Mmm No complaints atm:D...
Note from April 26th: I am Currently going through all my currently posted stories and checking spelling mistakes, missing information and everything of that category. I am working on the chapter that are still in the "Doc Manager" Area so I do not have to worry about them after I remove them. This will allow me to update the current chapters to stories that I have already checked. This does not effect when stories are updated at all.
Thank You.

"Alright so why did you gather us all here Kiba?" I sighed, crossing my arms. "You didn't even tell them why?" he shook his head laughing. "No… but Akuma went missing… Akamaru says she is past this bridge." He pointed towards the forest covered buildings.
"But something is scaring all the ground animals and preventing them from even going over there… even Foxy, who you know would chase after Akuma no matter what." Everyone stared over to Foxy who was pacing back and forth in the middle of the bridge as she kept her eyes glued on the deserted area.
"So why did you ask us to come?" Shikamaru said, yawning. "Look up Shikamaru." I said, he did and raised his brow. "All the ground animals stop here and all the animals that can go up in trees are at a very high spot, all ready to take off. Not just that… but look at the bottom of every tree."
Everyone followed to see the bottom of the trees. "There is no mistaking this then… This area is deserted." We all fell at Lee's comment, as he looked at each of us with confusion. "That is obvious…" I said, standing up.
"If you guys are going to enter in there, let me come along. I know more about this area than all of you children." I turned around at hearing a familiar voice to see Itachi walking up, wearing a straw hat and a cloak.
"Only because you know about this area." I said, moving off to the side to let him walk past me. He stopped and glanced down at both the fox and Foxy. "Bring the fox with us." He simply said as he stepped over the middle of the bridge and continued until the end. I nodded then walked over to the fox and Foxy. "Both of you get on me, we are going after Akuma."
Foxy jumped up onto my shoulder then stared down at the fox and mewed at him, making him jump on me. Both animals sat on both sides of my shoulders as I walked past the middle of the bridge. Suddenly I was overwhelmed with a different feeling. I could feel all the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I shook off the fear and stood next to Itachi as everyone else crossed the bridge, getting the same feeling I was.
Itachi nodded to us as he led us through the wooded homes. "This area turned this way 17 years ago…" Itachi began. "This place was filled with families and was the original location of Konoha High… I don't think any of you know that the school you go to is just a replica of the old school." We stared at each other.
"Watch your step." Itachi said, stepping over a set of bones, causing us to hurry around it. "This area is literally a ghost town. You will hear the screams, everything as it is on repeat from what happened 17 years ago." I narrowed my eyes at him as he stopped in the middle in a small opened area. He lifted his arm and pointed off in a direction.
"That is Konoha High." We all looked over to see a building with the frame of our current school, but slightly boarded up and decayed with jungle growing all around it. "This is the original area Akuma lived… And this was where Akuma was kidnapped before." At hearing that comment, Itachi had my full attention.
"You mean when she was a baby?" he nodded, making the others stare at us. "Akuma has always been afraid to come this far, so that is why Foxy is afraid to be here."I glanced up at Foxy to see her fur all fluffed out as she looked around in fear.
"Excuse me but how would you know any of this?" Shikamaru asked. "I was 5 when this all happened, so I was old enough for this to be burned into my head." I sighed as I looked around the area. I could see shadows running around as if they were playing while some were running in fear. 'This is literally a ghost town…' I thought as a child's cry echoed through the woods.
"I don't know about you guys but this is getting scary…" Kiba said as he twitched at everything. "It will… Konoha quickly pushed this area off to the side and treated it as nothing and created an area off to the side calling it the real Area of Konoha… when this was the original main Konoha. They made a completely new Konoha off this Konoha… my father, and Sasuke's father that is… he thought this was a stupid idea. To create a new Konoha based off the one they refused to clean up."
I glanced to the side as some shadows hid behind trees as we walked by. "Animals that are on the ground fear this area, not because of the ghost town… but because of what made it a ghost town." We all turned to Itachi as he stopped at a building. "This building is where Akuma was kidnapped to… think of the current Konoha and then look at this building."
I glanced behind me then judged the distance and frowned. "This is the old chemical plant isn't it?" Gaara asked, crossing his arms. "Correct… it was the original lab where they tried to find cures for diseases and where they tried to find different methods to energy and everything. Akuma's body did get harmed by these chemicals, seeing as she was a baby. But it didn't kill her because her parents took the entire damage to their body and shielded Akuma from it."
"Why was Akuma brought here in the first place?" I nodded in agreement. "Akuma's parents were very famous… Akuma would be the best target to run off with to get what the person wanted."
"Akuma had a news site up on her laptop." I said, making Itachi turn around instantly and give a look of slight shock. "Akuma was out right blamed in a newspaper for the death of over 1 million citizens of Konoha… The people didn't die right after Akuma was kidnapped to here… no one actually knew that the chemical lab had a malfunction, not even the workers until it was too late."
"Then why was Akuma blamed?" Lee asked, no fear present in him as he was oblivious to everything around him. "She was the only one to survive here."
"What?" I asked, Itachi nodded to me as he walked past the building, going up a hill. "Her body was already infected by the chemicals… so her immune system already caused her to be immune to the chemicals from the lab. So the day it happened, she was the only one to be found alive all alone crying under the bodies of several citizens who looked like they shielded her from debris."
I glanced back towards the lab and noticed that it indeed looked like the building had exploded many years ago. "God it feels like I'm walking through a horror film." Kiba said, hugging himself as he followed Itachi.
"It isn't so bad, it's not like they can harm us. They can touch us and try to speak to us, but they cannot harm us. And it is obvious that the forest here is dead because of those chemicals. The trees aren't its normal life color." Gaara said, walking past Kiba, who stuck his tongue out in return.
We all heard a scream, causing us all to stop walking, including Itachi. "That didn't sound friendly Gaara!" Kiba said, hiding behind Gaara in fear. "No duh dumbfuck that was Akuma!" I said through grit teeth as I tried to follow the scream.
"Sasuke wait! If you run around here blind you might go into a batch of the chemical and end up dead!" I instantly stopped, and was pulled back by Itachi as he pointed ahead. "That right there… you can see an off faint of color in the air… that is the chemical in the ground coming up. You almost walked right into that." I growled.
"Then lead us to Akuma faster!" I glared up at him as he gave me a blank stare. I watched something pass through his eyes, instantly making me frown in realization. I pulled away from Itachi as he walked around the chemicals and lead us through to a safe route.

It will seem confusing in this chapter and in the next one, but you just have to hold for a few to understand what is going on/what happened lol... On a side note, I didn't read over this chapter so there will be spelling mistakes and all that.
As of April 26th, I have started working on my stories to edit them properly. I have found many mistakes still left behind and plan to edit them. Sorry for all the spelling mistakes even up to this point, I will work on fixing them. Thank you for those that understand.
