Untamed Emotions

Robin rubbed her arm, looking at Itachi. He sat in a chair in front of a huge table, covered with scrolls. Robin was leaning against a cold stone wall.

". . . . who will be my new partner?" Itachi did not bother looking up from the scroll her was reading to answer her.

"It has been decided that you need an experienced and powerful partner to push you beyond your limits. I have been chosen."

"What of Kisame?"

". . . . he and his sword are needed elsewhere." Robin pushed herself off of the wall and moved over to Itachi, peering over his shoulder. "Yes?" Robin wrapped her arms around him and pressed her face his back.

". . . . how long . . . . ."

"How long till what?"

". . . . till I have my revenge? Till I cause him so much pain?" Itachi was silent, staring down at the scrolls. He reached up and grabbed Robin's arm. With ease he pulled her in front of him and made her sit on his lap.

"Why do you care so much about your revenge?"

"He made me weak. I cannot accept that." Itachi was silent for a moment, contemplating what she said before he spoke and pulled forward a large scroll and pointed to it.

"This scroll tells us when his seal will be its weakest. That date here . . ." He pointed to freshly written numbers. " . . . is when the seal will be at its weakest. Three days before that, we need to retrieve Gaara." Robin smiled wickedly.

"That's in five days. It will take only two days to reach him if we start out tomorrow."

"Exactly. So I suggest you rest and prepare." Robin nodded and left the room, clenching her fist with a cruel smirk. She raised her fist up and looked at it with a dangerous look in her eyes.

"In three days I will finally destroy the Hidden Sand, Gaara-kun."

"Kakashi . . . Setsuko . . ." Tsunade sighed wearily. "I'm sorry."

". . . . I lost the baby?" Kakashi held his wife's hand as she stared down at her stomach while holding it with one hand.

". . . . Hai."

". . . . are you sure?" Setsuko asked tentatively.

"Hai." Setsuko was silent for a moment, thinking over the information she just received before speaking again. "Setsuko . . . you'll be given time off for this."

"Iie. Tsunade-sama . . . . I wish to be put on active duty once I leave here. I also wish to be given the chance to find Uzumaki Robin." Tsunade sighed and was silent for a moment, trying to find the right words to say to Setsuko.

". . . . Setsuko . . . . I know that you got attached the baby quickly. You need a rest. Your request has been denied. However, if we find out where the organization Akatsuki is located then I will move you back into active duty. But until that time, you will be on leave." Kakashi held his wife's hand and looked at the Hokage.

"When can she leave?"

"Once her fever goes down she can leave." Setsuko nodded. Tsunade left, giving to the two privacy. Kakashi kissed Setsuko on the cheek and brushed some hair away from her face.

"Setsuko, get some rest. I'll be here." Setsuko nodded and leaned back into her pillow, falling into a deep sleep, refusing to let tears fall.

Setsuko sighed heavily as she kicked a log, breaking it.

"Setsuko." She turned to see Kakashi. "You shouldn't be training." She turned back to the broken log and stared at it before moving over to a tree. She slammed her fist into it, shattering the bark. Blood trickled down her hand as she pulled it out from the tree. She watched as the blood splatter onto the ground. She felt herself being pulled back into a tight embrace. Kakashi held her as she reached up and held his arm.

". . . . it hurts . . . ."

"I know."

"Make the pain go away." She turned and faced him. He held her tightly in the hug, burying his face into her hair.

"Setsuko . . . . ."

"Please . . . . it hurts so much . . . . . ."

". . . . . don't do this to yourself Setsuko. I can't watch you like this." Setsuko closed her eyes and fought back tears. She had given enough tears to the dead. She would not do it any more. She just let herself sink into Kakashi's embrace as sleep began to overtake her. Her mind was too worn out from the trauma of fighting her cousin and losing the baby that was one of the few positive things she had done with her life.

Robin landed without making a sound and looked over at Itachi as he jumped down from a rock. A desert stretched as far as the eye could see. Robin shifted under her black cloak as she stared at the other Akatsuki member.

"It's been two days. I say we fly now." Itachi was silent before giving a slight nod. Robin bit down on her thumb, drawing blood. Her hands went through a set of seals before she shoved her palms onto the sand. Smoke rose up, blocking her from view. After a minute the smoke cleared and Robin stood upon a large bird. Itachi stepped onto the bird and sat down as the bird flapped its large wings to help it lift up into the air. Itachi pulled Robin down beside him and pulled her close to him.

Gaara was silent as he stared out the window. He turned to leave but paused. A large bird was in he sky. Gaara narrowed his eyes. Before he could do anything balls of fire were hurled down at his village. He jumped out his window, landing quietly onto the ground and ran towards the bird as he began to gather sand.
"So who fights him?" Robin looked at Itachi as he used a katon jutsu to rain fire upon the village.

"You." It was the only response she got. Robin nodded and peered down at the Hidden Sand.

"THERE!" She jumped off the bird the second she spotted Gaara. While falling to the ground she removed her cloak and hat, replacing the woven hat with her leather one. With ease she summoned her naginata to her and landed in a slight crouch. She shot off, twirling her naginata, towards Gaara. He barely had time to bring up his sand to defend himself against the blade of her weapon. Robin smirked at him before jumping away from him.

"Robin!" Gaara hissed, his anger boiling. Robin twirled her naginata once more before dropping down into a deep stance with her smirk remaining.

"Temper, temper, Gaara-kun. You shouldn't lose control." She dashed forward, kicking her leg out to sweep him off his feet. Gaara flipped back from her, only to jump to the side and duck under her naginata. He sent his sand barreling towards her but Robin jumped above the sand and brought her naginata down towards Gaara. The Kazekage jumped back, avoiding the deadly blow.

"Control yourself. We need him alive." Itachi muttered as he landed beside her. Robin narrowed her eyes, never taking them off Gaara.

"Just keep away reinforcements." She charged forward again, slamming her naginata into the ground and using it to lift herself up and plant her feet in his chest. Gaara was sent flying back, coughing up some blood. Robin wasted no time and yanking out her naginata and attacking him again. Gaara managed to land on his feet but this time she caused a thin trail of blood on his cheek as she made another swipe that he was barely able to dodge. Robin surprised Gaara when she appeared in front of him and used her elbow to strike him across the face, knocking him down. She used her naginata to cut in half the sand that had darted towards her. "Fight me Gaara. Stop holding back." Sand was pulled out from under her feet, causing her to stumble and a blast of sand hit her square in the chest, sending her flying back. She was up on her feet and wiped away a trickle of blood from her mouth. She barely had time to jump to the side to avoid a wave of sand. Robin felt her eyes widen when she felt the sand curl around her ankle and grab hold of her. The sand lifted her up in the air and slammed her down into the ground. Robin slashed through the sand before it had a chance to repeat its actions.

"Why?" Gaara demanded harshly as he spat out blood. Robin stared at him before closing her eyes.

"Because. . . " She opened her green eyes, sending him a sharp glare. ". . . you love the Hidden Sand more than you could ever love me." She appeared in front of him once more, kicking him, causing Gaara to fly back once more. Once more Gaara flipped in the air and managed to land on his feet. "I'm selfish Gaara. I could never have stopped you from leaving the Leaf for the Sand." Once more Gaara was surprised as she appeared in above of him, kicking him in the head. Gaara hit the side of a building from the force of her kick. "I gave you my heart and you stomped on it." Robin disappeared in a blur and reappeared in front of Gaara. She grabbed him by the hand the slung him around, throwing him into the side of the building once more, this time leaving cracks in the wall. Robin turned and slashed the sand aimed for her head in half. "Because I could never compete with the Hidden Sand. Even after all they did to you, you still loved them more than me." Robin narrowed her eyes as she looked at him. "So I joined the Akatsuki to destroy the Hidden Sand, just like you destroyed me." Robin blocked a punch aimed for her head. She smirked as she blocked another punch. "Good. Defend this wasteland. Show me why I was left behind. Show me how much you hate me!" Robin flipped back, stopping Gaara from kicking her feet out from under her. She moved from side to side, dodgin his kicks and punches along with his sand. Robin brought her knee up, blocking a kick to her stomach. However, she wasn't prepared to stop the fist to her face, knocking her back a few steps and causing blood to trickle out of her nose.

"You betrayed the Leaf. You betrayed the Uzumaki clan. You've betrayed everything you believed. You betray me." Robin narrowed her eyes and blocked a punch, retaliating with one of her own. She hit Gaara square in the face, causing his sand armor to crack.

"Betrayal? I betrayed no one. They betrayed me. They all left me. Even you." She jumped away from Gaara and dodged a wave of sand. "I grew up to be the perfect weapon. I was raised to be an emotionless, killing machine. I am loyal to no one." Robin moved her hands through handseals and a dark ball appeared before her. She gripped it tightly and watched as a creature from the depths of her mind came formed and attacked Gaara. Gaara used his sand and easily smashed the creature. Robin smirked and spread her arms apart. "Gaara! Come, fight me as a demon! Give it your all and I won't crush the city." Soon strange markings were all over her body as Robin closed her eyes. Gaara rush forward, intent on stopping from finishing her jutsu. However, a wall of fire constructed itself around Robin. Itachi smirked as his fire protected Robin. "Spirit within me, I call to you! Your time to roam this world has come once again. You must fulfill your contract! Let my hate be yours, let me happiness be yours, let my life be yours. Let this body take on your great power. Fulfill your contract with Uzumaki Robin, Lamia Deus!" Smoke rose up from the ground as Robin began to hold her throat while she coughed. Out of the smoke burst a woman in her mid twenties. Her long bright red hair had stood up as it took the shape of wings. There was the strange eye design on her forehead and heart along with her palms and parts of her arms. Some other strange markings were on her skin in certain areas, such as her chest or on her neck leading up to some on her face. Her colorless skin made her black lips stand out, along with her black eyeshadow. Two new eyes stared out of her face. Thick rings of purple were around her bright yellow eyes. A thin circle of black was around each of her small pupils. She wore a dark green, almost black, corset that was over a off the shoulder long sleeve shirt that was see through. Her black pants clung to her body along with her black combat boots. Several golden belts were around her waist. The woman flew up into the air and smirked down at Gaara.

"Lamia Deus." He hissed, remembering all too well the vampire god's power.

"Gaara-kun," The new voice seemed sweet as she smirked at him. "You, of all people, should know that I have total control over this form now." Gaara gather sand around him, wasting no time in transforming himself. "Aww, what a cute badger!" Lamia Deus taunted him as she flapped her wings and flew high into the air. The 'badger' leapt high into the air landing far away form the village. Lamia Deus pouted slightly, seeing his plan to lead her away from the village.

"Follow him." She looked down at Itachi before taking off after Gaara. With ease she caught up with Gaara and smiled cruelly.
