Me: I'm sorry it took so long but I was a little disappointed with my last chapter because, like a lot of you said. Sasori and Itachi should have put up a bigger fight. :C I FAILED YOU ALLLLL! WAAA! I won't stop writing however, maybe when I finish all of my stories...HAHAHAHA...finish all of my stories, lol, I'll revise them, Haha, finish all of my stories, hehe. Sorry, it's just that, I keep adding more, I don't think there will be a day when ALL of my stories are finished. Anyways, on with the story.
Also, I don't really know Kisame, Deidara, and Sasori's story or background so I'll make them up. If they are similar...I guess I'm a good guesser, lol.

Chapter V
Interrogations And Meetings!
-x-x-x-
(Year 2002, Modern Era, Konoha)
Kagome placed a barrier around her home after both she and Sesshoumaru were inside. She moved towards the four, only two were conscious. "Okay, let me explain first. I'm going to let you all out one at a time, no I wont put you back in but I don't want those two waking up and deciding on whim to attack me. Sesshoumaru here is capable of destroying you all with a flick of his fingers so don't try anything crazy. We will start with you Deidara." A small opening appeared and the blonde walked out.
She walked off and he followed. She walked into her room and sat down at her desk, turning the chair to face her bed.
"Sit please." He nodded but stared at the room.
"It's a little..."
"Girlie? Yeah, I know." She sighed, 'It's supposed to be...'
"Why?"
"This is about you, not me. Now, first question...why are you considered a missing Nin and an S Class Criminal?"
He looked down at his hands as pain and regret flashed in his eyes before anger and hatred replaced them. "I-I used to be a specialized bomber in Iwa. Pein took a notice of my skills and sent Itachi to recruit me into the Akatsuki." Kagome nodded, showing that she was listening. "I refused, I did...I put up a fight, yeah...but Itachi defeated me and I was forced to join the Akatsuki. I have loathed him since then. I became determined to defeat him, even trained one of my eyes to overcome his signature ability...Genjutsu, it still wasn't enough. I want to go home...you know. I have a little sister...she only had me left..." He looked down at his hands in thought as he remembered his sister.
"Well, the way I see it, you were forced against your will. I won't let you off with nothing however, you have killed many people. I will explain punishment after hearing the others stories as well. Stay here and I'll be back." She walked out after he nodded and walked up to Sesshoumaru. Sasori watched and listened as she spoke.
"Well Miko?"
"He seems sincere enough. He was forced into the Akatsuki and wants only to go back to his little sister. Will you take him into your...boot camp from hell?"
He smirked, "Hn, why not."
"Let me finish up with these three and I'll meet you on the Hokage's Monument to talk." He nodded before turning to depart. She made a small opening and he left through the window before she closed it up.
"Alight, who's nex—t, uh...never mind. I'll choose." She said in an uneasy way as she looked at furious red eyes and sharp shark like teeth. "Puppeteer, come on." She made an opening big enough for one and he walked out. The two remaining never took their eyes off of her...well, him to them. "Uh...hehe, let's go...oh, would you rather talk in a room with no prying ears or in my room where Deidara is?"
"Deidara knows about my past just like I know his." She nodded and left with him following close behind.
-x-x-x-
Sasori followed the young man who promised them salvation rather then death row and walked into his room. He paused and glanced around at the light blue painted walls and dark blue carpet. A pile of CD's were on the floor in a corner and a vanity on the right side of his large bed. His bed...gods his bed...it was a black furnished frame with a silvery white comforter with black symbols he had never seen before. Dangling from the comforter were little inch sized metal moons in purple that looked similar to the one on the man with silver ankle length hair he had seen talking with Kagome earlier. Multiple black, purple and white pillows were on his bed with Deidara who was looking through what looked to be a sketchbook.
"Wha..." He couldn't speak.
"Yes, I know, it looks girly."
"You have...a vanity..." He said in a deadpanned tone. Kagome gave a chuckle and sighed before sitting down just as someone decided to pound on her door.
"Huh, is there really a reason to beat up my poor door?"
Sasori raised a brow at the boy. "You have not one...not two...not three...but FOUR...S class criminals in your home. Albeit, two are still...caged...but the fact remains that there are four bad guys in here."
"Oh...yeah, good point. Uh, Deidara, could you go see who it is, just make sure you don't touch past the door once you open it or you'll get shocked." He nodded and stood up with the sketch pad still in hand as he left.
"Alright then, I'll ask the same questions. Why are you considered a Missing Nin and an S class Criminal?"
"...Do you really expect me to tell you my life story?" Sasori watched as the smile on his face never changed.
"If you want me to help...then yes. That's exactly what I expect."
-x-x-x-
Tsunade sighed in irritation. She had been banging at the door for a while now and still nothing. For some reason, they couldn't teleport inside. Gaara tried to use his sand only to receive a shock.
"Gaara, you shouldn't do that. Kagome is a monk from what he told me. He channels pure energy and makes shields and barriers with it. You have demon energy flowing through you and will only serve to purify your energy with his." Tsunade turned to see Neji standing behind her, Gaara and the other Jounin, with a little boy standing next to him.
"Why is Mrs. Nara's youngest with you Neji. He should be with the other children and women in the underground—"
"All of the women and children are at the hospital safe. Shiko wanted to come give Kagome's necklace back and tell him that it worked. I'm not sure why he is bothering to try and help those four...but I trust him. He is capable of taking care of himself and doesn't need our help." He finished talking as the door opened to reveal a distracted Deidara. He looked up and glanced at all of those that were gathered around the apartment.
"Yeah?"
"What have you done with Kagome?" Tsunade asked.
"Nothing. I was looking though his sketch pad, yeah. He is talking with Sasori right now. Is there anything els—ah!" He jumped in surprise when he felt something brush past his leg. Shiko had managed to enter and Neji was willing to bet his life that it had something to do with the jewel around his neck.
Tsunade didn't seem to get it as she smirked and tried walking in only to be thrown back.
"If that is all..." Deidara said as he closed the door and walked back in to the room he had come from with Shiko behind him.
-x-x-x-
"—and so you decided to join the Akatsuki? I don't get it...why didn't you just go after the ones who killed your parents?" She looked up as she spoke and watched as Deidara and Shiko walked in.
"I was only five at the time. I didn't even know who had killed them. I took my anger out on everyone around me and I guess...I turned into my own piece of art along the way."
-x-x-x-
"Hm...Shiko-Chibi, did you take care of it?" Kagome asked. Deidara and Sasori looked on curiously as the little boy nodded and removed the necklace around his neck and handed it to Kagome who took it and placed it around his neck. "Thank you, now why don't you go talk with Itachi and Sharki," Deidara laughed at the name as Shiko smiled and ran out of the room. "You will both be fine as long as you understand...Sesshoumaru will not go easy on you. I wager that if you're not dead within the month that you have to put up with him, you'll be wishing you were. If he does kill you he can bring you back to life. You know, I died once and he brought me back too."
"That's possible? Doesn't it require a sacrifice though?" Sasori asked.
"Well, for normal ninja's, yeah, but he isn't a ninja. He is a demon. A real demon too, not someone with a demon sealed inside of him. He is in fact the Inu Taiyoukai of the Western lands, AKA, all of fire country and then some." Their eyes widened.
"Why are you helping us?" Deidara questioned.
"It's not in me to judge on first meetings. I would advise you not to either. Things aren't always as they seem you know."
Deidara went to open his mouth when Kagome stood and made his way out of the room. "Do you think he was telling us not to trust him, yeah?"
Sasori looked at his partner and then back the way the boy had just left. "I wonder..."
-x-x-x-
"—hile I just started to call him Gome or Gome-Chan. He call's me Chibi-Kun and Shiko-Chibi too. So...why are you two trapped inside the pink cage?" Kagome smiled as Shiko just kept talking. She could see Itachi's left eye twitch slightly and Kisame's whole being start trembling.
"Shiko-Chibi...your mother must be worried. Why don't you head on home and we'll play tomorrow?"
"You promise not to sleep in?"
"I promise." She said with a smile as he thought over it before nodding and leaving. He opened the door and ran straight into...
"Yo..."
Kagome sighed but let the shield down enough for her uncle to come in. Sadly she didn't close it fast enough as Neji and Sasuke managed to move in with him.
"Goodness, you two are pretty fast. Neji, I'll let you back in but first, could you walk Shiko back to his home and make sure he gets there safely?" He nodded and this time she made a pink barrier around them so they could just walk through without her having to make an opening. "Now, why are you in here Sasuke?"
"The second we got back I heard that my bastard of a brother was here. I'm going to kill him for what he's done!" Kagome frowned and glanced over to an unaffected Itachi.
"Hold on." Repeating her previous action she moved Itachi with the bubble barrier and placed him in the guest room.
"Go ahead and head over to the guest room where your brother is." Sasuke looked as if he was going to say something but she just waved him off. He frowned a bit before turning and following in the direction the pink barrier had gone in. "Uncle, I'll take the barrier down once everyone is gone, if I hold it for any longer I'll pass out."
"Hmm, you want me to get them away..."
"If you would, that would be a huge help, also, could you go to the lake. Someone with long white hair should be there waiting for me. Tell him that I need his help."
"Fine, just...be careful. You may have a male's body but you're still a girl."
"Trust me, I know. As a girl I was much more flexible." He rolled his eyes but left out the barrier free window. Kagome turned to walk only to see a grinning blue shark man staring at her. "...I forgot to place a sound proof barrier up...didn't I?" He nodded and she felt her heart start to race. "Please, you can't tell anyone." He said nothing and she sighed before walking off to her room.
-x-x-x-
Sasori was now looking through the same sketch pad and Deidara was lying on the bed. They looked up when Kagome walked in.
"Hey, I will be in the guest room with the two Uchiha's."
"You managed to get them in the same room without them killing each other?" Sasori questioned.
"I put Itachi in another barrier." The two smirked as they watched him turn and leave once more.
-x-x-x-
Itachi was more then a little peeved now, having been moved to another pink prison.
"Sorry you two," They turned to see the young nephew of Kakashi walk in. He sat on the floor, Itachi on the bed and Sasuke on the chair. He released the barrier from around Itachi and watched him land gently on his feet. "First...what the hell could have happened to cause you two to detest each other as much as you do?" Kagome asked.
"Ask...him!" Sasuke sneered.
-x-x-x-
Kagome narrowed her eyes and gave a cold glare that would have made Sesshoumaru jealous. "The question was directed to both of you, and since you so kindly volunteered to go first, start talking!" Sasuke stared in shock as Kagome spoke to him like that.
'Well, I am his age so I suppose he has a right to get angry at the fact that I'm telling him what to do, but if he doesn't talk...I might just throw him out the window. How many stories high is this building?' She glanced towards the window...
"He..."
She looked back at him and noticed that his black orbs held pure hatred in them as they stared into the void black eyes of Itachi.
"...he ruthlessly murdered our entire clan, leaving only me alive..."
"..." Itachi said nothing.
"A massacre huh, why did he do it?"
"Why...WHY! IS THERE EVER A REASON TO KILL A PERSON!"
"You are a ninja, haven't you killed before?"
"...but that's...that's..."
"Different? Not the same thing? You may be right. He didn't kill the clan for money, but as a ninja, you kill for money, don't you?"
"No...I...I don't...I didn't..." He was now visibly shaking and Kagome sighed.
"Sasuke, calm down. I have killed more then you can count and I'm not even a ninja."
"Wha—"
"Were getting off topic. What I'm trying to get at is...there is always a reason. Deidara and Sasori had one, what makes Itachi any different. Itachi—"
"Miko..." Kagome jumped almost a foot in the air as Sesshoumaru's voice came from right behind her. The two stared in surprise at the man who had seemingly materialized out of nowhere behind her.
"Ah, Sesshoumaru, thank you for coming back; I'm sorry, but I wanted you to...uh..." She stood and pulled on his hair causing him to come down so she could whisper in his ear.
He sighed but nodded.
"Thanks." She said before sitting back down. "Now, as I was saying. Itachi, what happened before the night of the Massacre that caused you or made you want to kill them?" Sesshoumaru's eyes widened.
"Kagome...even by demon law...that is—"
"Punishable by death...but I also know...that if the reason or cause is plausible..."
"It will be classified as a misconception."
"Wait, you can't go by demon laws...you need to be a demon!" Sasuke cried out in irritation.
"Not true...I will explain in a second...now once more...Itachi, could you tell me what happened...before...the Uchiha massacre?"
He closed his eyes and opened them slowly.
"I killed my best friend to gain the Mangekyou Sharingun, then to test out my powers...my new...strength...I killed my entire clan."
Kagome raised her brow. "Why didn't you take the life of your little brother while you were at it?"
"I wanted a new challenge. I left him alive so that he may one day pose a challenge."
"SEE! He had no reason!" Sasuke shouted as he went to hit him only for a pink shield to block the hit and send him back a bit before vanishing.
"...Sesshou...?" She questioned.
"He's lying. He spoke the truth only about his best friend." Sasuke stared in shock at Sesshoumaru then turned back to an equally shocked Itachi.
"Why would he lie?"
"Hm, to keep the terrible truth of something away from you, to keep you safe, to train you? There are many reasons. Shoot, Fluffy here lied for a couple hundred years about wanting to kill the hanyou that polluted his family bloodline and get his fathers sword, only to find out that he just wanted to make sure his baby brother survived in the cruel harsh world. In other words, he lied so that Inuyasha would hate him and want to fight him and kill him in which...he trained him."
"..." Sasuke looked at his hands as he started to shake, his eyes held confusion now.
"Itachi, speak the truth now." Itachi turned his head away.
"I did kill Shisui, we were best friends and...I found out that he was going to try and kill me, but I got this information from...someone whom we all thought to be dead. I suppose...that should have been the first warning light for me."
"Who?" Kagome asked.
"His name is...Madara Uchiha."
Sasuke's eyes widened. "That's not...possible."
"He is telling the truth. It looks like your suspicion was right Miko."
Kagome nodded. "So it would seem. Please continue Itachi."
"I didn't want to believe him but I was soon attacked by him and as I went to attack back...he disappeared." Kagome and Sesshoumaru shared a knowing glace. "A week passed when I saw him again and he acted as if he knew nothing but then, that same night, it happened. He attacked before running and I followed, I saw him sitting at a tree out of breath and before he realized what I did...I killed him."
Sasuke didn't know what to think, his brother was now fighting back tears over something he had believed not to have affected him.
Sesshoumaru frowned, "I have a pretty good idea who this guy really is."
"Or...it may be...it may be the offspring." Kagome thought out loud, "Continue, Itachi."
"I was confronted by Madara again...only this time...I knew what he would say...having known about it for awhile. The clan...led by Fugaku, our father, was going to attack the Hokage, and try and take over the Hidden Leaf Village. I had over heard father talking to mother, a little while after Sasuke had gone to sleep. He had been telling her that...he would have to get rid of many of the children and elder Uchiha's that planned to turn against him."
"What, NO! Dad...he—"
"He was also going to get rid of you!"
Sasuke placed his hands on the desk in front of him and Kagome watched as he shook his head.
"Madara told me that I could save him...if I killed...them. So I did. I wasn't going to kill mother or the ones innocent, but it was futile talking to them, mom jumped in front of father, then I killed father and that was about the time Sasuke arrived. I had a copy of myself keeping look out and was informed of his arrival a few minutes before he got there. I fed him the story of how I did it for power and to test out my strength, showing him false images, some true, most not."
Sasuke had stopped shaking at this point and had just gone completely void of movement and emotion in general.
"Then I left, leaving him with only one goal...revenge. He would get stronger, stronger then me...and then...when he killed me...he would come back to Konoha a hero...but I had planned on telling him the truth before I died...I wanted him to live a strong life, capable of protecting the ones he cared for, unlike me. I wasn't able to protect them..." Kagome had tears in her eyes at this point.
"I...I have somewhere to be." Sasuke stood and left the room.
-x-x-x-
Neji who was sitting in the living room glairing at the blue fish Akatsuki member turned to look at the one who just opened the door.
"Uchiha, what's wrong with you?"
"What are you talking about? Does it look like something is wrong with me?" He put his hands in his pocket and started out of the room in his normal façade, only this time...this time his eyes held confusion, hurt and...fear...
"He just needs some time Neji. Now, come on Sharki, your next." She let the barrier drop completely and watched him stand and walk into the room that she, Itachi and Sesshoumaru had just been in.
"Itachi, Neji, you two can wait for me with Deidara and Sasori in my room...and yes, I know it looks girlie."
-x-x-x-
The three watched as he left into the guest room.
"Girlie?" Neji opened the door and his eyes widened.
"Hey Itachi, I see your brother didn't kill you, yeah." Deidara said as he looked up from his spot on the bed. Sasori was now going through the CD's on the ground, from Coldplay, Relient K and Papa Roach to Bowling for Soup, Hinder and Nickelback.
"At least his CD's aren't too girlie,"
Sesshoumaru smirked but said nothing as he sat down with his back against the wall.
-x-x-x-
Tsunade usually didn't mind talking with Kakashi, his over exaggerated stories were always fun to listen to...but this was a little much.
"—then all of a sudden a rabid kitten jumped out and started attacking the older woman and I had to step in..."
What made it worse...Naruto...Lee...Guy...Hinata...they were following it word for word. Hinata didn't know better, since she didn't know of his many excuses...but the other three...were ridiculous!
"—it threw me into a dark cave; I heard a growl and turned to see..."
'...1...2..'
"—igest man eating land shark I had ever seen."
'..5...6...7'
"—had me trapped in its jaws, I could feel bones breaking and..."
'.9...SCREW COUNTING I NEED A DRINK!' Tsunade stood abruptly and stalked off to her desk where she pulled out three bottles of Saki.
"Oh, please, don't mind me...continue with this report on your life threatening mission in...Where was it again?"
"...hidden village of mist..."
'Liar...I never sent him to mist except with the Zabuza and Haku case...and technically it was the Hokage before me, and no one was even aware of the fact that Zabuza and Haku were involved until after they returned from the village hidden in the mist!'
-x-x-x-
"You're a real basket case, you know that!" Kagome stormed out of the room with a flustered look on her face, slamming the door to her room open and causing everyone aside from Itachi and Sesshoumaru to jump.
"I'LL KILL HIM! I WILL DRAG MY BLADE ACROSS HIS FUCKING THROAT!"
"What blade?" Sesshoumaru asked, the others staring at her nervously.
"...I WILL DRAG YOUR BLADE ACROSS HIS FUCKING THROAT!"
Deidara laughed.
"What did he do?" Neji asked.
"What did he...HE CALLED ME...TOOITS!" It was silent for a while before Deidara burst out laughing. Sasori was chuckling and Itachi, Neji and Sesshoumaru turned their heads away to hide their smile. "I'm sorry...did I say something...funny?" Her entire being started flaring and her eyes started glowing bright pink.
-x-x-x-
Deidara's eyes widened as he stopped laughing. Sesshoumaru looked at her and sighed.
"I have saved three today, I think I'm entitled to kill at least ONE!"
"Kagome, go take a walk...I'll deal with him."
"...fine..." They watched him simmer down and leave.
"That was..."
"Never go near he—him, when he is in that state. Each of you has a bloodline limit. That means, each of you has demon blood flowing through your veins. He will purify you in the state he was in. Understand?" They looked confused but nodded. He gave his own curt nod before leaving to deal with Kisame.
-x-x-x-
Gaara was sitting beneath a tree near the water, his brother and older sister had arrived a while ago and were resting in their rooms.
"—upid blue shark, rude and...GAH!"
He heard the sound of faraway yelling coming closer and closer. He turned as the person yelling broke through the bushes, leaves in his hair and a cut on his cheek from most likely a branch.
"How dare he! So rude...and bluntly saying it...he knows my secret...he doesn't need to flaunt the fact...Asshole!"
He raised a brow. "Who are you talking to?"
The boy jumped and turned around, only to see... "Sand boy..." ^.^
'Not my name...' T.T
