Kankuro was fuming. He grabbed at the bars and, for what seemed like the thousandth time, shouted at his captors. "What the hell is going on!? Answer me teme!" He yelled at the ANBU guards. They had taken his puppets, his face paint had been washed off and he had been thrown in itchy prison clothes.
He missed his smooth black suit. He missed his weapons, the loss of the weight of his scrolls made him unbalanced. But mostly he missed the freedom to move and walk where he pleased. "Why am I here!?" Kankuro yelled again.
He recoiled when an ANBU struck the bars with a sword.
"Stand down prisoner, we have permission to restrain you if necessary." He spoke in calm even tones, with just a hint of agitation. Kankuro snorted.
"ANBU huh? I see that you've risen from genin ranks. Right, Aburame?" He smirked.
Shino took the pale mask off and glared down the puppeteer.
"You are right." He looked over the once-proud jounin, now reduced to a prisoner. "How did you guess?" Kankuro smirked and lay back against the cold concrete wall.
"Y'think I wouldn't remember the name of the guy that beat me?" Shino looked away from the jounin as the heavy door to the cells opened.
And Gaara and Naruto walked inside.
"Kazekage-sama, Hokage-sama." Shino nodded respectfully. And was rewarded by a an angry glare from Naruto.
"Shino! It's Naruto! Just Naruto! No 'Hokage' no '-sama'! We've known each other for how long?" Shino nodded an apology, and only Naruto saw his slight smirk. The blonde smiled back, but saw Kankuro looking at the two Kages "Shino...could you leave me and Ga- erm... Kazekage-sama for a while?" Shino nodded.
"Just don't do anything...regrettable, Naruto-sa...Naruto..." The Aburame walked from the room, and left Kankuro and his captors alone, locking the door behind himself.

Kiba was a mess. Two A-class missions in a row had left him bloody, dirty, and sore. He wanted nothing more than a shower and sleep. For a very long time.
The apartment complex he now lived in was quiet, and a slightly warm breeze blew through the surrounding trees. It was a nice night to be out. Heh...too bad that I'd probably fall asleep if I tried to stay awake...
That was when Shikamaru came running down the street. "Kiba! Hurry! Quick!"

Naruto sat down on a bench just outside the doors, and took off his Hoakge's hat, and placed it on his lap. "Kankuro..." He began. Gaara could tell from countless times spent with the hyperactive blonde that the whole situation upset Naruto, and he most likely feared loosing two friends. Hmm...he cares deeply about us both still...that good... Gaara's stern face lightened a bit, and he gave his brother a comforting smile.
"Whats going on?" Kankuro demanded, in a stoic, dead-serious tone. Naruto looked him in the eyes.
"You've been arrested f-" He was cut off.
"No fucking duh! Oh, I'm sorry, I guess I didn't notice the bars!" Naruto shot him an angry glare.
"You cut me off, dumb-ass." He stood up and turned away from Kankuro, taking a few breaths before continuing. "You were arrested...for the Orochimaru-Suna alliance years ago...while we took the Chunin Exams..." Kankuro was in shock.
"For that...that was...years ago..." He felt anger rising to his chest. "What the hell!? Didn't you get over that!? Or are you leaf-nin too weak to keep your emot-" Garra cut him off.
"Enough" Kankruo fumed at him.
"Like fuck it is! I'm in jail, if you haven't noticed! Why am I here anyway!? Can't you do anything Kkazaekage-sama?" The sarcasm in his voice was evident, and Gaara was less-than thrilled.
"Shut up Kankuro, let me figure this out..." He looked down and blushed slightly. Damnit...Gaara's only trying to help...I'm just making him look bad... Gotta think of something to keep me calm... Naruto and Gaara were talking in the background, but he was quiet and trying to amnage his temper.
Then it hit him... Kiba...

Sorry this one was so short! But I wanted it up now, and I only had this much! But the next chapter will be longer, and less broken! I promise (of course this means a longer wait on your part.... oh well! Mutual agreement, hu?
