A/N: I know, I know. I told you guys that I wouldn't be updating for a while, but then I got sick and couldn't go to sleep. (It's 3 am!) It sucks, I hate my stomach, but in a way I don't. I got a lot of writing done because of my baka of a stomach. Soooo, here is another chapter. I will update a lot tomorrow because, well… I had time to write, but didn't want it to just be one chapter. Um … I think that I went a little bit fast at the end and pushed things a bit too fast, but then again it could just be me, because I have a fever and all and shouldn't be up, but am. I hope it's okay and sorry if there are any errors with grammar or anything, for I am sick and need to sleep, but cannot. Grr… Ranting is done now! R&R&F! (This was from a while ago and I didn't feel like rewriting an a/n, so it's still here...)

Disclaimer: I don't feel like doing anything special, so, I do NOT own Naruto. ^_^

"The shinbone is a device for finding furniture in the dark." - Soo true ... and painful!

"Finally, I am done! Stupid bombs, yeah." Bakuhatsu said sitting down on the couch at HQ.

"Oh, shut up. You whine too much that I sometimes think you are a woman." Oki said as he typed on his computer.

"Well fuck you too Oki! You are just pissed that I have better hair than you, un." Bakuhatsu said.

"Why you little…"

"Shut up, the both of you!" Mr. Yuugure said walking in the room with Jakutai.

"Has Rikou checked in yet?" Mr. Yuugure asked. Oki and Bakuhatsu shook their heads no.

"Getting the girl should not be that difficult. If you want things done right, you have to do them yourself I guess." Mr. Yuugure thought as he was about to walk out of the room, but just then Rikou walked in with a girl on his shoulder unconscious.

"There you are. What took so long?" Mr. Yuugure asked as Oki and Bakuhatsu helped take the girl to tie her to the chair they had in the corner.

"It would have gone smoother if that … girl wasn't so, so … annoying. Every two minutes she would ask me the stupidest questions. Like 'why are you kidnapping me?' or 'why are the tips of your hair red?' It was so annoying and she kept trying to get away, even after I put a gun to her head. It's like she has a death wish or something." Rikou said sitting on the couch. Mr. Yuugure looked at the girl in the corner and shook his head.

'Kate would have this girl, Max, as a friend. Now that we have her friend, all we need to do is make sure she gets the message that we have her and to come alone. If we get Kate here, then we can get Nyan here and then we can kill them. But I guess they both could come, but that wouldn't be as fun as torturing Nyan.' Mr. Yuugure thought. Oki got back to his computer getting plans worked out with their overseas friends, Bakuhatsu finished making his bombs, but he now had to work on the remotes for them. Rikou had done his part and now he had to look after the girl. Jakutai went off into his little room that Mr. Yuugure had given him. Why? Jakutai said that he needed space to do what he had to do. No one besides Mr. Yuugure and Jakutai knew what Jakutai was doing. Mr. Yuugure left to make sure that Kate got the message.

"I'm almost done with my plan." Jakutai said to himself as he finished writing scrolls about Ryo's book. He had been researching Ryo and his finding since Orochimaru had gotten the book into his hands. Ryo had found some interesting things; for one, yes he did get rid of the use of chakra, but he also knew how to bring it back if he so wanted it. The only problem though, was that Ryo was careful, very careful in writing his 'book of secrets' because he didn't want anyone to find out exactly how to use his book and what to do, to do what he had done. Thus Ryo using clues that led to more clues that often led to dead ends, but Jakutai had found out how to read Ryo's book and he also found out how Ryo sent the fictional characters to a different dimension. He knew that Nyan or Itachi also knew how to read Ryo's book in their dimension because of his Sharingan, but now that he didn't have his Sharingan, he wouldn't be able to read it, no one would besides him. Although, no one knew that he had even taken it with him, but they didn't need to know, now did they?

Can't make my own decisions
Or make any with precision
Well maybe you should tie me up
So I don't go where you don't want me
You say that I've been changing
That I'm not just simply aging
Yeah, how could that be logical?
Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat
You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you pint a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

I was listening to Playing God by Paramore in my room while I was cleaning up in my room when a knock came at my door. I shut off my IHome and answered it. It was Nyan. 'Great, I bet he wants to talk about my diary.' I thought as I stood aside to let him in my room.

"Did you need something?" I asked sitting on my bed as he sat in my chair. 'This is looking familiar, like the night when I had that nightmare…'

"Here." He said as he handed me my diary. Why the hell was he giving me my diary back, unless he already read it?

"Um … Thanks, I think." I said putting it back in my drawer. He sat there, just looking at me; I looked back waiting for him to get to his point. We stayed like that for a while until he said something.

"I'm sorry for taking it." He looked sincerely sorry about it, but that didn't change that fact that he actually took it.

"Thank you, but you still took it."

"But I did not read it." 'Huh? Did I just hear him correctly?'

"You didn't read it? Then why take it?"

"I was going to read it, but then I realized that it was wrong. I do not know what got into me and I regret it." Wow, Nyan actually regretted something.

"Okay. I forgive you. But there is something that I want to know." I said looking away.

"What?"

"The night when I had that nightmare, why did you stay?" I didn't look at him as I asked because I didn't want to see what his face would show or if it would show anything. He stayed silent for a moment trying to find the right words.

"You were scared and in an emotional state. You would have not gone back to bed because of that. You had comfort with me there." He said, I looked back and his eyes showed a kind of softness, a warm feeling. I smiled.

"Thank you." I said. He nodded and got up.

"But you know, you taking my diary means that I don't owe you anything for leaving Max and me alone last night." I said smirking as I opened my door for him. He glared for a moment and then smiled … wait, a smile?

"But I did not read it. I only took it because Max gave it to me. I think you still owe me." 'Damn him for his reasoning that seemed right.'

"Fine." I said shutting the door in his face. I got back to cleaning my room when I got a call on my cell phone. Max.

"Hey Max. What's up?" I asked sitting on my bed.

"Um … Kate? I think we have a situation here. You know…"

"Max? Are you there…"

"Hello Kate. Miss me?" Pein! That bastard.

"Where is Max? What the hell do you want?"

"Me? I want you of course. You broke up the Akatsuki and changed many things in my dimension."

"So? Max has nothing to do with this! You want me and only me! Let her go now!" I practically screamed into my phone.

"I will. But you have to come to the location where we are keeping her and alone. Bring Itachi and Max dies."

"Fine. But if Max is hurt, I swear I will…"

"She won't be. Now go to the abandoned warehouse on Seventh Street. Alone." Pein hung up at that moment. 'Fuck this! Tae, I don't know what to do. I have to go!'

'Kate, think about this. Tell Itachi, but make sure he doesn't come in after you until Max is safe.'

'But Pein could have Kisame or Sasori or Deidara or whoever, spy near by. If they even get a whiff of Itachi or anyone else, they will kill her! I can't risk that.'

'Damn it Kate, listen to me! If you go in there alone, you will die! Do you hear me? If you die, what will Pein do then? He is in this dimension for a reason, if you are dead, who will try to stop him? Itachi? Maybe, but you guys work well together and if there is only one of you, then the chances of defeating Pein is smaller!

'Tae, I know the risks that are involved, but what about Max? Either way you put it, if I go with Itachi she is dead, if I don't go, she is dead!'

'I'm sorry, but for the greater good. You should not go. You could be saving more than one life.'

'No. She is my best friend. I will not let her die. I'm sorry Tae.' I thought as I grabbed my pocket knife and a sweatshirt.

'Kate, listen to me!' I ignored him and walked out of my room only to find Itachi in the kitchen. It was useless to use his fake name now that Pein revealed himself, but I couldn't tell Itachi that.

"I'm going out for a bit with Max. I'll be back later. I wrote this note telling my mom that I am going out and that I taught you English. You should be good with out me. If you need anything call." I said putting my shoes on. He nodded, but I could tell he was thinking that I wasn't telling the truth. I ignored him and got into my car. It was going to be a long thirty minute drive.

Um ... I am thinking about uploading one other chapter ... I think ... yeah I will. Soo, yeah... Ugh, I sound loke Diedei! Great! R&R&F please!
