AUTHOR'S NOTE: I know, you must all want to make me die a painful death. I started a new story. It was by request!!!! Which I'm not taking any more of 'til I end one story T_T first come first serve kids.
DISCLAIMER: No, sadly, I do not own Naruto. If I did, trust me, you'd be able to tell… hot yaoi every five seconds…
WARNING: Nothing I think . Well, mild language I guess. Oh, and this has a lot of drama. There are inside jokes Lacey!! Just not many. But you guys should have wrote 'em down so that there could have been more.
MAGGIE'S POV
God, how long has it been since I've seen them. Two, three weeks now? I'm going to go into withdrawals at this rate!!! I was spread out on Gaara's bed waiting for him to get home from his Kazekage duties. I never knew what to do with myself while he was at work. He wouldn't let me get a job saying he'd always have enough money for the both of us, and when I mentioned that I might go see Sarah and Erin he said I had to wait for his holiday. Nuh-uh, no way in hell was I taking orders, even from the Kazekage himself… until he had me against the wall kissing me convincing me to stay.. Then I had caved…
"Damn you Gaara and your sexyness," I groaned burying my head deeper in the blankets. "I wonder if I can get Lacey and Victoria to pick me up.." I thought aloud, "But how would I contact them?" I mulled over the question for a while. No phones in this day and age. No.. that would be too easy, wouldn't it? I don't even know where the Akatsuki hideout is.. Maybe I should just take off to Konoha. I can't today since Gaara will be home soon and he'll get to me too fast, but if I left tomorrow morning.. I'd be too far away for him to get me.
I felt a smirk twinge at the corners of my mouth. Whoever thought I'd be running from the redheaded sand demon? I sure didn't..
LACEY'S POV
Itachi was out.. Again. Ugh!! Why was Pain-sama sending him on so many missions? Come to think of it.. Tobi was gone a lot too. I really want to run into a trash can.. I got up off Itachi's uber comfy bed and made my way to the kitchen. Victoria was sitting on the couch watching TV from lack of better things to do. We were both bored out of our minds, but what could we do? Kisame rounded the corner yawning and puling a towel further up his waist. He had a bad habit of walking around right when he got out of the shower.
"Go put some pants on," I grumbled trying to find the pancakes. "I don't know about you Miss Lacey, but I prefer my pants off," he said yawning again. I sent him the glare Itachi had taught me and he went running to his room screaming, "You've only lived here three weeks and you can do the Uchiha glare!!!" I chuckled to myself and finally found the pancakes.
CAITLIN'S POV
I wanted to go home, now. Sure, Sasuke was great.. But.. I hated it here. Orochimaru had put us both in this stone, cell-like room. While Sasuke was out training.. I was stuck here. There were no windows, I couldn't even see the sun! God knows I'm pale enough. I caught a glimpse of red hair through the bars of the door. Karin was here. I slowly got up and made my way to the door. The girl shoved a piece of stale bread through the bars and smirked at me. "Bet you just LOVE it here, huh sweet heart?" she said sarcastically. I scowled at her and blinked away the tears that threatened to fall.
Hell, if I could just get back to Konoha I'd be happy. Karin cackled and walked down the stone hall out of my sight. I looked longingly at the bread and sighed. "Oh so appetizing," I grumbled and threw it in the corner. I was getting out of here, Sasuke or no Sasuke.
MAGGIE'S POV
I woke up with a start and sat up breathing hard. I had dozed off while waiting for Gaara.. He still wasn't home yet. "Caitlin," I whispered. I didn't realize that I was crying 'til I felt the wetness on the blanket. Caitlin wasn't safe, I knew it. I never was the one with the prophetic dreams, but that seemed too real. Too.. Horrible. "That bastard," I hissed. Hadn't Sasuke promised to keep her safe?! I had to leave, I had to find my friends and save Caitlin.
I kicked off the covers and made my way to the closet. "Do I have some freakin' running away syndrome?" I muttered to myself. Yeah, probably. I tied the now threadbare hoody around my waist, I just didn't feel right without it. I was already in a white tank top and green cargo capris. I pulled on my boots and tied them up. I bit my lip, "Oh Gaara, please forgive me." "For what?" I spun around and there stood the Kazekage himself, arms crossed. He looked tired and hungry at the moment, and now a bit confused while his teal eyes bored into my green ones.
"U-Um.." I trailed off, immediately tongue tied. He tilted his head slightly in confusion. Come on girl! You know how to lie! Go ahead!! But I couldn't.. I couldn't lie to him. "Caitlin's in trouble," I said, adverting my gaze to the floor. "She's in really bad trouble Gaara, I need to find her and get her safe. I know you don't want me to leave, but I have to." I finished tying my boots and stood up. His arms had dropped to his side and he looked blankly at the wall to his right. "Gaara.." I said reaching for his arm. When I touched him he looked up, snapping his eyes back to mine. I flinched and turned away.
"I… I'll go now," I said failing to control the lump in my throat. I grabbed my backpack by the bedroom door and headed for the window. I had it up and open ready to climb out when I felt his arms around my middle. "You'll come back, right?" he asked. My face flushed and I nodded. His arms left my body and I instantly missed the warmth. I turned around and steadily met his gaze. "If you die, I'll be with you shortly," he said. My eyes widened at the meaning but again I simply nodded for the loss of my voice. "Good bye Maggie," he whispered, and I was out onto the roof, making my way to Konoha.
VICTORIA'S POV
"Wait, where are we going?" I asked. Ever since Lacey had woke up from her nap she'd been throwing random clothes into her bag mumbling something about Sasuke-teme. "We've got to get to Konoha. Something's happened to Caitlin. I have a feeling we'll get there about the same time as Maggie." "How do you know she's going?!" I said wide-eyed. "Just a feeling," she said again and pulled the string to close her bag. "Pack. Now," she said pointing to me. I saluted her and ran to mine and Tobi's room. I grabbed clothes out of the drawers and even grabbed one of Tobi's t-shirts. It had an orange swirl on it, I hope he doesn't mind.
I stepped into my shoes and met Lacey in the living room. "We going now?" I said glancing at the exit. She nodded and we were about to leave when the overgrown fish stick blocked our way. "No, you're not leaving. Itachi will blame me and he'll be even MORE angry with me," he said. Lacey raised her eyebrow and said, "If you don't move I'll cut off your lungs and suck out your wind-pipe." Kisame moved out of the way rather quickly.. Lacey tapped the wall in the right rhythm and we were off. "Please," I muttered, "Please let Caitlin be okay."
