Sorry it's been a long time, my courses have been a pain in the ass lately and I'm super busy. But I am making this chapter longer to apologise.

On we go...

Konoha No POV

Tsunade sat in her office finishing off her tenth sake, usually she wouldn't go past eight when she is working but as much as she would hate to admit it, she was worried. Kakashi had not returned and neither had Naruto or Sasuke (bet you forgot about them). She was beginning to believe they might be dead but she hoped to god that they weren't. "If one of them does not return by nightfall then I am contacting the Kazekage, he would want to know that his friend is gone." She told her assistant Shizune.

"I'm sure Kakashi will find them before then" Shizune replied.

"I hope you're right Shizune, I hope you're right."

Meanwhile with Sasunaru

Sasuke POV

"We have been down here for days Sasuke, if they are going to do something then why haven't they?" Naruto asked me.

"I don't know Naru, they're probably waiting for Kakashi to show up since we are the bait." I replied calmly. Inside I was anything but calm. It has been three days since we were taken and I haven't been able to hold Naruto through that time. Not to mention we haven't been fed.

"Do you think baa-chan is looking for us?" Naru asked me.

"She probably sent someone to find us and is waiting to hear something or for us to return."

"Yeah probably."

He remained silent after that. He's been silent a lot these past few days.

"Is something wrong, I mean other than the kidnapping, you've been too silent?" I asked, mentally kicking myself for how I phrased it. Of course he's not ok, we were kidnapped.

"..." Silence was what greeted me.

"Naruto?"

"I feel so alone without you holding me, I..." He trailed off.

"Miss me holding you," I finished, "I know. I feel the same Naru."

"I don't want to be here Sasu, I want to go home, go out to Ichiraku's with you, and then snuggle up to you at home." He responded despairingly.

"And we will Naru, when we get out of here, that's the first thing we will do." I promised.

"If we get out of here."

"DON'T!" I shouted, causing him to jump and finally look at me in surprise, "Don't give up like that, the Naruto I know and love does not give up."

Naruto smiled and said "Thanks Sasuke, I won't give up."

"Well isn't this touching?" Came a voice from the doorway.

(This was where it was going to end but then I promised a longer chapter so...Continuing)

Half an hour earlier with Kakashi & Itachi

Itachi POV

Kakashi has been asleep for the past three days. I've been worried sick but with all my worry I feel like I have forgotten something... Well if it's important I'll remember.

"Mmmn" I snapped out of my thoughts to look at the source of the noise. Kakashi was waking up. He looks up at me with bleary eyes for a second before recognition, followed by fear appeared in those eyes. He started to back away.

"Shh, Shh. Don't back away, I promise I'm not going to hurt you. You have been asleep for three days; I've been looking after you." I said in a calm and comforting tone. It seemed to work as he stopped backing away.

"You were there before I passed out... and again when I woke up... both times."

"I took you to Konan to get you healed, she doesn't agree with what Pein..." Kakashi winced "...Sorry, what HE did to you. She and I are probably the only people in here that you can trust. And I will continue to help you by keeping HIM away from you."

"How can I trust you?" He asked.

"Tell me how I can prove it to you."

"Release Naruto and Sasuke." I knew I had forgotten something!

"I will." I said sincerely.

"Really?" He asked, surprised.

"Really." Just then, there was a knock on the door. Kakashi jumped then froze. "Who is it?" I asked keeping my voice neutral.

"Konan." Was the reply.

"Come in," Then to Kakashi said "It's ok, you can trust her." Konan entered the room then shut the door behind her.

"It's good to see you're finally awake Kakashi." She said in a kind voice. Kakashi relaxed a little when he saw it wasn't Pein and that she meant no harm.

"I've come to change your bandages as I have been doing the past three days, you had some pretty nasty cuts," She said calmly. Kakashi hesitantly nodded and allowed her to change the bandages. "You're healing well, give it five more days and you should be completely healed."

"Thank you," Kakashi said, giving Konan a hesitant smile.

"Oh and Konan?" I called

"Yes?"

"Could you release our two prisoners?"

"Your brother and the jinjuriki?" She questioned.

"Yes them."

"Sure, but if I get caught It's your head." She stated before leaving.

I turned to Kakashi "Told you I would let them go. Trust me now?"

"A little," he replied so quietly, I almost missed it.

"That's enough for me."

Back with Sasunaru.

Sasuke POV again

I turned to the voice at the door and saw a bluenette woman. 'Konan' my mind supplied. I remember hearing about her in a meeting with the Hokage.

"What do you want?" I asked more calmly than I felt. She completely ignored me as she walked towards Naruto. "Stay away from him!" I shouted/growled. She ignored me again and brought out a black cloth. She used it to blindfold Naruto; he whimpered as she did so, then moved towards me and did the same.

I then heard a clink of chains being released and I felt my hands free... for about a second until they were tied behind my back. We walked a bit forward before I was forced to my knees. I felt Naruto next to me so I stayed close to hopefully give him comfort. Must have worked as he stopped shaking.

I heard the same clink again so I assumed she was doing the same to Naruto as she did me. When that was finished she grabbed me, and presumably Naruto, by our tied hands and forced us to walk forwards. After walking for what I believed to be ten minutes, I felt the sun on my skin and knew we were outside.

We were forced to keep walking for another hour or so, in all different directions, until she stopped and untied us. When I took off the blindfold, she was nowhere in sight. I couldn't even sense her chakra. The next thing I knew I had my arms full of Naruto.

"Oh Sasuke, they let us go! Wait..." He stopped the hug but still stayed in my arms "...why did they let us go?"

"I don't know, but I think the better question is, where are we?" I looked around and noticed we are close to Konoha. "We are close to Konoha, let's go home." I said as I took Naruto's hand.

"Yeah let's"

(YAY! Happy ending there for Sasunaru. I like how they don't question why they are so close to home lol. Anyway, hope you enjoyed ^_^)
