The Black Leaf (Part 1)

Chapter 31: Moving on

We walked down the hall in silent, I was right behind Kisame and Itachi walked next to me. I started feeling dizzy again and I immediately reached for the wall, "you over did it," Itachi said holding my arm.

"That was freaking amazing," Kisame said looking back, Itachi just glared at him and Kisame turned around and kept walking.

"Come here," Itachi said picking me up and carrying me back near the fireplace. He placed me down on the mattress and handed me a small blanket. I wrapped myself in the blanket and laid on the mattress as I stared at the fire. "Do you feel better now?" he asked seating at the end of the mattress by my feet. I thought about it, but in reality, it didn't even make the slightest difference. I did let some of my anger out on Kaito but once again I felt broken inside. So, I just shook my head in response and the tears started to leave my eyes again. He sighed and placed his hand on my leg, "I'm sorry," he said and that just made me cry even more. He crawled up the mattress and laid next to me. He hugged me tight, he held my head against his chest, and I just cried until I fall asleep.

The next day I opened my eyes and Itachi was still laying next to me, his arms still around me. I looked up his face and he looked so calm and at peace. I smiled as I saw some of Sasuke's features on him, they looked so much alike. "Do I have something on my face?" he whispered, and I shoved him off me. "I was comfortable," he complained.

"You been awake this whole time," I asked seating up.

"Yeah, you were holding my shirt tight, even if I wanted to move I couldn't," he said rubbing his eyes.

"Okay, you two are awake now," Kisame said from the doorway, "we have to get going, the hide out is around half a day away, we gotta move it fast."

Itachi got up and he held his hand out for me, I took it and he helped me up, "are you sure you want to do this?" he asked with a more concern tone, "the Akatsuki is an organizations of criminals, we do horrible things."

"I was a Black Leaf, Itachi, I have killed hundreds, I am far from being a good person myself," I told him.

He looked at me still unconvinced, then he nodded.

Kakashi's POV

After four days in the Land of Wind they finally allowed me to go back to the Leaf but they kept Daigo. He was going to be kept there until all the five nations decided what to do with him. Baki, a jonin from the Sand Village, told me that my team made it to the Leaf safely. So, I rushed to the village when I heard that they were in bad shape but alive. Once I got to the village, I went straight to Hokage's office, I was surprised to see Hikku and Genma there.

"Where is Yami?" Genma asked concerned.

"Kakashi where is she?" Hikku continued.

"What the hell you mean where is Yami, she was with you, wasn't she?" I asked them completely confused and worried.

"She was the diversion," Genma said with shame, "she went the opposite way, making the men follow her so we could escape."

"What?" I said grabbing Genma by his shirt, "you let her do, what?"

"Kakashi, stand down," the Hokage said.

"Captain," Hikku grabbed my arm, "we have to go look for her, we promised."

"Get ready we leave in 20 minutes," I told them. I was ready to head out when the Hokage stopped us.

"You cannot go, you're all in no condition," she sighed, "plus you three are not enough."

"We can get a team ready, I'm sure other's will help us," I told her.

"They have her," she whispered, "they want Daigo in exchanged for her."
