Hello everyone, I have good news, and bad news.
Bad news: This story is coming to an end.
Good news: Because I enjoy torturing Autumn, there will be a sequel, and this story will be marked as 'in progress' because I'll be doing extra bonus chapters even after it's over. But don't be sad, there are still like... I really don't know how many chapters of the actual story are left. Depends on whatever comes to mind.
Anyway lets get on with it,
Disclaimer: I don't own naruto
-Rumble...-
-Crash!!-
-BOOM!!-
-ROAR!-
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
It was a dark and stormy night, Autumn was standing bravely by the window. While instead her friend, May, was hiding, not as bravely, under her sleeping bag.
"Could you please stop screaming?" Autumn pleaded. This had been going on for most of the night, and they still had to go to school in the morning.
-CRASH, BOOM, ROAR!!-
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" May screamed again. Why did this have to happen on a school night?
-BANG!!-
"AAAHHH-"
"SHUT UP!!" That was it, Autumn had finally lost her patience. This girl was thirteen for pete's sake! There was no good excuse for her to be afraid of a little storm. (I'm saying this, and yet...) It was past midnight, and Autumn still hadn't gotten a minute of sleep! Of course Autumn wasn't affected that much, see as she was used to such, but when she was an insomniac, she spent her nights in complete silence. And this was as far from that as you could get. May suddenly froze, it was probably because she had never been yelled at by Autumn before.
"A-autumn..."
"What did I just say?"
"B-b-b-but..."
"Just stay in your little corner, and everything will get better," May finally stopped whimpering, and pointed in Autumn's general direction.
"What?" Autumn asked, turning around. Behind her were ten very familiar figures, all standing in the shadows. As soon as a flash of lightning briefly illuminated the looks on their faces, she automatically realized that she was is a whole lot of trouble. Now in front of her, stood the akatsuki. All dripping wet, and all of them looked very unhappy (Not including Itachi 'cuz he's awesome like that).
Autumn, despite the seriousness of her current situation, burst out laughing.
"... and what, is so funny?" Pein asked, glaring at her.
-CRASH!!-
May, who was still terrified, let out a small squeal, and hid back in her sleeping bag. Sadly for her, that small squeal was just enough to get her noticed.
The akatsuki briefly glanced at the poor girl in the corner, before they moved. Itachi picked up Autumn, from where she was still laughing on the floor, and left the room. The rest of the akatsuki followed, but Pein took one final glance at May, and left.
"Ooooowwwwww..." Autumn whined.
The once joyful sound of laughter had been quickly replaced by the sound of some poor unfortunate person groaning in pain. If anyone from the outside world could have heard if over the storm, surely they would've come to help said person, but of course, they lived in an old house in the agricultural district, with no neighbors, and a huge storm raging outside. No one would hear them scream.
"Where have you been?" Pein asked, sternly.
"I could ask you all that same thing. I haven't seen any of you since I was kidnapped (again) by the 'Evil Assistant Point-Dexter of Doom', and taken to the 'evil under ground brothel' and forced to join the 'harem of no return'." Itachi raised an eyebrow, but kept silent.
"I suppose that by 'Point-Dexter', you mean Kabuto," Sasori said, walking forward toward Autumn.
"No, I'm talking about the other evil silver-haired freak that works for Orochimaru, and has been stalking me for the past two years," she responded, cheekily. Sasori glared at her, and raised his hand threateningly. As a response, Autumn let her aura flare dangerously, which matched the mood since a huge crash of thunder roared at the same time. Sasori's glare hardened, but he backed off.
"I see that I'll have to give you another lesson in respect, shoujo," Autumn squeaked, something in his voice told her that he wasn't kidding. Her chakra's signal retreated into her body, and she back herself into a corner. She saw Itachi whisper something to Pein, hopefully in her defense, and felt his powerful chakra slowly retreat as hers did.
"Your punishment can wait, you said you were kidnapped by Kabuto?" Autumn nodded,
"Yes..."
"Tell us the whole story. What happened after Itachi and Konan left?"
"Two days after they left, I heard Kabuto going door to door... looking for me," Pein cut her off,
"How do you know that it was you he was searching for?"
"... He described the person as an average size girl with brown hair, and matching eyes, he said she was wearing unusual clothes, and had a mood swings," a few people muttered in agreement. Pein nodded for her to go on,
"When he came to my room, he knew it was me when I didn't answer. He had a clone placed outside of the room, so I couldn't escape, and he was going to break the door down. I threw a leftover kunai at the clone, but it caught it,"
"So that's when you were captured," It was more of a statement than a question.
"No, someone threw a kunai at the clone's back, and told me to jump," She was purposefully going to leave out her trip to Konoha.
"Did you see who?"
"No, the smoke from the clone masked their face, all I know is that they caught me, and told me to run. I ran far enough as the border, before Kabuto caught up with me,"
"I see. If you spent that much time in Orochimaru's lair, then there's no need for any further torture. You will once again be in the care of Itachi. Our world isn't safe for you right now. You are both dismissed." Autumn and Itachi nodded, and left.
-ROAR!!-
"What's wrong? Why are you guys here?" Autumn asked Itachi as they were climbing the stairs.
"It's Leader-sama,"
"Please tell me he's not thinking about killing me again!" she whined, last time, someone got hurt.
"..."
"He is isn't he?"
"..."
"What do I have to risk my life for this time?"
"..." Itachi's lack of answering was starting to piss her off. Autumn stopped in the middle of the stairs in protest,
"Tell me!"
"In the past five months that you've had the sharingan, has it improved any?" She stared at him. She had never really cared, and she had no use for it after she left, so...
"I'm not sure, why?"
"Show me,"
"What?"
"Activate your sharingan," Autumn, not sure of what was going on, did as she was told. Itachi examined it for a bit, then nodded,
"You've been training," he confirmed.
"Eh? What does that have to do with anything?"
"I'll explain everything to you later, until then, don't you have a guest to tend to?" Autumn gasped, she had forgotten all about May! Itachi watched as his charge hurried up the stairs. If his calculations were correct, then because of this girl the timeline of his world had changed completely. If he was to achieve his goal, she needed to be as strong as possible.
Their time was running out.
Spoiler!:
Who would've thought that Tobi was the Mizukage? That's just weird.
