1zara-uchiha1 and I don't own the Naruto cast or anything else you might recognize. 1zara-uchiha1 owns Laura and I own Kahlan. Together we own the plot.

Chapter 90

Note: Konoha ninjas are the only ninjas with hearts plus Konan, everyone else doesn't.

~Laura's POV

I push the worries away as Kahlan and I slowly walk on the road, some bits are destroyed, probably from Deidara and some buildings are already going up in flames. I think for a moment about where Sakura would be… she would probably be at the village inn or… I know! She would be at the beach tending to any of the hurt people! Or at least near the beach.

I nod to myself before stepping forwards in front of Kahlan as she carries Timothy, for some reason Timothy reminds me of Naruto with the messy blonde hair and blue eyes.

"I have an idea of where Sakura or Tsunade could be," I say while jogging a little as I see Kahlan catching up with me, "she would be near the beach to defend and heal everyone," I say while nodding my head, "she probably has other ninjas there as well to help defend them from any Akatsuki attacks," I say while speeding up a little, from where Mei pointed, it must be on the other side of town… perfect.

"That makes sense," Kahlan says as I think for a moment, before looking up at the tallest building around, maybe I can see the beach from up there at the top.

"I'll run to the top of the building and see if I can see the beach from there, maybe I can see where about everyone is," I say with a grin as Kahlan nods her head slowly.

"Be careful," she says as I nod my head and make my sign to gather my chakra before running towards the tall skyscraper up it, it takes me a minute or two before I finally reach the top and hold my hand up, the sun is getting in my eyes.

I look around the town and see many selected places are each destroyed or burning. I sigh a little before looking to the edges of the beach till I see a crowded area of the beach, way more crowded than what it normally would be.

That must be where everyone is, that or there is a party going on down there.

I nod once more to myself before gathering my chakra at my feet before jumping off of the skyscraper which isn't the smartest thing I could have done. I feel like I'm skydiving right now!

"Yaaahoooooo!" I yell happily while waving my arms about, my chakra flickers for a second before I quickly regain it, whoops, almost lost it there. I quickly hit the ground and a large shock racks through my body before I shake myself; that felt very weird.

I wave to Kahlan while running over to her and see that Timothy is staring at me like… I am superman… why superman? Because he is epic like me.

"That was soo cool," he says while grinning, it seems that looking at the awesome ninja stuff is keeping his mind off of the pain. I grin back to him with a grin before making two hand signs before messing around with the chakra in my stomach to make it as light as air, making it turn into water before spitting it onto my hand.

Since it's as light as air, it flows a little so I can shape it. I shape it into a bunny shape before gathering my chakra into my hand before sliding my chakra into the bunny, I wrapped it in my chakra so its keeps its shape.

"Taadaaa~" I sing while throwing the bunny up and down with a grin, one of the perks of having an awesome sensei. He likes teaching you funny and awesome stuff like how to make your chakra light and shape-able.

"Cool," he says with glee as I hand him the weird shaped bunny but hey you know it's a bunny. Plus he seems to like it.

Kahlan grins to me before nodding her head in code to lead the way. I nod my head before running off in the direction of the beach but stay by the side of the street where the shadows of the buildings are.

I glance back over my shoulder to see Kahlan following after me which is good, plus Timothy seems to be enjoying the ride as well. We hit a cross section which makes me sigh before taking the left and then a right and then another left, I'm starting to get a little dizzy now.

"Okay~ we'll be there soon~" I sing with a tune as I can smell the salty water from here, so nice and refreshing. I soon skid to a stop as I get the same bad feeling I got before… when Mei died… I look round and see an alleyway and notice something in it… two… red glowing eyes… uh oh.

I continue running but form two hand signs and change the flow of my chakra like Kisame taught me; I feel feint for a second and see… that I have stopped… when did I stop.

"Why did you stop," Kahlan asks as I look to her before shaking my head, it seems I was in a Genjutsu for a split second, I grin a little before I continue to run on, no doubt Itachi or Sasuke is in that alleyway and I do not plan on stopping to find out!

"Let's go quickly!" I yell backwards as I see Kahlan give me a confused look before following me. I look forwards and see a pair of Akatsuki cloaks RIGHT in front of me which causes me to skid to slow down… but I don't skid fast enough and end up sliding right into the taller Akatsuki member, "owwwieeee my noseeee!" I whine while rubbing my nose, I think it's bleeding now, I really do think its bleeding down, I rub my nose one last time before checking my hand… yep it's bleeding.

"Another fucking nosebleed bitch, I fucking feel fucking honoured," I hear one of the members say and like that… my heart has stopped… no… not the members who have no hearts to others.

I slowly incline my head up to see Hidan smirking and well… I cannot see Kakuzu's face. I am guessing he does not look amused.

"What are you two doing," Kakuzu questions as I slowly stand up while holding my nose, why must I slid into so many tall hard people? Meanies.

"Nothing big, we're looking for our team, we got separated," Kahlan says while straightening herself out as I jog back to her and stand beside her, hopefully we can shield Timothy from them and safely get away.

"That's a lie," Kakuzu says while taking a step towards us as I gulp a little… okay… that was kinder scary to hear. I shake my head a little before looking from Hidan and Kakuzu, Hidan is leaning from side to side like he is trying to see what is past us.

"No it isn't, why would you say that," Kahlan questions as she takes a step back a little, I glance to both her and Timothy to see Kahlan keeping a straight face but she seems a little panicked in body language and Timothy looks frightened… I am a little as well.

"Because your team is behind you," Kakuzu says while crossing his arms over his chest as I freeze again as I slowly pull my arms backwards and indeed… feel someone behind me… uh oh.

I slowly look behind me to see Kisame and Itachi standing there, Kisame is shaking his head and Itachi… is well… being Itachi.

Kahlan seems to freeze solid as I see Timothy look back at the two before gasping a little, probably at Kisame's very cool skin. "What are you two doing with a child," Itachi questions as Kahlan slowly turns round to face him, a blank and serious look on her face as she does that.

"We… we're going to take him to the Konoha ninjas, he has a broken leg," Kahlan says while giving Itachi a stern look, probably saying not to try anyway and that our minds are made up.

"That is not allowed," Kakuzu says from behind us as I look to Kakuzu and then to Kahlan and THEN to Itachi, I'm getting a little dizzy here.

"Well we are doing it, no questions needed," I say while crossing my arms and moving round to shield Timothy from Kakuzu and Hidan. Kakuzu only seems to glare a little as I shake my head, "no-no-no-no-no-no," I say while shaking my head.

"This is not up for your opinion," Kakuzu says while sprinting at us, grabs my shoulder roughly before pulling me forwards, making me also hop over to Hidan to grabs both of my shoulders, a crazy like smirk on his lips.

I watch with fear as Kakuzu grabs Timothy off of Kahlan before pushing Kahlan over to Itachi who grabs her shoulders before wrapping one arm round her waist, stopping her from lunching herself at Kakuzu.

"Put him down!" Kahlan yells while glaring at Kakuzu as he holds Timothy up by his shirt. Kakuzu seems to ignore her as Timothy starts crying loudly in fear which hurts my heart like a knife to see.

"Leave him alone! Please!" I beg while looking at Kakuzu, who seems to ignore me as well while I watch his free hand change its colour which I recognize…no… "Kakuzu don't do it!" I yell out as I watch his hand crash into the back of his neck. I watch with fear as the sound of crying suddenly stops… nothing… absolutely… nothing.

I grind my teeth a little while looking down, I feel myself tremble as my eyes start to sting again, tears filling up in my eyes.

"You heartless bastard," Kahlan says though her voice is a little shaken as well. Kakuzu doesn't at all seem fazed at the insult before walking off into the alleyway before shortly returning with nothing in his hands.

"This is a war, it's all for one here, no one will spare your life because you're a child or a woman, we did not teach you to save people you have no relations with," Kakuzu says while crossing his arms over each other, giving us both stern looks like you would give if you were telling off a child.

"Kakuzu is right," Itachi says while slowly pulling Kahlan at arm's length, "you cannot save everyone you see who needs help nor would anyone come to save you if you were hurt, this is war, saving everyone is never going to happen, like no one dying in a war," Itachi says while slowly letting go of Kahlan who is looking down, trembling a little.

"I know that," she says while taking a step away from Itachi, glaring at him a little, "but I could have saved him if you guys didn't randomly appear and kill him," she says sternly as I slowly push Hidan's hands away and walk over to Kahlan.

"Kahlan," I whisper softly as she looks to me, unshed tears in her eyes which she is forcing back.

"Still, what would you gain from saving a child," Kakuzu questions as I hear another explosion in the background, Deidara seems to be going completely crazy with the explosions.

"I wouldn't gain anything," Kahlan begins before looking to Kakuzu with her glare, "I would be reassuring myself that I am still human," she says as I glance from each side before I watch Itachi turn away from the group and start walking in the direction of the beach.

"Kahlan, Laura, Kisame, we're leaving," he calls while glancing slightly to us three, his Sharingan still active. I gulp a little before looking to Kahlan, she stares at him for a second before sighing slight and nodding her head. If we stay with Kisame and Itachi, we'll most likely run into a Konoha ninja but… truthfully… I feel much safer with them.

I sigh softly before glancing back to Kakuzu and Hidan; I give them a small wave before walking after my team and walk beside Kisame who seems like a giant to my height. I look up to Kahlan who is walking in the middle of our group but she isn't saying anything, she is probably thinking right now… why do I have this bad feeling again… it hasn't left yet… but… I really want it to go away. It's more or less saying that something bad is going to happen.
