Don't Call Me Kitten Book 1 Of 3 *Naruto* COMPLETE

Time Skip

                A/N: So, I had a dream last night and it was about the end of my story, so I've decided to follow the dream. So... Here's a time skip. I thought about it and it would be way too monotonous to continue on day after day of her in the Akatsuki, so it's now been approximately two and a half years and in the middle of the Fourth Shinobi War. Enjoy?

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TIME SKIP~~~~~~~~      ~2.5 Years Toward End of War 

                 I stop attacking the door once my energy has burned out and my knuckles are bruised and bleeding. I choke back a sob as I sink to the floor, my eyes never leaving the door. The ninja world is at war, and I'm locked away in the base. So many of the Akatsuki members are dead, the people I considered brothers and sisters, gone before my eyes. Sasori danna, the puppet master I spent many evenings with hiding in his room, gone. Before things got crazy, he had started teaching me how to create puppets and control chakra strings. Deidara was next, my first love and only boyfriend. He and I never got back together but we made up and became close friends. We admittedly had a few intense moments, but nothing ever came of it. Kakuzu was killed by my father while fighting against the Nine-Tails. He and I never became close despite our many missions, but he kept the secret of our first mission, and I will always be grateful for it. Hidan's 'death' hit me the hardest as we became thick as thieves. Almost all of my free time was spent with him, arguing, pulling pranks, fighting, or just simply talking, he was always there. He may have been immortal, but from what I understand, Shikamaru decapitated him and buried him in a pit somewhere around his home. Itachi was killed by Sasuke and as sad as I was for the death, I know he is happy because Sasuke was the one to do it like he'd wanted. Pein was the most recent one to die, causing a bit more chaos between the few remaining members. I never particularly liked Pein, but I kind of enjoyed pissing him off regularly. Once, I'd made him so mad he collapsed the wing of the base that contained his office so he had to relocate. I hid in Sasori's room for a week straight after that. A strangled laugh escapes my throat as I wipe away another tear. The Akatsuki became my family and they've all but been wiped out...
                         I was headed out to fight today against Kisame's wishes, but he caught me at the entrance. I tried to fight against him and get around him but it didn't work. He threw me over his shoulder and forced me into my bedroom. He apologized repeatedly, looked me in the eye and told me that he loved me. He promised that he would come back to me once the war was over and no one wanted me to get hurt. I fought to be able to go out there and fight like everyone else, but he kissed my forehead and shoved me backward before shutting the door. I felt his chakra flare up briefly before his voice rang out through the door. He sealed the door so I can't get out unless he comes back or he dies. That was hours, days, maybe weeks ago? I can't tell. The chakra reading from the seal suddenly disappears and I scramble to my feet and open the door.
"You Baka, don't you ever lock... me..." I trail off as I realize Kisame isn't in the hall.
"K-Kisame?" I call out, my throat tightening as tears well up again. He doesn't reply and I feel what's left of my heart shatter.
The man I'd looked up to for many years, even before I came to the Akatsuki, is dead. I don't even know if anyone else is alive. Konan, Zetsu, and Tobi were the only ones left.
                              I make my way outside to survey my surroundings. I close my eyes and try hard to sense any chakra signatures nearby but can't find any. The fighting, if there is any left, is far away from here. The only thing I can do is wait and hope and pray someone comes back. I will wait for two days, and if no one shows up, I will assume the worst. I sit down and cross my legs, keeping my mind alert for any sign of movement. All I can do is wait...
