I do not own Naruto but I DO own the all the OCs

Kakuzu awoke after hearing a loud thump.
He sat up in his bed.
What was that noise coming from?
He got to his feet and saw something out the corner of his eye. He whipped around.
Aiko was standing by the window. Her platinum blonde hair shimmered in the moonlight and her blue eyes shined.
"Hi, Kakuzu-kun," she smiled.
"Aiko-san?" Kakuzu was surprised. "How did you get in here?"
"Does it matter?"
She walked closer to him.
She giggled but it had a malevolent tinge to it.
Kakuzu felt a foreboding feeling emitting from her body. It seemed so familiar…
Suddenly, Aiko's platinum blonde hair turned to a familiar, icy, bluish-white and her eyes turned ice-blue. Her dress changed into the black, witch's dress Kakuzu knew well. Standing before him was Shinzouko.
Kakuzu's mind raced. He had seen her die. How was she standing in front of him? Was this an illusion?
"Who are you?" Kakuzu asked.
"You don't remember me?" Shinzouko asked, flirtatiously. "That hurts."
"Why are you alive?"
"Who said I had died?"
Kakuzu growled. He hated Shinzouko more than any other witch he had met.
Shinzouko gave a quiet "eep" when Kakuzu swung his fist at her.
"Hey now," she said. "Why revert to such violence? You want to know more about us? I can tell you."
Kakuzu studied Shinzouko. "What's the catch?"
Shinzouko practically threw herself into him and put her thin arms around his neck; she looked into his eyes. "To love me, of course. Let's talk about us. The you and me us."
"As much as I hate you, it's going to take a lot to get me to love you."
"I knew you'd say that. Oh well. Maybe next time."
Shinzouko stepped back.
"Since you're not going to love me, I'm going to have to prevent you from helping your friends," she raised her hands in the air. "Dark Lightning Barrier!"
Kakuzu could see electricity lining the walls, windows and doors of the house.
Shinzouko smiled satisfied with her work.
Suddenly and shriek was heard and Meiko fell into the room.
Kakuzu stared in bewilderment. This was odd.
Genmaru, Nobuyuki, Yumi and Sorami peeped in behind her.
"Oh!" Sorami gasped, pointing at Shinzouko. "The witch with the blue hair!"
Shinzouko looked aggravated. "I'm not 'the witch with the blue hair'. It's Shinzouko."
"We don't really care," Yumi deadpanned.
"You had better!"
Yumi shrugged. "The fact that you're practically holding us hostage with all this electricity is more to worry about than what your name is."
Suddenly Meiko's phone beeped.
"A text!" Meiko smiled.
"Meiko-chan!" Genmaru scolded. "This is not the time for text-!"
"It's from Tenko-chan! She says she, Erena-chan, Taemi-chan, Sasori-kun and Hidan-kun are being held hostage!"
"Hostage?" Kakuzu turned swiftly to look at Meiko. "By who?"
"Ah," Shinzouko said. "Seems Kanjou and Seishin are halfway through the plan."
"Plan?" Genmaru eyed Shinzouko.
Shinzouko cackled. "If I told you it wouldn't matter. I have electric force fields everywhere. Your feminine friend over there said it himself."
"Shinzouko," Kakuzu growled. "You had better tell us what's going on or-"
"If you want to know, you have to disable my magic."
"I'm thinking she controls her magic with with her own magic source, like you, Sasori-kun and Hidan-kun's jutsus," Nobuyuki said. "In the world of ninjas, when you defeat the user of the jutsu, the jutsu is broken, right? So if we defeat her…"
"The effects of the magic are broken!" Sorami grinned. "Ooh! This is so like volume 3 of…never mind."
Meiko threw a nearby vase at Shinzouko. It caught her by surprise and smashed into her left arm.
"Was that good?" Meiko asked.
Shinzouko growled. "You little-!"
"Eep!" Meiko hid behind Genmaru.
Everyone gave a look of annoyance.
"Let's try this again," Nobuyuki said.
He formed a ball of energy and shot it at Shinzouko.
This time Shinzouko readily blocked it.
Genmaru grabbed a chair and whacked her with it.
Shinzouko got up, red-faced. "You hit me, with a chair?"
Genmaru swung at her again; Yumi swung a kick at her.
"I know I'm supposed to be courteous to ladies," Genmaru smirked. "But you're a witch."
"Ha!" Shinzouko shot a blast of electricity at the boys.
Genmaru and Yumi barely dodged.
Shinzouko smirked.
"Lighten up a little!" she laughed as the shot electricity in random places.
Kakuzu dodged easily and punched her.
Shinzouko flew backwards; Shinzouko got up, but she looked weakened.
Kakuzu smirked. He was just going to have to pound it out of her.
Shinzouko saw the look in his eyes and immediately and ran to get out the way.
Kakuzu hit the wall, instead, shocking himself.
"Kakuzu-kun!" Meiko and Sorami shrieked. "Oh-no!"
"I'm fine," Kakuzu locked eyes with Shinzouko again.
"Keep trying," she grinned.
Kakuzu wanted to just go all out on her, but the house was very old; if he was too reckless the house would come down on all of them. Why did those witches always catch them in the wrong places?
"What are you doing," a voice suddenly asked.
Kakuzu and the others turned to see Katamaru in the doorway.
"Katamaru-kun," Meiko said. "When did you get here?"
"I've been watching," he said.
"And not doing anything?" Genmaru asked.
"I don't understand your thoughts," Katamaru said. "Why try so hard?"
"Katamaru!" Kakuzu snapped. "I don't have time for-forget it!" Kakuzu went after Shinzouko again.
"Katamaru-kun," Sorami grabbed his arm. "I think…that Kakuzu-kun doesn't have a lot of thing that are important to him. But, maybe Hidan-kun and Sasori-kun and Taemi-chan and Erena-chan…I think he cares about them. A lot, and so, that's why he wants to beat her so much."
"This is the first time we've had friends too, Katamaru-kun," Genmaru said.
Meiko looked at Katamaru. "Don't you have anything important to you?" Meiko asked. "Are you alone, Katamaru-kun?"
Katamaru pulled out his cell phone and started texting.
"Honestly!" Genmaru yelled. "What is wrong with y-"
"Just trust me!" Katamaru snapped.

The house had been separated by force fields in three places. Outside of Sasori's room, between Kakuzu's and Genmaru, Nobyuki and Yumi's room and between Izuno's room and the stairs. Downstairs it was separated in the same way so the kitchen was separated from the living room and the living room was separated into two parts. Therefore Hareta, Suzuki, Izuno, Akako and Kuromi were shut off from everyone else. They could tell there was something going on from all the crashes they could hear, but were powerless to do anything.
"What do we do?" Suzuki asked.
Suddenly, Izuno's phone beeped.
Izuno glanced at it. It was a text from Katamaru. He pondered it for a second, and then, realizing there was nothing more he could do, he opened it.
There were only four words: There's always a loophole.
At that moment, Izuno stood.
"Izuno-kun?" Hareta looked at him inquiringly.
Izuno grinned at her. "'There's always a loophole.'"
He started pacing; the others watched intently. Then Izuno snapped his fingers and hurried to the kitchen-the only room they had access to besides theirs-and grabbed a fork.
"A freakin' fork?" Akako asked.
Izuno threw it at the force field and then smiled. "Exactly."
"Exactly what?" Suzuki asked.
"Electricity is attracted to metal. I may be able to divert the flow of electricity, literally creating a loophole that you guys can jump through."
"Seriously?" Hareta asked.
Izuno gathered and slid many metal objects into one area of the force field. Sure enough, the flow of electricity was diverting.
"Go upstairs," Izuno instructed. "A gap should appear somewhere in the force field separating hall upstairs."
Hareta, Suzuki, Akako and Kuromi obeyed. They hurried up the stairs and sure enough, a minute later, a hole appeared.
Kuromi coolly stepped up and leaped through. Akako followed and then Hareta and Suzuki as well. They hurried down the hall. Unfortunently, Sasori and Hidan's room was still blocked off.
Kuromi glanced at that fact and then barged into Kakuzu's room. Once again, the other girls had no choice but to follow.
Everyone in the room, except Katamaru, turned, surprised.
"Guys?" Genmaru was astonished.
"Heh," Katamaru smirked. "I knew Izuno-kun could do it."
"You called him?" Hareta asked.
"Don't be so surprised."
Hareta rolled her eyes but Genmaru just grinned at Katamaru.
Katamaru gave a half-smile back but then switched back to being serious.
"We're in a little predicament, if you can't already tell," Katamaru said.
Kuromi nodded and shot at Shinzouko, shooting her in the right arm.
"Gah!" Shinzouko slumped to the floor in pain.
Kuromi cursed.
Kakuzu whipped around. "Kuromi-chan?"
"I was aiming for her heart, actually," she said.
Kakuzu grinned.
Hareta kicked Shinzouko in the stomach. "Let's try this again, shall we?"
Kakuzu grabbed Shinzouko by her neck; Shinzouko cursed, hoarsly.
Kakuzu grinned evilly at Shinzouko. "Let's."

Super Special A/N:

Hello! :) Shinzouko is quite the annoyance, am I right? But she's supposed to be. I made her like that. XD So, good news, I finally updated the side fic series for this fic and I'd be glad if you guys could review it. ;) It's called, "The Days That Past". Also, I believe this fic will be coming to an end soon. That's saddening for me because this is really enjoyable to write. But who knows, I'm planning a sequal. If only writers block wouldn't get in the way. But we'll see. X) And last, but not least, I'd like to thank J-chan (Kakashi Forever) and Gothic (gothicangel0827) for reading so far. Doumo arigato, guys! And I also hope Kumi (Kumi Akatmatsu Moonstone), Icebane-chan (Icebane Alchemist), Ruby-chan (Ruby5602), Xx-kun (XxlovepainxX), Ai-chan (Inu17), Sapphire-chan (Sapphire X Dreams) and Magenta-chan (Magenta of the Shadows) will keep R&R-ing. Arigato gozaimasu everyone! (Yeah, I know that list was long. XD)
