A/N: I haven't done this and I don't really see why i should since you all know i don't own Naruto, but I'll do it anyway.

I do NOT own Naruto or any of the characters from it. The only people I own are Fayre, Raja, Gale and his bar, and the village she was from.

Now that that's out of the way, read and review.

-Fayre-

"Bye guys!"

I yelled out as I pulled Kiyomi out with me.

"Bye Fayre, Kiyomi!"

Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari said in unison. I'd asked Kiyomi and Temari to come shopping with me since it was nearing a certain red haired Kazekage's birthday. Temari had to help her brothers with work so only me and Kiyomi were going.

"Come on Ki!"

I yelled as I ran ahead of her through the bustling streets of Suna.

"Slow down Fay, the store isn't going to close before we get there."

She said and I smiled at her and tried to slow down. I'd found the perfect gift for him about a week ago. It was a heart necklace that came in two pieces. It was for a couple to wear. The chain was sterling silver as was the pendant, but what made it so perfect was what the pieces said when put together.

"Come on!"

I yelled as I grabbed Kiyomi's hand and pulled her after me as I ran to the shop. I quickly bought it while she waited by the door. We walked out into the streets and I smiled down at the box in my hands.

"So, let me see."

Kiyomi said and I smiled goofily as I opened the box and pulled out the two necklaces. I laid them in her hand and she smiled down at them before handing them back. The two pieces were fixed together and I smiled at the elegantly engraved writing on the two pieces of heart.

'Forever&Always'

It didn't need to say love considering the words were engraved on a heart, but it was perfect. Now I just had to manage to keep the necklaces hidden from Gaara for the next four days. I slid them into my pocket and disposed of the box as Kiyomi and I headed for the ramen shop a few miles away from the house and the Kazekage tower.

We ate quickly and were on our way back to the house when I noticed something was off. The streets that had been so busy just moments ago were now deserted aside from Kiyomi and myself. I looked around, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

"Where did everybody go?"

I wondered outloud and Kiyomi shrugged.

"I dunno."

She said and I sighed at her helpfulness. I saw something out of the corner of my eye and turned to see what it was, but saw nothing behind us. When I turned back around I noticed we were surrounded. In the blink of an eye one of the people stepped forward and stabbed something into the sides of my neck and everything went black. The last thing I heard was Kiyomi screaming my name.

-Kiyomi-

"Fayre!"

I yelled as one of the black and red clad people stabbed two senbon needles into the sides of her neck, rendering her unconscious and threw her over their shoulder. I glared at the four people infront of me. Fayre had told me about people dressed like these before, she'd said they were Akatsuki members, but she'd killed them.

"Give her back!"

I yelled and charged after the one holding Fayre only to be blocked by the other three.

"Kisame, Deydara, make sure she can't follow."

The one holding Fayre said before he took off with the one wearing an orange mask following close behind. I tried to go after them, but the two men before me stepped towards me. The blonde, who I was guessing was Deydara, drew a kunai and smirked at me while the one with spiky blue-black hair with a face that reminded me of a shark pulled a huge sword off his back.

'This is not going to be good.'

I thought as I prepared myself for their attacks.

-Kankuro-

I suddenly got a very bad feeling and looked up from the paperwork I was helping Gaara with.

"What is it Kankuro?"

Gaara asked and I shook my head.

"I'm not sure, but I have a feeling like something bad is about to happen."

I said as I got up and headed over to the window.

"Like what?"

Temari asked, but I ignored her and looked out over Suna from the window of our house. I noticed that the streets were unusually empty except for three figures. My eyes widened when I noticed that two of those figures were dressed in Akatsuki cloaks, but my heart stopped when I saw the third figure was Kiyomi. I was out of the room and running down the street before either of my siblings could say anything.

I reached Kiyomi just as the two Akatsuki members disappeared. I gathered her in my arms and stared down at her broken and bloody body. She had cuts along her face and arms, deep gashes on her stomach and legs, and I could tell her left arm was broken.

"Kiyomi!"

I yelled and she groaned in my arms. I sighed in relief that she was alive. I gingerly picked her up and hurried back to the house. I laid her down on the couch in the living room as Temari and Gaara came into the room.

"Kankuro, why did you run off like-oh my God!"

Temari gasped when she saw Kiyomi.

"What happened?"

She asked as she walked towards us.

"I don't know. I saw her and two Akatsuki members from the window, when I got to her they were gone and I found her like this. Fayre was no where to be seen."

I said and felt Gaara's chakra flare at that bit of information. Kiyomi groaned and I looked up at her as she opened her eyes.

"Kiyomi!"

I yelled and she coughed as she smiled at me, then frowned and winced.

"What happened?"

I asked and waited as she coughed again.

"Fayre and I were….walking back from a ramen shop when…we were ambushed by four Akatsuki members. One knocked Fayre out with senbon needles and…took her away, then ordered those two to…..make sure I couldn't follow."

She said in between coughs.

"What does the Akatsuki want with Fayre? She doesn't have a beast anymore."

Temari asked, but nobody had an answer to her question.

"Kiyomi, did you notice anything about where they might have gone?"

Gaara asked and I looked at him in shock. Kiyomi had just been attacked, I didn't think now was the time to be asking something like that.

"The one carrying Fayre and another one took off towards the East."

She said and I turned back to her to see her trying to sit up.

"Hey, you shouldn't be moving."

I said and she pushed my hands away.

"No. My friend just got kidnapped, there's no way I'm just going to lie here."

She said and I frowned at her.

"Stay put and heal. Temari, come with me."

Gaara said before leaving the room. Temari cast a worried look back at me and Kiyomi before following after him.

"I'm sorry I couldn't protect her."

Kiyomi said before coughing again.

"It's okay. I'm sure you did your best."

I said as I pushed her back down against the couch. As happy I was that Kiyomi was okay, I couldn't help but worry about Fayre. Just what did the Akatsuki want with her?
