I sighed as I walked down the hall; the only thing I was carrying was a few kunai and a short katana. I wiped under my forehead protector, the thickness of the robe was magnifying the heat that seemed to be circulating through the dark halls. Then Kisa's door swung open and she walked out, the collar of her robe almost engulfing her fragile face. I walked over to her, the air seemed tense. I expected as much, after all I was hiding in her closet yesterday.

She didn't say anything just walked down the hall. I smirked and followed her; this should be an interesting mission. Oh that's right, your probably wondering what this mission is. Well it's to capture the kyuubi. That's right; I'm being forced to go back to Konoha for the third time. I don't really understand why I'm being forced to go, but I suppose I can't talk much since I'm the one who failed the mission the first two times.

Walking out the front door was great. That cold six-o'clock morning air rushing against your overheated body. Yeah that's the stuff. I looked over to see Kisa shiver and pull her robe closer. Then I did something that was not like me at all. I removed my cloak and draped it over her shoulders. I'd rather freeze my ass off then have her freeze hers off. I suppose it seemed weird for her but she still gladly accepted the cloak.

The morning fog stuck around for about three or four hours or so, then it lifted into a humid sunny day. Why it was sunny I really don't know. You think the weather would go with the situation, but it doesn't. We stopped to rest about half way from the village entrance. Well she insisted we did, she wasn't as quiet when she wanted something. We stayed for about two hours then headed to Konoha.

Walking through the main gates we were greeted by some old man in green spandex. I examined his face and lifted an eyebrow. Were his massive eyebrows his secret jutsu, or maybe it was his creepy skin tight spandex. Ew, skin tight spandex on an old guy is NOT ok. Seriously, no one wants to see that. I looked over at Kisa who had a face twisted in disgust. She obviously got to good of a glimpse down bellow.

"Itachi Uchiha!" He shouted pointing a long finger at me. I would have answered him back but the glare off his teeth was blinding and I really couldn't remember his name. Oh well. He wasn't important anyway.

"Itachi-senpi let me take care of him." Said Kisa steeping forward. I nodded; I didn't want to touch him. Anyway, Kisa stepped forward and undid her collar. The creepy guy blushed.

"Now surely such a lovely youthful girl like you is not associating with these criminals. Kisa once again looked disgusted, maybe we should of waited to eat, cause that fish in my stomach was trying to come back out. No I wasn't nervous; it was the sight of the guy. Oh right that was his name Gai…….wow how the hell'd I remember that? Oh well.

Kisa closed her eyes, I sighed it was sights like this that made me wish I was blind. Well anyway I really need to focus on the battle before me, I've never really see Kisa fight and was intrigued by the halberd that she carried. What did she call that thing again? Oh right inu- something or other. Damn dog clan, always giving crazy ass names to their weapons.

Ok well back to the fight. Kisa smirked and reached for the hilt of her weapon. Then with one swift, effortless tug she drew it. The silver blade gave of a reflection as blinding as Gai's teeth.

She pointed it at the man. "Move." She ordered. The man just stared at her. She said it again only to receive a laugh from the freak. Kisa narrowed her eyes and tightened her grip on the hilt. Then she lunged at Gai, her blade withdrew as far as her arms could go, then with a swift movement the blade was brought down across Gai's chest.

The sound of the sharp metal cutting, no, ripping into the mans skin almost covered his loud yelp. He was fast but somehow Kisa's blade was faster. "Damnit!" He spit, gripping the wound. Kisa spun back to the place she was before, her blade back into striking position. She wasn't going to let this guy get her.

I didn't say anything but watched as three puffs of smoke appeared behind creepy brow. There, to my dismay, stood Kurenai, Kakashi, and that other guy (yes his name slips my mind as well). Kakashi glared at me, obviously he hadn't let the torture thing go. Kisa glared back, she wasn't going to take this crap. That's when she did something strange. She did a bunch of hand signs and sealed them off with the dog sign.

To mine, and everyone else's surprise, hundreds of phantom canines appeared from the forest. They avoided me and headed strait for the village. Then like magic homes went up into flames. The four jounin looked in terror at their homes. I smirked at Kisa, this was the new jutsu she had been working on.

"Damnit girl!" shouted the man with the cigarette in his mouth. Kisa smirked and shrugged.

"What are you gonna do about it?" She asked her eyes now completely red. I looked at her. Why hadn't my eyes seen this coming, I rubbed my temples and looked again, the weird thing was this was a jutsu, and my sharingan couldn't even fathom its immense energy enough to replicate it. That's when it hit me. Kisa, the Kisa that was my partner, was abused because of who she was. Kisa was a demon.

Kisa or at least I think it was still her, searched the jounin's faces with her crimson eyes. Her breathing steady but her muscles tense and ready to swing the massive halberd. I didn't say anything, but my stomach was twisting, this time it was out of confusion. If Kisa was a demon then why had Akatsuki allowed her in? Unless……. Oh my god, they wanted to gain her trust, and then kill her. At that my stomach almost heaved into my mouth. This was a lot worse then what I had done to my family, this was true betrayal.
