The thing about life is that no matter how much you plan ahead, no matter how simple a task seems something will definitely and inveterately go wrong. Even if that thing may be the smallest of details or the biggest inconvenience. More than likely something will go wrong.

So while the smartest of us may anticipate these happenings and even plan for them, there will always be something left out, some peace of communication that could tear the whole thing down.

The funny thing is that this peace of information is often picked up by others, yet discarded as unimportant. They also seem to forget to mention it until the very last moment, which is always very inconvenient and annoying.

So as Emily, Konan and I were lying in the hot sun on the soft sand, Emily decided to share with us what she had heard on the news this morning.

"Do you ever get that feeling that you've forgetting something, something really important?" she asked in a sleepy voice. Both she and Konan were lying on their stomaches, letting the hot sun soak into their skin.

"Yeah," Konan and I replied at the same time.

"Well I have that feeling now, I just can't put my finger on it, but I know I've forgotten something."

"I hope it's nothing too important," I said, propping myself up on my elbows, looking out to sea.

Tobi was running through the waves, Deidara chasing after him yelling something about seaweed. Zetsu was just up from the waves making a sand castle, although at the moment it looked more like a fortress. I don't think anyone else could create something so complex and beautiful out of sand. (Except maybe Gaara)

I looked up the beach and saw Itachi who was walking along the shoreline looking adamantly out to sea with a wondering expression on his face.

I looked out to sea but couldn't sea anything remotely interesting. Itachi smiled at something and then focused his attention back on the beach. I looked at him a bit closer, taking in his flowing black hair, ruby red eyes and confident poster. Something about him captivated me, he was compelling yet so far away, it was starting to bug me at how much of a mystery he was.

A scream form the water brought my attention back. Thinking of the worst I looked and saw that it was just Deidara trying put seaweed down Tobi's board shorts.

Emily and Konan laughed beside me, their heads twisted around to see what the fuss was.

A light flush caught Emily's cheeks as she watched Deidara.

"He looks quit handsome without his top on doesn't he?" I asked her with a wink.

"Wh-what? I don't know what you're talking about." She stammered, her checks now blushing a deep scarlet.

"Aw, look how red you've gone, that's so cute," Konan smiled at her, catching onto Emily's crush.

"Shut up," she grumbled, going even a deeper red.

I laughed, "Don't worry Em, you're secret is safe with us," I said giving her another wink.

"Hmph, it better be," she grumbled and lay back down.

Konan and I laughed, we wouldn't say a word, not directly anyway.

Back on the beach Tobi was jumping up and down, trying to get the seaweed out of his board shorts. Deidara had run off, and was now inspecting Zetsu's sand castle which had grown a couple more towers and bridges.

Itachi had come back from his walk and plopped himself down on the sand, a little way from where we were sitting.

"Don't even think about touching it," Zetsu growled at Tobi as he came over to inspect it, "Or we will have your head."

"Tobi wouldn't dream of it," Tobi said innocently, putting his hands up in a sign of peace. "Infact, Tobi might go for a swim." He said matter of factly and ran down into the waves.

"Does he even know how to swim?" I asked as I watched the water rise to his waist and then up his bare chest and he walked further into the water.

"I don't know," Konan said, a frown forming on her face.

As we watched Tobi went out deeper and deeper. It tuned out that Tobi could infact swim, although it looked like a mutated version of breaststroke, doggy paddle and butterfly all in one.

My fears now subsided I lay down on my back, closing my eyes and feeling the warmth of the sun soak through my skin. For once everything seemed to be going ok, for once nothing bad had happened.

I relaxed my body, something which I hadn't been able to do in a long time. The hot sun made me sleepy, pulling my mind into a half awake state where reality felt like a dream and everything was peaceful.

"I remember now," Emily said. Her voice sounded far away and clouded in fog; it was hard to concentrate on it.

"Remember what?" Konan asked, her voice sounding like how I felt.

"What was so important. On the news this morning there were reports of a shark being sighted at the local beaches. Apparently it's huge, experts have no idea what kind it is but they're telling people to stay out of the water until it moves into deeper waters."

I tried to take in what she had said but my mind just wouldn't work, kind of like when you first wake up in the morning. Something told me that this was bad news, but my sleepy mind just wouldn't take it.

It was only until a blood curdling scream pierced my ears when my mind finally came back to reality.

I shot up onto my feet, Emily and Konan doing likewise. Looking out to sea I saw arms failing around, water splashing everywhere. Another scream tore through the air, Tobi's head broke the surface of the ocean and then went under again.

He was gone, entirely submerged under the water. Everyone stood completely still for a few seconds in utter shock until the realisation of what was happening broke through.

"TOBI!" we all screamed.

I didn't think, I didn't even realise what I was doing until Itachi yelled out "Stop!"

My feet had just reached the water as he called. I whipped around to face him, "What do mean stop? Tobi's out there being attacked!"

"But not by what you think, just watch." His voice was calm as always, but amusement danced in his eyes.

I hesitated for a split second, and that's all it took for Emily to go racing by me, splashing her way through the waves.

"Emily!" I ran after her and caught her.

"Wait," I said, as I watched the water.

"Wait for what! You're taking a serial killers word? Come on, Tobi being eaten alive!"

Suddenly Tobi came back up, gasping for air, his arms splashing around wildly.

A shadow formed next to Tobi and a dark shape emerged from the water. Emily screamed in horror, but looking closer I realised that whatever it was, looked somehow familiar.

The thing grinned evilly and then slipped below the water once more.

Everything fell into place, and suddenly I knew what, no who, it was terrorizing Tobi.

Letting go of Emily I fell to my knees in the water, unable to hold myself up while in such hysterics. I couldn't help it, I was laughing so hard that I didn't Emily curse my name and then run off into the water.

Deidara, Zetsu and Konan started laughing as well, cottoning on to what was happening.

Gaining control over my laughter I stood back up and saw that Emily had reached Tobi and they were now both swimming as fast as they could into shore.

The dark shadow came up behind them, breaking the surface of the water and opened his mouth in a huge grin, the sharp points of his teeth flashing in the sun.

Emily glanced over her shoulder and screamed, Tobi joining in with her. That was when the shark's dark resolve cracked erupting in a fit of laughter which shook the water.

Stopping in confusion Emily and Tobi looked at the shark who was now holding his stomach in laughter.

"Wha-" Emily began.

"Kisame?" Tobi yelled, shocked and angry.

"hahaha I got you two good!" Kisame chocked out between laughs. All of us on the beach joined in, and finally Emily did too. The only one who didn't laugh was Tobi.

"How dare you! Tobi was so scared and now you just laugh! That's the meanest thing anyone's ever done to Tobi!" after he had yelled at the still giggling Kisame he stomped out of the water the up the beach, grabbing a towel and sitting down in a huff.

"Aw come on Tobi, it wasn't that bad, hm" Deidara said, sitting down next to him and clapping him on the back, "Just think, at least it wasn't a real shark, you're lucky, yeah."

"Hmph, if you say so," Tobi grumbled, still pissed about the whole thing.

Laughing I made my way back up the beach and resumed my earlier position of lying on my back, Emily and Konan joined me.

"So where have you been all this time?" Zetsu asked, going back to his ever enlarging sand castle. "Luckily not stuck here with us."

"Out and about, terrorising villages, you know; the usual." Kisame said laughing as he morphed out of his shark version and was left standing on two feet with his sword in hand.

"Did you spot any of the others, hm?" Deidara asked from beside Tobi.

"Nah, you guys are the first I've seen since I got here. Where are we exactly?" he asked, looking questionably at each of us.

Luckily Zetsu and Itachi explained to him the whole story, I wasn't ready for another explanation that could lead in anger outbursts.

"Really? So you mean our future is basically set out infront of us by some crack pot? Wow, how degrading. Hey any luck with locating the necklace and the family yet?" he asked the others.

"Not as yet, we're concentrating on finding the other members first," Itachi replied, a slight frown on his face.

"Dam, the sooner we find that necklace, the sooner we find the family and the sooner we get to go home," he replied.

"What are you guys going to do once you find the person with the necklace?" Emily asked, propping herself up on her elbows.

"We'll take them back to our world, where they belong." Kisame replied an expression I couldn't read on his face; power? Desire?

"And then what, my guess is that you're not going to hand them back to the Leaf are you?" I asked, already speculating at their desire for more power.

Kisame grinned evilly and Itachi replied, "That's not for you to know, and anyway, it doesn't concern you."

Yeah, only because he knows we'd kick them out if we found out what they were really planning.

Knowing the Akatsuki they would probably train this family until they were really powerful and then use their powers to their own demise.

Emily gave me a look that clearly said she didn't trust their motives, I was in total agreement.

"Well this family is supposed to be somewhere close, so we shouldn't have that much troubled finding them." Kisame stated, suddenly looking at Emily and I.

"It's not you guys is it?" he asked, suspicion leaking from his voice.

"I don't think they're capable of such feats," Zetsu replied before either one of us could, "Oh come on, give them a bit more credit, they have managed to keep all of us from killing each other haven't they? That in itself is a major feat." Black Zetsu put in. Although I was thankful for him sticking up for us, I really didn't want to be on their suspect list.

"Haha you have a point," Kisame laughed.

"Although, I think it would better if we kept a close eye on them from now on," Itachi said, eyeing us suspiciously. Hey we're right here!

"Great, now they're going to be watching our every move," Emily grumbled from beside me.

"Dam, now we definitely can't move that necklace from the attic to a safe spot." I said, sounding defeated.

All heads turned towards me.

"It's called sarcasm," I said, shaking my head at them.

"That raises a good point though, we should search their home just in case," Kisame said.

"Yes, very well." Itachi replied, his brow furrowed in thought.

"Great now they're going to search our house," Emily said, "Hey wait, you guys aren't searching my room, that's off limits." She stated forcibly, I didn't feel comfortable with them searching my room either.

"I can search it if it makes you feel better," Konan put in.

"Yes, thank you," Emily replied.

"And Tobi can help Konan too!"

"Um maybe just Konan, sorry Tobi but I'd rather none of you guys go in there." Emily said to Tobi who was instantly disappointed.

"What, afraid we'll find out who your big crush is?" Kisame teased, making Emily blush.

"Shut up shark boy, that's none of your business!"

"Oooh, getting defensive are we now? Who is it, Itachi or Deidara…"

"Just cause you don't have a girlfriend," Emily yelled, sending Kisame into fits of laughter.

"How about we head home," I suggested, I think we'd all had enough of the beach for one day.

"Good idea," Konan agreed, also feeling the tension between Emily and Kisame grow dangerous.

So with that we gathered the beach towels, admired Zetsu's work for the last time and headed home, to whatever adventures awaited us there.
