Chapter 36 Leave him alone.
'AND A TOAST FOR US ALL!' Lee cheered and everybody cheered with him. Everybody was done with the exams. And they had all passed. Well.. almost everybody. Naruto had to remake his math exam. For the rest of the subjects he had passed. They had went into the forest Neji and Lee always walked in, and Gaara now as well, and they held a picknick. Chouji was eating most of the time. The rest happily chattered about what they wanted to do now and they were bringing up memories from high school. Sai was laying on the grass, with Neji in his arms. Neji had his eyes closed and a smile lay on his face. Meanwhile Lee was sitting on Gaara's lap, and told Gaara stories and they laughed together. Shikamaru and Kiba.. well.. were kissing each other again, and Naruto.. Naruto was looking to Chouji, he was amazed how quickly Chouji could eat. (He hadn't passed out, because he was in therapy on that moment.) Shino and Kankurou were silently sitting next to each other, listening to Lee's stories. Suddenly the birds stopped singing. Neji opened his eyes, confused.
'Why are they stopping?'he said. On that moment, a puppet came out of a tree and attacked them. It almost struck Shikamaru and Kiba, who just in time evaded it.
'What the?' Lee said and everyone stood. The puppet backed up and attacked Neji, who counterattacked it with his Jyuukenhou, Hakke Rokujuu Yonshou. But suddenly Itachi was standing before him, holding onto Neji's hands.
'You didn't actually think that would work now did you?' He said, grinning. 'You've grown a lot, darling.' Neji tried to back up. What the hell was Itachi doing here?! Why were they back? Dammit, Itachi better let go of him, he touched him enough 2 and a half years ago. At that moment the rest of the Akatsuki members got out of the bushes, trapping the boys.
'Yeah! Itachi!' Deidara yelled and held onto Itachi's shoulders. Suddenly he begin singing. 'Follow the leader, leader, leader, follow the leader! Everyone! Follow the leader, leader leader!' The Akatsuki members sweatdropped. Itachi was getting pretty annoyed.
'Why did we made him a member?' He thought to himself.
'Not again.' Hidan mumbled.
'What are you doing here?' Kiba asked as he helped Shikamaru up.
'Oh? You really wanna know?' Itachi asked as he muffled off Deidara.
'Yeah, we do.' Lee said as he got ready to fight.
'Oh no, you're not gonna do anything.' Kakuzu said and attacked Lee, kicking him through a tree. Lee got unonsious.
'LEE!' Gaara yelled and ran to him. Deidara followed him and grabbed him by the neck, almost choking him.
'S…Stop it.' Gaara said. Then he passed out too. Deidara dropped him on the floor. He started singing. Again. 'I'm sexy, I'm hot, I'm everything you're not!' He was waving his hands while doing that. The Akatsuki members sweatdropped.
'WHY!? Do I like him again?' Sasori thought.
'We're here for Neji.' Itachi said ignoring Deidara in the background, still singing. Neji looked up to Itachi. 'No…not again.' He thought scared.
'You stay away from him!' Kiba yelled. He and Shikamaru both attacked, but Hidan grabbed their arms and pushed them to the floor. He broke Kiba's arm and Kiba started screaming. 'KIBA! YOU ASS STOP IT!' Shikamaru yelled desperately trying to break free. Hidan knocked him out and Kakuzu kicked Kiba in the head. He didn't moved anymore.
'Eliminate the others.' Itachi said. He pulled Neji closer. Neji was scared and was trying to break free but it was no use.
'Why are you doing this?' Neji asked scared. Itachi didn't answer. He just smirked and Kisame quickly bound Neji's hands together. Were they going to kidnap him again? The other Akatsuki members got Kankurou, Shino and Naruto out too. Sai was still awake. He was a better ninja then the rest and he ran upto Neji and Itachi.
'LET NEJI GO!' He yelled.
