I do not own Naruto.

Bold is dark Zetsu talking, Italics are thoughts.

Chapter 4: Answers

Once all of the guys were dressed they all sat around her living room. The only one that seemed to have disappeared is Itachi but she would worry about that after she got answers. She turned to Sasori with narrowed eyes and growled, "Ok Sasori start talking." Sasori sighed and decided that he better go ahead and answer her questions before she freaked out again. "Ok for your first question I had taught Deidara a jutsu that would bring me back to life but as a human that is why I'm alive." Sakura nodded her head in understanding to his first answer.

Sasori was completely blunt with his next answer, "We don't know why we are kittens or why we were sent to you." Sakura raised an eyebrow, "That's a little weird but I'll hold off on more questions until you finish." Sasori nodded his head and continued, "Ok Itachi is alive because of the same jutsu used on me. Sasuke did kill him but we brought him back. As for Sasuke he joined the Akatsuki after he killed Itachi. Once we brought Itachi back he and Sasuke spoke in private and have been actually acting like brothers."

Sakura eyes widen at that, "Ok that is just a little creepy to me. Did you know that you would turn back when you touched the water?" Sasori gave her a look that clearly said that he thought she was crazy, "Of course we didn't if we did do you think we would've let you put us in water." Sakura nodded her head agreeing with him, "You do have a point there."

Just as Sakura was about to ask another question Sasori, Hidan, Kisame, Kakuzu, Zetsu, Sasuke, Jugo, Tobi, and Suigetsu all turned back into kittens.

Deidara sighed and spoke up, "Maybe I can answer some of your questions Sakura-chan." Looking around her again and still not seeing Itachi Sakura looked back to Deidara and asked, "Ok but first where did Itachi go there are only nine kittens here and you?"

Itachi called out I'm here while walking back into the living room painting his nails with Sakura's black nail polish. Sakura's eyes narrowed as she yelled at him in a voice that promised death, "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?" Itachi raised an eyebrow, "What does it look like?" Sakura just growled at him then turned back to Deidara, "Ok so what is the last thing you remember Deidara?"

Flash back/Deidara explaining:

Well leader called us all for a meeting right before it happened. As you know everyone in the Akatsuki wears black nail polish, he ordered us to remove it before we were to attend the meeting. All of the Akatsuki were in the meeting hall everyone got really dizzy and I assume passed out. We all woke up in the box and the first thing we saw was you. That is all I can remember.

End Flash back/ explanation.

Sakura tapped her chin in thought, "Sounds like your leader is the one that did this to you." As Sakura was saying this Deidara turned back into a kitten and sat on the floor with the others at Sakura's feet well except for Tobi he was in her lap. Itachi spoke up agreeing with her insight, "Indeed it does sound like leader did this to us but we don't know how to change back or stay in our human forms."

Sakura looked to the floor while thinking, "I really do hate him but he is the only one left human at the moment and he's pretty smart so maybe we can figure something out." So with a sigh she looked at him. Her eyes widened when she came to a realization, "Hey wait your completely dry why are you still in your human form?" Itachi shrugged but decided to tell her his thoughts on the matter, "I don't know but I do have an idea." Sakura nodded her head for him to continue. Itachi looked to the kittens then back to her, "First let's see if the water will turn the others back if not we will try my idea."

Sakura went and got a towel and went to the kitchen sink to wet the kitten's heads to see if they would turn back. She called out form the kitchen, "Itachi it isn't working what now?" Itachi came into the kitchen, "I believe it has to do with our nails. I think we need to paint their nails to turn them back. It appears that the water only worked once."

Sakura nodded agreeing with him, "That would seem so but first let me put up a special justu up around the house that will hide your chakra from everyone else." Itachi looked at her with wide eyes, "Won't that use up your chakra?" Sakura smirked at him, "No this is a special jutsu that only I can use and it won't take any of my chakra and I can leave it up as long as I want." Itachi smirked and nodded to her, "Very well then do it." Sakura made the hand signs to put up the barrier.

Once done Sakura gave a nod, "Ok let's paint their nails." They started to paint the kitten's nails as soon as they were done with one nail they turned back to their human forms. Hidan growled out, "I hate being a fucking cat I'm glad that you and the bitch figured out how to keep us fucking humans." Sakura's eye twitched, "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST CALL ME!"
