Me: Sorry for the wait again. At least it wasn't as long as the last... or was it? I don't remember anymore.

Sasuke: That's sort of mean...

Me: Oh shut up!

Naruto: You know she's not in a good mood Sasu.

Sasuke: ((Smirks)) I know.

Me: ((Rolls eyes)) Again sorry, and I really do mean it. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Here We Go Again: Chapter 4

"Hey Naruto and Sasuke, we're in town for the next few days. We were hoping we all could have dinner tonight. Of course Itachi and Deidara are invited too. We haven't seen them in a while. I was thinking Niko's Cafe for dinner? If you have another place you like better that's fine to. Well, call back soon. See you later. Bye." Naruto pulled the slim phone from his ear and snapped it shut.

"Kat and Pain are in town. They want to have dinner here tonight." Naruto informed the man who sat across from him. They hadn't noticed the phone was vibrating until it was too late to answer. So they both had to wait for Kat to leave a voice mail to find out what they wanted. A scowl formed over Sasuke's lips and Naruto frowned at him.

"What's the matter now?" Naruto asked as he pushed a lock of blond hair out from his eyes. Sasuke looked away, his dark eyes looking out the window of the restaurant they were in. They were sitting in front of a large window that took up most of the wall. It had gold trimmings along the window seal and the scene out the window was of a beautiful garden. The garden had a small waterfall in the middle and surrounding it was too many flowers of different colors to count. No one but the gardener was allowed out there, but that was why it was kept so lovely. No one to go out there during the day or night and mess around. Sasuke looked back over to his worried boyfriend, a small smile slipped onto the pale face.

"Nothing, I was just hoping to have you to myself tonight." Sasuke said. They may have had a little fun this morning, but he was hoping to finally break in their new bed tonight. With a sigh, Sasuke pushed that thought from his mind. If they had dinner with everyone Naruto would be too tired to want to do anything. Naruto gave a small chuckle, and that snapped Sasuke out of his thoughts.

"We have a room all to ourselves, we'll have plenty of time to be alone. We haven't seen Kat and Pain for some time now." Naruto said with a playful smile. Sasuke snorted and picked up his glass of water.

"People are going to think we are obsessed with this place if we come back tonight." Sasuke said before placing the glass against his lips and taking a sip from it. Naruto laughed at this, he had to bring his hand up to cover his mouth to keep from laughing too loud.

"I'm sure the owners wouldn't mind. And the waiters will be too interested in our tip to think about such things like that. Plus, everyone here loves us already, I highly doubt they will think differently of us just because we come for dinner too." Naruto said and then popped the last bit of his chicken into his mouth. Sasuke snorted again.

"Everyone here loves you, they think I'm a stuck up jackass." Sasuke said. Naruto almost lost his chicken, but swallowed it down before laughing again.

"But you are." Naruto said and then winced when he felt Sasuke kick him in the shin from underneath the table. "Hey." The blond whined at him. Sasuke just smirked at him. Naruto glared, he was just thinking of retaliating when the waiter walked up to their table. Sasuke scowled up at him, that was another thing he didn't like about this place. The waiter was almost always the same, and he seemed to have a thing for Naruto. Not that Sasuke could really blame the guy, but it still peeved him. The waiter had long blond hair that was neatly combed back into a low pony tail. The end of the pony tail was placed gently over his right shoulder. His bright green eyes stared at Naruto only, completely and utterly ignoring Sasuke. The waiter was dressed in a pair of nicely pressed black dress pants with a while long sleeved button up shirt. Over top of the shirt was a black vest that all the waiters and waitresses had to wear. The man had a smile on his face, and Sasuke knew that he knew that he was handsome. It was fairly annoying to see the guy 'try' to flirt with Naruto, but he knew that his blond would never look at the waiter with anything less than friendship.

"Here's your bill, Mr. Uzumaki." His voice took on a more seductive tone. It made Sasuke's left eyebrow twitch and he could see a playful smile forming on Naruto's lips when the blond noticed Sasuke's little twitch. Naruto's blue eyes went back to their waiter and he gave the man a gentle smile.

"Please Mike, just call me Naruto. Mr. Uzumaki just sounds too formal." Naruto said as Mike the waiter placed the bill on the table near Naruto. Mike smiled deeply.

"Okay, Naruto." He said and Sasuke's eyebrow twitched again. Naruto almost chuckled, but was able to hold in his laughter. He just smiled up at Mike.

"Thank you for waiting on us again. Now, Sasuke and I need to get back." Naruto said and stood taking the bill with him. Sasuke smirked at Mike, whose eyes finally glanced over to Sasuke.

"Of course. See you around." Mike said before taking his leave. Sasuke snorted before he stood and followed Naruto to the front desk. Naruto paid, though it now it wasn't the matter who paid since the money belonged to both. Naruto was able to access Sasuke's bank and Sasuke the same for Naruto's bank. So, it was just the matter on who was given the check when they ate out. Sasuke stood near the front doors as he waited for Naruto to finish paying and tipping Mike for his hard work. Once that was taken care of, Naruto turned and headed for Sasuke. Sasuke's arm came up and dropped over the blonds' shoulders and they both walked out of the cafe together.

"Your eyebrow was twitching again." Naruto said with a chuckle once they were out of the building. Sasuke glared down at his blond.

"And Mike was flirting with you again." Sasuke hissed out. It was the blonde's turn to roll his eyes.

"On come on. He's a nice guy, and he knows that we're dating." Naruto said with a sigh. It was clear that he'd said it before and knew he'd say it again. Sasuke went to say something he blinked and then scowled. Naruto raised his eyebrows at him and then smiled slightly when the blond saw him pull out the black cell phone. Sasuke flipped it open and irritably shoved it to his ear.

"Yes." Even his voice sounded irritated.

"Is that any way to speak to your brother, Sasuke?" Came Itachi's smooth voice from the other end. Sasuke froze a bit.

"I didn't know it was you." He said with a sigh.

"Is that how you answer the phone now?" Itachi asked. Sasuke sighed heavily this time.

"No, no it's not." Out of his eye Sasuke could see Naruto struggling not to laugh. The blond obviously knew who was on the other end. Itachi gave a small chuckle.

"Well, I do have some bad news." Itachi said with a suddenly serious voice. Sasuke froze and his eyes went to Naruto.

"Yeah?" Sasuke asked.

"Why don't you put it on speaker so that Naruto can hear this as well." Itachi said. Sasuke sighed a little.

"Can't this wait until tonight. We're going to have dinner with Kat and Pain. You are invited." Sasuke said. His voice sounding a tad bit irritated. Naruto frowned at him, wondering what Itachi was saying.

"No, this can't wait. Just do it Sasuke." Itachi said.

"Okay, hold on. Let us get in the car." Sasuke said with a frown, grabbed Naruto's hand and led him to the car. Itachi stayed silent through the whole thing. When they were seated inside the car and the phone was held between the two, Sasuke his the speaker button on the phone.

"Alright, tell us." Sasuke said. There was a heavy sigh on the other side of the phone and both Sasuke and Naruto frowned at the object.

"Ashley escaped from the mental hospital. No one knows how or why, but she was suddenly gone this morning. Of course every police station has been notified already, and there will be a broadcast on the news of course. But, I thought I'd tell you so that you could keep an eye out. If you see her, call me." Itachi explained. Naruto blinked.

"Ashley?" The blond questioned and Sasuke just chuckled slightly.

"We will Itachi, thank you for warning us. We'll see you at dinner then?" Sasuke asked while Naruto looked up at the roof of the car and thought about who Ashley was. He had a dumbfounded look on his face that it took all of Sasuke's will power to keep from laughing out loud.

"Sure. Deidara and I will be there. Where are we meeting?" Itachi asked.

"Niko's Cafe. I'll text you about the time." Sasuke said back, still holding back laughter as Naruto hadn't figured out who Ashley was yet.

"Fine. Goodbye." Itachi said and the other end of the line clicked. Sasuke flipped the phone shut and looked to Naruto. Naruto blinked and looked to Sasuke, and then his eyes filled with remembrance. Sasuke smirked at him.

"Ashley! That's the crazy chick from before right?" Naruto asked, though he knew he was right. Sasuke chuckled lightly.

"The crazy obsessed chick who tried to kill you, yeah that's her." Sasuke said. Naruto sighed.

"Oh well, it's not like she's really a threat. I mean, she only got to me because I was still not over what Kyuubi did to me. She won't be a threat now, we'll just turn her into the police the moment we see her, if we see her that is." Naruto said. He seemed oddly relaxed for someone who had been tortured by her. Though mainly she tortured him by making him relive painful memories. But Naruto was right, what harm could a crazy girl do when she had nothing to hold over the blonds' head.

"Yeah, I guess your right. I think Itachi thought she was more of threat to you than he realizes." Sasuke informed the blond. Naruto smiled.

"Itachi's just looking out for us, that's all." Naruto said. It was nice, to have someone look out for him. Though it had been like that for two years now, it still moved a part of him when he realized that was the case. Sasuke scuffed before starting the engine. He wasn't going to comment on Naruto's theory since it seemed to make the blond happy. Instead he turned the car on and began to drive out of the parking lot while Naruto continued to think whatever was going on in his mind.

"So, seven? That sound good?" Kat's voice floated through the phone. Naruto smiled as he leaned against Sasuke. They were currently sitting in a park near the college campus, but far enough away to be alone. They sat against a tree far enough away from the walkway used for people to notice them.

"Yeah, seven sounds fine Kat. See you there." Naruto said back.

"Bye Naru-Chan." She said and the line went dead. Naruto shut the phone and headed it back to Sasuke, who quickly sent the time in a text to Itachi before putting the phone away. He had to sit up just slightly to put the phone back into his pocket, but after a minute they were back into a comfortable position against the large tree.

"It'll be nice..." Naruto started to say. Sasuke just hummed at him. "To see Kat and Pain again. Its been a little while." He added. Sasuke pressed his lips against the back of the blonds' hair.

"We saw them over the summer... It's only been a month or so." Sasuke said. Naruto pouted and glanced back at him.

"You're being mean, S'uke." Naruto said. Sasuke leaned forward and attached his lips to Naruto's neck. The blond froze a bit before he relaxed against the other and let Sasuke ravish his neck. Naruto kept in his moans as Sasuke lightly kissed up and down the side of his neck. He didn't want any little kid wondering near them to hear anything.

"Hmm... Sasuke... if someone..." Naruto tried to get out but Sasuke decided to bite down on the side of his neck. Naruto's nails bit into Sasuke's arm to keep from yelling out in pain and pleasure. Sasuke licked the wound slowly before sucking deeply on it, a bright pink hickey had already started to form.

"Possessive bastard." Naruto mumbled when Sasuke released his neck and leaned back against the tree, letting Naruto lean against his body once again. The Uchiha gave Naruto a deep chuckle before placing a light kiss on the back of his head.

"And if I wasn't, you never would have let me close to you." Sasuke whispered softly into the other's ear. Naruto let a soft sigh out and leaned closer against the Uchiha.

"Yeah..." Naruto said softly. It was so softly that if Sasuke's full attention hadn't been on Naruto, he'd never would have heard him. A small
smile slid onto his pale face and another kiss was placed on the back of Naruto's head.

"I love you Naruto." Sasuke whispered before placing a kiss below Naruto's ear. Naruto gave a small shiver, his ears were even more sensitive
than his stomach. Sasuke smirked at the reaction while Naruto smiled and snuggled into Sasuke's lap and clutched at the other's shirt. He turned his body
so that one ear could listen to Sasuke's heart beat it's steady rhythm.

"I love you too, Sasuke." Naruto whispered back and let his eyes shut as he the rhythm of the Uchiha's heart drugged him under. Sasuke let his hand run through Naruto's hair as they sat under the tree. Neither had class until tomorrow. It was the only day of the week that they only had one class, every other day they either had two or sometimes three classes. Sasuke watched Naruto drift softly into a quiet dream. He felt a frown twitch at his face when he wondered why Naruto was so tired. Was it because he didn't like the dorms or was it something else? If it was something else, then why was Naru being tight lipped about it? Was the blond trying to protect him, or was he just worrying about the situation too much. Sasuke's hand continued to run through the blonde's hair as he listened to the other's breathing become a slow steady rhythm. Natural red highlight played thought the blonde's hair and Sasuke watched in wonder as he shifted a piece of hair here and there to see how his blond hair turned to a light shade of red.

Sasuke's mind went back to what Itachi had told them earlier. He knew Itachi thought Ashley was a threat to Naruto. The fact that Naruto doesn't just means the blond thinks she's still the say obsessed girl he'd known back then. But Sasuke, and Itachi, knew that anyone can change a lot in just two years. They could become more innocent, or they could become very dangerous to their obsession. The fact that Ashley was able to escape kept crossing his mind. As the Uchiha continued to pet his boyfriend, he kept thinking about how Ashley could possibly get out of an mental institution on her own. She was sneaky, they all knew that, but as did the guards at the institution, so how did she pass by their eyes? It couldn't have been possible and Itachi knew that. That was why Itachi had called and warned them, something was up again, and Itachi knew it. And Sasuke would bet most of what he had that, that was why Kat and Pain were coming down. To take a look at the campus, check out the students and the professors. Of course, he knew they could have just wanted to come down and see them, but that couldn't just the be the case now. Not that Ashley was out. So, Sasuke would bet everything he had that something was once again being planned while they attended college.

Sasuke sighed heavily and whispered to no one. "Why can't we just live in peace?"

Sasuke gave a sigh before he flipped his phone closed and placed it back in his pocket. With other sigh as his eyes looked over to the table that held three people, he walked back to the table. Kat hadn't really changed much, her brown hair was still layered and cut to frame around her face. She had half of her hair pulled up into a pony tail while they rest laid against her neck and just above her shoulders. She left her bangs down and they surrounded her face evenly on both sides of her face. She'd gotten a tan over the summer and it complimented her light blue eyes, making them almost the same shade of blue as Naruto's. Her black and red clouded, with a small silver bell, necklace was still around her neck. Sasuke wondered if she ever took it off. She had on a nice brown blouse with a same shade of brown skirt that had light blue flower patterns sewn into it. Her legs were crossed under the table, her black booted foot tapped lightly as she listened to Naruto speak.

Unlike Kat, Pain was a bit different from the first time they had met him. His dirty blond hair had grown out and he had to pull it back into a low pony tail to keep it out of his face. He still had the piercings all of his face, but with the longer hair it didn't look as scary. His dull red eyes kept flickering between Kat, Naruto, and Sasuke. He too had gotten a tan from the summer sun, and if Sasuke was right he could see a bit of red peeking out from under the white cotton shirt he had on. His black jacket was laid over the back of the chair he sat in. He had on a pair of black, firmly pressed, dress pants. On him and the piercings it looked odd, but alright for dinner. He too wore black boots, Sasuke was sure that Akatsuki just bought a bunch of black boots and went with it.

Naruto and Sasuke had ran back to the dorm room to change. Naruto had on an orange top with a pair of black slacks like Pain's. Sasuke changed into a white dress shirt with a pair of dark blue jeans. He didn't understand the need to dress up completely for dinner with them, but he put the white dress shirt on for Naruto. Sasuke gave a short nod to Pain as he took a seat beside Naruto. Naruto gave him a blinding smile, and Sasuke let a small smile flash on his face in return, but when he turned to look back at Pain and Kat his smile was already gone.

"Itachi and Deidara are running late, they will be here soon." Sasuke informed them. Kat gave him a sigh.

"Sasuke, when are you going to stop being so... formal to us. Seriously, we're like family." Kat said. Naruto gave a laugh and Kat looked over at him.

"That's not going to get him to lighten up. He's like that with his own brother, who is technically family." Naruto told her. Kat smiled.

"Guess they are alike in many ways, huh?" She said with a small wink before her eyes went back to Sasuke.
"So, why are they late." Sasuke's eyebrow had twitched a bit during their little conversation, but he became blank faced the moment Kat's eyes were on him. He gave a small shrug at him.

"Deidara had to finish a few things up at his work, Itachi waited for him to finish." Sasuke explained. Kat smiled slightly.

"Deidara is really passionate about his work, isn't he?" She wondered out loud. Naruto did laugh this time.

"Passionate, more like obsessed." Naruto said after he had finished laughing. Kat's smile widened.

"Aw, Naruto. Some could say that to anyone who likes their work. One day we might be having the same conversation about you." Kat said with another laugh and Naruto shot her a dirty look. Sasuke glanced at Pain, who was still sitting silent and flickering his eyes between the three of them. Pain's eyes went to Naruto and stayed there until the blue eyes were on him.

"Did Itachi tell you that Ashley had broken out?" Pain asked in an emotionless voice. Sasuke's eyes narrowed, Pain thought there was something more to Ashley's break out then meets the eye, why else would he be asking a question he already knew the answer of? Naruto blinked before smiling softly at him.

"Of course, Itachi called this afternoon about it. I don't see the big threat, she has nothing over me anymore." Naruto told him. Pain gave him a smile and a nod.

"I was just making sure you were told, that's all Naru." Pain told him, his eyes glancing over to Sasuke before he smiling slightly at the blond again. Naruto grinned at him.

"How long are you guys in town for?" Naruto asked. Pain blinked at the sudden topic change, but his smile never faltered.

"Not long, we have to get back to work in a week or two." Pain told him. Naruto frowned at him.

"Really? That sucks, we'll have to hang out again soon." Naruto said. Pain smiled at him, as did Kat.

"Of course." Sasuke's eyebrow twitched a bit. Even if Pain and Kat were together Sasuke was still paranoid of Pain around Naruto. He couldn't help feeling that after what happened when and a little bit after they first met. One of Sasuke's hand fell from the table and took Naruto's hand. Naruto's eyes flickered over to him and the blond smiled brightly at him before turning his attention back to Pain. Pain raised an eyebrow at Sasuke, but remained silent, though a small smirk did spread its way onto his lips.

---------Itachi & Deidara----------------

"Deidara we're going to be later than I told Sasuke, come on." Itachi said impatiently to the blond who was fussing over a few things on a very messy desk. Deidara looked up at and stuck his tongue out before shoving a few things around, grabbed the black jacket from off the wooden chair and hurried toward the older Uchiha. Deidara had changed earlier. He had on a light blue dress shirt with a pair of black dress pants and his black running shoes. His blond hair was pulled back up into a high pony tail, even his bangs were, leaving his face clear from any hair. His green eyes dull from the lack of sleep the man had gotten over the past few days. Itachi's hand rested on the small of Deidara's back as the Uchiha led the blond out. Itachi's hair was left down for the night, his black hair fell around his shoulders and framed his face. He had on a blood red long sleeved dress shirt with a pair of black jeans with a pair of black boots.

"I know Itachi, but I just had to finish a few things up for the showing tomorrow evening." Deidara stated again, he'd told the man a few moments ago. Itachi smiled and opened the door for the blond.

"I just hate being late for things." Itachi mumbled under his breath. Deidara laughed lightly before leaning against Itachi as they walked down the road toward the car. They had to park almost a whole block away from the office because the road was so crowded. It was just that time of year were everyone is working on something big.

"I know that." Deidara whispered to him. "It's why I like being late." He added. Itachi scowled at him and Deidara laughed and leaned further against the man. Itachi slid his hand onto his hip and his thumb rubbed underneath the shirt and against the blond man's tan skin. Deidara smiled at Itachi
as they rounded the corner, his green eyes looked forward, searching for their car. It was then that Deidara froze and his eyes widened. Standing down the road near an ally was a tall red head. His red hair fell around his ears and curled slightly. Dark eyes stared with hate at Itachi before pulling up to stare into the frightened blonds' eyes. The man smirked before slipping into the alley and disappeared into the shadows. Itachi had stopped with Deidara and frowned down at the blond. Deidara's mouth was open slightly, his eyes widened, all sleep suddenly gone from them replaced with fear. Itachi's eyes narrowed and he turned to look to where his blond was looking. There was nothing there but the empty cars and the deserted side walk. Itachi frowned even more.

"What's the matter Dei?" Itachi finally questioned. Deidara jumped at Itachi's voice, as if the blond had forgotten the Uchiha was there. Itachi's eyes narrowed in suspicion. Deidara fell against him, and Itachi had to wrap both of his arms around the blond to keep him from falling.

"Deidara!" Itachi's voice sounded suddenly frightened for the man as he held the blond against his chest. Deidara took a deep breath and slowly pulled away from Itachi, but kept close to feel safe. Deidara glanced back over towards the ally, but no one was standing there anymore. No piercing dark eyes staring with hate at them. Deidara sighed and looked back to Itachi.

"I thought..." He paused and Itachi raised both his eyebrows at the blond. "I thought I saw Sasori." Deidara told her. Itachi stiffened and he looked back to the area Deidara had been staring.

"I didn't see anything, but that doesn't mean you didn't see him." Itachi slipped his hand into Deidara's. "Let's get to Pain and Kat, maybe they'll have news on Sasori that I don't know about." Deidara slowly nodded at him, his eyes still haunted with fear and flickered towards the ally once more. Itachi slid his finger along Deidara's jaw and titled the blonde's head to face him. Deidara's wide eyes looked into Itachi's soul sucking eyes. Itachi smiled at him and then placed his lips softly against the other's.

"I will never let that man near you Dei, I promise you that." Itachi told him when their lips left each other's. Deidara let a sigh of relief pass his lips before hugging Itachi tightly. Itachi wrapped her arms around Deidara and let his eyes glance over towards the alley that Sasori had been standing near. He glared at the spot, but he held just as tightly onto the other as Deidara was holding onto him. After a minute Deidara pulled away only far enough to look at Itachi. Itachi looked down at him and gave him an encouraging smile.

"Let's get to dinner." Itachi said and they started walking slowly down the street, luckily their car was across the street and far away from the ally. But that didn't stop Itachi from staring that way as Deidara started the car.

~Suna Mental Institution~

Ashley sat humming a small tone as she saw on her bed. She no longer had the long bleach blond hair from before, but short light brown hair. Her brown eyes were glossy with whatever medicine they had her on. She hated it, it always made her feel happy and forget a lot of different things. Like she was flying or something. Though right now, she was in that flying feeling or just starting to come off it. She had on a ugly green dress that came down to her ankles. The humming slowed to a stop as she shut her eyes and drifted slightly. It wasn't long until her eyes were back open, her door was being opened. She could hear the keys dangling while the locks turned so that the door could be opened with out knocking it down. She blinked her eyes as she sat up to looked at the door, wondering who would be visiting her. Her parents hadn't come to see her, and she highly doubt it was them. She'd already had her medicine for the evening, and dinner. So, what else was there that would involve coming to visit her?

The man who walked through the door wasn't anyone she had ever met before. The man had long gray hair that was pulled back into a low pony tail, a few shorter bangs fell around his face and over large round glasses. His gray eyes were that of a leader and held no emotion when they landed on her. He was dressed in a white doctor's coat over a pair of gray pants and a white shirt. His army boots made a small thud sound as he walked into the room. One other person stood outside the room, by the door as if she were a guard. From what Ashley could tell, the girl had dark red hair, but it was pulled up into a bun on top of her head. She too also wore a white doctor coat. The girl was turned away so Ashley couldn't see anymore than that, so her eyes went back to the man who had walked in. He still looked emotionless as he looked at her, she felt herself edge herself against the wall, not wanting him to get close. He smirked down at her and she felt her angry rise through the medication.

"Miss Carson. Ashley Carson?" He asked. His voice was smooth and gentle, but his face still gave nothing away as to what his intentions were. Ashley slowed nodded and the man smirked even more.

"I'm Kabuto, and we're here to get you out of here. Now, lets go." Kabuto smirked even more when Ashley's eyes widened as she tried to get her mind around what he had just said. Kabuto didn't allow her much time, he took two steps forward and pulled her off the bed and into a standing position.

"Hey!" Ashley complained after the dizzy spell quickly wore away. Her medication always made her loopy, reason why she was sitting rather than standing. Kabuto sighed.

"You want a chance at Naruto Uzumaki again?" He asked and if anyone really knew Kabuto they would have known he was not pleased about this at all. But Ashley just stared at him for a second before smiling and gave another slow nod. Kabuto nodded and grabbed her arm again, just above her elbow. She wanted to pull away, but he merely tightened his grip.

"We have to pretend to get out of here, just for a few hallways and then we're in the clear. Now come on before security finds us." Kabuto sneered at her before steering her out of the room. Ashley was about to complain about her stuff, but then she remembered that she had no real stuff to complain about. So, she let Kabuto drag her out of the room and down the hall. The girl by the door fell in step, and Ashley got a good look at her face. Her eyes were dark red, just like her hair. She was pale, with a skin tight black shirt underneath the white coat and a red skirt. Both of which showed off the nice curves and large breasts she had.

"Who is she?" Ashley whispered softly, she knew being quiet was the best thing right now. Kabuto glanced at her and then back at the girl before they rounded another corner.

"Karin." That's all he said. The girl winked at her and Ashley shivered slightly. From then on she kept her eyes forward the rest of the time. They rounded a few more corners, never running into anyone. Ashley wondered why she had never been able to sneak out before. They finally went through the laundry room, no one was there either. Ashley let her eyes glance towards Kabuto, he must have gotten all the times people were working and when the best time to get her out would be. Someone had gone through a lot of trouble to get her out, but who? Was it Kabuto? No, she figured he was merely a tool in whatever bigger plan was going on. They went through the room and out the back door where a large white van was parked. As they got closer to the van, the side door slid open and another man sat inside. Kabuto shoved Ashley in and the man caught her. Ashley would have yelled out, but again she knew if she wanted a chance at freedom, she had to keep her mouth shut. The man had shoulder length white hair with pale gray eyes. From the muscles that were flexed, Ashley could tell the man was well built.

"You can let go of her now Suigetsu." Karin said as she climbed into the van and slammed the door shut. Ashley heard the passenger door open and shut and then the van started to move forward. Ashley looked up at Suigetsu as he pulled away from her.

"Everything go as planned?" He asked, his eyes going to Karin. Karin smirked.

"Pretty easy, they should have better security." Karin said as she made herself comfortable. Ashley looked towards Kabuto.

"Where's Naruto?" She asked.

"In College." It was Karin who had answered and that brought Ashley's attention to her. Ashley smiled slightly.

"Fun."
