"Kaya, Sasuke, Katana!" Sakura and Hinata called looking around but got no reply. They kept looking for a few hours or more till Inari called out and they all when over to them. They looked at the ground with Kaya and Sasuke knocked uncourteous. Sasuke was fine but Kaya had the gash across her stomach and a small burn mark there but other then that she was fine. They looked around them but Katana was nowhere to be soon and come to think of it nether was Kiba.

"Hay, where did Kiba go!?" Sakura said out loud looking around and Naruto put a hand on her shoulder.

"Well if Katana's not here then maybe she's somewhere else and Akamaru picked up on her scent and they went to find her," Sakura sat down with them and they took care of Kaya and Sasuke.

Kiba and Akamaru were running for at least an hour or so before they come to a river in a clearing. They ran to it and out onto the grass looking around. They saw something near the bank of the river and walked over looking at it. Kiba bent down and turned in around.

"Katana!" Kiba said in astonishment and moved his hand from her back looking at it and the red blood on his hand. "What happened?" he looked around to see if anything was around but no one or thing was there. He signed and sat down next to her putting her head on his lap looking down at her. After a few minutes or as it seemed hours Katana started to steer and moved off his lap and went into the water and moments later she jumped out of the water wide wake and alert looking around then at Kiba and blinked.

"Uh... when did you get here?" she asked sitting down looking around.

"A long time ago, what happened to you?"

"Um... nothing,"

"And that's why you have a gash down your back with blood coming out of it?" Kiba said sarcastically. Katana put a hand on her back and looked at her hand in front of her then made a guilty smile.

"Got into a fight with an idiot, ran into Kaya and she helped me, Sasuke was out as well but I don't know when they come out." Katana said knowing exactly what she was going to get asked next and continued. "Zabuza Momochi attacked me cause I wouldn't tell him where Kakashi-sensei was and then we started to get into a fight then I ran into Kaya when I was running, and Zabuza attacked both of us we fort. Haku come out of nowhere and was fighting us as well so we fort both of them and I..." Katana trailed off and her mind went back to it and she held back the tears wanting to fall. No even after one second did she feel Kiba hugging her and she just curled up hugging him as well.

"Why are you so scared?" he asked looking down at her and she looked up at him and sighed.

"He said something before all the fighting that scared me and also made me really mad." Katana said and looked at him then at the water flowing past her feet in it.

"And what was that?" Kiba asked pulling her into his lap, hugging her around the waist with his chin on her shoulder.

"He asked me if I checked on you guys before I left, and I said what did he do with you, he said nothing as of yet..." she said and looked at him as he lifted his chin up and looked at her in a questioning way but was really shocked when she turned around in his grip, hugged him around the neck and kissed him knocking him to the ground with her on top of him on her knees and elbows. Kiba blinked but shrugged it off, closed his eyes and pulled her right to him making it impossible for her to get up and run for it at any point.

"Ow!" Kaya grumbled rubbing her head while slowly opening her eyes and looked around her and to her side where Sasuke sat awake talking to everyone. "What happened?"

"You should know that seeing as you knocked yourself out with your Chakra but we don't know where Katana is but we guess if the force was that much she's somewhere out there," Sasuke said and helped her up and Kaya blinked then remember what had happened.

"Oh yeah that, oh well... plus Katana can take care of herself though she does have that gash across her back,"

"Across her back!?" Inari yelled and ran over to Kaya. "Is she okay,"

"Hay, calm down, kid. Katana will be fine she knows how to handle herself and how to deal with things, don't worry she'll come back and talk to you again." Kaya reasoned him and gave him a small hug and he did to.

"Are you okay?" he asked and Kaya looked at her stomach.

"Yeah, I'll be fine, it's just a cut nothing serious." she smiled. Naruto walked over to her and said in her ear.

"As you say," with a laugh and walked off away from her with everyone, Kakashi-sensei help her up and her and Sasuke walked together near Kakashi-sensei as they looked for Katana, Kiba and Akamaru.

"What the?" Kiba blinked when Katana moved away with her eyes still closed but when she was a fair way away from him she opened her eyes and looked at him.

"What?" Katana asked blankly trying to get up then realised Kiba still had a tight grip around her so she couldn't get up.

"What was that about, Katana?" Kiba asked still holding on and looked at her.

"What was what all about?" Katana asked innocently getting onto her elbows again.

"You know what I'm talking about," he shook his head slightly, slowly sitting up holding onto her and she grabbed onto his shoulders when he suddenly moved then relaxed and looked at him with a rather guilty smile across her lips.

"Well... I don't know... I just kinda did it," Katana said silently looking away. Kiba smiled and hugged Katana again and Katana went stiff. She slowly turned her head to the side and looked at Kiba. She sighed at how calm and peaceful he looked. Katana looked around and laid her head back on Kiba's shoulder looking at him as Akamaru walked over and barked a little, Katana smiled picked him up and put him on her lap patting him and he lay happily. They were quiet for a few minutes then the trees started to rule and Katana jumped up and pulled her sword out holding it in front of her. Inari ran out of then and Katana dropped her sword and to her knees when she saw him crying running to her with his arms opened. He ran as fast as he could and tripped on his own feet. Katana automatically put her sword in it's sheath and jumped so the ground in front of Inari and hugged him as tight as she could and he did to her crying into her top. Katana was making soothing noises to calm him down and it worked then a few moments later Kaya and the others walked out and looked at them. Kurenai-sensei and Kakashi-sensei walked over to Katana and was about to ask her something but she looked up at them with a stay quiet or he'll start crying again look and they stepped away and went over to Kiba and Akamaru and the others follow while Katana sat there with Inari trying to calm him down. After a few minutes Katana slowly walked back over to everyone with Inari in her arms fast asleep hugging her. She looked at them and her sensei's nodded and in a flash she was gone.

"Where's Katana going?" Hinata asked looking at where Katana was just moments ago.

"She took Inari back home and he wasn't going to let go of her any time soon so she had to go with him unless she tried to give him to one of us but I don't think he would have let go of her," Kurenai-sensei said with a sigh.

"What is it Kurenai-sensei?" Kiba asked looking at her and she gave a small smile.

"It's just," she started think on how she would say this. "She's changed since she became a ninja and is well uh...."

"What, sensei?" Kaya asked looking up from the ground that she was staring at.

"I don't know," Kurenai-sensei said. "She has a dream and is willing to give up everything to get there but she also lets herself get hurt at the rist and safety of her fellow ninja."

"But that's what behind a ninja is about, isn't it?" Naruto asked really confused. Kurenai-sensei looked at Kakashi-sensei and he sighed.

"Yes Naruto it is but..." he went into everything and explained it all to them pointing out things they hadn't noticed of forgotten.

"So your saying she might leave the village?" Sasuke said making sure he had everything straight.

"I'm not sure but..." Kakashi-sensei started but was cut off by a girl from behind Sasuke.

"That's what he is saying Sasuke," she sighed. "I might leave at one point in my life here at the Leaf Village and go find the reminders of the Kasuma clan and the Water Village that took me in." Katana sadly said and everyone snapped up looking at her.

"But you can't!" Kaya complained and jumped up.

"It's what I have to do and I'm sorry but that's not going to change, It's going to be the

Hardest thing I ever do in my life and I don't what to but I have to and I have things to sort out with some people." Katana said in a really sorry sad voice with a hint of anger but not towards her friends.

"Come on, youngsters. We should be getting back,"

"Yeah, but there's a problem," Katana said sounding a lot more angry now.

"What is it, Katana?" Shino asked standing up.

"The village was attacked while we've been out here." she growled a little and walked back to the trees bringing Inari, Tsunami and Tazuna out of them with a few others.

"What?"

"I'm going back, Kurenai-sensei and Kakashi-sensei I need you two to stay and take care of these villagers. No-ones been killed or anything but I need you's to take care of them." Katana said and looked at them.

"Katana, what are you going to do?"

"Something I should have done years ago," she said and jumped off. Kaya looked at the other Genin and they all went after Katana.

"Katana!" Kaya called but Katana kept running as fast as she could and Kaya sighed.

"Can any one catch up to her?"

"How should we know?" Naruto said and looked at Katana a few metres in front of them and looked at everyone.

"Kiba, can you catch up to her and stop her?" Kaya asked looking at him and he blinked at her.

"I'll try," he said and ran off after Katana and only just caught up to her before she could reach the end of the forest.

"Katana," he said and she looked at him with hard and cold eyes with a soft look. He could see her fear and sadness. "is it them?" Katana nodded and stopped turning around to their friends and closed her eyes wishing they had stayed with Kakashi-sensei and Kurenai-sensei.

"Katana, who is it attacking?" Sakura asked.

"The Akatsuki," Katana said simply and looked at them all landing on Sasuke who wasn't looking very happy. "What is it Sasuke?"

"Nothing,"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Just..." he told them all about it and Katana was the first to jump up and disappear out of site and at the village. And they heard her scream out.

"Pein, Get your ass out here now!" Katana looked around and she could hear that same laughter from her dream. She grint her teeth and clinched her fists.

"Well, its about time you showed up, Demon." one of the voices said as they walked in front of her. Her light blue Chakra flared off her hands and she punched then in the face.

"What the hell are you doing here!?" she growled glaring at them.

"We have reasons."

"Let me guess looking for me to get the demon from within me, well today's your lucky day cause I'm here so come and get it!" Katana sneared and got off them as 8 other ninja walked out.

"Well that's a relief I was getting tired of looking for you," a girl said and flexed her hands.

"Don't hurt the girl, Konan." Pein said and walked over to Katana. "Well it's been a while,"

"Yeah, well I finally know how I can kill you," Katana said looked up and him and turned her head away from him.

"Oh yeah, is there any Itachi's around?" she grinned.

"What do you want brat!?" Itachi said and walked over to her.

"Oh I don't want anything to do with you but I know someone who would love to see you again,"

"And who would that be?"

"You should know him, I mean after all he is your younger brother from the Uchiha clan witch you slaughtered!" she spat watching his face carefully changing emotion.

"You know, Sasuke?"

"Yeah and he would love to see you again." Katana said and next thing she could hear birds but knew it wasn't real birds when a lightening blue light shone from behind her and Sasuke ran at him elder brother.

"You little..." Konan started but Katana was gone within a second. "Where did she go?"

"Look up," Katana said, Konan looked up and saw Katana there but something was majorly wrong with her. She had red eyes and a wicked grin across her face with blood running down her arms and along her back.

"What the?"

"Oh that, its nothing just Zabuza's mistake." Katana said and pulled her sword out with it right at Konan. Konan moved out of the way, when Katana landed she looked up in a flash as the fish like guy swang his sword. She moved to the side as it slammed on the ground where she had been a heartbeat ago. She glared at him and ran right at him with her sword ready to kill him. He moved out of the way just in time and Katana's sword just cut him in the side she stopped and spun around.

"So how do you know it was us that killed that clan and the village?" Pein said.

"I remember that vial laughter and the horrific way you tortured people, I don't forget such things. Especially when I was in the water village, the only way I knew it was you is because you set the village on fire and laughed at their suffering and my pain." Katana said and Pein smiled.

"So how would you remember my name?"

"Well lets just say the voices are hard to forget." she said and moved out of the way when the fish guy swang his sword again. "i know what that sword of your can do, if it hits me then it'll take my Chakra and eat it well guess what buddy, that's not happening!" Katana snapped and jumped right away from the guy, putting her sword in it's sheath and clapped her hands together, making hand-signs.

Ready Sara? She thought talking to the Jaguar inside of her.

If I can get out of here then lets go! She growled back. Katana grinned. Release! She thought and Chakra started to flare off her in black, dark blue with red. She eyes snapped open and they were fully fiery red filled with hatred aimed at the Akatsuki. Kiba and the others froze but jumped out and started to fight the other Akatsuki members leaving Pein, Konan and the fish guy to her.

"So this is the demon?" Pein said. "Come to us demon."

It growled at him. "Never!" it sprinted at them and in a flash it was on Konan with her defenceless against the Jaguar. She stared at the Jaguar in shock and was frozen. The Jaguar bit down and killed Konan without any mercy. Sara knew Katana didn't like it but Katana knew it had to be done. They turned to the guy with the weird sword and in a flash were at his throat killing him in an instant. Without any thought about Pein, Sara ran off out of there and to any lake near by besides the one Kakashi-sensei and Kurenai-sensei and the other villagers were at. As soon as Sara could smell water she ran for it and ran right into the water with out a second thought and turned back into Katana and she was washing her mouth out thermally and as much as she could. Washing herself as much as she could to get the feeling away.

Katana ran as fast as she could back to the village and looked around as Kakashi-sensei and Kurenai-sensei brought the villagers back. She looked around but she couldn't find anyone anywhere. She ran to Inari's house and found everyone there.

"Where's Kiba!?" Katana snapped as soon as she came to a stop in front of them all. They shrugged and she turned and ran off without another word. Kaya was about to go after Katana but Sasuke lightly grabbed her arm and held her back as Katana disappeared in applause horror and worry. Katana ran all the way to the bridge with people starting to build it again and the guy who offered her to help looked up as she went running around.

"Are you alright?" he asked and she stopped.

"Have you seen a boy in a grey far jacket with a white puppy anywhere?" she asked in a rush.

"No, I'm sorry but is everything okay,"

"Yeah, thank-you." Katana said and ran off again looking for Kiba and Akamaru.
