Hey, I'm back. As you all know, I do not own the characters except for Hisaga. The Naruto characters belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. Here's the seventh chapter.

Last time in the story, Kisame joined the group and Tobi brought Hisaga to the Akatsuki hideout. Hisaga had looked around and saw the one person she has been traveling to look for after running from the village.

Chapter 7 Reunion

(No one's POV)

"Itachi!" Hisaga calls out and he turns around and his eyes widen in surprise. Hisaga starts to run as fast as she could with a broken ankle. Itachi held his arms out to catch her as she jumps to hug him. He catches her and smiles at her. After a couple of minutes, his face turns serious.

"Where were you? I am so disappointed in you. How did you even leave my side, when we were sleeping out on the forest floor," Itachi scolded her as she let him go from the hug.

"I'm sorry. I kind of walked in my sleep. When I actually woke up, I was somewhere away from you and I didn't know how I got there. I truly am sorry," Hisaga apologizes to him. She looks down in shame, and Itachi lifted her chin and forced her to look at him. He saw tears starting to form in her eyes. He hugged her once again, she just broke down letting the formed tears flow down her face. She gave him a small peck on his cheek after the tears subsided. They both separated from the hug and started blushing fiercely.

"I told you that I'd take you to him, did I not?" Tobi replied after seeing the awkward and touching reunion of the two childhood friends. Itachi and Hisaga moved away from each other. Hisaga turned to face her second traveling companion who took her to the boy she tried so hard to find. She smiled and nodded her agreement. By that time, Konan Pein and Kisame saw what was going on and called to Itachi to come inside.

"Tobi?" Konan called out. Tobi turned to face the people and noticed who called to him.

"Hey, I'm back and safe from harm," Tobi greeted to them. Konan rushed to his side and gave him a silent hug. Pein heard all the commotion and walked casually to them.

"Let's go inside. Itachi, who is this beautiful girl next to Tobi?" Pein replied as he looked around to make sure there was nobody around them. They started their way to inside the hideout.

"Um… Pein-sama and Konan-sama, this is Hyuga Hisaga-chan, the girl I have been looking for. Hisaga-chan, this is Pein-sama, and Konan-sama" Itachi introduced them to each other while pointing to each in turn. Hisaga bows graciously, while Konan walks up to her and hugs her. Pein shakes her hand and leads her to the inside, to the living room of the hideout.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Hisaga. Make yourself comfortable while you are here. I hope you don't mind but we need to talk about the future of the organization to Itachi," Pein continued while walking through the halls of the hideout. Ttachi pulled her towards the stairs to get the bedrooms upstairs.

"Itachi-san, what was he talking about?" Hisaga whispers to her friend. He helps her up the stairs and takes her to the bedroom that he was assigned to when he joined the Akatsuki Organization. He made her sit down on the bed and he kneels down in front of her to check her broken ankle.

"He was talking about an organization, I just recently joined. Its called the Akatsuki Organization. It just started not to long ago. Pein-sama is the leader of the Rain Village. And he is also going to be the leader for the organization. We're just barely getting rogue ninjas like us to join the group," Itachi explains as he checked her ankle. After studying how much it has gotten worse, he re-wrapped the bandage over the ankle. He stands up and sits next to her. She leans her head on his shoulder, as they sit in silence. There really was no need for any talk, they communicated through silence most of the time.

Later on that night, they realized that they need to get back downstairs before the members wonder what they were doing. Itachi helps Hisaga up off the bed and leads her to the living room.

"Itachi, where were you?" Konan asks a little mischievously. She smiled knowing that she was teasing them both. Hisaga blushed knowing what she was trying to get at, while Itachi ignored her remark.

"Upstairs in my room, checking Hisaga's broken ankle," Itachi seriously answered.

"It shouldn't take that long to check an ankle," Konan continues after Itachi explained. Pein held up a hand to stop them before the fight started progressing any further. They reluctantly obeyed him. They stopped fighting, and Hisaga was left gawking. She had never seen Itachi obey anyone but his family and her.

"What are we going to do about the number of members?" Kisame asks out of curiosity. He looks at Pein-sama and soon after that turns to look at Konan-sama.

"Well, we could make a limit to how many members are in the organization," Pein answers the question. Hisaga tried to stay awake but due to her lack in eating and lack of sleep, she fell forward.

"Hisaga!" Itachi expressed with worry. He caught her before she landed face-down on the hard floor. He carried her bridal style back to his bedroom and laid her down on his bed. After she was safely in the bed, he went back downstairs.

"Is Hisaga-san going to be alright?" Tobi inquired to him.

"She'll be perfectly fine, if she gets some sleep," Itachi answered. "By the way, did she mention to you about any lack of sleep or lack of food to you, Tobi?" Itachi questioned.

"Well, during the storm we were close to traveling in, she did mention not eating for quite some time now. I tried getting her to eat something at the hotel we stopped at, but she never did eat something," Tobi explained.

"I thought so," Itachi said out loud.

"What happened to her?" Konan asked worried about Hisaga.

"Don't worry about her. She is just a little anemic and sleep deprived. She'll be fine after a little rest," Itachi explained.

That's finally the seventh chapter. I'm really sorry, I've been slacking off on many things. Now that finals are coming up and graduation is, too. The orchestra is playing for the whole graduation. But when summer begins I'll work twice as hard through out. Well, anyways please review! :)
