When Autumn's vision cleared, she found herself outside. It looked like any forest that you would find in the world, but something was different. The air was cleaner, the trees seemed to be much taller with more branches, and one thing that definately struck her as odd was that Kabuto was nowhere in sight. Autumn tried to move, but found that whatever Kabuto had done to her limbs was still in effect. She moved her head to the side, away from the sun, but that was all that she could do. So she waited. For over and hour all Autumn did was stare at a tree, watching the occasional squirrel run by. Until finally she could start to feel her arms again. Kabuto still hadn't come by, neither had anyone else for that matter. Just where was she? What was happening? Why did bad things always happen to her?

Suddenly, after night fell on the empty forest, she saw something in the distance. There was a bright flash of white light, temporalily stunning Autumn. Getting over the shock, she got up, only to fall down again. Her legs were asleep. Streaching out on the ground again, Autumn waited until she could feel the blood rush back into her legs. The flash of light might have been Itachi, returning to this world! If Kabuto had really whisked her away to Anime Land, then there was still a chance that she was going to live!! Getting up once again, Autumn ran toward the direction of the light. Eventually she made it to what seemed to be a river. On the other side was for Autumn a very familiar sight, there was a giant boulder, blocking the entrance to what seeme to be a cave. The only thing that stood out was the seal on the rock. Before Autumn could get to running at it in joy, something grabbed her ankle. As she turned around, she was met with what seemed to be a giant plant, slowly growing out of the ground. Zetsu. The plant opened to reveal his face, but the expression didn't seem to care about who it was, instead, he looked hungary. As the rest of Zetsu's body emerged from the ground, Autumn found herself upsidedown. Dangling in the air.

"Z-zetsu-sama!" she said his name in distress, he just stared at her for bit, but then he started talking. Autumn had to strain herself in order to hear what he was saying.

"Just do it!"

"No! What if she's important? Leader-san might get mad at us!"

"Who cares? People rarely come by here, she might be a spy!" Great, they were arguing about whether or not to eat her. Before they could get into a deep conversation, Autumn decided to intervene.

"Zetsu-sama? Could you please take to Pein-sama? It's important!" She yelled getting their attention.

"How rude, you should at least say "Excuse me" it you're going to interrupt someone's conversation,"

"Well, she did say please,"

"Whatever," Zetsu stopped talking to himself, and started to walk toward the cave. Autumn crossed her arms, he could've at least put her down, and let her walk.

Eventually Autumn reached her goal, just not in the way that she planned. Apparently Zetsu didn't recognize her since he made no gesture of acknoledgement, instead he carried her upside down until he actually got inside, then he dropped her on her head, and left her to sit there while he went to get Pein!

"Zetsu... Explain," Autumn heard the familiar voice of Pein.

"She said that it was important," The hidout was dark, and she had been hiding her chakra for hours, it was no wonder that they couldn't recognize her! Autumn flipped over she that she was sitting crosslegged on the ground.

"Hiya peoples!" she said cheerily. Suddenly the rest of the akatsuki seemed to appear out of nowhere, surrounding her.

"Who are you, and what is it that you want?" Autumn released her chakra, alerting the akatsuki of who was really in their presence. Itachi reached foreward, and grabbed her, pulling her up.

"Where have you been?" he asked as if she hadn't been kidnapped within the last 24 hours.

"Where have I been? Where the hell have you been!? I got kidnapped, thrown in a crypt, and then dragged into anime land, the crazyest place on earth! And then as soon as I get here I'm alomst eaten by Zetsu, which causes you all to lose brownie points!"

-Silence-

"What's a brownie point, un?"

-more silence-

'I'm surrounded by idiots,'

Autumn smacked her forehead, now that she was here, what was she going to do?

"Itachi?" Pein called into the darkness, Itachi 'Hn'ed in response.

"I sent you on an assination mission, did I not?" Itachi made no move to respond.

"I do believe that this girl was your target, correct?"

"Hn,"

"Then why is she standing in front of me, still alive?" It was Autumn's turn to respond, she just couldn't handle having to hear "Hn" one more time.

"I'm alive because Weasel Man here had enough sense to take me to a hospital before I bled to death," she stated calmly. Pein snapped his fingers, and imeadiately torches were lit all over the room.

"And how was this a reason to disobey my orders?" he asked Itachi.

"The blindness was only a temporary effect, it didn't last for a long period of time. It only caused soreness in the days following," he explained, Pein's eyes traveled down to Autumn,

"Very well then, you, as you were before, shall be her caretaker. In one month, you will take her to the village, and enroll her in the academy," Itachi nodded, and put his hand on Autumn's shoulder.

"Until then, she may have one of the empty rooms. Also tomorrow, you and Konan will take her shopping for clothes, and weapons... Or anything that she finds amusing, I don't what her sitting around annoying any of the other members, is that clear?" Itachi nodded once again, as did Konan. Autumn had a strange feeling that today was only the beginning of years and years of torture.

And this is were I shall end it for tonight. Eventually, after I finish I'm going to edit the whole thing, and at the end, I'm going to use all of the ideas you guys sent me, and turn them into more bonus chapters! But for that you'll have to wait until the end. And by the way, I have been thinking about working on my other stories, but I haven't had any motivation, so please take my new poll, and read my other stories, (even though in my opinion they aren't very good) and take a look at the newer stories I've posted.

Thank you all, and...
