Me and Bria had been walking and taking short breaks every now and then for 3 days now. "So…this Konoha place….just where then hell is it?" Bria asked breaking the unnerving silence between us.

To be honest, I was paranoid that Itachi and Kisame would find us and kick our ass. I began to think about Bria's question, wondering how to answer it, when I realized we were in an all too familiar place.

The training grounds! "HOLY SHIT!" I yelled. "WHAT!"Bria yelled just as loud. "We're almost there!" I said excitedly looking around. "Alright! I know we're going to beat Kakashi sensei this time!" I heard an all too familiar hyper voice say from the distance.

"Naruto! Stop being so loud!" A female said. "Oh GOD" I muttered. Just as I said that they walked through the bushes. Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi.

"Huh? Who are you? And what's with those weird clothes?" Naruto said. "NARUTO!" Sakura said. "OUR clothes are weird? Have you looked in a mirror lately? Who the hell wears orange jumpsuits? How out of date." Bria said. I quickly elbowed her in the side. "OW! That hurt! WHAT was that for?" She yelled. "Shut up!" I hissed.

I looked back at team seven. Shippuden! I thought to myself. We were defiantly in Naruto Shippuden era judging from their outfits, but what time? "Is Gaara still the Kazekage?" I asked. They all gave my suspicious look, except Naruto. "Yes" Kakashi answered. So Sasori is still alive! "What do you mean 'still'?" Sakura asked. I laughed nervously. "Oh nothing" I said.

"Just where are you too from? You two are certainly not Konoha citizens." Kakashi said. "We're from Ameri-" I quickly covered Bria's mouth. "We're from Americagakure" I answered calmly.

"I've never heard of it" Kakashi said narrowing his eyes. "Oh, it's uh, VERY small and destroyed. Everyone died except me and my friend here." I said gesturing to Bria.

GOD, that sounds so fucking stupid, I thought to myself. "Oh, so you have no where to stay?" Kakashi asked. "No, we've been wondering from place to place for ages now. We are dirty, hungry, and very tired Kakashi." I said only to regret it. "How did you know my name?" Kakashi asked.

"Ummm, that blonde kid said it before!" I said. "Ok, what are your names?" He asked. "Aria Richardson and-" Bria swiftly cut me off. "AND I'm Bria Crossling!" She said.

They gave us a weird look. "What?" She asked. "It's a Japanese thing" I said. She nodded but was still visibly confused. Kakashi cleared his throat making everyone look at him.

"Well, that's an odd name. I'm Kakashi Hatake." He said. I nodded. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki!" Naruto said, loud and proud. "I'm Sakura Haruno" Sakura said with a smile.

Bitch, I thought to myself. I never liked her. "We can take you to Konoha to see the Hokage." Kakashi said. I nodded.

After a while, we made it to the Hokage's mansion. We had a LONG conversation and it seems Tsunade didn't like Bria afterwards. We got to stay at Kakashi's place, and man was this gonna be hella fun! I signed.

It had been 1 day now and Kakashi wasn't here.

Today was the bell test thing that me and Bria had apparently interrupted yesterday, so he was at the training grounds. I was lying on the couch with Bria sitting at the end.

We were both wearing these plain clothes Kakashi had got us to wear while our old clothes were being washed. I wonder when those damn Akatsuki are gonna show up! I thought to myself.

With Kisame and Itachi-

Itachi was the first to wake up. He had quit the headache too. He looked around for his Akatsuki cloak which he found in a nearby bush. "It seems they took both mine and Kisame's weapons." He muttered. Itachi looked over at Kisame to see him just starting to wake up.

"What happened?" He started. "They drugged us." Itachi stated. Kisame growled and started to go on about how he would brutally murder them the next time he saw them.

"They are apparently smarter than we thought and not to be taken lightly."Itachi said in monotone. "How do we track them down?" Kisame said. "They have no chakra signature." "Kisame, we're going back to base." Itachi said secretly dreading having to face leader.

He would surely be angry at them for returning without the girls, but they wouldn't be able to find them without the help of the other Akatsuki.

After arriving back at base, and facing an angry Pein, Itachi along with Kisame went to the meeting room where the rest of the Akatsuki were.

"Itachi, do you have any idea where they may be?" Pein asked. "I assume they are in Konoha considering it was the closest to the area." Itachi answered. Pein nodded.

"Itachi, Kisame, Deidara, and Sasori, you are all to head to Konohagakure in search of them." Pein stated. "What do they look like?" Pein asked.

"One is named Bria. She has dark red hair and brown eyes. She has one distinctive trait, her earrings, which is a sun with a face. The other has light brown hair and green eyes with two freckles on each side of her face." Itachi answered.

Pein nodded again. "The rest of you are to continue with your mission and to look out for these two girls. You are all dismissed." Pein said. Everyone nodded and left.

Itachi, Kisame, Deidara, and Sasori left quickly on their journey to find the two girls.
