BTW check my profile out for pictures for both of my fan fic. I will add more every once in a while so keep checking. I'll try to tell you here. Enjoy!

Meanwhile Ayame awoke and decided to go for a walk before Ino came to get her. She headed out the door and stopped remembering what Rai told her.

"Rai-kun? You there?" she asked loudly, "I want to go for a walk."

Almost instantly Rai showed up. He was wearing his mask, but today his hair was pushed back and covered by a black cloak.

"What's with the weird outfit?" Ayame asked.

When she didn't get a reply she frowned.

"Rai-kun? Did I get you in trouble? ...I'm sorry..."

She started walking, and Rai followed behind. A few minutes later Rai grabbed a hold of her hand. Ayame blushed.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

He motion for her to come and pulled her along. He started to go faster.

"Slow down Rai-kun!"

A few minutes later he stopped causing her to run into him. She muttered an apology and looked up seeing where they were.

"What are we doing by the gate? You said I wasn't allowed to go near it."

The gate at the moment was open and Rai started to drag Ayame towards it.

"Rai-kun! What are you doing?! Stop! RAI!" she screamed.

He stopped and turned to face her. She closed her eyes and slapped him across the face forgetting about the mask that he wore. The mask fell off, but before Ayame could see Rai's face he turned away from her picked up the mask and moved away. As he slipped the mask back on Ayame swore she saw something glint from behind his mask. He turned to face her once again. This time she really studied his mask covered face.

"Wait..." She thought, "Rai's mask has three strips on each side...this one has only one!"

"You're not Rai!" she exclaimed.

An eerie laugh escaped from behind the mask as the figure removed the mask. Ayame gasped.

"Kabuto!" she cried.

"It took you long enough to figure it out, Ayame."

"What- What did you do to Rai?!"

"Oh, don't worry about him. He's just...sleeping."

"You better not have hurt him!"

"It's time to go home Ayame. Lord Orochimaru misses you very much."

"I'll never go back!" She spat making three hand signs.

She gathered chakara in her mouth and started to pull her whistle out of her kunai holster. Kabuto vanished and reappeared behind her.

"You may say you wont go back, but I'm not giving you a choice. I know all of your tricks Ayame." he said pressing a pressure point on her neck. Ayame collapsed instantly and fell into a deep sleep.

Tsunade sighed. She had soo much paper work to do. She was also worried about Team Kakashi. It was their first mission in two years and they were up against the Akatsuki.

"Naruto and Sakura will be fine. Kakashi is with them and they have Team Gai (Guy?) For backup. So, I need to stop worrying." She thought.

"Lady Tsunade!" Shizune exclaimed rushing into the office.

"What is it Shizune? I have a lot of paper work."

"Almost all of the Anbu Black Ops watching Ayame Hattori have turned up dead. The few that survived are seriously hurt!"

"What?! Who was the cause of it?"

"We asked one and he said Rai Kabau did it, but then we got a call from Rai's sister saying she found Rai on their door step knocked out cold."

"Where do you need me?"

"You need to go to Rai. It seems he's been poisoned, but we cannot identify the poison."

"Before I go I need you to bring Ayame here."

"Uh...We can't do that."

"Why not?!"

"It seems no one has seen Ayame since last night. Ino went by this morning to pick her up for training, but Ayame was missing. There was a note that told Ino that she went for a walk with Rai and would be back soon. But as we know Rai is here..."

Tsunade's eyes went wide.

"Gather up any high ranked ninjas you can, fan out and find Ayame! I have to go get the scroll."

"Alright. Where did you hide it?"

"In the one place no one would think of!"

"It's not in an extremely obvious place, like under your bed is it?"

"...No! I would never put it there! ...It's in my closet."

"Lady Tsunade!!"

"What?!"

"Where you drinking sake when you hid it?"

"...Maybe..."

"We'll discuss your drinking habits later..."
