The village was quiet as they walked in. Kioko was slightly agitated by the knocked out guards. She mouthed to them in her silent voice, "Was that necessary?" Kisame only nodded and walked on. Neither needed much effort to translate anymore.
Kioko sighed and tucked her hands behind her head in boredom.
Itachi watched the shadows carefully. His eyes caught every movement the villagers made as they watched them wide eyed.
Kioko smiled and decided to take away some of the suspicion by acting. She skipped around the two and giggled happily. She gazed up at them in happiness and laughed. The villagers all smiled at her comfortableness around them and grinned at the Akatsuki duo instead.
Now they were in the park as they took a short cut to their destination. Now a voice asked, "Well....well... Itachi Uchiha... What a... surprise."
Itachi turned and eyed the white haired man in front of him. Kisame stepped in front of Kioko to hide her from view.
Kakashi looked ready as he stared them down. "After Naruto again I see..." Itachi only frowned and glared at him as he leapt down from the tree and faced them off.
Kioko made a move to look and see who was talking but Kisame move to cover her. "Stay back." Kisame muttered though Kakashi thought he was talking to him. Kakashi asked, "Or you'll do what? Make me into sushi?"
Now Kioko's laugh rang like pealing bells and Kakashi's one showing eye widen. Kioko stepped out from behind Kisame and smiled to Kakashi. Kioko smiled and nodded to him.
She then turned to Itachi and mouthed, "Go on! I'll stay here!" Itachi looked frantic a moment and stated, "No." Kisame frowned and held Samehada. He smirked as he realized what she meant, "She can take care of herself."
Itachi's eyes widened as she took Samehada. The sword seemed to accept her and she lifted it easily as it made itself almost weightless to her. Kakashi gawked at her, and Itachi and Kisame shot off into the woods.
Kakashi asked her, "Who are you?" Kioko smiled and shook her head no. Kakashi frowned, "Are you Akatsuki?!" She frowned and shook her head no again.
She pointed to her mouth and then to he throat and stuck her tongue out of her open mouth and then shook her head no. Kakashi gasped, "You mean you can't talk?!"
Kioko laughed and nodded. She knew she was stalling and she knew she could do so as long as she needed. No matter how hard it was she could keep this up long enough.
Kakashi frowned and asked, "So how did you get caught up in this mess with those two?" Kioko smiled and mouthed, "They saved me." Kakashi couldn't believe that and gasped, "Don't you know who they are?!"
Kioko smiled and nodded. She motioned to the big sword in her hands. She mouthed, "I know them enough." Kakashi growled and asked, "Why are you still with them then?!"
Kioko smiled and lifted a hand to her heart and mouthed a single word, "Love." And then her voice returned slightly and she smiled.

Kioko caught a single moment where she could actually use her voice. She whispers, "I love...." Kakashi acted before she could finish. He pulled a long kunai from his pocket and attacked. She swung the sword and caught his kunai before it could hit her. The sword seemed to suck at Kakashi and he leapt back in agony.
Kioko felt as more chakra flew into her. She smirked and used the blade as a medium for her chakra and the blade grew larger and larger until it was longer than Kisame was tall and wider than Itachi was tall. It looked like the monster it was.
Kakashi looked wide eyed at it before moving his hand to his mask. Kioko acted first and swung the blade at him. He leapt up and stood atop it. Kioko's chakra flooded the blade again and the spike in it shot up and through Kakashi's foot.
He smirked and poofed into a log. She mouthed in frustration and anger, "DAMN LOGS!"

Kakashi appeared behind her again. She gasped and ducked. She swung her foot at the back of the Kakashi's knees. He leapt up and over and the sword hacked him in two.
The cloan poofed.
Why am I always hitting logs! Argh!
Kakashi smirked from a tree and threw nine kunai at her.
She frowned and the blade turned so the flat side was facing Kakashi and the kunai bounce away.
She gasped then as she realized her mistake. She dropped the blade and it poofed away and undoubtedly to Kisame. She coughed and blood poured down her chin. Kakashi looked up at her from the position at her back. His hand was positioned into her stomach from the Chidori.
She coughed and choked as she fell and Kakashi pulled from his hand out from inside her. He looked down at her. Kioko states, "I died for them. No matter what hey think. I died for them... I never in vain... I just wish they would know that..."
Her eyes began to close. Kioko's eyes brimmed over with tears of blood as she died. She found her voice and screamed into the heavens far louder than anything human in a last burst where her actual voice could be used, "KISAME! ITACHI!!" She let her eyes close.
-Itachi and Kisame-
No matter what Kakashi Hatake thought, they were not after Naruto. No matter what anyone told Kioko, they were here to kill a man. They were finished before they had barely left Kioko.
That was when Kisame's sword appeared back at his side out of no where. Kisame gripped it in confusion and it shook slightly as it returned to its rightful owner. Then Kioko's voice rang out over the hills, "KISAME! ITACHI!"
It was so clearly frightened and scared. The voice was chilling to the bone. Kisame gasped, "K-Kioko! I-it had to be her!" Itachi nodded in shock and the two took off in the direction they had come from. They reached the place in a matter of seconds.

Her body lay in the clearing of the swaying grass. Kioko's face dripped bloody tears. Blood oozed from her mouth and stomach.
Itachi and Kisame both gasped at it. Neither could move as the thought got to them.
Kioko... was.... dead.
Itachi was shocked beyond belief. It hit Kisame hard and a step was taken back in shock.
Neither could believe it as they stared down at her that Kioko Aimi was dead. It was too devastating to let it sink in.
