This chapter is really short, I know and I'm sorry but the next chapter I will try to make much longer and make much more sense. I hope that you enjoy. I kind of got writers block and this is what came out of that but I am not longer in that stage. Well here's the new chapter.

---

Naruto woke up the next morning and looked out of the van window. They were still moving. They were now, what looked to be, in Arizona. The School was in California about 100 miles south of San Francisco. It wasn't on the map, of course not. Why would the School be on the map? To let everyone know where it is? To let the police know that they are doing sick experiments on little kids and animals? Do you get the point?

That's why we came up with a plan. If we get separated we would go to the mall in Arizona. Everyone knew where it was because Kakashi was there when he met Iruka. When we get to the School we were going to act like we were giving ourselves in and then find a way out with everyone together. If we could, get the one's who want out but couldn't get out last time.

We couldn't do an air raid, not all of us could fly. For example: Gai. He might be fast but he didn't have wings. That was the first thing to go down the drain, so to speak.

I looked around the van to see that everyone else was already awake, except for Kakashi. He did drive almost all night. Gaara and Neji were curled up together besides me looking out the window. They were cute together. Kiba was playing a video game trying to keep his mind off of other things. Lee was reading a book about a detective Alex Cross (1). It was a good book, sort of.

I'm not into books too much. More like manga's. I don't get to watch too much TV, Kiba and Lee usually have it. I'm usually outside doing something, like training or flying over towns near by. I love to fly.

Back to the subject, Gai was the one driving now. He was humming a merry tune, the radio not on. Genma and Raidou were talking to each other, whispering secret things to each other. They had always been together no matter what. In the school they would come into the flocks room and talk to us and cuddle with each other. They really love each other. It's really sweet.

We were turning into a McDonald's drive through to get some food and take a small break. "Everyone time to order!" Gai said pulling out a pen and some paper.

Once everyone got their orders we pulled around and waited for our food. Kakashi only ordered some coffee since he was going to go back to bed and didn't want anything to eat. He sipped his coffee and looked out of the window. He was probably thinking about Iruka.

"Naruto, here's your food." I got my bag of food and opened it up and started to eat. Soon enough we were on the road again and in some what a better mood.

"Gai-sensai?" Kiba looked up from his video game and looked at the energetic driver.

"Yes my youthful child?!" We all rolled our eyes but no one said anything to him about it.

"How much longer are we going to have to hide? Are we going to be running for the rest of our lives or are we going to be able to be normal after this?" The silence that came after those questions was enough to drive a person insane.

"To tell you the truth," Kakashi said turning away from the window, the only one who could break the silence, " none of us know if we are gong to live much longer." Everyone looked away from each other. They couldn't stand to look anyone in the eyes know that it might lead to something worst. It remained like that for a while. I soon fell back asleep, nothing else to do.

It had been a while since Orochimaru left but Sasuke still had their conversation stuck in his head. He wouldn't expect that he would still be working here but anyway.

Sasuke looked out of his dog crates door. It was dark but he could see well enough to know that one of the 'experiments' were gone. He was wondering where he was. It was sad to see any of them get taken out of the room.

Sasuke looked out of the small window besides his crate. It was day but it was still dark. When he looked back at the door, the knob on it was turning slowly. He back up into the back of his crate trying to hide but it wasn't whitecoats.

"Hello little brother." Itachi said with a smirk. Sasuke just glared at him.

"What do you want you bastard?"

"I can't just come to see you?"

"Not unless you want something." Itachi chuckled.

"Well things have changed little brother. I want to get you out of here. Along with all of the others (1)." Sasuke's face didn't change but inside his heart was beating nervously.

"What do you mean, Aniki?" Itachi frowned at Sasuke's comment.

"I don't like it here anymore. After you left they did experiments on me and the others that they promised to protect. They changed us into mutants. Sasuke, we are the same, now anyway." Itachi tried to explain to his little brother.

"Itachi..." Sasuke didn't know what to say, do, or anything any more. He didn't know if he could trust his brother or not. It was a very hard decision but he nodded to his brother who smiled a very small, almost non-noticeable smile.

"Sasuke, thank you for sticking with me in this hard time. We are going to get out. All of us are." Itachi leaned in and opened Sasuke's crate. At first Sasuke pushed himself farther into his cage but when Itachi offered him a hand, Sasuke took it.

"Itachi, what are we doing?" Sasuke asked getting up and stretching a little.

"I'm just letting you stretch a little. No one's around to know. No cameras, nothing." Sasuke smiled a little. He felt like he was betraying his friends but he knew that he wasn't. It was his brother anyway.

Would his brother that bad?

- - -

Naruto looked out of the window once again. They were pull over at a rest area to stretch and also to let the flock take flight. It was about 3:00 in the afternoon and It was time to fly. They didn't want to risk it too much and always ride in the van. If the van got into a wreck, the flock could stay hidden and wait until the others got out of the hospital or what not.

"Naruto do you know what to do?" Kakashi asked from behind his book.

"Yes, if anything happens, and if we can, wait for you to catch up. If not then just go ahead and get the others." Kakashi nodded his head in approval. The kid was smarter than he looked.

"Kakashi-sensai?" Lee asked walking up from the tree that the others were sitting under.

"Yeah?" Kakashi put his book up for a little bit to hear the green leotard wearing teen.

"When should we be getting to the School?" Kakashi looked down at the ground.

"It should be tonight, if everything goes well." Lee looked down. No one was ready for tonight but they all wanted to do it. It was their friends that they were talking about here.

"Lee! Don't be so down! I know that it's going to be a success! Believe it!" I put on my best smile and it even made the others smile, well the ones who smiled on a daily basis.

He half believed what he just said but the other side was scared. No one was perfect!

I know that this chapter was really random and barely made any sense but I had to put it in here to explain some things.

1. I wanted Itachi to be a good guy in this story so I did. The others are like Tsunade, Ibiki, Hayate, and people like that.

The next chapter is going to be more exciting. I will have more of the Akatsuki in it and even some pairings, thanks to Kaname Natsumi. Kaname has helped me bunches and so have all of your reviewers. If you have and questions, comments, or suggestions please leave it in a review. Until next time,
