Karinka: Oh come on! Now I have to do the intro!

Saki: You deserve it, whore.

Karinka: Watch your mouth before I cut off that pretty tongue of yours!

Naruto: Sadistic are we?

Karinka: You should know by now.

Naruto: (grumbles)

Karinka: Let's get this over with.

Saki: Fine… Here is Karinka's Devastating Power!

"I would like to see you try, sister." Karinka grinned before she went to Naruto, not even caring about the brown haired angel.

Saki's face dropped at the blonde angel's comment before her fist tightened even more. Without hesitation, she leapt towards Karinka with her fist pulled back before striking at Karinka. "Keep away from him!"

The dual heart angel back flipped and dodged Saki's fist as it put a small hole into a tree she was standing next to. Her grin further increased as she saw this before she jumped onto a branch above. "Well, it seems you are serious about fighting me for him. Then I shall not hold back."

Saki suddenly gasped for air as Karinka was suddenly on her, driving her fist into her chest. Stumbling back, she tried to push her back, but the blonde suddenly was gone before she felt another blow to the right side of her stomach.

Grimacing, Saki used the force of the blow to roll away from her attacker before quickly searching for the blonde angel. But she could see nothing at all before she heard a whisper behind her. "Too slow."

Gasping in surprise, Saki felt a blade enter through the back of her chest, aimed straight for her angel heart. If it wasn't for her quick reaction by jumping forward, she would have been taken from the living world.

Panting heavily, she slowly stood up before glancing over towards Karinka, who was laughing at the brown haired angel. "Oh man! This is too rich. You can't even hold a candle to me yet you are still acting like you have a chance!"

"I… I won't let you… Take my master away. Not… Not while I still have a single breath in my body!" Saki yelled before an overwhelming aura surrounded her before she off towards Karinka.

Karinka was suddenly knocked back as Saki landed a powerful punch to her face. Growling at the stinging sensation in her face, he drove her knee into Saki's stomach, but the brown haired angel threw a series of punches, each connecting and knocking the dual heart angel back before she jumped away from her and landed on top of a tree.

"God dammit! What is with her? She wasn't this strong in the simulation!" Karinka growled out as she looked down at Saki, who jumped towards her. "Shit! I'm going to have to kick this up a notch!"

Soon as Saki reached Karinka, the dual heart angel was glowing a sickly green coloration. Throwing a punch to her face, Karinka easily caught it before smirking as she drove her knee between Saki's chest and stomach.

The air rushed out of Saki's lungs as she collapsed and fell to the ground below, just bracing herself as she hit the ground. She hissed as a kunai embedded itself in the back of her left thigh and she avoided the next as Karinka used Naruto's weapons liberally. But before she could get away, Saki screamed out as Karinka landed on top of her before driving one of her heels into her back.

"That's what you get for messing with the best!" Karinka emphasized her point by stomping on her spine after each and every word, increasing the strength after each blow.

Hearing Saki's screams, Naruto tried to move from where he was. Grunting, he gripped the kunai in his stomach with his one mobile hand, despite his wrist being broken, before pulling it out. Blood gushed from his gut as he fell to his knees as he grabbed his stomach, trying to halt to flow.

His vision began to blur, but he knew what he needed to do. He had to help Saki as together, they stood a chance and could last enough for the pervert to get there.

Karinka groaned as she saw the blonde pull himself off and fall to the ground. Knowing Saki wasn't a threat any longer, Karinka waled away from Saki before head over to Naruto, picking him up by his collar when she was besides him. "You little bastard. I don't need you to die. I need you alive so I can get that pink bimbo over here before you pass on to the next world."

Pulling out some wire, Karinka dropped the blonde before pulling his hands behind him and tying his hands behind his back. Then she quickly and roughly put him up against a tree and began tying him up, keeping him from going anywhere.

Saki's eyes widened as she saw Karinka tied Naruto to the tree. Seeing the blood seeping from the wound in his stomach, Saki found new strength. But she knew despite this new strength she wouldn't be able to take out the dual heart angel. So she had to get her as far away from Naruto as possible.

Pushing herself off the ground, Saki panted laboriously before she pulled the kunai out of her thigh and threw it at Karinka to catch her attention. Seeing that she caught it on reflex, Saki executed her plan as she sprinted towards the blonde Steel Angel.

Karinka was surprised by such a straight forward attack, but was ready for it. Just as she was about to prepare a counter to Saki's attack, the brown haired angel jumped up and grabbed a tree branch before planting both feet into Karinka's chest and knocking her away from Naruto.

Letting go and kneeling down besides her master, Saki closed her eyes before kissing him gently on the forehead. "I'm sorry master, but I believe this is the end. They should be here soon, so take care… and stay out of trouble."

"Saki… But…" Naruto tried to speak before he began to cough viciously, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Not giving him a chance to question what she was going to do, Saki pulled out a few kunai from Naruto's pouch. Standing up, Saki charged towards Karinka once more, feigning her next attack. Soon as she was on Karinka, she jumped to the side and threw the kunai she took from his pouch before running into the brush.

Dodging each one, Karinka growled before she chased after the brown haired angel, not wanting to leave a job unfinshed. "Get back here you bitch!"

As Karinka began to catch her, tears fell from Saki as she used every ounce of her strength to get as far as she could as fast as she could. She couldn't allow her to capture her master and sister no matter what. Even if she had to sacrifice herself to do it, they were more important as there was something about the two.

But it wasn't long till Karinka had caught her and drove her shoulder into the back of her spine and slammed her into and through a tree.

Watching Saki skid against the ground, Karinka growled as she noticed how far she was from her original target before jumping in front of Saki and viciously growled as she picked her up by her collar. "God dammit you damn bitch! I can't go back and get him now as I can't take on that white haired bastard and that pink haired bimbo together!"

As the words left her tongue, Karinka suddenly smirked sadistically as she looked at Saki as she struggled to get up. Driving her foot into her stomach to flip Saki, Karinka quickly followed by stomping down into the top of her chest. "Now, now. I can't have you struggling. I can still complete my plan if I improvise a little… Starting with you, my bait."

Saki's eyes widened as she began to realize what Karinka was going to do before everything went black as Karinka smashed her foot into her temple.

"Master! Master where are you, desu?!" Kurumi yelled as she jumped onto a branch, searching for Naruto as she was just let out of the lab. "Come on Ero-sennin! We have to find master and Saki!"

Jiraiya grumbled, not liking the fact that Naruto had taught Kurumi to call him Ero-sennin and even explained to her what it meant.

Still, the brat was missing as well as Saki. There were also some very disturbing clues that he hadn't revealed to Kurumi, letting her be as he didn't want to risk another awakening of the fox inside of her. There was no doubt that there was a battle in the area; that much he could tell from the chakra residue in the air. In fact, it seemed mostly to be Naruto's meaning that his opponent barely used any.

That disturbed him further as in the six months, Naruto had become as physically strong as some jounin in the village and to be taken down this quickly was stunning.

It could have been the Akatsuki, but he doubted it as they were on a three year hiatus, or so his informant told him. It could have been a task force from other villages to come after him and they captured Naruto to use as bait, but the odds of that were low as he was on good terms with most of the shinobi nations.

But then who could it be?

"ERO-SENNIN! WAKE UP!" Kurumi, who somehow managed to get by his senses and right besides him, suddenly screamed into his ear.

The result was Jiraiya falling of the tree and hitting the ground head first as he grabbed his ears from the ear drum bursting screech known as Kurumi screaming.

Kurumi only sweat dropped as she looked down to see Jiraiya lay on the ground for a few moments, unmoving except for a few twitches of his leg. "Woops. Maybe I over did it, desu.'

Jiraiya suddenly jumped back up as his senses were on alert as he felt a small chakra source nearby. He wasn't sure whose it was at first as it felt so petit, as if it was fading away, but then a sudden burst let both Jiraiya and Kurumi know who it was.

"MASTER! KURUMI'S COMING!" Kurumi yelled before she took off towards the direction of the chakra burst and was a blur to the naked eye.

Jiraiya quickly followed her, knowing something was not right for Naruto to be calling upon Kyuubi's chakra as the boy had become quite powerful without it. He quickly realized what it was when he saw Naruto bound to a tree, blood pouring out of his gut along with a kunai driven his left shoulder and a slight gash on his neck, obviously the work of a kunai.

"MASTER!" Kurumi screamed as she ran to his side and snapped the ninja wire that was used to bind him.

Soon as he was free, she gingerly embraced him, not caring about the red chakra flowing around him, placing his head firmly between her two breasts. "It's okay, desu. Kurumi is here now and no one will hurt you."

"Kurumi, get off him. You're not helping right now." Jiraiya ordered before he helped pry her off Naruto. "He needs some medical attention and I'm the only one in miles that can give him the proper medical care."

Kurumi only nodded as she let Jiraiya get to work in healing her master. She quickly relocated herself to his right side and cupped his hand and held firmly as he winced, not noticing his mending wrist, while Jiraiya began to work on his stomach, his hands glowing like a medics.

Naruto's eyes slowly began to flicker open and soon as he did, he saw a blur of pink hovering over him.

"Kurumi?" Naruto said weakly as he quickly recognized the tuff of pink hair.

"Yes master, I'm here! What do you want of Kurumi?" Kurumi squeaked, speaking of herself in third person again, not even noticing that she did.

Grimacing at the tone of her voice and the amount of pain he was in, not to mention the pain of his wounds mending, Naruto sighed as he leaned his head forward. "Thank God… She's finally… SAKI! Where is Saki?!"

"Calm down Naruto. If you don't, your wounds will widen." Jiraiya stated, getting Naruto to concentrate on himself first as he healed him. "Now, tell us what happened?"

Naruto shook his head as he looked around, trying to find the brown haired Steel Angel. "I got ambushed by the Karinka model… The Akatsuki built her and sent her after both Kurumi and myself. She just happened to find me first. I nearly managed to defeat her… But she snapped my wrist before I could stop her hearts with a Rasengan."

"Dammit! So that's were Dr. Ayanakouji was… The Akatsuki kidnapped him and forced him to work on Karinka." Jiraiya cursed as he continued mending the stomach as that was the critical injury, hoping the good doctor was okay.

Finishing, he move to the shoulder to see it was mostly healed. "Hm, the fox takes care of your injuries quickly. Now what this about Saki?"

The blonde's eyes widened before he attempted to stand, only to be kept down by both Jiraiya and Kurumi. "Saki… She must have led Karinka away from her from me!"

"That's right, blonde." Karinka's voice sounded from above.

Everyone's eyes were suddenly on the blonde haired angel as she stood on the trees above them, no longer wearing the Akatsuki cloak and instead wearing a very revealing blue and red stewardess uniform with no leggings. "Now I'm holding her prisoner in a little place that only you will know of, Kurumi. It's in your memory, so it shouldn't be hard to find."

Gazing over to the white haired man, Karinka grinned before throwing a kunai down with a piece of Saki's uniform attached to it. "If you try to follow her old man, I won't hesitate to kill her. I only want Kurumi, no one else. So come and meet me in the place of your memories, Kurumi."

As if she wasn't there to begin with, Karinka vanished into thin air.

Jiraiya cursed as Karinka disappeared as he was the first to realize what had just happened. "Dammit! That was only an astral image!"

Both his and Naruto's eyes slowly turned to Kurumi, who had let go of Naruto's hand as her hands balled into fists. Both could see the rage growing in her eyes and her eyes uncontrolably flashed red every couple of seconds. "This is unforgivable, desu. Not only did she hurt my master, she's taken my sister! I will not let her get away with this!"

Before either could react, Kurumi burst into the air, using the tree tops as foot, heading to where she needed to go. She didn't know how she knew where it was it, but she instinctively knew. She felt that Saki was there.

"Don't worry Saki. I'm on my way, desu!"

Karinka: Man! That is two weaklings in a row! I'm on a roll!

Kurumi: Not so fast! You haven't dealt with me yet, desu!

Karinka: Oh, don't you worry. You're coming up soon.

Naruto: …Damn. I think the author favors you…

Karinka: Duh. I'm his avatar. Plus I'm his second favorite character of all time, only trailing KOS-MOS.

Kurumi: That's a good point, desu.

Naruto: (sighs) Learning of Saki's capture, Kurumi goes to the place of her memories to find Karinka waiting for her. But what is it that Karinka truly up to? Find that out in the next chapter, Karinka's True Plan.

Karinka: The author would also like to let you know that reviews are appreciated and questions are appreciated even more. He also wants you to know that these chapters are purposely short and meant more as stress relievers for the author. Now get the hell out of here before I decide I want to play with you. (cracks knuckles and grins sadistially)
