Here's chapter 2 of Finding Otou. It's going to have a time skip of one year from the prologue because the Akatsuki are an elite group of criminals who should be super hard to find. Thus it's going to take awhile for her to find them, and my be slow going for a little while but stick with me okay!

DISCLAIMER: if I owned Naruto do you think I'd bother writing my ideas here?

Ch.1-Misleadings

~One Year Later-Age 16~

Tsuki jumped down from a tree, landing on the outskirts of a small village by the border of Grass country.

A few weeks back she had gotten wind of Akatsuki activity in the area. She was hoping that after all the dead end leads she had followed , she'd finally get a stroke of luck and catch sight of the infamous black cloaks with red clouds.

Tying her, now shoulder length, back hair into a low pony tail with a lavender ribbon, She left enough hair out to cover her left eye. The only visible eye scoured the crowds for anything or anyone that would take her to her otou.

But the village seemed to be having a festival of sorts. For there were many people dressed in exotics costumes and wearing dazzling hair pieces. Tsuki couldn't help feeling plain, as she tugged the hem of her purple tank top over the top of her black shorts. Shaking her head of these petty thoughts, she dived into the crowd with only one goal in mind.

Tsuki collapsed at a small dango shop. She had spent hours questioning people, searching crowds , and she even tried shouting her otou's name. Still she had found nothing.

She pressed her forehead against the cool surface of the table and tried to keep her breathing steady. She feared that if she didn't she would burst into tears. 'Why did her damn mother have to die?' 'Why did her otou have to leave them?' 'Why did she have to find a man who obviously wanted nothing to do with her to begin with?'

A silky voice broke through her dark thoughts causing her to look up from the table.

"Kabuto, Why do you insist on eating here?" The young man had raven colored hair and eyes that looked like dark pools. He also was getting rather irritated with his silver haired copanion named Kabuto.

" You know I hate sweet things!" The man growled giving Kabuto a heated glare.

" Oh quit your whining Sasuke-kun." Laughed Kabuto as he pushed his glasses farther up his nose.

The reflection from the light obscured his eyes as an evil grin stretched across his face, sending chills down Tsuki's back.

" You don't have to get anything if you don't want to I'll just order and leave." Kabuto said.

"Hn" Was Sasuke's only answering reply.

As the men were ordering their food, Tsuki could barely contain her joy. From rumors she'd heard the Akatsuki traveled in pairs and were usually rather evil looking men. 'Right before me are two rather evil looking men…" She thought. "…they weren't wearing the described cloaks, but maybe they were in hiding, and so that would make them Akatsuki, right?"

Tsuki burst from her thoughts as the bell from the door chimed and she watched two people with silver and rave hair vanish into the crowd.

Jumping from her table, she dashed after them. Not even considering the fact that she had never heard the names 'Sasuke or Kabuto' in any Akatsuki rumours.

Tsuki elbowed past the hundrenth person and stumbled foreword. Finding herself at the entrance to the woods. She had spent several hours tailing Sasuke and Kabuto from shop to shop as they bought various things. Though a few minutes ago they had finally stopped for the night, but instead of going to a local inn like she thought, they veered into the forest.

She felt antsy with anticipation. 'If they were going into the forest that means their base is near by!' She thought as she took off into the woods following occasional broken branches or footprints in the dirt. She felt excited that she was so close to solving a mystery that even the shinobi villages were unable to solve. She was so close to finding the Akatsuki base her anticipation so high that her adrenilane started pumping and she picked up speed.

Out of no where a deep gut wrenching feeling of dread seeped into her stomach. Tsuki felt open and vunerable to attack. She tensed as she heard the sound of snapping branches. Going still she slowly slid a kunai fro her holster. Effortlessly she threw the kunai, it flew from her hand and sailed through the bushes hitting something with a dull 'thump'.

Creeping foreward Tsuki crouched down beside the bushes and drew the branches to the side revealing a small brown rabbit. She let out a breath she hadn't known she'd been holding. Her kunai had pierced the poor thing through the neck, killing it before it even knew what was going on.

Getting to her feet, She ran her hand through her bangs while laughing humorouslessly.

"It was only a stupid rabbit." Tsuki went tense as she felt cold metal come into contact with her neck.

"Guess again." The silky voice from the dango shop growled in her ear. Adding pressure to the kunai at her neck she felt a burning sting and something warm and wet sliding down her neck.

"Now tell me why you've been following us." Sasuke commanded.

End/Ch.1-Misleadings

By the way I just wanted to let you know that the reason Tsuki was so quick to assume that Sasuke and Kabuto were apart of the Akatsuki is because it's been one year since she's started her search for them and at this point she's desperate for any clue that she's close to the Akatsuki. Anyway just do the usual , tell me what I did wrong, no flames and leave an amazing review PLEASE!
