Because I don&amp;#39;t think DA staff will let me put up future chapters because of under aged sex. So I will Be dividing the stories into parts... Fan Love (Part One), Night Training (Part Two), Back to Konoha (Part Three), Under Red Clouds (Part Four), Picking Up The Pieces (Part Five). There is an out look on the story&amp;#39;s titles! If any other news comes up about Fan Love I will be posting on DeviantArt.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;external&quot; href=&quot;http://fanlove.wetpaint.comhttp://itachi-luvs-dangoz.deviantart.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;DeviantArt&quot;&gt;DeviantArt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Wow, I can&amp;rsquo;t believe I&amp;rsquo;m doing this but, I will be rewriting Fan Love 1-11. I have had this idea in my head for a little while, but I&amp;rsquo;ve never ad the time and this project will take time, a lot of it. I want to give you guys a more detailed history on the girls and the story line will be somewhat altered. I&amp;rsquo;m not sure as to weather or not I will keep the part with &lt;b&gt;Avatar: The Last Airbender&lt;/b&gt; in. I&amp;rsquo;m a little nervous about rewriting 11 chapters of a story, I&amp;rsquo;m not sure if it is a good idea. I came to this decision because I was going over Fan Love and I realized that it lacked a plot and detail and that bugs the hell out of me&amp;hellip; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Itachi: Damn perfectionist.&lt;br&gt;Ciera: SHUT UP! You are too!&lt;br&gt;Itachi: Yah but not as bad as you. &lt;br&gt;Ciera: -glares- anyways&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The characters will go as shown; Xera {Main}, Tania or Tazza {Main}, Kaohmong {Main}, and here are their stories&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;~~&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Takahashi Xera&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Xera is the Jinchuuriki from the Village Hidden in the Snow. Her mother, Takahashi Asami, and father, Takahashi Masaru, loved the young girl unconditionally along with her younger bother, Takahashi Hiroyaki (Hiro for short), which she cherished. But the village felt otherwise. So one cold dark night her home was raided by two Snow ninja. Her mother and father were killed and her little brother was taken by the two ninja. &amp;ldquo;You never deserved a family you monster.&amp;rdquo; One of ninja had said to her, his golden eyes shot fear into a young Xera. The men left her crying in dark, at that moment she realized that the world was not this safe place that her parents had made it out to be for her. The eight year old was now alone in the world. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Xera had to move into Aomori Nobuo&amp;rsquo;s home where she did the chores to earn her keep in his manor. Nobuo knew that she was the host to the demon named Sumizome. Once he knew that Xera could be trusted he began to train her and teach her the justus of the Snow. Of course the older man couldn&amp;rsquo;t do it by himself; he had someone from the Uchiha clan by his side training her as well. Xera will never forget his name, Uchiha Itachi. She owed a lot to him, all of her training to be more pr&amp;eacute;cis. The Takahashi&amp;rsquo;s abilities blossomed with her intense training. She found that she could heal people faster than the best medical ninja, her chakra was stronger than that of anyone in her village, she was unstoppable. Her master was proud to see the girl to become so strong in such a short amount of time. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One day while she was walking back to the mansion she heard that the ninja from the Leaf were some of the strongest in all the countries next to Sand. Her interest was peaked; she wanted to see how strong these Leaf ninja were. That night as she sat and ate dinner with her Nobuo-sensei, she told him about her plans on going to the Leaf. At first he didn&amp;rsquo;t want her to leave, but after her constant pestering he decided to let the twelve year old move to the Leaf. &amp;ldquo;But on one condition&amp;hellip;,&amp;rdquo; the Aomori said, &amp;ldquo;You will be staying with a friend of mine, I&amp;rsquo;m sure that you will enjoy her. She is a healer and fighter like you. Her name is Tsunade. Rumor has it that she will become the next Hokage. When I talked to Tsunade last she said that when you move there that you will be put into the Academy in Konohagakue once you move there and you will work to become one of the Leaf ninja.&amp;rdquo; He had explained to her. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One month after telling her that she could go she had packed her things and was picked up and escorted to Konoha by two Leaf ninja under orders from the Hokage. The trip back took a week. When she arrived she marveled at the city before her. She moved into Tsunade&amp;rsquo;s residence and got know the next Hokage. Takahashi Xera was now living in the Hidden Leaf Village&amp;hellip; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yamanashi Tania/Tazza&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;Tania grew up roaming the countries with her Father, Yamanashi Kunio, and his wolf Ankoku. Her mother, Yamanashi Famiko, had passed on giving birth to Tania so she had never known her mother, but she wished she had. Tania&amp;rsquo;s intelligence on the countries landscapes grew more and more with day. If you asked her she could tell you the terrain of country by the time she was ten years of age. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Even though she yearned for someone to call her mother the young Yamanashi was a kind, caring, strong, and all around good girl. She took pride in what ever she did and didn&amp;rsquo;t stop and wouldn&amp;rsquo;t stop until she reached her goal. She had her father to thank for her strength and connectivity to her surroundings. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Because the Yamanashi girl has spent her whole life on the road she never had anytime to have any friends, so she spent her days alone. That is until one day when she found a young white fox laying in the path where Kunio and Tania were traveling with a broken leg. The ten year old begged her father to let her keep the kitsune and nurse it back to health. At first he was not sure about the fox; he had always trained wolves so a fox was a change that he was very unsure about. But sure enough the juvenile Tazza nursed the kitsune to back to perfect condition and named her Akio Amaya. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tania and Akio trained day after day. Creating battle strategies and working on animal/human justus. They were amazing. Tania&amp;rsquo;s father knew of her great power and decided to place the girl in the Hidden Leaf. Tania and Akio began their official training in Konoha&amp;rsquo;s Ninja Academy one week after moving to their new home&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Kagoshima Kaohmong&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kaohmong has spent her whole life living in Konohagakue with both of her mother, Kagoshima Hitomi; her father, Kagoshima Taro; two older sisters, Kagoshima Kazumi and Kagoshima Hanako; and her older brother, Kagoshima Kenshin. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;She was a sheltered child growing up. Her father was a very strict man when it came to what his children did. &amp;ldquo;He reminds me of Neji&amp;rsquo;s dad&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; Kao&amp;rsquo;s older brother had said once as they looked at their father. Her mother on the other hand was a quite and peaceful woman. Hitomi and Kao would sit by the river on the Kagoshima property under the family&amp;rsquo;s cherry blossom during the summer and her mother would tell her the stories of her ancestors. How the youngest Kagoshima wanted to be like the great ninja that hailed from her kin. Her dream was to become a great ninja like many before her. Her mother supported her dream, but her father would have nothing of it. He felt that the females were meant to work in the house and not the battle field. Kao hated her father for that. All she wished for was for her father to be proud of her. All he allowed the girl to do was her art, she was an amazing artist but she wanted nothing more than to become a ninja. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;She spent her days up in her room drawing and painting battle scenes and herself as a ninja. Her father would come and see the paintings and burn them all in hope to take away her determination. But she held tight to her ambition. She would never give up on what she wanted to do. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When her older brother had graduated the academy they were the only two siblings left living in the home, the two older sisters had moved out. He would come home and secretly train Kaohmong. Their mother knew about the secret training sessions and kept their father away while they were training. They would train when ever Kenshin was home from a mission. Kaohmong&amp;rsquo;s skills were getting better and better with each concentrated session. That is until the faithful day, the day her father had caught the two. Taro was infuriated with them both and he sent her brother away to live with other relatives. The Kagoshima girl sobbed for days at the fact that her dream was now shattered. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One summer day Kaohmong was walking down the streets of Konoha with few things her mother asked her to run over and get from the market. She looked to the side of her when she heard some one yell &amp;ldquo;Stop her!&amp;rdquo;. She saw a blonde girl running down the street with a big grin on her face. The blonde girl turned her head to look behind her before running into Kao with enough that it knocked the two to the hard earth. All of the Kagoshima&amp;rsquo;s groceries scattered to ground. &amp;ldquo;Oh my god! I&amp;rsquo;m so sorry! Here let me help you with that.&amp;rdquo; The flustered girl said before using her speed to pick up all the items. &amp;ldquo;Here you go.&amp;rdquo; She said to Kao as her breathing was labored. The trouble making girl was about to run off before she heard the Kagoshima say, &amp;ldquo;Wait! Come with me! I can hide you for a while!&amp;rdquo; The blonde nodded and they ran as fast as they could to the Kagoshima manor. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kaohmong brought the groceries to her mother and told her that she would be out on the river with &amp;lsquo;a friend&amp;rsquo; she made at the market. &amp;ldquo;So&amp;hellip; what&amp;rsquo;s you&amp;rsquo;re name?&amp;rdquo; Kao asked the blonde girl. &amp;ldquo;Oh, I&amp;rsquo;m sorry my name is Takahashi Xera and yourself?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;My name is Kagoshima Kaohmong. I noticed earlier today that you were very quick when you were running away from those people and when you picked up my stuff. Are you a&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;A what? Ninja?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Yeah.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Well&amp;hellip; not yet I just came here a few days ago and I have to wait for my papers to be reviewed by the Hokage so that I can become an official residence of Konoha. Then I want to enroll in the ninja academy. Do you go to the ninja academy?&amp;rdquo; Xera asked Kao with a small smile. Kao just looked down and solemnly shook her head. &amp;ldquo;My father doesn&amp;rsquo;t think that women should be ninjas. So that means I can&amp;rsquo;t be one.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Well that&amp;rsquo;s bull!&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;What?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;You should be able to choose whether or not you want to be a ninja.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Yah&amp;hellip; you&amp;rsquo;re right I&amp;rsquo;ll have my mother go enroll me tomorrow!&amp;rdquo; Kao said with a smile. &amp;ldquo;Thanks.&amp;rdquo; The Kagoshima said before hugging Xera tightly. &amp;ldquo;Wow&amp;hellip; you&amp;rsquo;re welcome.&amp;rdquo; She said warmly. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That&amp;rsquo;s exactly what happened the next day. Her father protested the whole thing but her mother went and put Kao in the Ninja Academy. A day later she was sitting in class. She was now one step closer to her dream&amp;hellip; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;Happy reading!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;Creator of Fan Love - &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Courier&quot;&gt;Ciera Peterson&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Affiliates:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;external&quot; href=&quot;http://fanlove.wetpaint.comhttp://heliumballoon.wetpaint.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Helium Balloon &quot;&gt;Helium Balloon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Naruto Characters (c) Masashi Kishimoto &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Avatar: The Last Airbender Characters (c) Mike &amp;amp; Bryan&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Chapter 1</title><link>http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Chapter+1</link><author>FanLoveCreator</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Chapter+1</guid><pubDate>Fri, 28 Nov 2008 23:53:19 CST</pubDate><description>  &lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;f&quot;&gt;  &lt;tbody&gt;  &lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td class=&quot;f&quot;&gt;  &lt;div class=&quot;text&quot;&gt;Fan Love 1: A New Beginning&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Xera looked around her but all she saw was darkness. She heard a sobbing and ran towards the sound. She saw herself looking at her parents&amp;rsquo; bodies and the men who had killed them. She saw her younger self cry out. Xera saw the man with the golden eyes tell her that she never deserved a family and that she was a monster. Her heart raced and she began to cry. &amp;ldquo;No! I did deserve a family! I&amp;rsquo;m not a monster! No!&amp;rdquo; She cried out. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Xera! Xera!&amp;rdquo; Tsunade called as she shook Xera awake. The Takahashi sat up and began to cry into the elder Nin&amp;rsquo;s shoulder. &amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s ok now. It&amp;rsquo;s over. You&amp;rsquo;re ok&amp;hellip; Shh&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; Tsunade said as she patted the girls&amp;rsquo; hair down. &amp;ldquo;Hey, you know what day it is?&amp;rdquo; The older woman whispered. Xera looked up at her with curiosity, her face was still red and tears glistened on her face. &amp;ldquo;Today is your first day at the Academy. Your papers went through and you&amp;rsquo;re on the roll sheet. Congratulations.&amp;rdquo; Tsunade said as she wiped the tears from Xera&amp;rsquo;s face. &amp;ldquo;Really?!&amp;rdquo; Xera responded ecstatically, Tsunade nodded with a smile. &amp;ldquo;Now come on. Get dressed or going to be late on your first day.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Yeah!&amp;rdquo; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tsunade walked out of the room and Xera hopped up out of bed and got on some clothes. She sported a long sleeved net top under a black short sleeve shirt, with a black skirt with thigh length netting underneath, black Nin shoes, and black fingerless gloves. She ran over to her mirror and quickly brushed her blonde hair; she stopped and looked at the black streak that flowed with the sea of gold. She gave a heavy sigh, as she looked at that black streak and how it marked her. Her frown quickly turned to a smile once again as she put on her eye liner at the thought that today was her first day as a student. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;She rushed out of her room and into the kitchen to see Tsunade sitting at the table drinking a cup of tea. She looked up at Xera and gave her a bright smile. Xera sat down across from her and Tsunade poured her a cup. &amp;ldquo;You nervous?&amp;rdquo; The blonde woman asked as she took a sip of the black tea. &amp;ldquo;Yah a little, but I&amp;rsquo;m confident that I will do well.&amp;rdquo; Xera replied as she sipped her tea as well. &amp;ldquo;Good.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Well I must be off. Thank you for the tea and I will see you later.&amp;rdquo; Xera said after brushing her teeth and was standing at the door. &amp;ldquo;Alright.&amp;rdquo; Tsunade said with a small smile. With that Xera walked out the door and down the dirt streets of Konoha. She took a deep breath in hopes of calming down. She walked alone quietly thinking. She became lost in her thoughts. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Close by a troublesome Naruto ran down the streets with a smile on his face. He ran around corners and hopped from roof top to roof top. Xera here some one yell &amp;ldquo;Hey watch it Naruto!&amp;rdquo; Xera turned around to see the blonde boy running as fast as he could with a big grin on his face. The Takahashi stepped out of the way and as Naruto was right in front of her she put her hand out and grabbed a hold of the collar on his bright orange jacket. The young ninja in training flew up and gagged before tripping over himself and falling backwards. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Xera looked down at him and giggled. Not yet knowing who had pulled him down he spat, &amp;ldquo;Who the hell do you think&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; He stopped as he opened his eyes and looked up at the blonde girl. &amp;ldquo;Here let me help you help you up.&amp;rdquo; Xera said as she put out a hand for the boy. Naruto took her hand and she pulled him back to his feet. &amp;ldquo;Hey you&amp;rsquo;re not from around here are you?&amp;rdquo; Uzumaki asked her as they began to walk again. &amp;ldquo;No, I just moved here a week ago.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;From where?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;The Snow.&amp;rdquo; Naruto&amp;rsquo;s eyes looked at her with a look of surprise. &amp;ldquo;What?&amp;rdquo; Xera asked him not sure his look was a good or bad thing. &amp;ldquo;So are you already a ninja from there?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;No. I moved before I could enroll.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Well have you ever wanted to be a leaf ninja?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Why?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Well because that&amp;rsquo;s where I&amp;rsquo;m going&amp;hellip; I&amp;rsquo;m going to ninja academy.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Really, then you could show me where it is. Today is my first day there and I have no clue where it is.&amp;rdquo; Xera asked with a small smile. &amp;ldquo;Of course!&amp;rdquo; Naruto responded with a big grin. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;You know you&amp;rsquo;re not the only new girl here. We also have a girl named Yamanashi Tania and a girl named Kagoshima Kaohmong. I&amp;rsquo;m not sure how they because they &lt;i&gt;are&lt;/i&gt; new and they have stayed pretty quiet and to themselves.&amp;rdquo; Naruto explained. &amp;ldquo;I see, well I already know one of the girls. Kao-chan I already know, but Tania-chan&amp;hellip; never heard of her. You know I&amp;rsquo;ve heard a lot of stuff about you in the past few days I&amp;rsquo;ve been here.&amp;rdquo; Xera replied with a smirk. &amp;ldquo;Really? Like what?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Oh like what a trouble maker you are and how you&amp;rsquo;re a&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; She trailed off. &amp;ldquo;A what?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Nothing&amp;hellip; it&amp;rsquo;s not important.&amp;rdquo; &lt;i&gt;&amp;ldquo;A monster&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The two walked into the school and Naruto asked her which class she had. &amp;ldquo;I think it says Umino Iruka.&amp;rdquo; She said looking down at the paper Tsunade gave her. &amp;ldquo;Perfect! You have class with me!&amp;rdquo; Naruto beamed. &amp;ldquo;Cool.&amp;rdquo; Xera retorted before they walked into the class. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As they walked into the class she saw people who she didn&amp;rsquo;t know. She saw a boy with this black hair and he was just sitting there, his hands were up at his face. &amp;ldquo;Hey who&amp;rsquo;s that?&amp;rdquo; Xera asked as she motioned to Sasuke. Naruto grumbled under his breath before snapping out, &amp;ldquo;Why? Do you think he is cute?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Oh&amp;hellip; no. I was just curious. I don&amp;rsquo;t know anything &amp;lsquo;bout him and I was wondering who he was.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Well his name is Uchiha Sasuke. You are the first girl I&amp;rsquo;ve talked to who doesn&amp;rsquo;t think that he is just so &lt;i&gt;hot&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Uchiha? I&amp;rsquo;ve heard that name before.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Hm. Well there is just Sasuke, his clan was killed when he younger. I guess by his older brother Itachi, but no one knows what happened to him.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Xera&amp;rsquo;s heart sped up. The man that had helped train her was the same man who killed his whole clan. She felt somewhat light headed. She took a deep breath and looked around some more. She saw a girl with bright pink hair and a girl with bleach blonde hair. &amp;ldquo;Hey who are those two girls?&amp;rdquo; Naruto smiled big. &amp;ldquo;The girls with the pink hair is Sakura-chan.&amp;rdquo; A light blush covered his face. &amp;ldquo;You like her huh?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Yah&amp;hellip; and then the other girl is Ino-chan.&amp;rdquo; Naruto explained as the girls sat there and drooled over the young Uchiha boy. &amp;ldquo;Is that what you meant when you said that I was the first girl who has not shown an immediate attraction to Sasuke-kun?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Yah.&amp;rdquo; Naruto said with a sigh.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m gonna go have seat.&amp;rdquo; Xera told Naruto. &amp;ldquo;Yah ok.&amp;rdquo; He said with a small smile. Xera went up to the top row of seats and sat down next to a girl with brown hair and white fox sitting next to her. Xera turned to her with a smile and said, &amp;ldquo;Hi. What&amp;rsquo;s your name?&amp;rdquo; Startled that someone was talking to her she responded quietly, &amp;ldquo;Oh my name is Yamanashi Tania but you can just call me Tazza.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Cool and what&amp;rsquo;s your fox&amp;rsquo;s name?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;This is Akio Amaya. I found her when she was a baby.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;So have you lived here your whole life or did you come from somewhere else?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Well you can say that I have around&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Where?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;The world. My father is nomadic so I&amp;rsquo;ve traveled with him my whole life. What about you? You&amp;rsquo;ve been asking a lot of questions, what&amp;rsquo;s your name and have you lived here your whole life or did you come here from some where else?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Well my name is Takahashi Xera. I came here from the Snow. Maybe I will tell more about myself later&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; Xera said as Kaohmong came into class and sat next to her and Iruka walked into the class. &amp;ldquo;Ok!&amp;rdquo; Tania said with a smile. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Iruka did the roll and looked up at Xera when he went over her name. &amp;ldquo;You&amp;rsquo;re a new student. Aren&amp;rsquo;t you?&amp;rdquo; Iruka said with a small smirk. &amp;ldquo;Yes sensei.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Where are you from?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;The Snow sensei.&amp;rdquo; With that the whole class looked at her in astonishment. She felt uncomfortable and slumped down into her chair. &amp;ldquo;You know class the Snow Ninja are some of most powerful ninja in all the countries next to the Sand and us.&amp;rdquo; The sensei informed his class. &lt;i&gt;&amp;ldquo;Oh no&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo;&lt;/i&gt; Xera thought as she saw a boy named Rock Lee and Sasuke look up at her. &lt;i&gt;&amp;ldquo;This is going to be fun living here now&amp;hellip; thank you Iruka-sensei.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/i&gt; Xera complained to herself. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To be continued&amp;hellip; &lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Night Training Ch.

Kao hoped out of the way as she caught a glimpse of Sasuke out of the corner of her eye. She quickly grabbed a kunai out of her side pouch and threw it in the general direction of where she saw the Uchiha. The leaves and branches from where she threw it moved around. &amp;ldquo;Got you.&amp;rdquo; Kao said in a low voice. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;--&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Itachi led Xera down a dark hallway. His Akatsuki cloak flowing behind him in the light breeze he was creating a he walked. Xera became lost in it for a moment before snapping back. She was becoming increasingly worried about how she was going to not just win the fight, but just survive. Without the use of her wolf how could she beat any of them with just her own strength? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;~~&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tania and Kao met up in different tree, using the moment of calmness that they had. &amp;ldquo;Ok strategies, have any?&amp;rdquo; The brunette asked the raven. &amp;ldquo;Maybe, Sasuke and Naruto are protecting Sakura so if we can take her down then Naruto will come out of hiding, as Sasuke will follow. After we take them out then Kakashi will have no other choice but to come out and face us.&amp;rdquo; She whispered to Tazza as Aiko sat there attentively. &amp;ldquo;Sounds good, But how are we going to get to Sakura? I mean she will probably be hiding some where she will be well hidden.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Have Aiko sniff her out.&amp;rdquo; Kao said as Akio gave a little smile up at Tazza. &amp;ldquo;Oh yah&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; Tania replied as she scratched the back of her head. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Akio, go, go out and find Sakura.&amp;rdquo; Tania commanded before the kitsune jumped out of the tree and ran through the snow in search of the pink haired girl. &amp;ldquo;How will we know when she finds her?&amp;rdquo; Kao Hmong asked as they watched Akio run off. &amp;ldquo;A howl only I can hear, I can only hear it so that the enemies can&amp;rsquo;t.&amp;rdquo; Tazza explained with a small grin. A few moments passed before Tania heard the howl. &amp;ldquo;Found her.&amp;rdquo; She whispered quietly. They ran toward the sound, their feet crunching in the snow beneath them. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To the naked eye, only a blur is seen as they hopped from tree to tree with grace and agility. A light snow fall began to cover the land in a fresh blanket of snow. Tania&amp;rsquo;s obi on her kimono was flapping in the wind she was creating from her speed, while the back of Kao Hmong&amp;rsquo;s dress fluttered behind her. The frozen air stinging their faces like needles piercing their skin. A sharp inhale taken by each froze their insides as well. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Akio stood there on a low branch looking down on where Sakura was hiding. Tania quietly pulled out a kunai, the point of the knife meeting the tip of her middle finger. The metal blade left her hand and plunged into Sakura&amp;rsquo;s back, the pink haired female let out an ear piercing scream as her red blood painted the snow. &amp;ldquo;Heh&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; Tania smirked quietly as she gazed upon the sight below her. &amp;ldquo;Sakura!&amp;rdquo; Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi said as they looked to the direction of where they heard her scream. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;--&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just like in her dream, Itachi led her into this massive cave like room. Two hands were coming out of the ground, on the fingers of the hands she saw the Akatsuki members standing there looking down on her. &lt;i&gt;&amp;ldquo;Oh boy, this is going to be fun.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/i&gt;Xera thought to herself with a mental sigh. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Itachi turned to Xera and signaled her to stop. Her heart was racing, she needed to calm down. The nervous blonde took a deep inhale and sighed heavily. Her hands began to lightly shake, she grit her teeth and tried to shrug off the anxiety that was taking over her body. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Uchiha stood in front of her and took her hands in his, clasping her hands in between his. He stopped her shaking. &amp;ldquo;You&amp;rsquo;ll be ok, I promise. I faith in you, I believe you&amp;rsquo;ll win. Just remember that you have to be careful with how much wolf power you use and&amp;hellip; be careful.&amp;rdquo; He said quietly before letting go of her hands and walking off into darkness. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Pain&amp;rsquo;s voice across the vast room, &amp;ldquo;Xera, as Itachi explained to you, you will be fighting against one of our members. Your opponent will be&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; He took a pause that made Xera even more nervous, she hung her head and shut her eyes. &amp;ldquo;&amp;hellip; Sasori.&amp;rdquo; Her eyes shot open and she looked up. Sasori matched her response; of course she had made friends with more than half of the Akatsuki already. So she was expecting someone that she was semi close to, but Sasori, she never thought that it would be Sasori. Now she was scared shitless.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Itachi cursed Pain under his breath. &lt;i&gt;&amp;ldquo;SASORI!? Damn him. Well I hope she has somewhat bonded with the puppet or else she is screwed. I mean this was expected of Pain to pick someone who was a lot stronger than she was, but within reason.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/i&gt; Itachi thought to himself. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just then a loud voice came over the now battle arena, &amp;ldquo;Beat his ass Xera! I know you can do it! You can do it!&amp;rdquo; Alenia&amp;rsquo;s voice echoed before Kakuzu and Hidan turned around and shut her up. Xera looked up at her friend and smiled; she always loved how Alenia could take a hostile situation and make it hilarious. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Her attention then became serious as she looked to her opponent, fear took over. She took a deep breath and let it out sharply. &lt;i&gt;&amp;ldquo;Demon against puppet, who&amp;rsquo;s gonna win?&amp;rdquo; &lt;/i&gt;Xera asked herself sarcastically. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kisame walked out in between them and gave Xera a look of encouragement; she gave him a look as if to say &lt;i&gt;&amp;lsquo;Help me!&amp;rsquo; &lt;/i&gt;. He shot her another look to say &lt;i&gt;&amp;lsquo;I wish I could.&amp;rsquo; &lt;/i&gt;. Her heart sank he said the rules, &amp;ldquo;Ok you two, here are the rules, any jutsu is ok to use. You can use anything you can to your advantage. Your motive is to not kill, but to either stun or knock out. Got it? You here that Sasori? Don&amp;rsquo;t kill. Other than that I wish you luck Xera-chan.&amp;rdquo; Kisame said with a tone that she was very displeased with. &amp;ldquo;Yah, thanks.&amp;rdquo; Xera responded sarcastically. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;She looked at Sasori then up to Deidara who had a grim look on his face that was not what she wanted to see. &amp;ldquo;Begin!&amp;rdquo; Pain&amp;rsquo;s voice echoed. Xera quickly disappeared to place hidden in the one of the darker parts of the battle arena. Xera mentally thanked Itachi for helping her on her speed, now was the perfect time to use it. Her attention was drawn to a loud noise where Sasori was standing. He had his weapons out, no puppets &lt;b&gt;yet&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Her heart began to pound in her chest. She needed a plan and she needed it quick. The blonde quickly scanned Sasori&amp;rsquo;s body, looking for any obvious weak points. All she saw was her soon demise. Poison tipped tails, pin point accuracy, she knew that she was either gonna make or break this fight. She took a sharp inhale and was back in front of Sasori. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Their eyes met. She saw nothing in his eyes; his blank and meaningless stare showed her that he had no intention on his mind other than her death. Her mind froze; time seemed to stop in her head. She closed her eyes tightly and stood completely still. Sasori saw his chance and went at her, one of his poison tails went right through her abdomen. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Everyone&amp;rsquo;s eyes went big as they watched her blood splatter onto the floor. The end of the tail had the ruby liquid on it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Inside her head her wolf appeared to her. &amp;ldquo;Come on Xera, let&amp;rsquo;s show this puppet, show them all what you and I are capable of.&amp;rdquo; The wolf said as its voice echoed through her. Xera looked up at the massive animal in front of her and nodded slowly with a wicked smile painted on her face. The wolf&amp;rsquo;s black and blue chakra aura went around her legs and up her body.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Outside her body the same was happening. Itachi became nervous as he realized what was happening. Xera&amp;rsquo;s hands quickly wrapped around the tail still inside her body and looked at Sasori with her glowing blue eyes. The blue and black chakra surrounded her body, her canine teeth were protruding out of her mouth. Blood was dripping from her mouth. She ripped the tail out of her body and flung Sasori across the arena with it. The gapping wound in her stomach healed in a matter of seconds. The wolf girl got down on her hands and a chakra aura took the shape of the wolf. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Pain took a sharp gasp and glared at Itachi, he knew that Itachi must have known about it already. Itachi could feel Pain&amp;rsquo;s glare and he gave a slight shiver, he knew that they were both in trouble. Itachi gave the youngest one a long concerned stare.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Xera let out a howl that made the whole place rattle. Sasori got up and studied the girl. Her nails resembled claws and her hair had turned a pitch black. She heard the puppet move and stared in his direction, her eyes filled with hate. Then she was gone. Sasori quickly regained his battle stance and scanned the room. One of the poison tails was removed from his back and the deadly mixture fell down to the floor. Another howl echoed through the room. Two more tails fell, three more remained. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The red head looked around the room and soon realized what she was doing. The three were then gone and she was standing behind him. A kunai was held up to his &amp;lsquo;heart&amp;rsquo;. She let the sharp metal skim across it, he shivered in displeasure. &amp;ldquo;I haven&amp;rsquo;t spent enough time with you, after this battle I will make sure to get to know you.&amp;rdquo; Xera whispered into his ear. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sasori&amp;rsquo;s eyes went wide at what had just happened. The blue chakra aura glowing around her shined light through out the whole place. Pain&amp;rsquo;s gaze was burning through Itachi. The Uchiha didn&amp;rsquo;t care what happened to him anymore, all he cared about what was happening to his student. Kisame looked at Itachi and knew what was going on. The shark looked down at the girl and squinted. All this time he didn&amp;rsquo;t know that the girl they had been watching was a Jinchuuriki. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Xera grinned before whispering into Sasori&amp;#39;s ear again, &amp;ldquo;I thought fighting you would be more of a challenge.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Heh, you would have thought so eh?&amp;rdquo; The puppet said before his body turned to sand and slipped through her finger tips. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Her eyes went wide before hearing him laugh, the sound echoed through the walls of the battle arena. Xera&amp;rsquo;s heart began to pound out of chest, her hands shaking again. &lt;i&gt;&amp;ldquo;No! You are not going to ball up again! Stand your ground you weak little girl! I&amp;rsquo;m not about to lose to a puppet! And neither will you!&amp;rdquo;&lt;/i&gt; The wolf&amp;rsquo;s voice boomed though Xera&amp;rsquo;s head. &amp;ldquo;Shut up! I know!&amp;rdquo; Xera yelled out loud before getting down on all four and letting her paralyzing scream ring through the room. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All, except Itachi, fell to the ground paralyzed. He only reason Itachi didn&amp;rsquo;t was because of a blue crystal necklace Xera had given him in the beginning of their training so he would not be affected. The Uchiha saw his chance and hopped down to wear Xera was standing. She was shaking heavily, before she collapsed onto the ground. The blue chakra aura around her dissipated.&lt;i&gt; &amp;ldquo;That will do for now&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo;&lt;/i&gt; The wolf spoke again softly into the girls mind. &amp;ldquo;Thanks&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; She replied before her eyes shut and she slipped into unconsciousness. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Itachi sighed and picked up his student and ran out of the arena and down the series of halls. He then reached his room&amp;rsquo;s door and he burst through it. He gently laid her down on the bed and stroked the side of her face. &amp;ldquo;You did it, you&amp;rsquo;re now&amp;hellip; accepted.&amp;rdquo; He sighed. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To be continued&amp;hellip; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Nigh Training Ch.

She saw Deidara, Kisame, and Sasori and smiled at them. The look on their faces didn&amp;rsquo;t look promising. They each wore a face of sadness. She began to become very nervous. &amp;ldquo;Itachi-sensei&amp;hellip; w-what&amp;rsquo;s going on?&amp;rdquo; The blonde asked, her hands shaking. &amp;ldquo;It will only hurt for a minute my angel.&amp;rdquo; He said before hopping up onto an open finger. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Itachi&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; She called out weakly, her hands shaking out of her control. A blue chakra aura surrounded her. She let out a high pitch scream as pain overwhelmed her. Tears welled up in her eyes. &amp;ldquo;Itachi&amp;hellip; Dei... Kisame&amp;hellip; Sasori&amp;hellip; what. Are&amp;hellip; you doing to me?&amp;rdquo; She whispered as her eyes shut, her mind going blank, all around her, darkness.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;~~&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Her high pitch scream rang through the room, then darkness. She felt light, lighter than air. Her head felt like it spinning, she felt sick, her body aching. The thought of Naruto crossed over her mind. The last of the time she had spent with him, his kiss, and his soft touch on her face, she missed him already. She then felt her arm being shaken. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Her eyes shot open. &lt;i&gt;&amp;ldquo;It was just a dream.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/i&gt;Xera thought to herself, as she saw Deidara and Tobi standing on either side of her. &amp;ldquo;Hey! She&amp;rsquo;s awake, un!&amp;rdquo; Deidara said smiling. &amp;ldquo;Huh?&amp;rdquo; Xera said rubbing the side of her head. &amp;ldquo;You scared us greatly Xera-chan.&amp;rdquo; Tobi said quietly wiping a little sweat from her face. &amp;ldquo;Why, what happened to me?&amp;rdquo; She questioned laying back down again. &amp;ldquo;You fell unconscious last night while Itachi and Alena were bringing you back here. Then just now you were tossing, turning around, sweating and screaming&amp;hellip; you weren&amp;rsquo;t dreaming about&amp;hellip; you know&amp;hellip;. Were you?&amp;rdquo; Deidara asked scooting away from her for a moment. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;What!? No&amp;hellip; no. It was just a bad dream. What is Tobi-san doing here?&amp;rdquo; Xera asked she pulled Deidara down to her and cuddled up to him. She knew that she could always cuddle with Deidara and have it not mean a thing. &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m here because I heard that you were coming to stay for some time and I decided to come and see my favorite little Xera-chan!&amp;rdquo; Tobi said leaning over tickling her, &amp;ldquo;Ahh! Tobi-kun!&amp;rdquo; Xera said through her laughing. &amp;ldquo;God I missed you guys.&amp;rdquo; Xera said snuggling up closer to Deidara. &amp;ldquo;We missed you too Xera-chan.&amp;rdquo; Tobi whispered wrapping his arms around the young blonde. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The three of them enjoyed each others company until they were interrupted by a disgruntled Uchiha. &amp;ldquo;She&amp;rsquo;s fine now. Out. Now.&amp;rdquo; Itachi commanded harshly. Xera sat up and looked at Itachi who was standing there in a towel. She gave a dark blush and the two older Nin nodded and got out of the room. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;You didn&amp;rsquo;t have to be so mean to them Itachi-sensei.&amp;rdquo; Xera said keeping her back to him, not wanting to see her teacher nude. &amp;ldquo;Yah&amp;hellip; well I wanted them out of here. That&amp;rsquo;s all.&amp;rdquo; Itachi said quietly. &amp;ldquo;Oh I see&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; Xera said hiding the deep red blush painting her face. Itachi gave a slight nod, not like she could see it. He glanced at her once he had his pants on.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;His hair was still dripping wet, the water beading on his bare chest. &amp;ldquo;Xera-chan.&amp;rdquo; Itachi said quietly. &amp;ldquo;Y-yes Itachi-sensei?&amp;rdquo; She replied sheepishly. &amp;ldquo;Why are you shaking?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Oh&amp;hellip; I umm heh&amp;hellip; I was uh respecting your privacy by not looking at you as you change.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Mhmm. Well you don&amp;rsquo;t have to. I wouldn&amp;rsquo;t mind.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;The only reason as to why you wouldn&amp;rsquo;t mind is because you just want sex.&amp;rdquo; He smiled at her and sat up behind her, his chest felt like a wall being pressed against her. &amp;ldquo;No, that&amp;rsquo;s not true. I want you to get used to my body my angel. Because you&amp;rsquo;ll get to see every inch of me, why not get you used to me now?&amp;rdquo; Itachi whispered in to her ear, his soft breath on her ear sent chills through her. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;I-I uh... don&amp;rsquo;t think t-that this is um r-right.&amp;rdquo; Xera stammered. &amp;ldquo;Why not?&amp;rdquo; The raven haired man questioned as his hands snaked down the front of her body. &amp;ldquo;B-because, y-you&amp;rsquo;re my teacher and I-I don&amp;rsquo;t feel as though y-you and I should have a r-romantic relationship.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Is that so?&amp;rdquo; He mocked. &amp;ldquo;Yes, now please respect that.&amp;rdquo; She said sternly, now becoming upset that he was not listening to her reasoning. &amp;ldquo;Well we&amp;rsquo;re only 5 years apart.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Yah, to me that&amp;rsquo;s sort of a big difference.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Not that big, remember your grandparents are 13 years apart.&amp;rdquo; His lips brushing on her neck when he spoke. &amp;ldquo;Y-yes, but they love each other. I don&amp;rsquo;t love you like my grandmother loves my grandfather.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;That may be true&amp;hellip; but I love you more anyone ever could.&amp;rdquo; He said as his hand slid down the front of her pants. &amp;ldquo;Itachi-sensei! Stop it!&amp;rdquo; She yelled as his hand explored her.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Hmm&amp;hellip; but you&amp;rsquo;re so warm and I&amp;rsquo;m so cold. I need your heat, love.&amp;rdquo; He whispered kissing at her neck. &amp;ldquo;Itachi&amp;hellip; haa&amp;hellip; please stop&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; Xera pleaded quietly as his fingers entered her. &amp;ldquo;Mmm, angel, you&amp;rsquo;re so warm.&amp;rdquo; The Uchiha said quietly. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;ldquo;Oh, my&amp;hellip; god. What&amp;rsquo;s it gonna take with him. Why must he do this? That sick&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo;&lt;/i&gt; She began to think, but his fingers went deeper and she fell forward onto her hands. She was now on her hands and knees. &amp;ldquo;Itachi&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; She moaned reluctantly. &amp;ldquo;That&amp;rsquo;s better&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; He whispered as he leaned over her. His tongue licked up and down her neck. &amp;ldquo;Mmm&amp;hellip; Itachi&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; She whispered, feeling disgusted at the fact she was enjoying this. Her hips began to rock to his fingers. &lt;i&gt;&amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m giving him just what he wants&amp;hellip; but I feel like I want this too&amp;hellip; all I&amp;rsquo;ve just tried to stand for&amp;hellip; is gone&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; &lt;/i&gt;Xera thought as she moaned his name again. &amp;ldquo;Good pet.&amp;rdquo; He moaned quietly, his voice full of lust. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Itachi pulled his fingers out of her right before she climaxed, her chest heaving. &amp;ldquo;I-if you&amp;rsquo;re g-going to f-fuck with me&amp;hellip; at least finish.&amp;rdquo; Xera whispered. He flipped her over and his lips crashed against of hers. He begged for entrance as one hand was behind her back holding her to him, while his other hand was supporting them both. She feebly parted her lips for him and let him. Her arms wrapped around his back, only helping him support them.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There was a knock at the door; it was Alena checking on them. &amp;ldquo;Hey, Ciera-chan&amp;rsquo;s awake right?&amp;rdquo; She asked through the door. Xera pulled away from Itachi&amp;rsquo;s mouth and replied, &amp;ldquo;Yah! Come in!&amp;rdquo; Itachi dropped her to the bed as she smirked. &amp;ldquo;You win this time my love.&amp;rdquo; He whispered. &amp;ldquo;I will always win.&amp;rdquo; Was her retort. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Alena walked in with a smile on her face. She saw Ciera laying on the bed with a blush on her face and sweating, and Itachi had an upset look on his face. &amp;ldquo;Did I interrupt something?&amp;rdquo; The confused witch asked taking a step back toward the door. &amp;ldquo;Yah, you kinda did.&amp;rdquo; The raven replied as he put a shirt on. &amp;ldquo;Oh I&amp;rsquo;m sorry. I&amp;rsquo;ll go.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;No! Please stay!&amp;rdquo; Xera called out, Alena gave her a look as if to say &amp;lsquo;What are you talking about?&amp;rsquo;. &amp;ldquo;She&amp;rsquo;s just being silly right now; she has not been herself since she woke up. I think she needs some sleep. She&amp;rsquo;ll be out later.&amp;rdquo; Itachi said as he walked over to the bed and sat down next to Xera. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A smirk spread across his face as he convinced Alena to leave them. &amp;ldquo;If she&amp;rsquo;s not feeling well then I think I should have Kakuzu-san take a look at her.&amp;rdquo; Alena said walking over to Xera and Itachi. The witch placed her hand on Xera&amp;rsquo;s forehead and pulled it away. &amp;ldquo;She is very hot; I&amp;rsquo;m going to take her to Kakuzu-san.&amp;rdquo; Alena said as she pulled her friend to her feet. &amp;ldquo;Thank you Alena-chan.&amp;rdquo; Xera said softly. &amp;ldquo;Just bring her back once she has seen him.&amp;rdquo; Itachi said in a pouting tone. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The two girls walked out of the room and down the hall. &amp;ldquo;Thank you.&amp;rdquo; Xera said quietly. &amp;ldquo;You&amp;rsquo;re welcome, so what was going on in there?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Oh, well&amp;hellip; um&amp;hellip; Itachi was horny. So you can use your imagination.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;d rather not.&amp;rdquo; Alena said with a small smile on her face. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;--&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;She left!?&amp;rdquo; Tsunade yelled. &amp;ldquo;Yes, she left last night. I was there the whole time. Nothing went wrong. Everything went as planned. There is no need for concern.&amp;rdquo; Jiraiya reassured. &amp;ldquo;I see. Hm. Well were there any conditions set? As to her safety or her training?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Yes, Itachi-san  will watch over her, protect her and make sure she stays on a regular training schedule. Now we just have to hope he stays true to his word.&amp;rdquo; Jiraiya explained with a sigh. Tsunade nodded and looked out her window. &amp;ldquo;I hope he does.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;--&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Three kunai flew through the air and got stuck into a target. &amp;ldquo;Damn it!&amp;rdquo; Kao yelled as she missed the center. &amp;ldquo;Relax; you&amp;rsquo;ll get it next time.&amp;rdquo; Tania said with a smile, Kao shot a glare at her not sure if it was serious or just Tania mocking her. &amp;ldquo;Yah well, the shorter time it takes for us to become part of ANBU the sooner we see Ciera.&amp;rdquo; The younger of the two said sighing. &amp;ldquo;Yah I know. I hope she&amp;rsquo;s doing ok. I still think this mission is unnecessary. I mean why her to begin with, we have plenty of good ninjas that equal her strength. Second, why would she accept it!? She has people here who love and care about her! Why would she just leave all of it like that!? I know she&amp;rsquo;s doing it for the village, but she didn&amp;rsquo;t even consider anyone else&amp;rsquo;s feelings. I mean for her to just disappear into the night never to return. It&amp;rsquo;s not fair.&amp;rdquo; Tazza said as tears streamed down her face, Aiko came up and nuzzled Tazza. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;She&amp;rsquo;s not gone forever and she did say goodbye. I think you&amp;rsquo;re throwing this way out of proportion. She&amp;rsquo;ll be just fine. She&amp;rsquo;s a strong girl. I believe in her. And she will be back! Believe it!&amp;rdquo; Naruto said as he stood there in between two trees. &amp;ldquo;N-Naruto&amp;hellip; how long have you been standing there?&amp;rdquo; Tania said as her heart started to beat out of control as the thought she could have blown the missions secret. &amp;ldquo;Ever since you said &amp;lsquo;I mean for her to just disappear into the night never to return. It&amp;rsquo;s not fair.&amp;rsquo; Don&amp;rsquo;t lose faith in her you two.&amp;rdquo; Naruto said with a smile. &amp;ldquo;You should be happy for Ciera-chan. Instead of wishing her back, you should praise her for the opportunity to further her training in her home country.&amp;rdquo; Kakashi said as he hopped down from a tree. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The next thing the girls knew they were surrounded by team seven. &amp;ldquo;What are you guys doing here?&amp;rdquo; Tania asked with a small smile. &amp;ldquo;Training. Talking. Making sure you guys get the proper training so you can become part of ANBU, well at least I am. They are just here because I am.&amp;rdquo; Kakashi replied glancing at Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke. &amp;ldquo;Wait, are you saying that you&amp;rsquo;re going to be our new sensei?&amp;rdquo; Kao Hmong asked, he nodded in response. &amp;ldquo;Wow! This is great!&amp;rdquo; Tania exclaimed happily. &amp;ldquo;Yes, now lesson one.&amp;rdquo; Kakashi said before team seven hopped back into the trees.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tania and Kao stood back to back in a battle stance. &amp;ldquo;Naruto is pretty straight forward in his attacks.&amp;rdquo; Tania whispered. &amp;ldquo;Sasuke thinks and plans out his attacks before executing them, he uses great strategy.&amp;rdquo; Kao whispered. &amp;ldquo;Sakura usually is very slow in her attacks; she is used more for medical purposes.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Kakashi&amp;hellip; just watch out of his Sharingan. Sasuke learned from him, so he has the same sort o fighting as Sasuke.&amp;rdquo; Kao Hmong spoke in a quiet tone after Tania. &amp;ldquo;You ready?&amp;rdquo; Tazza said as they both looked out to the trees. &amp;ldquo;Yah.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A kunai flew through the air with a paper bomb attached. &amp;ldquo;Get down!&amp;rdquo; Tazza yelled as she jumped away from the explosion. Kao hoped out of the way as she caught a glimpse of Sasuke out of the corner of her eye. She quickly grabbed a kunai out of her side pouch and threw it in the general direction of where she saw the Uchiha. The leaves and branches from where she threw it moved around. &amp;ldquo;Got you.&amp;rdquo; Kao said in a low voice. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;--&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;She has a fever. Give her this. I had Sasori make this up for her while she was still knocked out.&amp;rdquo; Kakuzu said as he handed Alena a vile of medicine. &amp;ldquo;Ok, thanks. Anything else?&amp;rdquo; Alena questioned as her friend lay there on the bed sleeping. &amp;ldquo;She could also be home sick. It&amp;rsquo;s normal. She&amp;rsquo;ll be back to her old self in a few days.&amp;rdquo; He said handing Alena her pentagram necklace with one of tentacles. &amp;ldquo;You left this in here the other day after ritual.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Oh thank you, Kakuzu-sama.&amp;rdquo; She replied taking the necklace. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Who the fuck is in my bed?!&amp;rdquo; Hidan yelled as he walked in the room. &amp;ldquo;OH Hidan-sensei!&amp;rdquo; Alena exclaimed. &amp;ldquo;Shut up Hidan. It&amp;rsquo;s just Ciera, Alena brought her in and I put her into a chemically induced sleep. She&amp;rsquo;ll be up soon. Just calm down or else you&amp;rsquo;ll piss Pain off. That&amp;rsquo;s the last thing we need right now.&amp;rdquo; The older man said calmly. &amp;ldquo;I don&amp;rsquo;t fucking care! Get her the fuck out of my bed!&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Hidan-sensei, you have to calm down.&amp;rdquo; Alena said quietly. &amp;ldquo;Hidan&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;What?!&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Stop it&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; Kakuzu said before placing a light kiss on Hidan&amp;rsquo;s lips. &amp;ldquo;Enough for now.&amp;rdquo; He whispered against Hidan&amp;rsquo;s soft lips. The white haired man nodded and quietly walked out of the room. &amp;ldquo;I hate it when you two all go all gay on me like that.&amp;rdquo; Alena said with a sigh. &amp;ldquo;Relax. He&amp;rsquo;s still yours, but I get him on occasions.&amp;rdquo; Kakuzu said with a small smirk. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Alena sat her unconscious friend up and poured the medicine into her open mouth. The witch caught a glimpse of a figure in the doorway. &amp;ldquo;Is she ok?&amp;rdquo; Itachi&amp;rsquo;s deep voice gave Alena goose bumps. &amp;ldquo;Yeah, she&amp;rsquo;s fine&amp;hellip; but she&amp;rsquo;s in a chemically induced sleep. So you&amp;rsquo;ll have to wait for your little toy.&amp;rdquo; She replied laying Xera gently back down onto the bed. &amp;ldquo;Toy?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Yes Itachi, toy. You treat her like she doesn&amp;rsquo;t have feelings, thoughts, and a life. You have to keep in mind she didn&amp;rsquo;t &lt;i&gt;have&lt;/i&gt; to do this you know, she did it because she really did want to further her training and learn more about ninjas across the world and about their different justus. Not so that you could have a person to do your little sex fantasies with. So lay off.&amp;rdquo; The red haired girl said turning back to Itachi. &amp;ldquo;Fine. At least let me take her back to our room so she doesn&amp;rsquo;t continue to piss Hidan-san off.&amp;rdquo; The Uchiha said lifting her up. &amp;ldquo;Yah, ok fine&amp;hellip; but that&amp;rsquo;s all! Got it!?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Yes, I know. God, I&amp;rsquo;m not that nasty.&amp;rdquo; He said before walking out of the room with Xera in his arms. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Few hours passed before Xera regained consciousness. She sat up in what looked like Itachi&amp;rsquo;s bed, if the Uchiha Clan seal didn&amp;rsquo;t it for her when she looked to the side of the bed and saw it on an old shirt of his. &amp;ldquo;Mmm&amp;hellip; my head.&amp;rdquo; She said as she rubbed the side of her head. &amp;ldquo;Oh good, you&amp;rsquo;re awake just in time.&amp;rdquo; Itachi&amp;rsquo;s voice said from across the room. &amp;ldquo;In time for what?&amp;rdquo; The dazed girl asked setting her feet on the floor next to her. &amp;ldquo;Pain-dono and the rest of the Akatsuki want to see you; he wants to see how you are in battle. You see before you become part of the Akatsuki you must first pass a test. In order to pass, you must defeat an Akatsuki member in battle. He picks who you fight.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Piece of cake.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;But you mustn&amp;rsquo;t use the wolf.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;What!? How am I supposed to defeat one of guys without the use of my wolf!?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;You can use a little bit of the power, but you can&amp;rsquo;t go all the way or else he will know about the whole thing. You got it?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Yah&amp;hellip; I get it&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Itachi led Xera down a dark hallway. His Akatsuki cloak flowing behind him in the light breeze he was creating a he walked. Xera became lost in it for a moment before snapping back. She was becoming increasingly worried about how she was going to not just win the fight, but just survive. Without the use of her wolf how could she beat any of them with just her own strength? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To be continued&amp;hellip; &lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Night Training (Part 2)</title><link>http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Night+Training+%28Part+2%29</link><author>FanLoveCreator</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Night+Training+%28Part+2%29</guid><pubDate>Mon, 10 Nov 2008 13:17:15 CST</pubDate><description>When I closed the 1st part of the Fan Love story I left you with some unanswered questions, well I&amp;rsquo;m here now to answer them for you my lovelies! I hope you enjoy my next installment of Fan Love titled &amp;lsquo;Night Training&amp;rsquo;. This part will talk about Ciera&amp;rsquo;s troubles with having a sensei that&amp;rsquo;s in the Akatsuki and being part of the Akatsuki herself. We also can&amp;rsquo;t forget the team she left in Konoha! Night Training will also the achievements of her comrades Tania, Kao Hmong and everyone favorite little kitsune Akio! I know she&amp;rsquo;s not a very big character, but she&amp;rsquo;s there! So let&amp;rsquo;s show a little love to Tazza&amp;rsquo;s little Akio. Anyways, I will show you all the continuing life of the trio of girls in my favorite place, Konoha! So enough with my stupid self! Let&amp;rsquo;s get on with the story! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Oh yah, I changed Ciera&amp;rsquo;s name to Xera. It be her new identity. People who are not aware of her new name change will call her Ciera, but she will correct them. So that could be a little confusing if you didn&amp;rsquo;t know about it! All of Ciera/Xera&amp;rsquo;s powers are the same. All Xera is, is just a name change! That&amp;rsquo;s all. She&amp;rsquo;s not a new character, just a name change!!! That reminds me. I changed Angela&amp;rsquo;s name as well, to Alena.  &lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Chapter 20</title><link>http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Chapter+20</link><author>FanLoveCreator</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Chapter+20</guid><pubDate>Mon, 10 Nov 2008 13:16:02 CST</pubDate><description>Fan Love 20&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;What has that girl gotten herself into?&amp;rdquo; Tsunade asked Jiraiya, not looking for an answer. &amp;ldquo;To be honest, I think this is going to work. In the time that I&amp;rsquo;ve been watching the girls, the time that they&amp;rsquo;ve lived here, and on the few missions you put them through, she&amp;rsquo;s always been about her friends. Anything she can do to keep them and the village safe, she&amp;rsquo;ll do it. I total faith that this plan will work and that the Akatsuki will be taken out in a matter of a few years.&amp;rdquo; Jiraiya said with a small smile on his face. &amp;ldquo;I hope you&amp;rsquo;re right&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;~~&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera sat up on the roof of Naruto&amp;rsquo;s house, thinking. It was the day she was leaving, there was a note on Naruto&amp;rsquo;s nightstand that read&amp;hellip; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;ldquo;Dear Naruto-kun,&lt;br&gt;By the time you get this I will already be gone and I lied, I&amp;rsquo;m going out to further my training. I&amp;rsquo;m not leaving because I don&amp;rsquo;t love and don&amp;rsquo;t want to be around you. I don&amp;rsquo;t want you to think that for one moment. I love you with all my heart and I wish you the best in all that you do. It&amp;rsquo;s funny, you and I just fall in love have the best three weeks of our lives and then I have to leave you for training. Just to let you know where I&amp;rsquo;m going, it&amp;rsquo;s far. Very far. I&amp;rsquo;m going to the land of snow; I guess that&amp;rsquo;s where my wolf was sealed in me. Now before you start to worry, I already have a sensei there that will be training me. You wouldn&amp;rsquo;t know his name even if I told you. So just don&amp;rsquo;t ask. Hey, tell Sakura to keep training hard, and tell her from me, that I think that if continues to work hard I know that she&amp;rsquo;ll be a great medical ninja. I also want you to tell Sasuke for me that, I will see him sooner than he thinks, and don&amp;rsquo;t worry about &amp;lsquo;him&amp;rsquo;, he&amp;rsquo;s just creepy looking on the outside&amp;hellip; well on the inside too I guess!  This is for all the other teams; I have faith in you all! You&amp;rsquo;ll all become amazing ninja! Oh, and Gaara&amp;hellip; you better take good care of my Tazza-chan while I&amp;rsquo;m gone! I&amp;rsquo;ll miss you all so much, and Naruto I love you so much, keep up on your training. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;With love,&lt;br&gt;Ciera ~&amp;hearts;~&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;P.S. I think I figured out my ninja way! &amp;lsquo;I will do everything I can to keep who and what I love safe.&amp;rsquo; What do you think? &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;She sighed hard and looked out to the moon that lit the dark night. She had to meet Itachi and Angela at the gate in only a few minutes with the escort of her two comrades. &amp;ldquo;What am I doing?&amp;rdquo; She asked herself quietly as she lay down on the roof. Tazza, Aiko and Kao landed on the roof next to her. They were dressed in all black, much like Ciera.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;You ready?&amp;rdquo; Tazza asked quietly. &amp;ldquo;Yah.&amp;rdquo; The blonde responded as she stood up. She looked up to the moon, feeling the rays of pale light shone on her face. She could feel the wolf inside her awaken, the slow leak of the powerful chakra making her feel more exhilarated with each passing moment. A fourth person landed on the roof. All the girls turned around to see who it was, it was Jiraiya. &amp;ldquo;So you decided to come?&amp;rdquo; Ciera asked with a smirk. &amp;ldquo;Yah, I wanted to make sure everything went as planned. I want to make sure that he keeps his word. Plus I knew that you weren&amp;rsquo;t going to see Tsunade before you left, so I&amp;rsquo;m here to give a positive report. Now come on, they should be there by now.&amp;rdquo; The eldest Nin said as he smiled at the girls. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The four ran towards the gates of the city. At the gate they could see two figures, Angela and Itachi. Ciera&amp;rsquo;s heart began to race as the reality sunk in. &lt;i&gt;&amp;ldquo;Oh my god, I&amp;rsquo;m really going&amp;hellip; Itachi&amp;rsquo;s going to be my sensei, I&amp;rsquo;m going to double cross them&amp;hellip; and I could be killed in the process. Naruto&amp;hellip; I&amp;rsquo;m sorry.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/i&gt; The nervous blonde thought as she got closer to the gate. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Itachi smirked behind the tall collar of his Akatsuki cloak. &amp;ldquo;Itachi, relax.&amp;rdquo; Angela whispered to Itachi, he nodded. Ciera, Tania, Kao Hmong and Jiraiya stopped when they were 10 feet away from the Akatsuki members. The guards that were supposed to be watching the gates were knocked out, their bodies hunched over the desk. Kao shuddered at the sight of the lifeless bodies&amp;rsquo; feet away from her. A wind blew through the dark night; it sent a chill down Ciera&amp;rsquo;s spine. Tazza didn&amp;rsquo;t take her eyes off Angela, staring her down. Jiraiya and Itachi remained in a locked gaze on each other. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Alright. We brought her. Now we&amp;rsquo;ll work out the conditions.&amp;rdquo; Jiraiya stated in a commanding voice. Itachi nodded once again. &amp;ldquo;She remains safe. Out of harms way. Out of the deathly will of Pain. Does he know about the demon?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Is aware of the demon, but he doesn&amp;rsquo;t know that it&amp;rsquo;s her.&amp;rdquo; Itachi responded in a dark voice. &amp;ldquo;Good, now don&amp;rsquo;t let him know. He does not need to know that she has the demon. You will make sure that she stays on a regular training schedule, simple missions. Of course that also pertains to how you guys run things in the Akatsuki.&amp;rdquo; Jiraiya explained, not missing a beat. Itachi nodded in agreement. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The eldest Nin looked at Ciera and nodded, giving her the &amp;ldquo;O.K.&amp;rdquo;. She slowly walked up to Itachi. Her heart was beating out of her chest. She was so nervous at the idea that all that she loved was being left behind. She stopped in front of the Uchiha. &amp;ldquo;Itachi.&amp;rdquo; She whispered. &amp;ldquo;Hello my angel.&amp;rdquo; He responded touching the side of her face. &amp;ldquo;I told you to never call me that. I will never love you like I love Naruto.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;That will soon change my little wolf.&amp;rdquo; He said darkly. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tears welled up in Tania and Kao&amp;rsquo;s eyes. They ran over and gave Ciera a big hug. &amp;ldquo;We&amp;rsquo;re going to miss you!&amp;rdquo; Tania said through her sobs. &amp;ldquo;Please don&amp;rsquo;t forget about us&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; The raven haired girl said nuzzling her friend. &amp;ldquo;Oh Danna&amp;hellip; I will never forget you, either of you. I promise.&amp;rdquo; Ciera said stroking the short black hair of her friend. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The blonde released her grip on the two. They stepped away from her and let Jiraiya walk past them. &amp;ldquo;Be safe. The village can&amp;rsquo;t afford to lose more ninja like you. Please don&amp;rsquo;t lose yourself.&amp;rdquo; He said before pulling her into a hug. &amp;ldquo;I promise I will do everything I can to keep who and what I love safe. Heh&amp;hellip; believe it.&amp;rdquo; She replied with a smile as a few tears made their way down her face. All the leaf Nin smiled and laughed at the stupid reference as the tears made them sound sick with the sniffles. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera turned back around to Itachi and nodded. &amp;ldquo;Good bye.&amp;rdquo; She said in a monotone. Then they were off into the dark night. Soft cries escaped Ciera&amp;rsquo;s lips as they hopped from tree to tree. &amp;ldquo;Good bye, Naruto.&amp;rdquo; She whispered. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;~~&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The next morning was just like any other. Naruto woke up to the sun shining on his face, he yawned and stretched. &amp;ldquo;Mmm&amp;hellip; good morning Ciera.&amp;rdquo; He said quietly, silence. His eyes shot open at the lack of response. &amp;ldquo;Ciera?&amp;rdquo; He said sitting up. He looked to his nightstand to see the note she left, he picked up the letter and read it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He quietly set the note down and let a few tears fall. &amp;ldquo;No&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; He whispered as tears fell to the floor. His eyes were clenched tightly trying to grasp the one who had been just like him, had felt his pain, his worries, his hate, his love. He took a deep breath and calmed down. &amp;ldquo;She&amp;rsquo;ll be fine. She&amp;rsquo;s just going out to further her training. It&amp;rsquo;s not like she left me.&amp;rdquo; He told himself as he got dressed. &amp;ldquo;Yah, maybe if I talk to Tazza and Kao I&amp;rsquo;ll get a few more answers.&amp;rdquo; He continued to talk to himself as he walked out the door. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;With the letter in his pocket he ran down the street to try and find the two female ninja. &amp;ldquo;Home? No.&amp;rdquo; Naruto said as he knocked on each of their doors. &amp;ldquo;Library? No.&amp;rdquo; He said with a sigh. &amp;ldquo;Then they should be at the training grounds.&amp;rdquo; He thought to himself. And sure enough there they were. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tania, Aiko and Kao were at the training grounds. They sat there in the snow, a sad look on their faces. &amp;ldquo;Tazza-chan!&amp;rdquo; Naruto called out. The kitsune and girl looked up to see the blonde running up to them. &amp;ldquo;Oh no.&amp;rdquo; Tazza whispered. He slowed as he got closer to them; he had the note in his hand. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Tazza, Ciera is&amp;hellip; she&amp;hellip; left.&amp;rdquo; He said with tears making their way down his face again. &amp;ldquo;I know.&amp;rdquo; Tazza whispered back as she hugged Naruto tightly. &amp;ldquo;How long will she be gone for?&amp;rdquo; He sniffled. &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m not sure. -Sniffles- What&amp;rsquo;s that note?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Oh&amp;hellip; this&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; He held up the note and Tania took it from his hands. &lt;br&gt;She read it and laughed at her silent humor, &amp;ldquo;Always being a smart ass&amp;hellip; even when you&amp;rsquo;re not here.&amp;rdquo; Tania said as if Ciera was standing right there. She sniffled again. &amp;ldquo;Who is her sensei?&amp;rdquo; He asked them. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The two girls looked at each other and contemplated on whether or not they should tell Naruto that his girlfriends&amp;rsquo; teacher was a mass murder. &amp;ldquo;Her sensei is&amp;hellip; a great master of Genjutsu and Ninjutsu. I don&amp;rsquo;t think you should have anything to worry about, she&amp;rsquo;s in good hands. Trust me.&amp;rdquo; Tania said. She wasn&amp;rsquo;t lying; she just wasn&amp;rsquo;t giving a name. &amp;ldquo;Oh&amp;hellip; you&amp;rsquo;re completely sure about this?&amp;rdquo; He questioned. &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m sure that he&amp;rsquo;s legitimate.&amp;rdquo; She said with a fake smile and a sweat drop making it&amp;rsquo;s way down her face. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Does anyone else know about her gone?&amp;rdquo; Kao asked. &amp;ldquo;No, not yet.&amp;rdquo; Naruto answered looking up at the dark sky; a snow storm was on its way. The three went on to go tell their friends about Ciera&amp;rsquo;s departure and let them read the note. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Oh Naruto&amp;hellip; I&amp;rsquo;m sorry to hear that she&amp;rsquo;s gone.&amp;rdquo; Sakura said giving the sad blonde a hug as Sasuke read the letter. &lt;i&gt;&amp;ldquo;What does she mean that she&amp;rsquo;ll be seeing me soon? She knows about Orochimaru? How&amp;rdquo;&lt;/i&gt; Sasuke thought to himself as he read over the part that was meant for him. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Naruto, Kao, Tania, and Aiko traveled around the town letting Ciera&amp;rsquo;s old friends know that she had gone away. They all showed some sign of remorse toward Ciera&amp;rsquo;s departure. From Kiba, he had given Tania a necklace to give to Ciera the next time she saw her. It had a real wolf fang that his mother had taken from a wolf that she had found out in the woods, it had died of natural causes, and thought that Kiba would like it. Tania smiled and took the necklace and nodded telling him that she would give it to her as soon as she saw Ciera.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;After they had finished talking with all of her friends, Tania and Kao went to the Hokage&amp;rsquo;s office. When they walked into the room they saw Tsunade sitting at her desk working on paperwork, as always. &amp;ldquo;Lady Tsunade&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; Tazza said quietly. &amp;ldquo;Yes Tania?&amp;rdquo; She cooed back. &amp;ldquo;If Jiraiya hasn&amp;rsquo;t done so already we would like to let you know that everything went as planned. Ciera didn&amp;rsquo;t come in last night because she didn&amp;rsquo;t want to wake you.&amp;rdquo; Kao Hmong explained as they stood there before the Hokage. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tsunade sighed and nodded, &amp;ldquo;She wouldn&amp;rsquo;t have woken me. I didn&amp;rsquo;t sleep a wink last night. I can&amp;rsquo;t wrap my mind around the idea that we just gave away one of our ninja to the Akatsuki. It just ate away at me.&amp;rdquo; She said going back to her work. &amp;ldquo;But her going away wasn&amp;rsquo;t in vain! She is going to help bring down the Akatsuki from the inside! And she&amp;rsquo;ll give us inside info on them. It will make things much easier on Konoha. Don&amp;rsquo;t worry too much about her Lady Tsunade, she&amp;rsquo;s a tough girl. Plus if she gets into any real danger Itachi will be right there to keep her safe.&amp;rdquo; Tania said with enthusiasm. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;But how do we know that Itachi will protect her?&amp;rdquo; Tsunade questioned looking back up at the girls leaning back in her chair. &amp;ldquo;He&amp;rsquo;ll protect her because&amp;hellip; he loves her.&amp;rdquo; Tania said darkly with a smirk. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;~~&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera woke up that morning wrapped in the blankets on Itachi&amp;rsquo;s bed. She sat up and looked around. &amp;ldquo;Good morning sleeping beauty.&amp;rdquo; Itachi said darkly as he stood on the other side of the room. &amp;ldquo;G-good morning Itachi-sensei.&amp;rdquo; The younger of the two said sitting up all the way. &amp;ldquo;How did you sleep?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Very well, you have a very comfortable bed.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Thank you. Kisame and Deidara said the same thing.&amp;rdquo; Itachi said with a smirk. Ciera&amp;rsquo;s eyes went wide as she quickly got out of his bed. Tripping over herself she was going to the floor, but Itachi managed to get across the room and catch her before she fell. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The blonde looked up at him and gave a weak smile as he pulled her back to her feet. &amp;ldquo;T-thank you.&amp;rdquo; She said feebly. He nodded and kissed her forehead. &amp;ldquo;I promised that I would watch over you and protect you, and that&amp;rsquo;s just what I&amp;rsquo;m going to do. Right now you and my brother are the two most important things in my life.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;But why me? What did I do to you or for you to make you love me the way you do?&amp;rdquo; The demon girl questioned as she sat back down on the bed. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;When Pein sent Kisame and myself over to watch you, you know, keep an eye on you. I wanted nothing to do with you; you were just another assignment to me. Just a mission, but the more I watched you, studied you, you fascinated me. All that power, you had the caring attitude you had to the people close to you. Having the will to protect what was dear to you, even if it meant hurting yourself. I found you to be much like myself in a way. When you trained with me I knew all of what I taught you is going to help you in future fights, help you become stronger. The more I trained with you and got to know you the more I fell in love with you. I know it sounds like I&amp;rsquo;m insane and maybe I am, but I know that you and I aren&amp;rsquo;t very far apart when it comes to our priorities. I find you to be so interesting, not to mention you get along with my brother very well. In all the times I saw you two together I saw that he felt comfortable around you, safe, cared for. You didn&amp;rsquo;t make him feel like you were trying to date him like all those other girls in the village. You treated him like a person that has feelings and not like a prize to be won. That&amp;rsquo;s another thing that I liked about you. Is that a good enough explanation for myself?&amp;rdquo; Itachi said smiling sitting next to her.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Itachi&amp;hellip; I didn&amp;rsquo;t know that you felt so strongly about me. I will be nicer to you, but don&amp;rsquo;t expect the same love I gave to Naruto. I love him more than life itself.&amp;rdquo; Ciera said leaning on Itachi&amp;rsquo;s shoulder, his arm wrapped around her as he kissed her forehead again. &amp;ldquo;That&amp;rsquo;s ok&amp;hellip; come on.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Why? Where are we going?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;You&amp;rsquo;re going to give yourself to Pein and the whole Akatsuki.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;WHAT?! When were you going to tell me this?!&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;I just did.&amp;rdquo; He said calmly as he handed her some clothes, they were all black. &amp;ldquo;Ha ha.&amp;rdquo; She replied flatly. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Itachi brought her to an open room with two hands coming out of the floor and face behind them that look of that the devil himself. It was very dark in there, very dark. &amp;ldquo;Do you guys just not believe in light or something?&amp;rdquo; Ciera asked like a smart ass. &amp;ldquo;No.&amp;rdquo; Itachi said, being smart with her, smirking. &amp;ldquo;I see.&amp;rdquo; The blonde replied rolling her eyes. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As Ciera looked up she noticed that there was an Akatsuki member standing on each finger of the hands above her. She saw Deidara, Kisame, and Sasori and smiled at them. The look on their faces didn&amp;rsquo;t look promising. They each wore a face of sadness. She began to become very nervous. &amp;ldquo;Itachi&amp;hellip; w-what&amp;rsquo;s going on?&amp;rdquo; The blonde asked, her hands shaking. &amp;ldquo;It will only hurt for a minute my angel.&amp;rdquo; He said before hopping up onto an open finger. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Itachi&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; She called out weakly, her hands shaking out of her control. A blue chakra aura surrounded her. She let out a high pitch scream as pain overwhelmed her. tears welled up in her eyes. &amp;ldquo;Itachi&amp;hellip; Dei... Kisame&amp;hellip; Sasori&amp;hellip; what. Are&amp;hellip; you doing to me?&amp;rdquo; She whispered as her eyes shut, her mind going blank, all around her, darkness. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;~End of Part 1~&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Chapter 19</title><link>http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Chapter+19</link><author>FanLoveCreator</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Chapter+19</guid><pubDate>Mon, 10 Nov 2008 13:14:47 CST</pubDate><description>&lt;div class=&quot;text&quot;&gt;Fan Love 19 &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Yes, now why are you here?&amp;rdquo; The blonde asked once again. &amp;ldquo;Oh right, the Hokage wants to see you.&amp;rdquo; He said quietly.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;~~&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;T-the Hokage? Why? What did I do?&amp;rdquo; Ciera asked panicky.  &amp;ldquo;She needs to speak to you.&amp;rdquo; Jiraiya replied solemnly. &amp;ldquo;Oh ok&amp;hellip; well then come on. I&amp;rsquo;ll see you guys later then I guess.&amp;rdquo; Ciera said as she walked away. &amp;ldquo;Yah ok, bye.&amp;rdquo; Tania said quietly. As soon as Ciera and Jiraiya were far enough away Tazza said, &amp;ldquo;Come on, let&amp;rsquo;s go hide in the roof to see what&amp;rsquo;s going on.&amp;rdquo; Kao nodded and giggled. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The two ninja walked down the street, Ciera was anxious and Jiraiya knew it. &amp;ldquo;Why does she want me?&amp;rdquo; The blonde asked again. &amp;ldquo;Ok, I guess you deserve a little bit of an answer. Let&amp;rsquo;s just say, we know that you&amp;rsquo;re not just training at night.&amp;rdquo; Jiraiya said in a quite tone. &amp;ldquo;Oh.&amp;rdquo; She replied as she turned ghost white. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The two female ninja ran down the street to the Hokage&amp;rsquo;s office. &amp;ldquo;What do you think Lady Tsunade wants with her?&amp;rdquo; Kao Hmong asked Tania as they got onto the roof. &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m not sure&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; The demon lover replied as they slipped down into the vents. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jiraiya cracked open the door to Tsunade&amp;rsquo;s office and then walked in. Lady Tsunade was sitting with her back to the door; she was looking out the window. &amp;ldquo;Lady Tsunade, you wanted to see me?&amp;rdquo; Ciera said in a quiet voice, her hand trying to keep from shaking as the weight from Itachi&amp;rsquo;s necklace was becoming suddenly heavy as it hung around her neck under her shirt. &amp;ldquo;Yes, Ciera&amp;hellip; what were you out doing at two o&amp;rsquo;clock in the morning yesterday?&amp;rdquo; The Hokage said turning around, facing the nervous thirteen year old. &amp;ldquo;And don&amp;rsquo;t think about lying, I have had two ninja from ANBU watching you day and night.&amp;rdquo; The older blonde said with a small smile making it&amp;rsquo;s way across her face. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;I think we&amp;rsquo;re right above her office.&amp;rdquo; Tania whispered as they stopped in the dark and dank vents above the Hokage&amp;rsquo;s office. &lt;i&gt;&amp;ldquo;And don&amp;rsquo;t think about lying, I have had two ninja from ANBU watching you day and night.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/i&gt; Tazza and Kao heard Tsunade say and they gasped quietly. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Heh&amp;hellip; I know.&amp;rdquo; Ciera said smirking. &amp;ldquo;What? How did you know?&amp;rdquo; Lady Tsunade asked leaning over her desk. &amp;ldquo;My friends my have missed it, but I didn&amp;rsquo;t. What? Did you think that Itachi would leave out such a vital part of being a ninja?&amp;rdquo; The young blonde replied smiling, mocking them. The Hokage glared at her and looked at Jiraiya, who hadn&amp;rsquo;t taken his eyes off the ookami girl since they walked in. &amp;ldquo;How long has he been training you?&amp;rdquo; She asked. &amp;ldquo;Three weeks.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;What does he gain in training you?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Well it&amp;rsquo;s not so much what &lt;i&gt;he&lt;/i&gt; has to gain, it&amp;rsquo;s more like what he owns and why.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;What do you mean?&amp;rdquo; Tsunade asked sitting down. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera sighed, looked up at the ceiling and smiled. &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;ll tell you, but I don&amp;rsquo;t want to hide it from my comrades.&amp;rdquo;  She said quietly &amp;ldquo;Tazza, Danna, you can come out. I want you to find out in person, what I&amp;rsquo;ve done.&amp;rdquo; She said looking up at the ceiling. Tania and Kao Hmong opened up the ceiling where they were and came down slowly. &amp;ldquo;Thank you.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Now tell us what you&amp;rsquo;ve been up to.&amp;rdquo; Tazza demanded. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The blonde girl sighed and nodded. &amp;ldquo;Every night for the past few weeks, I&amp;hellip; I&amp;rsquo;ve been going out to the training grounds to train. Not alone, With Itachi. He&amp;rsquo;s been training me in my weak points, weak spots that the academy forgot to cover me on, in the short time I was there.&amp;rdquo; Ciera explained clearly. &amp;ldquo;But how did you two even meet? And how does he &lt;i&gt;own&lt;/i&gt; you?&amp;rdquo; Tsunade asked. &amp;ldquo;A friend of mine, she&amp;rsquo;s an apprentice for the Akatsuki. So if someone dies in battle, there will be another to take their place. Now, how he owns me. It happened when we were coming back home to Konoha, when Naruto had been shot down&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;ldquo;Itachi, please don&amp;rsquo;t kill him&amp;hellip;I&amp;rsquo;ll do anything! Please!&amp;rdquo; She screamed. He looked down at the desperate thirteen year old on her knees. &amp;ldquo;You are begging for him? You&amp;rsquo;re weak&amp;hellip; but from now on&amp;hellip; I own you. You will be me student, I will train you at night.&amp;rdquo; He said as the Sharingan disappeared into his eyes. She looked up at him and nodded. &amp;ldquo;Do you have any rules that I have to follow?&amp;rdquo; The blonde girl asked as she wiped the tears from her eyes. &amp;ldquo;Yes, when we are alone you will refer to me as your superior, you will not have sex with Naruto until your eighteen, and you will tell no one about this. Do I make myself clear?&amp;rdquo; she nodded again as she stood up. &amp;ldquo;Good pet.&amp;rdquo; He said as he walked off.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;&amp;hellip; You see&amp;hellip; if I hadn&amp;rsquo;t given him ownership over me I would have lost Naruto, and I couldn&amp;rsquo;t forgive myself if I had lost Naruto over something as silly as a life.&amp;rdquo; The blonde said quietly. &amp;ldquo;Talk about giving your life for someone.&amp;rdquo; Tania said with a slight sarcasm to her voice. &amp;ldquo;Yah no kidding, but that&amp;rsquo;s not all he gains, is it Ciera? What else happens between you two and the rest of the Akatsuki?&amp;rdquo; The Hokage asked looking at Ciera once again. &amp;ldquo;You&amp;rsquo;re right. That&amp;rsquo;s not all he&amp;rsquo;s going to get. I&amp;rsquo;m now an Akatsuki apprentice. Not only do I work under Itachi&amp;rsquo;s control, but I am also at the command of Pain, that Akatsuki leader. And the relationship between Itachi and I gets a little more romantic, but I won&amp;rsquo;t go into details.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;So it seems you know a lot about the Akatsuki.&amp;rdquo; Jiraiya said breaking his silence. &amp;ldquo;Are there any other strings holding you? Like a contract besides the one you hold with Itachi?&amp;rdquo; He asked. &amp;ldquo;Yes, say Pain dies in battle. I am to take his place in such instance. I&amp;rsquo;m not sure why he picked me to take his place, me being a Jinchuuriki and all, but maybe that&amp;rsquo;s why he picked me. Because of the raw power that the wolf holds inside me.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Jiraiya, maybe we could work this into our favor.&amp;rdquo; Tsunade said looking over at the white haired man. &amp;ldquo;Yah, hey Ciera.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Yes?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Have you ever thought about taking out the Akatsuki instead of leading them?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Yah I have, why? Do you have something in mind?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;How would you like to single handedly take out the whole Akatsuki. Konoha will help as much as we can, but you will be also on the target list. No one must know of the double cross, because if anyone else knows then there will be a chance that the information will get back to the Akatsuki and you&amp;rsquo;ll be killed. I don&amp;rsquo;t think that you want to be killed. Heh.&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Yah I like living, but&amp;hellip; now we come to our next road block. I&amp;rsquo;m supposed to leave the village for the land of snow in two days. I&amp;rsquo;ve been lying to everyone saying that I&amp;rsquo;m going back to school; well maybe I will be for a few days, so that I wouldn&amp;rsquo;t start any trouble in the village.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;That was smart, ok here&amp;rsquo;s what I want you to do. Go. Go with him and train, become a better ninja. Learn the secrets of the Akatsuki; I want you to know everything they&amp;rsquo;re planning to help the hidden leaf and many other villages to stop the Akatsuki.&amp;rdquo; Tsunade explained to the girl, now standing. &amp;ldquo;Tania, Kao, I want you two to keep quiet about this whole thing, got it?&amp;rdquo; She said now looking at the girls. &amp;ldquo;But we want to be able to help Ciera in a time of need, if we are to be needed, we&amp;rsquo;ll do what ever we can to help her!&amp;rdquo; Tazza replied, concerned for her friend.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Ok, let me see. You two, I&amp;rsquo;m going to have to test you then, because the only way that you can even come near Ciera often is if you&amp;rsquo;re in ANBU. So you two need to train harder and work on chakra control. Do you understand?&amp;rdquo; Tsunade asked, both girls nodded. &amp;ldquo;Ciera, before you leave, I want you to come to my office I would like to run things over with you before you go. Ciera nodded. &amp;ldquo;You three can go now.&amp;rdquo; The eldest blonde said.  The three bowed and walked out. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;What has that girl gotten herself into?&amp;rdquo; Tsunade asked Jiraiya, not looking for an answer. &amp;ldquo;To be honest, I think this is going to work. In the time that I&amp;rsquo;ve been watching the girls, the time that they&amp;rsquo;ve lived here, and on the few missions you put them through, she&amp;rsquo;s always been about her friends. Anything she can do to keep them and the village safe, she&amp;rsquo;ll do it. I total faith that this plan will work and that the Akatsuki will be taken out in a matter of a few years.&amp;rdquo; Jiraiya said with a small smile on his face. &amp;ldquo;I hope you&amp;rsquo;re right&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To be continued&amp;hellip; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Chapter 18</title><link>http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Chapter+18</link><author>FanLoveCreator</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Chapter+18</guid><pubDate>Mon, 10 Nov 2008 13:12:43 CST</pubDate><description>&lt;div class=&quot;text&quot;&gt;As she lifted it up it turned into smoke. &amp;quot;Damn it! She used a shadow clone! Damn her. Ciera where are you!&amp;quot; Tania shouted into the trees. &amp;quot;Right behind you.&amp;quot; Ciera replied calmly from behind Tania and Kao Hmong with a kunai up to their necks. Tazza looked to Aiko for help, but the fox was tied up with chakra infused rope. &amp;quot;How the hell did she do that?!&amp;quot; Tania asked herself now panicked. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;~~&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera giggled as her friends were freaked out by the second. &amp;quot;What&amp;#39;s wrong? You scared?&amp;quot; Ciera whispered into her friends ears. &amp;quot;H-how did you do this? We had you!&amp;quot; Tania yelled in frustration. &amp;quot;No you thought you had me... when I separated from Kao I made a shadow clone and two fell for it when I went out into the field, and made things better because of what I did this morning. So you have now been &lt;i&gt;brain ninja-ed&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;quot; Ciera said laughing slightly. &amp;quot;But... that still doesn&amp;#39;t explain how you got that chakra rope.&amp;quot; Tazza said looking at the fox in the snow. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Hm.&amp;quot; Ciera murmured as she looked to the fox as well. &amp;quot;Chakra rope. It&amp;#39;s not that hard to find Hun.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Well, then... could you please let us go then?&amp;quot; Tania asked with a slight smile. The blonde smirked at her friend and took the kunai away from their necks, as the shadow clone untied Akio. &amp;quot;Hey Ciera.&amp;quot; The eldest of the three said quietly. &amp;quot;Yes Tazza?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;What happened last night?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;What do you mean!? What happened last night!?&amp;quot; The Uchiha lover said concerned. &amp;quot;Um yah last night... you and Gaara were under a simple Genjutsu. What you saw was just an illusion.&amp;quot; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;Genjutsu?! How can she use that?! This is getting to weird...&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt; Tania thought to herself staring at Ciera as she rubbed her wrists. &amp;quot;Where did you learn that Genjutsu?&amp;quot; Kao asked quietly. &amp;quot;Yah...&amp;quot; Tazza remarked with a slight snap. &amp;quot;Heh... I was taught by a Genjutsu master. In my eyes he is.&amp;quot; Ciera replied with a small smile. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tania and Kao raised an eyebrow as they looked at her. &amp;quot;What?&amp;quot; The blonde snapped. &amp;quot;Nothing.&amp;quot; Tazza said flatly. &amp;ldquo;You two are acting very strange today.&amp;rdquo; Ciera said quietly as she picked up the chakra rope. &amp;ldquo;We&amp;rsquo;re acting weird!? Ciera you go out late at night and train, you&amp;rsquo;ve been very quiet and secluded and we&amp;rsquo;re the ones acting weird?!&amp;rdquo; Tania yelled, being frustrated with the fact that she was calling them weird. Ciera stopped and looked at them a slight glare in her eyes. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;We&amp;rsquo;re just worried about you Ciera&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; Kao Hmong said quietly hugging her arm. Ciera looked down at the smaller of them and hugged her back. &amp;ldquo;I know, I promise you guys that I won&amp;rsquo;t be like this for much longer ok. I will be&amp;hellip; better, soon.&amp;rdquo; The blonde said as she stroked the raven haired girls&amp;rsquo; hair. &amp;ldquo;Promise?&amp;rdquo; Tazza said quietly walking up to Ciera. Kao let go and stood to the side. &amp;ldquo;I promise, you guys I promise you that things will get better ok.&amp;rdquo; The wolf girl said with a small smile. They nodded and they began to walk off the training grounds.   &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As they walked off the training grounds, they heard a noise from the trees above. The three got into a defensive position, their backs together holding a kunai out. &amp;ldquo;Did you hear where it came from?&amp;rdquo; Kao whispered quietly. &amp;ldquo;It came from up in the trees.&amp;rdquo; Tania replied glancing up. Another rustle, &amp;ldquo;Show yourself!&amp;rdquo; Ciera yelled up to the trees. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Up from the trees came Jiraiya smiling big. &amp;ldquo;Pervy sage?!&amp;rdquo; Ciera said a little too loudly. &amp;ldquo;You&amp;rsquo;re picking up on Naruto&amp;rsquo;s bad habits aren&amp;rsquo;t you?&amp;rdquo; The eldest ninja said with a sigh. &amp;ldquo;Oh sorry master Jiraiya, but what do you want? You not spying on us training are you? Seeing a bunch of hot, sweaty girls training&amp;hellip; are you?&amp;rdquo; Ciera said with a smirk.  &amp;ldquo;God, you can very descriptive can&amp;rsquo;t you?&amp;rdquo; He said with a small blush, some blood dripping down from his nose. &amp;ldquo;Yes, now why are you here?&amp;rdquo; The blonde asked once again. &amp;ldquo;Oh right, the Hokage wants to see you.&amp;rdquo; He said quietly. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To be continued&amp;hellip;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Chapter 17</title><link>http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Chapter+17</link><author>FanLoveCreator</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Chapter+17</guid><pubDate>Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:43:37 CDT</pubDate><description>&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;  Fan Love 17&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;  The next morning the sun shone through the glass window making the room glow. Naruto sat up and rubbed his eyes as he glanced around the room, he noticed Ciera was gone and her pajamas were folded up at the end of the bed. There was a note on his nightstand. He saw the note and flipped it open, it read &lt;i&gt;&amp;lsquo;Morning, I hope I didn&amp;rsquo;t wake you. Come out to the kitchen! I wanna show you something!&amp;rsquo;&lt;/i&gt; He read quietly to himself.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Naruto got up from his bed and did as he was told. He walked out into the kitchen to see Ciera wide awake and a fan in front of her. The blonde fox walked over to the table quietly and looked at the fan. &amp;quot;You wanted to show me a fan?&amp;quot; Naruto questioned as he sat down. &amp;quot;Yes, but this isn&amp;rsquo;t an ordinary fan&amp;hellip;&amp;quot; Ciera explained as she picked it up. &amp;quot;What&amp;rsquo;s so special about it?&amp;quot; He questioned giving it a funny look. &amp;quot;Well&amp;hellip; I made it so that in the spine of the fan are thirty needles and each of those needles are covered in a poison that will stun you. Not kill. I spent all morning on it.&amp;quot; Ciera explained as she flipped the fan around in her hand. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Naruto gave her a look, questioning whether or not what she had told him was true or not. It didn&amp;rsquo;t look different from any other fan he had seen. &amp;quot;Are you pulling my leg or something?&amp;quot; Naruto asked doubtfully. &amp;quot;Are you always this skeptical in the morning?&amp;quot; Ciera asked standing up and heading toward the door. &amp;quot;Where&amp;rsquo;re you going?&amp;quot; The groggy boy asked standing as well. &amp;quot;I&amp;rsquo;m going to train with Tazza, is that ok?&amp;quot; The snippy wolf container said turning around smiling. &amp;quot;What if I say no&amp;hellip;&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Then Tazza will get mad that I ditched her to snuggle all morning&amp;hellip; speaking of which weren&amp;rsquo;t you supposed to meet the rest of your team this morning?&amp;quot; Ciera asked heading out the door, she quietly shut the door behind her.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Naruto looked at the door and mocked her. He glanced at the clock because he &lt;i&gt;did&lt;/i&gt; have to meet his team that morning. &amp;quot;Damn it, I&amp;rsquo;m late!&amp;quot; Naruto yelled as he ran to room to get dressed. The young Nin got dressed in three minutes flat and raced out the door. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera was casually walking down the snow covered streets of the hidden leaf village. A slight breeze made a few strands of hair blow onto her face, she brushed them away. &lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;That&amp;rsquo;s very strange that would be snow here, I don&amp;rsquo;t think it&amp;rsquo;s normal for it to snow here.&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt; Ciera thought to herself as she bent over and picked some of the ice in her hand and balled it up in her hand. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The blonde turned around when she heard someone walking behind her, it was Kao. &amp;quot;Hey Danna!&amp;quot; Ciera said with a smile and waved. &amp;quot;Hey Ciera!&amp;quot; The black haired girl said walking over to her friend. &amp;quot;Whatchya doing?&amp;quot; Kao asked as they walked. &amp;quot;Going to go train with Tazza, wanna come?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Yah!&amp;quot; She responded with a slight grin. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The wolf dropped the snow in her hand and stopped, her fists clenched into tight balls. Kao turned around to see her friend fallen in the snow, her knees getting wet from her body heat melting the snow. &amp;quot;Ciera what&amp;rsquo;s wrong?&amp;quot; Ciera&amp;rsquo;s Danna asked running over to her friend&amp;rsquo;s side. Ciera just shook her head. &amp;quot;Wow&amp;hellip; I&amp;rsquo;ve never seen you cry before.&amp;quot; Kao said as Ciera stood up, wiped the tears from her eyes and kept walking. &amp;quot;Ok?&amp;quot; The black haired Nin said standing up and running after Ciera. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;What the hell was that?&amp;quot; She asked as she caught up with Ciera. &amp;quot;A moment of helplessness, I&amp;rsquo;ll be fine!&amp;quot; Ciera snapped as they walked. Kao Hmong just gave her a look and they remained silent until they reached the training grounds. As they walked into the training grounds they saw Tania&amp;rsquo;s bag on the ground next to a tree. &amp;quot;She&amp;rsquo;s here already&amp;hellip; be on your toes.&amp;quot; Ciera told Kao as they cautiously walked along a snow covered path. The raven locked girl nodded in response. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The two girls split up hopping through the trees. Ciera stopped and looked down at the white colored clearing, before jumping down into it. She quietly sat in the snow, her two teammates looked at her in shock as their friend just sat there waiting to be struck down. So they did, four kunai came flying at the blonde. They hit her in the back, she fell into the snow. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Her blood splattered across the white background, her eyes looking out in a haze as more blood spilled from her open wounds. Her body was becoming cold as the red liquid flowed out of her. Ciera gave a smile as she kept the wolf from healing the injuries. She watched the blood spill out of her mouth and watched how it made the snow around her melt. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kao and Tania met up in the trees. &amp;quot;What the hell is she doing?!&amp;quot; Tazza asked scared that her friend was committing suicide during training. &amp;quot;I don&amp;rsquo;t know&amp;hellip; this morning she fell into the snow and started to cry for no apparent reason! Maybe we should talk to her before she passes out for blood loss.&amp;quot; The raven haired girl replied quietly looking down at Ciera. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera&amp;#39;s comrades jumped down and stood next to Ciera&amp;#39;s half dead body in the snow. Aiko came down and sniffed Ciera; she glanced up and nodded at Tania as a sign that she was still conscious. &amp;quot;Ok Ciera... what the hell are you doing?&amp;quot; Tazza asked looking down at the blonde face down in the snow. &amp;quot;Hello?&amp;quot; She asked again bending over and lifting Ciera up in the snow. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As she lifted it up it turned into smoke. &amp;quot;Damn it! She used a shadow clone! Damn her. Ciera where are you!&amp;quot; Tania shouted into the trees. &amp;quot;Right behind you.&amp;quot; Ciera replied calmly from behind Tania and Kao Hmong with a kunai up to their necks. Tazza looked to Aiko for help, but the fox was tied up with chakra infused rope. &lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;How the hell did she do that?!&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt; Tania asked herself now panicked. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To be continued... &lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Chapter 16</title><link>http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Chapter+16</link><author>FanLoveCreator</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Chapter+16</guid><pubDate>Thu, 10 Jul 2008 14:17:32 CDT</pubDate><description>&amp;ldquo;Aiko! Get back here!&amp;rdquo; Tania yelled. &amp;ldquo;Tania what the hell is going on?!&amp;rdquo; Gaara asked looking intently at his girlfriend. Naruto was at a loss for words. &amp;ldquo;To be honest I have no clue what&amp;rsquo;s going on&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Aiko stepped out in front of the ookami in front of her. &amp;ldquo;Aiko get over her now!&amp;rdquo; Tania yelled. The two animals looked back at her then back to each other. &amp;ldquo;Relax Tazza; I&amp;rsquo;m not going to hurt Aiko.&amp;rdquo; The akuma said keeping her eye locked on Aiko&amp;rsquo;s. &amp;ldquo;It&amp;rsquo;s been a while, Aiko Amaya.&amp;rdquo; The black ookami said to the white kitsune. &amp;ldquo;Yah, a while indeed.&amp;rdquo; Aiko replied in a quiet voice. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tania took a few steps toward the snow colored fox. &amp;ldquo;Aiko&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; The confused girl said taking a few more steps toward her fox. When Tazza reached her hand out it was shocked by the shield that surrounded the two, the shock sent her flying back into Gaara&amp;rsquo;s arms. &amp;ldquo;You ok?&amp;rdquo; Gaara asked clutching onto her. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m sorry Tania, but I can&amp;rsquo;t let you interfere. I&amp;rsquo;m finished talking to you Aiko for now... Uzumaki Naruto come over here&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; The Bijuu said taking her gaze from Aiko to the fox boy. He nodded and walked over to the ookami. Aiko walked away from the Bijuu and made way for Naruto. The blonde boy stood in front of her with wide eyes. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Don&amp;rsquo;t be afraid Naruto-kun&amp;hellip; all I need you to do is sit down and concentrate&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; The demon said looking up at Naruto, he nodded and sat down. &amp;ldquo;&amp;hellip; now listen closely&amp;hellip; I need you to focus all you energy to Kyuubi-sama&amp;hellip; do you understand?&amp;rdquo; Ciera&amp;rsquo;s wolf asked in an almost inaudible voice. Naruto nodded and closed his eyes. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Tania, Aiko, and Gaara&amp;hellip; don&amp;rsquo;t be afraid, or try any attacks, or else you will be killed&amp;hellip; this is nothing that you three should be concerning yourselves with.&amp;rdquo; The wolf said as she watched a red-orange chakra glow around Naruto&amp;rsquo;s body.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;This is completely normal for this to happen during a full moon; no harm will come to either of them. All the akuma wants is a meeting with the Kyuubi because Naruto and Ciera have &amp;lsquo;chosen&amp;rsquo; each other.&amp;rdquo; Aiko explained to the two very confused teenagers. &amp;ldquo;What do you mean &amp;lsquo;chosen&amp;rsquo; each other? And how the hell are you talking?!&amp;rdquo; Tania replied looking intently at Aiko. &amp;ldquo;Heh&amp;hellip; I mean since they are together, you know in love, want to spend forever with each other. For that such reason their Bijuu want to get to know one another before they spend the rest of their lives together. And don&amp;rsquo;t get used to me talking&amp;hellip; this is the work of Ciera&amp;rsquo;s demon&amp;hellip; she gave me this ability so that I could explain all this to you and it will only last just for tonight or until they are done with they are doing. This is also the reason why when I first came here I went straight to her, during those moments she gave me this power and the knowledge as to what they are doing. No need to worry.&amp;rdquo; The kitsune assured. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By the time Aiko had finished explaining Naruto&amp;rsquo;s Bijuu had taken over his body fully. It had also kept itself small, the same size of the ookami. The two akuma stared at each other dead on. Then they circled each other not taking their eyes off the other. Then they stopped, the ookami laid down in the snow. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;What&amp;rsquo;s she doing?&amp;rdquo; Tania asked looking at Aiko. &amp;ldquo;She&amp;rsquo;s surrendering to him&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Why?&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;Because&amp;hellip; she wants him to know that she means him no harm to Naruto.&amp;rdquo; The kitsune explained again. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then the Kyuubi laid down in the snow as well. &amp;ldquo;Now he is showing that he will do no harm to Ciera&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; The snow colored fox said. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The two demons then stood up and walked up to one another, they let their noses touch. As they touched a black aura formed around them, it soon encased the two in a black ball. No one could see inside the chakra orb. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Aiko, what&amp;rsquo;s going on?!&amp;rdquo; Tazza asked shielding her eyes from the bright light. &amp;ldquo;They&amp;rsquo;re transforming back to their container form&amp;hellip; they&amp;rsquo;ll be ok.&amp;rdquo; The three tailed fox told the two. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Inside the chakra orb the two Jinchuuriki were being turned back into their normal state. When they had finished their transformation they walked up to each other. Naruto reached his hand up to Ciera&amp;rsquo;s face and lightly cradled it in his hand, she did the same. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As the chakra around them dissipated, they fell to their knees, exhausted from all the chakra use. Then the forest became quiet as they just sat there in the snow. The two containers looked up at each other and smiled weakly. &amp;ldquo;I love you&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; The blonde boy whispered to the wolf girl as he pulled her into a hug. &amp;ldquo;I love you too.&amp;rdquo; She whispered back nuzzling her face into his jacket. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;So why the hell did we even come if they were just gonna do this?!&amp;rdquo; Gaara asked irritated with what he had just watched. &amp;ldquo;Because I need to know everything about Ciera&amp;rsquo;s ookami and this is kinda important, oh yah hey Aiko can you talk still?&amp;rdquo; Tazza asked looking at the kitsune. She solemnly shook her head. &amp;ldquo;Maybe we should leave these two alone.&amp;rdquo; The black haired girl said pulling on Gaara&amp;rsquo;s shirt. Gaara, Tania and Aiko walked off leaving Naruto and Ciera in the snow white forest, Naruto still clutching onto Ciera. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera pulled away from Naruto&amp;rsquo;s body and smiled slightly. &amp;ldquo;Come on let&amp;rsquo;s go home.&amp;rdquo; Ciera said standing up and holding a hand out for Naruto. He looked up at her with his signature grin and grabbed onto her hand. She pulled him through the forest, the two Nin were laughing from the whole experience. They made their way through the city as snow began to fall again.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;After a half hour of running they made back to his apartment. She walked carefully in to the house trying not to make a sound; Naruto smiled and crept over behind her. He got another flying leap and pushed both of them onto his bed. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Naruto!&amp;rdquo; Ciera yelled laughing hysterically. Naruto&amp;rsquo;s only response was a light kiss on her lips, before getting up and taking off his jacket. Confused Ciera stood up and did the same; she quietly changed into her pajamas and flopped onto Naruto&amp;rsquo;s bed. Naruto glanced at her hungrily, noticing this Ciera smiled and waited for him to do something sneaky again.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He did, Naruto tip-toed his way over to his bed and fell on top of her, knocking the wind out of her. &amp;ldquo;Naruto&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; She gasped. The blonde boy only groaned in response as he nuzzled her. The wolf container gave a small frown and grabbed a hold of his head, pulling his face up to hers. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;What the hell do you think you&amp;rsquo;re doing you little perv? My akuma accepted yours, that doesn&amp;rsquo;t mean you get free range.&amp;rdquo; Ciera said smirking, he gave a slight pout. &amp;ldquo;But uhh&amp;hellip; Kyuubi-sama wanted to get your sent so if you ever get lost or I need to find you.&amp;rdquo; He explained nuzzling his face into her neck. &amp;ldquo;Even though I think that is a load of crap&amp;hellip; I guess I am gonna have to get used to you doing this, huh?&amp;rdquo; The blonde girl said running her fingers through his bright blonde hair. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Naruto finished his fun and rolled over, Ciera propped herself up with her arm and looked at him. &lt;i&gt;&amp;lsquo;Wow&amp;hellip; he&amp;rsquo;s been through so much&amp;hellip; poor thing&amp;hellip;&amp;rsquo; &lt;/i&gt;Ciera thought to herself as she looked at him intently. Her hand lightly stroked the side of his as she gently laid her head down on his chest and fell into the best sleep she had had since she met Naruto.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Gaara and Tania walked down the now quiet and deserted streets of the hidden leaf village. Their feet crunching in the snow as their hands were locked with one another. Tazza blushed at the thought of their kiss. Gaara glanced at her and saw her blush, he smiled to himself. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They had reached her apartment and he walked her up to the door. She let go of his hand as she unlocked the door. As she walked inside the door Gaara grabbed a hold of her wrist and pulled her into a deep kiss. The sand Nin wrapped his arm around her back holding her close to him. When they finished Tania had a deep red blush across her face. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;ldquo;Good night.&amp;rdquo; Gaara said as he walked off. Tazza ran her fingers through her hair trying to grasp what Gaara had done. &amp;ldquo;Uh&amp;hellip; yah night!&amp;rdquo; The young confused girl said giving a small wave before walking into her house. When she shut the door she leaned up against her door and let out a sigh. &amp;ldquo;Best night ever&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To be continued&amp;hellip; &lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Chapter 5</title><link>http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Chapter+5</link><author>FanLoveCreator</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Chapter+5</guid><pubDate>Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:46:07 CDT</pubDate><description>&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;f&quot;&gt;  &lt;tbody&gt;  &lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td class=&quot;f&quot;&gt;  &lt;div class=&quot;text&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;  People: &lt;br&gt;Aang&lt;br&gt;Katara&lt;br&gt;Toph&lt;br&gt;Sokka&lt;br&gt;Kiba&lt;br&gt;Naruto&lt;br&gt;Sasuke&lt;br&gt;Sakura&lt;br&gt;Kaohmong &lt;br&gt;Judy &lt;br&gt;Ciera&lt;br&gt;Gabby&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Setting: &lt;br&gt;Ok well we left off when the Gaang, Ciera, Gabby, &amp;amp; Naruto had just gotten to where Kaohmong and Sasuke were but thing is, they weren&amp;#39;t there anymore...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Oh my god! Where are they! This is not good, this is not good!&lt;br&gt;Aang: Relax, we&amp;#39;ll find them *Gives a warm smile*&lt;br&gt;Ciera: That is not what I am worried about&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;Naruto: Yah we&amp;#39;ll find them baby&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;*Ciera rolls her eyes*&lt;br&gt;Aang: WHAT DID YOU CALL HER!?&lt;br&gt;Naruto: you herd me I called her &lt;i&gt;BABY&lt;/i&gt;... you got a problem with it!?&lt;br&gt;Aang: YAH I DO!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Watching the boys fight...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Katara: Ciera, why dose Aang care so much?&lt;br&gt;Ciera: I have no idea *knowing full well why*&lt;br&gt;Gabby: Yah Ciera, why dose he care so much?&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Look, I&amp;#39;ll tell you later&lt;br&gt;Gabby: You better!&lt;br&gt;Sokka: I know that he kind of had crush on you but I did not know he cared this much...&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Yah *laughs nervously*&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Goes back to Aang and Naruto fighting... &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Aang: I have had enough of this!!&lt;br&gt;Naruto: Fine let&amp;rsquo;s fight it out &lt;br&gt;Aang: Fair enough! *goes into avatar state*&lt;br&gt;Naruto: Damn it! *Releases the Kyuubi* &lt;br&gt;Ciera: GABBY GET OUT OF HERE, TAKE SOKKA AND TOPH WITH YOU!&lt;br&gt;Gabby: WHY??&lt;br&gt;Ciera: JUST DO IT!&lt;br&gt;Gabby: *runs away with Sokka and Toph* &lt;br&gt;Katara: WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?!&lt;br&gt;Ciera: JUST TRY TO CALM HIM DOWN!&lt;br&gt;Katara: *nods* &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera ran over to Naruto, keeping in mind that he is in a very unstable state&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Naruto please&amp;hellip; we have other things to do and this is not what I had in mind&amp;hellip; I don&amp;rsquo;t love Aang as much as I used to anymore&amp;hellip; I love you!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;She gasped at what she had just said. Naruto smiled as the chakra around his body slowly dissipated. He fell to his knees and Ciera ran over to him&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Are you ok?&lt;br&gt;Naruto: Yah I&amp;rsquo;m fine &lt;i&gt;now&lt;/i&gt;&amp;hellip; *Blushes deep red*&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Good&amp;hellip; *Thoughts* &lt;i&gt;that was much easier than I expected&amp;hellip; I thought I might have had to wolf on his ass&amp;hellip; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera looked over at Katara and Aang; her efforts as to bringing out of the avatar state were futile. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera: *Thoughts* &lt;i&gt;god damn it! I thought I could trust her to do this, but apparently I was wrong! &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera walked over to Aang, the air around him blowing her hair wildly around her face. Her eyes lightly shut as she became lost in deep thought. She knew what she had to do, but after what she had just told Naruto she didn&amp;rsquo;t know if she could do it. Not to mention Katara, she loved him much more then anyone there. She made up her mind. She took her glider and flew up to her enraged friend. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera: *Whispering* Naruto, Katara, I&amp;rsquo;m sorry.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera said before latching onto Aang&amp;rsquo;s body and kissing him lightly on the lips. Tears streamed down her face as the betrayal ate at her. Aang then slowly started to come out of the avatar state. Katara standing there shocked and confused pulled out her water sack and let loose, Gabby trying to hold her back, but did not succeed. Katara got into position all she needed was one shot... and she got it. She had let out all of her fury in that one blow and she had cut open Ciera&amp;rsquo;s back and had knocked her out. By that time Aang completely come out of the avatar state. He sat there holding her almost lifeless body and wanted to explode... but he had done enough of that for one day. Katara afraid and not fully aware of what she had done... she ran. Noticing this gabby ran after her into the woods. Toph, Sokka, &amp;amp; Naruto walk over to where Aang was holding Ciera in his arms&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Toph: She&amp;#39;s not dead&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;Aang: *Wiping the tears from his eyes* what?&lt;br&gt;Toph: There is something in her that needs to heal&amp;hellip; what is that thing? She feels the same way you did when Azula shot you down... she&amp;rsquo;s not dead&amp;hellip; but she&amp;rsquo;s not alive&amp;hellip; but if Katara was here with some of her spirit water she could bring her back... &lt;br&gt;Aang: Oh no...&lt;br&gt;Naruto: So what dose all this mean??&lt;br&gt;Aang: it means we have to stay here for the night, wait for gabby and Katara to come back...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Running through the woods gabby had finally caught up to Katara and brought her down.....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Gabby: WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?!?!?&lt;br&gt;Katara: * starting to sob* I don&amp;#39;t know... I was upset and confused...&lt;br&gt;Gabby: Well had better get to camp &lt;br&gt;Katara: What?&lt;br&gt;Gabby: Well I can imagine that we will be camping out there for the night&lt;br&gt;Katara: Oh &lt;br&gt;Gabby: Come on let&amp;rsquo;s go&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;Katara: *nods* &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Back at camp Sokka and Toph had wrapped up Ciera to stop the bleeding and Naruto went out to go find some food and fire wood. Aang just sat outside the tent and meditated trying to think about how to fix all of this, but no luck. So he came out of it... &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Toph: Hey, if you want to see her you should do it before Katara and gabby get back &lt;br&gt;Aang: *nods* ok &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Aang walked into the tent and saw her lying there... not moving... it made his skin crawl. Then he heard Toph say that she felt Gabby and Katara coming. As he walked out of the tent he felt sick, but he needed to talk to Katara...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Gabby: Aangy I&amp;#39;m home!!&lt;br&gt;Aang: Where is she?&lt;br&gt;Gabby: Someone knows how to kill a moment!&lt;br&gt;Aang: *gives gabby a glare*&lt;br&gt;Gabby: Sorry, god!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Gabby nods and steps out of the way to show Katara, the girl who had knocked out the girl he had liked or maybe even loved, but to also to see the girl he had loved since he laid eyes on her. He was so confused and twisted on the inside, but for Ciera&amp;rsquo;s sake he needed Katara&amp;rsquo;s help. As Katara walked up to him he felt sick, but he just kept thinking of the person who had showed him how to live like a normal person and showed him how much she had cared...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Katara: Aang I&amp;#39;m sorry *and gave him a hug*&lt;br&gt;Aang: I know&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He hugged her back and they sank to their knees...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Aang: You know what you have to do &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Katara nodded, got up and walked into the tent. Time passed and they had herd nothing, Naruto had come back to camp with the food and fire wood. Aang was not hungry and seeing Naruto around did not make things better. Then after the sun went down Katara had finally come out... &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Aang &amp;amp; Naruto: WELL?!?!&lt;br&gt;Katara: She is ok, but she needs to heal but she should be ok to fight in a day or two&lt;br&gt;Naruto: Can we see her???&lt;br&gt;Katara: Yah, she&amp;#39;s awake&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;Aang: Good&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As Aang and Naruto walk into the tent they see Ciera barely awake...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Naruto go get my staff&lt;br&gt;Naruto: Why?&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Naruto please, just go get it&lt;br&gt;Naruto: Ok *walks out of the tent*&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Aang... *cringes with pain* &lt;br&gt;Aang: Yah &lt;br&gt;Ciera: I&amp;#39;m sorry&lt;br&gt;Aang: For what?&lt;br&gt;Ciera: For everything... for messing up your relationship with Katara and kissing you &lt;br&gt;*Naruto walks into tent with Ciera&amp;rsquo;s staff*&lt;br&gt;Naruto: Here&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Thanks&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;Aang: Do you think that you will well enough to fight?&lt;br&gt;Ciera: I-&lt;br&gt;Toph: WERE BEING AMBUSHED!&lt;br&gt;Ciera: CRAP! AANG NARUTO GO HELP, NOW!!! And boys, try not beat on each other! *Gives a small smile*&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The boys ran out of the tent to leave Ciera and go fight. Ciera was still hurt&amp;hellip; but well enough to fight, so when they were being ambushed she was almost ready to fight she needed to pull herself up and she was ready. Ciera ran outside of her tent with staff in hand to see the people they were fighting was Kaohmong and Sasuke...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera: HOLD YOUR FIRE!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Everyone stopped at that moment... the silence was unbearable. During that moment of silence Ciera exchanged glances with Kaohmong, knowing at any moment that Kaohmong could let loose at any moment. Then out of nowhere Judy and Kiba stumble out of the woods. Kaohmong looked over at Judy and Kiba then Ciera. Then Ciera knew what Kaohmong was going to do&amp;hellip; and within a split second Kaohmong grabbed Sasuke&amp;rsquo;s knife and through it at Judy, but Ciera ran in front of the knife and blocked it. Ciera turned around to see if Judy was ok, but as Ciera turned around she caught Judy in her arms to see Sakura&amp;#39;s knife in Judy&amp;rsquo;s back... dead on the spot... she didn&amp;rsquo;t even have time to scream. Ciera saw Sakura standing there&amp;hellip; no expression on her face. Katara ran over to try and heal her...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Don&amp;#39;t bother, she&amp;#39;s dead&lt;br&gt;Katara: I still have to try! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Judy&amp;rsquo;s blood soaked Ciera&amp;rsquo;s arms and bandages. Naruto and Sasuke held Kaohmong while Sokka and Aang held Sakura. The feeling of seeing Judy&amp;hellip; dead&amp;hellip; it seemed unreal. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Toph: So what now what?&lt;br&gt;Ciera: I &amp;ndash; I don&amp;rsquo;t know *tears welling in eyes*&lt;br&gt;Sokka: She&amp;rsquo;s getting away!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera grabbed her staff and ran after Sakura, sheer anger fueling her, Kaohmong had gotten away also and started following close behind. In Ciera&amp;rsquo;s mind she kept forcing her self to keep going while her body wanted to stop, but she pressed on. The constant feeling that Kaohmong could kill her at any moment gave her chills, but it looked like she was helping her so she was a bit calmer, but that was one thing of a very long list of things that were making her stressed. Back at the camp everyone was so confused&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Toph: So what just happened? &lt;br&gt;Aang: I&amp;rsquo;m not sure &lt;br&gt;Naruto: I can&amp;rsquo;t believe she killed her &lt;br&gt;Everyone: Yah &lt;br&gt;Katara: *walks back from checking Judy&amp;rsquo;s dead body* yep she&amp;rsquo;s dead alright, but what I don&amp;rsquo;t understand is that why would Sakura want Judy dead?&lt;br&gt;Sokka: Yah, from what Ciera said you would think that she would want Kaohmong dead &lt;br&gt;Katara: Yah, strange&amp;hellip; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Back in the woods, still in pursuit, Sakura started to slow down. Ciera saw her window of opportunity&amp;hellip; so she used it&amp;hellip; she sent the knife that had killed Judy, at Sakura&amp;hellip; the knife stabbed Sakura in the shoulder just knocking her out. Ciera and Kaohmong picked up Sakura and took her back to camp&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Katara: Thank goodness your back &lt;br&gt;Aang: Yah I thought I had lost you again&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Thanks, but I am not the one you should be worried about &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;She shows Katara Sakura&amp;rsquo;s back and Ciera pulled the knife out of her back and wiped off the blood, after she had taken the knife out Katara started to heal her. Ciera sat down in her meditating position and started to meditate&amp;hellip; she thought about Aang and Katara and how she really felt about Aang and Naruto&amp;hellip; She thought about Judy and how she was dead and what she could have done to save her&amp;hellip; then she felt someone shaking her, it was Gabby&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Gabby: Ciera please come out of it!&lt;br&gt;Ciera: What!?!? What&amp;rsquo;s the problem?&lt;br&gt;Gabby: It&amp;rsquo;s Naruto &lt;br&gt;Ciera: What about him?&lt;br&gt;Gabby: He&amp;rsquo;s gone &lt;br&gt;Ciera: Crap! What is wrong with him, what did he say before he left?&lt;br&gt;Gabby: Nothing, he just said that he was going to go get some more firewood, and then he just left &lt;br&gt;Ciera: I have to go find him &lt;br&gt;Gabby: I&amp;rsquo;ll go with you&lt;br&gt;Ciera: NO&amp;hellip; no, I have to go find him and go talk to him ok *looks around tent* where is my glider? &lt;br&gt;Gabby: I thought you left it in here &lt;br&gt;Ciera: I did&amp;hellip; oh my god&amp;hellip; Naruto took my glider, *sighs* ok well now I really have to go find him &lt;br&gt;Gabby: Are sure you don&amp;rsquo;t want anyone to go with you &lt;br&gt;Ciera: Yah I&amp;rsquo;m sure &lt;br&gt;Gabby: Ok &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera and gabby walk out of the tent and Ciera left to go find Naruto. Gabby told everyone that Ciera went out to go find Naruto, well when Aang herd this he also left and followed Ciera close behind, but still stayed hidden. Ciera had walked though the dark woods for a while now and was getting hopeless, but then she saw a figure where they had seen Kaohmong and Sasuke together&amp;hellip; it was Naruto. She walked over to him and they started to talk. Aang sat behind one of the trees close by so he could hear what they were talking about&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera: So&amp;hellip; why did you leave camp?&lt;br&gt;Naruto: I needed some time to think&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;Ciera: But why did you take my glider?&lt;br&gt;Naruto: I knew that you would follow me if I did &lt;br&gt;Ciera: Why did you want me to follow you?&lt;br&gt;Naruto: So we could talk alone &lt;br&gt;Ciera: Oh *blushes*&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For some reason Ciera was starting to really fall in love with Naruto&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera: well I&amp;rsquo;m here, what do you want to talk about?&lt;br&gt;Naruto: I guess I wanted to know what was up with you and Aang.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Aang herd this and jumped and he started to really pay attention&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Well, we have a very weird history together *laughs*&lt;br&gt;Naruto: oh &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Knowing what was on Naruto&amp;rsquo;s mind she was feeling a little bad for him&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera: But lets not talk about Aang let&amp;rsquo;s talk about you and me and right now&amp;hellip; &lt;br&gt;Naruto: Oh *he perked up a bit* ok&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Yah, what do you want to do right now?&lt;br&gt;Naruto: Well, this&amp;hellip; I am spending time with the girl that I like and we are having a good time &lt;br&gt;Ciera: *laughs*&amp;hellip;well I wanted to tell you that&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;Naruto: Yah &lt;br&gt;Ciera: That I am sorry about all things that have happened between you and Aang and you and me, and I did mean it when I said I loved you&amp;hellip; I mean I have not been the nicest person to you so I want to make it up to you &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;She hesitated and then she did the unthinkable&amp;hellip; she kissed Naruto. Aang almost cried, but that would give him away so he choked it back and kept watching to see what was going to happen next&amp;hellip; Ciera was getting ready to pull back, but then Naruto pulled her closer to him and he would not let her go. She herd something by one of the trees, then she saw Aang&amp;hellip; she felt horrible, she didn&amp;rsquo;t want him to find out this way. She had to end the kiss, but Naruto would not let her go. She was so nervous, she didn&amp;rsquo;t know what to do, so she just went with it&amp;hellip; it made her feel horrible and twisted inside, but she went into it, it would make it go by faster&amp;hellip; after about 2 minuets of him kissing her he let her pull away&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Naruto why did you do that?? *Blushing*&lt;br&gt;Naruto: I wanted to make it last &lt;br&gt;Ciera: No kidding, well I think that I should be getting back to camp&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;Naruto: Ok &lt;br&gt;Ciera: See you later &lt;br&gt;Naruto: Hold on&amp;hellip; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He grabbed her wrist&amp;hellip; she was almost gone then he just had to grab her arm. He pulled her to his body then kissed her again on the lips, then let her go.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Naruto: *whispering into her ear* I&amp;rsquo;ll see you later&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;After that she ran to the tree where Aang was he did not have enough time to get away before she saw him&amp;hellip; he did not want to see her right now, much less ever again, but she was there and she wanted to talk&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Aang I am so sorry, I didn&amp;rsquo;t want you to find out this way! *she started to cry and fell to her knees*&lt;br&gt;Aang: What were you thinking coming out here all alone, especially to go find Naruto!&lt;br&gt;Ciera: *wiping the tears from her eyes* I know, I know&amp;hellip; how much did you see and hear? &lt;br&gt;Aang: everything&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;Ciera: OH MY GOD! Aang I am so sorry I did not want that kiss to last long, I just wanted to show him that I did care that he was alive&amp;hellip; when I tried to pull away he pulled me closer and I then I saw you&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;Aang: Ciera&amp;hellip; I had no idea you even liked him!&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Then I as was trying to leave he pulled my arm and pulled me to him and kissed me! Aang I am so sorry *keeps on crying* &lt;br&gt;Aang: Ok, well it is not all your fault&lt;br&gt;Ciera: *whispering* I&amp;rsquo;m sorry &lt;br&gt;Aang: I know &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Aang sank down to his knees and held Ciera in a tight embrace and they just sat there in the woods. After a while they fell asleep together under the tree, so they spent the night under the tree and they were there until Toph found them a ways from camp, but she did not want Katara to find out so she went on her own to go find them&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Toph: Hey, I am going to go out for a walk ok?&lt;br&gt;Sokka: Ok, do you want me to come with you?&lt;br&gt;Toph: No it&amp;rsquo;s ok&lt;br&gt;Sokka: Oh ok, well then see you later *gives Toph kiss* &lt;br&gt;Toph: Ok bye &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Toph walked alone in the woods till she found Ciera and Aang sleeping together under the tree. She did not want to wake them, but they needed to come back to camp so that everyone would stop worrying where they were&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Toph: Ciera Aang, wake up!&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Huh what? Oh my god we slept here all night?&lt;br&gt;Toph: Yep, and everybody is worried sick about you two&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Oh no&amp;hellip; hey did Naruto come back to camp last night?&lt;br&gt;Toph: Yah, we freaked out when you weren&amp;rsquo;t with him we thought he done something to you&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;Ciera: He did&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;Toph: What did he do?&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Well, to make a long story short&amp;hellip; he kissed me and would not let me go and then when he did let go, I was almost gone when he grabbed me by the wrist and kissed me again and Aang saw the whole thing&amp;hellip; so I came over to where Aang was hiding and we talked and I cried, then we just fell asleep&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;Toph: Wow&amp;hellip;.&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Yah so how was your night?&lt;br&gt;Toph: Well, we were worried sick about you and Aang &amp;lsquo;cause we had thought that he had done something bad to you and I guess you did, hehe, but we kept him on lock down until you came back with or without Aang&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;Ciera: Oh &lt;br&gt;Toph: Well you had better wake up twinkle toes &lt;br&gt;Ciera: *laughs* Yah...

She smiled, walked over to him; placed her hand on his shoulder, and leaned over. &amp;quot;Naruto, I&amp;rsquo;m back home.&amp;quot; She whispered quietly into his ear. Naruto&amp;rsquo;s eyes flickered open and he saw Ciera leaning over him, he too smiled.&lt;/font&gt;  &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;She sat on top of him and looked at his crystal blue eyes, then bent over so that she was directly over him. He wrapped his arms around her waist, when he did that she glanced down and then back to him. The two had a deep red blush over their faces. They glanced over at the clock; it was 6:54 P.M.. It then began to snow lightly outside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;We could do one of two things, stay inside and snuggle all night or we can go outside to the snow and have fun out there, so when we&amp;rsquo;re done out there we can come inside and warm up.&amp;quot; Ciera whispered to him hiding a darker blush that was coming across her face. &amp;quot;Let&amp;rsquo;s go outside&amp;hellip;&amp;quot; Naruto whispered back. &amp;quot;Ok&amp;hellip;&amp;quot; She replied, her face slowly returning to its normal color. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;They put on their heavy coats and walked outside hand In hand. They both had a blush on their faces as they walked close to each other in the snow. As they walked trough the snow covered city they looked at how the lights made the light flakes of ice sparkle. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;As for Tania she stood in the snow waiting for Gaara to show. Then from a distance she saw the sand bender.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;{{Writers Note - ok look I know when I say &amp;lsquo;sand bender&amp;rsquo; I am thinking of Avatar, but stay off my back!!!}}&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;When she made out who it was she ran up to him and gave him a hug. She noticed he wasn&amp;rsquo;t wearing his gourd. &amp;quot;Hey, where&amp;rsquo;s your sand gourd?&amp;quot; She asked stroking his red hair. &amp;quot;I didn&amp;rsquo;t think I would need it tonight.&amp;quot; He replied quietly. &amp;quot;Oh&amp;hellip;&amp;quot; &amp;quot;If you didn&amp;rsquo;t already have a place in mind, I want to take you to one of the most beautiful place in Konoha.&amp;quot; Gaara whispered to his love. &amp;quot;No I didn&amp;rsquo;t&amp;hellip;&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Good, let&amp;rsquo;s go&amp;hellip; but I want it to be a surprise.&amp;quot; He said before pulling his headband/belt off and wrapping it around her eyes. She smiled big and giggled as he took her hand and whisked her away. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;Gaara and Tania traveled for a half hour before she started to wonder where they were going. &amp;quot;How far away is this place?&amp;quot; She asked him. &amp;quot;Don&amp;rsquo;t worry we&amp;rsquo;re almost there.&amp;quot; Gaara said as they made their way to the &amp;lsquo;most beautiful spot in Konoha&amp;rsquo;. &amp;quot;Ok&amp;hellip;&amp;quot; Tania said unsure of anything any more. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;When he finally stopped, she slid off his back and let her feet lightly hit the ground. &amp;quot;We&amp;rsquo;re here.&amp;quot; Gaara said quietly. &amp;quot;And where exactly is here.&amp;quot; Tania asked as he took the blindfold off her eyes. When she opened her eyes they were standing on edge of a cliff, below them was a beautiful river that snaked all through the valleys of the hidden leaf. The sun was setting so it made the land glow red and orange. &amp;quot;Oh Gaara! It&amp;rsquo;s beautiful!&amp;quot; Tazza said as she gave him a hug of approval. &amp;quot;I knew you&amp;rsquo;d like it.&amp;quot; Gaara said hugging her back smiling. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;Back to Ciera and Naruto&amp;rsquo;s &lt;i&gt;date&lt;/i&gt;, they were sitting on bench watching the sun set as well. Ciera was leaning up against Naruto while he had his arm around her. They were staying as close as they could to try and keep warm; Ciera glanced up at Naruto and sighed. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;The warm sun slowly set over the land, giving into the night. The light stars above giving minimal illumination to the night. The night air was crisp as a light breeze blew. The snowing had stopped, leaving a fresh coat of the white ice across Konoha. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;Tania and Gaara sat there on the edge of the cliff looking over the now darkened forests below. Tania&amp;rsquo;s mind wondered the day they met. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tania and Aiko were running up the dirt path to the gates of Konoha. &amp;quot;Wait up Kao!&amp;quot; She yelled laughing as they came back from their latest mission. Kaohmong just looked back and smiled. There was a group of people at the gates; there were three of them one had blonde hair that was put up into four ponytails, another had purple face paint on his face with what looked like a puppet on his back, and the last had dark red hair with a gourd on his back. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;As Tania came up to the gates she thought she heard someone behind her, she took a quick look behind to check and see if anyone was there. Crash! Tazza had managed to run right into the redhead, knocking them to the floor. When she sat up she realized that she had just run into Gaara of the sand. Her eyes went wide; she heard what he was capable of and was a little scared of him.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tania quickly got off him, and pulled him up as well. &amp;lsquo;She doesn&amp;rsquo;t look familiar, and what the hell&amp;hellip; she actually looks pretty.&amp;rsquo; Gaara thought to himself as she pulled him up. Everyone around them was in shock the Gaara had not killed her already. Once they had got their footing again Tania broke the silence between them. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;Oh my gosh I am so sorry Gaara!&amp;quot; She said very panicked for what he what might do next. &amp;quot;I haven&amp;rsquo;t seen you around here before&amp;hellip;&amp;quot; Gaara said quietly. Everyone looked at him in shock. &amp;quot;Uhh&amp;hellip; yah because I just moved here with two other of my friends, one of them just ran past you and the other is in the hospital with Naruto.&amp;quot; She replied a little shocked that she wasn&amp;rsquo;t dead already. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;Oh, well what is your name, since you already know mine?&amp;quot; The redhead asked walking up close to her. Her heart rate was through the roof now. &amp;quot;M-my name is Tania.&amp;quot; She replied quietly. &amp;quot;Hmm&amp;hellip; that is very pretty name. Hey I will be coming back to town in few days, maybe we meet up again.&amp;quot; He whispered to her. &amp;quot;Y-yeah&amp;hellip;&amp;quot; She said, a dark blush making its way across her face. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;HE SMILED&lt;/b&gt; and walked away. Tania just stood there in disbelief at what had just happened. As the sand siblings walked into the woods Kankuro and Temari looked at Gaara non-stop, they were contemplating on whether or not that was the real Gaara or a fake. They said nothing the whole way to their destination.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;Tania gave a small sigh as she snuggled up closer to Gaara. He wrapped both arms around her and held her. She smiled as a dark blush spread across her face. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;The sun had completely set and gave way to the nighttime stars. There was a nice breeze that night, the snow making a white blanket across the ground. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;Naruto and Ciera were still snuggled up on the bench enjoying the night. Ciera glanced up at Naruto and gave him a wicked grin as she quietly grabbed snow and balled up in her hand. She crawled up him and looked him in the eyes. She pressed her lips against his soft lips; his face turned a bright red. She brushed her tongue on his lower lips and he gladly let her in. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;lsquo;My evil plan is working&amp;hellip;&amp;rsquo;&lt;/i&gt; Ciera thought to herself smirking. She slid the hand without the snow ball up under the back of his shirt. Her freezing hand on his hot back sent chills through Naruto&amp;rsquo;s body. Then she took the hand with the snowball and dropped down the back of his shirt. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;She pulled away and her hand out of his shirt quickly and stood up. Naruto was still trying to figure what the hell had just happened. The ice slowly sliding down his back freezing him. He sat there for a minute trying to the snowball out of his shirt. Ciera stood there laughing at him; he eventually got it out of his back. He gave her a death glare, &amp;quot;Catch me if you can!&amp;quot; Ciera yelled as she ran off. Naruto gave her a head start then chased after her.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;Ciera ran through the snow covered forest laughing as the snow crunched under her feet. Then she heard a noise behind her, she glanced back and then looked in front of her. &amp;quot;Nothing I guess&amp;hellip;&amp;quot; She whispered to herself. Then she saw a dark figure in a black cloak with red clouds on it. She brought herself to stop as she came up to him. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;I-Itachi&amp;hellip;&amp;quot; Ciera stammered, their bodies inches from each other. Itachi wrapped his arm around her pulling her up to him. &amp;quot;We split up before we could talk about our training arrangements.&amp;quot; Itachi said quietly, almost in a whisper. &amp;quot;Look now that Naruto is out of the hospital, training will much easier now.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;You can&amp;rsquo;t stay here; you&amp;rsquo;re going back to your home town to train.&amp;quot; Itachi said holding her closer to him. &amp;quot;But I can&amp;rsquo;t! This is my home now! I&amp;rsquo;m not going to leave Naruto!&amp;quot; Ciera said squirming in his grasp. &amp;quot;Either you come with us or you don&amp;rsquo;t get any kind of control over your Bijuu. Will you stop squirming?! I&amp;rsquo;m gonna rape you&amp;hellip; yet.&amp;quot; Itachi said tightening his grip on her. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;Ciera looked up at him with pleading eyes. &amp;quot;Yet?&amp;quot; She said glaring up at him. &amp;quot;Yet, my pet&amp;hellip;&amp;quot; He remarked scanning his fingers across her face. &amp;quot;Humph&amp;hellip;&amp;quot; She snapped turning her head to the side. &amp;quot;Why do you have to be so unwilling? I wasn&amp;rsquo;t really tired&amp;hellip; I just wanted the feeling of sleeping next to you...&amp;quot; Itachi whispered to her, his lips lightly grazing her neck. &amp;quot;Ok! I&amp;rsquo;ll go back&amp;hellip; just stop, before Naruto comes!&amp;quot; She yelled. &amp;quot;Good, we want you there in a week, can&amp;rsquo;t wait to have you sleep next to me again.&amp;quot; Itachi said as he lightly kissed at her neck. &amp;quot;Freak!&amp;quot; Ciera whispered as he let her go. She looked up at him as he disappeared into the night.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;{{Writers Note &amp;ndash; Ok by this part of the story Itachi has already taken ownership of Ciera. That&amp;rsquo;s what Naruto &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;heard when he heard Ciera and Itachi talking to each other. If you want to know more about the conversation&amp;hellip; ask me about it in a note and I will give it to you.}}&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;Naruto stopped and looked at her as she stood there alone in the white forest. He smiled to himself and jumped up into a nearby tree. Naruto carefully hopped through the trees, being careful not to make a sound. Ciera heard Naruto make a branch creak, she smiled and waited for him to jump on her. There it was, Naruto flew from a limb above and landing on Ciera throwing them down to the snow covered ground.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;I got you.&amp;quot; He whispered into her ear. Ciera flipped her body underneath him. &amp;quot;You got me&amp;hellip;&amp;quot; She replied smiling. Ciera pulled Naruto&amp;rsquo;s head down to hers, pulling him into a deep kiss. The fox pulled away for a minute smiling, &amp;quot;Don&amp;rsquo;t put ice down my back again.&amp;quot; Naruto muttered quietly. &amp;quot;I promise&amp;hellip;&amp;quot; Ciera replied wrapping her arms around Naruto&amp;rsquo;s back and pulling him back into the kiss. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;On the cliff Tania looked up at Gaara as the moon shone over them making Gaara&amp;rsquo;s skin shine in the moonlight. Tania smiled, but then gave a depressed sigh. &amp;quot;What&amp;rsquo;s wrong?&amp;quot; Gaara asked keeping his stare on the beautiful snow covered land below them. &amp;quot;It&amp;rsquo;s nothing&amp;hellip;&amp;quot; Tazza said turning her gaze to the snow next to them. &amp;quot;You sure?&amp;quot; He persisted. &amp;quot;Yah&amp;hellip;&amp;quot; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;Gaara gave her a piercing look and pulled her face up to his. &amp;quot;Gaara?&amp;quot; The black haired girl questioned almost too quietly to be heard. There was no response; he pulled his lips to hers. A dark blush made its way across her face. The redhead wrapped his arms around her back and held her tight; she retaliated by taking her hand a placing it behind his head, lacing her fingers in his locks. His tongue lightly ran across her lower lips, she hesitated then let him in. he explored every crevasse in her mouth, Tazza gave a small moan.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;It began to lightly snow again, the light flakes fell to ground like feathers. The full moon only making everything better. The two couples sat in the snow in their own worlds.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;The moon shone onto Ciera and Naruto, the pure light beams shining onto her now exposed back. A blue and black chakra aura encased her body, noticing this Ciera quickly pulled herself off Naruto and backed away. At the same time Tazza&amp;rsquo;s wolf necklace was glowing a bright blue. The bright light blinding Gaara for a moment. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;What the hell is that?!&amp;quot; Gaara yelled shielding his eyes. &amp;quot;Oh no, Ciera!&amp;quot; Tania said before standing up and dragging Gaara into the forest. The brown eyed girl closed her eyes for only a brief second, during that second she saw the way to get to Ciera. &amp;quot;Whoa!&amp;quot; Tazza said as they ran though the forest. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;Naruto sat there in disbelief as he watched Ciera become more like the wolf with each growing second. &amp;quot;Ciera&amp;hellip; what&amp;rsquo;s going on?!&amp;quot; Naruto asked getting up and walking toward her. &amp;quot;Naruto! Don&amp;rsquo;t come any closer! I&amp;rsquo;m fine! Just don&amp;rsquo;t come any closer please!&amp;quot; The wolf girl yelled. Naruto nodded and stood where he was. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;Naruto felt so helpless, he could only stand there and watch as Ciera became transformed by her Bijuu. The young girl screamed as her teeth became long and sharp, growing a fur coat, and six tails. The fox took a few more steps toward her reaching out a hand. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;When Tania and Gaara had finally made it to the site where this was a taking place it was too late. Ciera had made the full transformation. Thick black fur covering her body with a blue diamond on her chest and six blue tipped tails trashing around behind her. Her eyes glowing a bright blue, like Tazza&amp;rsquo;s necklace. Fangs were protruding from her mouth and a blue aura sounded her fully transformed body.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;The group stood there in amazement. The wolf had shrunk it&amp;rsquo;s self so that it could stay concealed in the forest. It was roughly the size of Aiko in her normal state. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;Tazza made a whistling sound and within seconds Aiko was above them looking down on the wolf Bijuu below; her fur glowing in the moonlight. Then the white fox hopped down next to Tania. Aiko took a few steps toward the wolf, being very alert to her state of being. Aiko circled the wolf a few times, sensing the vast amount of chakra that was flowing though Ciera.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Aiko! Get back here!&amp;quot; Tania yelled. &amp;quot;Tania what the hell is going on?!&amp;quot; Gaara asked looking intently at his girlfriend. Naruto was at a loss for words. &amp;quot;To be honest I have no clue what&amp;rsquo;s going on&amp;hellip;&amp;quot;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;To be continued&amp;hellip;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Picking Up The Pieces (Part 5)</title><link>http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Picking+Up+The+Pieces+%28Part+5%29</link><author>FanLoveCreator</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Picking+Up+The+Pieces+%28Part+5%29</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 16:15:36 CDT</pubDate><description>Coming Soon...&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Under Red Clouds (Part 4)</title><link>http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Under+Red+Clouds+%28Part+4%29</link><author>FanLoveCreator</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Under+Red+Clouds+%28Part+4%29</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 16:15:15 CDT</pubDate><description>Coming Soon...&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Back To Konoha (Part 3)</title><link>http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Back+To+Konoha+%28Part+3%29</link><author>FanLoveCreator</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Back+To+Konoha+%28Part+3%29</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 16:14:59 CDT</pubDate><description>Coming Soon...&lt;br&gt;&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Chapter 6</title><link>http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Chapter+6</link><author>FanLoveCreator</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Chapter+6</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 15:59:00 CDT</pubDate><description>&lt;div class=&quot;text&quot;&gt;People:&lt;br&gt;Ciera&lt;br&gt;Kaohmong&lt;br&gt;Gabby&lt;br&gt;Aang &lt;br&gt;Katara&lt;br&gt;Sokka &lt;br&gt;Toph&lt;br&gt;Kiba&lt;br&gt;Naruto&lt;br&gt;Sasuke &lt;br&gt;Sakura&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Setting:&lt;br&gt;Ok well we have left off when Ciera, Aang, and Toph had just come back to camp to feel that no one was there. As they searched the camp site Ciera found a letter from Katara before they had been raided and that said that they were worried that something bad was about to happen, but without Toph they were not sure&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;as the letter went on she ended the letter saying &amp;ldquo;I hope that that&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;OH MY GOD! ZUKO AND AZULA ARE HERE! *long brush stroke across the paper*&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Aang: so what now &lt;br&gt;Ciera: well first things first&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;start packing &lt;br&gt;Toph: what for?&lt;br&gt;Ciera: we are going to find our friends&lt;br&gt;Aang: and how do you expect to do that?!&lt;br&gt;Ciera: I have no idea, but I am sure we will think of something *gives a sly grin* &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On the fire nation ship the poor kids are locked up in the same cells as the water benders were captured down in the South Pole so that the kids could not escape&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kaohmong: what is this place who are these people and why are their prisoners!?!?!?!&lt;br&gt;Katara: well to make a long story short&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;these people that captured us are fire nation their names are Zuko and Azula, we are their enemies and we are now under their power, is that enough for you?&lt;br&gt;Kaohmong: yah&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;but how did they get here?&lt;br&gt;Katara: I&amp;rsquo;m not sure&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A deathly silence came over the prison cell, in Katara&amp;rsquo;s mind she kept thinking of ways to get out, but she was running out of ideas&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;then when she was about to give up she remembered something&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;she was a blood bender. She began to practice on the rats as her horrible teacher had done when she had remembered how to do it she gave it a try on Sokka&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Katara: Sokka hold still for a minute &lt;br&gt;Sokka: what for?&lt;br&gt;Katara: I need to practice&lt;br&gt;Sokka: practice what?&lt;br&gt;Katara: *in hushed tone* my blood bending&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;Sokka: WHAT! WHY DO I HAVE TO BE THE DUMMY!?!?!&lt;br&gt;Katara: do I really have to answer that question? *gives a mocking smile*&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sokka groaned and stood up and held still for his sister to begin with her horrible talent&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sokka: how long is this going to take?&lt;br&gt;Katara: not long * she said with a wicked smile on her face* &lt;br&gt;Sokka: Katara&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;.KATARA!! AHHHH&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He started to flip all around the cell and they had taken all of the weapons they had so they could not do anything. As they sat there in disbelief not knowing if they could do a thing about it. Then Kaohmong just realized something she always kept a little switch blade in her shoe for incase she ever got into a fight or something she would always have it, but now was the perfect time to use it. She pulled off her shoe and found the tiny switch in her shoe and flipped the blade out and the blade that was supposed to be in their was gone! She was so upset and in moments desperation she through the holder at Katara then the blade had just come back out as the holder was in the air. Nobody understood what had just happened; the blade had just come out of thin air. Now they were trying to stop it, but it was too late. The knife had made contact with Katara&amp;rsquo;s arm and knocked her over and out of it&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Katara: AHHH *grabs arm*&lt;br&gt;Kaohmong: WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sokka to afraid to move or even speak just sat there and quivered in the corner of his cell&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sokka: *in mind* oh my god, she could have killed me&amp;hellip;but she didn&amp;rsquo;t&amp;hellip;&amp;hellip;what came over her?&lt;br&gt;Kaohmong: ANSWER ME!!&lt;br&gt;Katara: I DON&amp;rsquo;T KNOW &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Starting to cry not sure what had come over her and the massive pain she felt in her arm&amp;hellip;she screamed. As the guards came she started to think of a plan inside of her head, but she could not tell anyone she just had to keep it to herself and hope and pray they would not kill her. All she could do now was wait for aang, ciera, and toph to come and rescue them when ever that would be&amp;hellip;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To be continued&amp;hellip; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Chapter 7</title><link>http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Chapter+7</link><author>FanLoveCreator</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://fanlove.wetpaint.com/page/Chapter+7</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 15:58:11 CDT</pubDate><description>  &lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;f&quot;&gt;  &lt;tbody&gt;  &lt;tr&gt;  &lt;td class=&quot;f&quot;&gt;  &lt;div class=&quot;text&quot;&gt;People:&lt;br&gt;Aang&lt;br&gt;Toph&lt;br&gt;Ciera&lt;br&gt;Katara&lt;br&gt;Naruto&lt;br&gt;Sokka&lt;br&gt;Kaohmong &lt;br&gt;Kiba&lt;br&gt;Sasuke&lt;br&gt;Sakura&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Setting:&lt;br&gt;Aang, ciera, and Toph are trying to find a way to find and rescue their friends.
