Over the same two weeks, Konoha and Suna were coming up with a plan to attack the Akatsuki and rescue Emi. It was obvious in the information that Emi had passed on that Madara was planning to use her to bare his children, both Uchiha and Emi's Kekkei Genkai's would be incredibly strong if a child ended up with both. A child they knew would be near impossible to fight if Madara raised the child to be like him. They would start by attacking any Akatsuki members on sight in hopes to reduce their numbers so that an attack on the main base would be easier to conduct, especially if Madara had got Emi pregnant. The last thing they needed was Emi to be involved in the fight or get hit by a stray kunai.

Kakashi and Gaara were having the hardest time with this. Kakashi just wanted his little girl back and Gaara just wanted his mate with him. Shukaku was getting fed up with Gaara's sulking to the point that he was considering taking action himself. He knew that Gaara would put up a fight if tried to take over him so he would have to convince him to let him.

By the end of the month both Sasori and Deidara had been killed by Gaara. Gaara had been overly aggressive with the two men, they were the ones who took Emi from him. He wanted them to suffer like they were making him suffer. When Emi found out about Sasori she locked herself in her room which made Madara grumpy. He wanted to get on with his plans but the stupid girl had locked him out. Sometimes he wanted nothing more than to beat the girl into complete and utter submission but didn't want to until he had at least one heir. Just in case he killed her by accident or did enough damage to stop her being able to carry a child. Once she had his child, he would make that clear to her, remind her how lucky she was.

"Kichi open this door now!" He shouted through the door as he repeatedly knocked it. Emi ignored him as she cried into her pillow. Sasori was her friend mainly because he thought she rivalled his own art. Not only that but when they had found Emi he was felt in charge of her health. She had been fairly close to death when they had found her. Sasori found her interesting and enjoyed her spitfire temper although he would have never admitted that to anyone.

Madara had had it and smashed the door down. "What is wrong with you girl?" He hissed at her annoyed. Emi still ignored him. Madara was growing impatient with her. He grabbed her arm and pulled her off the bed. Emi looked down so he couldn't see her tear stained face. "Look at me." He hissed as he grabbed her face and made her look at him. "What you crying over you stupid girl?" He asked her annoyed.

"Sasori." She whispered and looked away.

"He's gone, deal with it. You are my wife, the only person you should be worried about is me!" He shouted at her as he slapped her. She fell to the floor and held her cheek as more tears escaped her eyes.

"Sorry Madara-sama." She said quietly, looking away to hide her tears again. He had expected her to cry over Itachi of all people. Madara knew Itachi's time was coming to an end, several reports from Zetsu showed that Sasuke had apparently killed Orochimaru and was now on his way to kill his brother. Madara wasn't too bothered by this, Itachi was being a thorn in his back as of late. He properly won't attack Konoha if he told him to, he loved that place too much. Madara now planned that when Sasuke kills Itachi that he will take Itachi's place. He knew that if Itachi didn't tell Sasuke about the mission to kill their clan, then he would. Who could love a village that demanded the death of your family, your entire clan?

Madara doubted he would be able to get Emi to willingly have sex with like had done every night since their wedding, he didn't really find her crying attractive anyway. He needed to get her pregnant soon while Konoha and Suna were still keeping away, he needed her unable to fight and vulnerable so it would put them off attacking. But he also couldn't wait for an Uchiha heir to take his place when he got too old. He sighed and sat at his desk, he needed to get ready for an attack and his plan for peace. He decided he and Emi should move to another base on the other side of Fire country by the end of the month. This way if Emi was pregnant she and the child would be safe from any attacks while the others remained here.

Meanwhile Konoha and Suna were readying themselves too. They were planning on attacking soon. They knew that Emi had been made to marry Madara a month ago by a spy. They were now worried about the risk of her being pregnant. The earlier they attacked, the less likely she would be pregnant and if she was, she would only be in the early stages and still able to defend herself. It would be their best and possibly late chance to save her before anything else happened.

Soon a month came around and Emi started to get sick, Madara started to get very worried. The only one who could have help her was gone, Sasori. He would have to send one of the others to find a doctor to go to the new base. They had to leave now, just in case they came. Madara packed the things they needed while Emi was being sick in the bathroom. She had been like this for week.

"Madara do we have to go? I don't feel well." Emi said as she came out of the bathroom. Madara sighed and nodded.

"I can't risk your safety Kichi-koibito." He told her as he pulled her into a hug. "No doubt they will kill you, even if you were unwilling to marry me my love." He added and kissed the top of her head as she started to cry. He was probably right, either that or they would think she had changed her mind and was willing. "They won't want you bringing my child into this world." He then said while putting his weapon pouches on and backpack. He passed another backpack to her. "I can't carry all of it my dear." Emi nodded and put it on as she wiped away her tears.

They went through to the office where the last of the members were gathered. "Itachi and Kisame I want you two to find a doctor for Kichi-chan and take him to the new base. You will then return here and stay with the rest of you. If they attack do not lead them at us." Madara ordered before grabbing Emi's hand and lead her out of the base. The last of the members nodded and watched them leave. Itachi had also become worried for Emi, Madara had picked him to get a doctor because he was just as worried. He knew that Madara was using his feelings for Emi against him but he didn't care, he still loved her. But at least he knew he wouldn't break her heart when Sasuke finally found him to take his revenge. He knew that he could die without hurting her.

What should have been a day's journey by running ended up being two day walk. Emi just couldn't keep food down very well and running only made her worse. As soon as they got to the new base, Madara took her straight to bed. He had grown increasingly concerned at her. He couldn't think of anything that could have made her like this. Madara paced nervously in the office, waiting for Itachi and Kisame, what was taking them so long?

A few hours later as the night rolled in Itachi and Kisame had come, Itachi had insisted on going through Konoha to get a doctor. He had argued with Kisame for an hour over it. Kisame thought it was a stupid idea to go to the one place everyone was looking out for them and had orders to engage with them on sight. Itachi then decided it would be best for Kisame to stay outside the village and wait for him, Kisame agreed, only because it meant he wouldn't be attack. As much as he enjoyed a fight, he didn't fancy walking into a village on red alert that would mean being attacked by the whole village if he did.

It had taken Itachi couple of hours to get back to Kisame with a very scared doctor, not that it mattered to Kisame anyway.

"What took you so long?" Kisame asked, Itachi was normally quick to his missions, he only had to kidnap someone.

"The whole village is on red alert and I had to find someone no-one would notice gone for a day or two." Itachi said, trying not glare at him.

Itachi had been spotted in Konoha, causing an emergency meeting to be called between Konoha and Suna.

"We have received information that Emi-chan isn't well." Tsunade told everyone as the meeting started. Both Kakashi and Gaara became increasingly worried. "Itachi was spotted kidnapping a doctor but we lost sight of him after following him. They were going in the opposite direction of the base." She added with a sigh.

"So it's safe to say they've moved then." Gaara said, he felt like he had lost her completely. She hadn't even summoned Yin or Yang to send messages. The two ninneko were worried and out scouting for her none stop. "We should send her ninneko to pick up her sent." He then added, maybe they can find her this time. Tsunade nodded.

"I think we should still attack the base we know about. There could be some clues to their new location." She then suggested and Gaara agreed.

"I will go with a few teams. I can't carry on sitting here, I feel like I'm not doing enough." Gaara said with a sigh and looking down.

"I'll go too." Kakashi spoke up. He too felt like he should be searching for her but Tsunade won't let him. She knew he wouldn't come back till her had her, he was a ninja that Konoha couldn't afford to lose.

"Very well but I expect you back straight after Kakashi-san." She warned him before turning her attention to Gaara. "I'll let you pick the best teams Gaara-san, we should prepare to attack by tomorrow. We might be able to catch some members who have stayed behind to destroy evidence." She added before leaving. Gaara nodded and looked at Kakashi.

Kakashi had yet to acknowledge any relationship between Gaara and Emi. Gaara had often caught Kakashi glaring at him. He probably hadn't forgiven him for his comment about almost sleeping with his daughter. Gaara didn't blame him, he would probably be the same with his own daughter if had one or in the future if he was lucky enough to get Emi back and she blessed him with a beautiful baby girl. No doubt if they had a baby girl, she would be as beautiful as her mother. Gaara sighed, he would get her back or he would die trying.
