Chapter 2
"What the hell's going on down there?" Kisame asked. "How the hell would I know?"replied the Uchiha prodigy. The red head of the threesome stared at the bickering pair then spoke, "c'mon, let's take a closer look". With that the three Akatsuki members jumped down from the building into the crowd below. As they looked around, their eyes set in the centre of where the attention was coming from. They were shocked by what they saw.
In front of them, stood a beaten and bloodied young man. His long golden blonde hair hung down in knots hiding his face. He was tied to a wooden pole, surrounded by wood and a screaming mob.
"Oh, God!" shouted Sasori, the red head was clearly shocked at the sight before him. "They aren't seriously going to burn him to death are they?" asked Kisame. That is when something snapped in the missing ninja.
"You fucking assholes" Screamed Sasori, "what the fuck do you fucking think you're doing?" The three men surrounded the injured blonde in an almost protective way.
The mob surrounding them stared in shock and disbelief. "That thing is a monster" a woman cried. "He deserves to die" screamed a man.
"The only fucking things who deserve death here are you" shouted Itachi, pointing a finger towards the angry villagers. Sasori and Kisame stood in shock looking at the Uchiha; he never lost his temper with anyone. Sure he killed people but he never got angry or ever raised his voice.
"Stop" an elder villager called out. "You're the Akatsuki?" he asked, not needing an answer. "I will not allow any of my villagers to get hurt" he exclaimed. "We will leave now" he paused for a moment and looked at the unconscious blonde. "Take that thing away from us, do what you want with him, but take him away from us". With that the elder left with his village, leaving a very angry Akatsuki and an unconscious blonde.
The Akatsuki members turned and looked at the blonde. "Shit, Leader-Sama is going to kill us when we get back" muttered Kisame, while untying the blonde. Kisame picked him up and jumped from the ground, to the rooftops and out of the village, with the other two following.
They were near the hideout now and decided to stop. Kisame gently placed the man down leaning against a tree. He moved some hair from his face, and then let out a whistle. This got Sasori and Itachi's attention.
When the golden hair was moved from the man's face, the Akatsuki members were met by an extraordinary sight. The man looked to be around seventeen or eighteen. He had a very feminine face; he could have almost been a girl. Or at least he looked like one. He was slightly under weight but was very slim anyway.
"Is – is he a he or a she? "Asked Kisame, "I'm so confused". "How the hell am I meant to know you giant fish faced moron" asked Sasori. The three members looked at each other, and then nodded. They decided they had best get back to the Akatsuki base as soon as possible.
