a voice interrupted the family moment. "Itachi. Get up slowly and you won't die."

Itachi trembled.

Not with fear, but with rage and sorrow.

He stood up and turned around slowly. The pale hand on the kunai knife trembled, probably some in-experienced, newly appointed ANBU. When Itachi's eyes traveled upwards, he noticed that the person wielding the kunai was not even ANBU. A genin! On this type of mission? The sensei must be crazy! Itachi thought.

He shrugged and whipped out his on kunai, effortlessly blocking the girl's and disarming her. She cried out as her weapon left her possession.

Kakashi whipped his kunai at Itachi, which was also easily dodged.

"Kakashi, again we meet," came the whispered voice of Itachi in Kakashi's left ear.

Kakashi's eye widened and he went to go punch Itachi. Itachi ducked under it and tripped Kakashi. He then kicked him in the back, and Kakashi flew into the wall.

He remembered hitting the wall and watching Itachi walk over to the cowering Sakura. He called out a warning and then blacked out.

In a matter of minutes, the remaining ANBU, Sakura, and Kakashi were all knocked out. Kisame walked over to Itachi when Itachi looked up from attending Kira and promptly screamed, for Kisame had nothing on because his towel had slipped off during the fight.

The blue man looked down and flushed. He picked up his abandoned towel and walked upstairs to get dressed.

Kira stirred a bit and then coughed up more blood. Itachi turned back to the age-altered girl and picked her up, bridal style.

Itachi shouted upstairs, "I'm going out, so is Kira, and don't expect us back for awhile!"

Grunts and mumbled replies came. One reply was, "Don't have too much fun, Itachi, like you did with the last girl we had here!"

"Don't worry, Hachisa, I'll kill you later!" Itachi responded with a threat.

He heard a swear from upstairs and carried Kira out. He had to get to a hospital and QUICK.

He weighed his options while he jumped from tree branch to tree branch. He finally came upon a decision, as well as the entrance to Konoha. He transformed himself into a girl, about his own age and walked to the gates, calling out, "Please! I need admittance! My friend is very hurt!" Itachi also altered Kira's appearance, slightly, as well.

"State your name," came the guard's voice.

"Itsuki," the name was thought of on the spot.

"And your friend?" came the voice once again.

"Kiriko. Please, kind sir," Itachi's voice strained on that part, " she is very hurt and needs medical attention NOW!"

"Alright. Come in," the guard then gave them directions to the hospital.

When Itachi arrived, the medic-nins took Kira and immediately went into operation, no questions asked, because that was the oath they swore.

One of the operators came out of the room, closing the door behind him. He looked up and shook his head sadly…

Is Kira going to make it? Will Itachi's transformation and her and he wear off? What will happen when they see Team 7? Find out in the next chapter
