"This is the Akatsuki headquarters?" Naruto asked skeptically.

Tsukiko only nodded. She approached the rock wall, raised one fist, and slammed it against the wall. The wall shuddered, but nothing happened. She backed up, pacing back and forth impatiently. A person slowly rose from the ground. Tsukiko spun on her heels and fell to one knee, bowing her head to the powerful man.

"Zetsu. You have Sai, correct?" she said calmly.

"We do," Zetsu replied silkily.

Tsukiko rose to her feet again. "Let me in so I can retrieve him."

"No."

"What purpose is he to you?"

"That is for only us to know."

"But I have something that you want!"

"And what might that be?"

Tsukiko moved slightly to the side and pointed a bold finger to Naruto. "Him."

Kakashi rushed forward and grabbed Tsukiko's arm. "You are not in charge of this team and you are not to negotiate other members of this team for one traitorous kid!"

"Do not assume that you can tell me what to do," Tsukiko hissed back. She yanked her arm from Kakashi's grip to see Zetsu sinking back into the ground. "Where are you going?!" She demanded.

"You have wasted my time."

"Don't you want the demon fox??"

"He is not fully awakened. He is of no use to me."

"Then cage him up and beat him until he's awakened. Do whatever you like!"

"No."

"Wait! I have something else that may interest you." Tsukiko said desperately. Zetsu stopped with a sigh and looked at her with tired eyes, waiting for her to elaborate. "Me."

She took a step away from him and felt the transformation come. Her nails lengthened into claws, her teeth became razor sharp, her vision increased and her eyes turned to slits. A low growl rose in her throat and the form of a wolf with five tails formed over her body. Zetsu paused for a moment, contemplating the offer.

He finally shook his head and said, "Not good enough." Then he was gone.

"You don't want me?!" Tsukiko demanded with a growl. "You don't want the two demons being offered at your entrance?!"

"You're a Jinchuuriki?" Naruto asked in a whisper.

Tsukiko pulled the demon back into her self and turned to face him. "Yes," she replied shortly. "But apparently they don't want me." She spun back to face the rock wall. "You don't want me, Rei?? You don't want the two demons waiting outside for you! All I ask is one being! You can't even give me that for us?!" There was no reply. She dug into her knowledge of the infamous Akatsuki. "Itachi!! I know where your brother is!" she yelled, her three teammates tensed suddenly. "I can get him for you! I can bring him to you! I can kill him for you!!" There was no reply. Sakura reached out noiselessly, remembering the friend she had considered Tsukiko. Tsukiko turned to face her and turned back to the rock wall suddenly. "Deidara! I have one of the best medical nins alive with me! She was taught by Godaime Hokage! If anybody can get you your arm back, it's her! I'll give you her for Sai!" No reply. "Kakuzu! I have money! I'll give it all to you! Just for the boy!" Nothing. She was running out of ideas. Then she remembered something she had heard. Only a rumor. But it was worth a shot. "Tobi!" She now addressed the newest member. "I have somebody here with me! Hatake Kakashi! He's right here! Don't you want to see him again?!"

"What?" Kakashi answered suddenly, tense. He was at a loss now.

"I have him here with me! Don't you want to see him again? Don't you want to see again?!" There was a slight movement behind the wall, barely noticeable. "I have him here! I can give you your sight back! We have a skilled medical nin, too! Do you want Kakashi?! Do you want your sight?!"

Her cries faded into the rock wall. All was silent. Then Tobi came out. He was silent, watching them all warily. Tsukiko quickly walked up to Tobi. Kakashi didn't move.

"He's here," Tsukiko said soothingly. "See?" She pointed behind her.

He didn't seem to look Kakashi's way. "Yes."

"I can give you your sight back, Tobi." She gripped one of his hands and looked eagerly into his face. "Your true sight. Do you want it?"

He seemed to search her face briefly before replying, "…Yes."

"Get me Sai. Then I'll get you your sight. Alright?"

"…Yes."

"Good boy." She released his hand and Tobi went back into the wall.

Tsukiko only hesitated a second more, and then spun quickly, performing a jutsu at the same time, and sending five vines from her hands toward Kakashi. The Copy Ninja saw it coming and jumped out of the way. Tsukiko jumped after him. She was faster than him, and only took a second to grab onto him and fling him toward the rock wall with her inhuman strength. She jumped after him and rammed him into the wall before he actually hit it. The impact was fierce. He was momentarily knocked out.

Naruto's yell reached Tsukiko's ears before he did. She spun to her right and braced herself for the impact. His two fists were raised, she raised her hands as well and caught him right on. The impact of their blows reverberated and instantly both were in their semi demon forms.

Tsukiko gave him a toothy grin and said in a liquid voice, "I'd always wondered which of us was stronger… the loved demon or the hidden demon."

Naruto tried to yank himself away, but Tsukiko pulled him closer and threw her foot out at him, hitting him square in the chest and letting go of him at the same time, sending him flying backwards. Tsukiko jumped after him and landed a series of blows on him. Naruto cried out in pain and his demon form grew two more tails. Three. Her malevolent grin grew. She attacked, but he blocked. Their movements were no longer distinguishable by the human eye as they laid blow upon blow on the other. Tsukiko sent her claws through his shoulder, he yelped, but the wound healed quickly as one of his claws sliced into her gut. She also healed and hit him again.

She finally pinned him, giving him another wide grin. "Say good bye fox-boy."

Sakura came running at Tsukiko. She let out a sharp laugh. To think that girl could even consider beating her. Tsukiko backhanded Sakura and sent her flying. Naruto was out cold. Sakura lay in a lump shaking. Tsukiko turned her wicked gaze upon Kakashi, who was slowly reviving. She sauntered over to him and grabbed the collar of his shirt. He tried to struggle, but found he couldn't. She dragged him back over to the rock wall and tossed him at it carelessly.

"C'mon Tobi. You want your true sight back, don't you?" she called in a feral voice. "I have him! Now bring me Sai!"

(A/N: yes. This is where I stopped. Like I said before, no real endings. But u have to admit, if I had ended it, I would have made quite a few new enemies. (specially my friend, Silver. Her fave's Kakashi) So. Yes. I hope u enjoyed it, and I hope I didn't have too terribly many spelling errors and such. As before, please RnR)
