Okay. Here goes the next chapter.

CHABAM! : O

"I'm so bored," Xeala trudged through a dense forest, having gone in the complete opposite direction that Itachi thought she was going in. I wonder what Py's doing…
Pyralis! How are you!?
…
Pyralis? Py are you okay?

…
Py, can you talk to me please? It's not like you're so old you've died, right?

…
Pyralis please talk you're scaring me now…
…
PYRALIS! WHERE ARE YOU!? YOU CAN'T BE FAR CAN YOU? Xeala panicked, and took off in the direction of anything. Within hours, Xeala came upon Pyralis, laying at the foot of a tree, no longer in dragon form, back to dove form.

Without his bell on.

PYRALIS!!!??!! WHAT!? WHO? WHAT'S WRONG!!?!?
…

Pyralis!? Xeala knelt down and scooped the dove up.

Xeala…It's over…

No! No it's not! It's not! You're okay! You're okay!
A tear streamed down Xeala's cheek.

Xeala…we both know it… I'm too old… Xeala…
NO! NO IT'S NOT TRUE! You're as young as a foal! You're still young!
Xeala… goodbye…

"NO! NO NO IT'S NOT TRUE! YOU'RE OKAY YOU'RE OKAY PLEASE PLEEAASE!" Xeala screamed, clutching the dove, then looked down and put him on the ground, faking a smile, "See… you're okay! You're okay!" Xeala moved his wings and tears poured out of her eyes. "Pyralis! Please! Pyralis why! Why!?!" Xeala screamed into her hands, loud enough for anyone within 25 miles to hear. Xeala looked down at the bird, a puddle of tears forming in her hands, and picked him up, hugging him tightly. She looked up, into Itachi's emotionless eyes, and screamed, losing her balance and falling onto her bum. Itachi stared down at her, and she screamed back at him. "THIS IS YOUR FAULT ISN'T IT! YOU KILLED HIM! YOU DID IT! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO KILLED HIM!" Xeala shoved her face into the bird's feathers, and Itachi sighed, then bent over and reached for the bird. "DON'T YOU TOUCH HIM YOU SADIST! SADIST! MURDERER!"
"Xeala…" Itachi put his hands on the bird, "things die."

"NOT PYRALIS! HE COULDN'T DIE! IT'S NOT POSSIBLE! YOU KILLED HIM!!!"

"…"

"YOU DID I KNOW YOU DID! IT WAS YOU!"

"Xeala… give me the bird…"

"NO DON'T! DON'T TOUCH HIM! YOU DON'T EVEN TREAT HIM LIKE A LIVING CREATURE!"

"…Xeala… please calm down…" Itachi looked at the bird, whose eyes were still open and staring into space. He got up and brushed the hair out of his face, then did a simple seal and a hole appeared in the ground next to a tree.

"WHAT!? NO NO HE CAN'T BE BURIED! NO! NO IT'S NOT RIGHT IT ISN'T!"

Itachi turned around.
"You want the alternative?"

"NO! NO! NO! Definitely not! Absolutely not!"

"Then give me the bird."

"NO! YOU'LL…YOU'LL HURT HIM!" Xeala brought the bird back up to her face and cried onto his feathers.

"Xeala… he's dead… give me the bird."

"…n-no! No! Never! You won't touch him!"

"…fine… then you bury him. You're screaming is going to have the ANBU on us in no time."
Xeala's lip quivered, and she got up slowly, knees shaking. She slinked towards the small hole, then crumbled to her knees as more tears flowed from her eyes. She put the bird into the hole, then pet his feathers one last time. Itachi sighed, then pulled her away from the bird. She burst into tears again, but made no attempt to go towards the bird. Itachi made another simple seal, and dirt covered the bird. He picked up a rock and pulled out a kunai, then wrote Pyralis' name into it, placing it in the dirt.

"Are we good now?"

"…he's… dead…" Xeala's voice was lifeless, and she got up, then started walking slowly away from the grave. Itachi followed. Okay… that's… a little… too emotionless for a human…

"On to the mission," she said dully, and pointed forward, still walking. Itachi walked up to her side and glanced at her eyes, red from so much crying. She stared into space like a lifeless doll.

"…Xeala…are you okay…"

"I'm perfectly capable of finishing this mission, Uchiha Itachi."

"…okay." Itachi continued walking. As long as she's not complaining and crying… I guess… it's okay, just slightly creepy. Itachi looked back at Xeala's face, then looked away quickly. …I take it back…very very creepy.
 "Itachi, where are we going to find the Jinchuuriki." It was more of a statement than a question with her tone.
"…In a hotel…"

"Do you know the location of the Jinchuuriki, Itachi?"

"Not exactly."

"Are we going in the correct direction of the Jinchuuriki, Itachi?"

"Yes…"

After enough walking… Itachi eventually told Xeala to stay put for three minutes. Xeala stared at a clock at this time.

"Okay…Xeala... it's time…"

Xeala followed Itachi with a dead look on her face. Itachi asked the person at the desk which room a blonde haired boy and old man were staying in, and they pointed. Itachi thanked them and motioned for Xeala to follow. She walked rigidly behind him. Itachi looked around, then knocked on a door. It opened. Xeala stood behind Itachi.

"It's hard to believe he's the Jinchuuriki." Xeala stated.

"How do you know about Nine-tails? And who are you guys!?"

"Naruto, why don't you come with us." Itachi said. "Why don't you step out of the room…?"

"Itachi…mere words can not restrain a human." Xeala said, standing behind him and facing the wall.

Itachi looked towards the hall they just came from.

"Long time no see… Sasuke."

"Uchiha Itachi… I will… …kill you! Just as you told me to…I've resented and hated you… and lived solely… TO KILL YOU!!"

"Chidori: 1000 birds?" Itachi asked, as Sasuke came pounding towards him with his arm all lightningy. When Sasuke was within three feet of Itachi, Xeala moved from behind him and grabbed Sasuke's wrist.

"Uchiha-san. Please do not interfere with the affairs of Akatsuki."

…OO??? Sasuke's face
"Xeala… move away." Xeala glanced back to Itachi, then dropped Sasuke's arm. She looked at Naruto, who was forming a hand seal.

"Naruto… don't make this any harder." Xeala said, and landed a spinning hook kick in his face, and his head slammed into the wall.

Xeala looked back to Itachi, who was now at the end of the hall and beating Sasuke senseless. Xeala looked back to Naruto, and some white haired fat guy was standing next to him.

"Itachi-kun." Xeala said, and Itachi looked over his shoulder.

"…wait…aren't you…" Jiraiya looked quickly into the hotel room, where Naruto had a picture of the former team. He located Xeala, then looked back at Xeala.

"Uchiha Itachi… it would be someone as sick as you who would drag a Genin into this situation." Jiraiya disregarded Xeala, talking directly to Itachi. Xeala narrowed her eyes, then disappeared and reappeared next to Itachi. …Genin can't move that fast… what's wrong here…
"Itachi… should I take care of this nuisance."

"No, Xeala, don't," Itachi replied, holding Sasuke against the wall.

"Itachi… this is a situation," Xeala said, putting her hand up, and staring at Itachi. Suddenly, the hotel around them disappeared, and turned into some sort of… organ. Itachi let go of Sasuke and grabbed Xeala's wrist, then took off sprinting down the hallway. Xeala, now flailing in the air, continued to talk. "Itachi…the walls are collapsing…"

"Shut up, I noticed that already," Itachi said, and his eyes whirred. The wall in front of him burst into black flames and he jumped out. Xeala still… flailing and flying… in the air…
"Itachi I can't feel the ground."

"That's… because… you're basically flying…" Itachi said, still sprinting through this village thing.

Why did I do it? WHY? I don't know… I really don't know…

POOR PYRALIS!! AHHH I HATE MYSELF AHHH BUT OH WELL!!
