Your eyes slowly fluttered open, light shining through the curtains in the room you were currently sharing with Sakura.

"You awake Y/n?" She asked. You nodded while starting to sit up.

"Yeah— Gah! fuck!" You hissed.

"What's wrong?!" She asked worriedly.

"I feel like shit..." You croaked out. She zoomed over to the bed and put a hand to your forehead and gasped.

"You have a severe fever! How did that happen?!" She asked, quickly getting a rag.

"It's the after effects of the Jutsu that I used to remove the poison." You replied, fully sitting up. She draped the now wet rag over your head and laid you down again.

"Sakura~ I'm fine!" You whined.

"No, you're not." She scolded. Then there was a knock on the door.

"Sakura! Is Y/n up? Pakkun found the location of the hideout. We need to leave as soon as possible." Kakashi asked.

'Weird... wasn't Byakko suppose to?' You thought. Sakura walked up to the door and opened it, revealing the silver-haired man.

"She is, but she has a horrible fever. She said it's from that Jutsu she used." Sakura explained, looking worriedly over to you. He sighed.

"That might be a problem..." He mumbled.

"I said, I'm fine!" You insisted, sitting up, only to throw up on the other side of the bed.

"Well... I'm sorry to say this, but it seems you'll have to stay here for the time being. At least until this sickness washes over." Kakashi concluded. You were still flopped over the side of the bed, but your hair began to float and divide as a red and black aura surrounded you, signaling your anger and frustration. He just chuckled nervously, raising his hands in defense.

"S—sorry Y/n... but on the bright side, you can leave when you get better!" He said while forcing a laugh.

"Y/n... It really is better to stay here. Until you get better." Sakura tried to persuade you.

"I don't care. I want to go with you...!" You pushed, sitting up again.

"Yo! What's going on?" You heard Naruto's voice.

"It's Y/n." Kakashi said with a sigh.

"Oh? What about her?" He asked.

"She's sick, but refuses to stay here until she gets better." Sakura said. He looked inside the room and saw your limp, pale form. You almost looked dead. He walked towards the bed and gently placed a hand on your shoulder.

"Y/n..." He said, somewhat sternly. You slowly rolled back up and looked at him through your hair, not fully turned towards him.

"You need to stay here. We can't afford you getting sicker. Gaara wouldn't want that." He said quietly and serious. You looked at him, deep in his blue eyes. You stared at him for a minute before sighing.

"Fine. I'll stay here." You grumbled. A smile appeared on his face.

"Great! Thanks, Y/n!" He said happily. You looked at him, before smiling yourself.

"But don't think I won't join you today! I'll get better so I can rejoin you guys! I also want to see Gai and his team!" You exclaimed.

"Eh? How did you know that?" He asked.

"I heard your convo with Kakashi sensei." You replied.

"O-oh..." Was his reply.

You were laying on the bed, staring out of the window. The others left a while ago and you're not even close to feeling good.

And you were bored as hell.

Hime, why did you use that Jutsu if you knew this would be the outcome?

'I had to. He would've died. Anything else would've taken too long.'

Tch. Why do you think it's called 'Demon's Sacrifice'?

Hm? Why?

'*facepalm*'

'It's because its sacrifices my health to heal another. It's like Angel's Healing, except I get severely ill afterwards.'

Ohhhhhh...

'That's why I feel like ass.'

I get it now...

-sigh- Just try to rest and get better. God knows what's going to happen.

'Yes mom.'

ShUt Up!

'*snickers*'

Timeskip like three hours~

You woke up once again and sat up. You looked at the wall clock and saw only a couple of hours had passed. You yawned at stretched like a cat before realizing...

YOU DIDN'T FEEL LIKE SHIT ANYMORE!!!!

"WOOHOO!!!" You screamed, throwing the covers off of you and scrambling towards the window. You slammed it open and felt the breeze, while basically snorting in the air...

... except you snorted too hard and started choking...

You're so smart...

Once you regained composure, you hopped onto the window sill.

"HERE I COME MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!! YA HOO!!!!!" You screamed while blasting off and running out of Suna the speed of light. You started running through the dessert like a rabid animal with your eyes black and red.

"I can fly!!!!!" You yelled as black and f/c wings sprouted from your back.

"WOO!!! I FEEL LIKE KING!!" You yelled.

King? As in the Sin of Sloth?

Obviously you idiot...

You exited the desert and entered the forest. You constantly dodged trees, and did flips and whatnot. However, half way into the trip, you sensed familiar chakras.

Including someone else's.

You crash landed onto a tree branch and stood up like caveman SpongeBob.

You hid your presence since you knew you couldn't be sensed even by the best sensory ninja. You hid behind a tree, your wings disappearing. You're about 10 meters from the group. You also saw the Akatsuki cloak.

'Itachi...' You thought.

"What do I do?" You murmured.

'Fuck it.' You thought before jumping out of the trees and landed next to Chiyo.

"Y/n!" Naruto and Sakura called.

"Yo!" Is all you said.

"You're better?" Kakashi asked.

"Ah, yeah." You said, stretching your back, hearing multiple pops and cracks. Your eyes then landed on Weasel-kun—I mean Itachi.

"Yo. It's been a while Itachi." You greeted.

"Yeah. You've certainly grown." He replied. You have him a toothy grin, your canines razor sharp.

"By the way. I don't mean to rain on your parade, Naruto, Sakura, Granny. But I think it would be more efficient if Kakashi sensei and I went up against him. Then you'll three will come in later if he and I are unable." You said, putting your hands on the back of your head.

"Huh? Why?" Sakura asked. You closed your eyes before reopening them, and looking at Sakura.

"Because Genjutsu doesn't work on me."

OHHHHHHH CLIFFHANGERRRRRRRR!!!!

Ja ne!
