-----------------------------------Chapter 12 :Angels and Demons and Both

The screaming was numbing my ears, it was non-stop unbelieveable, and not only that, painful for the first time, it was real pain, not only was my head throbbing, but I was nausous along with the flashes of color along with it feeling like I'd just been running through the desert and no matter how much I tried to I couldn't relax or calm down,

Jiraiya always knew how bad I was, the school called him, I even passed out right infront of him, but this seemed to be the only time he was worried about me, standing just outside my door so he couldn't bug me. But what was bugging me was that I could tell exactly where he was, every breath he was taking, and just how much he was worried, cause' I could hear his racing heart too,

Iruka called and told him about Sasuke, how Orochimaru had asked for adoption papers with Sasuke's consent, and how Iruka couldn't find a legal reason not to give them. And I knew this cause I could also hear Iruka's voice on the phone, from my room with a closed door,

I have no idea what's happening to me! but, the madder I get the less everything hurts, but, I can't get mad, because, cause'... cause I feel myself losing control the madder I get,

I noticed it- who knows how long ago, I don't even know how long I've been laying on the bed,- I was actually making myself get madder when I noticed it made the pain slim, but then I realized I was moving on my own, fidgiting and rolling and sitting up, the madder I got the less I had control over my own body, so I had to stay calm, stay in pain, and attempt to stay sane,

I can't take it anymore! I start thinking of anything, to test and see what might help, I tried to imagine these past few months were a dream and I woke up and everything was fine, I imagined walking down the stairs to the kitchen and Konohamaru was talking about some weird dream he had, about the cartoons he watched the night before, and the the smell of Iruka making breakfast cause' we finally ran out of leftovers, Kiba and Shino bickering as quietly as possible so Iruka wouldn't scold them, but then that one moment came when I sat down at the table and it was time for the last piece of the puzzle to walk down those stairs I've fallen down- and up- so many times,

Sasuke walks through the doorway, smacking me upside the head before sitting down right next to me, and I noticed that I noticed, things I didn't know I noticed. I almost stopped myself from nameing things off, but I realized the screaming was quiet and didn't want it to come back,

Every rinkle in his shirt, every piece of his dark black hair that wasn't brushed down yet cause he doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks he looks like, the dark in his eyes that still managed to have so much light, and for a second I actually believed I was there, the bickering and chatting in the background became so much more real and detailed, Iruka moved around more then I could've imagined he would on my own, Sasuke acted too perfect, like I always deny he does, and I couldn't let myself imagine it, that's when I realized that, this was the scene, the scene that happened right before, on a sunday morning right before we ate breakfast, right before Iruka said he was going to the grocery store, right before I put fake vomit in everyones shoes cause they wouldn't come with me and the little kids to the park, the exact moment, just hours before the monster in my mind made itself known,

I sat up in the bed, everything was gone, except the screaming that was just like it was in the beginning, strong enough to be bothered by but not to hurt like it was just seconds before,

I don't know how, why, or if there was even an explaination for the address that popped into my head. I just knew it was where Sasuke was, I decided to calm for a second, make sure everything was real, hold myself from jumping out of bed just yet. I picked up the IPod I had almost completely forgotten about, and that I still wouldn't remember if it wasn't right on my lap- which I'm sure it wasn't before,

I could still tell everything around me, Jiraiya was in his room, not that I could see, but I just had a hunch, and lately I've actually had alot of hunches that turned out to be right, that he was dreaming about something I should listen in on, but all I could really think about was leaveing. I trusted my gut that that was what it was about, turning the IPod to the part where it only just hit the exact tone of the screams,

My secret side I keep

Hid under lock and key

I keep it caged but I can't control it

cause' if I let him out

He'll tear me up-break me down

Why won't somebody save me from this

make it end?

I feel it deep within

it's just beneath the skin

I must confess that I-

feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster

It's hidin' in the dark

it's teeth are razor sharp

There's no escape for me

It wants my soul-it wants my heart

no one can hear me scream

maybe it's just a dream

Or maybe it's inside of me

STOP THIS MONSTER

I feel it deep within

It's just beneath the skin

I must confess that I-

Feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster!

Hmpf,

End of the song I was already sneaking through Ichiraku, I touched the handle to make sure there wasn't an alarm, and since nobody would steal cold ramen leftovers there wasn't, I opened the door and darted out,

Going to the right, I passed by the tiny alley way in-between Ichiraku and an apartment next door,

There infront of me, was every member of the Recovoring Demons Club. In the order of Han, Kirabi, Yugito Utakata Fuu and Yagura, all on eachothers shoulders infront of one of the windows. Roshi and Gaara stood lazily on the ground, Gaara looked like he was about to burst out laughing and Roshi was already laughing from the sight of the mini acrobatics show,

"Naruto!"

"How'd you get there?!" Yagura yelled, like even the little genius couldn't guess my IQ was high enough to be able to break out of my own apartment.

".....I, used the door," I said slowly, pointing to the entrance. Yagura growled and Gaara finally let that chuckle burst as they started to wobble and fall down. Yagura hit hard agenst the wall behind them but I knew the regular recovoring time by now. I laughed, reliefing myself of any final stress and picked Fuu up and led her and my parade of runaways to Sasuke's new house,

-------------Three hours later

Do I really need to go into detail about the trip? I could now put it as about one in the morning and I had the entire RDC club following me, everybody was whineing about the cold that didn't really bother them, that they needed to go to the bathroom, and that they all came to me because- to put it simply- The had a feeling I needed them, which, I now had a feeling I really was going too,

"Anyway," Yagura said, almost pouting next to me, he was the only one not rambleing on constantly, slash whining, slash rapping, besides Gaara who stuck close to me on the other side, "why are we coming with you?" Everyone had heard the gossip of what happened with Sasuke, but my split-second choice to go get him wasn't on the radar of course,

"You don't know?"

"Do any of us know?" Gaara said dramaticly calm,

I looked at him, our eyes locked and I figured we were thinking the same, "We just want too,"

"Well, do you have a address in your head?" Yagura said almost nervously,

"What's yours!?" Yugito yelled in the background running up to be along side us,

I don't have to show that everyone named off the same address, 1366 Dawn Apartments, which, I also don't have to say is where Sasuke said a while ago was where he narrowed his brothers where-abouts, a run-down area inbetween Namikaze and Oto,

"So, does this mean?" Yagura was still trying to find a logical explanation,

"It means we're going," I growled at him, still annoyed he couldn't just let it go,

Not that I'm calling us all 'special' or saying we have 'gifts'. That's not my excuse, we all have the same curse, that we need to deal with, and use to our advantage. And, actually, now that I'm really thinking straight, I'm realizeing.... just how extreamly gay I've been sounding the past few days,

Really, ugh, so pathetic, I went completely girl on myself, so ashamed,

But anyway, time for this little group of runaways to kick some serious pedo-butt, looking around at- Yagura, pouting that he's been over-ruled, Gaara smileing oh-so-proudly, and everyone sideing with me-cheering and stomping ahead like the lunatics we all are-... I'm also imagineing that we're all from the Runaways comics... I'm the leader guy!- wait, crap he dies.... Okay I'm the mexican robot guy, yeah, and Gaara can be super-cool Chase with telepathic Fuu-slash-Gert, hee, this is fun,

And whiney little Yagura is the Princess Powerful! haha! I've never loved free comic book day at the library so much!

Okay, we're close- or, here..... yeah we're here, back to serious leader-dude, "Sister Grimm! we must infiltrate!" I say cooly,

"I, am, NOT the korean bisexual emo goth whore!" Okay, not the only one that reads sucky Marvel comics,

"....Lets just go inside," I whine, wha, oh well,

I look up at the building, it's only about- fifteen storys tall, no biggie, okay, maybe ten, but over eight.... or less.... What the hell did I just get myself into?

It's dark gray, slash maybe blueish, can't tell in the moonlight, it really does look like a ordinary run-down apartment building, except that every single light is on. In the front there isn't a visable door, but a open-doorway leading to a small stairwell with a light, another one of my hunches has us all noticeing the person leaning agenst the wall next to the doorway at once,

We rushed up- and it was-

"Super-Scary-Lunch-Lady-Anko!?" Me, and, ironicly Roshi and Yugito all yell at the same time, she still wore that same Lolita Dress looking up at us with her arms crossed and hair down,

"Hellow kitties," She meows playfully,

"Where's Sasuke Anko?!" I yell at her- AWSOMELY!

Her happy expression goes to slight bored annoyance, she puts her head down and points her thumb to the door, "Top floor," She says, almost sounding like she was sad from the erupt stop to fun,

"Your just telling us?" Yagura questioned,

"Not that it matters," She says lifting her head only enough to look me in the eye, "Everyone says it doesn't matter cause' you won't make it. So I have no worrys of getting in trouble,"

"....What do you think?" I ask, even though my head was in hers finding the reason,

".... I've prayed for help," She says, standing straight up, " I've prayed for love, I've prayed for the day to be over and I've prayed for my life to be," She looks almost through me, with tired eyes, "but if any of those will be anwsered, it's going to be my prayer for you to win," She said sternly,

I look back at her, not in the mood for a reassureing smile yet, but manageing a- "...Thanks Anko,"

Her faces goes from the extream emo to extream happy again, like that conversation didn't happen, "Have fun inside! Orochi-Kunny called his old 'buddies' to try and kill you! but you should be fine, half of them are buffoons cause' the partners keep killing eachother and they started recruteing just about any five-star ex-con to join!" She smiled big and waved, we all stared at her for the minute and then slowly walked around her to inside

----------First Floor-Yagura's POV

We pass the crazed lunch lady and walk inside the establishment, the room is bare and square with banisters and polls everywhere, everythings colored in a dull navy blue. Across the room there's a closed-in phone booth, something green-and breathing- is inside it, another person sat infront of it fiddleing with his shoes. he had a orange swirl mask tied on, with raggedy clothes and messed dark brown hair,

"Zetsu-Senpai!" He said in a childish voice, "They're here!" He says, with not fear but joy, I imagined it was cause this retard was happy he got to anounce the enemys where-abouts,

"How many Tobi?" A deep voice from inside the booth asked,

"Uhhh-" He counts us, everyone is too dumb-founded to do anything right now, "All nine!"

"I'll tell the others," The voice inside said, "All nine. One or two shall be stopped here," Echoes of that notice echoed above us, showing he was talking into a speaker and telling everyone else of our arrival,

I pulled out my weapon, the long hook I've had since before I can remember thats design compares to nothing else thought to be made, I suppose it's about time to make up for my miserable defeat earlier, ugh, how pathetic. "Naruto, I'll deal with these goons, you all keep going up," There was another staircase next to the two goons, Naruto nodded, "Utakata, stay here for back up and leave if I need so, alright?"

"Of course,"

I aim the hook towards the little orange guy, looking riduculous as he just allows everyone to pass him and go upstairs, although it may be part of a plan, there's enough floors here for everyone to make it up without assistance.... hopefully,

---------Second Floor-Yugito's POV

Yagura stays downstairs to hold off mister pumpkin head, the second floor is exactly like the last, one single white bulb blareing, lighting the dull room,

So tacky!

Not now two,

I'm three

No I'M three!

If your three who's four?

This one,

Who?

Four,

Right- wait, who am I?

Zero,

Well that sucks,

No that means your the orginal,

Oh, awsome,

Okay ladys, let us allow only one personality to take place here,

Who are you?

Seven,

I thought you were eight? ugh, you two act so much alike,

We do not!

Excuse me?! what's so wrong with me?!

Your BORING!

Well your ANNOYING!

....I'll handle this then- Damn other personalitys, always bickering durning my math class, but this isn't math, this is likely life or death, and we need to deal with all this seriou- OHMYGAWD IT'S THAT JACKASS FROM MISTER HAPPYS!

The really cute con guy?!

The one that kept swearing infront of the little children?

Oh, there you are seventeen,

Hi,

He, is, not, cute, he, is, a, selfless, bastard,

I let the other girls bicker, yeah, it's the man from Mister Happys, that number 6 through out the window, mister no-shirt-no-service, with his gelled back white hair and scarred biceps, a red tattoo of a triangle inside a circle on his chest where his heart would be if he had one,

"Ahh, Kuzu, it's that bitch from that one place," He whines ironicly, his companion geared up in heavy clothes and jackets with a bandana covoring his hair and another over his mouth,

"Well, she's not serveing us and there's no money at stake, do what you wish with her Hidan," He growls in a deep voice,

"Shyea', awsome," He says smileing, he stands up from his spot on a lone crate in the middle of the room, "Wanna dance sweetcheeks?"

"Only if you play nice," I smile, "Naruto, I needn't say that I have this guy,"

"So we'll split up on each level, I got'cha," Naruto smiles with me,

"AHHHHHH!" A scream from below, from that pumpkin head echoes,

"Stupid Tobi," The other guy growls, "I was about to say how I wasn't as easy to get past as him, but I'll let you make it to the next level before you die," He trys to walk calmly past us down the steps but Han stands infront and stops him, "Ugh, your kidding right?"

"Your not just going to walk right past us," Gaara says,

"Run!" Yagura's voice yells followed by a growl, I figure it right away, "Naruto! everyone else just go to the next level!"

"Bu-" Naruto trys, not yet having seen the reason,

"Just trust me!" He takes a last fleeting glance at me before listening and takeing the others with him, Han stays with me, "Han... give me a hand," I say smileing,

-------------Third Floor-Naruto's POV

More yells are downstairs, but I trust Yugito,

Ugh, another identical room, only there's a fishtank agenst the right wall, and this one doesn't seem to have anybody guarding it,

We walk slowly, everybody thinking about what mister biker-guy said about this being the last one we get too, I hunched booby traps or something, oh, and, how right I am,

A big blast at the left, everyone falls onto the ground, smoke clears and I see Gaara's the only one still standing,

One of the polls, crunched up into a shield stopped most of the blast, Gaara had his hand up infront of his face holding it in the air, he put his hand down and the shield stayed up for a second before it fell too,

"You've been practiceing I see," I say, dumb-founded at him,

"Just playing pranks on Kankuro, makeing his puppet collection dance around when he wakes up," He said, oh-so-calmly again, "I've got the coward that stayed in the shadows to set traps, you guys keep going, I have it alone,"

"Coward?! how dare you hng," A growl for some gu-yyyy that looks like a friggin' transvestite, "Just catching you all off guard, wise-ass, hng, and you best not face us on your own," Long blonde hair with a purple jacket over mesh and ripped jeans, this guy is joined by a red-head about half his size in a red sweater and peach dress-pants, crossing his arms. The blonde challanges Gaara with glares,

"I said I had it Naruto, you go find your friend, you deserve that after what you've done," I couldn't stop my smirk, Gaara looked back at me, "I wouldn't be here right now otherwise, now keep going,"

"Roger that captain!" I yell, jumping up and running with the others to the next staircase

"And you cowards really thought we were stupid enough to set only one trap?" The red-headed guy spoke, in the corner of my eye I saw him pull a thread down,

Infront of us the thread sprout up and almost tripped the strangely silent Killer Bee, who must have been planning what was going to happen, He pushed me back into the others to stop from touching it and front-flipped over it,

Despite him pushing me, something moved me forward to almost trip over it myself, but then a big-big-BIIIIG blast from my right blew me to the ground and broke the string (That, when it fell, sliced three rocks)

And- low and behold, Sakura-friggin-Haruno, cutest girl in my old school, "Cha!" She did her little- adorable- battle cry, dressed in her red and white Karate uniform with her long pink hair out of her usual red bow,

"S-Sakura?!" I stared open-mouthed, she had managed to climb up the building and then punch the wall in- not that these walls are at all sturdy-looking,

"Naruto?" She looked at me, surprised,

"What are you doing here?!"

"The kids at school stopped talking about you killing that guy and switched to talking about how Sasuke was getting kidnapped by the pedophile in the old Akatsuki building," ..... HOW DID I MISS THAT?!

".....HOW DID I MISS THAT?!" I yelled,

Behind me, the blonde looked at his partner, "Who's on the next floor Sasori-no-Danna? hnm,"

"No one, yet," Mister midget friggin' got to Sakura so fast he almost dissapeared, "Your comeing with me,"

He wrapped near-invisable strings around Sakura's hands, he then dragged her upstairs-again with the stairs (at least 'up' is where we're heading, otherwise I'd be pissed-to-all-get-out,)

"Um-Okay, I'll- uh," Sakura went up with him to keep from getting her hands cut off,

"Sakura!" I followed up, looking back, Gaara and the kid having a staredown was the last I saw,

Then there was the battle start, "My name is Deidara, one of the greatest artists ever known, hnm, and I'm the last one ever to see you alive, hn,"

The only thing after that were loud booms,

------------First Floor-Yagura's POV

Blasts from upstairs ring out, shakeing the ground and ringing my ears,

Meanwhile, I'm down here chaseing this damned buffoon like I'm some kind of cowboy and he's the damned cattle,

"Get back here!"

"Dhyaaaaaa! Zetsu-Senpai!!! Tobi's a goodboy and he doesn't want to die!" He whines, damned fool,

Utakata changed to his destructive personality, but he's holding himself back enough to not rampage like at the game a few weeks ago, he's faceing a older man with his entire body covored that came down here,

At least it was. However he hasn't hit him with direct blows, Utakata's managed to rip most of his clotheing off, which has been making effective armor for the few moments, now his body shows how it's riddled with countless scars and still-fresh stitches. His bandana ripped away early on and is right now getting his shoulder-length hair hacked at by Utakata's nails,

I finally just jump infront of this retard and knock him onto the floor, I stand over him as he cowers like a small child,

Utakata manages to throw the man into the wall infront of me. He's about to kill him but I use my hook to grab hold of his neck and drag him over to me, the distraction snaps him out of his warp.

"Are you alright?" I ask

"Oh, yes, quite," He stands up and brushes off, "Shall we finish them then?"

"I don't see why not,"

--------------Second Floor-Yugito's POV

"Ah!" He whips me into the wall and smashes that dreaded three-bladed sythe he pulled out of nowhere out to keep me in place,

"Well then, I guess the little pussy's all tired out now?" He snickers

"B-bastard,"

"Oh, tsk tsk sweetheart, I mean, Kuzu never lets me swear when I'm in here because it always leads to such a racket," He growls pulling off the sythe to mock me.

"The baby always has to listen to his mommy, right?" I mock back and he glares at me, "Well, sweetheart, pussys have nine lives," I push the sythe off me and wind-mill kick him three feet away. He falls on his sythe and gets a mayjor slice to his rips where he yells and curses. Han sits in the corner waiting for me to really need him.

--------------Fifth Floor-Naruto's POV

GREAAAAAAAT from the looks of all the GOONS in here we're all gonna get seperated, and not only that but Sakura made us leave her with that friggin' shrimp on the fourth floor.

We get to the top, and this room is finally empty, "You think there's more booby traps?"

"Nah' Narato, there ain't nothin' in here," Killer replys,

"Buh, I think somthin' is comin' " Roshi adds, we look at the staircase at the end of the hall, footsteps clank down, legs apper and my mouth starts hanging open and I stare at the friggin' forgotten cast member of Mean Girls,

Bright red hair, glasses, no boobs what-so-ever, and wearing enough pink to put Ryan from HSM to shame, not to mention the diva vibe and pouty lips,

".... Yes, Sharpay?" I ask,

" Daddy said you'd be here, stupid idiot," She growled, well, not sure I can call that a growl, more like a fuss,

"Listen, you can scratch out these guys' eyes with your hundred-dollar nails, but I'm goin' through,"

"Ex-CUSE me?" She-.... I dunno the word for it,

"Hey ya'll li'l princess wasuor name? wait thats right we ain' playin' no games, listen princess ya'll needa movoutahway, listen princess why dun'chya just ride off on ya'll li'l po-nay,"

"....What?"

"....Jus'- jus' get outta tha' way please?"

She stares at us for a couple minutes, and I actually stare at us too, "Yeah, Killah', very fierce,"

"Aye' shuddup!"

"Listen, just move will ya?" I beg her,

"Ugh, stupid men, Suigetsu!"

"Whhhaaat??? Karin you ho-bag," I blue-haired kid stomps down the apparently short stairs with a long, thin sword in his hand,

"Get rid of your fellow idiots!" She points to us,

"Do I have to?"

"Yes you have to Suigetsu you numb-skull!"

"But-"

"NO BUTTS!"

"Why not? you got enough ta' spare," I fight a laugh as Killer and Roshi fail,

"Just deal with them!" She yelled,

"Fine fine fine," He points his sword up to us, "Guess you getta' die," And then another giant footstep jumps off the step and lands next to him, holding out a even longer sword, "Kisame-Sensei? shall we slice em'?"

"And dice em' " The blue guy calls.... wait- BLUE?

BLAST-VRHMMM

AND blast-vrhmmm? whatta day,

To our left the dust and smoke clears, shiney gears and wheels are the first thing I make out, then it all settles and I see the shiney Harley Davidson that I've only known to be owned by one really lucky kid, "Shikamaru?!"

"Front an' center teach," On the back of his bike Gaara's- right now lovely sister Temari sat in her powder-pink dress... Damn this is a awsomely fast-paced and random day, (These two are lookin' like the friggin stars of Grease for gawdz sake!)

Kankuro awkwardly peeks out from behind the two... Okay, Shikamaru has his hair out of his usual pineapple pony-tail and it's down in greasey shaggs, not to mention his old leather jacket that I just lost the bet that'd he'd never wear, and he has apparently stolen his dads mote- OHMYGAWD HIS NAME'S SHIKAMARU NARA I JUST FIGURED IT OUT OHMYGAWD!

"Hey, listen, Shika-dude? does your family have a park?"

"Nara park, yeah, but, why are you asking?" Did I mention he's smokeing? geez, I wish he was a rebel back when we hung out, I'd be so much cooler.

"...No reason.... Fonzy,"

"Very funny," He flicks the cigerette and moters past us, "We'll be downstairs helping the less-stupid,"..... He always was a ass....

They left, the Suigetsu guy is whineing to the blue guy that he doesn't have a bike. And the 'ho-bag' looks like she just had a orgasm... "Goodluck guys," I run past them up the stares, the girl's still holding her legs together and the two guys are pissed now, so I feel sorry for Killer and Roshi... Having to deal with that Karin and all,

-----------Fourth Floor-Sakura's POV

I hear some motor zoom by below but then it's gone, 'Sasori' holds his hand over my mouth as he holds us onto the ceiling. We drop down finally and I fall to his side, "Now I get to play with you, little lady," He says deviously,

"Y-...you're not getting away with any of this," I growl at him, trying so hard to keep my pride up and fear locked down, but he chuckles,

Footsteps from behind us and I twirl around, A blonde girl just barely older then me tries to throw a punch at him.

He grabs her wrist before it connects "Not so fast"

"No!" But it's too late, she lifted her up and through her into the wall, she falls to the ground with a sickening crunch and I run over to her, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, just deal with him," She tells me, I get up with all my energy back,

"I said, you are not getting away with this!"

"Whatever," And I go straight after him,

-------------Third Floor-Kankuro's POV

Gaara still telepathicly throws pipes and drywall and anything he can find at the blonde guy. Shikamaru lets me off the bike, "Can you handle them?"

"I'll try," I say and he kicks the bike back up to go down another level, I wait for them to get close enough to try my plan,

I put out my foot, and trip the blonde guy,

"Ughn!"He falls flat on his face, then pushing himself quickly back up glares at me, "You idiot! my face, you damn idiot I oughtta kill you!"

"Hey, if anything, the scars make you look more manly," I smile mockingly at him,

"Idiotic method Kankuro. Effective, but idiotic,"

"Thank you, I try,"

"This is the last you mettle with Deidara! the-"

"The greatest artist ever lived," Gaara finished for him making him even more mad,

"You damn fool! I am not the greatest I'm ONE of the greatest!" He growls, "Hn, The greatest one is still about four floors above us," He said pouting slightly, glareing at the ceiling like he could actually see through it to his rival.

"Listen, I don't mean to be rude, but, we're gonna kick your ass now,"

But then he smiles, looking down at the wall, "Hnnm, so you think,"

BLAST

------------Fourth Floor-Sakura's POV

Spin-kick, over and over and over and cut-

He finally smacked himself agenst the wall, but when I got up to him to see him he through himself up and managed to pick me up and throw me into the wall,

"You scrawny little wench," He growled, stomping closer to me, "You think with a few lessons in Karate you can push over just anyone?" I was seconds away from screaming for my life as he pulled out a knife, untill an explosion from the area right next to me, and Sasori's expression changed incrediblely to one of sheer fear " G- g- g-.... Granma?"

"Sasori!" A elderly lady walked up " There you a-... Oh my lord,"

"What?" I asked, her face matched Sasori's now

"... He hasn't aged a day," She said shakey,

"Wh- when was the last time that you saw him?"

She stared and then her face turned stern, "....Three days ago," .....Wh--at? ".... WHEN HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LEAVEING TO GET MILK!"

"Ugh, you hag," He glared still holding the knife, does he really find her intimadateing? I mean, she's wearing a pink apron for goodness sakes! "You have no business here, go roll over in your grave!"

"Oh Sasori you brute! I'll worry about how my tan's gonna come out when you finally move out!" I look back at him, all fear gone as I just look at him, his already pink cheeks flush tomatoe-red,

"I-I moved out ages ago! I just come back occasionally as to not cause suspision- and because I can only take so much of Deidara's voice," He explained,

"Oh yeah, your boyfriend, I told your mother eating too much Passion fruits and clean-Melons would make you a rebelious queer!" I swear his mind just turned to mud right now. I get up unsteadily,

"Um, what do we do?" I ask her,

"What do we do? dammit I haven't had a spanking partner since my brother went on that weekend fishing trip.... Three months ago," She says, I shrug, well, atleast I'm not going to die bored now,

I'll help you get Sasuke back Naruto, I promise.

------------Sixth Floor-Naruto's POV

"Let me through!" I yelled, some white-haired Harry Potter look-alike blocked my path to the last staircase,

"Now why would I want to do that? I'm not even trieing to do anything. I'm just here to see what it is that you want,"

"I want Sasuke back you idiot bastard!"

"Testy testy, well I guess I shouldn't intervine, but I warn you there's other people that do intend to stop you,"

"Like I care, I made it this far and I'm not turning back now!"

"Naruto," I spun around behind me, Anko walked slowly over, fiddleing the lace of her skirt and for the first time holding a blank expression. "Don't listen to his flat threats, he's nothing but a lackey,"

"Now now Anko dear," He said glareing at us over a sadistic smile, "I'm not a lackey, but a simple child helping protect our master," His cold eyes turned on me, "Sasuke is Orochimaru-Sama's new favorite, and his thirteenth child in the house, not includeing the alliance with Akatsuki and those who've grown up and moved out,"

"That's a lie," Anko growled, "He, is, not, the thirteenth,"

"That hasn't grown up Anko dear," He said, "You've been replaced,"

"I did not grow up," She seethed, "I will not,"

"How does it feel dear? To be thrown away and forgotten like Orochimaru once was?" Heh, I would intervine but Anko might take care of him for me,

"Never," She growls, and I feel a lump in my stomach that told me to move, I walked slowly away from her as pressure started melting off her, "You will not be allowed to take another child,"

"Now, are you really worried about Sasuke? or do you just want him out of the way?" I looked at Anko who for just one instant looked calmer, but then I could see the very moment where she made up her mind,

"I'm jealous," She said quietly, chokeing her words,

"The green-eyed monster finally rears her ugly head then?"

"I am not forgotten, and I will make sure that Orochimaru-no-Danna understands that," Green waves lashed out from under her, and the tattoo on her neck grew and lashed over her body, "I will NOT,"

The waves covored her and when they vanished she was completely diffrent, her skin turned pale blue and she had hook-like black marks on her face. A black heart on her chest pulsed and her dress turned darker colors. A purple jewel was ontop of her now flowing white hair and her completely black eyes opened with green slits like a cats eye. Her mouth opened and she had a black mouth with a green tongue, and long sharp fangs shineing as bright as the lights glare on her eyes. She screamed and jumped to Kabuto, but the next thing I saw was her still, and someones hand infront of her head, not touching her but keeping her still, Kabuto laughed, "I told you, I am not the one your going to deal with,"

"Almighty push,"

Anko was thrown to my side, her transformation reversed. I got down next to her, "Anko?"

"Naruto.... Go, go get Sasuke alright?" She smiled weakly, and then closed her eyes. And I looked up at the two new goons that did this,

-----------Second Floor-Yugito's POV

Han is completely immobile now. And half my ribs are broken, there's no way we'll make it back up to you Naruto, I'm sorry.

Hidan, the bastard, shuffles up to us lauging like a maniac. "Hey, pussy-baby, don't be so down, you still got some lives left right?"

I stand up, to at least keep him away from Han. He laughes some more. "Little bitch, think you can still stand a fu-" A fist ripps through the shadows sending Hidan to the ground, I look up a- OHMYGOSH HE IS SO CUTE!!!

I KNOW!

Please be eighteen please be eighteen please be eighteen

He looks TWELVE. Thirteen you horn-dog.

Shut up! anyway, this kid just saved my life. He stands up straight, "It isn't polite to curse infront of a lady." He says.... oh.... so.... sexily,

I just had a orgasm.

Me too,

ANYWAY!.... Hidan stands up and glares at the boy, "You bastard, I'll curse you something you damn-

BLAST

He's cut off by a explosion upstairs the kid punches him in the gut and then in the head again,

He falls back dazed. "Th-thank you,"

He half-grins as he ties his hair up, "This is such a bloody drag."

--------------Sixth Floor-Naruto's POV

"What do you want?" I ask, mister pin-cushion and his fancy jeweled girlfriend, "Why is Orochimaru going through so much trouble for this?" I say, taking a last glance at Anko before she passes out from the blood loss.

"He has a bit of a insanity for children," The girl says, "But he's doing it for their best,"

"Bull shit!" I was about to go after them but pin-cushion holds his hand up, pushing me enough to that I don't go anywhere.

"I'm sorry, we have a job, and that is to eliminate you," He says,

"Bastard,"

"Have that half right," I cringe, another voice, another unexpected guest, another idiot to deal with.

The guy walking down the steps behind them was the one I saw at Ichiraku. Long black hair, pale, ridges down his nose. But I got him by his red eyes. They felt like they were pierceing my skin.

But my eyes just about popped out of my brain with what pin-cushion said, "Itachi, you have no business, I told you we wouldn't need you,"

"Why? because I'm on his side?" He gestured to me. Itachi, Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke's brother. For a second a corny movie popped into my head, that maybe I should let Sasuke stay here if it means he finally gets the brother he's been searching for all these years. "Pain, I'm not listening to your orders, even if they were to get my Sasuke out of here I wouldn't,"

"What's going on?" I ask, forgetting Anko and the two goons are even here. Itachi looks up at me with hurt in his red eyes.

---------Fifth Floor-Fuu's POV

Yayayayayayayay!!!

"Yay!" I plob mister blue man in the nose and he falls back like his little friend, I also have that mean girl cowering in the corner. Well, that's what they get for hurting Roshi and Killer!

The boys sit behind me, covored with scratches, mainly from mean girls' high-heels. No body noticed that I fell behind, I got distracted by the pretty bug outside! But while I was climbing on the wall I heard Killer screaming, so I had to help.

"Y-you h-h-h-h-hurt m-m-m-my h-h-ha-hair." The girl fusses.

"... Sorry,"

She starts crieing, playing with her bright hair. The blue guy crawls over to the corner. "I shoulda' listened to 'Tachi,"

"I shouldn'ta listen to Karin," The other said,

I look back and Killer and Roshi, "Should we check on the others?"

Roshi nodded hurridly and Killer was still rocking back and forth.

"WE'LL SAVE YOU!!!"

BAM

"Oh! Hi Omoi!" I wave to Killer's cousins who just blasted through the window. Karui and Samui are still in their business suits and have apparently been dragged by Omoi who's dressed in his Indiana Jones outfit from last Halloween.

"WE'LL STOP THESE FEINDS FROM RUINING YOUR SI-ing .... voice?" Omoi looked around the room confused.

"Dude! whatterya doin' here?!" Killer yelled,

"What did you expect him to do when you leave a note on the counter saying you have something- quote, 'important to do and it involved kicking peoples asses'?!" Samui yelled at him.

"....Shyea... Probably not the brightest idea of mah' mind now wus it?"

"NO!"

Me and Roshi stood there, waiting for them to stop argueing..... OHMYGOSH ITS A BUG! "Fuu! get down from there!"

-------------Fourth Floor-Sakura's POV

"You bitches," Sasori growled, back when Chiyo hi-fived me she had connected strings to my fingers, and we used them to tie him up, he now stood still growling under his breath,

"I'll have to wash out your mouth later," Chiyo said laughing, "You nasty boy,"

He growled and cursed, I was this close to smileing in victory till he started to chuckle.

Next thing I know, he throws his arms up ripping his sweater, the strings came off and he through the tethered remains of his sweater into the corner, and all that was left were fresh bleeding slice's all over his arm's from the string, he stood up and leaned agenst the wall showing off his lean body and a kanji on his chest that from all my studys, I knew read 'Scorpion'

Behind him there were criss-crossing swords hanging. He drew the one sword, "I'm done playing with you dollies," He growled sadistic, " your not pretty enough for my collection," He paused then throwing the blade at us, it hit the ground infront of Chiyo and then was pulled up when Sasori through his arm down pulling near-invisable strings, Chiyo bent back and avoided it with perfect reflexs

She flipped back to behind me, "Okay girl! he's got his strings extra sharp today! they cut through my slipper!"

"Well that can't mean much. Slipper bottoms are rubber."

"No, lassie, mine are stainless steel," She lifts her foot to show me this. "Cus' I like em' to clack," ..... She's crazy,

"You're all going to die no matter what you do now." He called, "Did you hear that blast earlier? my partners nearing his grand finale. I myself will be lucky if I make it out of it when I'm having to deal with you whores."

"Ooooh crap,"

"What do we do?!" I turned to check on the unconcious girl behind us. I've been feeling tremors after every explosion, and I don't think this old building can take much more.

But Chiyo smiled defiant of our fate, "We go to plan Z,"

"C?"

"No, Plan Z..." I don't even recall a plan 'B'

She pulls out a laptop, he stares, not even him knowing what his grandmother's capable of. "What's that?"

"It's a video his dear-departed parents made,"

"I see! remind him of life before be became a villain!"

"...No.." Then what the hell IS IT?! "....Behold Sasori," He steps back, bringing up his swords like to shield himself. ".... YOUR PARENTS' SEX TAPE!"

She turns on the video and all I hear are moans and grunts. Sasori's face twists to make it look like it got ran over. Chiyo now hands me a frying pan that I don't want to know how she got. I take it and try to walk around to behind Sasori and not catch sight of the video.

I get there and start raiseing it up to wack him over the head. But it stops, getting caught on something. Looking up a earlier set trap of drywall falls down on us.

Sasori snapped out of it, pushing me out of the way. But only so he could wrap his string around my neck. Chiyo looks on, "Say bye-bye to barbie, granny," He says. The string slices my fingers as I try to grab at it and cuts my neck, and I feel the blood trickle down. Chiyo backs away, and Sasori pulls a trap that brings strings up all around her so she can't move.

I came all the way out here, snuck out of my house. To die? I came here to honestly just impress Sasuke. But he's not even here, I can only trust that that idiot Naruto's helping him.

But either way, I'm not letting this goon break me. For reputation, for love, for myself. I'm going to make it out of here.

I grab at the string, it slices my fingers to the bone. I rip it over my head just as he trys to pull it.

I run ahead and face him. Whisps of my hair flutter around him. Going from my waist to above my neck. But at least I still have a neck. "You can laugh all you want, you can beat me to the bone. You can kill everyone around me and ruin my hair. But I'll still come out the victor in this." I glare up at him as he looks back blankly, I assume my fighting stance, "And if you call me barbie one more time I swear to god I'll kill you." He replies to this with lifting one of the sword, twirling it in his fingers and pointing it straight at me. But then I see Chiyo sneak up behind him with the frying pan.

--------------Third Floor-Kankuro's POV

"Ahahahaa!!" He screams at the top of hi lungs. Gaara's practicly passed out and I can barely move. "Okay! okay! maybe I AM the greatest! But we'll let your deaths decide that hmmm?!" He taunts like a maniac.

"You're one crazy fag you know that?" He glares at me. In the corner of my eye I see Gaara lifting himself up alittle,

"Me? ohohoh, you must be mistaken, I'm not crazy, I'M BRILLIANT!" He screams, Gaara's eyes focus on him, like he was when he was useing the telepathy. I search the room for drywall or more pipes moving, but I don't see anything. "Ohhh Itachi will probably be pissed, I've finally won! I've created the greatest art while he's upstairs playing with his fate! I win! and Sasori'll have to say something, I've won and he'll HAVE to notice my ART!!!" He keeps screaming. Pacing around and jumping while he yells. Going completely nuts. While I stare at him I notice slithering on the floor. Turning around I see what Gaara was focuseing on. The empty fishtank. He pulled sand out of it. Crazy-blondie doesn't even notice. he just keeps screaming, "I've done it! you will all, COWER! YOU WILL ALL, CRY IN FEAR! SCREAM FOR YOUR MOTHERS! BECAUSE, MY ART, MY ART, IS A BLA- umpf!" The sand wraps around his big mouth and ties his hands behind his back. The rest of it covors his body and Gaara starts lifting him in the air.

"Sand Coffin." A sickening crack and the guy falls to the floor. Bloody with who knows how many bones broken.

Gaara lets his head down and trys to rest. I used the energy of cockiness (which right now I have loads of) to get up and try and walk over.

But, yet another explosion. The ceiling implodes and-.... cousin Sasori?! "Oh my gosh! Saso you idiot!" I start laughing. Granma Chiyo hi-fives a exausted looking girl before pulling her down here (landing on Sasori)

"N-no-Danna," The blonde pushes himself up, "....Is it a tie?"

"Now's not the time for competion brat," He groans rolling over. Blondie acts like its a slap to the face at starts hitting his head on the ground chanting 'stupidstupidstupid'

"Is Temari okay?" Gaara asks when we both notice her half-awake in pinkies arms,

"Peachy," She answers for us. Then coughing a little.

----------------Sixth Floor-Naruto's POV

"Sasuke was lured here to see me, but Orochimaru won't even let me into the same room as him. His plan is to get world domination through 'harvesting' and tainting as many children as possible. Basicly, causeing it to turn into a hell." Itachi explained.

I look back at him, "Where's?"

"Sasuke's on the next floor." Itachi says, smileing weakly, "You need to get him."

"He's not getting past us Itachi," Mr. Pain the asshole says.

"Pain, but couldn't we-"

"No, Konan, no coulds, no shoulds, just have, we need the payment," He yelled at the girl, she looked back at me. Walking closer to me, "Konan come back!"

"We can't do this Pain! I can't do this!" She yelled back at him. Turning back at me she lowers down to my level, "Naruto, right?" She smiles with tears in her eyes. "He's just doing this... because..."

"Konan,"

"Because... his friend is sick.... He's doing everything to get money for the surgery but-"

"Konan that's enough!"

"Please forgive him, please."

"Konan don't make me hurt you!" I glare up at him and Konan twirls around,

"Itachi!" She runs over as Itachi grabs him, she holds them them still and turns back to me, "Get through the door Naruto!"

Okay, so what if this is playing out like a suckish soap opera? I run up past them and try the door at the top of the steps. Locked, of course, Itachi had been trieing to get through before me. I can still hear Pain still trieing to get Konan and Itachi off, and I stare at the door trieing to come up with a plan.

Well, lets just say it came to me. "Anko?"

Her almost white arm shoots up and grabs the wooden door, "Kick his ass for me Naru-Chan," He pulls the door off with her nails and kicks me inside, "Orochi-no-Danna... ARRIVEING!!!!"

Okay, that was alittle more then awkward. I stumble up, and Anko goes back to kick Pain's ass. "Tsk, tsk, already?" I hear Orochimaru's slithery voice,

I stare at Orochimaru, Sasuke's eyes seemed blank as he looked at the floor, I had to save him. He doesn't deserve this. He's gone through everything I have, with me, I'm not handing him over t-

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Another blast from my left. Smoke clears to show the hulking figure of-....

"Jiraiya!?" Orochimaru exclaims,

"Orochimaru! Time to right my wrong.... THIS IS FOR STEALING MY GIRLFRIEND IN HIGH SCHOOL!" He jumps off the bike he rode in on and starts poseing, I take a closer look and stare at him

"Jiraiya..... what are you doing with Shikamaru's bike?" I ask, he looks at me like a stranger asking the time in a room with a clock,

"Oh that? I thought you might regonize it, I tried 'customizeing' it a li'l so you wouldn't notice," He point's to a Kermit the Frog sticker on the gas tank. Whatta loon,

"Stupid Jiraiya, there's nothing you can do now!.... AND FOR THE LAST TIME TSUNADE CAME ON TO ME!" Tsunade!? PRINCIPAL Tsunade!? OH MY GAWD THEY'RE ALL LOON'S!!!

Wait, got to focuse now, now, what would bring Sasuke's attention?

"Itachi," I said quietly, Jiraiya kept whineing about what sounded like a fifth grade field trip. But Sasuke and Orochimaru snapped their heads up and I finally saw some emotion in Sasuke's face. And right on que Itachi walked through the doorway behind me- don't ask how I knew it was him, but I turned and saw that my feeling was right. I trusted the vision I saw in my head when I felt Sasuke rip out of Orochimaru's grasp, Jiraiya finally silences and Orochimaru only groaned knowing how quickly and completely he had been defeated, Sasuke ran over to Itachi.

But I ignored the happy ending, and I turned back and walked slowly up to Orochimaru,

Jiraiya just looked at me, to anyone else it'd of looked like he was just mouthing words, but I could hear his voice. "Focus it into your hand," He said, "make it swirl, and then-"

I dug my hand into Orochimaru, I'm not sure if he had been watching Sasuke leave or me walk up to him but he now looked at me with wonder in his eyes,

"You, your Naruto Uzumaki," He growled, I looked down, it looked like there was a swirling ball of purple air in my hand, it started to make Orochimaru's shirt spin, followed by what felt like his own stomach. He let out a quiet scream and the force took effect and through him twirling agenst the wall. And I let it be over,

"Sasuke" I looked at him, he walked over to me first holding Itachi's hand but then letting go and getting up next to me. He looked like he might break down in guilt, Itachi walked up behind him and put a hand on his shoulder.

Behind him, other Akatsuki, the RDC club and everybody else that'd come to help finally had made their way up the stairs. I looked them all over, seeing everyone from Konan who looked about to cry, and Sakura holding her side being practicley carried by Fuu,

"I'm so sorry Naruto," Sasuke whispered, and it was the first time since this whole thing started that he actually sounded like himself. Almost like he was about to tease me or change the subject saying he was haveing his brain cells fried. It was almost perfect now, cause Sasuke had his brother and me, the only things that have been keeping himself together this whole time. All I could do was smile, and I know he was trieing so hard not to ruin the moment with calling me a loser again,

Orochimaru pouted with the other Akatuski's all sitting in either shame or boredom, and everyone else ran slash limped over... Did it just take. Like, three minutes to get Sasuke back after finding him? DAMN that's cheap. But I let out a sigh knowing, thinking, hopeing it was all over, and with Sasuke's smile and everyones cheers, I almost thought it was,

But we all know my luck don't we?

"Deidara-Sempai! Tobi scrached'ed his knee!" That goof-ball Yagura had been chaseing skipped over to Mr, Blonde, takeing a look of- not intrest, just impulsive curiosity, - and spotted Sasuke, the glimmer he usually had in his eye faded and he tilted his head, looking dumb-founded and walked slowly over to us,

"Tobi?" The blonde called, but he kept walking like he didn't hear. Half-way over he streched out his arm and reached for Sasuke. And I guess it was just a gut-feeling that made me stand in-between them,

"You got somethin' to say?" I asked, glareing at him although in my mind I was putting it off as him just being a retard. His attention turned on me and he twitched, streching his arm to me now,

"Tobi honey come back over here," Konan said about to walk over to us. The tone of her voice showed that she and nobody else knew what was going on, "Tobi?"

The kid looked at me and then seemed to twitch again, like he just got the chills. He closed his eyes and opened them again and they were bright red. His body shook again like he was scared, and his hand latched onto my neck, and then the other came up and his eyes watered,

Everything surrounding us turned purple, like the wind was turning the color and it all started whirling around us. His grip got tighter and I started to hear the screams- that had been humming mildly in my ears - get louder and louder untill it just stopped,

In the corner of my eye, and through the purple mist I noticed that Yugito collapsed, followed by Gaara, then Yagura, Killer, Utaka' Roshi Han, and Fuu, they all fell to the floor in a pile and small waves of color started to luminate off their bodys and were sucked in by this kid. Mine seemed to do the same with a red color, it smelled rancid and made my body start to feel heavy, and the pressure build, the screaming stopped but by the look of the kids face, he now had it.

His face started to warp, his body grew and hair turned dark and long, he closed his eyes and they re-opened a diffrent shape. The red color remained, and with the final addition of slight age and wrinkle, his face, the face of now a completely diffrent person turned fierce and I started to black out.

---------Sasuke's POV

"BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!" I heard the man yelled. The swirling purple mist broke for a second every now and then. And I could see his eyes began glowing red as his brown hair grew long and raven colored, "THIS IS MY POWER! THIS IS THE SOUL! I WILL GET MY REVENGE ON THE KAGES! AND I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL FIRST!!!!" The unbelieveable pressure comeing off of his body was getting stronger and harder, so much that it felt like I might be blown away,

I tried to move forward to stop him but the effort only did as I feared and blew me back farther away, then I felt myself run into something warm "Sasuke!" I looked up and Itachi's face was next to mine holding me in place, "Believe in Naruto! if anyone can defeat Madara Uchiha it's him!" Looking over at Naruto, I poured my heart and soul into him,

Madara lifted him up and cletched tightly, but I suddenly felt another pressure, and saw Naruto's body emmiting a red aura, "YOU! YOU HAVE THE SAME POWER! YOURS IS THE SAME AS YOUR FATHERS! YOU ARE NARUTO NAMIKAZE!" He screeched, "I CAN TAKE YOUR POWER! AND THEN I WILL FOREVER HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE OVER THE CRUEL MESSED-UP WORLD! AND YOU WILL DIE NARUTO! DIE!!!!"

"Itachi," I said, not expecting him to hear me from the whirling wind, but his grip got tighter. I looked around and the Akatsuki were all scattered around the room, their expressions showing that they had no idea these actions would lead to such hell, and Naruto's friends laid in a heap looking powerless and dead, but each one emmiting diffrent lights like Naruto was, and they were all going into Madara like he was absorbing them,

Naruto's red light started to do the same and go into him, but, after only a few seconds Madara's expression changed dramaticly. It looked like he was trying to let go of Naruto's neck, and his face showed a form of fear I've never seen, and the diffrent new pressure comeing off Naruto overlapped Madara's completely, and this one seemed to pull us in, Itachi held onto me and grabbed a pipe to keep us still,

Madara's purple wind was consumed by the red waves blasting around Naruto's body, I looked closer at him and it seemed like Naruto was coated with a red liquid, that smothered his body and formed a tail and ears, another tail grew, and then another as the small part of his face I could make out started to get rougher, the lines on his face spred out and his lips turned black. Then his body started to turn gray, before consumeing him again and turning black with the addition of yet another tail, Naruto's eyes turned white with his mouth that now had fangs, and as another tail grew out a skeleton formed onto his back. Then another tail,

Madara's face was just awe-struck now, " You... You have the Kyubi, the Nine-tailed fox!" His crazy smile returned, " YOU WILL NOT OVER COME ME KYUBI!!!"

Naruto let out a roar and I saw that Madara's arms had become inbedded into him, three more tails grew and Naruto's body grew orange fur, his eyes turned red with black rings, he let out another ear-pierceing roar, "Itachi," I whispered, then I felt him let go,

"Madara's done for Sasuke! now you have to get Naruto back!" the energy easily drew me streight to Naruto, I ripped him off Madara and then the man was consumed by the same blackness that had Naruto, only instead of coating him, it was eating him,

----Naruto's POV

I opened my eye's, everything was still black, but I turned and I seemed to be in a big room, infront of me there was a giant cage hanging open with a broken lock,

"Naruto," I heard a voice call to me, and at my right was... My father?

I've neer seen him, but he looks just like me, like in the pictures Jiraiya has. With rougher blue eyes and a gentler face, "...Dad?"

"Hello son," He smiled,

"Where are we?"

"Inside your heart," He answered,

"Why?"

"Naruto, I don't have much time to spend down here so I have to get to the point," He walked up to me and turned to the cage, "When you were first born, our town was attacked by a creature of dreams,"

"Dreams?"

"Yes, there were nine monsters, made up of the hate in a persons heart," He said, "Of course, the goverment and scientists didn't believe the whole story of these monsters," I looked at him, "So, me and the 'believers' that got the nickname of 'Kages' came together and did a ritual, it would lock each monster in the heart of a person with a pure enough heart to defeat the hatred and inevitably seal the creatures. But of course as you know a side effect was that eventually they would try and break out," He said, smileing at me, "Resulting in?"

"....Temper tantrums?" I said pretty dumbly

"Very good." He laughed, " Now, luckily they have been able to be more effectivly sealed by something else," He turned to me again, but I couldn't think of why, "You Naruto, the purest heart that was able to contain the most fierce beast,"

"Untill now," I said, looking down at my feet,

"Only because Kyubi saw all the pain and hatred in Madara's heart was so easy to latch onto,"

"Why couldn't he just do it before?"

"Because, you've surrounded yourself with such pure and happy people, and now... Well look how tiny you've made him," He pointed over at a small fox, that was walking out of the darkness and back into the cage, "Did you have fun Kyubi?" He mocked the small orange animal,

"Lots, only that damned Madara had something in his core," He spoke in a rasped, evil-sounding voice,

"The boy," I looked at him again, "Madara is hundreds of years old, grew up in war, where he lost his brother and had his heart turn cold," He explained, "Remember the one that Madara emerged from?" I nodded, remembering, "He was the reincarnation of Madara's brother, when Madara's spirit had still not found peace and found his brothers new body, he possesed it,"

"What happened to him then?"

"Kyubi?" He turned to the small fox who used one of its nine tails to re-shut the door,

"He'll be there, Madara-free," He groaned going into the corner of the cage and rolling into a ball of what I really hoped was of shame,

"And the others?"

"All holders of the others should be back to normal," It groaned, dad smiled at me again,

"With these things still in them," I stared at Kyubi who looked back at me,

"The animals are changed with the years they spend in the pure hearts... Sooner or later, they'll be chibi-size thinking about nothing but sun-shine and lolipops,"

"Ugh," Kyubi moaned,

"Naruto, I need to ask you something," He said

"What?"

"Naruto, you need to help the world break the circle of hatred it's caught itself in,"

"...By?"

He smiled down at me, "By being yourself," He turned and started walking away to a light in the room, "Goodbye Naruto," There were two other figures in the light, and I heard my mother's voice echo

"Goodbye Naruto,"

"Naruto," My eyes closed, and I was engulfed by cherry blossom petals

.....

"Naruto?... Naruto!"

My eyes opened and Sasuke was hovering over me, his brother was behind him and we were still in the building. After a few seconds I pulled myself up, "Where is everybody?"

"They're all here Naruto, and wakeing up," Itachi assured me, I looked behind them and saw them wakeing up. The Akatsuki were all checking them, I looked at a pile of ash that used to be Madara, Sasuke and Itachi followed my gaze as a white light formed out of the ashes,

"Tobi!?" Deidara ran over to the light, it slowly formed the body of the goof-ball who looked like he was peacefully sleeping. And he picked him up, "Tobi? are you there? speak to us! hn,"

I breathed a sigh when he opend his eyes tiredly and looked up at the members that had run to his side, "Did Tobi mess up again?" He said looking up at them,

"No honey it's fine, you did very, very good," Konan comforted him,

I looked over and Kankuro and Temari were helping Gaara over to me "Are you alright Naruto?"

".....Peachy," They all smiled, and then it started to register that I've broken a couple ribs, "I think we need a doctor," I said quietly, falling back onto my back, hitting my head on the floor, and letting out a whiney girl scream as I rolled around on the ground,

Rumbles.... booms.... not agaaaAAAIN!

I see Sasuke look over to the Akatsuki's little huddle in the middle of the room,

"Deidara," Shrimpy-mc-stringy (where'd I get that from?) looked at mister-miss blonde, "Brat... How many bombs exactly did you set off?"

"I dunno!... ughn, un," He started counting, ".... Somewhere around... twenty," He smiled weakly at his fingers.

The place started shakeing again, crap, "Now what? I don't think any of us can fly.... Can we?"

"Nope," Itachi said,

"....Well then... We are in deep Kiba-crap Sasuke my man," I say acting like we got caught pulling a prank at school, he stares at me like I'm a loon.... which I am,

He stares at his brother, the now moving floor, and then me, "... No shit Sherlock." One of the girls screamed and we all made a very comical run for the door at the same time.

-----------Outside

The place crumbled immidiantly, everytime we got to a lower floor the one above us collapsed. Call it the awsome power of luck but I'm feelin' pretty epic right now!

"Naruto?"

"SOMYGOSHIDIDNTDOITKIBADID!" I yelled immdiantly on hearing that voice, but the I opened my eyes, "Iruka!"

I ran over to him and pretty-much tackled him, Konohamaru's squad was here too. They jumped on me screaming like lunatics. They even ran for Sasuke but he used his signature to get them to turn right on around and go after me again.

Behind me, Choji, who I used to share a bunk with untill he was adopted by Shikamaru's family. Was stareing at the building, (Alotta police are here by now) that was burning. He looked at Shikamaru who had Temari on his shoulder, "DUDE! I know you said you were gonna kick some ass with Naruto but I didn't think THIS much ass!"

"He was talking to you Choji, so he ment alot," Temari poked his stomach,

The Akatsuki sat (well, fought for a seat on a bench) Being questioned by the police, so far they only seemed mildly pissed. But Itachi, son of their former police cheif was the one talking to them (Wait, how did I KNOW that?!)

Jiraiya approched us, the sight of his hulking figure easily sent Konohamaru and his lot hiding behind Iruka's leg. "Naruto.... you.... Are the seeker,"

"I also have a sneaking suspision I might be the key to Tom Hanks' Angels and Demons sequel, but what's your point?"

"You are all special,"

"Yeah, my daddy's ghost appered and told me the story, dreams, NiGHTS refferences, Freddy K, I got it dude,"

"WHAT!? Dammit Minnie KNEW I wanted to tell you!" He pouted, "Oh, wait, but he didn't do THIS!"

He handed me a blue sweatband with a little red symbol on it,

"....Your giving me a sweatband with the Time Warner Cable logo on it?"

"D'NO! It's the little symbolly thingy for the Kage org," he explained, trying really hard to be professional and failing at it miserably,

"Besides, he made it himself so you shouldn't be surprised." I leaned sideways to look past Jiraiya at- TSUNADE?! (Why is everyone I've ever met in my whole life arriveing here?) ".......Why? you? here?"

"Cause, I, is," She replies,

"Now, why'd the hell you date Jiraiya?"

"I never dated Jiraiya!" She growls glareing at him,

"But you kissed Orochimaru," Jiraiya whines sulking,

"I kissed him on the cheek cause he won the science fair!"

"Nerd,"

"Jiraiya are you high?! what have you been telling this boy!?"

"..... And you turned down my marriage proposal," Dude, I'm being Punk'd right? (ZOMG AM I GUNNA MEAT ASHTON!?)

"Because you made it two weeks after my fiancee died!" She yells at him,

".... I thought it'd be romantic,"

"Oh you idiot," She growls, turning back to me, "Anyway," She turns serious, "Naruto, do you really know the magnitude of this? Your lucky Itachi Uchiha is the one talking to the police. Otherwise we'd all be in big trouble."

"And?"

"Are you not listening?!"

".... But, what do you want me to do about it," She stared at me with her eyes wide. Oh, my, gawd, I just pissed off AND won a fight with PRINCIPAL TSUNADE! WOOHOO!

"...Stop making those faces," Crap, "Are you, not hearing-"

"Ow! not till you reminded me!" The scream started, but it was quiet, But REALLY Tsunnie!

"Well Naruto, if you understand what you now have to deal with, do your friends?"

"Excuse me Ms. Senju," Tsunade turned around to Yagura who looked like a messy rag doll, "We've been standing right here the whole time, and yes, we've been aware of our diagnosis for quite some time, and I believe that we can infact 'deal' with it." He is SO pissed that it all turned out to be supernatural! oh my gosh his pissy-face is AWSOME!

Tsunade looked at all of them, "Are you sure? I don't need to go into detail?"

"Mister-Tachi-Kun already told us," Fuu pointed behind them at Itachi who was finished with the police.

"I guess I should have expected," She said,

"Wait, how come Itachi knows so much?" Itachi walked up next to Tsunade on que, Sasuke was now clutching his sleave like a little kid,

"So your Sasuke is Sasuke Uchiha?" She mumbled, "Naruto, your father Minato Namikaze and theirs Fugaku Uchiha knew eachother. However he was never a member of the Kage Organization. Minato allowed Fugaku's decendants to be the guardians of whoever happened to hold the monsters."

This apparently joyed Sasuke, "Dude, I own you,"

"Shut up," We wacked eachother in the head.

"See Itachi's eyes? they're Sharingan, they calm the Biju's."

"Why doesn't Sasuke have it?"

"He might not've awakened them yet," Itachi said looking down at his brother. He smiled as he got an idea, "Naruto, you Sasuke and your friends go walk into the moonlight."

"Why?"

"Oh right, the full moon strengthens their powers." Tsunade muttered to Itachi. I grabbed Sasuke's hand and gestured the RDC to follow us.

The fire was dying down and the only thing showing any light was the gigantic moon. We left a trees shadow and all got in the light.

Okay so lets see. Sasuke's eyes are the predicted red. With a little black loop and commas. Gaara's were black with yellow pupils. Yugito's were black with green pupil and blue fire. Yagura's were black with glowing red. Roshi had glowing orange. Han had bright white with weirdly shaped blue pupils. Utakata and Fuu both had white with dilated pupils, hers orange and his black. And Killer Bee took off his goggles and had bright white eyes.... Spoooky,

"Oh oh hey! Whater' mine!" I waited for someone to say,

"You look... like a demented cat," Sasuke finished.

"Agreed," Gaara said about to laugh.

"YAY!" Everybody laughed again, ain't I so special? We looked up at the partially cloudy sky. And, well, it kinda started snowing, "Snow in-.... what month is it?"

"Naruto, it was New Years just a couple weeks ago, you don't remember?"

No, I don't remember cause we didn't DO anything. "... Wait, so I missed New Years AND Chrismas!?"

"Yeaaaah, I was to emo to send you anything, and I guess no one else cares." Sasuke replied,

I turned around, "WHERE THE HELL ARE ALL MY PRESENTS?!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ENNNNNNNNND

Yes, I finally looked up Konohamaru's birthday, (chapter three or four) and it was just like' a week before Chrismas. So I realized I- NARUTO completely forgot about Chrisymas.

Okay, it was storming when I wrote this. So I had to keep saving it incase the power went out XD

It took me WEEKS to finish (as you can tell) And that was with half the thing finished already! (Most of Sakura & Chiyo VS Sasori I had already written, and the the entire ending)

Now, the Epilouge. (And don't forget that I'll be makeing a sequel too)
