The Akatsuki and the Hidden Leaf Village has a problem. Well. Two problems. Sisters from the Unknown Village. The Akatsuki is getting information passed to them about the Leaf from one sister, and the Leaf village is getting information passed to them about the Akatsuki from the other sister. However, they don't know, the two sisters are planning against them both.
Yadda, yah.

[TailsNyne]

((Yeah! x]))

James sat cross legged across from her older sister. She was in an Akatsuki coat. Finally, she had gotten in. It was easier for Neko. She sighed. "I didn't think it would be this easy." She muttered absently, looking into the darkened sky, to the full moon. "We're going to meet her once a week, right?"

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Yes." Replied Neko softly. "But remember, if at any point you think you're being followed don't come." Neko lectured. It must be somthing to do with being the oldest that caused her to lecture so, even if her sister probably allready knew.

[TailsNyne]

James gave a simple nod of understanding. "Right." She stood. Gently, she pulled the end of her coat down a little bit over her fishnet stockings. "You'll be alright?" She, of course, thought her sister was in alot more danger than she was. She could handle seven, eight people. But an entire village?

[SiriuslyRemus]

Neko nodded, "Yes, I'll be fine. Don't worry about me. I don't plan on being in any danger." She was not perhaps as co'cky as she'd like to appear, but she figured she'd be allright. She absently stroked the unnamed black cat, hereby TUBC, who sat in her lap. "Besides, I've got him," She indicated the cat. "He's an excelent watch cat." It was a joke, of course, but she was still not worried.

[TailsNyne]

James chuckled. "Very well." She muttered, stiffining her back. "I need to go. If they find out I'm gone, they'll come looking." She smiled gently, running her fingers through her green hair. "See you in seven days." She murmured.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Neko nodded, "Be carfull." She intoned, standing up and brushing the cat from her lap. She stared hard at her sister for a moment, as if looking for somthing, and then turned her gaze to the sky. "Make sure it's dark before you leave next time." She advised. And then suddenly the spot she had occupied was empty, she was gone.

[TailsNyne]

James chuckled. Sometimes Neko treated her like a child. "Don't worry. I will." She muttered to no one in particular. She trailed back quickly.

((Key. So. I'll play most the people from the Leaf Village, and you can play who ever you know from the Akatsuki.))

[SiriuslyRemus]

((I know most of their names, I just don't know anyones personality, so they'll probably all be OOC))
Neko re-appeared in the leaf village, in a small ally off of the main road. She quickly exited it heading onto the main road. She checked to make sure her new ANBU mask was in one of her over large pockets as she walked, headed for the hokage's office. With any luck she'd have an asignment when she arrived, she was very easily board.

[TailsNyne]

((That's fine.))

James sighed, appearing in the base. She hoped they were asleep. She sighed again. She doubted that. They were probably all awake.

Tsuande glanced up as she came in. She smiled. "Good. You're here." She stated, looking back down to her papers. "For now, I'm going to assing you a 'loose' team. One's a chunnin and one's a gennin, but I assure you, they're not to be taken lightly.

[SiriuslyRemus]

And they were. Well, most of them anyway. It seemed that not a single member of the Akatsuki was asleep. Several of them were waiting to ask James where she'd been.

"I'm sure I can handle it, Lady Tsunade." Neko replied, sketching out a loose bow to her. Despite her sure words she was frowning, well, at least she wouldn't be bored, but this hadn't exactly been what she had immagined.

[TailsNyne]

And James was ready to answer. "I haven't had coffee yet today. So screw off." She snapped angerily as she headed for the kitchen. The Akatsuki was suppose to be cold and ruthles (except hat Tobi person) and she wasn't about to look like some defencless girl.

Tsuande sighed, hearing the heavy foot steps outside. "That would be them." No longer than she had said so, did the brightly dressed boy jump through the door. A pink headed girl and a silver haired man followed in tow. "You wanted us?"

[SiriuslyRemus]

6 Pairs of eyes followed her. The other two that should be there were probably the two members still sleeping. "Where were you?" Intoned one.

Neko stared at them blankly. Hadn't the hokage said one jonin, and one chunin? She hoped this was a mistake, but it probably wasn't. Not with her luck anyway.

[TailsNyne]

"I told you to screw off." James snapped angerily, trying to figure out how to work the stove. She wasn't good with things like this. "Someone turn this thing on!"

"The blonde one is Naruto, he's the gennin, the pink one's Sakura, she's the chunnin and a medical nin, and the old one's Kakashi." Tsuande smiled broadly. Naruto looked to Neko. At least he wasn't the only one in acolor other than black and green. "Hi! I'm Uzimaki, Naruto!"

[SiriuslyRemus]

No one moved to help her. They all stared at her, perhaps trying to figure out what her problem was. "There's no need for the attitude." Grummbled Kisame, grudgingly standing from where the rest sat and turning on the stove.

"Cheshire, Neko." Neko introduced herself. She examined the group, the only one who looked half way compitent was Kakashi, the other two looked to her like little kids. "It's... a pleasure I'm sure."

[TailsNyne]

James smiled broadly. Okay. So. She was on the fine line between bi-polar and having Emotional ADHD. "Thank you, sharky-guy." She mewed, filling the pot with water and setting it on the flame.

Naruto looked back to Tsuande, waiting for whatever they were here for. Sakura glared at him. "I'm Sakura Hanuro." She smiled sofly. "I'm guessing she's our new team mate."

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Kisame." He corrected, sitting back down. Tobi ****ed his head, somthing was very strange about this girl.

Neko did not return her smiled, simply maintaining her frown. The black cat had followed her in and was curling itself about Kakashi's feet. "I suppose I am." Neko replied though she knew the question had been intended for the hokage.

[TailsNyne]

James looked toward Tobi, then back again. With her bright blue, almost pale eye, she searched the room. Any weak spots, she'd have to memorize. She clapped happily as he pot whistled.

Oh great. A cat. Kakashi looked down to his feet. Good thing he was wearing a mask, he was allergic to cats. "A bit odd, Hm, Tsuande? A gennin, a chunnin, a Jonnin, and an ANBU." He muttered, not looking from the cat. Tsuande shrugged. "Just how things work out."

[SiriuslyRemus]

Deidra((Is he still alive?)) Groaned, just what they needed, another Tobi. Itachi, who had untill now ignored her raised an eyebrow. Well, she was going to be... 'fun' to deal with.

"Yes, what exactly IS the perpose for such a motley crew, Lady Tsunade?" Neko asked curiosly. The cat lurched towords Neko for a moment, and then as if changing its mind went back to weaving about Kakashi's legs. Apperently it knew who least wanted it.

[TailsNyne]

((Yep.))

James easily poured herself a cup of hot water. From her bag, she empted a small pouch into the water. She turned and headed off again. "Kisame. Turn off the stove, please." She muttered, wandering aimlessly. Her left eye (pale) spung to search the place while he other remained straight forward.

"Just how things work out." Tsuande repeated, now paying them no attention. She was back to her work again. Kakashi inwardly groaned. He moved his foot slightly, trying to scare the cat. Move, stupid fur ball. "Something wrong, Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked absently.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Kisame did so without thought. The other members who were there continued to stare at her. All but Itachi who had looked away, apperently bored.

The corners of Neko's mouth twitched, as did her own bushy cats tail as she realized that Kakashi must not like cats. The small black cat however apperntly did not get the same message, as it continued winding around him. "Aw, he likes you." Neko mewled.

[TailsNyne]

"I'm guessing you guys have better things to do than stare at me all day." James smirked, glancing back at them before heading into Deidara's room. It seemed more interesting than he others. Yet again, she had eluded a 'where were you' question. She was lucky to have taken those acting lessons.

"It appears so, yes." Kakashi muttered, restraining the urge to kick the cat. Sakura chuckled slightly. "I didn't know you liked cat's, Kakashi-sensei."
"I don't."

[SiriuslyRemus]

Deidara followed, apperently to ensure that she wasn't going to mess anything up.

Neko's twitching lips turned into a full blown smile at that, and even broke into giggles as the cat tried to claw its way up Kakashi's pant leg. "Aw, you don't like cats?" She giggled. Her tail twitched under what could possibly be his nose, as she leaned down to pick up the cat, taking pitty on him.

[TailsNyne]

James touched nothing in particular. She simply sat on the bed, sipping her coffee. She watched him, with both eyes.

Kakashi's face made no movement, but the vibe he gave off was one of annoyment. His nose twitched under his mask. This would turn out great. Working with cats.

[SiriuslyRemus]

He watched her right back. "Why are you sitting on my bed?" He finnaly asked.

Neko continued giggling, though it was now more of a snigger. She held the struggling cat in her arms, stroking its head. "There. Now, lady hokage is there somthing in particular you'd like us to do?" Neko asked.

[TailsNyne]

"Why not?" James questioned right back. She over looked him. Basic robotic build up. Clay in his pockets, hand-mouths, large stitch on his torso.

"Nope." Came the simple responce.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Because it's mine." He said simply.

"Then why did you decide to put us together?" She asked. She was bored again. So much for thinking she wouldn't be. She glared down at the cat, who was currently knawing at her hand leaving little bloody pinpricks all over it.

[TailsNyne]

"Good reason Three-mouth." James muttered, picking herself up and leaving. He was no fun. She stalked off again, trying to find something interesting.

"No reason." Tsuande shrugged. They didn't understand the concept she was trying to tell them. "I'm busy. Leave." She finally told them. Naruto didn't have to be told twice. He wanted to start training. Kakashi sighed, following with Sakura behind him.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Deidara!" He yelled muttering under his breath as he closed his door. "Hmmphmmm Now Tobi... Mmph muffle, stupid woman."

Neko shrugged and followed the group, dropping the cat who quickly sped up to walk beside Kakashi. Neko's gaze appeared to be glued to the cealing as she walked, apperently she was very interested in some pattern she found there.

[TailsNyne]

James didn't bother. She wasn't going to be here for more than a couple weeks. She explored a bit further. "This place sucks."

Kakashi looked down to the cat, then back again with his same dull expression. Naruto looked up to where Neko was looking. "What'cha looking at?" He questioned rather loudly.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Get over it." Somone replied. Slowly several of them started filing from the room. "Come on, we're stuck with you." Kisame said, gesturing for Jame's to follow himself and Itachi.

"The roof." She said as if that were a completly normal thing. She appeared not to be paying attention to where she was walking, however she wasn't hitting walls or anything.

[SiriuslyRemus]

((Hello?))

[TailsNyne]

James followed simply. Okay. Techniquially, she was stuck with them, but whatever. She looked up to Kisame, then to Itachi. "For a bunch of 'killers', you all look werid." She muttered abently.

Naruto, however, did not. Upon leaving, he smacked into the door frame. Sakura looked quiet annoyed. "Get up, Baka." Kakashi was still watching the cat, trying to mentally tell it to leave him alone.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Itachi glared at her. Kisame bore his huge teeth, but didn't respond. "I think I'm going to grow to hate you." Itachi said coolly.

The cat walked closer to Kakashi's feet. Neko sniggered at Naruto, "It takes a while to get a hang of not looking where you're going." She said, more good naturedly than earlier. Apperently she had a bit of difficulty deciding on a mood.

[TailsNyne]

James smirked. "You should. I'm going to be the one that drives you to your death." She smiled, as if she were kidding.

"That means it will take twice as long for you, Naruto." Sakura mumbled, headed out. Kakashi glared madly down at the cat. Stupid animal.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Itachi snorted, "I highly doubt that." He said.

If cats could smirt, the cat would have. Neko, however, could smirk, and did.

[TailsNyne]

"We'll see, in the end." James looked back to Kisame. "Where are we going anyways?"

For a single second, Kakashi seem to have snapped. "Now it's taunting me!" Then it was gone, a if nothing had happened. First Naruto. Now a cat. Who's next?

[SiriuslyRemus]

"To see just what you can do." Kisame replied. "We're allmost there."

"It's a cat, it doesn't have the capasity to taunt anyone. " Neko said, though she thought the cat probably was taunting him. "Where are we going?"

[TailsNyne]

James snickered slightly. This was way too easy. She had to wonder if it was this easy for Neko, too. "Right."

"Training." Kakashi answered simply, now trying to ignor the cat.

[SiriuslyRemus]

They came upon a wide open space, very feild like. Kisame and Itachi both stopped here, standing roughly in the middle of it.

"Ah." Neko responded simply. "But where are we going? Are we allmost there or what?"

[TailsNyne]

James trailed up behind the, her pale eye wizzing around to examine every inch of it. "Now what?"

"Training." Kakashi repeated, glancing back at her slightly. "Almost."

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Now, you show us what you can do." Itachi said as if it was obviouse. "You didn't think we were going to show you OUR power level did you? We need to make sure you're worth keeping around, otherwise we might as well just kill you and be done with it."

"Oh never mind." Said Neko with a sigh. "So, how long have you been together as a team?" She asked, as said before, she was very easlily bored.

[TailsNyne]

James gave a simple chuckle. "Fine. I'll play along. What do you want me to do?" This was a joke, to her. Nothing worth taking seroiuse.

Naruto, now holding his head, responded. "Ever since the acadameny!" Sakura sighed. "Roughly three years." She muttered, detailing Naruto.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Itachi pointed to a few spots in the woods around them, "Do you see the targets?" Each was attatched to a small training dummy. "Just obliterate them however you see fit."

Neko nodded, "A long time." She said absently.

[TailsNyne]

James held in the urge to laugh. Which, luckily, worked fairly well. "Satsu Metsuki." She activated her kekki genkki. It wasn't nesicerry, but it was fastest. "Honoo." Her pale eye, now dark red and navy blue, found each target and ignited it on fire.

Naruto nodded rapidly in agreement. "Yeah."

[SiriuslyRemus]

Itachi and Kisame exchanged a look, it was hard to tell whether it was approval, or bordem. However they apperently approved as neither said anything to the contrary.

"Are we there YET?" Asked Neko impatiently.

[TailsNyne]

"Come on, Sharky, Weasle. You have to have something actually worth my time." James glanced up at the two. They were taller than her, which was starting to bug her.

"Hm. Yeah." Kakahi was watching the cat again. "What are we doing today, Kakashi-sensei!?" Naruto was the first to ask. "I dunno. Go spar or something." Or get the cat.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Allright..." Said Kisame apperently thinking. Itachi looked bored, as if he didn't care to be here. "Well, try to attack me." Kisame suggested. He figured that she wouldn't be hard to fend off, after all, she was a girl.

Was he kidding? He must be kidding. Spar? "What kind of leader are you supposed to be?" She asked incredulesly. Besides, there was no way she was going to spar against a gening and or chunin.

[TailsNyne]

James c'ocked an eye brow. Man these people really were stupid. "If you insist." She murmured, drawing several kunia. She threw them harshly toward him, two of them heading straiht for him and the other two missing.

"Why? Are you afraid of being kicked around by a gennin?" Kakashi glanced up slightly, then back down.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Kisame avoided them relativly easliy. He was probably allready underestimating her. "Kuni? Unorigenal."

"Why, do you think your gennin COULD kick me around?" She questioned, raising an eyebrow.

[TailsNyne]

James smirked, simply looking up at him. "So? You're still to stupid to dodge them all." Forming a boar sign with one hand. "Reflect." The two that missed, bounced off the air and came back around, twice as fast.

"Actually, yes, yes I do." Kakashi answered simply. "I'm almost positive Naruto could kick you around." Naruto was too hard headed to know when he lost. Even when he ended up vitally hurt and bleeding, he out stood any oppent.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Kisame did just that without thinking about it, drawing his sword out to reflect the kunie upon their return. "Not bad, for a girl." He said with a toothy smirk. Then again, there wasn't much he did that WASN'T toothy.

"Allright, let's see then. Are you up to it?" Neko chalenged, looking at Naruto. She had heard about him, and about the demon fox, she wouldn't push hard enough to meet that, though, just see what he had, after all, it could be usefull information.

[TailsNyne]

James simply smirked. She hadn't expected to hit him, she wasn't planning to, either. It was a diverson. At least she knew his main weapon. She pointed to his feet where the black and red vines were creeping, now, over his knees. "I have two main Jutsu attacks. This one, and my blood limit. I should tell you now, those vines with suck your chakra untill there's none left. Then, they'll continue to grow to your shoulders, and constrick you." She chuckled slightly. "And if you still won't give up, you'll be pierced by two foot thorns."

Naruto smiled broadly. "Yeah!" Sakura sighed lightly. He was so hyper active. Kakashi finally sat, in the grass, and picked up the cat. "I guess you're no that bad." He muttered, mostly to himself as he stroked the cat's back.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Kisame chopped at the vines with his sword, expecting them to break. Instead they appeared to have some sort of strange counter affect with said sword, small sparks of what could only be chakera fizzling in the air. "Allright, allright, call them off." He said. He didn't want to try to hard to be rid of them, he wasn't willing to show anymore of his attacks off.

Neko laughed at Kakashi, then turned back to Naruto, "Allright, ready when you are." She said, moving closer to the center of the feild so that no loose attacks would hit Sakura or Kakashi by accident. The cat was arching its back in Kakashi's hand, purring loudly.

[TailsNyne]

James did not do so. She smirked devilishly. "I don't like demands." She stated easily. He'd been treating her badly since she got here. "Now what was 'not bad for a girl'?"

Naruto followed. He faced her, one arm extended and pointing at her. "Ready when you are!" Kakashi seemed to smile under his mask, ever so slightly. Nice kitty. Actually. Now that he thoguht about it, the cat looked like that one from a very long time ago. He had to take another path and it mde him late. Oh well.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Just release me." He growled, he didn't have the patience to deal with annoying little girls. "And I meant your attach with the kunie." He would at least indulge her in that respect, he decided. "Now let me loose." He wasn't much worried about his chakera, but he didn't much fancy death by strangulation, especially by vines.

She nodded, smiling. Enthusiastic little bugger at least. She did not even drop into a stance, merely waiting. She was ready to, however she wanted to appear loose for the moment.

((Yes, the cat now gets a paragraph break :P )) The cat continued purring. It was probably not the same cat, but it was hard to tell. After all, this was one cat that got around.

[TailsNyne]

"What's the magic word?" Oh this would be fun. Very, very fun. James smild broadly. She was a girl, and, yes, she could be playful and unserouise at times, but she was deadly and wasn't going to be ordered around by walking sushi. Her pale eye spun back to watch Itachi. He'd been quiet.

Naruto took no time in starting. He was too excited to think of anything else and lunged at her head on with a kunia. Liek thew way he'd first attacked Kakashi. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he knew it wouldn't work.

((Lucky cat. It took me months to get one of those. xD))
Well. At least he wouldn't have to fight the thing. Kakashi paid his students no attention. He was busy making a mental note to pick up allergy medication (and petting the cat).

[SiriuslyRemus]

Kisame growled angrily, slashing at the vines again to the same affect. "Fine, please." He growled. He was more willing to give up his pride this way than by finding out what ELSE might be unaffective against the vines.

Neko tried not to laugh. She failed. She grabbed his wrist, spinning him around so that his back was to her and pushing him forward with her other hand. She ordinarily probably would have kicked him in the butt, but at the moment she was being nice. "Sloppy aproach." ((Yes, I'm godmoding, sue me.))

The cat twirled around, turning circles in his lap before settling down, yellowing eyes glowing up at Kakashi before it turned away as if to watch the fight.

[TailsNyne]

"Now say it like you mean it." James demanded, a grin painted on her face. She'd break them and she'd get the information she needed. And this was the perfect place to start.

The Naruto vanished in a poof of smoke. Kay, now he was going to he seroiuse, hopefully. He made several shadow clones.

Kakashi smiled down at the cat before also turning to watch Naruto. Then he decieded against watching the little blonde be beat black and blue and opened his book.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Kisame growled again. If Itachi were one to look amused, which he wasn't, he would have at that moment. However, he did not, he merely continued to observe, silent as before. "Please." Kisame repeated, trying to sound as sincere as possible despite being rather angry at this prediciment.

Neko raised and eyebrow, "Shadow clones?" She looked around herself, remaining in the same possition as before, not leaving the spot in the center of the feild. At the moment, she would just remain on the defensive, Naruto appeared to be enough ofence for the both of them.

The cat clawed at his chest, apperently trying to climb its way up his shirt, a bit as if it wanted to read his book with him. He mewed angrily at his lack of sucess, settling down once more.

[TailsNyne]

"Now that wasn't so hard, was it?" James snickered slightly, watching the vines pull back into the ground. "Are we done yet? I'm hungry." She looked to Itachi. She still had some respect for him.

The Naruto's all attakced her at once, each holding a handful of kunia. Simple enough.

Kakashi let out a low chuckle, lifting it up and gently resting it on his shoulder. He was starting to like this cat.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Kisame glared at her. Itachi simply shrugged, "Fine." He said, turning to leave. Kisame stared at his back but didn't argue. He didn't much fancy another humiliation anyway.

She pulled out her own kunie, swinging about in a strange circle to defend herself from the many Naruto. She wasn't wasting chakera yet.

The cat purred again happily, licking his finger with a sandpapery tongue.

[TailsNyne]

James trailed after him, smiling to herself. She was already annoying them. Purposely, she clung to Kisame's arm. Now came her act. "I ish sorrwie. But I only did what you told me to. You told me to show you what I could do and I did."

Then all was silent. Enough to make Sakura look up from her nails. Where'd he go, now?

Kakashi chuckled again. "Affectionate little thing, aren't you?"

[SiriuslyRemus]

Kisame merely glared at her. Whether she'd done what he'd told her to or not he had been humiliated and wasn't going to let it go lightly. Besides, it had been Itachi, not he who had really wanted to come out here in the first place. Kisame suspected he had been looking for an excuse to kill the girl. Right now Kisame would like one to mutilate her.

Neko looked around a bit surprised. The one thing she hated about the shadow clones was the ammount of smoke they made, hard to see through.

The cat purred happily and mewled as if in answer, licking him again as if to say, 'why yes, I am. And you were going to kick me earlier.' ((I think the cat's my new favorite charecter XD))

[TailsNyne]

James didn't let go. She clung on tighter. "Kisame." She mewed, innocently. "Stop being mad at me or I'll hide your clothes across the base and embrase you in front of the entire Akatsuki." She was kidding, of course.

It wa risky, but he went with it. Out of the smoke, Naruto came crashing through with a ball of chakra.

Kakashi shrugged one shoulder slighty. "So? I didn't, did I?"

[SiriuslyRemus]

Kisame stared at her in disbeliefe, how did she go from being such an angry you-know-what this morning, to a dangerouse apponent, to this? She was sort of begining to remind him more of Zetsu than of Tobi. "Humph." He replied. "I'll be mad at whomever I want to."

Neko rolled out of the way, a bit surprised by the attack. The fact that he was able to weild such a thing was amazing, and at a genin level? She popped back to her feet, this time into a real stance. Allright, a bet less play then. She smiled, well, this might be fun. She dissapeared into the smoke, laughing at her own plan.

The cat mrowed, blinking up at him with large yellow eyes. 'Well,' it seemed to say, 'you're a nut, talking to a cat.'

[TailsNyne]

James was starting to get annoyed with him, even if it didn't show. "Itachi-san, what would happen with Kisame was to suddenly dissappear without wa trace?"

Naruto growled at himself. He was so stupid. He should have known that wouldn't work. He pulled his hand out the crater in the ground and looked around to find her. This wasn't good.

Kakashi thought for a moment. "That is true." He muttered, touching its head gently. "I've seen werider."

[SiriuslyRemus]

"You would likely dissappear right behind him, I wouldn't try it." Itachi replied, allmost amused, but not quite. After all, Itachi didn't get amused. Kisame glared at her again, "Let go." He said.

A leg appeared from nowhere, it was smoky enough that Neko could use this trick. It appeared right behind Naruto, quite silently, cutting up fast, heading to kick him in the butt.

The cat purred at him happily, flickering his tail aboutl.

[TailsNyne]

James smirked slightly. She doubted it. Either way, she released Kisame. "Fine."

Naruto blinked madly. As quickly as he could, he attempted to move out the way. He couldn't. Sakura winced slightly. And Kakashi was actually letting Naruto be beat up like this.

Kakashi chuckled slightly, gently touching the cat's tail.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Kisame looked releaved for a second, then quickly forced his face blank. Itachi's remained blank, but he would definatly be amused, if he could be.

Neko giggled from somwhere, the leg dissapeareing as quickly as it had appeared. She hadn't kicked him hard, just hard enough to knock him over. "Consider that payment for that little chakera ball there." She said from somwhere amongst the trees.

The cat twitched its tail away quickly, then twitched it back towards Kakashi's fingers, teasing him.

[SiriuslyRemus]

((If you'd like me to try to redo this one with a bit more opportunity for you to do somthing lemme know, I didn't leave it ver open ended...))

[TailsNyne]

((Please do. I'm having a hard time respond. Sorry.))

[SiriuslyRemus]

((That's ok. I'll fix it.))
"So, what exactly brings you to our orginisation?" Asked Kisame. She was not the usual for the Akatsuki. "You're a bit outside the usuall clientell."

Neko giggled from somwhere, the leg dissapeareing as quickly as it had appeared. "Consider that payment for that little chakera ball there." She said, re-appearing from amoung the trees, not wanting to use too much of her blood-limit. She stood a bit off to the side, waiting for him to attack.

The cat twitched its tail away quickly, then twitched it back towards Kakashi's fingers, teasing him. Wanting him to chase it. ((Any better?))

[TailsNyne]

((Yeah.^^ Thanks.))

James glared at him. "That's my bussniess, isn't it?" She snapped angerily. She mentally cursed herself. She'd ave to think of a good reason later on.

Naruto looked around wildly. Where'd she go, where'd she go. If he could only find her, he'd have an open shot. What had Kakashi gotten him into, this time?

Kakashi, for the first time in his life, set his book aside to play with the cat. "Silly, little, thing."

[SiriuslyRemus]

"It's our buisness too, if you're going to be on our team." Kisame said. "So why don't you just tell us and get it over with, so I don't have to keep asking."

Neko leaned against a tree, waiting for him to see her, she was right behind him, as soon as he turned around he'd spot her.

The cat flicked his hand quickly, making a sound like a tiny tiger.

[TailsNyne]

"Then you can keep asking." James snapped, not glaring at him with her one, pale eye. The other faced forward, watching where she was going.

Kakashi chuckled, picking up the cat and carrying it off. "Good job, you two. Go treat yourself to some raman or something." He muttered absently, walking off with the cat.

"Kakashi-sensei! You're not going to leave us now, are you?!" Naruto yelled after him. "We haven't even finished!" Sakura sighed. "Just keep fighting, Naruto."

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Why'd you join us?" Kisame asked, follwing her 'instructions'. "Why? Why? Why?" Is appeared that onyl a short while with her he was picking up annoying traights. Then again, he didn't want to fight her again, and so this was a quicker way to hopfully get the information he wanted.

The cat purred happily, clawing playfully at him.

"You better bring him back, he's my gaurd cat you know!" Shouted Neko, wondering why exactly KAkashi was carrieing her cat away. "As for you, are you going to attack me or what?" She asked Naruto.

[TailsNyne]

James glared at him harder. "I just got here. If you piss me off, I will tear off you hands and hang you upside down untill your sking turns white."

Kakashi waved back simply in a 'yeah, yeah, whatever' way. Then he went back to petting it.

Naruto sighed deeply. His sensei was so lazy. He turned around to face Neko again. "Why wouldn't I?!" And again, he charged at her.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"An interesting threat." Kisame said. "But empty." He sais in a chalenging voice. Itachi gave him a strange look, "Do yourself a favour and shut up. I don't need to deal with two of her." He said.

Neko side stepped, holding a kunie straight out so that if he couldn't turn around fast enough his own momentum would run him into it. "Because, despite your great enthusiasm, you're going to get yourself beaten black and blue." She said.

[TailsNyne]

He wished. James snorted slighty. He'd have a surprise when he woke up one morning with no hands. "Do yourself a favor, and listen to him."

Naruto hit the ground, again. He growled at himself. He took the kunia and chuckled it backwards toward her.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Kisame glared at them both as if they were ganging up on him and huffily fell silent. "Well, it looks like we'll soon be able to resume our mission." Said Itachi, if possible he might look pleased, it was hard to tell.

She deflected it with her own. She had apperntly gotten way to used to sparring with her sister, never dodge, it might come back. "You know, if you were to actually, I don't know, have a strategy, it would be ten times easier for you." Neko said. She vanished again, this time only for a few seconds, reappearing directly behind Naruto, kunie in hand. She was very close to him, which she knew was probably not a smart move, but she was quickly getting bored with this fight. She aimed the kunie backwards at the back of his head, hoping to knock him unconciouse.

[SiriuslyRemus]

((*Edited post Beacause she changed her mind about somthing*))

[TailsNyne]

"And what would that be?" James glanced up at Itachi slightly. At least Kisame was quiet.

Saddly, Naruto could not dodge. He fell forward. Sakura sighed deeply. That was Naruto for you.

((Sorry. Writers block.))

[SiriuslyRemus]

"A thing that one intends to do." Itachi was being sarcastic of course, defining plan. Kisame smiled, happy to have Itachi 'on his side' again.

Neko sighed and squated down, wanting to be sure he was A) actually knocked out and B) Not dead

((That's ok. I'm a bit blocked myself.))

[TailsNyne]

"And what would be that thing that one intends to do, cosidering that one was you?" James shot back, grinning. She could, and would outsmart him.

Sakura walked forward, looking down a Naruto. "He'll be fine." She muttered with a sigh. He did stupid things like this all the time. "He didn't take it seroiusely."

[SiriuslyRemus]

"That, as I'm said, is called a plan. If that one is my, then it is also called, my plan. However that one is not me, so it is Leader's plan." Itachi said, he certainly wouldn't allow her to get the better of him, He was Uchiha Itachi, after all.

Neko shrugged, "Neither did I." She said, as if that were a perfectly normal thing. For her it was, she rarely took anything seriously. She poked Naruto, "Wake up." She said, pokinf him again.

[TailsNyne]

"You plan is not of your thoughts. There for it is not your plan. The thing tht one intends on doing is that thought of by another, yet told to you, there for, you are the reciever of the plan and as the reciever of the plan, I ask again, what is thy plan?" There was a taunting look in James' eyes. They'd end up depending on her, one day. That day when their base is located by the Leaf Village, after, of course, Neko tells them where it is.

Sakura gave a shrug of agreement. "You don't wake him up like that." She stated simply. She smacked him with a heafty stick. "You do it like this."

[SiriuslyRemus]

"The plan is to do somthing, as most plans are." He said. Well, if he just had to be vauge he'd just be vauge, after all, he had no idea what she'd just said.

Neko laughed, "I think I'm going to like you." She said, poking Naruto again. "But I'm not trying to wake him up, I just like poking people." She said, shrugging.

[TailsNyne]

She was getting him, she knew by the simple responce. "Of course, all plans are planned to plan something, but that plan of which I'm asking of you, the reciver of the plan, should know the specifiecs of the plan. So, Mr. Uchiha, what are the specifies of the plan?"

"Then you're doing a good job." Sakura chuckled slightly. Naruto opened one eye, rubbing the back of his head. "That hurt."

[SiriuslyRemus]

"The specifics of any plan are details with which we understand why were are planning and exicuting said plan. " He said, at least understanding her this time.

"You should have been paying more attention." Neko shrugged, poking him again.

[TailsNyne]

"Itachi, I'll save you some time and a major headache, you're not going to out smart me." James warned, looking up at him. "Tell me what I want to know and I willleave you alone. Or do you even know?"

Naruto glared at her. "Stop that." He demanded. Okay, so he was rarely one to get annoyed, but poking woudl annoy anyone.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"I know. I'm not telling you untill I'm sure you're supposed to know." Said Itachi, he had actually intended to tell her, now he was just trying to be annoying. But he'd never tell her that. Or anyone else for that matter.

"Why?" Asked Neko, tilting her head to the side. She poked him again.

[TailsNyne]

James rolled her eyes. "Is the mighty, killer Uchiha afraid of some minor consenqences?" She chuckled, almost in a taunting way.

"Because it's annoying." Naruto insisted, grabbing her finger.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Who said anything about minor consiquences?"

She shook her hand to get out of his grip, "Fine." She huffed. "Where on earth did that sensei of yours go?"

[TailsNyne]

"Sounds to me you're afraid that if I'm not suppose to know and you tell me you'll be punished."

Sakura muttered something under her breath. Naruto shrugged. "I dunno. He does that often."

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Nope." He said. "I'm not afraid of anything. I just don't want to tell you untill you need to know, which you don't."

"Well, he took my cat." She said, standing up. ((Going to bed, 'night.))

[TailsNyne]

James shook her head slightly and sighed, but she said nothing more. The weaker they thougt she was, the better.

Naruto flung himself up as well. "Then let's look for him!"

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Here we are." They were back at the base.

"Allright." Said Neko, "Where does he usually go?"
((I've got awfull writers block, sorry.))

[TailsNyne]

James gave a simple shrug. So? She stalked in before them and down the halls at random. Anything to keep her busy.

"We don't know." Naruto and Sakura muttered togeather.

[SiriuslyRemus]

They happily ignored her, going their own ways.

"Hm, a mystery." Neko said. "Well then, we have two choices, follow him, or wait for him to release my cat at some point. That cat allways comes back." The last part was mostly to herself.

((Would you like to timeskip forword a bit? We can photoshop in whatever other information we need them to exchange back and fourth.))

[TailsNyne]

((Yeah. x] Good idea. To when?))

[SiriuslyRemus]

((The sisters next meeting? I don't know, I feel like their should be somthing else in between, but it's hard when our charecters aren't interacting.))

[TailsNyne]

((Yesh. >> This is newt one of Tails good ideas. >< . . . Erm. Wanna try an new plot? Same Charries?))

[SiriuslyRemus]

((Sure. Sorry, I like the plot idea, it'd be good with mulitple people. And better if I knew more about the Akatsuki *Scratches back of neck*))

[TailsNyne]

((Don't worry. xD I haven't watched that far, either.
So. Nurm. Any ideas?))

[SiriuslyRemus]

((Um... Not really... I'll think about it, but I'm a bit blank...))

[TailsNyne]

((So am I, saddy. Well, I have spring break, so I'll have loads of ideas by tomarrow. ^^))

[SiriuslyRemus]

((Ooo, I had an idea. What about this-
They should be enemies, but they couldn’t be. They were sisters. When one appears in the leaf village after a long time with the Akatsuki, what will the other, an ANBU do? Why has the first returned? What kind of plot are the two involved in? Will the rest of the village learn to trust the first, or distrust the second? How will they survive the prejudice? And how will they survive being stuck training with team 7?))

[TailsNyne]

((. . . ._. Where have you been hiding that idea?
Yeah! I lub it!))

[SiriuslyRemus]

((LOL, I've been hiding it in a lock box with my old and failed ideas, in the back closet of my brain, where the dust bunnies live. I'm glad you like it :) ))

[TailsNyne]

((You should clean that out, sometime. xD))
((Shall you or I start?))

[SiriuslyRemus]

((I should. However if I did it would take me days, and then I'd have to write down all the ideas and charecters stuck there. Then I'd be so busy, I wouldn't be able to RP with you.))
((I don't care much either way, but it allmost requires you to start, since obviously you're the Akatsuki member who has to show up.))

[TailsNyne]

((Good point. Leave the clutter alone! ^^))
((Key.))

James wearily stepped into the village. It felt werid and as if she were naked, without her akatsuki coat on. And without her woven hat, the sun hit her head like water from a hose. Her steps were careful an cautious. She'd been able to fix her headband, thou there were still marks on it, enough to get her into the village. She didn't expect to stay long before someone recongized her and tried to drag her off.

[SiriuslyRemus]

The sun was too hot, Neko decided. If she had any choice, she would be inside right now. However Neko did not have any choice, as she was on patrol along the village parameter. She looked over and caught James in her peripheral vision. She did a double take, sure it couldn't be who she thought it was. Quickly she jumped down from the wall on which she was perched, heading towards her.

[TailsNyne]

James' pale eye immediatly spotted her older sister, Neko, coming toward her. "Lookie, lookie." She mewed, turning to face her. She smiled, trying her best to be kind. "Long time no see." She raised her hands in greeting, and also to show she held no weapons.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"And for good reason. What the hell are you doing here, Hisou?" She used her real name. She wanted perfect indication that this was seriouse, and she wasn't playing around. Neko really wished that she could be happy to see her sister. Instead she had her hand in a pocket, prepared to pull out a kunie. Her eyes didn't stray from her sisters hands either.

[TailsNyne]

"Oh, come on now, Neko." James didn't move from her spot, her hands still in the air. Her eye watched the hand in Neko's bag while her other continued to smile at her. "I've come from the Akatsuki," After a long arguement with Leader. "And I can tell you exacally where they are." Her smile turned to a smirk. "Now take me to your Hokage."

[SiriuslyRemus]

((Her other hand is smiling? :P))
There had to be some kind of catch to this. "Why are you suddenly willing to give us this kind of information?" She asked, not moving to take her anywhere near the hokage. "There's no way you just suddenly decided to give up life with the Akatsuki, they let you go, and now you're going to tell us where they are."

[TailsNyne]

((x] I didn't mean it like that. I ment one eye was watching Neko's hand and the other was 'smiling' at her. Personicfication.))

"And how do you know it was sudden?" James mewed back. She wasn't too worried. The Leaf Village wasn't exacally harsh when it came to 'stangers'. If you could call her that. Especailly if she cold help. "I do expect something in return, though."

[SiriuslyRemus]

((Aha, you'd just been talking about hands though. XD))
"Fine, I'll take you to the hokage. But you might as well tell me what you want while we're on our way." She said grudgingly. It wasn't nerely as suspiciouse if she wanted somthing back. "And how isn't it sudden?"

[TailsNyne]

((Was I? xD Opps.))

"Immunity. I'll tell her wht she wants, and she let's me go free." James shoved her hands into her pockets. "Oh, I've been thinking about this for a while." She mewed smiling again. "Why? You haven't missed me?"

[SiriuslyRemus]

((I take it back. I misread, you were talking about her eyes. MY bad.))
Neko snorted, "Missed you?" It was hard to tell whether the question was genuine or not. "What makes you want to turn over back to our side?" She didn't want to answer the question. Of course she'd missed her. James was her sister, she missed her no matter how angry she had been when she'd left.

[TailsNyne]

James simply shrugged. "I was getting bored. You know me, once I get bored, I have to find somethin else to do." She chuckled, putting her hands on her head. "I missed you, anyhow."

[SiriuslyRemus]

She nodded, she didn't want to reply, nor did she honestly know how. They were just outside of the Holage's office now. "Wait here." She instucted. "I'll see if she's availible."

[TailsNyne]

Out of habit, James took a step after her. She was use to ignoring demands like that. Hesiantly, she took a step back and waited. This would take some getting use to.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Neko shot her a venomouse glare as she stepped forward, before quickly slipping inside the office. A few minutes later she re-emerged onto the street. "Allright, follow me." She said, turning around to head back inside, though keeping onw eye on James.

[TailsNyne]

James simply smirked. Accidents happened. Easily, she slinked in after Neko. This felt even worse. The weigh of the room heavy on her shoulders. She grunted. She'd have to find a coat once she was done here.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Neko knocked respectfully on the door, waiting for a responce. She stood straighter and taller than usuall out of habit, she was in 'work mode' currently. ((Will you play the hokage or should I?))

[TailsNyne]

James, however, was not. The only person she'd respect was Leader. Then she had to remind herself she was there anymore. This was harder than she thought. Even so, she did not try to stand like Neko.

((Um. . . I think you should. Makes more scense.))

[SiriuslyRemus]

(('t does.))
"Come in." Said Tsunade, irritable sounding as allways. Neko opened the door, gesturing for James to go first. Tsunade sat at her desk, partailly hidden behind a huge stack of paperwork. "What do you want?" She asked. "There's somone here to speak to you, Lady hokage." Neko said. She didn't bother bowing, she doubted that Tsunade'd see it around all of the paperwork anyway.

[TailsNyne]

James lifted one hand to greet her. "Yo." She could see through the papers, with one eye, so she knew who she was talking to. Well, sorta. Apperently her name was Tsuande and that was her.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Who are you? What do you want?" Tsunade barked. Neko merely stood, not looking at all surprised by this reaction.

[TailsNyne]

"Hisou Ritoru Neesan." She jerked her head toward Neko. "I'm her younger sister." James smiled broadly. "They call me James. Either way, you probably don't know me. Sarutobi would." She smirked slightly. "Maybe you'll remember this," She bared her teeth, as if angered, and flared her nose. "Get the Kyuubi!" Okay, so she'd chased Naruto more than once.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Tsunade shook her head. "No, don't remember you. Why are you here?" She asked. "Cut to the chase, I havn't got all day." She added. She scribbled busily on a peice of paper work.

[TailsNyne]

James sighed. She didn't think so. "I'm part of the Akatsuki." She said simply, shrugging.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"What?!" SHe shouted, standing up quickly. "Why are you in here?" She asked. "why did you bring her here?" She demanded of Neko. "She said she was... leaving them, I suppose, she wanted to tell you where they were." Neko said, calmly as she could.

[TailsNyne]

"See! You remembered me." James smiled broadly, as if she had accomplished something. "I left the Akatsuki, about, hum, I dunno, a week ago before coming here." She shrugged again.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"What do you want in return for that information?" Tsunade asked. Immediatly she was suspiciouse.

[TailsNyne]

"Immunity." James answered simply. "I want none of your little ninja's near my home, or trying to attack me. Nor do I expect to get the death sentance for whatever I did in the Akatsuki. I'm a Leaf Ninja, again."

[SiriuslyRemus]

"I'll give you immunity IF and only IF your information turns out to be valid. Not a moment before. Untill we varify, consider youself on official probation. Give me the information." Geeze did Tsunade have a way of rushing things.

[TailsNyne]

James co'cked a brow. Yeah, right. She snorted. "Fine, but if your ninja attack me, I will no be responicable for their deaths." She stated simply before pulling a scroll from her bag. She handed it toward Tsuande. "Every last detail to where the base is. But don't expect them to go down easily."

[SiriuslyRemus]

"I don't." Tsunade said. "Allright, Neko, you will stick with her and make sure the message gets out that I have given her immunity, temporarily at least." Tsunade ordered. NEko looked angry about it for whatever reason, but nodded. "Of course, Lady Hokage."

[TailsNyne]

James smirked slightly and wrapped her arm around Neko. "We're toeather again!" She smiled broadly. She knew she'd end up getting on Neko's nerves.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Neko tried to shurg her off. "Don't touch me." She was still very angry that James had left in the first place. "Let's get somthing straight, I don't like you. Sister or not, you betrayed this village and I'm not as forgiving as some." She said coldly. She wasn't usually cold. She was just really P*ssed.

[TailsNyne]

James simply shrugged. "Fine. Be like that." She crossed her arms over her chest, looking back toard Tsuande, then back again. "I'm going." She stated, alreadywalkign out. She didn't like the feel of the room, at all.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Neko followed, much as she didn't want to. She really didn't want to be stuck with this job, and she was still suspiciouse. "Why did you decide to come back?"

[TailsNyne]

James gave a simple shrug. "Why not?"

[SiriuslyRemus]

"That's not an answer." Neko replied. "It's a question." She added, for no real reason. "you do realize you're probably going to spend the rest of your ninja career doing desk work right?"

[TailsNyne]

"Still as sharp as ever, Neko-chan." James purred, looking toward her with one eye. She shrugged again. "I don't even know if I'm going to stay here. Maybe go down to the Sound Village. Besides, that information is less than invailed. By now, they've probably moved." She sighed. This, most likely, wouldn't well.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Neko hadhonestly figured that would be the case. "Tsunade is going to slauter you." She said. "And me for letting you in here in the first place." She said. "You plan on leaving for the sound village? Can you never pick the right side to be on in things?"

[TailsNyne]

"I know. But I've been threatened more times than you could count." And it had been true. She wasn't a light sleeper and usually was awaken by varoise threats. James chuckled. "Techniquially, the guards let me in. You just lead me to her office. There is no righ side. I simply go where the wind takes me."

[SiriuslyRemus]

She shook her head, "You haven’t changed a bit do you know that?" She said accusatorially. Neko tried to figure out if she herself had changed. It just seemed right that after this much time somone should change at least a bit.

[TailsNyne]

"Yeah. I know. And that's the best thing about it." James let out a short mrrw of laughter. "I need somewhere to stay. Is that old oak tree still up, at the bridge? I can stay there, for now."

[SiriuslyRemus]

"I... think so. I havent' been around there lately. Allot of trees were lost recently, but I suppose it could be there." Neko said thoughtfully. She was trying to remember if she'd seen it. She was CERTAINLY not going to invite James to stay with her.

[TailsNyne]

"Good." Jams wasn't really trying to get her to offer. She had gotten use to sleeping outside. Neko was partly right. She hadn't changed with her personality. But physically, she was stronger tougher, ready to spring on last second notice. Her mind was like a computer. A problem solver was what she had become. "What are you up to, anyways?"

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Allot of work." She said. "And training." Neko had spent most of her time training, she hadn't had many long missions. Instead she had spent time finding sparring partners, which was difficult as most of the jonin were on missions lately. She half looked forward to having James around, perhaps if she did prove not to be a threat she would be willing to spar with Neko? Hm, and intersting thought, sparring with a previouse Akatsuki member.

[TailsNyne]

James had barely noticed. She was busy looking around the village as they walked. It had changed so much. Suddenly, she jumped back, hissing angerily. A boy, who she recgonized as Naruto (Who wouldn't in an orange jumpsuit?), and a pink headed girl ran past.

((Who'd you want to play? xD Should have asked first.))

[SiriuslyRemus]

((Um... I don't really care. I can play anyone I suppose. Though I'd prefer not to play Kakashi. You've seen how bad I am at him :) ))
"Leave him be, the hokage rather likes him, you'd best not make her angry." Neko said. "She'd going to be angry enough if and when they've moved." The they was obviouse enough that she didn't think she needed to elaborate.

[TailsNyne]

((You weren't that bad. ^^ I'll play Kakashi and Naruto and leave Sakura an Sasuke for you.))

That was the only thing she couldn't stand. That blonde headed, no scense, sorry excuse for a ninja, Naruto Uzimaki. James simply muttered; "I can't make any promises." And she began to walk off again.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Neko tagged behind her, entirly unwillingly. "You get back here you... you..." Sakura was screaming at Naruto. Naruto continued to run. "You PERVERT!" She was still persuing him. Neko laughed at the two, quite used to them running around the village in such a way.

[TailsNyne]

James wearily put her hands on the back of her neck. She probably won't stick arund very long. She, clearly, wasn't wanted here. "Mizuki still around?"

Naruto didn't stop. No, he couldn't stop. If he did, he'd probably get hurt. "But Sakura-chan! It was an accident!" He called back, slightly afraid.

[SiriuslyRemus]

((Who? I'll hold off posting untill you tell me...))

[TailsNyne]

((Mizuki's the one in the either the first or second that tried to frame Naruto and get the shadow scroll thing.))

[SiriuslyRemus]

((that's what I thought.))
"No. He's in prison." Nekos replied. "Tried to get Naruto to steal the shadow scroll for him." She said.

"GET BACK HER NARUTO!" She shouted.((Should Sasuke still be in the village I assume?))

[TailsNyne]

"Figures he'd get caught." James snickered slightly. Maybe she'd visit him, later. "By the way, why are you following me?"

Naruto only ran faster.
((Yeah. ^^))

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Hokage said to remember. 'Gaurd her' or whatever. I'm supposed to make sure you're not attacked and that you don't damage anything." She said.

"GET BACK HERE!" Sakura shouted, speeding up as well. She was gaining on hin.

[TailsNyne]

"Whether you're here or not, I could still damage things." James shrugged absently.

He was going to die! Naruto dashed up a wall, trying to escape her.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Neko shrugged, "I suppose I'm supposed to try to hold you off untill backup arives or somthing." She said.

Sakura followed easily. She was, after all, the first person to get a hang of this exercise when they'd learned it.

[TailsNyne]

James chuckled, if she said so.

Naruto slipped. Noooo! "Don't hurt me, Sakura-chan!"

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Who understands the hokage's logic? Certainly not me that's for D'amn sure." She mummbled.

"Why the he'll did you do that you little perv?" She asked, obviously refering to whatever earlier incedent had occured.

[TailsNyne]

James simply shrugged. She was busy with her own thoughts right now.

"It was an accident!" Naruto said again, tryign his best t scramble away from her.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Neko sighed, "Are you going somwhere particular, or just wandering around?" She finnaly asked. She figured she'd better know if she was to follow her around.

"ERG, You're such an idiot Naruto!" She shouted. "Oh, Sasuke-kun!" She jumped down from the wall, waving happily as Sasuke approached. He showed no sign that he had seen her at all.

[TailsNyne]

James thought about it for a moment. "Which one will get you to stop following me?" She finally questioned back.

Naruto, not even now, was happy to see Sasuke. He'd rather have Sakura pumble him to death. He grumbled under his breath, walking back down.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Unfortunaly nowhere. Under no uncertain terms am I following you because I want to. I am following you because I very much like my job and would like to keep it." Neko huffed.

"Sasuke-Kun!" Sakura must have been under the impression that he hadn't heard her. Sasuke grunted and did not reply.

[TailsNyne]

James muttered something under her breath. "Why don't I just put a collar on you and call you Spot?" Now, findn herself hungry, headed for the raman shop.

Naruto followed after her, for a reason he really wasn't sure of himself. Sometimes he had to wonder if Sasuke had feelings at all, ignoring Sakura like that.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Because one of us would undoubtedly end up dead." She said sourly. If she didn't still have her gaurd too high up to do so she would have her arms crossed. She would also undoubtedly be pouting.

"Hi Sasuke-Kun." Sakura said, coming to a hault in front of him. "Saukra. Dobe." Sasuke greeted, unable to ignore her any longer.

[TailsNyne]

"Which would 'undoubtedly'" James mocked her bitterly, "Be you." She pushed her way into the small shop, sitting at one of the stools. "Hey, old man," She called over the counter. "Still here?"

Naruto, like he'd wanted to, said nothing in responce. He was afraid it would come out in an insult and Sakura would find another reason to hurt him.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"I doubt it." Said Neko, mocking both James words and her own really. The old man merely stared at her as if he was unsure who she was, and his daughter came over to take her order. "What can I get for you?"

Sakura batted her eyelashes at Sasuke, It was beyond her why Naruto didn't like him. In fact Sakura couldn't figure out why anybody wouldn't like Sasuke. He merely stared at her blankly.

[TailsNyne]

"Stupid old man." James muttered, leaning on the counter. She'd think someone like that would remeber his besttwo costumers; Neko and herself. "I want the spiciest raman you have."

Naruto grumled to himself. She never did that for him. "Come on. Let's find Kakashi." He finally said, having enough of this.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Allright." The young woman said, quickly heading back to get some after Neko had indicated that she wanted nothing. "So apart from betraying this village, what exactly have you been up to?" Neko asked boardly.

Sasuke shurgged and took off in no particularly special direction. Sakura of course, followed Sasuke.

[TailsNyne]

"Chasing deamon 'containers', hurting people, annoying fish man." James gave a shrug, waiting for her ramen.

Naruto had no choice but to follow the two.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Is that part of the animosity towards Naruto, or is that just the same old?" Asked Neko. The waitress plopped the bowl down in frount ofr James, "Here." She said.

It appeared that Sasuke was headed to the place where they usually met Kakashi. Well, it could be a good start.

[TailsNyne]

"No. No. Most of it was Uzimaki." James nodded slightly before looking down to her bowl. "About time!" Okay, she hadn' been waiting very long, but it was fun. At once, she began eating.

It would have been, if Kakashi wasn't always late. Naruto said nothing. He wasn't leading.

[SiriuslyRemus]

The waitress just stared at her as if she was either very immpatient or very crazy. Neko couldn't help but snort at the expression.

"He's late." Said Sakura huffily. Sasuke merely leaned against the rail of the bridge.

[TailsNyne]

James paid her no mind. She'd stayed with a boatload of guys and one girl, there wasn't really anything that bother her, anymore.

Duh. Naruto wanted to point out, but thought better of it. "Wanna go check his house with me, Sakura-chan?"

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Good?" She asked. She was so bored she was willing to try conversation.

"Oh, I don't know..." Sakura said, "Do you want to Sasuke-kun?" She asked. Sasuke grunted in response, he stood up straight though, supposedly a yes.

[TailsNyne]

James c'ocked an eyebrow. "Uh. I guess." She muttered between bites.

Naruto grumbled agerily. Of course she'd ask Sasuke. He shoved his hands into his pockets and stalked off. His mood, like always, would change once they started training.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"What, I'm bored." Neko said, in respons to the raised eyebrow.

Sakura tagged right beside Sasuke, who ignored her completly.

[TailsNyne]

"Hn." James responded easily.

Kakashi met them about half way. He had to drop by the Hoage's office. Might as well tell them now. "We have a mission, toady. This might excite you, Naruto." He already looked excited. "It's an A rank." Because there'll be an ANBU. "We have to guard 'James'." Immediatly, Naruto began to complain. "We have to babysit!? That's not an A rank! How old's the boy, anyhow!?"

[SiriuslyRemus]

Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Oh, Sensei, not another one!" Sakura exclaimed, for once agreeing with Naruto. "How can gaurding anyone be A ranked anyway?" She asked.

[TailsNyne]

Kakashi sighed. How great. "Just come on." He muttered absently, already walking away. "We have to find James." Naruto partly upset, partly excited, followed after him.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"How are we supposed to find this kid, we don't even know what he looks like." Objected Sakura. Sasuke remained silent, no surprise.

[TailsNyne]

"Start asking around." Kakashi answered simply. Naruto got on it quickly. He pratically tackled a man down. "Have you seen James?" Kakashi sighed. Wrong word usage.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Who?" The man asked, looking angry. Sakura stared at Kakashi, "What should we say? There must be more than one James around, and if we don't know what the one we're looking for is..." She trailed off, it was fairly obviouse how that sentance ended.

[TailsNyne]

"No. James isn't a normal name around here." Kakashi muttered, stalking off again. Tsuande could have given a picture, at least. Naruto left the man, seein as he didn't know anything. Kakashi thoguht for a moment. "She has bright green hair." He pointed out simply.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Well why didn't you say that?" Asked Sakura, a large sweat drop forming on her forehead. She began questioning people, but it appeared noone had seen her. Sasuke may have been questioning people, it was hard to tell as he was nowhere in sight.

[TailsNyne]

Naruto continued to harash varoius peope. Kakashi on the other hand, was busy with his book.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Sasuke reappered suddenly. "I found her." He said. "Her?" Asked Sakura. "Somone over there saw her go into the ramen bar." He said to Kakashi, ignoring Sakura.

[TailsNyne]

"Her?" Naruto repeated. None the less, he took toward the ramen shop. Kakashi trailed after him. This could be so tiresome, sometimes.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Sasuke followed Kakashi, and Sakura, naturally, trailed after Sasuke.

Neko sighed, proping her elbows on the counter, placing her head in her hands. She was sick of keeping her gaurd up. Well, if James decided to attack her so be it.

[TailsNyne]

Easily, Naruto poked his head in. Immediatly, he spotted the green and immediatly, he pulled back out. "It's her!" He'd remember that woman anywhere. Kakashi, ignoring Naruto, walking in. "James?"

James looked up as her name was called. "Whaddya want?"

[SiriuslyRemus]

Neko stared at him. Why was Naruto looking for James?
"Are you James?" Asked Sakura, staring at her. Sasuke looked around, maybe for the ANBU that Kakashi had been talking about, maybe not. Neko never looked like an ANBU, what with her strange cloths and all.

[TailsNyne]

James looked to the pink headed girl. "I am." She answered, eyeing them carefully. Naruto didn't like this. Not one bit. Kakashi nodded slightly. "I'm Kakashi. This is my team,"

[SiriuslyRemus]

"What are you all doing here, Kakashi?" Asked Neko curiosly. "And looking for her?" She asked.
"Looking for her." Sakura said. "Why?" Asked Neko, not looking at Sakura, but at Kakashi.

[TailsNyne]

"Tsuande wants us to guard her. With your help, of course." Kakashi muttered as if it were no big deal. "Oh, that's wonderful. Now I'll have four ninja and a demon following me." James muttered sarcasticly. Naruto glared at her slightly. He hated being pointed out. He stepepd back a step, seeing her one eye watch him. "How long are we doing this, Kakashi?"

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Yes what did old Tsunade say?" Asked Neko, the epitome of sarcasm. She didn't want to be stuck with her sister for too long. It wasn't that she hated her. SHe didn't. That was the problem, becuase she very much WANTED to hate her. Sakura watched Kakashi, as did Sasuke.

[TailsNyne]

"Untill she finds out about the Akatsuki base." Kakashi answered simply, watching James carefully. "Don't touch him." He warned. James muttered something to herself, looking away from Naruto. An Uchiha, a demon, some pink headed brat, her sister, and he Copy Ninja. "First I get stuck with a fish and an Uchicha. Now I'm stuck with you guys." She sighed bitterly, stalking off. Naruto hoped that wasn't long.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Neko hopped up, "Well come on." She said, iratably following James. "We're better than a fish." Saukura muttered. Sasuke looked like he wanted to kill somthing. Obviously the other Uchiha of whom she spoke.

[TailsNyne]

"I doubt it." James muttered wearily, heading for the oak tree. Kakashi, book in his and, trailed after them. Naruto followed as well, but was careful to keep his distance from her.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"What on earth are you reading?" Asked Neko. Sakura grummbled about immature senseis and Pervert books. Sasuke merely trailed behind, silent for a while. "What makes this an A-ranked mission?" He spoke to noone in particular, he just wanted an answer.

[TailsNyne]

"Itchi, Itachi Paridise." Kakashi answered simply. He wasn't really bothered by Sakura's grubling, he was use to it. "Well. It's an A ranked mission because she's an 'X-Akatsuki' and suppose to be highly dangerouse."
"Suppose to be?!" James pratically sprung at him. Before she could, she brought herself back under control, smiling a plastic smile through her teeth. "Right."
"Doesn't that mean she has to stay with one of us?" Naruto questioned, looking toward Kakashi and Neko.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"He's right." Said Sakura and Neko in unison. "You can stay with me." Neko adressed her. "Old or new one?" She asked Kakashi. Sasuke stared, he was supposed to protect somone who had worked with his brother!?

[TailsNyne]

That did not sound like a good idea. He wouldn't put Sasuke and Itachi in the same house and he wasn't sure if he wanted to put them in the same house. Kakashi looked to Neko slightly. "I rather sleep in a tree." James muttered bitterly. "Either you stay with her, or him." Kakashi pointed to Sasuke. Sakura's parents wouldn't apperciate being stuck with her, she wanted to kill Naruto, and he lived in a one room appartment. Sasue lived alone and could protect himself, plus she had no reason to hurt him.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"You're stuck with somone." Neko said. She was standing behind Kakashi, trying to read over her shoulder. Sakura gave her and Kakashi both a look of disgust. Sasuke looked horrified, "She can't stay with me!" He exclaimed.

[TailsNyne]

Kakashi lowered the book slightly. He was happy to share with anyone into it. "Well, Sasuke, I wouldn't force you to stay with your sibling." He muttered absently. "And I'm partly afraid one of them's going to kill the other. So, looks like you're stuck with her." James, realizing she had no sayin this what so ever, was sitting on the floor, sharpening one of her blades. Naruto smirked. Maybe she'd kill Sasuke.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"He really don't think that's a good idea. She should be with a jonin, at the very least." Said Neko. "She may not look dangerouse but she clasifys as an A-rank mission for a reason. " She said, stepping a bit closer to read some fine print. "No! She can't possibly stay with me... I'm too busy training." Sasuke said.

[TailsNyne]

"She can help you train!" Naruto pointed out. This would be fun. Kakashi sighed. "I know she's pretty dangerouse, but still, I'm not risking putting her with you. Instead, I brought this." He held out a black collar with his free hand. James looked up. "What's that?"
"Shock collar. The ones for dogs."
"There's no way in hell, you're goign to get that on me. It's illegeal anyhow."
"Already got permission from the Hokage." She glared at him. Why'd she come back?

[SiriuslyRemus]

Neko started laughing hystarically, "A shock collar, clasic! I wish I'd thought of that when we were kids!" She laughed. Sasuke stared at Kakashi. "But, but seriously." She tried to sober herself up a bit, "Aren't you worried she'll kill him, collar or not?" Asked Neko. Sasuke harumphed, as if he doubted anyone could kill him. "She's right, you can't put Sasuke in that kind of danger, Kakashi-Sensei!" Said Saukra.

[TailsNyne]

"He's in no danger." Kakashi assured them. He handed the collar to Sasuke. "Now if I'm right, if you can get this on her," He pointed to James. "She won't feel like she's the leader." James glared at him. "I'm not a dog!" She snapped angerily. Kakashi continued to ignore her. "Good luck."

[SiriuslyRemus]

Neko was laughing hystarically again. She just couldn't help it, it was so funny! Sasuke stared at the collar as if it may bite him. "I'm not doing this, I don't want her to begin with he growled. "here dobe." He said. He wouldn't mind to much if Naruto ended up hurt by James.

[TailsNyne]

Naruto backed away. "She's already tried to kill me more than once. Its your turn, Teme." He muttered, pratically hiding behind Sakura. Kakashi chuckled, turning to walk off. "Let me know how it works. Come on, Neko." He smiled from under his mask. Not once, had he looked away from his book.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Neko shot a worried look over her shoulder, but she figured they could handle themselves. If not, oh well, what was the point of having them around anyway. So she trailed behind KAkashi, still reading over his shoulder. Sasuke stared at James, as if trying to figure out how to go about this strange task.

[TailsNyne]

Kakashi really had no worry for them. James couldn't hurt him without being sentaced to death and if Sasuke was smart enough, which he was sure he was, he'd figure out how to get the collar on her.

James looked toward Sasuke, as if daring him to try it. Naruto smirked slightly. "Sakura-chan, I dunno if it's a good idea to stay here."

[SiriuslyRemus]

"You seem to have a great deal of confidence in them. I hope you realize James is not going to care about the death penalty. She'll skip town before any harm befalls her." Neko said. She was worried, for both parties. "Hold on turn back, I wasn't fineshed."

"We can't just LEAVE Sasuke!" Sakura declared. "I don't suppose you'd save us both the trouble and just let me put this da'mn thing on?" Sasuke asked in his usuall monotone.

[TailsNyne]

Kakashi drapped his arm around her shoulder. "Calm down. They'll be fine, promise." He wasn't going to let her worry herself like that. Stress was bad for an ANBU. "And if anything happens, I'll take full responciblity."

"Nope." James shook her head. Naruto sighed. If they started fighting, Sakura, knowing her, might get hurt. Now, if he could only get her away from here. "I heard Ino was going to paint life sizes pictures of Sasuke and sell them to people."

[SiriuslyRemus]

((OMG, I totally just spent a few minutes suffocating myself with a blanket so I wouldn't wake anyone up laughing about the 'life size SAsuke' protraites.))
"It's not responcibility that I'm worried about." She huffed. She stared at his arm for a minute, as if to ask what he was doing. "Why are you touching me?" She asked, it was just a question, she didn't honestly care much either way.

"What?" Asked Sakura. Sasuke sighed. "Fine, looks like I'm going to have to do this the hard way then." ((I have no idea how hes going to manage it... I hate coming up with stratagies, I never think of them untill after the fight...))

[TailsNyne]

((xD Sorry. Didn't know it was that funny.))

"So you won't go back, why?" Kakashi looked at her with one eye. "Is that a problem?"

((Should we skip then?))

[SiriuslyRemus]

((It was!))
"No, I suppose not. People just don't do that to me very often." She said, shrugging a tad. It was true, she was generally pretty left alone, especially in the men department. Perhaps it was just that she had better things to do than persue an interst there.

((I suppose so. If you don't mind.))

[TailsNyne]

Kakashi smiled weakly before looking back to his book. He removed his arm from her, hoping she wouldn't go back.

ARG! James angerily pulled at the black collar. She still didn't understand how this brat got the damn collar on her! She barely had any scratches and the collar. "Damn it!"

[SiriuslyRemus]

"I should go back..." But somthing stopped her from doing so. "But you don't think I should. And you're probably right." She was letting her emotions get in the way of her judgment, Kakashi was right, they should be left alone.

Sasuke stood, a bit worse for the ware but still not looking too bad, "Kakashi has the remote doesn't he?" He muttered to himself.

[TailsNyne]

Kakashi chuckled slightly. "See. You just have to relax. I do it all the time." He turned the page. "It's not that hard." Which explained why he was late to everything. That, and his book. How he loved his books.

Naruto nodded meekly. He still wasn't quiet sure if he'd watched Sasuke put the collar on her, or if he watched two wildcats fight. James glared at him angerily, still pulling at the collar. She would have been better off at the Akatsuki.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"It's not in my nature to relax." She said softly. She continued reading his book allong with him. "I love these things."

"There's no way it's coming off." Sasuke said. Sakura was watching the scene, trying to figure out exactly WHAT had just happened. ((Bed for me I think, 'night!))

[TailsNyne]

Yeah, he figured that out a while ago. "Suprising, really." Kakashi muttered. Not many people liked them, clearly.

James glared at him even more. "Says you." She pulled herself off the ground and began to walk off. Most likely to find whatever got it off, which was most likey with Kakashi. "Come on, Uchiha."

((Keu. ^^ Night.))

[SiriuslyRemus]

Neko shrugged, "I've allways had a weakness for trashy novels." She said. "Or, were you talking about my inability to relax?" She asked, glancing up from the book to look at what she could see of his face.

Sasuke decided he really had no choice. So, he grudingly followed her. Sakura tagged after Sasuke, of course.

[TailsNyne]

"A little bit of both." Kakashi's face, like always, was unreadable as he read. Thou he had to disagree it wasn't 'trashy' he said nothing of it.

Naruto trailed after them. He kinda had to. This wasn't the best mission he'd ever had. James, still pulling at the collar, used one eye to search for her other 'guards'.

[SiriuslyRemus]

Neko nodded, she didn't really have anything to say to that. She tried to absorb herself in the book, she didn't want to think much about who may end up hurt or dead. She just hoped everyone would come out allright, even James, though she wouldn't admit it to herself.

Sasuke looked around for Kakashi and the other girl, figuring her pink attire would be easy to spot. However he didn't see her yet. Sakura trailed behind, looking around.

[TailsNyne]

Kakashi, who usually held the book to his nose, was holding it a bit lower, so Neko could see better. They'd be alright, he knew. His students weren't completely stupid. He hoped.

James jumped onto a rooftop. It'll be easier to spot from her. Might as well teach them something. "It's easier to spot targets from aeral rang."

[SiriuslyRemus]

Neko appreciated this, "Thanks." She said. She wasn't sure if she thought that the team happened to be 'stupid' or not. It was inexperience that worried her.

"We know that." Said Sakura in a whiney, grating voice. Sasuke appeared to be paying as much attention as he could without looking like he cared. That was jsut the way he was.

[TailsNyne]

"Um-hu." Came Kakashi's muffled responce.

"Which explains why we haven't found them yet." James snapped angerily. Naruto followed behind, for once, he was quiet. He was never really like this. It was just, akward. Having to 'guard' the one that was trying to attack him. Which only confused him even more.

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Why do you wear that mask?" Asked Neko, curiosly. "What are you hiding from?" It was a strange question she guessed, but she didn't really care, she was curiose.

"Well you obviously know it to if you're trying to teach us, but you aren't having anymore luck than we are." Said Sasuke, not really defending Sakura, just feeling the need to be sarcastic.

[TailsNyne]

"I'm not hiding from anything." Kakashi shrugged slightly.

James had the greatest urge to strangle him. She thought about, for a long time, too, then decided againist it. She'd wait untill the collar was off, then strangle him. She smiled. "Smart boy, aren't you."

[SiriuslyRemus]

"Then why wear a mask?" She asked. "Either you're hiding from somthing, or there's some deep dark secret reason... like you're running from the law or somthing strange like that. Which I doubt as you've been in this village an awefully long time."

Sasuke merely grunted in reply. "Is that them?" Asked Sakura, not quite able to tell from up here.

[TailsNyne]

Yeah, it was them. At once, James sprung at Kakashi. "Because I like this mask." He muttered simply, feeling slightly insulted. The mask was who he was. Absently, he stopped and knelt down, letting James fly over him. "Get it off!"

[SiriuslyRemus]

Sasuke quickly jumped down after her. Neko looked very relieved. "I've never really seen a mask used as a fashion statement is all." She said, ignoring the camotion.

[TailsNyne]

"Awe." Kakashi responded easily, standing back up. "I see you got it on, after all, Sasuke." He muttered absently. He dug into his pocket, handing over the small black remote. "You'd need this, then."
