The Clash Within The Cards (Akatsuki love story)

The Jacks and Aces

We were almost at the bottom of the hole and honestly we were getting nowhere with our magic, let alone our summoning items. "I hate this" said Alexis crossing her arms. "I agree with Alexis on this I'm exhausted" said Jenn, as the guys sighed. I looked at my left hand again and narrowed my eyes at it. "Jamie" said Itachi, as I stopped and looked up at him. He grabbed my hand and in that moment we lightly landed on the floor. "Finally" said Alexis stretching her arms. "Your highnesses" said voices, as we all stopped and turned our heads. There knelt Neji in a spades outfit and a pike in his belt. Kiba knelling with a halberd on the left side of his belt. Finally Shikamaru knelling down and in front of him a shield. "These are your Jacks" said Sasori, as we looked at them in amazement. "Eh this is so cool" said Alexis, as she ran over to Kiba and bent down looking at him. "He's so cute I could kiss him" said Alexis, as Jenn and I snickered glancing at Deidara who was glooming. I then paused a moment and turned to Itachi. "Not that I'm not grateful... but shouldn't my Jack be Sasuke?" I asked, as Itachi narrowed his eyes. "Honestly... they both were... that is until he decided to be the Jack of Hearts" said Itachi, as I stopped and nodded my head. "The Aces are waiting" said Shikamaru, as we nodded. "Aces?" questioned Jenn, as Sasori looked at her. "Each land has a trump warrior known as the Ace. Together they are called the Aces." said Sasori, as we all walked into a small Japanese style house. When inside there we saw three guys sitting in a living room. Kakashi dressed as he normally does, but with a spade in the middle of his headband where the Konoha symbol would normally be. Kankuro with a club on his headband instead of a Sand village symbol. And the third on was Jirayia with a diamond on his headband.  "Ah your highness, we have waited so patiently for your return" said Jirayia walking over to Alexis and kissed her head. Alexis gloomed causing Jenn and me to cover our mouths so not to laugh. "Deidara" whined Alexis, as Deidara growled and punched Jirayia on the head. "Enough, your scaring your queen" said Deidara, as Alexis blushed a bit while holding her cheeks. "Me? A Queen" she said giggling. Jenn and I sighed and held our heads. "Don't fill her head with your fantasies" said Jenn, as Deidara growled. "I'm not fantasising and if I was you wouldn't be here" he said, as Jenn glared at him. I put my hand to my chin and narrowed my eyes. "Jack... Ace... Queen? King?" I questioned, as Itachi smirked eyeing at me. "So we're based off of the human playing cards" I said, as everyone stopped and looked at me. "Other way around your highness" said Kakashi, as I stopped and blinked a few times. "Highness? Me? But" I said, as I paused when Itachi took my hand. "It will come to you no worries, right now I think the queens need to rest" said Itachi, as the three of us looked at each other. The three of us were lead to a room and we sat down on futon beds. Once the door was closed we all breathed out a heavy sigh. "This is exhausting" said Jenn "I want to go home" whined Alexis, as I stayed quiet and looked at my hand. "They said we have Jacks and Aces" I said, as they both paused and looked at me. "Yeah so?" asked Jenn, as I sighed and looked at her. "Think about it, if we have Jacks and Aces... wouldn't Itachi, Deidara and Sasori be our "KINGS" shouted Alexis and Jenn, as I nodded. “Making us the Queens of Spades, Diamonds and Clubs" I said, as it was now quiet in the room. "So... why can't we remember this?" asked Alexis, as we all stayed quiet and wondered this for a while.

Meanwhile Itachi walked up to Kakashi and Neji. "Has she remembered anything?" asked Kakashi, as Itachi shook his head. "The only thing she has even hinted at was her hand and trying to summon the spear" said Itachi, as they all nodded quietly. "I will start training her highness tomorrow on that" said Kakashi, as Itachi nodded. "Just be sure to try and make a barrier. If the Queen of Hearts finds us... who knows what's she's going to do" said Itachi, as Kakashi nodded. Deidara was growling and started shaking Kiba by the shoulders. "Why the hell didn't you deny anything HUH?!" shouted Deidara, as Kiba was sweat dropping not knowing what to do. Jirayia sighed and then turned to Deidara "Shall I "teach" her highness on her abilities?" asked Jirayia smirking while rubbing his hands. Deidara had a shiver up his spine and then swung out his axe towards Jirayia. "You take one step towards her and I'll cut off your head personally" said Deidara, as he then stopped when everyone growled. "Don't even joke about that" said Sasori, as Deidara sighed a bit but nodded. "So it's agreed the Queens will be trained by the Aces to help them with their magic" said Sasori, as everyone nodded.

With the Queen of Hearts not a trace has been given and the Queen was getting aggravated. "SASUKE" shouted the Queen, as Sasuke walked towards the queen and knelt on one knee before her. "Yes your highness?" he questioned, as she held out her left hand. Sasuke smirked and kissed it. "I want an update" she said, as he stood up and bowed before her. "We have yet to find any traces your highness" he said, as the queen growled. "That's not what I wanted to hear" she said, as he smirked looking up at her. "Good news is we have proof they have no idea they are even of royal descent" he said, as the queen smirked. "So they don't even know how to use their magic. Then there’s hope" she said, as Sasuke nodded. "ACE" she shouted, as a shadow figure immerged and appeared before the Queen. "Yes, your highness" he said in a snake like tone. "Find them, kill them, and make sure they can't be found" said the Queen walking away.

I shot up sweating and looked around. I was breathing heavily and I was gasping for air. I got up and swallowed to try and calm myself. I walked out into the hall and saw nothing. I walked and found a bathroom. I looked in a mirror and paused seeing a spade shape in the middle of my neck. I slowly reached to my neck to touch it and then my eyes widened as a flashback came to me.

*Flashback*

"Damn you Jamie" said a woman with long brown hair and now one brown eye. Her left eye was now dripping with blood and I was narrowing my eyes with my spear in my hand glaring towards her. "Why would you take him from me?" I asked, as she laughed towards me. "You and your petty looks don't deserve someone so perfect and beautiful" she said, as I growled. "So basically because of my looks?" I asked, as she laughed and held out her red rose towards me. I took a step back and then in an instant she surrounded me with her red rose petals. "I will mark with your own fate and seal your magic" she said, as I held onto my neck with both hands and then I looked down and saw my own spade in the middle of my neck. "No longer will you be able to use your magic freely my dear sister... you will be mortal" she said, as she surrounded me in petals one more time causing me to black out.

*End of Flashback*

I washed my face in the sink and then I froze with fear feeling an evil presence around. I quickly turned my head, but saw nothing. I narrowed my eyes looking in every nook and cranny. However, I couldn't see anything. I started churning my teeth and my eyes widened feeling something behind me. I breathed deeply and tightened my left hand and soon I swung around me blocking a snake bite with my... spear? I was grunting and squinting one eye from... I guess how much magic I was using. I was struggling a bit and started pushing on the spear with two hands. "Well, well, the queen of spades has her mighty spear back. I guess your going to be a challenge after all" said a voice behind me. I eyed back and I paused seeing Orochimaru. I swiftly cut the snake that was trying to bite me in half and did a full turn to face Orochimaru. I was still breathing heavily and this time my vision was slowly becoming blurry. Orochimaru then chuckled and brought out his sword and dashed towards me.
