Thanks to 'Kurai Homura' (Her username on this site.) for allowing me to use her character in my story! (Her character is also named Kurai Homura.) By the way, if you're not reading this story, you should check out her Naruto fanfic, it's great. Anyway, enjoy the 9th chapter!

"Ninja Art, Negation!" I can move again!

"Nen, out!" I grabbed Nen and promptly dashed to my right, just seconds before the projectile recklessly struck us head-on. Deyanira looked malapert; grinning but I couldn't see her eyes. I personally believe she's insane, and she'll never be forgiven for what's she's done, that's why she deserves to die this very day, despite Nen's refusal. I turned to look at Kemari, her clothes were ripped and spots of our blood on her skin and apparel. White is a bright color though, you can easily recognize she's been in some sort of incident, just so happened that this incident, she was smiling, I knew our plan would work, it won't be over yet!

"Nen, go with Kemari, I'll take care of 'em!" I think Nen's about to pass out, using up all of his chakra, his energy, just to save me, what's driven him?

Aarrrgh! My ear! Shiii--! It's... Ack! I-I think it's deaf!

"Looks like we have company, Itachi." Deyanira muttered, very low, and with my bleeding left ear, I could barely hear it, Nen and Kemari stood in timid stances.

"Pfft. As if, you idiots don't even know how to get the job done!" Who's that..? A black figure jumps out of the sky from a nearby tree to the west. It looked like to be a... Girl? She was looking directly at me... Yikes!

"Who the heck are you?" I turned to look at Nen, but he didn't say it, he was leaning against Kemari for support due to his lack of balance. Deyanira asked it, and we all probably had the same question on our minds: who the heck was this girl? An even greater chill of fear sent through my spine, but, I'm the only one who can actually fight now! Nen has that wound on his back, and Kemari's weak from her jutsu that manipulated my frozenness, she still was able to stand up though, however I don't think Nen is making it any easier for her.

"Your job was to flood this place; don't you know how to follow %&#ing orders?"

...What...?

"Kurai... Calm down..." The Akatsuki dude finally said something in a low voice, almost as if you can't hear him, it doesn't make it any more paradise with this bleeding ear! So, this girl is Kurai huh?

"I don't $&%ing need to, dammit!"

"You failed your damn mission Deyanira! You let your own &#%ing family let you screw up the mission!" Deyanira looked in shock, how had she known about us? Wait, how does she know Deyanira's name? She squinted at me, furrowing her eyebrows to make an extremely provoked expression, I escaped a low sigh; she has the shortest temper of all in the world. Hold on... What's that on her eyes?

"Sironar, watch out! She has Dragon Eye!" Dragon Eye? Don't tell me she's a dragon in human form!

"I thought it was just rumors and fables, but it's real, you better watch yourself; she knows everything about you!" Huh? Kemari, say that again? She knows EVERYTHING about me, whaaaaaat?

"Siren, wait!" I charge toward the mysterious girl. She smirks in satisfaction and turns toward me.

"Seems like I'm suppose to kill you... You don't look that strong... Wait." She focuses more closely at me only to close her eyes and laugh hysterically. "Seriously Deyanira... You couldn't kill him...? Gosh you are as weak as you look.", The girl named Kurai said, I can't wait to prove her wrong! Did she call Deyanira weak? I reach into my ninja pouch and take a few shuriken out and throw it at her. She flicks her wrist like flicking an annoying bug away and the shuriken fall to the ground. Just what is this girl? Maybe she is a dragon in human form...

"Say Itachi, why didn't you destroy these pests when you had the chance?" she asks while flipping her black hair with white streaks out of her silver and black eyes. I start throwing kunai at them but she just flicks them out the way like it is nothing. What's up with this girl? She's reflecting my attacks like it was nothing!

"I wanted to see how strong he was...", So... The guy's called Itachi, huh? Let's see how they handle a little trick of mine!

"Lunar Release: Reverse Vision!" I exclaim as everything becomes reversed. Let's see how she will squirm her way out of this one! The girl looks dazed for a minute but then her chakra level raised to a level I didn't even think was possible. Great... What is she exactly? Is she even human? She breaks out of the Genjutsu as if nothing ever happened.

"Is that all you $&%ing got, huh?" She smirks. I growl as I attempt to see what kind of technique she was doing next; I wouldn't be surprised if she turned into a dragon. She pulls at a sword and charges toward me. I block it just on time and we both exchange blows at each other, each a close call. She had a sadistic look on her face, this was probably absolutely nothing to her, maybe she is a dragon?

"Itachi, finish flooding the place, got it? I'll destroy this place if you don't do it in time..." She rudely asks Itachi, I wonder what makes her so special than Deyanira to be giving orders, huh? He jumps into the trees and starts running full speed without question. I need to defeat this girl no matter what, even if it kills me. I will protect Nen... Even if it kills me, just as he's done to me, I will do the same to him! We're the remaining to protect the Moon Oracle and we won't risk his life because of one lousy girl!
