This chapter is dedicated to NarutoGirl21, who was kind enough to review. We really appreciate it and made this chapter as soon as we could. It really meant a lot to us. Also, if you can't tell the 'quiet one' is Aishi.

"This is fucking freezing!" he complains as I start squirm like crazy to get out with cutting my neck. As I free my hands he starts to talk again. "Leader is going to be really mad at me…" He sighs, why would he be afraid of the leader? He doesn't remember I killed him? I think to myself as I twist in an awkward position to get free, I take a deep breath before taking off again.

Cyn POV

"Where's your friend?" the blue one asked grinning a toothy grin.

"She's up ahead, don't worry I'll catch up in a moment." He glared back. What? I'm only speaking the truth.

"Your friend will be nothing but ash when he's done with her." The puppet spoke. I growled before slipping my silt into the crevasses filling the shell with finely grated glass. I smirked snapping my fingers. I and the real Akatsuki member leaped from his puppet with a yelp, covered in tiny cuts. I laughed at his scowl. "You'll pay"

"Sure… I want you all to know the name of the girl who's going to kick your ass. My name is Cynana Kurochi, now bitches lets dance!" I stood reaching behind my back and with a click my breast-plate fell to the forest floor with a clunk.

"Boobies!" it sounded like a child yelling for something he'd never even seen before. The masked one put his arms out towards me making grabbing motions with his hands. I couldn't help but laugh. Blood tickled out of all the members' noses including even the girl. Damn I'm good.

"What the hell are you trying!" The shark man yelled holding one hand to his nose. I winked at him before he and all the other members collapsed in a heap. All but one. Mr. Tall dark and handsome turned and stabbed my shadow clone before she could get to him.

"Well shit…" How the hell did he see her? I disbanded my other clones and as the poof-ed into smoke.

A hand burst through the haze aimed right for my throat. I barely dogged him as I hit the ground. I grabbed my breastplate and snapped it on before he was at me again. He ran at me with a kunai. I ran up his chest and over him and before he knew it I had a dagger in my hand. I turned to stab him but only met his blade. We clashed as sparks flew. He was stronger, it was obvious. I wasn't going to win by sheer physical strength. I jumped away and onto a branch. "Fire-Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" I'm not strong with fire-style but I know it. Circles of fire burst towards him, dancing like flowers. I caught the tail end of his clock.

Throwing it off, he glared at me. I looked down at him, just glaring and waiting for him to move first. Before I knew it he had his hand wrapped around my throat. Just his hand, the rest of him was still standing on the forest floor. "Fuck…" I struggle as he lowers me down to him. He reaches himself holding me up to his face. It's still covered with a mask but Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome was definitely smirking. My hands wrapped around his as I tried not to die. Fucking asshole, can't he be a little gentler?

"I'll let you go if you give up." I growled, but as my sight waned I had no other choice. I tapped his hand staring into his big green eyes, pleading. He loosened his grip, gently setting me down. I sat trying to catch my breath before her grabbed my sides and picked me up again. I stuttered turning red as our faces came inches away. He flipped me over his shoulder and started to walk towards Aishi's location. I would have just given up, he was stronger, we both knew it, but I'm not letting them take Aishi. I wiggled making Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome think I was just getting comfy, Witch… I kinda was, and reached to the floor. I used my glass to help me pick up a fallen log. It was burnt from the flying bastard's bombs but I should be able to knock out an Akatsuki member… I think.

Clonk! He fell to the ground lifeless! Woot! Baby it worked! Except… the bastard landed on me! His head rested in the crook of my neck, his arms were wrapped around me. I was so screwed! If any of the wake up… I'm just… fucked. I managed to wiggle the shit out of him and get free. Now I just needed to find Aishi.

Aishi POV

I wonder where Cyn is. I'd hear her if she was close… I think I'll just take a break to rest up in case someone is still coming after me. I close my eyes and take a deep breath all my focus on my hearing. Not much later a hear a very loud call. It has to be Cyn, but it might be a trap… I grab my bow loading another chakra arrow running towards the noise ready to fire. I can make out a figure and I keep running.

"You're okay!" A really loud voice exclaims. Startling me and I shoot the arrow, thankfully able to move the bow at the last second. The arrow landed in the tall tree right next to Cyn, oh no… She glares at me, her lips twitching. "Aishi… What. The. Fuck!?" She yells.

"Cyn, you scared me!" I try to explain, " it's good your alright, but I expected nothing else from you."

"Okay then!" She replies, giddy. Cyn then runs up and hugs me, as I try not to fall down from the almost hi-tackle.

I still have a sneaking suspicion that were not in the clear yet. I look around the forest and see no one, it's not reassuring though. I get a chill and look over to see Cyn had the same reaction.

"Cyn, it's getting dark we should find somewhere to crash for the night." I suggest trying to see if she'll agree.

Cyn nods and goes to grab me again and takes off running, she doesn't always have to do that…

We came across a rundown cabin with a tree slowly splitting it apart. Thankfully, the door was intact. Once inside the barely recognizable cabin, we found just enough room to sleep.
