Okay, so those who did see my note at the end of last chapter, of which I deleted, don't worry, I thought about it and decided against it. I will be remaining as "Ayukazi With Kitty" for a long, long while. Although, the rest of the Akatsugirls and I are officially in this together. Though, fair warning, if you tell us how to write or tell us anything you wouldn't want to receive as an author, pray that it is me that sees it first. I will admit I do have a bad temper, but I am more controllable than most of the girls.
Nyisha: Ayukazi, why was I sneezing a moment ago?
Ayukazi: Anyways, now that the message is over, Nyisha, would you do the honors?
Nyisha: Ayukazi With Kitty and The Akatsugirls do not own Naruto, Naruto Shippuden or any other references used in this story. Please support the official release.
Ana's P.O.V.
I know I was supposed to fly right home after I explained everything to Shikamaru and activated the Demigoddesses of Fire and Spirit, but I just had to pass a message along to Hinata and Sakura. This message couldn't wait. I was going to give them permission to open their letters early. And maybe leave some Christmas presents for some people. It was December and I had approximately 24 days until Christmas. I had Naruto, Jiraiya, Hinata, Sakura, Kakashi, Neji and Tenten's presents in my pocket. I knew that I wouldn't be able to see it, but I wish I would be able to see Neji's reaction to his present. I knew that most would be happy with them.
With the disguise of Naoie Takatora on again, I building jumped through the village. I found the Hyuga Mansion. I am not lying. The place had its own training ground, it was a mansion. Hinata wasn't home. I couldn't pick up her chakra signature anywhere. Neji was in his room, though. Nah, I'd give him the present later. I hopped around to Sakura's house. She was just barely entering her room with Hinata. Hey, kill two birds with one stone. I waited a few moments for them to get settled in. I hoped they had their notes with them. I dropped in to Sakura's balcony and tapped on the frame. They looked up and jumped up as if I was their enemy. I waved and grinned at them. Slowly and cautiously, Sakura opened the window-door to let me in.
"Hey, guys! Long time no see!" I said. They stared at me. "Do we know you?" Sakura asked. "Oopse, I forgot I was still wearing this ridiculous thing!" I said. I released my disguise and pulled the glasses from my face. "Ta-da!" I said with a grin. "ANA!" The two said and pulled me inside with a hug. "Hey, kiddos!" I said. Sakura seated me on her bed. "How are you? How's your pregnancy? Have you found Kira or Miranda? How are you recovering from your boyfriend's death? Should I not talk about that?" Sakura asked, bombarding me with her questions. "Uh, I'm okay, everything is fine, I found both of them, and I'll explain that in a moment. You have the notes I gave you, right?" I asked. "Yeah, right here." Sakura said, producing one note and Hinata produced the second. "Even though I told you not to open them until January, I'm giving you permission to look at them now." I said. The two tore through the envelopes like two five year olds on Christmas morning trying to find the dolly they asked Santa for.
I watched as their faces changed to shock as I revealed the secret I had desperately hid from them for so long. "You… You're with the Akatsuki?!" Sakura said. "Not fully associated." I lied. I still needed them to trust me. "I have spies in the Akatsuki. For the girls, well, the letter explains them. As for the males on my side, they wear this." I said and pulled the old necklace of two bronze dragons wrapped around a sword from my neck. "There are two others that can be trusted that do not have their necklaces yet, but they will soon. The new color is sky blue. I promise you that I am on your side. We all are. You just have to trust me and my spies." I said. "How do we know when you tell us the truth or not?" Hinata asked quietly. "You just have to look in to my eyes." I said. They looked me in the eye carefully. I knew that all they saw was desperation and assurance. I was desperate for them to trust me. I was assured that my acting skills were better than Kristen Stewart's, but then again, everyone's was.
"Alright, Ana, we trust you and anyone with your necklaces." Sakura said. I pulled my black necklace up and showed Hinata what it looked like. "Thank you, both of you." I said. I hugged my two friends and returned to my disguise. I leapt off the balcony and dashed out of the village. As soon as I was a safe distance away, I dropped the disguise and flew off sure you're wondering about the Christmas presents, well, I put them where I knew each person would find them. I flew over the four on their way to battle. Asuma's funeral would be tomorrow, and in a few days after that, It would be time for another battle. I just hoped my theory proved correct and Shikamaru's attachment to Kira will save her again. I know, it didn't seem like it, but over the three of us, Shikamaru had really gotten close to Kira. Funny, I'd thought it would have been Miranda he'd get attached to, considering she'd all ways be the one to stay back and relax. Then again, Kira was the biggest lazy ass in the group aside from Brianna.
I sighed as I finally settled in at home. My wings folded in to my back and I settled down in my lab to study the surgery a little more. There was a tap at the door. "Enter." I said. Brianna pushed the door open. "Hey, are you okay? You've been in here all day." She said. My eyes brought to me an image of Brianna and Shay, standing side by side, wings unfurled. Brianna's midnight black and Shay's sun yellow. That's how I could tell when the next goddess was about to awaken. When Nyisha and Kira's essence were awakened, I saw them with their red and lavender wings behind them. So, Brianna and Shay were next. Hm, I wonder when?
"Yeah, I'm okay, Bri. Just a little anxious for Kira to get home." I said. "You're terrified of this surgery, aren't you?" Asked Brianna. I nodded, not moving my eyes from the book. "Why are you so scared? You've practiced before and every thing has gone right." She said. I shook my head. "Some, I injected the cure at the wrong angle. The seemed like they were fine. They went about normally then suddenly, the just collapsed. Imagine that, Brianna. Just a wrong angle and I could kill him. Some thing so little could be the cause." I said. "It is terrifying. We'll be with you, Ana, all of us. Every step of the way." She said. I smiled and thanked her. She left and went about studying until I fell asleep.
Yeah, this one is a little shorter than usual, but that's because this is a filler. Next chapter, I'm going to do a time skip to get all that shit taken care of then it will be time for the thing I know your all anxiously waiting for. Well, ttfn, ta-ta for now!
