`This is something I can have this is something important to me I have to protect it! Naruto you are important to me more then I realized I think I love you and …what am I going to do I have to get between them and stop this before Kisame catches up oh please kami help me.'

Kat gasped for air Itachi stood directly above her not talking anymore but fighting her heart ached this was wrong no matter she didn't know what had caused him to deceive Sasuke or that she wasn't powerful like her teammates but she could throw what she knew in the air for them to hear and pray that she wasn't to late to stop this tragedy from ripping them apart. Steeling her resolve Kat waited for just the right moment, the ground rumbled and shook as Naruto and Sasuke ran at the missing nin she could smell the burn of ozone had she been above ground she would have felt the hurricane force winds from Naruto's Fuuton Resengan. It was now or never taking more concentration then she realized she forced her body to work and lunged out of the ground shouting at the same time.

“HE DIDN'T KILL THE CLAN!!” the two teens surprised by Kat's shout and sudden appearance were so focused on Itachi that their combined jutsu couldn't be stopped as it was launched Kat squeezed her eyes tightly shut and waited. Something grabbed her around the waist she felt her body go weightless for a moment then she was pressed against a tree and very angry bright blue eyes glared down at her the pupils slitted like a cats `Or a fox.' She thought.

“What the Hell Kat!” Naruto's breath ghosted her cheeks and she felt her face flushing, it just wasn't fair to be that handsome even more so when he was angry.

“He didn't kill the Uchiha clan he lied Orochimaru did with a henge, that's why Itachi joined Akatsuki and he's the reason Orochimaru joined Akatsuki.” Kat nodded her head at Itachi. Sasuke was glaring at her then back to Itachi, his mind was screaming at him that he had to avenge his clan but here was this girl another Uchiha telling him his homicidal brother wasn't homicidal after all. His breathing hitched and his chest felt tighter with something a kin to hope or anger he wasn't sure which.

“Huh?” it was the best he could do at the moment his head hurt his fingers, legs, arms everything hurt and he had just sounded like the dobe with that oh so articulate question. Naruto still holding Kat to the tree went completely still as he processed her words. He didn't get long to do so because Kisame appeared his face flushed and angry he charged the blonde swinging his massive chakra absorbing sword, both Sasuke and Naruto acted picking Kat up and tossing her over his shoulder the blonde leap away as Sasuke formed seals calling out “Katon:Goukakyuu no Jutsu.” The fire ball rushed at the blue skinned man who turning set his water dragon at the grand fire ball “Suiton Suiryuudan no Jutsu.”

Kat huffed clutching the back of the blonde shinobi's black and orange jacket just above his butt her stomach was protesting the shoulder digging in to her and she felt her face getting redder and redder the closer her gripping fingers slide to his butt. The bit of skin that got exposed by her bunching the fabric of his clothes wasn't helping nor the fact that every time he moved her knuckles brushed bare warm tan skin a bit of moisture was sliding down his lower back she assumed was sweat until a another drop landed just above the first drop, her brain took all of 2 seconds to realize it wasn't raining and that she had drooled on him. Kat whimpered in embarrassment swallowing hard directing her naughty thoughts and eyes away from his firm backside.

“Are you alright Kat?” Naruto had felt the moisture on his back but he was more concerned about the whimper he heard which is what caused him to ask her in the first place. “Are you bleeding?” Kat's faced turned a new shade of green.

“Hai, you can put me down.” He eased the young woman off his shoulder, a shiver coursed though her body as his hands slide briefly under her shirt at the waist as he sat her down on the tree branch.

“Stay here I'm going back to help Sasuke-teme and Sakura-chan.” Nodding she watched him as he took off back to his friends before following. `He didn't say how long I had to wait.'

 

 

“Taji Kage Bushin No Jutsu.” A Naruto clone launched him self over the top of the crouching pink haired medic nin's head at Kisame.

“WHERE IS THAT BITCH!” Kisame snarled. His normally calm and collected demeanor thrown out the window he captured the clone in his water prison at the same time sweeping his giant blade at Sakura. The youngest Uchiha just managed to catch the weapon with his Katana using brute strength he shoved the blade and its wielder back allowing Sakura the time to scramble to her feet. Gathering chakra in her hand and releasing it at the right moment she drove it into the ground rupturing the field of battle creating a massive crater. Kisame snarl growled at them both as he jumped into the air to avoid her attack.

“SAKURA GET BACK!” Sasuke yelled at his teammate.

“Amaterasu.” Black fire hotter then the sun surrounded the area where Sakura was crouched. A cloud of smoke erupted around the girl with an audible pop a log appearing where the kunichi had been it was incinerated before it even touched the ground.

Kakashi skidded to a halt behind Itachi the man turned to face him locking eyes and for the second time in his life he was caught in the Uchiha's Tsukuyomi pinned to a cross but unlike last time before Itachi could act some one touched his shoulder and a female voice spoke.

“KAI!” Kakashi blinked rapidly, standing in front of him was his newest student/teammate. Her dark red hair plastered to her back by the rain and her shoulders hunched as she struggled to catch her breath trying to speak at the same time.

“Would you stop…already!” Sharp shallow pants followed her words and she swallowed several times trying to catch her breath again. She didn't dare move because she knew she would collapse if she did. “Damn…..IT!” one hand moved to clutched her shirtfront and she swayed refusing to fall.

“Kat I told you to wait.” Naruto growled at the girl. Kisame ignoring the exchange charged at the girl again, looking in his direction she formed the seals she had seen Sasuke using trying to gather as much of her chakra as she had left unfortunately it wasn't enough.

Three things happened at once Naruto lunged to grab her again, Kisame swung his sword and she felt the heat of an unknown source sizzle in the rain. Kisame and Naruto sprang apart to avoid the fire, both Naruto and Kakashi landed on the same branch above Sasuke and Sakura. Once again Kat found her self perched above a back side she had admired from afar and was now getting personal with the difference this time was Kat didn't have the energy to hold her self up for very long and the last thing she heard before slipping into unconsciousness was Itachi's monotone telling Kisame they were leaving. Calling out to him to stop only came out as a grunt and she was out like a light.

Itachi meet his brothers gaze evenly, he didn't know what had possessed him to intervene as he had but it was a losing battle even with one of there team down it was clear they would not be gather the Kyuubi vessel today. Kisame's retreat placed him beside his partner, he took note of the now none spinning Sharingan eyes.

“We are leaving Kisame-san.” The other nodded and they both leap away it didn't take a genius to figure out that Itachi was spent he had used Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi as they disappeared from view Itachi's eyes faded to the black pools he was born with his face blank revealing none of the inner turmoil he wrestled.

 

“We should go after them.” Naruto looked at his teammates. They were all tired, Sakura's clothes where singed, she was busing working on a shallow cut on the inside of Sasuke's right leg. Kakashi looked none the worse for wear however he was studying Kat's limp body dangling from the blonde's shoulder, noting the darkening color on the blondes tan cheeks he smirked walking up to the blonde and whispered in his ear.

“Oi Naruto if you wanted her that close to your butt you should have asked I have no doubt she would happily,” he didn't get to finish the blonde, his face now entirely red, shot his former sensei a glare swinging at his head at the same time forcing Kakashi to jump back.

“Hentai!” Kakashi snickered. `Mission accomplished.'

“Kakashi-sensei don't you have something better to do?” Naruto growled at the silver haired man who was snicker at his red face.

“Not really!” was the happy chirp. Sakura looking up at them rolled her eyes her lips curving in a smile when she dropped her gaze to their dark haired teammate she found him clenching his fists and glaring in the direction his brother had escaped in.

“Sasuke?” But he was lost in his private musings, Kat had said he didn't kill the clan but if that was true then why did Itachi let him believe that he had?

Sakura waved her hand in front of his face and tried calling to him again, “Sasuke-kun?” Still no response.

Why did Itachi go to Akatsuki then, what was his motive, power maybe? He was inclined to believe his brothers statement of seeing what he was capable of but did that have a hidden meaning behind which he didn't know was there, something he had missed all those years ago? Ahh his brain was overloading with the many different possible reasons and questions but one thing hadn't changed and that was he was after Naruto.

“Doesn't matter.” He snarled taking Sakura by surprise.

“Nani?” She regarded him with puzzled bright green eyes. Turning his head to his pink haired teammate he offered her a small barely there smile of reassurance more a twitching of the lips then it was gone. She eyed him warily prepared to stop him if he gave her any sign he was going to follow Itachi.

“Don't worry Sakura I have a brother here to protect.” His mask of aloofness in place once more.

“Hai, you do.” This time when he smiled it stayed in place, respect for her bluntness overriding his need to present no emotions.

“Well we should get back to the others.” Kakashi called to his other students, he hadn't missed what Sakura had said to Sasuke nor the teen's response and if the happy smile on Naruto's face was any indication then he heard as well.
