Gaara had assembled three teams of Suna ninja and his siblings as well as Kakashi. He had also made sure there was team medical ninja in case they found out Emi's new location. At first light they were off, Gaara and Kakashi leading the way. They reached the cave and looked around for an entrance, they were aware of a sealed door but finding it was another matter.
They eventually found it and undid the seals as Emi's instructions had stated, Tsunade had been a little worried that Emi was lying and was sending them into a trap. After all, the Akatsuki found her and brought her up for at least six years, but Kakashi was sure that her loyalty to them was only of trying to stay alive. No doubt anyone inside would know they were here by now. A small team of the last of the Akatsuki were watching hidden in the distance, watching Gaara, Kakashi and their teams enter the base.
The Hidan, Kakuzu, Kisame, Pein and Zetsu waited for them in the main room. It gave them the most room in the cave system. It would also reduce the chance of a collapse in the cave if a wall was taken out. The teams slowly made their way through the passages and entered the room where they were all waiting for them.
"Where is Emi-chan?" Gaara ordered and Hidan laughed. Trust Hidan to laugh at them, he had no sense of danger, Pein thought. Pein could clearly see strong feelings for Emi in Gaara's eyes as he spoke her name.
"You think we would tell someone like you?" Hidan said as he laughed, Gaara glared at him and Kakashi stepped forward. Pein resisted rolling his eyes at Hidan, at least he could trust the fool to keep his mouth shut. Hidan and Emi had a somewhat strange relationship. While she was growing up, Hidan insisted sacrificing her to his Lord Jashin on a number of occasions. She had also learned her very colourful vocabulary from Jashin worshiper too. As she started to blossom in other ways, Hidan took interest in her away from sacrificing her. Some days the two got on fine and others it was a consent fight between the two. Hidan cared for Emi but he would never show it, secretly he always wanted a little sister and his wish came true when they found Emi but he would never let it be known.
"Would you tell her father?" Kakashi asked, he hoped that his relationship to Emi would make the Akatsuki take pity on him at least. Hidan shook his head.
"You fucking left her on her fucking own. You're not a fucking father. We saved her! We are her real fucking family even if we're not related by blood." Hidan spat at him, he knew he just let slip his feelings but he knew that everyone else was the same in the Akatsuki apart from Madara. "Jashin-sama wants you as his sacrifice!" He then shouted as he pointed his scythe at him. Kakashi sighed, that guilt of leaving Emi's mother will always follow him.
"We'll just have to kill you then." Gaara hissed at them, he had had enough of stalling.
"Do that and how will know where she is?" Pein asked with a smirk, he had keep as many members alive otherwise Madara's plan wouldn't work.
"We'll search this whole place for clues." Gaara answered and Pein shook his head.
"There is no information on her location here." Pein told them. "It's here." He added with another smirk and pointed at his head.
"In that case we'll just keep you alive and torture you till you tell us." Gaara said with a sick smirk on his lips. Pein knew that Gaara meant it and he would properly let Shukaku have his fun too.
Madara knocked on the door after disposing of the doctors ' body.
"Enter." Emi called through the door. Madara went in and saw Emi curled up in the bed.
"Did he tell you what was wrong?" He asked, he wondered if the 'good' doctor said anything to her. Emi shook her head and sighed. Madara smiled happily and sat down on the bed with her.
"What are you smiling about? I thought you wanted to know what was wrong." She asked confused at his sudden happy mood.
"You're pregnant." He told her excited and happy. Emi just stared at him in shock. "Kichi-koibito?" He called her, slightly worried by her silence.
"I'm pregnant?" She asked in a quiet voice, making sure she heard right. Madara nodded happily and hugged her gently while rubbing her stomach with his hand.
"Yes my love. We're going to have a family." He told her and kissed her forehead. "Now you rest up, I have some matters to attend to." He told her as he got up. He need to finalise his plans, he wanted it all done by the time Emi gave birth.
Sasuke had watched the teams enter the base, he had decided to sit tight until he could sneak in and get the information he needed. It was going to be difficult but he couldn't see any other way to get what he needed.
"Hidan, Kakuzu, Kisame, fend them off!" Pein ordered as Gaara attacked with his siblings. Hidan and Kakuzu nodded to took the attack that Gaara sent their way. The immortal pair should be fine fending off Gaara. "Zetsu go to the base, warn him!" He then ordered as Kakashi attacked. Zetsu melted into the ground and disappeared. Pein ran to his office to make sure that Madara had taken all the evidence with him.
A several minutes later Kisame ran in.
"Leader-sama we have to go, they've killed Kakuzu and Hidan's gone." Pein nodded, if there was anything left it was it was late to destroy it now, using explosive tags would destroy the cave before they could get out.
"This way Kisame, we'll have to use Madara's emergency exit." Pein told him as he rushed over to the curtain that hid Madara's room.
"Why weren't we told about this secret exit?" Kisame asked annoyed as he followed Pein, the sound of approaching ninja was getting loader.
"Because we didn't expect them to find us, someone in this organisation has leaked information. I know Kichi-chan may have done when someone tampered with her mind but it wouldn't have been this in-depth. The only one with the intelligence to get away without being caught was Itachi-san." Pein explained and made Kisame grumble about insulting his intelligence and Pein ignore him. "He's dead now, it doesn't matter." He added as he opened a secret panel in the wall. "I just hope that Madara remembered to make Kichi-chan take her diary with her. I've never understood that girls need to have one." Pein said with a sigh as he led Kisame down the secret passage. "If she has left it behind then they might know where the new base is." He then grumbled as he pushed the hatch up to get out.
Sasuke watched from a distance, it was looking like he wouldn't be able to sneak in anymore, there was a team on medical ninja waiting outside. He was about to give up when he noticed two Akatsuki members rush from out of the bushes. As soon as they were out of sight, Sasuke ran over to where they came out and saw an open hatch. This must have been an emergency exit. Sasuke told his team to wait outside for him, he needed them to keep watch in case one of the Akatsuki came back to seal the hatch. They seemed in too much of a rush to remember to do it.
Sasuke found himself in a bedroom, decorated in the Uchiha crest which confused him. It couldn't be Itachi's room because he killed the clan, he hated anything to do with the clan. Who could this room belong to? He looked around for clues and as he did, he found a book under the bed. He picked it up and started to read it as he sat down on the bed. He quickly realised that it was Emi's diary. He skimmed to the last few pages and looked for anything that would give him location.
Suddenly Kakashi and Gaara charged though the door. Kakashi looked at Sasuke in shock. He hadn't expected to find him here. He had expect to find the two Akatsuki members left or Emi being held at knife point. Sasuke looked up at him and smirked.
"You missed the two you're looking for." Sasuke told them and threw the book at Kakashi. "Your little girl is ill." He then mocked at Kakashi and went to walk out the room. Gaara held onto his legs with his sand.
"Are you with the Akatsuki?" Kakashi asked and Sasuke shock his head. "Did Orochimaru send you to look for Emi?" He then asked worried.
"No, I killed him." He told them and Gaara let him go.
"Why are you here then?" Kakashi asked confused.
"I'm looking for Emi-sama, I didn't want her being used again." Sasuke answered with a hiss. The thought of such a thing made his blood boil. The village won't be allowed to get her back, they would only use her power, and they wouldn't let her have a peaceful life.
"Go before we have to take you in, you are not our priority." Gaara said and Sasuke ran out the room.
Kakashi looked down at the book in his hands and flicked through it.
"Gaara-sama, this is her diary!" He shouted excited, they might have a clue. Kakashi sat down on the bed and started to read. Gaara sat next to him, trying to read it as well. "Gaara-sama get your medical ninja to look over the symptoms." Kakashi said as he passed the book over to him and pointed at the part he was talking about. Gaara read it and Shukaku growled.
'What is it Shukaku?' He asked wondering what was annoying him now.
'Your mate is pregnant by another man. You better hope she wasn't in heat cub, otherwise they will be bonded with them instead of you.' Shukaku growled at him. 'Don't believe me ask one of those medics.' He then added knowing that Gaara was wondering how he would know if a women was pregnant. Gaara took the diary to a medic who confirmed that Emi was experiencing pregnancy symptoms.
Kakashi balled his fists up and almost went on a rage, Madara had touched his daughter, and he had even forced her to marry him. Gaara was also having trouble controlling his rage, if he wasn't careful he could let Shukaku out, this was not the time for that monster to make an appearance.
