Chapter 22- Walking, Again?

I sat up suddenly, making black spots appear in my vision as I groaned and rubbed my eyes.

"You're awake," a cold voice said.

"Thanks, captain obvious," I said as my vision cleared and I glared at Sasuke,who set me down when e saw I was concious. I looked around, noticing we were no longer in the land of waves... Why are we in the middle of nowhere?

"We're keeping her," Suigetsu decided.

"What was that?" Sasuke asked ignoring him. He had a bored expression, but I could tell he was curious.

"Nothing of importance-" I looked around. "And this isn't the land of waves. Where are we?"

Sasuke rose an eyebrow as I glared at him. "Answer my question. Why did you suddenly black out?"

"I don't have to answer you," I replied stubbornly. 

"Akira-"

"Since when do you call me Akira?" I asked confused. Hm I hadn't noticed before.

"Sinse I saw Naruto and Sakura call you that," he said as though it were obvious. "Besides, Orochimaru called you Akira... When I first saw you I simply thought you were still going by Alison."

"Interesting," I said sighing. "Wait Orochimaru mentioned me? He's a creep."

"Stop avoiding the question," I could hear a tinge of irritation. "But yes, he found out your heritage and wanted to get you for himself."

"I repeat: creep. And... I don't know," I finally answered, not looking at him in the eye as I thought. "It's happened before... It always happens when I try to... Never mind."

"When you try to what?" He asked with a dangerous tone, making me turn to him wide-eyed and actually gulp in shock.

"When I try to see what will happen," I said finally. "Or when I get glimpses of what will happen. I-I still don't understand why."

"What will happen?" Suigetsu cut in confused. "You mean like- the future?"

"What did you see?" Sasuke asked, with narrowed eyes.

"I didn't understand any of it," I said honestly. "It was a war... a big one. It was so confusing... There was this man..."

"Do I kill Itachi?!" Sasuke asked suddenly very angry.

"I-I don't know," I said, my eyes widened. Does he? I can't remember! How can I not remember!

"Tell me!" he said angrily.

"I don't know, Sasuke!" I said as I started shaking. Why can't I remember this!? This was important I know it... What is happening?! I read all the manga for nothing! I need to know what will happen... What help am I if I'm just as clueless as everyone-

"Snap out of it!" 

I came back and noticed I was crying and shaking, while Suigetsu held my arms and Sasuke stared with actual guilt in his eyes. This is bizarre...

"I'm sorry," I said as I looked ay my hands, only to find I had been clenching my fist so hard, my nails had dug into my skin. "I-I don't know what just happened. It appeares I'm turning into a freak. Great, just what I need."

"You had a panic attack," Suigetsu said seriously. "You don't have to ask for forgiveness for that... It's not your fault. Everything's alright now."

I stared at him surprised... I don't particularly remember much but I think this is pretty out of character. Finally, Suigetsu let my arms go and offered a hand, which I took gratefully as I used it to help me stand up. 

"I didn't mean to snap," Sasuke said as he turned around and started walking.

"That's his way of saying he's sorry," Suigetsu said smirking.

"I know," I said with a small smile. "Well... I'll be going now-"

Suddenly I was placed over someone's shoulders and I yelped in surprise, hiting Suigetsu in the back. 

"Let me go you idiot!" I said as I trashed around.

"You're coming with us," Sasuke said simply. "Either Suigetsu holds you all the way, or you comply."

"Why won't you let me go?!" I yelled in frustration. "You supposedly don't care about anyone anymore-"

"I need your avilities," he stated simply. "So which will it be?"

I though about it for a minute, and then pretended to huff in annoyance.

"Fine," I said finally. "I'll comply okay, just put me down."

Soon, my feet were back on the ground and I crossed my arms annoyed. As soon as they started walking I tried to make a run for it, only to be held by my waist, a kunai to my throat.

"Really?" Sasuke said unamused, as the kunai actually cut a little, making a small drop of blood trail down my neck. "Don't take me for an idiot, Akira-hime."

My eyes narowed in anger at him calling me princess. He knows how much I hate it.

"And if I fight?" I asked silently.

"You know what the result would be, don't you?" he whispered in my ear, making shivers sperad through my body. "You are tired at the moment, and there's two of us... Don't make me kill you."

I closed my eyes, trying to contain myself from shaking. He sounded so sincere... I'm actually terrified for my life at the moment.

"I-I'll follow," I finaly said, and the kunai was removed, making my body relax a little.

"Good," Sasuke whispered as he finally turned around. 

"I hate you," I muttered angrily as I followed behind Sasuke and Suigetsu, who was looking at me from the corner of his eyes, as if analizing me.

It was pretty hot outside, so I was going to get my hair in a ponytail when-

"What is that?" Suigetsu sudenly asked, pointing to my neck.

I let my hair loose once again from the surprise, and Sasuke looked at us from the corner of his eyes.

"What?" I asked innocently.

"At the back of your neck," Suigetsu said raising an eyebrow in curiosity.

"Oh," I said understanding. "That would be my tattoo."

"It looked like blood," he said

So yeah, I had gotten a few tattoos. In my Akatsuki days I got two of them, one for the fun of it, while the other one was actually a part of my own special jutsu. I looked at my gloved hand sighing. The tattoo had started as a little mark, which has been growing a bit and will in the end be a lotus flower. It's kind of like sealing some of my chakra for a special purpose. Only I can't remember what I was going to use the jutsu on... This is bad. ALthough I remember how it works... Who was I planning on releasing it? All the time it took me to actually convine my mother jutsu with a new technique specifically for something... and I forget it... This is definitley no good.

"Tattoo?" Sasuke asked.

"Hai," I said. "It's not the only tattoo I've got."

"That's new," Sasuke said. "I didn't picture you as if to get a tattoo."

"I've always wanted one, actually," I said as we walked. On the back of my neck was a simple kanji... The same kanji that is on Itachi's Akatsuki ring, simply because I really liked it. It was tattooed in red, ironically.

We continued in silence until we arrived to the location we were apparently aiming for.

We entered and I unconsiously held on to Sasuke as I spotted people in jail-like-thingies. We continued walking and I got more anxious by the second.

"It's you guys after all," a girl said standing in front of us. Hmm.... I'm pretty sure I know her... UGh I can't remember! 

Her eyes narrowed a little and I groaned annoyed. She annoyed me already. That is a new record... This must mean my subconcious knows she is a Sasuke fan-girl, no one annoys me faster than those. 

"You're alone Sasuke," she said completely ignoring me and Suigetsu. "That means it must be true..."

"That's mean, we're here too!" Suigetsu said.

"So why are you here?" she asked Sasuke once again, making me glare. 

"Sasuke's got a proposition for you," Suijetsu said. "It would be easier to discuss if you led us to a room... Besides, I'm tired. It has been a while since I walked,"

We followed her to a room and we all sat down. I stayed glued to Sasuke, not willing to let go of his arm. He, surprisingly, didn't appear to care.

"Come with us, Karin," Sasuke said. "I need you."

"Why would I go anywhere!" she shouted. "I'm in charge here!"

"Orochimaru's out of the picture," Sasuke reminded her. This is so troublesome.. I need to remembeeeer...

"What about the captives?!" Ugh she's making me get a head-ache.

"Suigetsu," Sasuke said simply. "Go free all the prisoners."

"Still acting like the boss, I see," Suigetsu said as he stood up. He kinda reminds me of a shark... Hm like kisame... And like Sabuza... Why o they all have poity teeth?

"Don't you dare!" Karin said angrily. She's freaking annoying.

"There's no more reason to keep them around," Sasuke stated. "What would you do with them?"

"I still refuse! I'm not in any obligations to follow your orders!" Karin shouted. Yadda yadda yadda

"Fine," Sasuke said sighing. "I'll just replace you... Actually, Akira might just take your place."

I saw Karin's eyes widened as she went to the door and closed it, turning to Sasuke. She's being a complete creeper I swear-

"I'll come," she said suddenly taking her glasses off and walking towards Sasuke strutting exageratedly her hips. I scrunched up my nose. "If you really need me, I'll go with you."

"You changed your mind pretty quicklly," Sasuke turned to her as she sat down. He's not that dense is he?

"I was just thinking how tired I am of this place," she said as she came closer to Sasuke, making me want to puke. Is she trying to be sexy? She's so failing. I knew I hated her for something, she was such a fangirl.

"We don't need Suigetsu or this skank either," she said, making me get an irk mark. I'm right here! "All we need is each other."

"Will you back off," Sasuke said simply, making me almost smile. But I'm still pissed about her out of everyone calling me a skank.

The door suddenly crashed and there stood Suigetsu with one arm pretty huge.

"Let's go," he said. "She clearly doesn't want to come."

"She changed her mind," Sasuke said simply. 

"I did not! I'm simply heading the same way!"

"Yeah right," I said as I stood up. "You simply wanted to get Sasuke tu fuck you. Let's be honest here bitch, you have got no chances with him... Besides, he's taken so back off!"

"W-What!?"

Sasuke looked at me when I said he's taken. I mean he's not, but still if a fan-girl was gonna get him it better be Sakura. 

Suigetsu was laughing out loud while I stared at her threateningly.

"I said," I repeated slowly, as if she were dumb. "You're just coming cause you wish Sasuke will fuck you-"

She came at me but this time I switched sides and easily put my two katanas in her neck as a cross. 

"Also," I said in a deathly whisper. "Don't ever call me a skank."

Sasuke stared at me with a bit of widened eyes. Right, he has seen me be as useless as Sakura used to be all this time.

"Ne, I want girls to fight for me too!" Suigetsu exclaimed.

"Ugh," I said disgusted. "I'm so not into him. I've got my own smexy boyfriend. I'm just... Keeping and eye on him for a friend."

Sasuke narrowed his eyes, knowing I was taling about Sakura.

"Not interested," he said simply, making Karing smile smugly.

"He's still not into you Karin," I said annoyed. "A rock is more interesting than you."

"Why you-!"

"Silence," Sasuke said as he closed his eyes, trying not to kill me for annoying him I guess. "We need to discuss where we're heading next."

After that I paid no mind to their conversation.

I need to let the Hokage know where I am. 

"I'll wait outside," I said as I tried to go out, but Sasuke stopped me. "Come on, you'll sense my chakra. I'm just tired of the bitch."

Sasuke let my arm go, but shook his head no, making me pout. 

"We're walking again?" Suigetsu complained. "But I'm so exhausted."

"I agree," I whined. "Let's rest for a bit, ne?"

"Heh, going inside the north hide-out is suicide," Karin ignored the both of us, making my blood boil. Oh how I want to kill her. 

I stopped and sighed, biting into my thumb until a drop of blood came out.

"What do you think you're doing?" Sasuke asked stopping my hand.

"I'm not walking anymore," I said as if it was obvious. "I'll summon someone to carry me."

He looked at me and sighing he let go of my hand... Akira-2, Sasuke-0... Well Sasuke-1... He did get me to stay here... But puh-lease of course I'm not tired: my stmina is better since Akatsuki. This is the only way to get a message to Konoha.

Spott appeared making me grin and hug him , and he simply pushed me away with his paw.

"What do you..." he stopped as he spotted Sasuke, Karin and Suigetsu. He growled as soon as he saw Sasuke.

"Don't," I said simply. "You're here because I'm too lazy to walk. This isn't a fight."

Spot turned to me confused, but his eyes widened in realization when I said I didn't want to walk. He nodded and let me get on his back, understanding I didn't want anyone else to know the real purpose.

I dramatically threw myself and hugged him around the neck.

"You'll stay here for a while, pay attention to what we say," I said seriously. "Then, you'll head to the Leaf and inform the Hokage my situation. She is to not send anyone, they won't hurt me. I'll find a way to leave once I discover what they're up to."

"Don't you already know," he whispered quietly, referring to my past knowledge about the future.

"Not anymore," I said sighing. "We'll talk about that later."

In that time, the others were discussing the dangers of the north lair. I was in my own world trying to remember, but a migraine started and I gave up. 

After a while Suigetsu sat down and continued going on about how tired he was. Karin kept snapping at him and annoying me. Sasuke was being his Uchiha self and just being there all emotionless.

Finally, we arrived to the place we were headed to. 

"Well Spot," I said as I got off him. "Buh-bye!"

Spot dissapeared and I smirked slightly, before composing myself and turning to face the others.

"So why are we here again?"

Suigetsu laughed as Karin muttered how stupid I was and Sasuke shook his head annoyed.

"We were discussing that all the way here, baka," Sasuke muttered pinching his nose.

"Well," I said laughing ashamed. "You knew how I was when you asked me to stay so shut it!"

---In Konoha---

"What do you mean she's gone!" Kakashi said as he looked at the Hokage shocked. "She was just released from the hospital!"

"Kakashi, don't worry," Tsunade said. "She came here asking a mission and it was a simple task-"

"That makes no sense," Kiba said confused. "You called her here... I was with her. And she promised to meet me at my house later..."

Damn it Akira! The Hokage thought annoyed.

"Lady Hokage," a voice interrupted, making all turn towards the tiger that just appeared in the room.

"The hell," Kiba said surprised. "Spot? What are you doing here."

"I'm here to report on Akira," he said simply. "She's been taken by Sasuke Uchiha."

"What?!" Kakashi and Kiba both exclaimed wide-eyed.

Spot stared at them weirdly and continued. "Not to worry, she said she'll stay there for a while and figure out their plans... From what I gathered: he is forming a team. He already has two members, plus Akira, and is looking for a third."

"Is she still in the land of waves?"

"No," Spot said.

"Land of waves? What is going on here?" Kakashi demanded.

"I lied," the Hokage said massagin her temples. "Akira didn't want you to worry. She had some sort of... Business in the land of Waves. I asked her to come for another reason, and she asked for permission on a solo mission."

Kakashi and Kiba stared wide-eyed.

"Than you, Spot," the Hokage nodded. He disapeared.

"We need to go retrieve her!" 

"No," tsunade said standing up, causing Kakashi to stop. "She is to complete the mission. The info she gathers is crucial. No one is going after her-"

"She'll get killed!" Kakashi demanded angrily.

"Have a little more faith in your student!" Tsunade said angrily. "She's gone through powerful senseis, she's in the bingo book as an S-Ranked ninja, and she's a jounin here in Konoha. She can take care of herself, Kakashi."

Kakashi glared, but said nothing.

"You're right," Kiba finally said sadly. 

Kakashi and Kiba made their way out.

"I hope she's fine," Kakashi finally said sighing.

"I'm sure she is," Kiba said. "She is one of the stronges kunoichi's out there... She won't go down easily. I'm more worried about whoever stands in her way."

"But," Kakashi said thinking. "I'm afraid she might want to follow Sasuke's steps-"

"That'll never happen," Kiba assured strongly. "Akira is not like that. She'll come back."

Kakashi smiled a little.

"You're not so bad Kiba," he said after a while.

"Am I getting approval?" Kiba said hopefully.

"No," Kakashi said amused, while Kiba sluped depressed.
