Scene set: Fumiko has been tied up again. Leader Pein is Not Pleased. He is also Not There. She is Very Alone and Very Bored To Tears.

...

"I wonder when Gaara is going to come and get me..."

"Am I on ransom or something?"

"... Echo!"

"Echo!"

"Echo!"

"Ha ha."

"Maybe if I take my shoe off, I can draw in the dirt..."

Skritch. Skritch. Scratch.

"Ah ha! Smiley face!"

"..."

"Leaf!"

"..."

"Ahh! A spider bit me! Ow!"

Shift, shifty-shift.

"Ahh! It's following me!"

Shifty-shifty-shift-shift-shift-

"Uf!"

"What do you think you're doing?"

"I'm running away from the spider! Uh, scooting away from the spider! It bit me! Get it away!"

"You're kidding me."

"Noooo, it's coming after me again!"

"If I get it will you stop yelling like a lunatic?"

"Yeesss!"

"Alright, hold on-"

"NOOOO! Don't step on it! Take it outside! Take it outside!"

"What?"

"Please don't kill it!"

"... Insane... Absolutely... Well then what exactly do you want me to do?"

"Pick it up and put it outside! ... Uh, are we underground, or just in a cave?"

"Ha! I'm not touching that thing, it's the size of my hand. I'm just gonna squash the little nuisance."

"No!"

"Ow you little- I'll shred you!"

"Sorry! I didn't mean to trip you, just stop your foot! Run, spider!"

"..."

"..."

"... I think it wanted to eat me."

"Are you nuts?"

"Clinically?"

"What? No. It was a rhetorical-"

"Because the psychologists I have to see for my physicals say I'm not- I guess I just have really bad judgement sometimes- but everyone else I talk to seems to think so. But, most of the people I talk to don't seem very happy a lot..."

"Whatever. I'm leaving. No escaping."

"Okay. Woah!"

"What is it this time?"

"You're blue!"

"Yeah, what of it?"

"Blue's my absolutely favorite color! And you're almost my favorite shade of blue!"

"What- I- almost?"

"My favorite blue is the sky. In Suna, during the summer, when it's really hot and there's almost no clouds at all. You're darker though. It's still pretty. Can I do a color study?"

"A what?"

"Can I make your portrait?"

"... You really are nuts. Did Sasori hit your head to knock you out?"

"No... At least I don't think so. I'm pretty sure he used airborne gas or something, I mean, it smelled funny and then I woke up here. Ah! The spider's back!"

"Grr-"

"NO DONT KILL IT!"

"Why are you so loud?!"

"Tobi will save the spider!"

Crash!

"Damn you, you Baka!"

"TOBI IS AFRAID OF SPIDERS! AHH!"

"Tobi, put it outside, really quick!"

"Okay!"

Tap tap tap tap... tap. Tap... Ta..

"..."

"..."

"The rock is locked! Sempai! Sempai! Sem-"

"WHAT?"

"The rock is locked! Tobi is scared of spiders!"

"UNLOCK IT THEN, YEAH!"

"Oh, right! Tobi can unlock the door too!"

RUMBLE.

"Yaay! Go, Tobi!"

"The spider is outside!"

"Stop grinning."

"Why?"

"Because you're kidnapped!""

"Oh, yeah, I've been meaning to ask. Why?"

"... What."

"I mean like, am I on ransom, or did you get paid, or something? Am I going to get picked up by somebody else? Did you get me by accident? I don't really know a lot about the Akatsuki."

"I said it once. I'm going to say it again. And then I'm going to leave and pretend this never happened."

"Okay."

"You- are- insane!"

"AHH! THE SPIDER IS CHASING TOBI!"

...

...

Scene set: Kisame is face-palming, and Fumiko is shouting encouragement, on the floor, tied up. Oh yeah, and Tobi-Dara is running around outside being chased by a big hairy spider.

ha ha.

This one was so much fun to write... I love ad lib...

Anyway! I'm working strong on Sands of Time like you wouldn't believe! Already I have finished chapter three! (... Lots of words. Not three. Thousands. Possibly probably hundreds of thousands. I had to say it. Three is lame.)

whiiiiich is why I don't write much Kidnapped By Akatsuki. That's more of a whim thing. But please, review! I MISS TALKING TO MY READERS SO BAD! T.T
