Hey guys it's me again. New chapter YAY!

Disclaimer: You know the drill. I don't own Naruto just the plot and the original characters.

Warnings: Again not to many. You got your nosebleed. There is some harassment in here and pure epic-ness of Itachi.

'Lylas'

'Sasuke'

'Kakashi'

'Mine'

"We need to talk." The purple haired woman said. Blinking I tried to clear my vision to see her properly. It didn't work. "Sweetheart." I muttered. "I don't even know your name, you can't say things like that yet." Someone choked, but the woman above me didn't say anything, just grabbed my arm and forced me into a sitting position, where I promptly puked into her lap. She wasn't even fazed which I guess was a good thing.

"Konan." I heard Deidara say from somewhere in the room. "I don't think that it's wise to move her at the moment." 'I'd have to agree with him on this one.' I thought. Though, the fact that there were five blurry forms other than Akira and Konan in the room distracted me.

"Let me try something." Akira said softly as she placed a shaking hand on my stomach and the other on the back of my neck. For a moment nothing happened. Then I let out a surprised gasp and Chi was suddenly forced into my body. Shivering violently, I tried to press back against the intrusion, trying to get rid of the unbearable pressure. Something snapped and I screamed, causing Akira to let go of me abruptly and I collapsed forward into Konan, who caught me in surprised arms.

Breathing heavily, I pushed my self up on shaky arms and found that, despite the initial shock I felt better. My vision was cleared and I was able to see Konan properly. She was a bit taller than me, with shoulder length purple hair, brown eyes and a lip ring in her lower lip. She was surprisingly stunning, and I couldn't help but feel guilty about puking on her.

However, more pressing matters needed to be taken care of. I whipped around and looked over to Akira who looked about dead on her feet. "What did you do?" I asked. She just shook her head and collapsed. With surprising speed I was able to stop her fall somewhat, but misjudged my strength a bit and lost balance. 'Well that worked well enough.' I thought feeling somewhat proud of myself.

Konan helped me arrange Akira on the bed, before she turned to me with a serious expression. "Clean up." She said curtly. "You're going to meet the boss." Deidara's face twitched for a moment, but I noticed it and unease settled in my stomach. "Can I respectfully decline?" I asked hopefully. She wasn't amused and bluntly asked. "Would you like to live?" Without hesitation I nodded. "Then no." She turned on her heels and walked away. Sighing, I decided another shower was in order and I was wondering about the cloths I was going to wear.

While I was planning, I didn't notice the men leaving my room until the door shut rather forcibly. Shrugging, I took my shower and when I stepped out, I was surprised to find new cloths hanging on the doorknob of the bathroom door. They were pretty much identical to the ones I had before, but they were my size and I now had a bra! It was amazing.

With a sigh I dressed and made my way to the bedroom door. Konan stood there like a statue, only moving when I was ready to follow down the hall. She walked swiftly and stiffly, however, I was content with the silence.

She led me out of the house and to a patch of grass just outside the protection wards that surrounded the house. Any other person would have made the jump at freedom. I, however, am not every other person, so instead I followed the purpled haired woman down the stone steps that appeared when the grass gave way. It was obnoxiously cold and I could see my breath wafting out in front of me. There was no light, but it was a straight path so it wasn't like I was in danger of falling over.

I missed the one step and I fell forward into Konan, who glared back at me. Smiling, I righted myself and held myself with dignity. Sighing, Konan threw open the wooden door in front of her and entered an equally chilly and dark cavern. Nine men stood elevated above me, all dark, except for the rainbow outlining their bodies. Konan soon joined them and she too had a rainbow outlining.

"State you're name." A chilling voice said, echoing darkly off the walls and reverberating in my head. "Kali." I said, my voice easy and conversational. "You're full name." Obviously he wasn't amused by the fact that I wasn't cowering on the floor. "Subaku no Kalico." 'Kalico? What the hell? Where'd that come from? All well what said and done sometimes just sucks.' "A child of the sand." The voice said sounding thoughtful. "An underling of the Kazekage. Are you familiar with him?" 'Are you asking if I've worked with him or if I've slept with him? Because I've done both sweetheart.' For obvious reasons I didn't say that out loud. I mean really, how many people can admit to sleeping with the seemingly cold Kazekage? So instead I answered with. "I do missions for him. I was promoted to General just a couple of months ago."

He was silent for a moment and rubbed my arms. "Why would a General under the Kazekage fight for a leaf girl?" Shit. Should have known that they'd know who Akira was. Does that mean they know I'm lying? "We have a strong friendship with the Leaf Village, the Kazekage would never forgive me if I didn't save one of them if I was able to." Regardless I was going to keep up my bluff, because there was still that chance that they had no clue.

"Hmmm." Again he was thoughtful. "You're strong I'll give you that. Few people can keep up with bandits drained of chakra and arms full of an unconscious girl." I wasn't sure I liked where this was going, should I be thankful or enraged. "However…" Why was there always a however? "You are not strong enough to break our wards and you are sick, so therefore useless. Hidan she's all yours." 'Great.' I took a defensive stance.

Magenta eyes stared hard at me, but he did not move. "Wait Pein." A new voice rang out in the cavern. "We could use her as ransom." The room fell silent. Calmly I took a seat on the floor. They weren't going to listen to me. "Explain." Pein demanded. "We still need the nine tailed fox, the one that the Hokage still possesses. She is a General. The Kazekage will come for her, we capture him and the Hokage is soon to follow." "What will we do with her until then?" "Train her. Take her on missions. She won't leave without Akira, and Akira is no fighter. If she runs Akira dies. We already know she is strong and Akira did something to heal her."

There was another silence. 'Whoever this guy is he sure as hell knows how to keep me in check. However, I don't think he realizes that I can get a message out if they take me on missions.' Pein seemed to realize this too. "She doesn't have to run in order to get word out. Who will watch her on missions? Better yet, who will willingly do it?" "I will." The voice replied without hesitation. "Now wait a minute Itachi." Another voice exclaimed. "You're not the only one going on those missions you know." Itachi? Itachi was saving my life? 'Wow I'm surprised.' Not that I was going to complain.

"You know," I said, addressing the general direction of the new voice. "I will not be a burden on you. As you well know, I am good when I am drained of chakra, imagine me with it. I am also no blushing virgin, you want something done I do it." I faced the direction of Pein. "At the same time you have to know I am not so easily controlled. I like my space. Respect it or I won't respect yours. You could kill me, yes, I understand that, but…" I turned to Konan, whose eyes watched me with curiosity. "Then you'll never find out who I am."

Pein laughed. "You are filled with fire and know what you want, but what makes you think we care?" "Nothing. Because looking at how all of you act, I can guess your personalities right off and quiet frankly, mine is better." Suddenly my feet didn't touch the floor as a hand held tightly to my throat. Pein's other hand lingered dangerously close to my breast. 'Ewwww.' I thought, but didn't voice. "You're on dangerous waters." Pein hissed. "Good thing I'm a good swimmer." I replied calmly.

"Mm," He began. "Really?" "Pein." Konan's voice startled me and the man let go of me. "Fine." He said eventually. "She's your responsibility Itachi. Train her well."

Gaara sat heavily in the chair and stared at the barely pregnant 21 year old in front of him. Sakura fidgeted slightly in her seat. "So it's true?" He said in his usual monotone. She nodded. Sighing, he clasped his hands and leaned forward over the desk. "What do you want me to do about it?" She fidgeted some more. "You slept with her once didn't you?" She blurted. Slightly taken aback he stared at her. "Why should that matter?" He finally asked.

She stood and paced. "Since you guys stayed good friends afterward we didn't think much of it, but Lylas told us SaiKura would use you as her village leader if she ever had to go under cover. And we believe she has. She's not dead, we know that for sure, but she hasn't contacted us or come back. She wouldn't abandon her country and the elders are getting pretty excited and trying to turn the chair over to Lecar. We can't let that happen."

"Lecar?" Gaara asked confused. "Why Lecar? He's dumber than a box of rocks, he wouldn't be able to control a lawn mower much less a country." Sakura nodded. "Exactly and that's what we're trying to avoid. A dumb man is easily manipulated and the elders can take control through him. They tried doing that with SaiKura, because they thought she was damaged by the life she had before the Village in the Mist. Problem is they didn't know that her memories before then had been erased." "Wait erased? What are you talking about? She talks about her childhood fondly." Gaara was so confused.

"That's what we thought as well." Sakura replied. "However, Shinomaru revealed to us that he had helped the original Mizukage plant memories into her mind. We asked him to tell us what happened to her, but he refused to, it was locked away for a reason and one day she may get them back, but she's only got a year. With the memories came a seal, one that shortened her life until she was twenty. Lylas believes that she'll live longer than that, but Shinomaru's not so sure."

"Kind of a coincidence that she's disappeared now, isn't it?" He was staring out the window and looking down on the peaceful village that he ran. "Only a year to live and the elders are already planning on passing the chair. And she can't so a thing because she's missing." "Don't go blaming the elders." The pink haired lady chastised. "The bandits where going after Akira's research, SaiKura showed up at the wrong time." "Are you sure?" "What?" "Are you sure?" He repeated. "Why would they go for the medic Nin and not the head of research who lives a floor down? Why go for a woman who lives next to powerful ninjas when the other is unguarded?" "Unless that was part of the plan." Sakura finished.

The room was silent for a moment. "I'll inform Naruto." She said suddenly. "I still think that SaiKura will send a message to you. Keep a look out." He just nodded and waved her away.

She was barely out the door, when Temari burst in looking thoroughly confused. In her hands she held long raven black hair wrapped in cloth that had red clouds on it. She through the package on the desk and a figurine tumbled his way. Picking it up, he noticed that it was of a calico cat with hazel eyes. "What the hell is this?" He asked. "What are the Akatsuki playing at?" Temari shrugged. "I don't know." She said. "All in know is the man that delivered it, was terrified. Don't go looking for him because he's dead. Poor bastard was poisoned."

Gaara shrugged. "We'll look into it later, for now we have a war princess to save." Temari nodded and they left the room, leaving a Calico cat to stand in the shadow of a penholder.

Whoo-hoo it's done. Hope you like it. Reviews are love.
