Sorry hays I am completely serious when I say I would have had this out earlier but I then took on grounding and was badly deprived of the computer. So I am done saying sorry and will finally kick my own ass till I get these stories done.

~Carmens POV~

So I'm caught up on everything that's gone on for Zarina and Allison how they got here and that dark figure that pushed them in. As much as everything makes sense it's that one bit that doesn't. Who would push us in and try and kill us….or did they know about the whole escapade.

Oh well I know one thing for sure if we get out of this place, I'm never going on a camping trip with Unique again!

But to the present events, right now we were looking for food. Sadly a bunny was the prey, it's a good thing I don't eat cute and furry lives. Maybe being a hedgehog isn't so bad.

"Can't we go get some fish!"

"Do you see a lake or river anywhere?"

"No but come on innocent little bunny against slimy yummy fish!"

They both turned to stare at me, maybe it was because I said slimy then yummy….

"You realize now that I want to eat the rabbit more, slimy fish don't in anyway way sound yummy…"

Allison said with a dull look. I looked over and spotted an owl watching the rabbit carefully. Maybe if I'm lucky it will carry the rabbit elsewhere so I won't have to watch it be eaten. Nope, Zarina charged out from the shrub and almost grabbed it by its scruff, and she would have had it if it weren't for that owl! I love you owl!

The owl was giving off its warning spreading its wings and screeching, though that's not what made Zari stop her pursuit. The owl was cursing at her telling her to back off from not her prey but friend. That's when it hit me. No literally it hit me hard. In fact I was sent flying across the clearing, writhing around trying not to land where I was hit.

Once I did land I looked up to see some weird creeps running further on in the forest.

"Oh my god! Carmen a-are you okay!"

"Struggling to breath, and just got kicked like a football, NO IM NOT OKAY!"

Zarina sprinted over to make sure I was okay. She turned around, and even though she knew they wouldn't understand, shouted curses.

"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING IDIOTS!"

The two opposing animals rushed over obviously concerned, which I was suspicious about. They stopped about two feet away while Zarina helped me lean on her furry leg.

"Is she okay!"

I began glaring at them, so I said (wanting to be a smart ass XD) what any other would say.

"Oh yes I'm just fine! In fact I was just riding on a pegacorn, of to the land of Carmel and candy!"

"W-what?"

"Stupid questions get stupid answers," was all I said in reply.

~Tsuki's POV~

The weird trio stared at us a while before I realized something was around the lion's neck. Looking closer I saw an anklet to what I assumed, and it looked an awful lot like Unique's.

"May I ask why you have that around your neck?"

"Huh? Oh this, this isn't mine I just found it."

"No, no I think she means why do you have our friends anklet around your neck!" She instantly looked taken back by the statement but soon had little feline grin.

"So you mean, you know who Unique is!"

Everyone was in the conversation by now.

"Wait so are you saying you know Unique?"

"But not only that why would she even let you near that, she loves that!"

The lion was beginning to get aggravated though she showed little of it. Before she responded the fox who apparently walked off somewhere, came back with a weird expression but held overflowing excitement.

"Hey, guys…uh…"

She padded over to her friend and whispered something in her ear. The feline's face instantly brightened up and in a way smiled.

"Zarina, my girl! I'm sorry I've never said this before but, you are a genius!"

Me and Tori looked at each other before shrugging it off and following them to wherever. Courtney should have been back by now, now that I think about it. Where could that crazy raccoon have run off to?

Oh shit! We lost the cosplay group! Tori and I rushed forward to try and find them. As we passed up the weird trio I had almost had the idea of taking Unique's necklace so we could take it back to her, but I had second thoughts.

Thanks to Tori I could have fallen of a cliff right into a river. Why I blame tori? I was watching where she was going, and at that moment she was flying. But what we weren't expecting was a place down just above the water, it looked like a Japanese shrine. But it also looked like the Akatsuki base!

Well…we found the cosplayers…I think.

~Kisame's POV~

We had finally reached the base, and with something better than the information! Though, we have been followed by some bizarre animals. Normally I would think they were ninja but I would be able to sense their charka. We lost them for a while but once we reached the entrance they were there on the cliff. They reminded me of that wolf in a way.

I was torn from my insane thinking when Itachi opened the "door." Walking inside we waited for leader's hologram to show, it didn't take long. Like normal he had an exotically serious face even when seeing the "run aways."

"So you found Kakuzu and Deidara?"

"Yes, they were traveling in the forest."

"Is that so" Leader said, eyes as stoic as ever.

"But they did mention something of interest and use."

And so the two ninja were lead to Peins office (as I call it) and interrogated. All I did was go straight to my room and flop on my bed. Without a care in the world I fell into sleep, hoping I could sleep a day….Or three.

HAHHAHAHAAA! It is done! So I hope you like, in the next chapter everything will finally start playing out of whack. And they will all have interaction with the Akatsuki and our black cloaked friend!

Unique: OH and we need to know who everyone wanted as their (what's the word?) Admirer?
