Ello! I hope you enjoy this chapter sorry if its a little late. Its been getting harder to update weekly.I'm going to Washington D.C for a school trip soon so don't expect an update next Saturday and LIKE THE NEW TITLE? ( that was in caps lock to make sure you read that)

Everyone had an amazing time at the festival. They all had many souveneirs. It was already midnight when the

firework show ended. Hinata fell asleep even with all the loud noises. So, Deidara carried her to the clay bird and everyone followed

"Itachi said," We should leave now before the sun is up."

" What but its really dark now!" Hidan complained.

Itachi stated firmly," We must leave now"

Kismae replied," He's right, we don't have any extra clothes so if we stay til tomorrow, we'll stick out like a sore thumb."

They decided that they'll switch off on who controls the bird every hour. Hinata couldn't do it cause she was asleep and the fact that she was blind and Itachi had terrible eyesight.

Pein volunteered to fly it first. " Since I'm the leader I'll control it so everyone can get a little sleep first.

" I'll stay awake with you Pein!" Konan said eagerly. She was afraid to fall asleep. She hasn't had that nighmare in a while but started having it again.

" I couldn't make you do that, you need your sleep."

" I understand Pein. I trust that your going to do a great job flying the bird." She hugged him lossely before slipping into a deep sleep.

Hidan was fuming silently in a corner mumbling," I could fly it better than Pein."

Deidara put Hinata down gently next to him and he used his jacket as a blanket for her. "Good night Hinata."

*4 hours later*

Konan had a nightmare that night. It was the one when her parents abandoned her. Her village was afraid of all the power she possessed so they sent her away. She woke up panting but almost everyone seemed to be asleep. She was stilling feeling panicked and started breathing heathily and quickly.

"Konan? Whats wrong? You don't look well." Hidan said. He had trouble sleeping because he didn't like sleeping on the pretty hard bird. He felt uneasy sleeping on a flying object anyway.

Konan couldn't think straight. She was still feeling jittery and her face was paler than usual. " Stay away!" She didn't want to talk to anyone right now. " Please please just leave me alone stupid!"

"Konan" two hands gripped her shoulders firmly. " Listen you don't have to face everything by yourself. Your not alone anymore in that terrible village. It's okay. It's okay, I'm here for you." He pulled her into a strong embrace. Hidan knew what it was like to feel abandoned. Thats why he believes God gave him a better life.

Konan could feel warm tears in her shoulder. ' What an idiot crying for me like he knows what I've been through.'

And than for a a good fifteen minutes I let myself cry like I've never cried before. They weren't loud, but silent filled with pain.

Hidan asked," Have you calmed down?" He was still holding her loving that he could hold the girl he had such a big crush on and being able to comfort her. He was usually mean to her but thats just because boys just didn't know to convey their feeling that well.

" Yeah thank you Hidan," She was looking down feeling too embarrassed about what just happened.' He looked really cool back than. And somehow he seems to be better than Pein...What am I thinking its Hidan!' Hidan saw that she was shivering.

Hidan took off his jacket and gave it to Konan to wear. She was protesting, but gave up realizing how stubborn Hidan was. " Go to sleep its getting late crybaby"

" What! You were crying too! And your gonna be cold without that on!"

' Shit he forgot that he was crying. ' "Wh-what are you talking about? " he stated dumbly.

Konan didn't want to sleep though. She preffered talking to Hidan because she didn't want to have the same nightare again. " I'll sleep if you'll stay close to me." At the same time she was thinking ' Oh no what did I just say? Would Didan even agree to her childish request.'

" Sure" He didn't want to argue because she was so pretty but that was besides the point, he couldn't leave her alone. He roughly guided her. She was lying down but still couldn't relax.

Hidan saw this and started patting her head slowly. " It's okay just relax. Nothing is going to hurt you ever again." His usually loud, rowdy voice was soft and caring. She fell asleep in a matter of minutes and so did Hdan.

" Wow took them long enough" Said a devious looking Deidara with his scope on camera mode.

...

The Akatsuki were sleeping until they suddenly crashed.

" Ouch what happened? Who was flying the bird? Because whoever was flying it is gonna be in a major world of pain." said Zetsu. He still was feeling sad and frustrated he had to leave Ino yesterday.

Tobi was scratching his head nervously " Ya see it was my turn soo I guess I went a little crazy.

Zetsu couldn't control his anger " I'm going to kill you! " He went after Tobi in a fury.

" Wait wait I got us home didn't I!" He ws still running for his life. Zetsu was ususlly pretty calm. Even though they were best friends Zetsu will hurt anyone when he's this pissed off. " Besides aren't you just mad becasue you had to leave that pretty girl yesterday? Or is it the fact you'll never see her again?" Suddenly Tobi heard crying

" Wahhh you don't understand anything!" Zetsu ran off to his room and cried into a pillow. " Ino! I want to see you again!"

The others were dumbfounded. Itachi excused himself.

* In Itachi's Room*

"Temari, I have this strange longing feeling to see you again."

...

"Well I guess we won't be seeing them anytime soon" Announced Pein. Then he spotted a sleeping Hinata holding onto Deidara who was awake. Deidara looked as stiff as a log. One of her legs was on him and her head was resting on his shoulder. And all the noise was waking her up.

" Hmmm something is really warm" she whispered. It didn't take too long to realize that she was resting on Deidara " E-eh? Kyaaa!"

" O- ohaya Hinata" Before he knew it there was a red handprint mark on his face. " Aiya that really hurt, yeah"

"S-sorry" She gave him a sheepish grin.

" Sigh I can never be mad at you Hinata." ' Not when your this cute'

Hidan was glad that he was able to get Konan off of him on time before she woke up. ' Well at least I wasn't cold that night'

" Wh-wheres Tobi and Itach?" Hinata asked curiously.

Pein was explaining what happened when she was asleep.

Hinata understood everything and was thinking ' Ino? I know who she is and I think I heard from Deidara about how Itachi met Temari yesterday ' " W-wait I-I th-think I can s-solve this pr-problem." She had a photo album. Her sensei gave it to her on one of her birthday's. She couldn't see the pictures but she was told that they were filled of pictures of her friends. She was really good friends with Temari and Ino. It made her a little lonely.

Everyone followed her to her room. She found the book under her pillow and handed it to Kisame."Yup this girl here is deffinitely Temari. She looks just the way Itachi described her."

"And this little flower girl must be Ino" Said Tobi

" Lets br-bring this to Zetsu and Itachi. I-it m-might cheer them up." They got Zetsu and Itachi to come out of their room and they were now in the living room.

"What do you want to show me?" Itachi was calm once again. Same with Zetsu.

"I heard you were sad about y-yesterday's meetings?"

Itachi and Zetsu ansered," NO! I don't need that girl anymore, there are plenty of other girls around"

" O-oh b-but I have s-some pictures of th-them. I thought you w-wanted to s-see them b-but I guess n-not."

" Wait you have pictures? Zetsu asked

" H-hai."

Before she knew it the book was ripped out of her petite hands and the photo album was being searched intently for pictures of their crushes.

" Zetsu found plenty of Ino and was just staring at all of them

" Oh I thought I'd never be able to see he face again!" Itachi stated He realized that everyone was staring at him as he was saying " Ahem please ignore what I just said and thank you Hinata."

Itachi found a picture of himself when he was young standing next to Hinata.

"Hinata, do you remember ever going to the Uchiha house to play?"

"Yeah, A-Are you Itachi-onii?"

Sasori said," Oh yeah I remember we found Itachi in a rich looking neighborhood. I didn't know you knew Hinata before any of us did though."

Itachi stated," Well we were both heirs"

" Thanks Hinata " Zetsu gave her a toothy grin. " Wait what are you guys talking about?"

Itachi was getting a headache from all the noise," I just took care of Hinata when she was younger. My little brother Sasuke also liked hanging out with her until he became emo."

Pein said," Well thats a little strange." And everyone nodded their head in agreement.

" No problem its always so lively aroung here. It was never like this at my house so I'm r-really glad to have you as m-my family.

Konan said," I feel the same way Hina-chan." She glomped Hinata.

" No fair I want to hug her, too, un! " and soon everyone followed until they were squishing each other in a dog pile. Hinata managed to escape first. She threw back her head and started laughing wildly.

" Tobi's confused whats so funny?"

" I do not comprehend this either" Sasori said with a blank expression.

" i-its j-j-just th-that any m-mment h-h-here is n-never an exciting m-moment. She stuttered more than usual due to her laughing. " Its not that I-I n-never think of m-my old fr-friends in Konoha but sometimes you g-guys just make me really h-happy f-for being here."

" Hinata I think your the one who brought us closer together, yeah." Deidara smiled " Plus I think thats the first time I've ever seem someone laugh so hard and I can not believe that person is you",un

" Yup your already one of us." Konan stated. ' Besides without you I would have never got to know more about Hidan'

" Deidara I like you a lot you know f-for bringing me here. Itachi you making me stronger. K-konan f-for being so kind to me" She started having tears in her eyes " I just love everyone h-here.

Deidara was messing up her hair " Yeah Hinata I love you too." but he only whispered it loud enough so he could hear.

"Hey Tobi has a good idea! Lets play truth or dare!" Ruining the moment Deidara was having with Hinata.

"Tobi! Read the mood!" Deidara shouted "I'm gonna kill you,un!"

"No! This is the second time someone threatened me today!" Tobi ran around screaming wondering what he did wrong

Konan said,"Sigh boys are real immature aren't they Hinata?"

" I-I agree" " Hinata said giggling "W-we girls have to stick together I-I g-guess."

"You said it"

...

"Kiba, Shino are you sure that you saw Hinata at the festival?" Tsunade asked

" Yes even though she had brown eyes and had a different hairstyle. I'm sure it was her. Shino stated. " I planted one of my tracking bugs on her and it seemed to stop at an unknown location."

"Yeah plus she smelled exactly like Hinata" Kiba said

" Ok now we need to in-"

Hiashi and Hinata came crashing through the door. Hiashi carrying Hanabi. " I heard that you were able to locate Hinata" Hiashi said panting. He let go off Hanabi by mistake, but Kiba caught her.

Neji said," It took you guys long enough"

Tsunade felt as if she was going to get a major headache." Ok so when do you want to start searching for her."

" As soon as possible." Hiashi announced
