Chapter 6 :

.:. .:.

Sasuke flung himself forward and breathed deeply. He looked around the place that had held him for at least five days; the entrance was open and light filled the diamond cave. He looked down to his arms, covered in the black cloak he wore the previous night.

He felt new.

The Uchiha stood slowly, not wanting his eyes to cover in black from the sudden movement. He heard a 'ting', something fell. His eyes scanned the smooth flooring until they landed on a bright light of red. He bent down and picked it up to examine it.

'If something happens to me the flame will still.' Kage's voice rang through his head.

The flame was still.

Sasuke squinted at the gem annoyingly but placed it in his pocket of the cloak. He walked outside, the blue sky hung overhead, melting what little snow was left.

A loud and powerful explosion threw chunks of earth high into the sky along with black smoke far South which caught his charcoal eyes. "Hm." His muscles tensed. He felt so much stronger; as if the girl had turned back time and gave him new strength.
The Uchiha sprinted towards a series of explosions, activating his birthright in the process. It took only about four minutes to catch up to a large field that was once held beautiful grasses and flowers but now displayed fire and barren craters.

He saw a small figure dodging the explosions and identified it as the girl that had paralyzed him and had taken care of him, Kage.

.:.:.:.:.:.

"Stop moving, Un!" Deidara snapped from his clay bird soaring overhead. Kage looked up, jumping from another explosive clay creature. "As soon as you leave, I will!" The blonde male looked back to his comrades. "Hurry up and get Hidan her blood Yeah!"

Her body was worn from dodging. There were six Akatsuki against one girl: Deidara, Sasori, Hidan, Itatchi, Kakuzu and Kisame vs. Kage.

'Don't lag!' Tamiko roared in her ears. Kage flipped and dodged Sasori's wooden tail. The strong smell of poison drifted into my nose and made me cringe slightly. "She's quick."

"Of course she is. We underestimated her in our last encounter." Itatchi stood by Kisame, Sasori and Kakuzu. Hidan jumped at the blonde-haired female with his scythe to which she merely ducked under. "Bitch fucking clawed the shit out of me!" Kage kicked upwards, her heel connected with his jaw with a sickening crack.

While he stumbled back, holding his jaw and popping it back into place, she retreated some, still maneuvering over Deidara's bombs. He made the bad choice of flying low and trying to hit her close with an ant-looking clay model when she maneuvered her body over him and on the clay animal that acted as his transportation.
"Diamond Technique : Gem's Prison!"

He reached back to knock her off, but their fists connected and his body was slowly encased by Kage's birthright. Once he was fully surrounded by the shining gem, she jumped off of the clay bird as it fell to the ground; it's master unable to control it now that he was imprisoned. She could see Deidara's blue eyes glaring at her as she covered her hands in the unbreakable gem. Hidan rushed at the girl, followed by Sasori's long, poison dipped tail. Kage connected her fist to Sasori's tail, grabbing the wooden appendage and covering it with the heavy stone.

Hidan ran at her, to which was side-stepped easily; the Jashinist was slow after all.

What she wasn't able to dodge was a large ball of fire racing at her and the silver-haired male. Her body was pushed back and scorched, crashing into a tree that soon fell over from the power. Something caught her eye; a man. She looked on until her eyes adjusted, it was Sasuke.

Kage's eyes widened at him, she was caught off-guard. Another ball of strong fire blasted into her battered body; forcing her through two more trees. She felt to weak to get up since this all started after she had left the young Uchiha. She never had time to recover from the chakra she used on him.

'Don't let them get you!' Tamiko commanded. Every time Kage blinked, she could see his fiery, electric-blue eyes look at her.

Kage could only watch as Hidan walked up to her and smirked. He raised the end of his scythe, determined to knock her out, though was pushed back when she used the last of her strength to cover herself if the diamond. Kage made a cell around her so they couldn't touch her while she rested. The stone went down deep into the crust of the earth. Pein himself would have trouble getting to her. The young girl's body rested against the wall as she watched the other members of the Akatsuki walk to Hidan. He was hitting the diamond with his scythe, trying to get to blonde.

"Diamond breaks diamond doesn't it?" Sasori struggled to lift his tail.

Itatchi scanned the wall and his encased tail. "It does, though her chakra is flowing through the stone she touches." He stated. I hated that damn Sharingan. "It would take a few days for a regular diamond to break through the one she's in."

Hidan growled. "Stupid bitch!"

Kage flipped him off and smirked weakly, pointing her finger at him. "What the fuck are you pointing at bitch?" He yelled, hitting the surface again. A spear came from the wall and pierced Hidan's hand. It encased his entire arm before I cut the connection. The Jashinist howled and cursed as I ripped his arm off of his body. I smirked at his loss. "Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be unable to jack off?"

"Fuck you!" He screamed.

Itatchi looked to Kakuzu and Sasori. "We will go back and report this. Grab Deidara will you Kakuzu?"

The stitched man nodded and wrapped his thread around the body before he and Sasori disappeared.

"Stay and make sure she doesn't escape." The Uchiha told Kisame, who nodded and laid against a tree.

He left without another word.

.:.:.:.:.

Kisame bit into a piece of dried meat he hand taken out of his bag. Everything was quiet besides Hidan's grumbling of curses.

"You know," Kisame said loudly, catching the girl's attention. "it's not as bad as you think. Being apart of the Akatsuki I mean."

her eyes rolled at his words. "I know what you guys do."

"And what would that be?" He looked at her with his shark-influenced eyes.

Kage's own eyes locked in with his, matching his intimidation. "You want to get the tailed beasts to get world domination. That's your big plan, isn't it?"

"How did you figure that out?"

"I come from a family of priests and priestess. I can tell your future dumbass."

"No need to get hostel." Kisame held his hands up. He lowered them quickly though. "So you can tell how someone is going to die, right?"

She nodded. "Why am I even talking to you?"

"Could you tell mine?" He raised a brow and bit into the dried meat.

The blonde twisted her lips into a frown. "I could."

"Would you?"

"Will you let me leave?"

"I can't just let you walk out of here." He stated bluntly.

She smirked. "Well I can't just tell you how you're going to die."

.:.:.:.:.

Both of the Aktsuki members fell asleep shortly after Kage refused to tell Kisame his death date and she had been slowly driving a tunnel into the ground with her birth right. Her energy and chakra had been restored, so she felt like leaving. A smirk made it's way on her lips.
By the time the idiots knew she was gone, Kage would be far off.

.:.:.:.:.:.

Itatchi looked at Kisame and Hidan blankly. "We have permission to break the structure as long as the girl comes out alive."

"Where the fuck is Kakuzu?" Hidan's loud voice echoed to Itatchi.

The Uchiha looked fully to him. "They are trying to get Deidara out of the confinement he was put in with the piece that Sasori's tail was in. What happened to your arm." His voice was so mono toned it didn't even seem like a question.

"That fucking bitch took it off!" The Jashinist growled, holding the giant stone that imprisoned said appendage.

Kisame snickered. "At least it was your left arm."

Itatchi handed Kisame a large fragment of diamond. "Please begin."
