(A/N: HEY ALL! I'm back from Sakura-Con! And here with a new chappie! So without further adieu, enjoy!)

Itachi and Kisame regarded the now unconscious Akane with electricity crackling in their gaze.

Not second was wasted in abducting the bleeding girl.

One way or another, they were going to get this foul-tempered, foul-mouthed wench to join the Akatsuki.

"Hey." Suo cried half-heartedly as the duo swooped her off, "Wait. Stop. Don't."

Naruto shot him a rather exasperated look.

"Gee…don't you sound worried." He said, rolling his eyes.

"Akane will be fine." Takaomi said dully.

"Yeah." Kankuro snorted, "If anything, I'm worried for those guys!"

"Poor fools." Lee sighed shaking his head.

"Hey!" Hinode cried, "That's mean!"

"Yeah!" Sora cried, always one to defend a friend's honor, "We need to go look for her!"

"…why?" Sakura asked dully.

"WHY?" They screamed together, "Whaddya mean WHY?"

"What she means is your friend is perfectly capable of taking care of herself." Shikamaru grunted.

"Looking for her isn't necessary." Gaara murmured.

"Agreed." Shino nodded, "Let's return to the Inuzuka's."

Sora and Hinode looked very torn; unsure of whether to defend Akane or go all gooey.

They went all gooey.

They'd defend her later.

Sasuke didn't feel an once of sympathy for Itachi.

He was just pissed that he had missed an opportunity to off him.

But oh well.

Now they had to deal with the trigger happy teen for awhile.

"Think I'll have a nap." he said aloud.

With The Akatsuki Boys…

"No."

"But w-!"

"N…O…"

"My…you are a stubborn one."

Akane had regained consciousness to find herself in the custody of Itachi and Kisame, the latter of the two had slung her over his shoulder.

Upon regain consciousness, Akane had proceeded to bwak them across the backs of their skulls and demanded to know where the fuck she was and who the hell they were.

As planned (after Kisame set her down of course), Itachi had informed Akane of how impressed he was with her previous performances, and rare it was for his curiosity to be roused.

Akane automatically zoned out and began checking to see if she'd stopped bleeding yet.

Kisame then had picked up on Itachi's lead and then asked the big question:

"Will you join us?"

After confirming that the bloodflow to the wounds was slowing to a stop…well…her response is shown above.

Itachi loomed over her.

"And you wont join us for what reason?" he asked coolly.

Akane took on a very bored, slightly annoyed look reminiscent of Shikamaru.

"'cuz I don't like you." she said bluntly, "Everyone a you Animanga Freaks twang on my last nerve each time ya open yer yaps."

She turned on her heel.

"So buzz off." she snapped, disappearing between the trees.

There was a moment of silence.

"Well that was a total bust." Kisame grumbled after awhile.

"Yes." Itachi said with a curt nod, "…let's find that Orochimaru."

"Why?" Kisame asked, looking a little lost.

"Is it not obvious?" Itachi sighed witheringly, "We are going to beat him to death to make ourselves feel better."

"Ohhhhh…" Kisame said, climbing to his feet, "OKAY!"

Some miles away from Konohagakure, Orochimaru sneezed.

Iruka was having one difficult time trying to keep Konohamaru and his gang under control.

It was understandable they were excited.

After all, their heroes, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura had just returned from an unexplained weeklong absence.

Finally, he gave up and with a sigh, agreed to take them to their idols.

He tried his best to sound bored…inside he was in turmoil.

Happy, angry, upset and worried all at the same time.

Poor ninja dude.

Sucks to be to the father figure of Konoha's Number One Knucklehead Ninja!

"Hurry Iruka-sensei!" Konohamaru (now 12) cried, "Quit draggin' yer feet!"

"Yeah, hurry!" Moegi (also 12)squealed excitedly, "I can't WAIT to see Sakura again!"

"Yeah! n' Sasuke too!" Udon (12 too)said happily.

"I'm coming! I'm coming! Yeesh!" Iruka smiled as they approached the Inuzuka's.

From inside, they heard the sounds of a loud argument raging.

"I STILL say we should look for her!"

"She'll be fine!"

"You know how strong they are!"

"How can you SAY that!"

"We didn't raise no punk bitches!"

-SMAK-

-BWAK-

"OUCH!"

"Whadja hit'm for?"

"For using that word derogatorily in our presence!"

"We apologize for them Tsume!"

"Yeah, Hana! They didn't mean it! Really!"

Iruka couldn't take it anymore and was about to open the door…but a scratched and bloodied appendage of the same variety beat him to it.

"YEEOW!" He screeched, leaping back several feet, taking up a defensive stance in front of his students.

Akane glared at this new arrival.

"Keep yer pants on, retard." She snorted, throwing open the door.

The Naru-tachi glanced up at the sound.

"AKANE-CHANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!" Sora and Hinode screamed, throwing themselves at her and glomping her tight.

"Yeah, yeah." she grunted, "Now get offa me…please-NOW?"

The two didn't hear her through their hysterical wailing.

Akane eyed the ninja-esque man still standing outside.

Sorry, ninja guy, whoever you are.

But not really.

"Look! Whozzat?" Akane said quickly, pointing.

Sora and Hinode looked up and saw Iruka.

Their cheeks filled with color…and…

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! UMINO-CHAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Iruka found himself short of oxygen very fast as pair of teal and purple blur rocketed at him and latched their arms around his neck.

"You are number THREE on our Naruto Most Glompable List!" Hinode squealed, rubbing her cheek against his.

"You're just too CUTE! Always lookin' out for Naruto! Whadda Sweetie!" Sora cooed, burying her face in the crook of his neck.

Iruka, not used to so much attention, promptly turned beet red and fainted.

Moegi looked at this strange newcomer with fascination.

She was covered with fresh injuries…but acted as though they caused her no pain.

Even now she was engaging in combat with a boy almost twice her height (Kazuo; he called her Monkey…again…god, she hates that name)

Moegi then turned he gaze to her idol's rapidly fading light.

She was leaning on one elbow, insulting Naruto with her mouth full of anko (…not THAT Anko! GAWD! You're minds are SICK!)

Moegi turned her gaze back to the newcomer.

She was now fighting three instead of one (Takaomi and Mannen joined in to get her off Kazuo)

It was settled.

Moegi walked up to the brawling bunch.

"Eh-excuse." She asked, bringing the fight to a sudden standstill, looking up at the older girl with admiration shining in her eyes, "What's you name?"

Akane glared down at the animanga girl.

"What is it with them and speaking to me?" she wondered furiously.

"None a your damn business." Akane growled, eyes flashing.

She turned back to Kazuo and punching him in the nose, undidi the freeze frame action instilled by the twelve year old.

Sakura went to her "fangirl" Moegi's side and patted her shoulder.

"Just ignore her Moegi." Sakura said encouragingly, "She's always like that."

Moegi ignored Sakura and gave a happy squeal.

"She's just so COOL!" she cried.

"HUH?" the people who weren't fighting gaped, "WHADDID YOU SAY?"

"She's AWESOME!" Moegi squealed, "She's my new idol!"

There was a groupwide thought as the fight between sister and brothers raged.

"She's insane."

The Next Day…

"Alright. Just a few more seconds now." Kakashi said, glancing towards the sky.

It was time.

The seventh day.

And almost time for the non-anime-tachi to return home.

"Akane, quit diggin' your claws into my shoulder." Mannen drawled.

"Shut it." Akane growled, digging her nails deeper into the skin (it's keeping her from itching at her newly closed wounds; all freshly bandaged, btw)

Sora and Hinode were bawling hysterically.

Out of pity, Naruto had glomped them and dragged Shino and Gaara along for the ride.

"Alright. Here we go." Suo said, a little sadly.

He pressed the button.

This time, none of the Naruto cast got dragged along.

They were wise enough to stand clear.

After they were unceremoniously dumped in various locations in Suo's spacious living room, Akane clamored to her feet dashed over to her eldest brother and grabbed up the remote.

She broke it violently in two.

Sora and Hinode watched in horror as Akane stomped on the halves until they were in fragments.

"THERE!" she grinned victoriously, "Now we'll NEVERhave a REPEAT of this incident!"

Twirling on her heel she picked up Rui, placed her on her head and said aloud-

"Think I'm gonna watch th' tube in my room."

Hinode and Sora looked from Takaomi to Suo with miserable expression.

Takaomi patted their heads while Suo collected the pieces of the obliterated remote control.

"Don't worry girls." Suo said, smirking wickedly, "Let's see what I can do."

Takaomi sneered.

Sora looked joyful.

Hinode's cheerful expression returned.

In her room, Akane felt a chill go down her spine…but thought nothing of it.

-Owari?-
