AN:
JK: My fingers are itching to move, and I'm ready, folks!! This is the test.
To Fuhrer Sakura Taisen - Thxs! I hope it does too. (JK is sitting in her driveway with a laptop just in case .)
To Chipmunk-Chihuahua Hybrid - Ouch! I feel for you, buddy. (winces)
To t.A.T.u Crazi - Hey, it's original! I'm really not planning to show Deidara get spanked again, though he will be.
To Ying-Yang Dragon of the Sand - I agree. I left a review for your story, though I really don't get it. Please don't ask me to review for anything, though. I tend to do that on my own.
To cyberspyderweb - Aww...(blushes) I'm not so great...yeah, I feel for Ita-chan's rear, too.
To the lovely cip-san - It was a ring (an Itachi Akatsuki one, to be exact), not keyring, sweetie. But thank you ;) And your nasty feeling is right if Kisame has anything to say about it!!
To NamimiNakashima - Glad you love it!
To TEAL-BLU shamrock - That WOULD be a good idea IF I hadn't already ordered an Akatsuki jacket off it already and it took an eternity to come (that thing actually came). The website also says nothing about its shipping.
Current Chapter Contains: ...Words. No spanking or References. Well, maybe a reference. I dunno.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Itachi didn't show up for breakfast the next morning.
Kisame had said that when he woke up (at 5 a.m.) Itachi wasn't in his bed, so the Akatsuki figured he had gone for a walk. Kisame doubted it, though. Breakfast was at 8 a.m. Unless Itachi got lost. He almost laughed at that idea.
"Don't worry, Kisame," Leader assured him. "Itachi will be back soon."
When the afternoon came around, and there was still no sign of the Sharingan user, Kisame began to worry. He even got to the point of pacing in the living room.
(Don't worry, Kisame...) he thought. (This is Itachi-kun. He'll be fine. He's probably training...)
By dinnertime, Itachi still wasn't home. Kisame had an awful sinking feeling in his stomach.
"Leader-sama, I'm worried about Itachi-kun!" he sighed, drumming his fingers on the coffee table nervously. "I hope he's alright...! What if something happened to him? What if ANBU captured him? What if...oh my God..." Kisame trailed off. Leader raised an eyebrow.
"Kisame, please. Stop. You'll only worry yourself further." Leader ushered Kisame toward the stairs. "You should get some rest. Itachi will be home by morning. I'm sure of it."
Unfortunately, even the great Leader-sama must be wrong sometimes as by morning there was still no sign of Itachi. By now, Kisame was nearly sick with worry.
"I don't care, I'm going out to find him!" Kisame announced in the afternoon. The rest didn't stop him. They were getting worried, too.
-Meanwhile-
"You're serious?" Itachi asked. His test was simple. Leave early in the morning to 'take a walk' then hide for a while. Deidara would fill him in on what was happening. "He's really looking for me?"
"Yeah, un. He's worried sick." Deidara answered.
"I have a bad feeling of how worried he is." Itachi muttered, clutching his stomach.
"I told you, sick, un."
"I've got a feeling this won't end to pleasently for my rear end."
-Back With Kisame-
Our poor sharky friend was running all over the place trying to find Itachi.
"Itachi-kun!! Itachi-kun!!" he called. He kept looking until about 7 p.m., then retreated home.
"Couldn't find him?" Konan asked.
"No..." Kisame sighed. He joined the Akatsuki in the living room to relax, but just couldn't. Then, at 8 o'clock, the front door opened. Everyone turned to see Itachi in the doorway.
"I'm home." he said nonchalantly, feeling butterflies in his stomach.
"Itachi-kun!!" Kisame quickly hugged him, suffocating the poor thing in the process.
"K-Kisame...!" Itachi gasped, unable to breathe. The Akatsuki felt an urge to leave.
"We'll leave you two here so you can 'talk'." Leader said as they left the fortress. No one wanted to be in Kisame's way when he was angry or upset. When they were alone, Kisame released Itachi.
"Go to your room, Itachi-kun. I'll be up in a minute." he said quietly.

JK: Next chappie I'm planning to make Itachi's punishment severe, kinda. It may be up later today, or maybe tomorrow. I dunno. JK out.
