The third day of Christmas, Akatski Hideout

Naruto slowly opened his eyes, and became aware of his suroundings, as well as a pounding headache that made him wish he was unconsious again. He began to realized that the reason he couldn't rub his throbbing head was that he was unable to move his arms.

"What the hell?" His body was tied from his shoulders to his waist, makeing it immpossible to form any hand seals. His legs from his knees to his ankles were also tied. He struggle for a little bit, and finally made it to a sitting position. "What happened?" Naruto mumble to himself, "The last thing I remember was Lee talking to Sakura and she got mad." Naruto's eyes brightened with realization. "She got so fed up with me that she knocked me out, dragged me to a deserted building, tied me up and left me for dead." Naruto looked down at his stomach as it began to rumble quite loudly. "I'm going to die from hunger," he lamented rather loudly. Loudly enough to awaken the entire house of Akatski members. "OH GOD I'M GOING TO DIE WITHOUT RAMEN!!!" He yelled as he started to panic, struggling against the ropes. He used as much energy as he possibley could and hopped up to an upright position. 'Food, I have to find food!!.' Naruto's panicked thoughts ran through his head over and over like a broken record. He hopped over to the door and banged on it a few times before falling on his face and trying again. Then second time failed, but the third finally succeded. "FOOD! RAMEN!"

Itachi had woken up from his depressing dream to hear someone scream about dieing from lack of ramen. His thoughts cleared and he remembered who he had captured the other day. Although captured might not have been the right word. It was more like he rescued Naruto from the angry bitch and the fashion mistake on legs. He rose and donned his cloak. Stepping out of his room, he walked towards the room in which he had been keeping Naruto. When he finally got there, something was out of place. The door. It had been blown of it's hinges and trampled, breaking it into small, tiny shards. A small voice of panic raced through Itachi's mind before he mentally killed it. Itachi followed the trail of wood carnage till it lead to the kitchen. He heard some loud banging, then remembered that, stupid as Naruto was, he was still a Ninja, so he was probably in there looking for some sort of sharp object to cut the ropes that held him. Itachi entered the kitchen and stopped with something near to shock appearing on his face.

Naruto had opened the fridge with his teeth and was looking through the leftovers. "Leftover partridge, a pear, some roasted turtles and two dove bars. Ewww, what the hell is this? Three fried french hens?"

"What do you think you are doing?" Itachi asked coldly.

"Search for food, baka," Naruto replied absentmindly

Itachi stepped forward, grabbed Naruto by the collar, and stared into his eyes. "Just who are you calling baka?"

As the clock struck midnight, Itachi's sharingan eyes changed to Mangekou and swirled slowly.
