• Chapter 1
    The sunlight was bright that day, the air clean and moist, in the village of the leaves. . .
    A young man jumps out of a window, he had white hair tied in a ponytail on the back of his head, he wore a blue outfit with a white sash, he wore a mask in the shape of a cat, it had red strips on it. . .
    When he was falling he revealed his slender face, he wore glasses and had near black eyes, under him walked someone in a straw hat, it wore a hot pink outfit, long. And it had red clouds on it, highlighted it’s rims in white. It was open at least up to her neck bone, and net captured it and dragged it up to a pink choker around her neck. A bit of blond hair waved in the clear breeze. The wind split above her as she looked up, meeting her gaze was the young man with silver hair. . .
    “What the HELL!” She screamed out from the top of her lungs.
    As a loud *THUMP* echoed through the clear afternoon air. The birds flew quickly away leaving no trail behind them. The girl in the hot pink outfit was standing on top of the young man holding a small sword of lightning to his throat. . .
    “If you try to fall on me again. . . You are DEAD!” She yelled at him.
    He made a motion with his hands telling her to get off as he exclaimed to her an, “Okay, oaky I get it...” His face was drawn together in a fake smile.
    She then stepped off of him and the lightning drew away from the sword handle, as she swung it around to her waist and tucket it in a netted pocket. (Against her skin and some net. . .) She then began to walk away slowly making a gesture to the path ahead telling it, *Step away for I THE GREAT ONE am coming*
    The guy with white hair tied back (Kabuto) stood up and dusted his pants off, then jumped quickly away. He came to a deserted balcony that rested slightly above the ground. As he met a pale older ninja. . . The older ninja had long black hair and yellow gazing eyes, he opened his mouth whispering something to Kabuto.
    Kabuto opened his mouth to talk back when a loud *CRASH* was heard. A 17 year old girl dropped down in between them, she landed on her back feet, and held one hand on the ground as the other one rested on her leg. She wore a black outfit, with red clouds, highlighted in white, it was split at the waist, and she wore dark blue pants. Her sandals made a *clip* on the cement when she toke one step to stand up. She then looked around as her dark blue eyes narrowed then widened.
    “Ops wrong spot!” She spoke slowly but had a hint of excitement in her voice, “Sorry. . .” she then spread out her beautiful feathered wings and flapped them rapidly, lifting off the ground. With that she took off, as she flew over the forest, she heard a twig snap and then leaves rustle. A shadowed person came up with a burst of speed, fist first.
    Meanwhile Orochimaru smiled slightly, “That was interesting I could use her.” He said slyly.
    “If you insist.” Kabuto muttered to himself, “That is the second time I got interrupted by strange humans, no, demons, in that same outfit... except one had pink and this one has black...”
    Orochimaru’s eyes widened, “She is in the Akatsuki.” He said clearly showing some interest in this.
    Kabuto smiled knowing this will be fun...
    Yuuki noticed the shadowed figure, As the shadowed person said in a burst of excitement, “Found yah!”
    Yuuki then hovered slightly and grabbed the other.
    “Zoey. . .don’t do that again. . .” Yuuki exclaimed to the 13 year old slowly.
    “Sorry Yuuki.” Zoey said as her eyes widened and tears filled them, faking the tears in a chibi kinda way.
    Yuuki sighed then continued flying, as Zoey looked curiously around at the surroundings.
    “So have you found them. . .”Yuuki whispered to Zoey in a mature way.
    “No. . .Have you?” Zoey replied.
    “No. . .Where to then?” Yuuki said as she looked around at the village called Kohona.
    “Somewhere dark and shady looking...somewhere like. . .THE NOODLE BAR!” Zoey burst out loud.
    Yuuki sighed and looked back at Kohona then narrowed her eyes.
    “Okay then” Yuuki said, “Are you sure?”
    “POSITIVE!” Zoey replied quickly..
    Yuuki then dived down in a burst of speed, into the village of Kohona.

    Chapter 2
    Yuuki flew close to the ground, through all the people. Zoey sat there not scared of the ground being so close for this was not the first time... Yuuki then raised into the air again in front of the noodle bar, Zoey jumped out of Yuuki’s grip in the smell of food!
    “YAY NOOD-” Zoey stoped her sentence short, “Itachi, Kisame you are here?” Zoey whispered to them knowing the Akatsuki are wanted criminals.
    Kisama looked up from under his straw hat and smiles slightly. Itachi’s eyes turned slightly and looked at Yuuki then to Zoey then back to his table.
    “Well yah, we knew you two would come here.” Kisame said quickly.
    “Really. . .Why?” Yuuki questioned Kisame.
    “Well since Zoey is with yah, we knew she would come here.” He said slowly.
    “Oh. . . ” Yuuki replied, “I see...”
    “WHAT!” Zoey burst out, “YOU REALLY KNEW I WOULD COME HERE! WOW YOU TWO ARE SMART!”
    Yuuki looked at zoey, then sighed. Itachi glanced at Zoey quickly, Zoey shifted her sight to Itachi.
    She then ran over to him and grabbed his arm instantly.
    “Itachi-San... I was so worried, I thought you two died.” She said as the fake tears swirled in her eyes and a chibi look appeared on her face.
    Itachi just looked back at the table as Kisame sighed and Yuuki walked into the Noodle Bar, for she was standing outside. Kisame looked at Yuuki as a signal to tell Zoey to get off Itachi.
    Yuuki then sighed and said quietly, “Zoey could you come over here for a second I need a favour...”
    Zoey then glanced at Yuuki and ran over to her side instantly!
    “YES YUUKI!” Zoey said excitedly.
    “I think they have a mission for us...” Yuuki said glancing at Itachi.
    Itachi looks at Yuuki then whispered “Thank you...” Yuuki and Kisame where the only ones that heard him because Zoey was to busy jumping up and down.
    Kisame looks at Yuuki quickly then Itachi, then walked over to Yuuki and whispered in her ear, “What mission!?”
    Itachi then says quietly, “We have to capture Sasuke...my little brother....” (He made it up!)
    Zoey then glances over to Itachi and runs over to him grabbing his arm once again. (If you could see them she has a little heart over her head every time she clings to a guys arm)
    “Okay Itachi-San, me and Yuuki can look for him, Yuuki will take the sky and I shall look under trees,” She said then spun around and looked at Yuuki, “Yuuki you fly over mountains too I shall climb there sides and look for him!”
    Yuuki looked around. Zoey then spun around again and started saying, “ME AND YUUKI THE GREAT SHALL DEFEAT THIS MISSION AND WIN THE BATTLE DEFENDING THE-” She continued. As Yuuki took off into the sky, Zoey then spun around to look at Yuuki but her gaze saw nothing?
    “Yuuki? Where did she go?” Zoey spun around and looked at Kisame, “So where Yuuki go?”
    Kisame pointed to the sky and then said, “I think she is up there...”
    Zoey’s jaw dropped. She then flipped her short, blond hair.
    “I knew that!” She said roughly.
    With that she jumped off, near the mountain. She ran across the short, cut grass and shot past some ninja’s training. She looked into the clear, crisp sky to see a figure, it had large wings on it’s back, with that Zoey knew it must be Yuuki.
    “I know I shall meet her at the top of the mountain!” She said loudly to herself.
    Zoey then jumped up the sides of the mountain.
    Yuuki landed on the top of the mountain with a light “CLICK” of her shoes, she then folded her wings so they where clear behind her back. A young boy around the age of 13 stood on the top of the mountain, he had long black hair jelled to the top of his head. His eyes where dark blue, and his outfit was black, (a shirt and shorts) He had white arm braces and a pocket on his baggy shorts. He looked at Yuuki slightly, Yuuki stepped forward, suddenly Zoey jumped up with a huge smile on her face! She landed on the top of the mountain quickly then suddenly ran up to Sasuke and grabbed his arm, a little heart rose over her head.
    “You must be Sasuke-chan!? I missed you hunny!” Zoey said slyly and winked towards Yuuki.
    Yuuki nodded then said slowly and clearly, “I came to save you from my sister...”
    Sasuke was in a little shock trying to push Zoey off when he looked at Yuuki then spoke to her, “Fine...”
    Zoey looked at him then thought *This is to easy... HEY YUUKI IS PROBABLY THINKING THE SAME THING!* Yuuki looked at Sasuke and thought *This is to easy...Zoey must think I am thinking the same thing...* Zoey smirked and pulled Sasuke’s arm slightly then said, “Come now dear!”
    Sasuke pushes Zoey off to the ground then walked over to Yuuki. Zoey stayed on the ground and waiting for him to get next to Yuuki then said, “Okay my LOVE I shall met you at the bottom of the mountain!” She then winked and jumped of the mountain. Yuuki looked at Sasuke then said, “Do you want to go down the mountain the way your so called lover went, or do you want me to take you down... my way?”
    Sasuke’s gaze pressured Yuuki as he then said, “I shall take your way...”In his head he thought *Whatever they have planned I will figure out....* Yuuki then spreads out her feathered wings and said, “Shall we go then?”
    Sasuke stepped back then forward and let Yuuki pick him up. Yuuki jumped of the mountain and went straight down, she was about to hit the ground when she spread her wings out, and glided above it. Sasuke was shocked.
    Meanwhile, Zoey ran straight to Itachi then said, “Yo Itachi we caught Sasuke and Yuuki is brining him here as we speak she is going slow to let us have time to set up a trap so lets start!”
    Itachi took out a rope, as Zoey stiffened and said, “ARE YOU GOING TO HANG HIM!?”
    Itachi sighed and tied it to a cage, then walked into the Ramen Bar and behind a pillar, Kisame made sure the cage wouldn’t break when it landed and then walked into the trap! Itachi let go of the rope for he felt the presence of someone in the trap, then he turned around to see what happened. Zoey was hunched up against a wall her eyes circles and her mouth wide open she seemed to be saying something he didn’t understand. He then looked over at the cage, Kisame was inside sitting there with his legs crossed. Itachi grew a slight smile, then stoped and walked over to Kisame and looked at him dead in the eye.
    “I was just testing...!” Kisame said.
    Zoey noticed Yuuki coming and yelled, “QUICK ITACHI HIDE YUUKI IS COMING WITH SASUKE!”
    Kisame then yelled, “WHAT ABOUT ME!”
    Zoey replied with a, “THAT’S YOUR PROBLEM I GOT TO GO TO THE BORDER OF THE FOREST NOW!”
    Zoey then ran to the forest boarder so Sasuke wouldn’t run away. Itachi walked behind the pillar again. Kisame hunched up in a corner of the cage. Yuuki then flew close to the half open cage, she then tossed Sasuke in, and realized that Kisame was in with Sasuke. Itachi lets go of the sting as the cage falls fully. Zoey runs up to the cage and smiles then lifts Kisame’s side slightly, and yanks him out, then puts a bottom on the cage. Sasuke opens his eyes, as Zoey throws Kisame and he hits the pillar. Yuuki lands and stands beside the cage.
    “What’s going on!” Sasuke demands.
    Itachi steps out from behind the pillar and then walks up to the cage saying, “I didn’t know you where this easy to catch...”
    “Itachi!” Sasuke yells.
    Zoey reaches her thin hand through the cage and puts duck tape on Sasuke’s mouth. Yuuki fake smiles, as Kisame peels himself of the pillar. Itachi then steps away from the cage and starts to walk slightly.
    “So where are we going with him?” Zoey asks.
    Itachi turns his head slightly, “I don’t know yet...”
    Kisame takes out his bandaged sword and places the cage on it, then walks with his sword in front of him. Yuuki puts her wings away and hovers over head of Itachi. As Zoey clings to Itachi’s arm...

    Chapter 3 (pplz please comment)
    They walked/ hovered to a small open field and Itachi stopped.
    “Zoey...Yuuki... You two go that way with Sasuke... Bring him to the village in the Wire....” Itachi then says.
    “BUT ITACHI ONLY GIRLS ARE ALLOWED IN!” Zoey bursts out.
    “I am sure you will think of something...” Itachi says as he steppes away, Kisame follows.
    “Yes Itachi...” Yuuki says slowly then looks at Zoey.
    Kisame slightly turns his head and gives Yuuki and Zoey a thumbs up, to tell them *Don’t worry we won’t be far* He then looks back at the path ahead of him and Itachi... and tosses Sasuke in the cage to Zoey and Yuuki’s feet. Sasuke was asleep from Kisame’s sleeping jutsu...
    Zoey looked at Yuuki, Yuuki’s gaze met the forest entry...
    “Zoey you think you can get them to let us in... with Sasuke...” Yuuki questioned Zoey.
    “Don’t worry leave it to me!” Zoey replied quickly.
    Yuuki nodded and then started to walk into the forest. Zoey picked up Sasuke’s cage and ran after Yuuki.
    “Do you know the way in or something Yuuki?” Zoey questioned Yuuki.
    “Um...No...I was just guessing... You should know the way in though right?” Yuuki said.
    “YUP!” Zoey replied and nodded then passed the cage with the sleeping boy to Yuuki, “You can carry him!”
    Yuuki sighed and watched Zoey run up ahead and then stop to look at Yuuki.
    “Yuuki go through this tree, quickly follow!” Zoey said in a somewhat loud voice.
    Yuuki darts to the tree and touches it with her foot incase she were to crash into it, her foot fazed right through it, she then flung herself in. Zoey followed closely behind. They appeared in a small opening of the forest, there was a gate and two female ninja’s on each side. Their black hair short cut, their black outfit was open until the beginning of their breasts. And it was a short cut mini skirt tight around the legs. Their brown eyes looked at Zoey then one stepped up.
    “Lady Zoey! We thought you would never return to us! But who is this you brought...?” One of them said quickly.
    “Yah well funny thing, Azara we kinda of need you and your twin sisters help... okay?” Zoey said to them
    “Fine by me!” Azara the taller one said.
    “Um... Okay!” The shorter one said, “And I have a name it is Azaru!”
    “Okay, okay, Azaru, Azara hears my plan...” Zoey whispered, “We need to get by you two and into the village this is my sister Yuuki, and are capture Sasuke... we need to bring him in... can you two turn him into a girl quickly with a spirit dance?”
    “Um.... yes I think so!” Azara said quickly.
    “Yah,” Azaru said too.
    Yuuki stepped up to them and placed Sasuke’s cage down in front of her, then stepped back...
    “This better not hurt him... we need him in top condition...” Yuuki said to the twins.
    “Nope this won’t hurt at all!” The two sisters said at the same time while raising a leg slightly, they then spun around each other then one flipped over the other, making sparkles appear, they ended in a stance where one was in the others arm and was pointing at Sasuke... The sparkles flew towards him, then hit him, his hair grew long and thin, his eyelashes grew longer and thicker, as his chest grew slightly.
    “Thank you!” Zoey said to them.
    “Yes thank you truthfully...” Yuuki said.
    “NO problem!” They said at the same time and dropped from there pose.
    Azara runs up to Zoey and Yuuki then puts a tag on them, then sunk her arm into Sasuke’s cage putting a pin on him too, “There he will turn back into a guy in an hour and those pins allow you in the village unlike you needed another Zoey...”
    Zoey smiles and winks, “Thank yah! Lets go Yuuki!” She says then looks for Yuuki, “Ugh in the village already....”
    Zoey then ran up into the village, she saw Yuuki and ran up to her side, Yuuki was carrying Sasuke’s cage with her thin sword. People seemed to notice Zoey and wave to her as they walked, some even offered food! They continued walking not stopping for a second. Yuuki noticed two black figure at the edge of a cliff. She then put the cage in Zoey’s arms and put her sword in it’s case. She then walked towards the shadows. Zoey runs past Yuuki jumping on the taller one. Yuuki jogs up to them to see Kisame and Itachi. Zoey was on top of Kisame hugging him like a little kitty afraid of the dark.
    Yuuki smiles warmly then whispers to them, “You guys are in the village of Wire, if you get caught they would attack you...”
    “We know that, Yuuki, but we needed to get you two...... and Sasuke.....” Itachi replied as Kisame interrupted, “Basically we needed to save you two from Orochimaru we heard he was after you two, and since Sasuke is with you two he would find you easily.”
    “Oh...” Yuuki said slowly.
    Zoey was already off of Kisame and clinging to Itachi’s arm, “Orochimaru! I’m scared, Itachi protect me!” Zoey said to him.
    Itachi’s eyes glanced at Zoey then Kisame said, “Zoey we know you are capable of fighting Orochimaru, even if you don’t win he wouldn’t be able to finish you.... for that thing would take over, same with you Yuuki.”
    Yuuki nodded to that and looked at Zoey. Zoey sprung up and clung to Yuuki. Yuuki sighed and then motioned her off, Zoey stepped away and ran back to Kisame, and jolted under his Akatsuki outfit, leaning against his chest.
    “I am still scared!” Zoey said loudly.
    “GET OUT OF THERE!” Kisame bursted out mainly from shock.
    “No.” Zoey teased as she stuck out her tongue, “I don’t listen to guys. And you’re a guy.”
    Kisame sighs then looks around focussing on a villager coming their way. He then looked at Itachi, Itachi sunk behind a dark corner, Kisame walked into a dark path way, then hunched up in a little ball on the side. Zoey was still inside of Kisame’s outfit she finally decided to go out and steer the person away. Yuuki looked at Zoey then leaned against the wall in front of Itachi so they couldn’t see him at all. Zoey darted at the person and stopped in front of the person’s feet.
    “HI!” Zoey said loudly.
    “Lady Zoey!? Hello.” The young girl replied.
    “I have a favour to ask....” Zoey said.
    “Oh Okay?” The girl replied as she ruffled her orange hair that blended with her hazel eyes.
    “Can you go and buy yourself a puppy, like you always wanted.... your mom will understand if you say Lady Zoey said it is for good luck, name it Lucky! I am doing you a favour here so you half to finish it.” Zoey said as she put her finger to her lip and winked.
    “Thank YOU! I will!” The little girl said in a burst then darted off.
    Zoey sighed and whispered to herself, “Thank god that’s over... I thought it might have took more of an effort for the excuse...”
    Yuuki looked at Itachi and nodded gesturing *It’s clear...* She then stepped away, as Itachi walked out. The wind seized their hair with cruel fingers tossing it aside. Zoey looked at Itachi as he ran his slim, fingers through his thin straight hair. Zoey looked by her feet to see the cage with the now sleeping girl. She picked up the cage and ran over to Kisame.
    “Kisame-San... I am going to go out for a short walk... I feel a drift in the air... something strong is here and I shall be the first to challenge it in the name of my village!” Zoey demanded.
    Kisame sighed then looked over to the Wire villages entrance where 6 shadowy figures stood.
    “I shall be right behind you... same with Yuuki and Itachi... Go get em’ girl!” Kisame said.
    Zoey placed the cage on the ground then hugged Kisame, “Thank you.” She muttered in his cloak. She then picked Sasuke’s cage up and handed it to Kisame. Yuuki walked over to Zoey.
    “What’s going on...?” Yuuki asked as her long straight orange hair flipped out of her deep blue eyes.
    “I am going to defend my village!” Zoey said loudly.
    “...” Yuuki narrowed her eyes at Zoey’s light blue eyes, “I shall be behind you... incase...”
    Zoey nodded thank fully then jumped on Yuuki, “I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE FIGHT!” Zoey yelled out just loud enough for Yuuki and the surroundings villagers/ Akatsuki to hear.
    Itachi walked up to Zoey and Yuuki, he then looked at Kisame, “The 6 people are defence for a kid....” He then said.
    Zoey and Yuuki looked at Itachi as Kisame looked at the shadowy people... Kisame then picked up Sasuke’s cage and walked over to the peoples.
    Yuuki looked at Zoey, “If you get hurt I am going to take them down...”
    “Okay, Okay but right now I got to go and beet them up so LETS GO!” Zoey yelled out.
    “Okay...” Yuuki said.
    “Yah...Lets go...” Kisame said thinking to himself, *I wonder how strong they are... can Zoey defeat them... Well she can almost defeat Orochimaru so, what am I worrying about!*
    When Kisame’s thoughts disappeared he noticed that everyone was already in front of the 6 shadows, and he was holding Sasuke’s cage...
    “GET READY TO FIGHT” Zoey yelled to the tall slim sand ninja’s *One was the sensei Baki, the other was Tamari and another Kankoro, there was also Gaara, and some other extra ninja’s... was this all they thought they would need to defeat my village...?* Zoey spread her legs slightly apart in a stance that she won’t fall over in. She then drew a kunia and pointed it at the sand ninja’s. Kisame looks at Itachi and Itachi motions to get rid of Sasuke, it was a fake mission anyways... Kisame looked around then licked one of his blue fingers and stuck it in the cold breeze, knowing what way the wind was blowing might allow him to throw the cage further. He then raised the cage and flung it out of his grasp.
    “Now then.... Go ahead Zoe,” Kisame said as he dusted his hands off.
    “WITH PLEASURE!” Zoey bursted out loud.
    Yuuki smirked slightly and nodded to Zoey, Zoey’s face lit up with excitement. Baki’s eyes narrowed as tamari reached her hand on the tip of her fan, kankoro pointed to Yuuki and Itachi and Kisame, And Zoey. As the two extra ninja’s charged at them, Itachi disappeared and appeared in front of Zoey and Yuuki and Kisame, he then grabbed a kunia, and as the two ninja’s went passed him they crumbled. He then narrowed his eyes at Kankoro.
    “They where puppets...” He said to Yuuki and Zoey and Kisame.
    He then stepped behind Yuuki and Zoey and Kisame again, and put his Kunia away. Kisame smiled at the older ninja.
    “Hey Zoe, how bout we all split up and fight I will take on the guy, Kankoro.” Kisame said.
    “Hey you know my name I must be famous,” Kankoro smirked at them.
    “Save it!” Zoey blurted out at Kankoro, “Yes sure that would be an awesome idea!”
    Yuuki looked at Itachi and Kisame, as she looked at the ground once again, “If it is necessary, it is fine with me...”
    “YAH and Itachi you are out voted!” Zoey said.
    “Hurry up!” Tamari said cruelly
    “WE GET IT OKAY ONE SEC!” Zoey yelled at Tamari then looked at Itachi and the rest, “Itachi fight Baki, Kisama fight Kankoro, Yuuki take on Tamari, I shall deal with Gaara..!”
    Yuuki looked at Tamari and narrowed her eyes, she then put one arm over another and smiled, “This should be easy...” She said.
    “Feh!” Tamari said.
    “Okay so I fight blue dude G-R-E-A-T!” Kankoro said.
    “Be quiet!” Kisame said.
    “...” Itachi had no words to say to such fools.
    “Okay...” Baki said.
    “You will all die at my feet...” Gaara said slightly annoyed.
    “OH YAH! SURE WE WILL, THAT WOULD BE THE DAY I EAT A DOG!” Zoey yelled.
    A crowed was brought to the scene. Zoey walked up to Gaara, then put her hand on his shoulder, “How about we walk over this way?” Zoey then said.
    Gaara swung his shoulder into her chest, and Zoey hit the ground with a loud *THUMP*
    “HEY!,” Kisama yelled, “No dirty play!” As Kisame swung his shearing sword over as Gaara’s sand barrier went up, “Damn.”
    Zoey stood up and walked up to Gaara face to face, “You do that again and I will rip your face OFF!”
    Gaara’s face wrinkled slightly as he raised his hand making sand come up from under Yuuki. Yuuki jumped at the nick of time dogging the flying sand, she then hovered over Zoey and picked her up, “Plan number 2...” She said.
    “OKAY!” Zoey replied as Yuuki grew her feathered wings out of her back and flew high into the sky. Baki made a wind blade and tried to hit Itachi, Itachi swung backwards and appeared behind Baki, “Is that the best you can do...?” Itachi questioned Baki as he swung a kunia at Baki’s back, striking him in the mid shoulder section. “Feh...”
    Baki fell down hitting the ground slightly he then stood up again, “Is that the best YOU can do?” Suddenly Yuuki came straight down out of the sky with Zoey in her arms ready to toss her, Zoeys nails where out and her fangs where long, Yuuki’s eyes narrowed as she swung Zoey tossing her quickly over to Baki. Zoey’s nails turned to steel as she let out a screech to make him look at her. *BANG* claws right in the face. Baki yelled in pain, as Zoey jumped off of him leaving her nails there and growing new ones.
    “So they are monsters too?!” Kankoro said.
    “BAKI! Are you okay?” Tamari screeched.
    Gaara’s eyes widen as a smile grew upon his pale face. His teeth where beared and he seemed to be enjoying this. Zoey put her hand in front of her head and crouched up to Kisame with a squeal. Yuuki then landed lightly, and turned to Itachi as if she sensed something close, something powerful. Itachi looked around, as Kisame glared at the sand ninjas. Zoey ran up to Kankoro and jumped on him.
    “WHAT TH-!” Kankoro said as he fell backwards hitting the ground.
    “...” Itachi was speechless.
    Baki finally finished pulling all but one claw out of his face, he snarled while pulling a deep claw out. He then looked over to the side where Yuuki was staring at.
    “What’s wrong?” Kisame asked Yuuki.
    “I don’t completely know...” Yuuki replied.
    “That’s always nice!” Zoey burst out from on top of Kankoro.
    “...” Itachi looked at the side where Yuuki and Baki where looking at, “Orochimaru...”
    “Orochimaru eh? That fool coming back, feh” Kisame said.
    “Okay then...” Zoey said.
    “Orochi-maru....?” Yuuki said.
    “Orochimaru!” Tamari gasped.
    “That man....” Baki snarled.
    “Feh!” Kankoro said.
    Gaara glances to where Itachi, Baki, and Yuuki where looking. Then looks at the Akatsuki members in front of him.
    “GAARA!” Baki yelled.
    Gaara turned his head quickly and glanced at Baki.
    “Let’s go!” Baki then demanded.
    Gaara frowned wrinkling his face slightly, as Tamari grabbed onto his shoulder, “Gaara we half to go, we don’t need any extra battles...” Gaara throws Tamari off and walks into the distance. Tamari sits up and frowns as she sees a hand reaching for her, “Let me... help you up...” Yuuki said to Tamari. “Oh...um....okay.” Tamari said as she grabbed onto Yuuki’s hand and Yuuki pulled her up, easily, “Tha-Thank you...” Tamari said as she walked over to Baki... Baki then fast walked up to Gaara. Kankoro waits for Tamari then walks with her.
    “Yuuki why did you help her up?” Zoey questioned Yuuki’s actions.
    “I just... want to not fight if it wasn’t necessary... and well.... it wasn’t....” Yuuki replied as she turned her head away from Zoey watching the shadows in the distance leave...
    “O-K-A-Y” Zoey said as she bobbed her head up and down.
    Kisame started to wrap his sword up again, as Itachi ran his fingers through his bangs (fixing his hair). Zoey started to paint her nails as Kisame nudged her in the back slightly.
    “Hm?” Zoey hummed.
    “Don’t paint your nails when we are leaving!”
    “FINE!” Zoey yelled as she put the nailpolish away, and then jumped onto Itachi, “Itachi-Kun carry me please.” She begged.
    Itachi looked around and put her on the ground slightly Zoey stood straight on the ground and frowned she then walked to Yuuki’s side, “FINE lets walk together Yuuki!”
    “Oh..Um..Okay...?” Yuuki said as she put her wings away gracefully showing no sense of weakness.
    “YAY!” Zoey screeched gleefully and stuck her tongue out at Itachi.
    Yuuki sighed and followed where Itachi once stepped, Kisame walked beside Itachi, Zoey tagged along beside Yuuki. Zoey glanced back to where the sand villagers used to be... and thought to herself (I wonder...why they wanted to fight...?) Yuuki walked a little faster and jumped over the crowed doing a somersault in mid air. Kisame jumped over straight and landed with one hand down touching the ground and the other up by his side. Itachi jumped over them gracefully and flipped upside down then back up landing on his feet straight. Zoey still thinking bumped into the crowed then got up rubbing her head slightly, she then ran around the crowed seeing the hazel eyes and orange hair of the little girl. She caught up to Yuuki and turned her head slightly as the little girl was now at the front of the crowed staring at Yuuki and Herself (Zoey).
    “What’s wrong...” Yuuki whispered.
    Zoey whispered back, “OH! Erm..... nothing....” She then mumbled to herself, “I think...”
    They walked for a while the villagers ignored the fact that there where men in their town for those men fought for them... a little.... They walked until the edge of the town and Zoey looked down, Yuuki comforted her with her hand and then walked ahead, out of the town. Zoey stood there for a little then walked on grasping her fear with one hand...

    Chapter 4 hehe xD
    A clearing, from the small village, was seen by Yuuki floating swiftly above Itachi’s head. The group headed towards the clearing, slowly but surly... The clearing led to a small field then to a deep lush forest. The team stood in front of the forest uneasy about going in.
    “SO SHOULD WE!?” Zoey asked getting a little impatient.
    “Zoey calm down, Itachi-San should we go? For it would be best, I mean we don’t have another route to take...” Yuuki admitted the facts.
    “Itachi it would be best to take the route, there could be nothing in there! Hahahaha HAHAHAHA! Okay I didn’t mean to scare you Zoe” Kisame said as he smirked then widened his eyes towards Zoey, witch was now clinging to Itachi’s side, with big chibi eyes.
    “Itachi-San Kisame is scaring me!” Zoey blurted out, “But lets take the forest route! (((^^)))”
    “HEY YOU AREN’T ACTUALLY SCARED YOUR JUST CLINGING TO ITACHI, FOR THE HECK OF IT!!!” Kisame shouted then turned around, and let out a puff of steam.
    “Kisame-Kun I’m sorry I didn’t mean to not cling to you!” Zoey said as she ran under Kisame’s Akatsuki outfit and poked her head out from the neck part.
    “HEY!!!” Kisame boomed, “What are you doing!?”
    “I am scared I don’t wana get eaten alive!” Zoey screeched.
    “Okay, okay! Fine then just get out of my jacket!” Kisame demanded.
    “Okay :3" Zoey replied as she then skipped over to Yuuki’s side.
    “Lets go in then....” Itachi finally gave the orders.
    “Okay...” Yuuki agreed.
    “Fine by me!” Kisame agreed as well.
    “KAY, KAY WHOOOOOOOTTTT!” Zoey agreed happily *Of coarse >3*
    The team walked towards the forest as Zoey ran up ahead straight into an oak tree. Yuuki followed Zoey in a daydream then avoided the tree not even realizing. Kisame stood there looking at the fallen team member. Itachi continued to walk through the forest as he past Yuuki.
    “Zoey get up.” Kisame said as he pulled Zoey to her feet.
    Zoey’s eyes glanced around the forest quickly as she jumped onto a tree branch and bounded around the place.
    “Zoey come here!” Kisame yelled as he grabbed at Zoey’s tail.
    “Kisame!” Itachi snarled as he glanced over at Kisame.
    “Kisame I wouldn’t have done that if I where you.” Yuuki announced as she then walked a little ways towards Zoey.
    “YOU DARE PULL MY TAIL!” Zoey screamed as her eyes turned a deep red with blue pupils, “Now you have to pay!”
    “Zoey...” Yuuki said as she touched Zoey’s shoulder, “Stop that.”
    “Yes Yuuki.” Zoey said as she straightened and smiles playfully. Itachi continued to walk as he avoided a tree that suddenly appeared in front of him.
    “WHOA THAT’S LIKE IMPOSSIBLE!” Zoey said as she pointed to the tree.
    “W-what?” Yuuki stammered as her eyes widened slightly.
    “Itachi it’s.. Hidochi!” Kisame yelled as he grabbed onto a ninjas throat that was beside him. Itachi’s eyes light up as he appeared in front of another one and kicked him backwards.
    Yuuki spread her fingers apart then announced a jutsu. As wind circled the main ninja, slowly moving in to crush him.
    “Please stop, it’s not fair lady!” The ninja cried as he babied in the wind. Yuuki’s eyes narrowed as Zoey jumped through the wind spinning wire around the ninja.
    “That was easy.. ” Zoey said as she smirked.
    “Who where those people? Itachi-San?” Yuuki said as she dusted her clothing off slightly.
    “Those where bounty hunters...” Itachi replied.
    “They always stalk us, Gawd they are lame, they are also low life ninja, fools if you wish to say.” Kisame finished.
    “Oh, really...? lame!” Zoey said as she started to walk away stretching slightly.
    “Shall we continue Itachi-San?” Yuuki said as she smiles slightly.
    Itachi started to walk again as Kisame followed beside.
    “They don’t usually show up Itachi. What do you think possessed them to come to us like that?” Kisame laughed.
    “We just finished a fight, even if we didn’t try, they thought we would be weakened.. They probably herd the news from a villager, whom can not fight.” Itachi said slowly as he began to run. He darted past Yuuki and hopped over Zoey. Kisame right on his tail.
    “HEY!” Zoey yelled as she started to run then watched Yuuki dart past her, “HEY! Again!”
    A opening came to, a small INN, probably a bar. Yuuki watched the people through the window carefully as Kisame started towards the door, when Itachi walked right on in. The people stared at Itachi as some girls twirled their hair swiftly to try to get his attention, as Kisame walked in everyone seemed to look away and the ladies stop twirling their hair and began talking desperately to each other. Yuuki opened the door to walk in quietly, some boys whistled at her appearance. Zoey tailed behind as she watched the boys carefully and smiles slyly.
    “Excuse me sir, we need to know the way, to the rivers peek...” Yuuki said as she leaned on the table slightly.
    “Yup :3" Zoey exclaimed while placing her head on her hands and resting her elbows on the table. Kisame sighed and watched the girls behind Itachi as they ran away when Kisame saw them. Itachi stood motionless to this nonsense.
    “Oh sure, just follow the river.” The bar tender answered as he watched Yuuki straighten.
    “Thank you sir...” Yuuki said as she took her leave.
    Itachi walked out of the bar silently ignoring the girls beside him.
    “Sooo how are you all?” Zoey said as she twirled her hair slightly.
    “Lets go Zoe!” Kisame announced as he dragged her out of the bar, “You are so under aged.”
    Itachi began to walk along the river bank watching Yuuki fly ahead, over top of the river. Zoey bursted into a sprint and jumped from tree to tree as Kisame caught up to Itachi.
    “Are you sure this will lead us the right way?” Kisame said as he looked at Yuuki then Zoey then Itachi.
    “It’s the best we got for now, we have to go with it, just keep your eyes opened...” Itachi said as he turned his gaze away from Yuuki and faced the front.
    “Okay Itachi.” Kisame said as he smirked, “Just don’t get too into Yuuki.”
    “I don’t understand your foolishness, lets get going...” Itachi said as he ignored Kisame’s comment slightly.
    “WEEEEEEE!!!” Zoey said as she swung from branch to branch versing Yuuki at a race, unknowing to Yuuki of coarse.
    “Now we will find out what way we are going...” Itachi said as he walked a little faster, and Kisame speed up to Itachi’s speed and kept his pace.
    “READY EVERYONE!” Zoey bursted out loud.
    “Yes.” Yuuki said as she dove in front of Itachi.
    “...” Itachi didn’t know if he should answer.
    “Zoey stop your foolishness for one second.” Kisame sighed.
    “Nope >3" Zoey replied as they all continued through the sand.
