Chapter 14

Two days later

Alexis's POV

I feel something very off about this mission but I push it away as we run to the Sand's infirmary.

Me and Sakura take a look at Kankuro.

I tie my knee length hair up, I had no time to cut it during the two and a half year mission.

I place a glowing green hand over Kankuro. "Sakura what do you know about poisons?" I ask her.

"A lot, I'll help make a mixture to extract the poison." Sakura says to me.

I nod. "Good idea." 

Sakura helps the doctors make a few mixtures and we both extract most of the poison so that he'll be stable.

"Alexis what do you want me to do?" Sakura asks me.

"Go ahead and make the cure, I have full trust that you can do it, you are the apprentice of Lady Tsunade." I say placing a hand on her shoulder with a smile.

Sakura looks at me determined and then walks over to the doctors.

I walk to the door and an old Lady and an old man look at me.

"Hello." I say and the old lady looks at me then glares. 

"You." She tries attacking me but I dodge. "Mikoto." 

"Sorry, that's my mother. I'm Alexis." I say to her.

"Kankuro is awake." Sakura calls.

Everyone walks in and Kankuro tells us what happened.

I walk out of the room and out of the building, I think for a second.

"Ok, now what? Think." I say to myself as I look up at the sky.

Ok, what would Logan do about this? Oh right, he'd just rush in with out a second thought.

"Hmm, what to do?" I ask myself as I try thinking out a plan and I groan since I can't think of anything. "Logan's idiotic talking would be helpful right now, he is a genius some times." I say and fix my pony tail so that my Uchiha crest is showing proudly.

"So your an Uchiha then."

I jump up on the roof out of surprise. 

"Wow, you can jump high." The old lady and the old guy say looking at me.

I look at them and I calm down and I land on the ground. "Oh." I say to them.

"I don't think we introduced ourselves." The old man says to me. "I'm Grandpa Ebizo." He says to me.

"I'm Granny Chiyo. We are the honored siblings." The old lady says to me.

I nod. "I'm Alexis Uchiha, the Heiress of the Uchiha clan." I say to them with a slight bow of my head.

"So your title is Lady Alexis." Granny Chiyo says to me.

"I'm not sure I'm ready to be called that." I say to her with slightly wider eyes.

Kakashi chuckles. "But is that not your proper title?" Kakashi asks me.

"Well I mean, yes but I'm just not used to being called that. Its been years since I was called that." I say to him quickly as I try to find the right words for this.

I'm backed into a corner.

"I uh, have to go see if I can help the guards at the gates." I say quickly as I back away slowly.

Kakashi watches amused. "Alright, we release you from your corner." Kakashi says to me.

I bolt down the street to the gates. I reach the guards in no time and once I get there I breath a sigh of relief.

Baki walks up to me. "Lady Alexis." He says to me with a bow of his head.

I accidently bite my tongue. "I came to see if you needed my help with anything." I say to him.

"I see, well we could use a set of eyes and ears up there." Baki says to me as he points to a blank area on the wall.

I nod and I jump up to where he was pointing.

The Next Day.

I run out of the gates next to Kakashi, Granny Chiyo, Sakura and Naruto.

We follow Pakkun most of the way and then Pakkun goes to help Guy and his team.

We rest for the night before we set off again.

We get stopped by Itachi after a while.

My eyes widen and so does Itachi's. We stare at each other and everyone looks at us.

"Brother and Sister staring each other in the eye." Kakashi says while looking between us.

We activate our Mangekyo.

"I see your eyes have been healed Alexis." Itachi says to me.

"Yes Nii-San, they have been healed." I say to him.

I want to hug him and I want to cry, I'm an adult and yet I still want to hug and cry on my brothers shoulder just like a I did when I was still just a kid.

I look at him as pain flashes through our eyes.

We fight Gen-Jutsu against Gen-Jutsu.

We do some hand signs. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu." We blow fire out of our mouths and it forms into fireballs and push against each others.

Please someone don't let this go on any longer, I can't fight Nii-San, its just, it hurts, he's my brother, my twin we share a special bond that can't be broken.

"This is the child who massacred his clan." Granny Chiyo says looking at Itachi.

"Yes and Alexis is his twin sister." Kakashi says to her.

Sakura gasps. "She's fighting her own brother?" Sakura asks.

A tear falls down my face.

"Yes Sakura, she is fighting her own brother. She's the only one who can stand toe to toe with him and possibly win." Kakashi says to her in a calm tone.

Naruto and Sakura look at us with an unreadable emotion.

"Alexis back down, I do not wish to fight you." Itachi says to me.

I shake my head. "You know very well that I can not back down brother." I say to him with a frown.

Me and Itachi clash in a Tai-Jutsu battle.

"Alexis." Itachi says to me as I block his leg from kicking me. "Why were you sent on this mission?" Itachi asks quietly so only I hear him.

"Orders." I say quietly.

"I see. Please leave." Itachi says to me quietly.

"I can't, Lady Tsunade would yell at me for an hour if I abandoned this mission." I say to him quietly.

Itachi looks at me with saddened eyes and we continue to fight.

Naruto gets caught in one of Itachi's Gen-Jutsu and fires a Rasengan.

I jump back and make the release sign next to Naruto. "Release." I say as Granny Chiyo and Sakura put some of their chakra into him and Naruto gets out of the Gen-Jutsu.

I fight against Itachi and soon enough beat him.

I look at his body only to see someone else's.

I clench my fist and Kakashi places a hand on my shoulder.

"Lets keep going." Kakashi says to me.

I nod and we continue running.

We run and find a cave with a giant boulder in front of it and Guy with his team next to it.

"Kakashi your late. And Alexis, your back." Guy says to us with a smirk.

I nod to him.

Neji looks at me confused. "Where is Logan?" 

"Back at the Leaf Village, taking a break from missions. You can ask him about it when we get back." I say to him.

Neji nods.

I walk up to the giant boulder and I touch it but a sealing barrier knocks my hand back. "I see, Kakashi, Guy, its a five seal barrier." I say to them and they nod.

Guy nods to Neji and Neji activates his Byakugan and tells the distance of each tag.

Guy hands me and Kakashi each a communication device and one to Lee, Ten-Ten and Neji.

I put it on and I adjust the sound but Lee talks and blasts my ear drums and I stumble backwards and I trip on a rock and fall on my behind.

Lee tests it again and it still blasts our ears.

Then he finally gets it and I'm able to stand up with out getting dizzy.

I walk up next to Sakura. "Sakura when they pull off the tags you punch that boulder down." I say to her and Sakura nods.

I nod to Guy and his team and they split up. 

Once they get in positions Kakashi and Guy's team take the tags off.

"Now Sakura." I say to her and she punches the boulder down.

Me, Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura and Granny Chiyo run in and I see a puppet and blonde boy, the blonde is sitting on Gaara.

I listen as the two bicker about art and they turn to me.

"Which art is better, eternal crap or beautiful explosions?" The blonde asks me.

"Hmm, I don't like either of them, I like Gen-Jutsu art." I say to them and they scowl at me as I activate my Mangekyo.

"So your Itachi's sister." The puppet says to me with a smirk on his face.

"Alexis, your an Uchiha, act like it for this fight." Kakashi says to me.

I nod and get in a defensive stance.

"Logan would be useful right now." I say to Kakashi and he nods in agreement.

Naruto starts yelling about how the blonde should get of Gaara. I place a hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"Naruto, calm it." I say to him calmly.

"But, but he's sitting on Gaara." Naruto says to me.

"I said calm it. We'll get Gaara back." I say to Naruto.

Naruto nods and gets serious.

The blonde create a clay bird and takes Gaara with him, of course Naruto chases him and Kakashi follows, leaving me, Granny Chiyo and Sakura here to fight the puppet.

"How did I get stuck fighting a puppet?" I ask through the communication device.

"Each group has to have a Jonin, that's why and besides you are of use there instead of chases like this." Kakashi says through the communication device.

"Uh huh." I say and I look at the puppet.

I pull out a kunai slowly and Granny Chiyo eyes me.

"Lady Alexis, what are you doing?" Granny Chiyo asks me.

"What me and Logan always do, fight with out a plan and use our instincts." I say to her. "Some how we come out alive, but that's because we've been a team for 15 years and know exactly what to do." I say to Granny Chiyo and she looks at me shocked.

"15 years?" Granny Chiyo asks.

"Ever since we graduated. We're brother and sister-in-arms." I say to her with a smile and then I turn serious. 

"We'll figure out a plan while you distract Sasori." Granny Chiyo says to me.

I nod and I run at Sasori with my instincts in control.

I do whatever my instincts tell me, usually I'm serious and I have everything thought out for my battles, but being Logan's teammate has made me trust my instincts more than my brain sometimes.

Soon enough Sakura, Granny Chiyo and I are dodging senbon. But I have no help with it and I'm doing perfectly fine.

"This is easy." I say and I hear Sasori growl.

I jump over the senbon and I land on Sasori's puppets back, on the tail, perfectly.

"10 out of 10." I say with smile.

"How are you?" Sakura asks me shocked.

"This is what happens when you partner with an idiot who has no brains in his head for 15 years, while fighting about nonsense that ticks each other off." I say with a shrug and Sasori grumbles incoherent words about me. "Uh huh, no that's totally wrong, you idiot don't say that about someone, ugh how could you." I say to him as I listen to his constant jabbering.

"How are you understanding him?" Granny Chiyo asks.

"Uh, like I said, partnering up with an idiot who has no brains in his head for 15 years, while fighting about nonsense that ticks each other off." I say to her.

I stand there on the tail of his puppet while just annoying him basically.

"Get off of me." Sasori says to me.

I nod to Sakura and I jump off as she punches Sasori's puppet into bits. I land and slide back slightly.
