Me: I'm back! For all of you wondering why I am uploading so fast right now is for two reasons. 1) You all deserve more for me being evil and not posting. 2) I am in an environment where I can just sit down at a computer and not get disturbed.

Deidara: Did anyone join the dark side, hmm? You promised cookies.

Me: ^-^ Yes! Chibi-Kyuubi-Chan came and grabbed the cookies! I thought I didn't set them out, but that person has mad ninja skills. So you go Chibi-Kyuubi-Chan! Enjoy those cookies! Let's hope this story can be a type of cookie for us all. Let's get started right away.

[Recap: "Good work. Stay there and watch the others fight. For them, this is show time." With that, Pein disconnected his radio. I was left in the tree to watch as an awesome character in the series is taken away, and if captured, killed.]

Chapter 6

I was confused. Should I let the Akatsuki get Naruto, or should I try and stop them? If I remembered correctly, they had to do him last. If Sasori was still alive, then one-tails still needs to be extracted.

I sat in the tree thinking. I got the perfect idea. I radioed into Pein. "Shizu reporting. I have info. If the guys go out, some will perish. You will need them later if you wish to get the other tailed beasts, since nine-tails has to be extracted last."

I was afraid Pein hadn't heard me. I was about to try again, but I got my reply. "You got the info based off the show from your world?"

"Yes," I lied. I had to give Naruto time to train. He wasn't strong enough yet to defend himself.

"Fine. Go stop the others before they go into battle. Tell them it is an order from me."

"Yes sir." I disconnected, then ran off to where they were. When I reached them, Hidan was about to pounce on the people. I came up in front of him.

"What the hell," he whispered, as not to disturb the ninjas in the makeshift house.

"Orders from Pein. Don't go after nine-tails yet. We need you all alive for the ones that still need to be gathered. Don't argue, just go. You will get your chance Hidan, I promise."

He looked me straight in the eye, then nodded. The others followed, looking more than disappointed. They would probably never forgive me.

At the base, we all reported to Pein. "It would be better if we leave unnoticed to the Leaf Shinobi. I got intel that they are more powerful than we thought. Until we have most of the other jinchurikis, we will leave nine-tails alone. Is that clear?"

"Yes sir," we said in unison. We went to grab our bags. I stood in the living room, not knowing what to do next. Someone came up behind me.

"Need help finding the new base, space cadet?" Based on the comment, I guessed two people. It had to be Hidan or Kisame. It sounded more like Kisame.

"I don't have any clue where it is," I said turning around. I was right to guess it was Kisame. "And I don't have a partner yet. Or even a cool cloak or hat like the ones you guys have." Yes, I was being whiny. But I wanted the hat and cloak dammit!

Kisame said he would go ask the leader what to do with me. I sat down on the couch next to Zetsu. I stayed away from him. I could see him licking his lips as he looked at me. He was probably wondering how I tasted with spices all over me. And I mean ALL over me. Not a pretty mental image if you asked me.

Eventually, Kisame came back, saving me from Zetsu's hungry stare. I got up abruptly, making myself dizzy. I started to fall forward, but strong arms caught me. I looked up to see Kisame.

"You are going with Itachi and I. Don't annoy Itachi. He is quieter when you do that." Kisame stood me up, then leaned against the wall, waiting for the stoic Uchiha.

I just stood in the middle of the room, waiting. For some reason, I was getting restless. I felt like something was about to happen. Nah. I'm just jumpy. I'm in a hideout with S-ranked killers, and now we are moving. Nothing to be afraid of.

Did I really believe what I told myself? Hell no! I was nervous. What if ninjas came after us? What if they try to hurt me? What if I find out Deidara was kidnapped? What if Madara sent them after us? What if Kisame got hurt and couldn't train me?

"Calm down. You're going to pass out if you keep breathing the way you are." I looked over to see Kakuzu counting a wad of cash. Of course these guys are used to moving. Come to think of it, I should be to. My mom never wanted to stay in one place, and my father let her get her way.

I took deeper breathes so I wouldn't pass out. When Itachi finally came out, Kisame dislodged himself from the wall. "Finally Itachi. The girl was ready before you were."

I turned away, as not to be looked at by cold eyes. And I wanted to make sure no sharingan was being used on me. I heard Kisame and chuckle, as if knowing my motives.

We left then. Kisame said we were going to a place with plenty of water for training. He asked if I grabbed my scroll, which I did.

We walked through the large forest for hours. It was dark, but the moon filtered in through the leaves above our heads. I looked up and admired the view. I ran into a certain Uchiha's back.

"Oh! I'm so sorry. I was looking at the moon through the trees. Why are we stopping?" I was trying to change the subject.

"We are going to eat a quick meal." My eyes widened. I got an answer from Itachi. I could die happy now.

We made a small fire and sat around it. I decided to break the silence that crept up from the darkness. "Kisame, do you like jokes?"

He looked at me like I was crazy. "Who doesn't. Fire away."

"Okay. This lady decides to go to the bar. She has a duck on her head for no reason. When she walks inside, the bar tender says, 'Hey, you can't bring that pig in here.' The girl answered, 'But it's a duck.' The bar tender said, 'Ma'am, I was talking to the duck.'"

Kisame burst out laughing. "Nice one. Where did you learn it?"

"My physics teacher. He likes to tell jokes. You want to hear one more?" Kisame nodded. Itachi just read a book. I checked to make sure it wasn't Make out Paradise, which it wasn't.

"Okay. So this guy is walking down the beach, right? Well he see's something in the sand, so he picks it up and dusts it off. Out pops a genie from a lamp. The genie says, "Hello. You have three wishes. But be warned. I am a divorce genie. Whatever you wish for, you ex-wife gets double of.' The guy thought 'Damn I hate that bitch. Okay focus on me.' 'Genie, my first wish is for $10million.' It poofed in front of him. 'There it is. Now remember, your ex got $20million.' The guy got angry, but focused on him. 'Genie, my second wish is for a Mazeradi.' A Mazeradi is a transportation unit in my world. He got it but the genie reminded him his ex got two put into her garage. He got angry, so he thought of his last wish. 'Genie, my last wish is for you to beat me half to death."

Once again Kisame was laughing. I was laughing with him. "Did that one come from you teacher also?" Kisame asked.

"Yes actually. Mr. Towne is the best teacher ever. He actually cares about his students." I laughed remembering how he egged me into yelling at some kid to pull up his pants. I know it doesn't seem like caring, but hey, there has to be comedy at some time right?

"So what was your life like before you came here?" Kisame asked.

"Well, I was a good student, getting some of the highest grades in my class. Go class of 2012! Anyways, I had good friends at the school I go to now. Well went to. I had great teachers. My life was good. The only thing I could complain about was moving around a lot. It was either my dad's job, or my mom's health. What about you? Anything special?"

"Nah. I'm a popular man back where I'm from. You probably know." He gave me a knowing smile.

"Yeah. I also know why Itachi did what he did. Such a nice person." Kisame looked at me like I was crazy. Itachi looked up from his book. His eyes were telling me to go no further. I did what they told me to do.

We ate the food and started out again. I started to yawn as the night dragged on. I felt myself nodding off. The next time I tripped, I felt someone grab the back of my shirt, and place me on their back.

"Go to sleep. You aren't used to this kind of activity. Get used to it, though. It happens a lot." Kisame started to walk again. The rhythmic movement caused my eyes to close, surrounding me in darkness.

Me: Another chapter finished. For those wondering, I really did get those jokes from my physics teacher. And I really yelled at the kid about his underwear. Mr. Towne came up next to and whispered, "Why does Danny want to show me his underwear?" I look and yell at the kid, "Danny, pull up your pants!"

Kisame: Your teacher has issues.

Me: *Pulling out a kunai* What did you say about him?

Kisame: Nothing. Don't worry. Oh! Instead of giving people cookies for reviewing, can we give them brownies?

Me: As long as they aren't special brownies I'm good. So for all of you out there, review and receive brownies from the dark side. We do have them, like we had the cookies. Chibi-Kyuubi-Chan, leave brownies for everyone, and you get the Akatsuki member of your choice for the day.

Akatsuki Members: Say what?

Me: Review before they kill me!
