A/N: So, it's been a while huh? I've been super busy with university work and my other stories that I neglected this one. I'm so sorry. :( But any way here is the next chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own.

A little reminder for the first bit of the chapter.

Childhood Ana - six years old, manifestation of Ana's childhood

Hogwarts Ana - eleven years old, manifestation of Ana's Hogwarts days

War Ana - 17 years old, manifestation of the Battle for Hogwarts

Normal Ana - 17 years old, with green eyes

Dark Ana - 17 years old, red eyes, went by Tom Riddle before now.

Hogwarts Ana was sat in the green meadow, staring at the unconscious form of Normal Ana with worried eyes, beside her Childhood Ana was sleeping. War Ana was pacing back and forth angrily, muttering and whispering counter curses and spells. The meadow had grown smaller since Inoichi had visited and grew smaller and smaller each day. The Barrier still stood strong, but surrounding it where black tendrils of the Infinitus Tenebrae. They hovered, pressing against the barrier occasionally but they didn't try and break through. They didn't need to, Dark Ana had gotten what she wanted. It was only by the power of Childhood Ana that they were kept safe, but she was a child and her power was not limitless.

"I can't believe we were tricked," Hogwarts Ana said sadly, "all this time we thought it was Tom Riddle, but it was Dark Ana."

"She used the face of Riddle to scare us, to keep us from guessing the truth," War Ana spoke, her eyes narrowing on Childhood Ana, "she won't last much longer, she sleeps most of the time now."

"What will happen to her?" Hogwarts Ana asked, afraid for her little sister.

"She will fade away, we will no longer remember our childhood," War Ana walked over to where Normal Ana lay, "if that happens then the Infinitus Tenebrae will surround this place and we will be lost to the darkness as well."

"I don't want that to happen," Hogwarts Ana shouted, panicked and scared.

"The only one who can stop it is Normal Ana," War Ana sat down beside the unconscious Ana, "only she has the power to take control and restore the balance to her mind."

"But she's…"

"Completely broken."

"She won't wake up then?"

"No," War Ana paused, a thoughtful look gleaming in her eyes, "unless we can help her. Okay Hogwarts, I have a mission for you. It will take up most of your energy though and I can't guarantee you won't fade away."

"I might fade?" Hogwarts Ana bit her lip, not liking the idea of disappearing forever. Beside her Childhood Ana shivered and moaned in pain, Hogwarts Ana watched her for a moment before looking at War Ana with determination. "If Childhood Ana can risk her existence to protect us, then I can do so too."

"Brilliant," War Ana said giving one of her rare smiles, "the happiest times Ana had were at Hogwarts, so I need you to remember those memories and feed them to Normal Ana. Hopefully it will give her enough hope to piece herself back together."

"What are you going to do?"

"Research, I'm going to see if I can find a way to destroy Dark Ana for good."

OoO

Itachi stared at the woman in front of him with extreme apprehension, she was small and very attractive. But it was those red eyes that set him on edge, Kisame had given all the Akatsuki a description of her, and her powers. She was supposed to have green eyes. She was supposed to be one of the good guys. Staring into her glaring red eyes he felt nothing but darkness, as if he was staring into an abyss, and the abyss was staring back. He shivered and looked away, he was supposed to be fearless and merciless but he didn't hold a candle to her. For the first time in a long time Uchiha Itachi felt fear.

"My eyes are red because I'm sweet little Ana's dark side."

Itachi froze, his Sharingan red eyes widening as she answered the question he asked inside his mind. Did she just…?

"Read your mind? Yes I did," she laughed with a sadistic glee that made his insides churn, "but never mind that. Did you know your little brother has a thing for you? I mean just mention your name and he's all Itachi is mine! That boy is just so possessive even I was worried for you and trust me that doesn't happen often. But I think you'll be glad to know he isn't totally gay, at least I assume not after the kiss he gave little green eyes, maybe he's just into you like that. A brother complex?"

"Kiss?" Itachi asked dumbly, completely blown away by the enigma she was, he could sense the evil within her and yet, she was talking about his little brother's sexuality.

"Oh yeah, he can kiss real good, but green eyes is far too innocent to take advantage of his attraction to us." Ana watched, amused by the reactions she was getting from him. Of course she had a whole other reason to visit him, but like with Sasuke, she was unable to resist messing with him. "But I wouldn't get jealous or anything, your still the apple of his eye."

"Sasuke is attracted to you?" Itachi asked in disbelief, still unable to get over the fact that his little brother could feel anything other than rage towards him. Not that he could blame Sasuke either way, Itachi had already acknowledged the woman before him was beautiful.

"Yeah, I was shocked too," Ana shrugged before getting serious, "shall we get to the real reason I am here?" She didn't wait for him to answer, "I want to know all about the Uchiha Massacre."

"What is there to tell? I murdered my clan to test my strength."

"Do you take me for a fool?" she asked, her eyes blazing in anger as she stepped forwards, "I may be many things Uchiha but I am not a fool. Now tell the truth before I force it from you."

"I killed them to test my strength," Itachi said, unable to tell her the truth even if he wanted, not when there were spies everywhere. He swallowed thickly when her magic brushed against him, it was dark and so very tainted, it made him feel sick.

"Very well, I will just take the information I want from you. This might hurt a little," she paused and gave him a bone chilling sadistic smile, "nah who am I kidding, it's gonna hurt like hell."

Not giving him a chance to move she tore through his mind, his Sharingan put up a little defence but compared to her own dark magic and legilimency skills it was nothing. She had to give him credit though, he didn't scream, his breathing thinned and sweat poured from his brow, but he showed no other sign of his pain. She grinned when she found the memories she was after and watched them carefully. He showed her the coup d'état, Danzo's part in it, the night of the massacre, his conversation with the third. He showed her his loyalty to Konoha and when she pulled out of his mind she felt an unwavering amount of respect for him.

She may be the dark side of Ana but she was still Ana, she valued loyalty, and this man panting in front of her was epitome of that. She walked close to him and placed a hand on his shoulder, healing him instantly, before whispering. "I will keep your secret," she smirked and looked up at the sky, "I'm interested to see how this will all play out in the end." She nodded to him and disappeared with a barely audible crack. Itachi was left wondering the very same thing she was interested in.

OoO

Naruto stared blankly at the wall in front of him, his eyes unfocused and distant, Tsunade flittered about him and Kakashi and Jiraiya stood by the window. They were all looking at him with concern but he didn't notice. He felt disgusted with himself and full of shame, the journey back to Konoha had been a long one, he was silent and depressed. The scene with Ana was playing in his mind as if it were a movie on repeat, each time he flinched at his words and as he saw the girl he had come to love as a sister crumble and break.

Jiraiya watched with a heavy sadness in his heart as Naruto finally broke down, he curled up into himself, tears pouring in a steady stream from his blue eyes. His whispered mantra of 'I'm so sorry' reaching all their ears. It was heart breaking but there was little they could do. They had no idea where Ana was or how to reach her, they couldn't track her down as easily as someone with chakra.

The only person who could possibly comfort him was the one he sent away. His hand clenched his t-shirt tightly, he wanted her back, he wanted her to smile at him and hug him. To tell him it was going to be okay. But it wasn't going to be okay, he had let what Sakura said get to him and in a moment of anger he had thrown it all away. He came to the sudden realisation then that it was all Sakura's fault. It was her jealousy that made him doubt Ana's loyalty, made him cast her away. For the first time in his life Naruto felt the bitter sting of hatred rise up within him.

He cast Ana away just because she had kissed Sasuke, and now he had lost both of them. Naruto didn't care about the kiss, if anything he was happy she got Sasuke to feel anything other than hatred. But Sakura's jealous words had made him forget that and now Ana was running around possessed by evil.

"It's okay Naruto," the blond haired teen flinched, he hadn't realised Sakura had come into the room, "she's gone now. That evil witch can no longer hurt you." It wasn't the words that made him reach out and slap her hard, it was the pure smugness in her tone, as if she had finally won something and gotten what she wanted. His eyes blazed as he stared at the pinkette, his first crush and first love, looking at her now though he felt only disgust.

"I want her off team seven," he stated, his voice flat and monotonous, "I no longer desire to work with Sakura. She is selfish and a poor excuse for a kunoichi. Put me with someone who will actually care about more about this village than a silly school girl crush."

The room was silent, filled only with four pairs of shocked eyes, it took a moment to register what Naruto had said but finally Tsunade nodded. If the gaki wanted a new team she would provide one, she could only look at her pink haired student with disappointment and regret.

OoO

It was a week later that found Ana sat atop a statue watching the battle below with a mild interest, Sasuke was squaring off against Orochimaru, she had arrived at their base a few minutes ago. They had yet to notice her but that was her plan, she was covered in concealment charms so they wouldn't see her until she wished it. She tucked her legs under her just as Sasuke swept forward with his chidori. Orochimaru dodged the attack but Sasuke was prepared for that and managed to cut him with his sword. By the time they had finished, both of them were sweating and panting. Ana smiled and slowly clapped her hands together.

The two shinobi turned in her direction quickly, startled by her sudden appearance and both of them felt and overwhelming surge of respect towards the red eyed witch. It was not easy to sneak up on two battling shinobi, but she had managed it. She grinned and moved her arms behind her, placing her hands flat upon the statue as she rested against them.

"You're good," she told Sasuke, "but you're not as good as you think you are. You're rather arrogant, and that shows in the way you attack, you should never underestimate your opponent."

"What are you doing here?" Sasuke asked angrily.

"Well that's rude," Ana said feigning a hurt expression, "your brother was much more accommodating. He told me a number of things regarding you, your family and just about everything in between. But your rudeness has hurt my feelings so I don't feel like sharing anymore." Not that she planned on sharing what she knew anyway, she had given her word to Itachi and she would keep it.

"How did you know we were here Ana?" Orochimaru asked, his snake like voice making her shudder on the inside. This guy took creepy to whole new level.

"Magic," she whispered secretively, laughing at the irony.

"Do you plan on staying with us?" he asked her, his yellow eyes gleaming at the prospects of having her under his control.

"Not like I have anywhere else to go," Ana said with a shrug, standing and stretching. She jumped from the statue and approached Orochimaru in a predatory manner, her lips curving into what could only be considered a pure evil smile. She knew just what he was thinking and she wanted to set the record straight. "However, I won't be a piece in your chess game. If you try and control me, I'll kill you in the most painful ways possible." She allowed her dark aura to wash over him, letting him know she was serious and had the power to back up her statement.

"You continue to amuse me Ana," he said with a hissing laugh, she was an enigma that he would simply love to get a hold of. But he knew now it would take a lot more effort than it usually would to get this little witch under his thumb. "You can have the room next to Sasuke, he will show you there."

"Oh great I get to spend time with the poster boy for emotional constipation," she said dryly as Orochimaru left, his laughter lingering behind.

"Why did you come back here?" Sasuke asked her once he was sure they were alone.

"Like I said, I have nowhere else to go," she turned to face him, "I've been banned from being with Naruto. Though I do believe I have you to thank for that."

"It was Sakura who-"

"Yeah, yeah I know, but you're the one who kissed green eyes and decided to share it with the world. If you could keep your hormonal tendencies, though I'm surprised you have them, to yourself this wouldn't have happened." She smiled and walked slowly over to him, her aura washing over him. "But I suppose I can't blame you entirely, after all, thanks to you I was able to overpower green eyes," her red eyes watched in amusement as his own eyes darkened with lust, in response to exposure to her aura.

"Why don't you show me how thankful you are?" he asked her and as soon as she was close enough his hands found their way to her hips, pulling her even closer to him. The addicting and arousing power of her aura pressed even closer against his own, clouding his mind in a lustful haze.

"Oh and how would you like me to do that?" She questioned, her hands pressing against his chest, her fingertips rubbing against him slightly. His self-assured smirk told her exactly what he was thinking and as he gripped her hips tighter and pulled her against him tighter, she knew she was right on the mark. He was already hard, the bulge pressing against her was big and she found herself blushing despite herself. She may be more open to sexual flirtation but she was still very inexperienced. Her right hand moved down his chest, pausing with slight hesitation before pressing against the bulge in his pants. She rubbed it against him, watching as his eyes darkened with desire and want and a small groan was forced from him.

"Sasuke," she whispered, a hum of approval coming from him at hearing his name fall from her lips, Ana smiled and leaned up to him. Her lips brushed against his, her tongue peeking out to lick along his bottom lip, her hand which hand been moving slowly against him, rubbed a little harder. His hands moved from her hips, up her back as he growled impatiently. She knew what he was going to do, that he wanted to kiss her properly. But before he got the chance she grinned and said "I'm not that thankful."

She laughed and moved away from him, before striding past him, using a point me spell to locate her room. Her cheeks were a rosy red but there was a satisfaction and amusement in her red eyes that spoke of her triumph. She had a feeling she was going to enjoy her time here.

Sasuke stared at the empty space before him with a mild shock and wondered if he had imagined it. His member throbbed and he still felt the wetness on his lip where her tongue had been, reminding him that he hadn't imagined it at all. She was playing with him, he realised slowly, his lips curving up into a grin. He had no shortage of women at his call, though their clinginess disgusted him they served their purpose, and he was very experienced yet, she had gotten under his skin and made him want her. He knew she had no experience, the embarrassed redness to her cheeks and slight hesitance before touching him told him that. Yet she still managed to successfully seduce him. His eyes narrowed in thought, up until now finding a bed partner had been easy, but Ana was proving herself to be a little mix. An innocent little tease that wanted to challenge him. He smirked and nodded his head, he would play the game and accept her challenge and he would win. Ignoring the throbbing of his erection, he strode forward as cocky as ever, he would have a cold shower and then sleep. Though he would usually find a girl to satisfy his desires, he knew that no girl would please him until he had Ana. He was looking forward to the challenge and the benefits it would provide and knew he was going to enjoy Ana's stay with them.

A/N: So, Dark Ana is curious how things will turn out with the information she got from Itachi shining a light on things. Normal Ana is comatose inside her mind and the others are working hard trying to get her to wake up before they fade. Naruto is feeling guilty and beginning to make amends. Dark Ana just totally owned Sasuke and left him all hot and bothered.

I must admit, I'm kinda liking Dark Ana.

Well, what did you think?
