Chapter 21:

The End (Part 2)

I never thought we had ran as fast as we were…okay maybe when we were chasing Deidara or Sasori so we could torture them but that's another story. We skidded around a corner, not expecting two people to be there. Reiya was in the front, so when she stopped, Alex and I ran into her of course. I was about to yell at her, but when I saw who they were I kept my mouth shut.

"Well, I guess we were worried for nothing," Reiya said in between breathes. The two people were Sasuke and Naruto.

"What about.." I was still trying to catch my breath. We had been running faster than I thought.

Sasuke knew what I was asking anyways. "We managed to distract them with a clone. It probably won't be long until they find out."

And I gotta say he was right. Because RIGHT when he finished saying that sentence, there was an explosion a few meters away. The wall had been almost completely cleared. The figures of Deidara and Sasori apperead out of the dust from the explosion. "You can be really snnoying you know un," Deidara said to us.

"I don't I've ever seen Pein so mad," Sasori said a tad amused.

"Now be good for once and give us the real Naruto," we heard someone say, but there was no one there. My question as to who it was soon answered by pieces of paper flying into the room. The pieces flew past us and began to gather by Sasori. The pieces of paper built up, making something. It was a blob at first, but it eventually turned into Konan (yeah shes the girl member and she is this origami person…she's kinda scary in a way).

So now there were three. Making things that much worse. Then, an idea popped in my head. I beckoned Reiya and Alex over so I could whisper it in their ears. Smug smiles were on our faces like always. We turned to face the 3 Akatsuki members again. "Fine, we'll give Naruto," I said putting my hands above my head. Sasuke and Naruto looked at us with the same crazy look we always got.

"Just go along with," Reiya whispered as she pushed Naruto to walk to the Akatsuki with us.

As we got closer, I kept whispering to Reiya and Alex, "Wait for it….wait for it.."

When we were only a few steps away from Sasori and Deidara, I yelled, "NOW!"

As soon as I had said that one word, Reiya and Alex clamped themselves around Sasori and Deidara in a sufforcating hug. Naruto and I started dashing back to where Sasuke was standing. When we reached him, I took his arm pulling him with us. Reiya and Alex would be able to hold back Sasori and Deidara for awhile.

We didn't get very far when sheets of paper started flying past us. "Run faster," I shouted back, picking my speed up a little. A small laugh echoed, and I was pretty sure it was Konan. I punched a sheet of paper out of frustration. "Hope that hurt," I mumbled.

"Wait a minute.." I trailed off and suddenly stopped running. A smug smile on my face again. "Fire burns doesn't it?"

Naruto and Sasuke stopped running, smiles now on their faces. They understood what I was saying. Naruto and I backed up behind Sasuke to give him room. What better way to get rid of paper than burning it with a fire jutsu?

The flames from Sasuke's jutsu spread through the mass of paper at an incredible rate. We managed to get through it unscathed (ironically), leaving Konan to deal with the fire.

When we were far from Konan, I leaned against the wall to catch my breath. "Should we go back to help Reiya and Alex?" Naruto asked.

I looked at him, soot all over my face, and shook my head. "Kakashi and the others probably heard the explosion and rushed to it. Unless they got caught up like we did then they should be with Reiya and Alex by now," I stopped to take another breath of air.

A loud boom sounded through the building, shaking the ground below us. "Guess Deidara finally escaped Alex's hug," I muttered, trying to regain my balance. I looked at Naruto again, his expression pleading. I exhaled. "Fine, I'll go help them, but you have to stay here Naruto. If they saw you there all hell could break loose."

"Like it already hasn't," I heard Sasuke mumble under his breath.

I gave him a nasty look.

"Fine…" Sasuke mumbled, looking at the floor.

I took one last breath and ran down the hall, disappearing around the corner. The ground rumbled under my feet again, making me stumble a few steps. This one had felt bigger than the last one, meaning either Deidara made one big bomb, or I was closer. Then, a sound started to echo. I wandered toward the wall, pressing my ear up against it. The sound was coming from the other side, and getting louder.

I listened more intently. It sounded like birds, no, chirping birds. My blood stopped cold. "Oh shit," I backed as far from the wall as I could, barely getting out of the way of the crumbling wall. A streak of blue flew past me, just inches away from my face. I fell on the ground in relief that I hadn't been hit by Kakashi's chidori. "Guess I found them," I muttered sarcastically, and dusted myself off.

Kakashi came out of the rumble and looked at me still half- dazed from his missed attack. I waved, being sarcastic again. No one had followed Kakashi threw the wall, probably thought he got crushed by the rubble. I peered around the wall. Sasuke was practically right, all hell had broken loose. I spotted Reiya and Alex on the other side of the now-to-be-called battlefield.

I squirmed close to the wall, so I wouldn't get hit. A kuini (sorry can't spell) zoomed by my face, and stuck into the wall. I sucked in a sharp breath. My eyes wandered down. Their was a sheet of paper attaches with lettering on it. My eyes widened, and I jumped back, the explosion just nearly missing me.

"Ok, screw crawling," I mostly yelled, and sprang to a fast sprint toward Reiya and Alex. I had to move at awkward angles to avoid the sudden wave of kuini, all heading for me strangely. I almost ran into Alex when I trying to avoid the sharp-edged blade from hitting me in the butt.

Alex looked at me strangely. "Oh just shut up," I said. I looked at Reiya.

"Where did Reiya find a bat?" I asked.

Alex shrugged her shoulders. "You're guess is as good as mine."

Deidara was about 5 feet away from Reiya. He threw a bomb straight at her, and then something strange happened. Reiya swung the bat, sending the bomb up toward the ceiling. It exploded once it hit contact with the ceiling. "Well there's something you don't see everyday," I said to Alex, who nodded in reply.

A few seconds after the bomb had exploded, there was a loud rumble. The "battlefield" grew quiet at the sound. A large piece of the roof broke loose and fell to the ground, soon the whole place was starting to collapse. Reiya dropped the bat, she tried to run, but Deidara was blocking her path. I didn't know why he was since the whole entire White House was collapsing.

"Ah what the heck," I yelled and charged at Deidara, Alex zoomed ahead once she relized what I was doing of course. She sent Deidara to the ground with an ear splitting squeal and I was pretty sure she yelled, "Sempai," but you never know. It looked like she grabbed something too, because when she got up, Deidara was holding on to her leg screaming, "Give it back," I didn't want to know what she took at that point.

Reiya got Alex free, and we bolted for the nearest way out.

We watched the White House crumble from a nearby hill. The Akatsuki had disappeared sometime before we remembered them. When the building was a pile of rumble Alex said, "Well should we go or wait for the SWAT team or whatever to arrive?"

"Leave," we all said at once.

We were miles from the White house when Kakashi stopped everyone. "I need to give you something," he said as Reiya, Alex, and I walked toward him. He reached in his pocket and pulled out two, one of a kind, Leaf Village headbands. I hadn't relized we never had a headband the whole time until now. I took the headband from Kakashi and tied it around my head.

I looked at Reiya. She was staring at the headband that laid neatly on her palm. "Oh yeah almost forgot," Naruto said, taking the headband from Reiya, putting it in his pocket, and placed a Sand Village headband in Reiya's empty hand. A smile of satifaction crossed her face. "Much better," she said, tying it around her head.

I turned to Alex, a confused expression soon on my face. "Where did you find that?" I asked, staring at her headband.

"I stole it from sempai," she said with a proud tone. So that's what she got Deidara all worked up about.

"You can give the other Leaf headband to Cloud as a sovenier," Reiya suggested.

"Cloud? Who's Cloud?" I asked.

"Your dog," Reiya answered, a worried expression on her face.

My face turned pale. I forgot I owned a dog. How sa was that. "WE GOTTA GET BACK HOME NOW!" I yelled. "I FORGOT I OWNED A DOG EVEN THOUGH IT'S PROBABLY DEAD BY NOW, OH MY GOSH WE GOTTA GET TO THE AIRPORT!!" I kept rambling on until we finally got a plane heading home….
