A/N: Rieko and Yogi are the Ocs. Also, I'm going to Scotland in about a week and won't have access to my computer so I'll try to post as many installments as I can.

"You are going to the island with us right?" Sakura asked as she checked on Deidara, the blond man was sleeping peacefully.

"Of course, spending six days on an island with you, Naruto, Kakashi and Yogi, girl I wouldn't miss it." Rieko replied as she gently closed Sasori's door.

"Don't go to the island." Itachi said, his slim fingers wrapped around the bars on his door window.

"Itachi-san, calm down." Sakura said softly, trying to placate the man.

"Don't go to the island." He repeated, a little louder.

"Itachi-san, please, you'll wake the others." Sakura tried again.

"DON'T GO TO THE ISLAND!" He screamed his hands were shaking on the bars.

"Damn it." Rieko muttered and pressed the emergency button on the wall. Itachi was normally calm and actually one of the sanest out of the guys in this part of the asylum, but once he went it took a lot to bring him back. He was too much for the girls to handle on their own, even though both were equipped with tranquilizers. Orderlies poured into the halls, one opened the door and more swarmed the screaming man. Sakura stared at the man as he was tranquilized.

"Wonder why he did that." Rieko said as she and the pink haired orderly continued their rounds.

"Something about the island must bother him." Sakura mumbled. Not much was known about Itachi except that he was found on the mainland in a wrecked boat. By then he was already suffering shock and showing signs of severe post-traumatic-stress disorder.

"Guys are you sure, the island is safe?" Sakura asked.

"It's fine, no one ever goes to the island." Yogi replied, his arms wrapped around the honey haired Rieko. She smacked his gently on the cheek as he started kissing her neck.

"You're such a pervert." She whined.

"Oh you love it." He replied.

"Guys, I'm serious." Sakura said.

"I've been against it since you guys came up with the idea." Kakashi said from behind his orange book. "Don't you guys remember what happened sixteen years ago?"

"You mean when we were all, like, two?" Naruto asked.

"The Uchiha family's disappearance, then there was that weird guy who vanished three years later." Kakashi said.

"Wait, Uchiha Itachi's family?" Sakura asked and Kakashi nodded. "Why isn't that in his file?" She muttered to herself.

"There is no way that's going to happen to us, like you said, that was sixteen years ago. We'll be fine." Yogi pushed.

"Okay, I'll go, as long as we leave as soon as there's any sign of something freaky." Sakura said. They all looked at Kakashi.

"Fine, can't leave you dumbasses alone or you'll get each other pregnant and then kill each other." He put his book in his pocket to stare at them blankly. Rieko and Sakura gave him dirty looks and he raised his eyebrow. The group finished packing and tied down their belongings.

Kakashi tied the boat and grabbed his belongings. "The house is supposed to be at the end of that path." He said, pointing out the dirt path.

"We have to go through the woods?" Rieko asked nervously.

"What, you scared?" Yogi asked her.

"People are always attacked in the woods. It's always the jogger too, or the jogger finds the body." She protested.

"You watch too much television, you're not even jogging." Naruto said.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you." Yogi said to her and tried to slide one of his arms around her waist. She punched him in the side.

"Stop joking." She huffed and stormed off. The others rolled their eyes and followed her into the woods.

Octavius laid his ears against his skull as he watched the group of noisy two-leggers. His pup crawled up beside him, head canted to the side. The pup made a questioning noise in the back of his throat. Octavius snorted and shook his head. He gently nipped the boy's flesh and walked away. Octavius slipped under the fence and curled up in the gap between the roots of a tree. The old two-legger could deal with the new group – it wasn't his responsibility anymore. His pup had followed and curled up next to him on a scrap of fur.

Sasuke laid his head on Octavius's hip. He rubbed the silk corner of the faded blue blanket he'd found near the house on the hill. It had his name, or what he assumed was his name, written in curvy letters across the top.

Sasuke fell into a light doze, waking when Octavius shifted. His black eyes fluttered open to see and old female limping across the yard, a book in her mouth. The old female was Octavius's mother – a gray dog of no distinct breed. Sasuke had named her Ceres.

"Thank you, obaa-san." Sasuke said as he took the book from her. Ceres flopped on her side, her head in his lap. Octavius nudged his shoulder and Sasuke leaned up. It was an old routine – Ceres was going blind and had a stiff leg so Sasuke and Octavius took care of her. Octavius would hunt for them and Sasuke would read to her – her favorite pastime even if she didn't understand. Octavius licked her muzzle and trotted off. Sasuke opened the book and read, stroking her head, until she fell asleep and his thoughts wandered.

Octavius was younger than he was – eight summers at least but still treated Sasuke like a pup. Sasuke didn't mind though, Octavius did the same thing to some of the older dogs when he was alpha.

Sasuke pulled himself from that train of thought. He didn't want to think about Orochimaru right now.
