Father, My Father Ch. 1
The dark haired boy ran as fast as he could. He knew there was no way he could fight them on his own. Still, he had to try. He thought that leading them to the training grounds was a good idea since Gai was usually there. He hated being dependent on anyone for anything but now wasn't the time to dwell on that. When he had first heard them, he had been leaving his boyfriend's house and had decided to walk away quietly. He prayed that they were after him and not his love. He was proven right when they took off after him and he had then decided to lead them away from the other and to find help.
He reached the training grounds but couldn't see Gai. He turned to run back towards them when they appeared in front of him. He didn't scream but took up his fighting stance and waited for them to make the first move. They glared at him for a moment and the tallest one charged at him. The boy looked up into the man's black eyes. At first he wondered who the man was but the blue skin gave it away.
"Kisame." The dark haired boy gasped. He remembered him from the fight with his team. Gai had been stupid and couldn't remember who Kisame was but he and his teammates had remembered.
"Well, well looks like you know who I am." Kisame growled and turned to his partner. The boy glanced over at him and noticed red eyes.
"Damn." The boy then decided to run for it again and took off. This time he headed for Gai's place but then thought better of it and headed towards the Hokage's house. He knew that she could help. After all, Tsunade is one of the legendary Sanin. Itachi jumped and landed in front of him. The boy stopped quickly but still ran into Itachi.
"Kisame." Itachi said as the fish-man took his sword and hit the ground by the boy. The boy moved away from the sword not wanting to show his fear. He couldn't activate his bloodline since he was recovering from the flu and had been told not to. The boy looked around wishing for anyone to come through and see him. But of course it being dark and raining, no one would be about.
"Itachi-san, can't we just cut off his legs and take him?" Kisame asked becoming annoyed with all the running.
"Leader-sama wants him in one piece." Itachi answered.
Kisame just shrugged, "We could have Kakuzu sew him up again."
Itachi glared at Kisame and moved silently to the boy. He knocked the dark haired one out before he could move. Itachi picked him and threw him to Kisame. The shark man just looked disgruntled and walked over to Itachi.
"Shouldn't we go see how the others are doing?"
"Yes, they should be done soon."

Deidara looked around the room and growled. The target wasn't here. They had been searching for over an hour.
"Sasori-Danna, where is he, un?" the blond whined. He hated having to search for his target. Sasori just looked at him and blinked.
"I don't know. Why don't we find Itachi and Kisame and ask for help?" Sasori asked.
"No! I want to do this without Itachi. I want him to know that I don't always need his protection, un."
The red head just looked blankly at his partner and shrugged. He wasn't overly fond of Itachi but if he kept the blond happy then that was all he needed to know. Sasori wasn't going to admit it but he thought of the blond as a brother and would help him no matter what and without making anyone know of it, though he suspected that some of the others realized his feelings.
They took another look around the small apartment. Deidara grumbled and looked out the window. Sasori just waited patiently.
"Damnit!" Deidara yelled. He wanted to find the blond brat soon; otherwise Leader-sama would be very upset.
"Tired…" a voice came from the front door. The two missing-nins looked over where the blond was walking in. The blond ignored them as he walked past them and into the bathroom. He washed his face and went to his bed, promptly falling sleep.
Sasori and Deidara just looked at the blond and shook their heads. The idiot was out all day and almost all night and looked like hell. Oh, well, their job was just to kidnap him. Sasori went over and picked the kid up. The kid gripped his cloak and mumbled in his sleep.
"Let's go." Sasori said as he led the way outside. Deidara followed and they walked silently to the edge of Konoha. A rustling in the tree branches from the forest alerted them to the arrival of Itachi and Kisame. Itachi was the first to walk up to them.
"Did you get him, Itachi, un?" Deidara asked.
Itachi looked at him with seemingly emotionless eyes. He nodded and Kisame finally caught up to them.
"Itachi-san…oh, you found them?" the shark-man noticed Sasori and Deidara. Deidara just gave him a mild glare and then smiled.
"Let's go before anyone wakes up, un."
"Do you have to keep saying un at the end of your sentences?" Kisame asked.
"Yup, un." Deidara smiled.
"Stop it!"
"No! Un, un, un, un, un…." Deidara kept repeating un until they got to the hideout.

"Did you manage to get them?" Leader asked as the four stood before him.
"Nope, we're just holding stuffed dolls." Deidara said smiling.
"Very funny." A voice said from the shadows beside the leader.
The four Akatsuki members jumped slightly, jostling the two boys. A dark haired man came out of the shadows, smirking. He let his eyes move over the ones standing before him before coming to rest on the dark haired boy.
"Take them to their rooms. They'll need to be somewhere safe to wake up in." the man commanded.
The missing-nins went to do his bidding as the leader stood up from his chair. The leader walked over to him and wrapped his arms around the shorter man's shoulders. The two stood for a moment before the dark haired one pulled away.
"Do you think we're doing the right thing?" the man asked as he sat against the wall of the room.
"Yes, of course." The leader said as he sat next to him. The man leaned against him. "Why would you think we are doing wrong?"
"Because…I don't know, it just doesn't feel right."
"Trust me. All we're going to do is tell them the truth and then release them." The leader smirked as the man sat up. The man smiled and wrapped his arms around the leader. The leader quickly kissed him. "Trust me, my love; we're doing the right thing."
