A/N-I am firm in the belief that I will be requiring a bomb shelter at the end of this chapter…mostly because of events that occur in this chapter plus my Announcement-

I must take another Week Long Hiatus. After today's update…. I won't be able to do so until next Friday. Kingdom Bound '06 calls. Gomen Nasai…

Thanks to those who reviewed the last chapter Kyiri Makrono, ShadowPrincess-Shekailaia, Supershark1, Loku, Loki Zentra, and Duckichan87.

Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto or 'Bring me to Life' by Evanesance which is also mentioned in this chapter.

Chapter 40

She looked into her peripheral vision and watched the dust being kicked up from the erratic spinning of the wheels. Quickly she slammed on the brakes, causing the car to go full 360 so that she faced the way she had just come.

So much for Kakashi's theory that she was out of practice. For driving that is.

Seyann took her hands temporarily off the wheel and tightened her driving gloves. Pulling her hair back out of her face she felt a thrill run through her veins from the adrenaline of driving. 'I should've' she thought idly 'been a racecar driver.'

There was a good reason that Mika and Michelle had refused to go driving with her, even when they were younger. She casually threw the car into park and revved the engine, wanting to show off for…well nobody considering she was all alone in this old stretch of road. It had been two weeks since Neji and Michelle had gotten married and about a week and a half since Kenji had been born.

After this event, Kakashi had given the three women and the children (who had been sent to live with Sey, Mika and Michelle for protection) instructions that they were never to go off on their own, under any circumstances. As a direct order from the Hokage they had to listen. Good thing for Seyann, however, that Kakashi was her husband…. orders from the Hokage didn't apply to her.

As Sey threw the car back into drive with a thoughtless gesture and heard the intro for a song she hadn't heard in 6 years starting on the radio- 'Bring me to Life' by Evanesance. As the piano notes floated over her ears, she reached over for the volume and twisted the volume to the highest tolerable setting. As she went drove back up the road, kicking up dust, drumming on the wheel and singing as she went she had no idea how imminent danger actually was.

Until another voice went off next to her ear, saying in a light whisper "Bring me to life…" in the exact timing of the song.

Seyann jumped in shock and horror, the wheel spinning under her loose grip, causing her to lose control of the car but only for a brief instant. She slammed on the brakes and turned into the skid as she had learned in driving school. Her car pulled another 360 only this time she came perilously close to skidding into the ditch. As the car came to a stop, she felt a cold blade press against her throat. She glanced sharply into the rearview mirrors. Meeting the red gaze of the Sharingan, she took in a breath. "Itachi." She said quietly, almost in a snarl.

"I'm flattered you recognize me Lady Seyann." He said with a smirk on his face. He was wearing, not his Akatsuki cloak but rather clothes that would make him blend in with this world-a black band t-shirt from a concert and a pair of faded blue jeans. His long black hair was pulled back into a loose ponytail.

"How the hell would I not recognize you teme?" she spat. "You kidnapped my daughter right in front of me." Her eyes glowed Neko.

"Not so fast Celina." He said, pressuring her jugular with the kunai. "You stay in there or I kill her." Seyann bit back a yelp as the blade cut her throat. "You can't kill me."

"Praytell why not Lady Sey?" said Itachi in a false questioning voice. "You've tempted me…out here in the middle of nowhere, no defense…" he reached forward and pulled one of her bangs out of her face. She shuddered and flinched under his touch causing him to smirk widely. She had kept her hands on the wheel, clutching it so hard that her knuckles were turning white.

She wouldn't dignify him with an answer. Instead she shifted around with her feet near the pedals, until she found it.

Kakashi had obviously learned by now what a rebellious streak his wife contained. As such, earlier when she was getting used to the car she had found an extra pedal, one he had had installed. And she had a pretty good idea what it was for.

She stomped it. Hard. And was rewarded with the satisfying sound of ripping upholstery and kunai's cutting into flesh. The kunai that had been at her neck dropped harmlessly into her lap and she snapped it up, undid her seatbelt and whirled around.

Itachi was gone. In his place was a log that had been stuck from the underside with numerous kunai that had been hidden in the seat.

She started to shake. Hard. Taking the gearshift in her hand she shifted it into drive, spun on a dime, and sped home…she had to get to the portal. She went as fast as her car could go.


He heard the tires squeal as she pulled into the drive. He put the finishing touches on the Jutsu and melted into the bushes to watch his evil plan come to fruition.
A ripple of chakra passed through her body and continued on through the house. She looked up from her novel abruptly, strands of black hair falling in her eyes, but before she could identify it, the chakra pattern had disappeared.
She threw the car into park and shut it off in one fluid movement. Throwing open her door, she stepped out quickly, trying to avoid looking at the mess in the back seat. Slamming the car door, she barreled up the stairs and into the house, dirty blonde hair streaming behind her.

As soon as she got into the hallway, she yelled at the top of her lungs "Mika! Michelle!" When no one responded she tried to recall where everyone was supposed to be today. Michelle had taken the children and had gone out for the day…

Mika should still be there. She started to panic when she called again and no one responded to her summons. 'I have to get Kakashi' was all she thought as she barreled down the stairs to the mirror.

Two ANBU flanked the mirror, acting as guards. Someone plunging through the mirror at top speed caused them to react as one. "Lady Seyann!" Exclaimed one, helping her to her feet gently. He took in her neck and saw the thin slice on her neck. "Are you okay? He asked urgently. "For now…just scared…where is the Hokage?" she took a breath. "Where is my husband?"

They glanced at each other, expressions unreadable behind their porcelain masks.

"In his office but…" Seyann had already started for the door. "But what?" she asked, barely pausing. "But he doesn't want to be disturbed."

Seyann turned back, orange annoyance in her eyes.

"Not even by his wife?" she demanded angrily. "Not even by the mother of his daughter, the woman pregnant with his next child? The one he loves? Hold your tounge." The ANBU bowed his head and said "Yes Milady."

Turning back to the door she smirked. It wasn't often she used her power as the Hokage's wife.

Her feet pounded on the stairs as she went down, wanting nothing more than to get to the comforting arms of her husband. Finally reaching his office, she swung the door open and began talking. "Kakashi he was there…in the other world…Ita-" Then she looked up.


"Yes….I don't know what's wrong….She just barreled into the house almost like she didn't see me….Yes I think he might be behind it but…how did he get here? Come home…. Something's not right…this was about an hour ago…ok, see you soon."
Flames danced in her eyes, eyes wide open. She felt nothing except the feeling of her broken heart. Other than that…she had gone completely numb…

She couldn't even hate the girl that was all over her husband…anger hadn't sunk in yet. Her husband was looking at her in horror. "S..Sey what are you doing here?"

Kakashi had his arms on either side of a smaller figure pinned to the wall.

She had her hands against Kakashi's bare chest. Her shirt was in the process of being extracted when Seyann had barged in and began to talk to her husband.

She had black hair and hazel eyes.

A/N- I think I'm going to gointo my bomb shelter now. If popular demand wants it, I'll try to find time to write tomorrow….key word...try. I don't think I will be able too. With this there isa one-shot in 'Pieces'. Enjoy!
