FINALLY I got this chapter DONE!!!!! I'm sorry it took to long, but my life is in complete kayos. My only free day of the week is Tuesday, with all the events and things in my schedule. Seriously, I'm ready to pack up my bags and find a secret portal into Naruto world! Anyways, sorry for boring you with my life's story.

I do not, nor will I ever, own Naruto… Unless, somehow I am a long lost relative of the creator whom I have never met, but that is very unlikely…hmm maybe I can find someway for him to adopt me, nah to much work!

CHAPTER 8

The pale skin man watched, hidden by the shadows. He wore a beige smock, tied up with a large purple obi. His hair was black and lanky. His flesh was a pale as the snow. All together he looked like some form of a snake. His name was Orochimaru.

He smiled to himself. Every-thing was going according to plan. He had sent Kabuto, to lead the akatsuki right into his trap, all the while they thought they were getting information about him… Sure Kabuto had been placed under a jutsu by Sasori, his formal partner, 2 years ago in an attempt to find out more information on him. But he had seen right through the attempt, and had removed it within months of it being placed. Since then He had made sure Kabuto built up that trust between the Akatsuki, that he was a loyal servant. Now was the time to fully attack.

The plan was Kabuto would meet the 2 members of Akatsuki in the subway, feed them their so called information, and when they left one of the subways would 'accidentally' go off their track. Even if the members survived he was willing to fight. He would have to make it quick, though, seeing as a certain Sasuke didn't like to be kept waiting….

MEANWHILE… Sasori was grumbling lowly under his breath "Stupid Hidan, having to bring those 2 women into this"

Hidan had insisted that Karinai and Leara come with them just incase something happened. He, Sasori, had protested greatly and surprisingly so had Leara. But, alas, they did not succeed, and now, He and Hidan stood in front of the 2 females waiting for Kabuto to show up.

Leara hated this. She absolutely hated this. She just wanted to get her things and go. Unfortunately, Hidan and Karinai had wanted her to stay, and now she was standing behind 2 S-ranked criminals, who were waiting to gather information about her old sensei. "This sucks" She thought bitterly.

Hidan turned around to Leara and gave a curt nod. Leara nodded in return and pulled her daughter and herself into the shadows, so that they were unable to be seen.

All 4 of them heard the door to the subway compartment open then close. There, in front of them, appeared a man. He had grey hair, appeared to be around in his early 20's, and stood around 5 nine.

"Kabuto…" Sasori began, "You said you had some information for us…"

Kabuto smiled gently "Yes, I do."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOo TIME Pass OoOoOoOo

Kabuto walked through the subways door and out into the tunnel. He looked over his shoulder to make sure no-one was following him, He, then, quickly made his over toward a darkened mass along the wall.

"Did they buy it?" Orochimaru asked in a cool tone.

"They always do." Kabuto stated.

Orochimaru smirked "Good, let's get ready." He turned and started making his way to an unoccupied subway in the corner.

"Orochimaru-samma, there's something else you should know." Kabut said, following behind.

Orochimaru continued walking, but looked over his shoulder to indicate that he was looking.

"While I was giving the information I noticed another chakra in the room."

Orochimaru stopped dead in his tracks. He turned around to face Kabuto. "Was it another member?" he asked impatiently.

Kabuto shrunk down a little, he always hated when Orochimaru did this. "No, it wasn't. B...but it seemed familiar."

"As long as it wasn't another member then it doesn't concern us." With that, Orochimaru turned around and continued walking.

Silently Kabuto followed.

"Besides…" Orochimaru said in a cool, snake like, voice. "Even if we don't kill a member of the Akatsuki, we'll at least have killed some-one."…

MEANWHILE….

Leara held tightly to her daughters hand as they made their way to the exit. She had changed out of her work uniform into a long sleeved, black and white striped dress. She had a butterfly burette holding back her bangs.

She had made sure her daughter had changed too, so she was now wearing black spandex pants with a long sleeved green dress over top. She also had a butterfly burette.

Leara had decided to leave as soon as Kabuto had left. They had said goodbye to Hidan, and Sasori, and had made their way to the exit. Leara and Karinai stepped out of the subway. Leara noted that the air had gotten quite cooler.

"I'm glad we changed, looks like its gotten cooler"

Leara looked down to her daughter. Karinai grasped her hand and had a blank expression. Leara knew, though, that she was bursting to ask questions. Sasori had made her promise not to say anything about the meeting, with the threat of him turning her into a puppet.

"Sweat-heart…" Leara said softly.

Karinai looked up

"You can talk."

"I know, I just don't have anything to say." Her daughter answered as they walked down the subway line. All the subways were turned off so they didn't have to worry about any danger.

The 2 females walked in silence for a few minutes, until…

"…Pork chop sandwiches…"

Leara stopped, and looked at her daughter, who continued walking. "What?"

"Pork chop sandwiches." Karinai said innocently. "I now have something to say."

Leara tried to contain her giggling, but it didn't work. She smiled at her daughter, who returned the grin and giggling, then started walking. Karinai skipped.

That's when she felt it. The worst pain she had felt so far. Then as if someone was whispering in her ear she heard a snake like voice whisper "Bye, bye. Now you're going to die."

She turned around to see a subway car clambering down the tracks. Not towards her, but towards…

"Karinai!"

"Karinai move!" She screamed. Then she bolted towards her daughter.

Karinai turned around in surprise just as her mother had jumped in front of her.

"Mommy?" she whispered.

She felt herself being thrown over to the side. She landed with a thud onto the platform. She was just about to get up before she saw a subway slam into her mother's body….

…Hidan had just stepped outside of the subway, when he had seen the car speed pass him. "Hmm, probably nothing" he thought.

Sasori stood behind him. "Subways normally don't run this late." Sasori said casually.

They had both turned to walk in the opposite direction, when the screaming started.

"That sounds like…" Hidan thought

"Karinai" Sasori said

They're eyes looked for one second before they bolted towards the screaming. They arrived to a screaming Karinai. She sounded like she was screaming bloody murder.

Sasori, who couldn't put up with the noise any longer, placed a hand over the child's mouth. Slowly her screaming turned down into a whimper, and then shallow breathing.

Sasori slowly removed his hand. Her face was plastered in pure terror. Her eyes were blank with expression, her lip trembled along with the rest of her body, and she had changed at least 3 shades white. Sasori couldn't help thinking: "Holy shit, it's Orochimaru's long lost daughter" But he quickly pushed it out of his mind.

Karinai's eyes where staring at the subway, which had crashed into a stone wall a few feet in front of them. Sasori and Hidan both looked at each other. Hidan shrugged his shoulders as if to say "I don't know what's wrong"

Sasori turned back to Karinai. "Karinai where's your mother?"

Karinai still faced forward, her eyes lightly flickered to indicate that she had heard.

Sasori tried again. "Karina where's Le…" His voice slowly trailed off. Sasori turned towards the mass of metal, and then to Hidan who was also looking at the subway.

"Shit no." Hidan whispered.

Hidan took a few steps toward the crashed subway. He was just about to say something when the creaking of metal was heard.

BAM

A large sheet of metal went flying through the air, over to where Hidan had been standing moments before….

… a sound of footsteps.

Clack, clack, clack

A figure of a young woman, was seen walking towards Hidan.

"Jesus, Mary, Jashin" Hidan remarked

"My God" Sasori muttered.

Karinai just looked straight ahead and whispered "Mommy"

Leara's Point Of View

"Karinai MOVE!"

I Picked up my daughter and threw her. I turned just in time to see the subways lights blazing in front of me.

I was a dear caught in the headlights.

"Think Leara, think"

"What can I do, it's too late to move out of the way."

"You can stop it, you're strong"

"Not that strong, who do you think I am Tsunade?!"

"Then what can you use"

"A force field built up of my chakra"

I relaxed my body, and became one with the chakra flowing within me. I felt it surging through my body, pulsing as if it was blood in my veins. My breaths drew calm and still.

The sound of the subway surrounded my body.

I forced my chakra towards my hands, and held them in front of my body.

The subway collided against my body. I felt like a rag doll being, as my body flew in front of the subway. I felt pain, but it wasn't like the feeling of death, so I at least knew that my chakra was holding up. I had never used this technique, only heard of it.

I felt the reality of pain shoot through me as I hit the wall. I was in between a subway and a concrete wall, and it hurt like a thousand deaths.

The chakra in my hands slowly drained out of my hands. I tried to move but it hurt too much. I didn't know how bad I looked, but one thing was sure, I smelt blood. My head pounded, and for the first time in a long time I thought I was scared. I felt my lips tremble as my cheeks became wet with tears, which mixed in with the blood.

My head was already pounding, when I heard my daughter start to scream. My body had started to turn numb, my vision blurred, and I felt tiredness come over my body.

"I'm going to die"

I slowly closed my eyes

"NO! Don't do this. We can pull through. After all healways did, and probably still does. We are not weak, and if you think we are going to die then maybe we are like what he said we should do back at the academy: "…You lack something that everyone needs to know…hatred. Without that you're just a weak team mate, and if you're just a weak team mate what's the point of you even being part of the ANBU…"

That voice, from years ago, rang though my head. There was no way that I was going to do that.

" Even though he said I had already gained his respect years later, I'm not going to give in that I'm weak"

Even though my body was screaming for me to stop, I collected my chakra again in my hand, as I laid it on the piece of metal that pinned me to the wall. I concentrated hard on my chakra making it smooth and thin, pulsing through my hand, and the forced all of it with shear will into my hand and through my finger tips.

I felt the metal fly away, and heard it land somewhere. I couldn't tell you where, my vision was all blurred. I started walking to where I had last heard my daughter, but before I made it I felt myself fall into total numbness as my world went black…

NORMAL POV

Karinai was the first to run to her mother, then Hidan, then Sasori.

"MOMMY!" Her daughter exclaimed, as she placed 2 fingers on her mother's neck.

Sasori looked the young woman up and down. Her blonde hair was now stained with red, and resembled his hair. The dress which she had been wearing was now torn in several places, and it too was stained with blood. He still felt a chakra pulse. It was small, and insignificant, but it was still a form of life.

"She's still alive." He muttered to Hidan, who nodded in agreement.

Sasori noticed something in Hidan's eyes, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Then it hit him. Hidan was considering bringing them back with them.

"Hidan.." Sasori began "You know we can't bring outsiders to the hideout. If we did, Leader would kick our asses."

"I'll take the blame, after all I am immortal" Hidan said defensively. "And besides…" He said in a soft, yet cheeky way "We have been one member short."

Sasori sighed , how could he argue with that. They had been looking for a new member, and if Leara could survive a subway hitting her, he supposed Leader would think she had some potential… "I'm going to get in so much shit for this"

"Can I trust you to carry her" Sasori asked, turning to Hidan to find that he had her already in his arms.

"Karinai…" Sasori said directing his attention to the 4 year old "Do you think you can keep up with us, or do you want me to carry you?"

Karinai, looked like she was thinking before jumping into his arms. He groaned with annoyance "Of coarse." …

That night 2 men were seen running through the back allies, caring 2 females; a child who fell asleep just at the boundaries of Konoha. And a mother who was slowly losing her life minute by minute…
