Kakashi and I charged forward with flourish.

"Juro! You made a bad decision, trying to attack and destroy those close to me!" I yelled "A very bad choice indeed, I don't want to do this, but you leave me no choice!"

His thundering laugh rang through my ears and he looked at me. "Don't patronise me Yuuki! I have seen the darkest places in your heart. All along, you've wanted to get rid of me! You've blamed me for all the bad things! When your dearest brother murdered your clan, when Orochimaru cursed you, why your family had to keep such secrecy from the others, when Sasuke betrayed you, and throughout this entire mission! You don't want to hurt me! You want to kill me!"

"THAT'S NOT TRUE!" I screamed. "EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID IS A LIE! I NEVER BLAMED YOU FOR ANYTHING! I BLAMED MYSELF! I WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO PROTECT THEM! YOU WERE, AND I WASN'T! BLAMING YOU NEVER CROSSED MY MIND!"

"So when you were younger, you never once blamed me?" He snapped

"I was young and foolish, as everyone is when they are young! I was stupid!" I defended. "I didn't blame myself but I grew up! I came to know you-"

Juro howled angrily. "You know nothing about me! You fell for my act! That is all it ever was!"

"Yuuki!" Kakashi called. "He's not the same wolf demon you knew! Don't let him get to you!"

The giant wolf smashed his tails down gleefully.

"Listen to him Yuuki.” I growled lowly to myself. "That is not Juro." And so, I attacked the wolf, my partner and friend, for all these years. "Fire style, Wings of the Phoenix.”

Wings of the Phoenix was a step up from my wings of flame. It was stronger and more powerful than my old technique, with all of its abilities and more. Everything Wings of flame was missing, this had. Another bonus? Nobody knew about it, not even Juro.

In this jutsu, real wings that were connected to the nerves in my spine poured painfully from my back, and the more jutsu I used, the stronger I got. With each one I used, a feather would light on fire, until both wings were engulfed in flame. There are three stages of the wings, yellow as the first, red as the second and blue as the third and most powerful. But every jutsu has its drawbacks. Once I have gotten past the blue stage, the wings turn black and I pass out. Once I regain consciousness, I cannot retract or lose the wings, and therefore I have to rip them out of my back myself, something I had done once and wasn’t planning on doing again. But if I got to that stage and passed out today, I wouldn’t have to deal with that problem.

Juro’s eyes widened before narrowing to slits. “What is that?”

“Something I kept secret from everyone, even you. A new technique.”

He grinned. “So I was right. You do want to kill me.”

“It was never meant to be used on you. It’s not something I would want to use on anyone or anything, especially for you. But, like I said before, you leave me no choice. Fire style, fireball jutsu!”

As I used the jutsu, I remembered when he tried to distract me from performing it when I was younger.

FLASHBACK

“Please, would you just shut up?” I yelled, clutching at my head “I have to concentrate, you stupid wolf!”

Juro laughed loudly. “I will always distract you from anything you can use against me, Uchiha!”

“Yeah, well, screw you! I need to go on a mission soon, and if I can recall correctly, if I die, then so do you!”

“Anything would be better than being stuck inside a mere child like you.” He growled

“I’m not ready to die just yet, so suck it.” I took a deep breath. “Fire Style, Fireball Jutsu!” A huge fireball formed over the lake, and, unknown to me, Itachi had been listening to my conversation.

“Yuuki?” He asked

The jutsu stopped immediately. “Itachi!” I squeaked

“Juro bothering you again?” He said sympathetically

“Yeah, that was the first time I’ve been able to complete the bloody technique today. Every time before now he would smash against the cage and howl his head off.”

“Mother and father have consulted with the Hokage, and he has determined that you are to train with a man called Killer Bee.”

I raised a snow white eyebrow. “Who?”

“He trains with Jinchuuriki how to gain control over their Bijuu and get along with them, teaching them how to work together.”

“Never going to happen.” Juro and I flatly replied, finally agreeing on something. “Speaking of training, how are you going with Kakashi and the ANBU…”

FLASHBACK OVER

-

Juro was furious when we were sent to Bee a few days later, but nothing even close to this. I’d never seen him like this.

As he howled in pain, rubbing at his eyes with his paw, I yelled to Kakashi, “Go and find the location of the group Kuro! Their bound to be somewhere close!”

“But Yuuki!” He protested.

“Go! You’ll only be in the way here!” I ordered “You have to go! Now! I can handle this on my own for a while!”

“You’ll be killed!”

I flashed over to him, pulled down his mask and smashed my lips against his. “I love you Kakashi, but you have to go.” I whispered once I pulled away

He stared into my eyes for a few seconds. “You had better come back to me Yuuki, or I swear I’ll never forgive you.”

“I promise to come back. There are still some things that I haven’t gotten around to doing just yet. Now get out of here.”

He gave me once last kiss before running off.

I turned back to the now glaring wolf and smirked. “Now where were we?”

I was crushed against a tree after one of Juro’s tails had painfully collided with my ribs. “Shit!” I cursed, holding them tightly, spitting out the blood that had come up into my mouth. This was a lot harder than I thought it would be. And I thought that it was going to be pretty damn bad. I had blood almost covering every inch of my body, although most of it was Juro’s. My wings were now half yellow and half red.

Somebody started laughing from behind me. “Suck shit bitch! You look like absolute crap!”

I rolled my eyes and stood. “Shut up Hidan, I don’t see you helping at all, and besides, he’s not looking too great either.” I replied with a nod in Juro’s direction. He had blood coming from multiple points on his body and was panting slightly.

Hidan chuckled. “He looks a shitload better than you.”

“I always knew you were a Jinchuuriki, hm.” Deidara announced his arrival as well.

I scoffed. “Bullshit. You didn’t suspect a single damn thing, dumbass.” I growled “Besides, as you can see, I am no longer one, thanks to you guys helping Kuro.”

I felt a painful yank on my tail. “Yuuki-chan has a tail and wings!” Tobi yelled, touching them and yelping from the heat. “Hot!” I turned and snarled at him and he yelped again. “Sharp teeth and claws too!”

“Be quiet Tobi before I stitch your mouth shut.” Kakazu drawled

I turned to my brother as he landed beside me and said “Kisame, Sasori, Pain and Konan are on their way here.”

“Just as long as they leave the village alone, I’m fine with any help we can get. Thank you brother.”

“I’M GOING TO KILL ALL OF YOU AKATSUKI!” Juro promised

“Get a new bloody saying! Because that one is getting old pretty fucking quickly!” I yelled back.

Hidan whistled. “You’ve got some balls screaming at a fucking Bijuu like that.”

I chuckled. “Well if he keeps going on like this, I’ll get really pissed.”

Itachi tensed from beside me but didn’t say anything, making me laugh. “I don’t want him dead, understand? I just want him immobile, just so I can put him back in his cage.”

“You realise that by doing this, we’ll have to start hunting you?” Deidara asked sadly.

I nodded. “I’ll be ready for you when you do. Ignore it for today. Today, I’m not a Jinchuuriki, so let’s do this!”

UNKNOWN POV

My eyes narrowed. I wasn’t planning to have the Akatsuki, of all people or groups, to be attacking the demon with Yuuki. I thought they were just traitors hunting the Jinchuuriki, not helping them. I also wasn’t expecting Yuuki to take out Oreno so quickly

“This wasn’t the way I planned it out.” I murmured.

“What do you want us to do?” Itori stood up and asked

“You and Hikari are to deal with Itachi and Yuuki Uchiha. I’ll deal with Kakashi.”

“Yes sir.”

“Do not let your guard down, either of you. You saw how quickly she took down Oreno. Do not make the same mistake.”

“Understood!” They both disappeared in two puffs of smoke, leaving me to deal with the Copy Cat Ninja, who I was going to make sure never bothered us again.
