(Kisame)

We were headed towards the Sound Village or where Sasori knew where Orochimaru hid and where Sasuke probably went. Zetzu had assured us that indeed Sasuke had gone back to Orochimaru. Madara had been pissed when he heard that. I am both excited to see what Madara will to do Orochimaru and scared of what Madara will do to Orochimaru. Clearly he loved the kid but he was also pissed at Sasuke. So Sasuke will probably be in trouble with both Leadersama and Madara. Leadersama would be upset with Sasuke for leaving without saying where he was going, putting himself back in danger with Orochimaru, and for just plain leaving the hide out to go do something huge and foolish. Madara would be pissed at him because of those reasons too probably. I would hate to be in Sasuke's position. But I would have to deal with Sasori as well.

Now I had discovered why Sasori punished me as well when I got in trouble myself with Leadersama. He was my father. Though you can't compare being punished by Madara with being punished by Sasori. Depending on the amount of strength Sasori is putting into the swat it feels like a paddle instead of his hand. I shivered just from the thought about exactly what would happen to me if I'd been in Sasuke's position.

I was side by side with Zabuza while we looked for Sasuke. He was clearly bored. I wasn't bored because I was too busy being worried for Itachi's little brother. I don't understand why but Itachi wasn't angry, just scared… no terrified of what could happen to Sasuke if he decided to attack the Leaf village and even more horrified about the thought of what Orochimaru would be doing to Sasuke. After all, Orochimaru had tried to do it to Itachi first. When Itachi first heard about Orochimaru trying to take Sasuke from the Leaf, he'd been pissed for days and he was finally happy when Leadersama had told him to go retrieve his brother.

Thus I was also pleased because that meant that I didn't need to be careful around Itachi all day, every day. Itachi could be one terrifying bastard when he's pissed. Which is why I'm glad about the fact that it takes a whole lot for Itachi to get angry. I looked back at Itachi who was walking side by side with Shushi.

Now Shushi seemed to be his long lost friend cousin. Nice to know that Itachi still has a family after he thought he'd killed his family. A brother, a cousin, and an uncle. However, that meant that he would have to be dealing with Madara's decisions just like Sasuke would now be having to deal with the decisions of Madara, Itachi, and the Akatsuki. I'm sure Sasuke hates taking orders from Orochimaru, if I remember what that man was like.

"What are you doing Kisame?" Zabuza asked.

"Thinking."

"What did I tell you about thinking? You suck at it and shouldn't even try. You'll just come to the wrong conclusion anyway." I chuckled and he laughed as well. "What were you thinking about, maybe I can help you come to the right conclusion."

"I was thinking about why we're taking the trek to go find Sasuke Uchiha. Again."

"Because they miss him. I remember trying to kill Sasuke." I gave him a warning look.

"Don't say that around Itachi. You know how Itachi over reacts to people trying to kill his younger brother. Just like I over reacted when I heard you were murdered or died or whatever happened to you." I wasn't going to complain about being bored, since we were looking for Sasuke, Itachi's younger brother. Itachi was in charge of the team we were on, though I am sure that is to change now that Madara was here, mostly because I like blood shed and he tries to avoid it and I head straight for it.

(Gaara)

We were headed to the home of Orochimaru. I remember him only from the time I mistakenly tried to destroy the Leaf Village myself. Sasuke was planning on destroying the village himself it seemed. At least I think I remember that I was supposed to destroy the village. I'd been told I was the 'Secret Weapon'. Temari and Kankurō, after that meeting, had assured me that I wasn't a weapon. That I was a person. At the time I just laughed at them. Now I was grateful to them for saying that.

I watched Hinata and Tobi run past me and Temari. Temari laughed and they ran towards Kisame, who promptly started scaring them. Naruto had glanced over and glared at Kisame, clearly seeing what was going on over there.

"Isn't there a faster way to get to Sasuke? I'm sure they could summon something." I personally could fly, my sand supported me. I couldn't really fly. I didn't have wings. I knew that. It was metaphorical manner of speech.

"I'm sure they could but I think the point is to stay together Gaara." Kankurō replied. I looked at him.

"So they couldn't think of something bigger. The longer we move like this, the longer it takes to get your target. If their S rank criminals then they should know this." I commented. Being a killer once, I knew this by heart.

"It might be to give Zetzu time to find out where Sasuke really went though." Temari remarked.

"True." I agreed.

"So what do you guys think about Sasori?" Kankurō asked a while later when we were coming to a stop.

"I don't really know Kankurō. He seems nice enough." Temari replied.

"I agree. Even if he does get into your personal space." I added. "What do you think Kankurō?"

"What do I think? I want to learn more about him. He's one of the best puppet makers. He made my puppets himself. I want to learn from him, knowing I come from a line of great puppet makers doesn't hurt either." I smiled.

"I'm happy for you Kankurō." Temari and Kankurō smiled.

We entered the building and began to look for Sasuke. I don't think he's in here though. The air seems to stale for recent human interaction in here. So I told Kankurō and Temari so.

"I don't think he's in here."

"You don't? Then he's not here. Let's tell the others." Which way is out? We ended up in a big room at the back of the building apparently because there was no way out.
