Lillie sighed. She wanted to just reach over and rip off Lee's head. She pushed her blonde hair out of her face and moved away from him, to the side vacated by Ino. She glanced over, seeing Lee and Gai pre-occupied, and Ino doing her hair.

Yes!

She dashed away from the three idiots, smiling the whole time.

*Time passes- two or three hours actually*

Were is Lillie? Lee looked around in confusion as he looked for the short blonde girl with the temper. He didn't see her, and almost flipped out. Gai was searching for her as well, and his voice suddenly rang back to Lee's ears.

Kakashi will kill me for loosing her! Lee nodded, going to hunt off to Ino's left, while the blonde premadonna just rolled her eyes.

I don't see what the big deal is, she's just Lillie, not like she's going to get hurt. She's not accident pro like Naruto. Did Ino not know Lillie at all? She was almost as accident pro as Naruto... almost. She at least knew better than to get caught by the Akatsuki... right? Wrong.

*Lillie's P.O.V.*

I sighed as I sat on the branch over looking a pond. I was currently watching two figures, I couldn't distinguish them at the moment, argueing over something. After a long while, I dropped down to see what was going on.

Five branches, four branches, three branches, two branches, three feet, on the ground. I hit the ground without a sound and shifted into my fox form. My white paws stepped lightly over a fallen log as I made my way to the two people, males from their scents. I froze suddenly though. My mouth dropped into the perfect O shape of a shocked person. (haha, I can soo see this happening to myself.) I gasped as I realized who was less than ten feet from me, and approaching. I wanted to skitter away, but my paws were frozen to the ground. The bushes above me parted, and I let out a whimper as I was jerked up into the air.

Hey, lookie here Itachi, it's a little fox kit. I couldn't help the growl that moved from my muzzle then. I bite the "sharks" hand and hit the ground. Before I could recover myself to run, Itachi had grabbed me up. On instinct, I activated my Sharingan, just as he stared me in the eye. I dropped my head, knowing I was caught. He tossed me to the ground, muttering mutt, before glaring at Kisame.

It's a fox, can't you pick one up without being mauled? His emotionless tone was WAY different than the look that had passed in his eyes when he saw it was me. I opened my jaws to retort to the whole, just a fox, comment, but stopped as Kisame jerked me back up. I growled again, but didn't bite, instead, I fell asleep being toated at arms length.
