Trapped: Chapter Three
Hours Later
The small room smelt of sweat; every member of the Akatsuki had sweat dripping off them while Naruto was even colder then before. Every member of the Akatsuki had their cloaks and shirts thrown over on one of the couches, while Naruto clung to Konan with any hope of being able to get any sort of warmth.
"He's not getting any warmer," Konan told Pein.
"At least he is asleep now," Itachi whispered, wiping sweat from his forehead and looking at Pein.
"That doesn't help the current situation," Pein told Itachi.
"Guys…" Konan began; Pein and Itachi not bothering to listen to her instead just continued to talk.
"If he gets any colder he might not survive," Itachi said.
"I know," Pein replied.
"Itachi, Pein, shut up and listen to me," Konan almost shouted; Naruto jumped in Konan's arms.
"What is it, Konan?" Pein asked kindly, looking towards Konan along with Itachi.
"He is getting warmer," Konan answered.
Itachi and Pein put there hands down on Naruto's skin and felt Naruto's cold skin that had gotten warmer but was still the coldest thing in the room. Keeping their hands on Naruto's skin they could feel it quickly growing warmer.
"The fox must be giving up," Kisame said.
"No, he is rapidly changing Naruto's body temperature to sped up the denature process, really smart but also bad news for us," Itachi said, keeping his hand on Naruto's skin.
"How long until Zetsu gets back?" Pein asked.
"A few days...maybe a week," Sasori answered; Pein growled and then glanced a Konan for a second before looking up at Naruto.
"Take him down to the extraction chamber, we are starting the jutsu in ten minutes," Pein said, Konan and Itachi glanced at each other.
But Zetsu isn't here yet, Konan answered.
Tough...we are going to have to do this without him, Pein said, standing up and making his way to the door.
Kicking the towel away from the door, he threw open the door and stormed out ofthe room.
Bring him to the chamber, Pein called back.
Kakuzu, can you take him? Konan asked, Kakuzu nodded easily lifting him u in his arms.
Kakuzu was the first to leave the room, while everyone else followed closely behind. As they entered the chamber each of the ringed members of the akatsuki, could feel their rings heating slightly up on their fingers. Kakuzu dumped Naruto on the floor between the two hands and head statue; as each memer appeared onthe finger that they wore their rings on. Tobi jumped up on to Zetsu's spot and waited for Pein's order.
Ring wearers and Tobi, get ready to remove the Nine-tailed Demon, Pein ordered.
It was a second before Pein was about to begin the jutsu; when Naruto began to scream and thrash about on the floor. Konan was beside Naruto in a second, resting her hand on his forehead and trying to hold Naruto still with her other hand.
He won't survive the extraction jutsu...he willbe dead by tommorrow morning at thelatest, Konan told Pein.
There is no waywe can get the demon for the extracted by then, what are we going to do, leader? Itachi asked.
...We have to save the Demon fox...by saving Naruto, Pein told everyone.
Leader, what are you thinking? Deidara asked, worried about what was going through his leader's mind.
All rings and coats put away, I want a bowl of soup, cup of ea and water delieved to... Pein began.
Our room, Konan finished, looking up at Pein.
Itachi, turn the sharingan off, Pein ordered.
Why? Itachi asked quickly, almost offended by Pein asking him to turn his sharingan off.
It might scare, Naruto, Pein answered, beside Konan in a second and scooping Naruto up in his arms.
Konan, Pein and Naruto vanished in a cloud of black smoke and appeared in their joint bedroom. Konan pulled the covers of the king sized bed down and helped Pein to lay Naruto completely on the bed. Konan has a smaller, happy smile gracing her pale lips as she watched Pein finish putting Naruto down then stepping back. Pein's eyes were glued to Naruto's body laying limply in his bed.
We should have kids, Pein told Konan; standing behind him Konan was completely shooked.
Leader...Konan...can we come in? Sasori asked, after he had knocked on the door and recieved no answer.
Come in, Konan called through the door.
Openning the door, the member's of the akatsuki crowded round the entry-way.
Sasori, here, Konan ordered, sitting down on the bed beside Naruto and feeling his quickly heating body.
Walking past Pein, Sasori knelt beside Konan with a glass of water and mug of tea. On the bed Naruto groaned in pain, as his eyes tightened shut he moved his head ever so slightly.
Hidan, get me a towelm or a few... Kakuzu get me warm water. How is the soup going? Konan questioned, glancing at everyone that remained in the doorway.
Itachi, Tobi and Deidara were the only ones still standing in the doorway; all of them unsure of what to do. Pein watched closely over Konan as she held on to Naruto's right hand in hers and waited for everyone to return with the things she had asked for. Hidan and Kakuzu managed to return within seconds of each other; each walked into the room and stood at the opposite side of the bed to everyone else. Hidan held a small towel out to Konan; dripping the towel in the water Konan squeezed it and brought it up to Naruto's face and began wipping the sweat from his face. As Konan wipped the sweat from Naruto's forehead, more sweat swepted through his skin.
Naruto, please wake up, Konan's sweet tone nearly ordered.
Konan reached out to take Naruto's shoulders in her hands, gently shaking Naruto to try and wake him. When he didn't stir; Konan glanced around at everyoneand shook Naruto slightly harder.
Naruto, wake up, Konan ordered, almost shouting at Naruto.
Let me try, Tobi shouted, running to the bedside and beginning to rapidly shake Naruto back and forth.
Tobi, stop, Sasori shouted, pulling Tobi back away from Naruto and keeping a hold of him to make sure he couldn't do anything else stupid.
Naruto, Naruto, Konan said, trying to wake him.
He isn't responding, Itachi said, moving to stand between Kakuzu and Hidan to check Naruto's temperature.
NARUTO!NARUTO! Konan shouted, roughly shaking him.
