Disclaimer: Same as the previous chapter...Read on .

Kitsune fluttered her eyes open and saw that she was falling.

She had used up too much chakra so she couldn't save herself.

'So this is how it ends eh?' thought Kitsune.

She chuckled to herself.

'Well if it's my time then so be it' Kitsune kept thinking.

"WILL YOU STOP SMILING AND REACH FOR MY HAND ALREADY!?" said a voice above her.

Kitsune shook and looked up.

There Deidara sat on the back of his bird, with his hand extended to help Kitsune.

Kitsune was hesitant, since Deidara was a member of the Akatsuki.

She decided to trust him and took his hand.

Deidara helped her up and they flew back to the edge where Kitsunes friends hung.

Kitsune pulled everyone up one by one.

Lily ran to Deidara and thanked him for saving her friend.

"Thanks so much," she said as she bowed out of respect.

Deidara smiled to himself.

"Uhh, guys?" Kai coughed while his hand was over his stomach, " A LITTLE HELP HERE!"

Kitsune ran towards Kai and started to help him fight.

Kai walked off to sit and let the gut-wrenching pain subside.

Kitsune was now in hand to hand combat with Itachi.

As she punched to her right she began to speak.

"Why would you trick and manipulate me like that?" she asked

"Because…the only way to find your weakness, was to gain your trust…" Itachi responded while dodging Kitsune's blows.

"I don't have a weakness…I am no a weakling to have one!" Kitsune said as she inserted her anger into every punch.

"But you do…" smirked Itachi as he looked towards Kai.

Kitsune looked back to see Kai recuperating himself.

Itachi made his move as he grabbed Kitsune's arms and put them behind her back.

Kitsune gave a low groan in pain as he pulled back her shoulder and brought his face close to hers.

Itachi whispered into Kitsune ear, "He's your weakness…"

Itachi snapped his fingers, then Sasori appeared from the midst.

He grabbed Kai from the back and put him in the same position as Kitsune.

The two heroes were forced to walk toward each other until they stood face to face.

"You two have 30 seconds to talk before we annihilate you," Itachi announced.

Sasori and Itachi back away after tying their hands together, leaving Kitsune and Kai to talk.

"So…this is how it ends eh?" Kitsune tried to smile.

"Haha…yeah…I guess so…" Kai chuckled.

"20 seconds!" yelled Itachi.

"Listen Kitsune, we don't have much time…turn around and reach into my pocket…hurry" Kai whispered.

Kitsune followed his instructions for once and took out a small lavender and blue orb, it looked like Kai's orb and Kitsune's merged together.

"It's a pill, swallow it, it'll give you enough strength to defeat these ass's once and for all…" Kai said.

"How did you get this?" Kitsune questioned.

"Remember when you first got your powers…when you were 9?" Kai asked.

"Yeah…" Kitsune said as she remember what happened that day.

"Now remember Kitsune…you must use these powers at the age of 16 to relinquish the evil that will attempt to merge our beautiful earth with the fiery depths of hell…" said the protectors of heaven.

Little 9-year-old Kitsune was running around in a circle chasing her new tail and feeling her new-found ears.

"Kitsune!" yelled the protector looking very frustrated.

The young girl came to a halt and looked up at the floating monk.

"Yes sir!" she yelled back as if she were in the army.

"Alright now we will give you a back up plan just incase you need an extra boost of power…" began the monk.

"Kitsune…? KITSUNE??" The monk yelled after the hyper girl.

"WEEEEEEE!! I AM PRINCESS KITTEN!!" Kitsune ran out the door and and pretended to give orders to her imaginary servants for her royal ball.

"Kitsune! Now isn't the time to be having a flashback!" Kai snapped.

Kitsune shook her head as she heard a faint call, "10 seconds!!"

"After you ran off, they decided to give me the pill just incase…now eat it!" Kai explained as he threw the pill in the air so Kitsune could catch it.

Kitsune thought hard about whether she should swallow the pill or not.

She caught the pill in her hand and threw it back to Kai, "You should save the world…you swallow it" she said.

Kai was frustrated evenmore now.

Kai jumped up into the air, ignoring the pain in his gut and bicycle kicked the pill.

It landing in Kitsune mouth and she could do nothing but swallow.

"Time's up…Any last words?" Itachi said as he walked towards the two with a kunai in each hand.

Kitsune started hacking out blood.

"Suck it up you bitch!" Sasori said as he kicked Kitsune in her stomach as she was kneeling on the floor.

"We'll let her suffer…looks like your first Kai…" Itachi smirked.

He walked towards the already beaten body.

Kitsune got up and started to run towards Kai.

Itachi reared back his arm and lunged forward with kunai in hand.

Kai's eyes widened.

"KAI!!" Kitsune screamed.

Kai turned his head slowly towards Kitsune.

As he fell back he grabbed onto her choker necklace and it snapped.

Itachi gave a chuckle of satisfaction as Kai's body gave a thudding noise as it hit the ground.

Kitsune fell to the floor and threw herself over Kai's chest.

"NO! YOU CAN'T DIE! YOU JUST CAN'T!" she sobbed.

"Come on…Get up little bitch…your turn to die!" Itachi said in an annoyed tone.

Kitsune felt herself change.

She got up and faced Itachi.

She could feel every fiber of herself getting stronger as she clenched her fist.

The strength of the pill was kicking in.
