When Autumn woke up the next morning, all was dark. She felt something cool being layed across her eyes. She felt so tired, her eyes were sore too.

"Aniki," she called out. She felt the person next to her shift.

"You're awake." he stated, Itachi didn't know the outcome of the jutsu, and he needed to know whether or not it had been a success. She was alive at least, but if she had gone blind, then she wouldn't be for long.

"What happened?"

"You fainted, apparently that caused your body to go limp long enough to allow your chakra system to completely renew itself without interference. You're alive." Autumn sighed,

"Where is everyone else?"

"When you fell asleep, some supplies came through into this world, they went to collect it, and sort through it all." he responded. Itachi pulled the washcloth off of her face,

"Open your eyes." Autumn did as she was told.

"Can you see?" Autumn opened her mouth to respond, but as she did, she was hit with a sharp pain in her eyes. Autumn grabbed her head, and shut her eyes.

"Autumn." Itachi warned, she opened her eyes one more time.

"No." That was it. He had to tell Pein, and he would have her killed.

"Nii-san, it hurts." he turned back to her. Autumn opened her eyes again, and seemed to look at him. He observed her eyes, she did receive the sharingan, but it was useless if she couldn't see. He left the room, and went to tell Pein. Autumn sat there, she closed her eyes, and started to cry. She knew that she was going to die if, and when Pein found out. Autumn laid back, and tried to go to sleep. Maybe, just maybe if she went to sleep, then she wouldn't feel any pain...


Monday...

May was crying on the sidewalk. Daniel, Jill, Lyn, and the rest were sad too, but not as sad as she was. It was her best friend that had just died, no one else was never that close... She couldn't help but call everyone she could find after she saw her body just laying there. Sure she was mean to her sometimes, but she was still her best friend, and nothing could ever change that.

"It's not fair..." May said looking at Daniel.

"We know May, I guess that's just the way it goes," A few days later, they held a small fureral. The Obsessionists came and tried to cheer May up, but nothing could help in a time like this.

"Daniel..." She started,

"What?"

"She did like you... But you knew that already," He nodded.

"I liked her too, that's why I spent so much time with her." Daniel took May home, but as they were leaving the cemetary, May took one last look at her friend's grave, and wished her luck in the next life.

"Why?" May asked Daniel,

"Why did she have to die? She was so young!"

"She wasn't that young,"

"SHE WAS YOUNGER THAN ME!"

"It's okay May she's in a better place now..." soon enough even Daniel had to leave her, causing May for the first time in years to truly be alone. May looked out her window,

"Autumn... I wish you were here, no matter what you did, you could always make me smile." May looked out over the horizon, no one could help her now. She was slowly being dragged into a fit of depression. The angst was leaking into her body slowly turning her emo.


The akatsuki were in their lair, they had left Autumn's home days before. Itachi seemed to be emotionless, but he was the one trying to get back. They could only enter that dimention willingly on the full moon, or they could be forcefully pulled back when a person with a dangerously high chakra amount would will it, and that was extremely rare.


Daniel thought back on the events of late. He remembered the day he was kidnapped, and played DDR with some weirdos at Autumn's house. It was fun. He remembered the dance, and how much he worried after she disappeared.

"Daniel," He turned around, it was Mandy.

"You're not still sad are you? You hardly ever saw her."

"But still..."

"You barely even knew her Daniel, there is no point in being sad."


May buried her head in her lap. She wasn't doing to well. The only person that could help her now was Autumn...

The next day at school felt so weird. Autumn's goal was to have perfect attendance this year. And in all she almost never missed a day of school. Autumn wasn't really a straight "A" student, but she was on honor role. Even Janet attended school that day. It felt strange not to have Autumn there, without her everyone knew that the Obsessionists would soon fall into chaos, and the Dolls would rule.

Itachi looked through multiple scrolls. He had to go back, who knew what woud happen if he didn't!

"Itachi-san!" Tobi came running into his room carrying a scroll,

"Tobi found it!" This was the scroll that could change everything.


May walked to the grave and placed an empty cage on the top of it. Taking one final glance at the tombstone: R.I.P. Madam Luthien Loyal Pet Hamster, and Best friend. Maybe she'd go visit Autumn, and see how she was doing, she really needed to be cheered up right now. May said a silent prayer, and walked toward the entrance to the tunnels. Seeing Autumn would be nice right now, plus she had candy. May ate all of her candy.


Itachi finished packing some scrolls he was going to take with him next time. All he had to do was wait another week, and he would be able to go back, and he would finish his job.


Haha, I bet you thought that Autumn died! (laughing hysterically) No May's hamster died, and it did last week, so I thought that I'd dedicate this chapter to her.

Please review, and don't kill me!
