Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.


Ino sat pensive of her situation. She, the hokage's wife, had just let herself get captured, she'd never felt so inferior. Causing people grief and worry. Ino wouldn't have any of that, normally she'd make sure everyone elses lives were fine before her own. Call it nosiness, but Ino found herself to be very caring.

"He'll come for me." She decided to remind them.

The man who'd been sitting on his chair smiled, "Oh? Explain why its been nearly half an hour and he's still not here."

"This building's enormous, I wouldn't be surprised if it took him and the others a day to find me." Ino suggested.

"This building's not that big, and considering the amount of byakugan users invited, they should have at least detected your chakra signature by now. I guess my men have already killed them all."

He shook his head, amused, "And to think Konoha's Greatest Hokage would love you more than to just die and leave you with me, they're probably not even looking for yo-"

Ino shook with anger, "You're wrong." she seethed, "They'll come, and don't ever question Naruto's love towards me."

The man walked up to her, close enough that their noses touched and caressed her cheek,
he chuckled, "We'll see."


Naruto and Shikamaru were traveling slower than usual, Hinata's baby had to be safe so Naruto carried her while she told them which direction to go in. Naruto was extremely worried, not because if Sasuke saw him carrying his wife he'd beat the living daylights out of him, no. But because Ino was gone. And he'd just let her go, as if she'd slipped passed his fingers. He really hated himself, no one would be risking their lives for his mistake of coming here. Ino wouldn't be gone, his daughters wouldn't be in danger, and neither would the others' kids.

"Take a right, I see someone." Hinata's command came.

Naruto and Shikamaru complied immediately, but carefully. Minding her baby. They turned a corner until they saw a tall dark cloak. Naruto froze, his hold on Hinata suddenly getting tighter.

"Move." he growled.

The cloak only chuckled, revealing a row of sharp white teeth.
"Sorry, but I've been given strict orders to kill all four of you."

Four? Hinata stared at him in puzzlement, she looked down. Only seeing Naruto and Shikamaru. "But there's only three of us her-" Hinata's breath hitched, knowing he was talking about her unborn baby. Gripping her stomach she started trembling.

Naruto must've caught on to this because next thing she knew he was in his arms, getting lowered slowly. "Shikamaru, protect her and the baby for the mean time, I'll be right back."

Shikamaru nodded at the Hokage's firm orders, guarding over Hinata and waiting for Naruto to get this over with.

"Leave them out of this, it's probably just me you want. Or more specifically the kyuubi."

The man grinned, "Well if you insist."

Naruto led the man away. And in a matter of minutes he came back, angrier than before.
"Who-" Shikamaru was cut off.

"Kisame. Lets go."

They quickly retreated to wherever Hinata would say.

Shikamaru frowned, he had sensed a few akatsuki members before, but never bothered to speak up, it was too much of a drag. However now, he couldn't help but get worried over the others.


Hidan smiled when he felt a bit more free, looks like this kids jutsu's not as good as his fathers. "What's the matter, bitch?"

Shikari's eyebrows shot down in concentration, he wasn't bothered by the insult a bit, he just couldn't lose his cool, he had to stay focused. With a bead of sweat rolling down his face, he realized this wouldn't last long. Also knowing that if his jutsu were to fail, they'd all die.

"Tejen, leave." He would never forgive himself if he'd let them die too, his selfless persona came into action.

Tejen's face tightened, "I'm in ANBU, you don't need to do this. I have the responsibility of taking care of you two, and I can't ju-"

"Tejen, leave. Now." Shikari's jutsu was getting weaker by the moment, Hidan could already move his fingers. "And protect Hinari." Keeping in mind the Inuzuka's would dance on his grave if he let Hinari die so young. Breaking eye contact from Hidan, and glancing at Tejen, and saw he still wouldn't move. Well, when push comes to shove, "I TOLD YOU TO GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE." Hidan's controlled body flung them outside in a hallway.

Tejen cursed under his breath, Shikari sure was determined to save at least someone in his lifetime. "Come on Hinari," he took his hand and walked down the hallway searching for Ino.

Hidan grinned, "Good to have them out of the way, right cocksucker?"

Shikari looked back at Hidan. Whatever his father had done to the guy, it sure has taken a toll on him. Pinkish blotches of skin resembled something of poor diet, maybe his father had removed his stomach so he couldn't digest anything? It looked like he hadn't eaten in years.
"Why? Want me all for yourself, queer?"

Hidan immediately jumped out of the jutsu, not that Shikari could hold on any longer anyway.
Running towards him, he tried to punch him. Shikari quickly dodged, missing every hit Hidan would throw at him. "WHAT WAS THAT, FAG?"

Shikari made it a point to dodge his slashing syphe, not only to avoid death, but because that blade looked really dirty. Shikari cringed at the thought of the filthy metal stained with others' blood cutting threw his skin. Shikari was quite the clean freak, enough that he'd rather kill himself with a clean kunai, than someone else with a dirty blade.

Having no time to think, Shikari decided to toy with him some more.
"Who's the fag here? You're the one who won't leave little boys alone, what are you fifty now? Molester.."

When Hidan started snarling swears and increasing the strength and speed, after a few strands of Shikari's short hair was chopped off he provoked further, "I mean, just look at the blood on that syphe. How many of your murders were under twenty?"

Hidan's eyes were bulging in irritation, this little cockass bitch was getting the best of him. Feeling a wave of blood lust overtake him, he decided he was going to savor his blood for a while. Playing his own game he jeered, "Yeah? And just how many lovers have you gotten in your fagass lifetime?"

Shikari thought for awhile, he knew Kunisa had liked him before when they were younger. Hell, a lot of girls liked him, he had blonde tousled short hair, and small brown eyes. He was fairly handsome among his year. He remembered only a few girls, Shani Hatake, Kaori Mitarashi, and Yami Senju. The rest were either too ugly, or too troublesome to interact with.

"I'm positive its more than you'll ever have. Oh, and I assure you none of them are guys," smirking, he ventured, "Fag."

Hidan had had it! This guy was gonna pay, now. Enough playing around, he snuck behind his back and pulled his hair up to his face, so that they were at eye level. "That's enough out of you," he barked throwing him to a wall a few feet away.

Shikari ricocheted from the wall and to the floor, he cursed himself for not taking taijutsu practice seriously back at the academy. Attempting to stand he propped himself up on one foot, only to get a strong punch in the gut, this guy may've been dumb, but he could really beat on someone.

"Tell me bastard, is your father here now?" Hidan launched a kick to Shikari's side.

Shikari skid across the floor before jumping back up and attempting the shadow possession hand seals only to have his wrist twisted behind his back, "Answer me, kid." Hidan snarled.

Shikari suppressed a scream, for the first time near panic, and not knowing whether to risk his life trying to protect everyone else and not answer, or not answering and probably end up dying anyways. He grimaced, this just got four hundred times more troublesome.


Jeni and Sakubi watched boredly, its been ten minutes and they're still at it. Itachi and Misuke, weapons after weapons, kicks after kicks. It was entertaining at first but now..

"Should we uh, you know, do something?" Jeni suggested.

Sakubi's mouth went dry, he scratched the back of his head. "Well, don't get me wrong. It's just, I thought you were into Takun, and with me and Nino, and now you and I, I don't know if I could cheat on both Nino and Takun as a bro and-"

"Don't be ridiculous, I meant about the fight, should we interfere or not?" Jeni fought the urge to gentle fist him.

"Oh," Sakubi looked down dejectedly, "I don't know, what do you want to do?"

Jeni stared at them, "I don't know, he told us to stay out of his way, maybe we should just continue searching."

Sakubi scoffed, "Yeah right! And leave all the action to him? Stay here, I'm going in!"

Jeni's eyes widened, "What? No! Sak-"

But she was too late, Sakubi had already jumped into action. Only to get punched out,
"I told you to stay out of my way." Misuke growled, dodging another kick from Itachi.

Sakubi rubbed his cheek, "Fine! But we won't come back for you! Come on Jeni, lets get out of here." he walked away.

Jeni watched, and reluctantly followed, "Um, where are we going? And should we have left him all alone?"

"Tch. He can take care of himself. And we're going searching, lead me."

Jeni was taken back by his attitude, almost fearful of him. But nonetheless activated her bloodline "Take a left."


Sasuke clenched his fists while running, he'd felt Itachi's chakra the moment he'd got here. He couldn't be far. But he had to focus on Ino now, fucking Ino. She just had to be clumsy and get kidnapped, so annoying.

Neji cleared his throat, "Since we're all just back up, I think it be okay if we split up, I'm going north. Take care of yourselves." and then he was gone without a trace.

Sakura looked at Sasuke sheepishly, "Maybe we should stay together? You know to-"

"I'm going after my brother, take care of yourself." and then, he too, was gone.

Sakura stared where he used to be just a moment ago, "Well if this doesn't bring back memories." she smiled weakly, not realizing the tears streaming down her cheeks.


Sorry for the long wait, NEW SCHOOL. SHIT.
I don't feel like boring you guys with any of the details, but shit. I love my coach, like he's so fucking funny to me. I'm sure he's not trying to be but the way he talks and looks at kids is so hilarious to me. ALL I DO IN GYM IS COUGH BECAUSE IF I LAUGH I'LL HAVE TO RUN, so I'm there biting the inside of my mouth till it bleeds, trying to avert my gaze from him without looking disrespectful. I've find big guys hilarmous, like I FUCKING ADORE THE RAIKAGE, he's my favorite Naruto character.
AP AND HONORS CLASSES FUCKING SUCK.
shit, don't you guys hate it when you go to a new school and you see people you haven't seen since elementary and you're like, "HOLY FUCK IS THAT JOEY?" and they hear you, and they don't even recognize you because you've changed so much, like i had boy short hair in elementary school and now its to my mid back.
but on a brighter note, I actually really liked the naruto shippuden movie 2 bonds, it was the first time i saw sai as hot, really. it was freaking awesome having naruto and sasuke fight against that super saiyan freak.
But I'm happy I'll be able to maybe update every week? thats what I've been doing, writing a bit each day after I finish my homework and now that i'm finally done i'm gonna shower and take a nap until monday.
