Hello peoples! This chapter didn't really go as planned, so I'll wait a bit before I post the shopping chapter. Also, my spell check is being a pain at the moment, so please forgive any errors that I make at the moment.

Disclaimer: I do not own the show NARUTO or any of it's related characters.

It was dark. (As it is ever so often when I start these chapters,) In Autumn's given room, it was dark. Because it was so deep inside of a cave, the room had no windows, preventing any light from coming in. She hated it. She had only been there for a few hours to tell the truth, but already, she hated it. She hated not only the room, but the whole world at the moment. It seemed as if luck was always against her, and she always ended up in these crazy situations. She thought that her life couldn't get any worse. Of course, she was wrong. Today's little crazy adventure was the simple and laughable fact that Itachi was going to take her shopping. Thankfully Pein had instructed for Konan to come too, or else they might have big problem on their hands.

Before Autumn could become too deeply engrossed in her thoughts, there was a knock ot her door.

"Autumn," Itachi called out to her, opening the door. For such a quiet guy brought up in such an important family, he had absolutely no manners.

"You know, I pretty sure that after you knock on the door, you're supposed to wait until I say "Come in," before you enter. You have the knocking part down, but you just can't seem to wait that extra second that it takes for me to speak." He seemed to ignore her.

"You have you're own private bathroom, and by the time you finish bathing fresh clothes should be waiting on the bed," he said emotionlessly, and then he left. Autumn just glared at the door. She had a bad feeling about today. She didn't know why though. Back home today would have been the first day off for Thanksgiving break. Autumn sighed, she might as well get it over with. She walked toward the bathroom, and opened the door. It looked normal enough at least. There was one plus for this place.

Five minutes later...

Autumn stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel. 'Well that was pleasent enough' she thought to herself. Apparently Itachi had kept his word, because laid out on the bed was a yellow kimono with a leaf pattern on it.

'You have got to be kidding me,' Autumn thought as she looked at it. She was so not going to wear that. At that moment there was a knock at the door. Autumn jumped back as the door opened. 'Do these people have any matters?' Instead of Itachi, Konan entered the room, much to Autumn's relief.

"Leader sent me to see of you need any help."

"Umm, no thanks, I've worn a kimono before. Well... half of it,"

"Also Itachi took these from your home while you were away," she spoke quietly, tossing Autumn her training clothes. 'Yes!'

"You may wear those, if you don't wish to wear the kimono,"

"Thank you!" Autumn said, as Konan left her to get dressed.

Another five minutes later...

She had been wondering where her training clothes had gone. Oh well, it didn't matter now. Autumn had been given a pair of shinobi sandals from Konan after she took a little trip to her room the second time. Finally she was done. Instead of doing something productive, Autumn sat on her bed, and thought. Once again, before she could get too deeply engrossed in her thoughts, there was another knock at her door. This time, she didn't bother looking up,

"You didn't like the kimono?" Itachi asked.

"I prefer pants thank you, so when do we leave?"

"Soon," was his only anwser. Autumn rolled her eyes, a man of few words, and still no manners. Itachi went to go talk to Pein, leaving Autumn alone again. What was with him today? They had been living together for a total of about a month, and he still didn't seem to get the meaning of the word "tomboy". Deciding to actually leave her room, Autumn traveled to the cave opening. It was sealed at the moment, but that would change later.

"Autumn!" she turned at the sound of her name. It was Tobi.

"Umm... Hi?" Tobi grabbed her, and spun her around in circles.

"Tobi is a good boy! Tobi is so happy to see that his friend is okay, and didn't get killed! See? Tobi even got you a new doll to show you how happy he is!" He cried cheerily, handing her a doll. As soon as the room stopped spinning, Autumn looked at the doll in her hands. It was made of porclean with a traditional kimono and hairstyle. She was very pretty, she was even holding her own fan! But, Autumn wasn't that interested. Her mom had collected dolls once. But those were all put into storage after she disappeared.

"Gee, thanks Tobi,"

"YEAH!! YOU HEAR THAT DEIDARA SEMPAI? TOBI IS A GOOD BOY!" he yelled, running off. That was weird. Autumn put the doll away, and met up with Konan, and Itachi near the far end of the hideout.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Autumn asked as they disembarked.

"What do you mean?" Konan asked, but Autumn wasn't paying attention, she was busy looking around. Apparetnly they weren't in the cave, but in a village, and the exit that they just walked out of was part of a mountain under what looked like a castle!

"Autumn," said girl snapped back to attention, as she felt a certain Weasel Man grabbed her head, and make it face foreward.

"What?"

"What do you mean "this isn't a good idea"?"

"Oh, well it's just I'm not sure how Itachi would be shopping. At least for me, it's just really hard to imagine," Konan just shrugged and kept walking.

"It's our mission to help you find what you want,"

"And keep me away from the other memebers,"

"In a nicer way, yes,"

"Of course," It was silent the rest of the way to Iwa. That is until Autumn finally got to the border of bored, and annoyed.

"Are we there yet?"

"No," Itachi answered.

Two minutes later...

"Are we there yet?"

"No," Itachi answered again.

"How much longer?"

"Soon,"

Three hours later, and another hundred "Are we there yet"s...

"Are we-

"NO!!" Both Konan and Itachi yelled.

"Fine! Geez, we're only going to the next country over," Autumn complained.

"No, we're going to the center of the next country over, speaking of which, we've been in Earth Country for over two hours now," Itachi said annoyed with all of her questions.

"Well, how much longer until we get there?" Itachi who was currently walking ahead of Autumn, stopped, causing her to run into him.

"Ow! Hey!" she yelled, falling to the ground. Itachi kneeled down, and looked her in the eyes, his sharingan activated. Autumn knew what was going to happen next, and tried to counter it by activating her own sharingan, but after she had turned it off, she had a bit more trouble turning it back on. As Autumn's vision blurred, she heard Konan speak,

"Well that takes care of one problem,"

Not going shopping yet, but I needed to get this out of the way so I could do the bonus chapter, also I'm going through like a half writer's block, I have the whole shopping chapter planned out, but it didn't want to get typed correctly. So wait until chapter 41 and hopefully by then it will stop being so stubborn. Until then, stay tuned for chapter 40! Where I will introduce my super secret special guest!
