-----------------------------------------You will not escape-----------------------------------------

The startled blonde woke up with a, "Gah!," and shook his head from right to left searching for the particular sound that had startled him from the lovely dream he was having.

His attention was suddenly drawn to a tall oak tree in front of the cave, and the small, fuzzy, brown creature at the foot of it. The hungry squirrel bit into his shelled prize and nibbled at the center where the delectable nut lie, making the sound that had awakened the sleeping fox.

Naruto blinked and shook his head at this moment of stupidity; whoa, he really was lost without his chakra!

…

His eyes widened as he analyzed the situation. He looked to the other side the cave and his face lit up in anger, his chakra was gone…and so was that bastard Itachi!He clenched his fists and punched the ground, picturing the weasel's face in the powdery, brown, dirt. "What the hell!?! Who kidnaps a person then just leaves them there?!" And after all the shit he gave him about not leaving, he went and left himself!!

He huffed grumbling under his breath (something about Uchiha's and their deceiving appearances) and stood to dust off his rumpled clothes. A small snag of paper however escaped from his vision as he brushed off his clothed chest.

He continued to dust off and mutter curses without noticing the fallen clue, not the wisest of actions, but it not like you could blame him, who in their right minds would be calm and controlled in a certain moment such as this?(1)

"Man, at least I can go home now," seeing that squirrel eat his nut had made him undoubtedly hungry and he licked his lips in earnest at the thought of being Ichirraku's (2) first customer.

Strangely though, he felt that today was going to be a pretty good day, (excluding this troublesome morning of course) He'd ask Obaa-chan to fix his chakra then tell Sakura of his valiant struggles against the Akatsuki, and his oh-so-brilliant escape. And let's not forget filling his belly with ramen aplenty!

He smiled ear-to-ear and started on his long walk back to Konoha, briefly passing the scattered note," This isn't over Uzumaki, soon you will be in Akatsuki's clutches…"

Earlier that morning…

Kisame poked at his incapacitated partner feeling quite brave. Itachi had never been in such a deep sleep to his knowledge, and he had to enjoy this opportunity for as long as he possibly could. He poked the ravens taught stomach and the Uchiha mumbled incoherently and swatted the fishy mans hand away.

"Awww, you're gonna ignore me just 'cause your boyfriends here?" Kisame giggled in delight, and nudged his partner deciding it would be better not to lose one of his arms today if Itachi caught him. Sadly he failed and only got a frown from the younger man. Kisame pouted and nudged him again, his good mood totally ruined. "Wake uuuuuup Itachi-san! The leader's (3) gonna be angry if were late again!"

Still no response.

Well how rude! First he fell asleep on a mission, and now he was going to make them late! The raven was definitely not acting like himself today.

A distressed moan brought the Blue skinned man back to reality and he turned to see that Itachi's frown had increased and he was sweating a good amount. "Neh, Itachi." Kisame nudged again slightly with worry.

He laid his Blue hand on the pale mans head only to immediately withdraw after realizing his condition, "Itachi! You're hot!" (4) The sharky man quickly buried through his bag (5)(6) and pulled out a rag and some water for the Ravens head.

"This is not good," he mumbled to himself, his eyes landing on the other sleeping member in the cave. Now what was he supposed to do?! He couldn't very well leave him here, but Itachi's injuries should be taken of right away! And there was no way he would be able to carry them both! (7)

As if on queue, the red Akatsuki ring on his finger started to blink on and off (8) and he pressed the button on its side it quickly.

A small hologram of Pein shot out and stared at him menacingly. "Kisame! What am I your own personal wet nurse?!(8) Do you expect me to do everything for you?! Where in the world are you two?!" His foot tapped the rough surface he was standing on waiting for an explanation.

"Erm… Leader-sama, that is I…"You what?! There better be a good excuse for you and your partner's tardiness."(9) "And there is!" The sharky man countered, "Itachi seems to have a very bad fever and is unable to move, and I won't be able to carry both him and the jinchurriki by myself, I must request back-up(10)

The infamous Akatsuki leader pondered to himself considering all the options in this troublesome situation. "The Jinchurriki boys…check his seal for me." He said with his hand on his chin. Kisame blinked and shrugged then wandered over to the blonde and pulled up his shirt until all he could see was his belly.(11)

"Okay…what now?" The blue man questioned with another blink. "Is there anything surrounding the one seal in the middle?" he asked, hand still on chin.

Kisame looked again, and to his surprise there was! Surrounding the 4ths seal was a sort of purple squiggly, almost snake-like, (But not to snake-like!0.0) second tattoo surrounding the first one. The middle of the seal was also red and consisted of scratch-like swirls (12)

"Yeah, now that you mention it, there is." He nodded then lowered the teens shirt(13)

So what does that have to do with anything?" He questioned, feeling confused and out of the loop. The Red-head sighed as if he was talking to a dumb child," Do you not remember when you and Itachi were sent to Outo to retrieve those locked up poisons?"

Kisame nodded, "Yeah, I remember, why?" The leader sighed again and continued to explain," those were forbidden poisons that only the First hokage of Konoha himself were able to use, therefore, they were very valuable and unthinkably expensive." Kisame nodded and Pein continued, however the Akatsuki holds someone who used to know The

First very well…"

He stopped seeing if the dumb fish had gotten it.

"Oooh!" Kisame's eyes lit up, "I get it now! So Tobi(14) the poison! The leader nodded and continued on(15) The poison has properties that subdue demons, demons such as the Kyuubi, now that that second seal is on him, Naruto will not be able to use his chakra, meaning he's going to be less likely of fighting back.

The fishy-man nodded for the millionth time that day and looked back to the sleeping blonde.

"So…what do I do?" Pein scratched the back of his head and took a deep breath.

"You will leave the boy there and bring Itachi and yourself back here, his needs are our highest priority at the moment and with Naruto's condition he will be easy to capture later on. So hurry up, you're tardiness will only be excused in this intense." And with that he was gone.

Kisame let out a deep breath, Itachi was way better with explanation, type things like these! But to his misfortune, he would have to deal with it for today. He picked up the

Raven and with one last sorrowful glance at the blonde, he was gone as well.

Present Time…

Naruto sipped the noodles on his plate like a starving dog, licking every drop that happened to escape from his bowel. "Aahh! Now that hits the spot!" He grinned and paid the bill of 6 bowels of his favorite food. "Thanks old man! I'll be back tomarrow!" He waved to the owners and dashed for home.

Yeah, today did feel like it was going to be pretty good day! He put both of his arms to the back of his head and trudged along, Heh, he didn't know how very right he was…
