(Before the rooms get deleted....)

Krystalia stood outside Itachi's room and knocked on the door. She'd already talked to Deidara soon after he'd came back, and had already found out his reasons. Itachi was one of the few people that Krissy'd actually gotten along with when she'd first came to the akatsuki. She at least needed to know his reasons before making the mistake of being angry with him like she had with Deidara.

Itachi was sitting on his window sill when he heard the knock on the door. He wondered who it was but he didn't have the Byakugan so he wouldn't know until he opened the door. Slowly he stood up and walked to the door leaving the window open. "What is it," he asked as he opened it to notice Krissy was standing at the door. "What do you need?"

Krissy looked up at Itachi as he opened the door, but then couldn't help but to look down. "I want to know why you left the akatsuki," she said, cutting straight to the chase. Her voice wasn't cold, but it was far from being warm. She was still kinda mad at the both of them for abandoning the akatsuki. She wouldn't look up at him. Whenever she did, it felt like he was reading her mind, and she didn't like it.

Itachi looked at Krissy for a few moments after she'd asked her question. "What does it matter Krissy," he asked. And what authority do you have to question me, your superior? He thought privately. "Then again there is no point in hiding the matter. I left for Jaymaru Iruki, think of it which ever way you will, but everything will soon become clear. Trust me," he said his eyes flicking with something quite dangerous. A danger that had only been witness a few times and those who saw rarely lived to speak about it. "Anything else?"

(Aw damn, you told me now you have to kill me! I know that look! X3)

Krissy looked up at Itachi as soon as he asked why it mattered. But as he explained it, Krissy only became flustered. "J..you mean that old hag that died in the battle a few years ago? Why leave for her?" I don't get it! she thought confused. Being only ten, she couldn't possibly understand the complexities of being an adult and making....*ahem* grown-up decisions.

(p.s. the first line was a joke! don't kill me! X3)

As Krissy fired off questions Itachi just waited patiently. He wasn't in the mood for Krissy's curiosity nor anyone else's. "Yes," he said. "That's the one, she's going to be great use to us," he said. "And like I said before, you'll understand fully within the next few weeks, just be patient. Everything will be clear very soon." He then leaned against the wall. "Any other questions?"

After Itachi'd answered, Krissy only looked up at him angrily before saying "So lemme get this straight, you left the akatsuki in order to go be with someone who's against the akatsuki? That's...that's a stupid reason for leaving us!" She yelled angrily. She was doing everything she could to hide the fact that she was hurt by this, and in her own opinion thought she was doing a rather good job. "You shoulda stayed gone!" She yelled before turning around and starting away. She didn't understand any of it. What he meant by she'd be of use to them...or why he'd left in the first place...all she understood was that she was angry beyond belief.

(you shouldn've done that.)

Itachi's eyes flashed into Mangekeyo Sharingan as he grabbed Krissy by the arm and slung her against the wall before she could leave completely. He then lifted her up to eye level. "You have no clue what's going on here. We the Akatsuki are fighting a war far greater than any way we've fought before." He said with anger. Itachi would never hurt a child but this had gone on long enough. It was time Krissy was put into her rightful place. He'd been protecting her for the longest from Deidara, along with all the other kids who had come to the Akatsuki, but Krissy, she was different. "You think you've got this all figured out don't you, open your eyes Krystalia! We can't win this war by ourselves." Itachi was at his breaking point by now. "This entire time we've been carefully planning. Those ninja that have come, we brought them here. Deidara and I are planning to wipe out all the Shinobi starting with the strongest. We made a deal. They help us take out the Shinobi and we let them take over the Five Valleys," he said. "But as you know Deidara likes to rule on his own and that's why we are allying with the Valleys. Jaymaru's role was to persuade them enough to get them to join. That's why I left, to make sure she was truely with us." Itachi took a small pause. "When the fight starts those rogue idiots will be confused because they believe we're going to be teaming with them. If we let them fight the Shinobi then we can just sit back and watch and whoever is left standing will fall from exaustion." Itachi looked at Krissy. "Simple enough for you, or do you still think I should have stayed gone?"

Almost immediately after she'd started away, she felt his hand on her arm, then her back slammed to the wall. Then Krissy saw his mangekyo sharingan and was immediately terrified. She then felt herself being lifted to the point where just staring straight forward, she'd be looking into his eyes. Closing her eyes slightly and trying to look away from him, she started struggling. "P-put me down!" she yelled kicking her feet slightly. She wasn't one to show fear to anyone, even a fellow akatsuki. Her eyes inevitably drifted back to Itachi as he spoke. She'd never seen him so angry at anyone and knew that this was her fault. As he finished speaking, rather than answering his question, looked at him angrily and said "Put me down Itachi!" She could've probably used one of her eye traits to get away, but she feared that doing that might've started a real fight with Itachi, and that was the last thing she wanted.

Itachi looked at Krissy. "Shut up!" He said coldly. "You're walking on thin ice Krissy, so I'd advise you to realize who's in charge before the ice breaks and you start drowning," he said as he threw her against the opposite wall. He turned quickly. "Remember, this was a warning, thhe next time it comes to this I wont be so generous as to show mercy," he said.

Krissy fell silent as Itachi yelled at her. Wasn't Itachi normally the one who was decent to the kids in the akatsuki? Now he was threatening her.... Krissy hit the opposite wall with a smack and rubbed the back of her head, looking up at Itachi as he turned to her. When he'd finished speaking, Krissy looked off to the side, having nothing to say for the first time in a long time.
