Yo! I'm back! And with more brain rotting stories!

It has been decided; This is going to be a Fem-Naru.

Everyone say thanks to my great Beta/ friend, AkemixHanako! Aka, Akemi-chan!

Also, the title was inspired by this years NekoCon name. The theme was zombies, because it was NekoCon 10, and everybody knows cats only have nine lives.

Anyway, disclaimer! Come!

Disclaimer; The Crazy Evil Akatsuki Neko does not own Naruto or any other anime she may mention during the span of this story.

Chapter one; A New Identity

Aoi POV

I clutched my head and slowly opened my eyes. I quickly closed one again as something wet hit it. "It's raining..." I said slowly as I sat up, looking at the dark gray clouds above me, a smile making its way to my lips. "Good."

I stood and tried to remember how I had gotten outside. I sighed as I stood, looking over to a small lake nearby.

Then I remembered.

Standing on the tree branch, not being able to move to help Naruto through the entire battle. Watching people stare at him like he was a monster when he was little. And then nothing. "The jutsu... It made mesee the things as I went into their time period...?"

Normal POV

Itachi and Sasuke stared at the strange brunette with the excessively long ponytail as they blinked.

"Aniki, who's that?" The young Sasuke asked, as he stared around Itachi's shoulder.

"I... have no idea..." Itachi stated, as he narrowed his eyes slightly as the girl looked around.

She seemingly noticed them, as she turned and stared straight at them. She grinned and waved at them happily. "Oi! Do you guys know where the hell I am?"

Itachi face faulted, nearly falling over as Sasuke held on to his shoulders, trying not to fall off. 'What is she, some kind of baka?!'

He then decided it best to put Sasuke on the ground, in case he really did fall over from this girl's idiocy. Sasuke looked at him confusedly, before gaining an understanding expression, a sweat drop forming.

"You didn't answer me..."

Sasuke jumped, watching as Itachi stared at the girl, who had appeared next to them. He noticed she was around his aniki's age as she cocked her head to the side.

Itachi rubbed his eyes, figuring out that she was probably a ninja as well. Most likely a Chunin given her appearance, although he didn't see a Hitai-ate anywhere on her person. "What? Did you randomly walk here and not notice your surroundings?" He asked as he stopped rubbing his eyes to stare at her.

She blinked, putting a hand to her chin as she looked up again. "Uh... Sure, let's go with that." She grinned again, looking around. She saw Itachi smile at Sasuke, who smiled back.

"Oh, I'm Ame by the way. It's nice to meet you, uh..." She took in their clothing and nodded to herself. "Uchiha-sans."

Itachi nodded slightly, confused by this very random girl.

Sasuke stepped up next to Itachi and grabbed his hand. "I'm Sasuke, and this is my aniki, Itachi!" He said happily as he tugged on the older boys hand.

Ame smiled again, just as a few more drops of rain pelted down on the three.

Itachi was the one to look up this time. Sasuke followed suit, just as a drop hit him on the nose, and he scowled as Ame laughed. He pouted at her, which just made her laugh more. "Hmph." He crossed his arms and pouted more.

"We should probably get out of the rain, Okaa-san will kill us otherwise." Itachi said to Sasuke as he looked back down, a few stray rain drops having made splashes on his face. Sasuke looked up at him and tugged on his hand again.

"Aniki! What about Ame-chan? She doesn't know where she is, remember?! We should bring her with us!" He whined, swaying back and forth as he did so.

Itachi rolled his eyes, and Ame just smiled at him.

"It's fine. I'm sure I'll b-"

The older interrupted her with a wave of his hand. "No, he's right. We would be in even more trouble if our mother finds out we didn't bring you back with us."

Ame blinked at him, shrugging apologetically as she laughed nervously. She rubbed the back of her head. "Can I at least go get my Hitai-ate? I dropped it back there." She pointed to the shore of the small lake, the seemingly perpetual smile gone.

Itachi nodded and she ran back over to where the two found her, kneeling down and looking for the shiny metal of the forehead protector. She came back up slowly with the afore mentioned ninja item in hand, beginning to tie it to her head and then pulled it down so it hung loosely around her neck.

Uchiha Quarters

Ame gaped. "Nice house!"

Itachi rolled his eyes at the girl again, wondering how long this strange girl was going to be like this. Sasuke grabbed the older girls hand and began pulling her into the home, stopping only so they could take off their muddy shoes.

They stopped again as they apparently made it to the kitchen, and Ame noticed someone standing with their back to the two of them.

"Welcome home, Sasuke-san, Itachi-kun."

The woman turned around and stopped, looking at the new addition. She looked at her son for an answer, and he just smiled at her.

He tugged on Ame's hand the way he had Itachi's, pulling her forward towards his mother.

"Hi, Okaa-san!"

Both females blinked at his lack of introduction.

"Er... I'm Ame, Itachi-san pointed out that you would probably kill him if you found out they left me out there while it was raining..." Ame laughed nervously and rubbed the back of her head with her free hand.

The older woman nodded, a smile making it's way to her lips as she looked the girl up and down. 'At least he's smart. It's not just looks and power.' She thought to herself as she stepped back a little and gave the two a gentle smile, right as Itachi walked in and looked at them with a raised brow, before walking away upstairs.

"I'm Uchiha Mikoto, Sasuke-san and Itachi-kun's mother. I was just making dinner if you'd like to join us?" Mikoto invited, as she pointed over to a pot of Miso boiling on the stove top.

Ame smiled gratefully as she nodded, allowing Sasuke to pull her away as he walking into a separate room. Mikoto looked after them with the smile still in place, a vision stirring in her mind as she looked to the stairs, where her eldest son had disappeared to. 'Hmm... time to play matchmaker, eh?' She laughed internally as she turned back to the stove, watching over the few cooking vessels covering it as her smile turned mischievous. 'This should be fun.'

Later

The four sat around the small table, an extra seat having been placed at it for the guest as three of them chatted. Fugaku finally joined them ten minutes after they had seated themselves, eyeing Ame suspiciously as he sat himself down.

"And who, may I ask, is this?" He nodded towards Ame, who gave a smile as she internally sweat dropped.

Mikoto's smile turned mischievous again as she turned to her husband, and the three minors could see a glint in her eyes. "Oh, this is Ame-chan. Itachi-kun's new girlfriend!" She said joyfully as Fugaku, Itachi and Ame choked on their respective drinks, a large blush spreading across Ame's cheeks.

"What?!?!" The two teens managed to choke out in unison as they looked at Mikoto with wide eyes. A feeling of dread seeping it's way into their stomachs as she smiled at them.

"See? You two are so cute together!" She clasped her hands and put them to the side of her head, leaning on them as Ame blinked rapidly.

"B-but-" Fugaku slowly closed his eyes and placed his cup on the table, his face turning serious as he gave a stern look to the girl, who shivered.

'Dammit. I hate having to keep up this act...'

"What are your abilities, Ame-san?" It was more a demand than anything else.

She gaped at him, thinking the man was crazy.

"If that is your real name, and if you are truly a Shinobi of Konohagakure." She stiffened as Mikoto glared at Fugaku, Sasuke was blinking in the background as he slowly ate his meal. Dinner and a show, gotta love family.

Ame's eyes hardened as she stared at the man, her mouth closing and her lips thinning. "What... exactly are you accusing...?"

His stern eyes met hers, as he raised his head snootily, and he began to say something before she interrupted him as she stood. "I wouldneverbetray my village. Not unless it meant my loved ones would die. I would kill myself before I did!"

They glared at each other. "I hate... people who betray their friends." She turned to Mikoto, Itachi and Sasuke, bowing to each of them before leaving the room, walking out of the large house as she did so.

Three of the four blinked as they stared after her, one thought going through the males' heads. 'He. Messed. Up.' Mikoto slowly turned to look at Fugaku, who snorted as the girl left. A glare finding it's way onto Mikoto usually kind features. She opened her mouth to say something, but instead shook her head as she sat back down, closing her eyes.

After the diner had ended, Fugaku had gone to his bedroom to meditate, leaving Mikoto to clean up. The brothers sat, confused by the teenage female mind set. They thought it consisted only of molesting them, as was brought upon by the many hoards of fan girls. (1)

Mikoto stopped picking up long enough to look at her unusually confused sons.

"Sasuke-san, how about you come help me clean up?" She asked with a smile, he just nodded slowly, standing from his spot and walking over to help her carry the dishes into the kitchen. She turned to Itachi, who blinked slowly, somehow unable to comprehend the female mind. "Itachi, maybe we should look for her after we're done cleaning...?" He was silent, standing from his spot as he walked to the small deck connected to the large home.

Mikoto stared after him as she picked up a cup, shaking her head at him as she walked into the kitchen. She smiled again as she saw Sasuke being attacked by overflowing soap bubbles, a look of panic on his face as they spilled onto the floor. (2)

'Itachi still has a lot to learn about girls.' She thought sadly, as she rushed to help Sasuke.

Some random tree

Silver eyes stared at the sky, a sigh escaping the owners lips as she sat up, a disturbed look on her face. A vibrating came from her pocket and she reached into it, pulling a small rectangular object out and pressing the single button. A picture bleeped onto the screen, and a smile reached her lips.

"You make it, Aoi-neechan?"

Aoi shook her head amusedly, putting a hand to her head and laying back down in the branches. "Yep... But while I'm here, call me Ame. So if anyone over hears, they'll still think that's my name." She replied calmly, staring at the stars that had begun to come out of their day long hiding.

Naruto blinked as his vision turned from his 'sister' to the sky, he looked at his hands for a moment. "You've always liked the rain..." He craned his neck to try and see her face as she gave a small laugh, a gust of wind blowing her long bangs over her face.

A knock came from his door and he looked to it, scrambling to do something. "Erk! Gotta go, Ao- Ame-chan!" He grabbed the remote for the small screen and pressed a button as she gave another laugh, the screen going blank once again as he hid the remote back in his desk.

The knock became louder as he scrambled for a pen, attempting to look like he had been doing paperwork as he called for them to come in. Sakura poked her head in with a worried expression planted on her face as she stepped into the large circular office. Naruto gave a sigh of relief as he put a hand to his head.

"Did you tell her?" She asked as she stared at her former teammate, now Hokage, and she looked at the small screen he had forgotten to hide.

Naruto shook his head, opening his eyes and staring at his hands again as he scrunched his face up.

Ame blinked as she pocketed the small device again, laying on her arms as she fingered a piece of hair, a bored expression obvious in the darkness. 'I hope I can stop it from happening...' She closed her eyes again and sighed, drifting off into a light slumber.

However, it only lasted around twenty seconds, as Itachi had decided to make himself known and step onto a higher branch. She kept her eyes closed and her breath even as he stared at her, his suspicion of her growing larger as he thought of what he had heard coming from the small screen. He stepped forward lightly, his ninja skills making it so that the branch didn't move. He stopped as she spoke; "I know you're there, Itachi-san, I'm not actually asleep."

He stepped back as she pushed herself into a sitting position in front of him, a serious expression adorning her face as she cautiously looked at his eyes, which were free of the Sharingan... for the moment. She gave a sigh, placing a hand to her head and facing down as he fingered a kunai.

"I guess you're wondering now, aren't you?"

His eyes narrowed as she looked back up at him, a bitter smile lacing her features.

"Who I really am...?"

In an instant, he was behind her with the kunai to her throat as she blinked slowly.

"Exactly." He moved the kunai nearer to her throat as she gave a small chuckle, grabbing the blade of the kunai with her hand and pulling it away slightly as a small bit of blood ran down her wrist. His eyes narrowed more as she smiled kindly at him, not a hint of malice apparent in her eyes as he pulled the kunai back to its original spot, a small cut forming on her thumb. "What do you think people would say if they saw us like this...?" He glared as she tightened her grip on the tug-of-war kunai.

She stuck her tongue out a little, closing her eyes and turning into many small, blue flower petals. His kunai still had blood dripping on it, as he stared at the few petals that hung in the air, slowly finding their way to the trunk of the tree. He looked up, only to see that she was nowhere in front of him, and he looked behind him, seeing her sitting on a branch a few feet away, frowning as she looked at the stars again.

"The night sky is always so pretty and pure, like the rain... It just lets you think..." She looked back down at him from the slightly higher branch, seeing that he was getting ready to jump up after her, she raised the undamaged hand. "I'll tell you..."

He straightened, keeping the kunai's at hand in case she tried to attack. She shook her head as she stood and carefully walked over to him, making him tense ever so slightly. "I am Tsukiyo Aoi, I am a citizen of Konohagakure. Although..."

He continued to stare at her as she looked at her feet and smiled bitterly. "You may not believe me, but I'm actually from about... Oh, fourteen or so years into the future." He swung the kunai at her, she quickly ducked and jumped over him, landing on his other side.

"Sorry, but I don't believe you."

"Uchiha massacre to occur in about three months."

He blinked, pausing mid swing of his kunai to her stomach as she closed her silver eyes. "What...?" She stared at her feet. "Believe me now?"

Too... Much... Dialogue... --falls out of chair--

--whistles-- Wow, it definitely seems better with Akemi's changes. Sweet.

Short, I know. I couldn't think of anywhere better to leave off...

And, I suck at writing action scenes, so please, complain.

Sorry it seems rushed, but that's what comes from writing it in... Exactly one week...

1) Akemi-chan's note; LOL!

2) My note; --raoflao--

'I am the silence that brings your fear.

I am the moon, bringing eerie shadows to life.

I am the wind, circling the corner, coming for you,

I am the Akatsuki Neko. Bringer of death.'

Until next time... --disappears in swirl of white outlined red clouds--

Next time;

"Is it okay if I call you Joe, so that I have something to address you by?"

This time, Joe did not escape the facefault, and effectively hit his head on the metal bars, somehow knocking himself out. She blinked a few times, mortified. "I'll take that as a 'no'..."
