The next day, just like you'd told Kakashi, you had headed stright to the small secluded parkl after work. For some strange reason, Hirishima had let you off early. Well, you guessed it was because you had already cleaned everyhting that had arrived, and that you were trying, at the end of the day, to clean off the bloodstains you left on the floor. Shim just laughed and sent you off with you (obnoxiuously large)pay for the week.

You never really knew how you could make so much money just by cleaning a few sharp things. It's not like your life was on the line, rioght? Well... In your case, that might be it. But, well, anyways. Point is, you were now sitting on a bench in the park, staring at the pond. The ducks were there today, and you had thought about bringing a few leftover bread slices to give them. They seemed to like it. That thought put a small smile on your face.

"At least you're having a good time. I'm as bored as hell, duckies." You shrugged after having brought your knees up to your chest. Thank god the bench was large enough for you to do that. Otherwise you would've had to endure a painful normal sitting position.

And that's when something hit you square on the head. After having cursed once or twice and rubbed your head, you looked to your right to find a small orange book. You recognised it on the spot. But what struck you as strange was that it was exactly the same novel you were reading at the shop earlier that morning while you were waiting for Shima to come down and tell you what to do. The same novel, you were sure, you had in your lap.

And, as a matter of a fact, the very same book WAS in your lap. You quirked a brow; why the hell would a BOOK, out of all things, fall from the sky?

"Sorry, my bad." You heard behind you, and you nearly jumped three feet in the air. Nearly. If you hadn't recognised the voice and silky feeling of that silver hair against your cheek, you probably would've screamed your lungs out and said you were going to be raped or something.

"Why'd you buy a-an other one?" you asked, cursing that silky silver hair for making you stutter. Not only did Kakashi FEEL good(his hair, mind you!), but he had to SMELL good, too. Though you quickly hid your uneasiness with a shiver. Thank god for the chilling air.

"Because a little theif came into my room to steal my only copy." Kakashi answered slyly, jumping over the bench to sit beside you. The duckls flinched a bit. You chuckled inwardly; why was it that, of all things, you chose to notice the DUCKS? It wasn't like there wasn't anything else that was (WAY)more interesting that a few ducks.

"Heh, well, uh... Any way I can repay you?" you asked sheepishly, rubbing the back of your head. You had taken the thing without thinking Kakashi was reading the same thing..! You thought he was a lot further than just the... Seventh tome. Then again, maybe he was re-reading the entire series...? And seeing as he was addicted to the damn thing, it didn't surprise you that he'd go buy an other one... You should've seen that coming.

"...Well, there IS one thing I could think of." Kakashi said in a low tone, and you didn't even realise he'd snaked his arm around your shoulders. You thought it was just something meaningless. You often did that to your friends back home, for no valid reason. I mean, you sure as heck weren't a lesbian. Well, as far as you knew, anyways.

"Er, and uh, what would that be?" You asked hesitantly, eying Kakashi curiously. Whatever he was planning behind that mask of his didn't really ring any positive bells in your head. More like a few dozen alarms more than anything.

Alarms… Yeah, that sounded about right. Something about all this felt wrong to you. The way Kakashi was acting, the way everything just seemed too perfect… Not to mention romantic. No, this wouldn't EVER happen with him. Hirishima, MAYBE… But then again, that would be leaning towards incest, since you saw him as a brother, and he saw you as a sister.

Just what the hell was going on..?

"Just go to sleep, Yuuko…" He whispered, uncovering his Sharingan eye. But that's when something in your head slicked. Since when was Kakashi able to use the sharingan in both eyes…? You came to scream out something, but no sound came from between your lips as the world felt like it was being sucked into a black void.

//----------------------------------\

Your head hummed with a dull song of pain, like if a basse drum was pounding in your head. It WASN'T a comfortable feeling, to say the least. It was like someone was struming your neurones like some kind of a guitare. And the worst part was, every time you tried to open your eyes, you found that your head felt like it was going to explode, of be sliced in half. With a VERY blunt knife.

You groaned, wincing in pain as the sound resonated through your skull, almost amplifying your headache tenfold. Well, getting up was out of the question, so was talking and opening your eyes. All you had left was listening to what was going on around you. And, to be honest, it was BORING as freakin' HELL! No one was talking, and no one was walking, as far as you could hear. There wasn't even the slightest indication that someone else aside you was alive.

…If you WERE alive.

…Well, of course you were. You wouldn't feel any searing, tear-drawing pain if you were dead, right? That somewhat reassured you, though you were still desperate to find out were you were and what had happened.

…What had happened? You were blacked out by Kakashi was what happened! Why, the minute you would lay your hands on that stupid little neck of hi-

Wait. That COULDN'T have been Kakashi. He only has the Sharingan in his left eye, not both… And the only other person you knew who could use the Sharingan was Sasuke. And he was LOOONG gone.

And then you thought of Itachi.

And then EVERYTHING came together. You were from an other world, and knew more about Naruto and the outcome of everything than ANYONE actually THERE. Crap, three weeks was all it took for the Akatsuki to find you OUT?! Oh, this wasn't good. They'd squeeze all the information out of you and THEN kill you..! And here you were starting to enjoy life so much more than before. You were too happy to die NOW!!

"I see you're awake." A voice at your right muttered, and you jumped; had Itachi been there all that time? Of course not. You would've AT LEAST heard him breathe. He must've just gotten there… By using that stupid little flashy thing ninjas do.

You winced when you felt two fingers on your forehead; that was NOT helping your KILLER headache..! Though, after a few seconds, you took back that thought. The pain was slowly ebbing away. It was nice. You felt like floating…

That's when your eyes fluttered open. It took a while to get adjusted to the dim lighting, but after a while(and after Itachi had removed his fingers from your forehead), you sat up to look around.

You were in a dakr circular room. There wasn't a single window, though there were two or three mirrors here and there, to give the impression that there WERE windows. Candles were lit here and there for lighting, and you were lying in a high bed, curtains hanging from the high besposts. Everything was either a dark crimson shade or plain black. You liked it, though you couldn't help but feel nervous.

"…Th-thank you." You muttered to Itachi, looking down at the hand in your lap. You weren't going to look the guy in the EYES! Honestly, you were smarter than that.

You didn't receive a response from the older Uchiha, if only some form of a 'hn' and the sound of a cloak fluttering away. Well damn. There you were, in the Akatsuki's hideout, no one knew you had been womannapped(you weren't a kid anymore, you know), and you wer probably going to die. Oh JOOOOOY.

Kakashi's P.O.V

Yuuko left this morning with my ONLY copy of the seventh Icha Icha Paradise volume again. Not like I cared all that much, she'd just bring it back after work. And I'd just reda the eighth one instead. Though I had to admit, I missed that little book…

It was the end of the day; I'd gone training with Sakura and Naruto again, under the orders of Tsunade, of course. Those two really have gotten better… It bruises my ego a little to think that they can actually beat me, if they put enough effort into it. Maybe I should train more myself. Or ask Tsunade-sama to give me harder missions…

I was heading to the park Yuuko said she would be at after work. I was actually looking forward to seeing her earlier than usual today. That girl really had done a number on me, even though I was still reluctant to see it. I was actually happy to have someone around, even though we were silent around each other most of the time.

Though, I froze when I got to the park.

Ther Yuuko was… With ME. But I was there, on my way to the park. She back up on the bench a little bit, eying the other me curiously. I saw her mouth part in a silent scream when my other self liften his forehead protector, and my book fell to the ground when I saw MATCHING red eyes. Though, before I could do anything ,the pair had vanished.

I could feel my heart pounding in me head, and I raced to go see Tsunade, not even caring for the forgotten novel o nthe ground. I had to get Yuuko back…

No matter what.

//----------------------------------\

You shrugged and looked around the room for the umpteenth time already. There really wasn't anything interesting for a girl to do in that place! EVERYTHING was beyond the normal level of boredom you'd learn to know, AND avoid, for that matter. There weren't any weapons, nothing shiny, no games, books…

Speaking of the devil, you looked down in your lap- THERE it was! You inwardly jumped for joy when you saw the small orange book, cracking open its pages and continuing your reading. Though, you couldn't help but feel uneasy. There you were, reading the time away while a group of rogue ninja were planning your ultimate demise.

"…I have to get out of here…!" you whined, letting yourself fall bvack on the comfortable bed, spreading your arms at your sides.

"And just how do you plan to do that, un?" an OTHER voice asked, at your left this time, making you jump into a sitting position in the bed once more. You were about to cry out the man's name, but you figured that would be a dead giveaway as to who you were…

"D-dare ka?" you masked with a question, backing up the slightest bit.

"You don't need to know my name, un." Deidara replied, crossing his arms. Like you needed to know who he was anywyas. "The leader wants to talk to you, un. Follow me." He said shortly, instantly turning around to leave the room, through a door you hadn't noticed before.

You stumbled out of bed, barefooted, the necklace around your neck jingling with the symbol you adored; the ourobouros. You loved Fullmetal Alchemist ALMOST as much as Naruto. But not quite. And right now, you thought that alchemy would be a darn good fix for this situation. You'd be able to make a tunnel and escape…! Or at least blow stuff up and make doors everywhere and run like the wind. Not that it would help much; they'd eventually catch up to you. And even though you'd been having classes with Hitaru until she got injured(speaking of which, you made a mental not to go see her if you ever got out of there alive), it still wasn't NEAR enough to even survive three seconds in a fight against these guys.

You sighed, hanging your head, your feet quietly padding against the cold floor, following Deidara closely. The LAST thing you wanted was to get lost and bump into someone you DIDN'T want to bump into. Like, say, Zetsu. You know, the human Venus Flytrap? Well yeah.

"We're here, un." He stated after walking for about five minutes, pointing a pair of large ebony doors, then turning around to walk away.

"Wait, you're not coming with me?" you asked nervously, wringing your hands together.

Deidara laughed for a few seconds, before shaking his head and muttering something like 'innocent brat, un' beofre dissapearing into the dark halls. You turned back to the doors, sighing one last time. Might as well put on a brave face, right..?

You took a deep breath and pushed on the double doors, walking into the MUCH brighter room. This one had windows, and a desk. Though the man sitting behind the desk was shrouded in darkness, as was the person standing next to him. You supposed that was the only female in the Akatsuki…

"Takes a seat, please." He said in a low voice, making a shiver or two run up your spine. Well, you were gona die soon. "Do you know why you're here?" he asked after you had sat down in one of the richly decorated chairs.

"N-no, sir. One minute I was in the park in Konoha, and the other I woke up in a bed here, with a splitting headache." You said in a confident tone, staring straight into the Leader's eyes.

"…Do you even know where you hadn't, miss?" He asked, almost completely ignoring your reply, as if the question itself was pointless.

"I'm sorry if this sound rude, sir, but I'd have to be a brainless idiot not to know where I am." You replied a little more harshly, your grip on your hands tightening even more.

"Yes well, at least you know, right?" you heard him chuckled lightly, an other shiver running up your spine. DAMN you hated this guy already..! "Well then, I suppose you would like to know why you're here, right?" he asked, and you nodded stiffly, your gaze still firmly planted into his own. "You see, we've caught wind of the news that a girl from an other world was in Konoha again. And that this particular girl would know much more about our fate than the others."

Your mind went blank. An OTHER girl? Know more than the OTHERS? That means that… Those fanfictions you read so many times; they were actually PLAUSIBLE? They had actualy HAPPENED..? And the Akatsuki… They actually managed to capture them?

"I'm sorry, but I'm just a normal Konohagakure citizen who firmly believes that there IS no other world aside from our own." You answered, giving yourself a mental pat on the back for the tone you had adopted, and managed to keep. "And I'd ask you to let me go home… Though I've figured that since I've actually gotten here once, that you'd never let me get out alive." You added stiffly, wanting to tear your eyes away, but keeping them riveted to the man in front of you.

"Well, I'm not THAT cruel..!" he laughed, and you could vaguely tell that he was leaning further against the desk he was sitting behind. "Though you're right on one thing; we're not letting you out of here."

You gulped, not really liking the tone that he used to say that last statement, digging your nails into your elbow as a billion shivers ran up and down your spine. You weren't liking this ONE SINGLE BIT.

//----------------------------------\

"You'll be staying here for the time being." Itachi said in his normal dakr and monotone voice, opening the door to your new temporary room. "If you try to run away… We'll all know." He stated simply, before walking off.

"…Way to warn me." You shrugged, stepping through the doorway and closing the door behind you. No doupt about it, the room sure WAS a helluva lot bigger than what you were accustomed to. It wasn't round, though it still looked ominous to you. It was lit the same way the round room was, with the same kind of bed, though THIS one had the Akatsuki cloud on it.

…Damn those clouds.

You'd drawn FOURTEEN on a drawing once. You've hated those clouds ever SINCE.

You walked up to the bed, pressing down on it lightly; you smirked. It was just as fluffy as the one in the round room, if not MORE. Then, noticing the dresser in the corner of the room, you skipped to it, cracking the doors open.

The obvious things you never expected.

The dresser was FILLED with clothes; all looked like they were made for you. The cloaks, the shirts… And, with a blush, you even noted the underwear; bra and panties alike. Though, to your delight, they were black. You loved black, no matter how you wore it.

"Like what you see, un?"

And then you screamed your lungs out. You'd been dying to do that for a while.

"Geez, woman, shut up, un!" Deidara cried, covering his ears. You instantly shut up when you saw him cover his ears; didn't he have like, MOUTHS in his hands? Can he really control them like he says he can…?

"Well, j-just don't barge in like that! I could've been naked, you know!" You cried in defense, shutting the dresser doors.

"And you wouldn't still be there, un." Deidara countered with a smirk, removing his hands from his ears and crossing his arms. "Anyways, just wanted to introduce myself, un. My name's Deidara, un." He said, extending a hand.

"…Yuuko." I said, eying the hand curiously. I thought about saying something about the mouths in his hands, though you thought that over. That, too, would be a dead giveaway of your being from an other world. So, much to your horror, you forced yourself to shake Deidara's hand.

And then yelped. Having something lick the inside of your palm is NOT fun.

"Sorry. Acts on its own, un." Deidara smirked again, raising his palm to show the hand… Actually licking its lips. It really WAS disturbing to watch.

"J-just keep your hands to hyourself next time."

"I guarantee nothing, un."

Poof, he was gone.

"…Perv."
