I awoke and found that Itachi was still lying on the bed next to me. He was awake and I realized that he was waiting for me to awaken as well. He saw that I was awake and neared my face. He brushed his lips against mine and I giggled. He heard me laugh and kissed me more passionately. He broke the kiss quickly then put on his cloak. I grabbed his hand and gave the most droppiest puppy dog eyes he had ever seen. I bet that Cupid struck him with a giant Love Arrow 'cuz he climbed right back with me and held me close to him.

We stayed like that and he started to stroke my hair. I held him tighter as he rocked back and forth at the same time stroking me gently. I felt my eyes get heavy but I knew that if I fell asleep, he would leave. At last, he got impatient and decided to do the next big thing. He lay me on the bed and kissed my neck again. I tilted my head and gave him more flesh. I felt him smirk and I stroked his hair. I knew what he was going to do next.

You guys probably don't remember but Itachi had given me a hicky. Remember? Well now that first one was starting to disappear. And if it did disappear, Itachi said that I would not have a mark that proved I was his. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. Itachi's WAY too posessive of his females, right? But I don't think he has another female. At least I HOPE he doesn't. 'Cuz then I would be really mad. Then I had the sudden urge to pull away from Itachi. But that would get him mad and he'd bite me again. And I don't want to be full of bruises.But I had a choice.

I pulled away from Itachi before he could pronounce me as his own again. He starred blankly at me and he had changed it as quick as lightning. He was now mad that I had pulled away but I wanted to know something. I wanted to know if he was just using me to revive his clan or if I was just an available female to him. I gazed up at him and he realized that I was upset about something. He tried to hug me but I refused to let him touch me until I knew the truth.

I was about to ask him when I heard someone coming to my room. Apparently, Itachi had heard and was now getting out of my room. He turned back and he had a sad expression. I got up and walked over to him. I embraced him in a hug and said that I was sorry and I had a good reason for pulling away. He accepted my apoligy but he wanted to know the reason for it. I said he'd have to come back tonight to find out. He chuckled and kissed me goodbye and left.

At the same moment Itachi left, there was a knock at the door. I opened it and saw Sakura.

"Good morning, Koyuki."

"Good morning, Sakura." I responded.

"Lord Misukage wishes to see you this morning at breakfast. He says you don't eat breakfast most of the mornings."

"He tells the truth." We laughed a bit and then she left me to get dressed.

I knew it was going to relate to training so I put my training uniform on. It was black capris with a baby blue strap shirt. I had my holster and pouch full of my weapons. But I felt sort of light at the time, when I usually felt heavy with weapons. Then I realized I had never got back my gourd. I've had that gourd since I was four so being without it made me feel different. I brushed my hair and left it down as always then went downstairs. I was quite disturbed and didn't want to see Sasuke after what happened last night.

I finally reached my destination and saw all of the shinobi. Except now there were three extra ninja from Sand. One was a girl with blonde hair and a giant iron fan. The other was a boy witha puppet on his back and he wore a black hoodie. The last was a boy with red hair and a gourd like mine but his was made of sand. When I came down and introduced myself I kept feeling eyes on me. I looked up and saw the red-headed boy and Sasuke eyeing me.

"Koyuki, now that you're here, we can introduce our guests." The Misukage said as the three shinobi from Sand got up and walked over to me.

"Hi, I'm Temari." The girl with blonde hair said as she extended her hand and I shook it.

"Hey, I'm Kankurou." The boy with the puppet said and I shook his hand too.

"And this is our younger brother, Gaara." Temari said introducing the boy with red hair but he didn't bother to talk.

"Hello everyone. It is great to meet you all." I said looking over all their faces and saw that the one called Gaara was eyeing me again.

"Misukage," I said as I turned to him." Did you happen to see my gourd around?" When I said gourd, the Sand siblings looked up in intrest.

"Yes Koyuki. It is over by the living room." He said as all of us entered the living room. There, I saw my gourd and ran to it. I strapped it onto my back and everyone gapped at me.

"What's wrong?" I said as I saw their expressions.

"You can carry a gourd? It looks so heavy." Said Naruto. I starred at Gaara and then countered.

"Gaara uses one too."

"Yeah but Gaara's a guy and he has the muscle." Naruto said. I glarred at him thinking that he had called me weak. Everyone glarred at Naruto and Ino and Sakura walked over and smacked him on the head.

I decided to leave the room before it got ugly. I felt two different chakras following me so I picked up my pace and managed to lose them. But then they found me and I couldn't lose them anymore.Because of my competition, I didn't notice the other three chakras following me too. It wasn't until I was pulled out of my path and hit hard against a tree that I realized.

"I think you hurt her. Itachi won't like that." One said and I looked up to see it was Kisame.

"I blame you, Sasori. You said to get her quick before we lost her." Said Diedara as he looked over to the one called Sasori.

"Itachi let you go off easily but don't think we will." Said Sasori looking at me.

He saw how much pain I was in and told Diedara and Kisame to go and get reinforcements.After they left he got close to me and helped me to my feet. The part I didnt like was that he wrapped his arms around my waist to keep me in balance. But I do admit, he is nicer than most Akatsuki. Soon Diedara and Kisame returned and brought Hidan, Kakuza, Tobi, and Zetsu. Kisame, Diedara, and Sasori took me back to the Akatsuki while the rest kept a look out for any followers. We arrived at the hideout but I didn't know why I was there. Did something bad happen to Itachi? I worry.
