Disclaimer, disclaimer, disclaimer. What will happen without you?

Kiba: you'll get sued?

Me: maybe… but I can see some people also forget the disclaimer.

True… isn't it? So well, that concludes, I don't own Naruto (like always).

Kaitlyn's POV

"Stop. Running. Now." I was really tired after trying to outrun Kiba and Lee. And unfortunately, since I stopped to take a breather, they were out of sight.

"I told you. You should have listened to me and not run," Shino said.

"Unfortunately, those two sprinters up front wouldn't wait, so I might as well run after them." I replied.

"Don't worry, we won't lose them," Neji said after catching up with us.

"How'd you know that?" I asked.

"I can see them very clearly."

"Byakugan?" I asked Hinata after Neji decided to catch up with Kiba and Lee.

"Um, yes, you see, we can see up to ten kilometres away so I assume Neji could be able to see them. You know, Kiba and Neji."

I guess I can say that Hinata and I are good friends, since she doesn't stutter much around me.

I was deep in thought that I didn't realise I had caught up with Kiba and Lee (who had stopped running and started walking) and I crashed into Kiba who had suddenly stopped walking (I have no idea why).

When I crashed into him, I made him stagger a little to the front and I went a little to the back. Knowing Kiba, he would-

"Why. Did. You. Do. That?"

That was not expected of him. So I just said "I was, um, deep in thought. Yeah, that's it." And I just kept the distance between us. And whenever I kept thinking about Akatsuki/Vrinda/Carol, I would start worrying. Why? Who knows what the Akatsuki have planned for them…

Akatsuki hideout (Itachi's POV)

Oh goody. Oh goody. OH GOODY! (I'm being sarcastic)

Now practically EVERYONE is back from their various missions. That's fine. But what's not fine is that they keep harping on my mistake (the taking Akamaru instead of Kaitlyn one).

But the worst part is: Vrinda and Carol have now started annoying the other members too. They were now trying to get Zetsu to eat them (they're pretty fast. It seems like they think he can't eat them. Oh I wish he would!).

"Why do you like eating people?" Carol asked, while watering him as if he was a plant.

White: "Because they are… yummy?" Black: "Don't be a fool unless you want me to eat you."

"Why do you have split personalities?" Vrinda asked, while watching him get watered.

White: "Because I'm black and white." Black: "Because I'm white and black."

"You know, that doesn't make sense." Vrinda said.

Now, I'm pretty sure this was a mistake, but I didn't want to tell Pain, since he was the one who suggested this mission. Kinda.

Flashback

"Itachi, Kisame. I want you two to capture these three genin from Konoha. Kaitlyn, Carol and Vrinda. They are rumoured to be extremely powerful. And I know they are. They might, one day, become an enemy to the Akatsuki. So I want you to bring them here so we can make them trust Akatsuki, and then use them to destroy Konoha. How about that, huh?" Pain went on and on.

End of flashback

"Hello? Hello? Hello, weasel?" Vrinda snapped her fingers in front of my face.

"What?"

"Nothing."

I must be in a nightmare. Someone please save me from those two. Oh, I forgot the dog. Well, he's not giving any trouble. So far. Then I realised, someone might be trying to rescue these people (and the dog). I think I should go warn Pain.

Back to the mission (Kaitlyn's POV)

I kept thinking of what we'd do after finding the Akatsuki hideout. In fact, we may never find it. Which was why I needed a plan. We needed a plan. We must not die. Yes, the hard part. Not dying…

Hinata jarred me out of my thoughts. "Um, kaityln, are you ok? You seem a little… dazed."

"Er, yeah, I'm ok. Just… thinking."

"You know, you've been thinking a lot."

I sighed. "I know. I'm just worried. About Akatsuki. About Vrin and Carol and Akamaru…"

After that, we walked in silence. The sky was getting darker and darker each minute. I was still walking, deep in thought, when everyone said, "STOP WALKING!"

I looked around and looked back at them. There was nothing here. I took another step "What are you talking-"

SPLASH! I seemed to have fallen in a river, but to me, it looked like I was swimming in the ground. It didn't even feel wet. But as I looked up, my friends were getting further and further away. I started panicking.

"Why can't she see the river?" Kiba asked Neji. His voice sounded distant.

"Must be some kind of genjutsu. I don't know. Maybe there's an enemy!" he replied.

A kunai missed Hinata by an inch. "I t-think Neji's r-right."

They finally caught up to me. "Swim to the shore! Swim to the shore!" they all said.

"How am I supposed to swim if I don't know where to go? I'm trapped in a genjutsu, hello?" I said.

"Shino, your bugs!" Lee said.

"What?" Shino replied.

"YOUR BUGS! Use them to pull Kaitlyn out of there!"

"Oh! My bugs. You mean, kikaichu."

Shino formed a 'bug-rope' and I held on to it. He then managed to pull me to the shore. The moment I got up, I said:

"Please mark it with a kunai I don't want to fall in again."

"You still cant see it?" Kiba asked.

"Apparently/obviously no."

Just then, the enemy showed up. What luck.

That's all for now. Hope it's kinda understandable now, I added some details or what-not.

Kiba: if it's not?

Me: you aren't supposed to be in the ending note!

Kiba: is this what you call it?

Me: kinda. So well, plz review!

Kiba: yeah, if you don't, then it's, it's… I don't know.

So, yeah, plz read and review! :D
