A/N: Whew! I am on a roll lately! I love when I get into writing moods, cause then I am almost always happy and so are the people around me!XD

And now, without further adieu, I present to you Chapter TROIS!!

AkAtSuKi LiNe BrEaK

Right now Naruto was laying on his bed, unable to sleep because of how many things were whirling around in his mind right then.

He was thinking about Konoha and the people who inhabited it. His friends, the people he cared about most, would they come to find him? How long has it been since he was captured? It couldn’t have been more then a week.

He sighed and turned to the picture that the Akatsuki seemed to pack when they were rummaging through his stuff. It was the first picture he and team seven took together. And then in the corner was a smaller picture of the second team seven.

The memories of his past returned and Naruto resisted the urge to cry. It felt like everyone that he came to know and love was now dead to him, empty memories surrounding him. He wanted nothing more then to leave this base and return home. But he couldn’t for the exact same reason. The minute he left without permission, the people in Konoha would be lying in their graves. This just made the horrible feeling in his stomach grow.

He looked over to the clock and silently groaned. It was nearly three thirty in the morning. He got up to his feet and walked over to his chest of drawers, pulling out his old headband. He put it on, hoping to slow down the blood rush in his head. He had no idea where the medicine was in this place.

As he lay back down his stomach churned. Lovely. The last thing he needed was to feel nauseated as well as a headache. He sighed. He really didn’t have any choice but to go across the hall and ask where the medicine was before puking all over the place. The leader probably wouldn’t be too happy about that.

With that though, Naruto got to his feet again and headed to the door carefully. One bad move and his stomach contents could be covering the carpet.

He went across the pitch black hall and knocked on Itachi’s bedroom boor before his legs gave out on him. He was so nauseated that he couldn’t get back up when Itachi came to open the door.

What the red eyed man saw was nothing of what he expected. He fell to the ground and looked at Naruto’s pale white face.

“You need to see the doctor.” He said quickly before picking up the blonde and putting him on his back. He looked to the floor and grimaced. He had thrown up all over the concrete floor. Itachi walked around the stomach acid and fled down the hall at a pace where Naruto couldn’t even tell they were moving.

He hadn’t stopped until they had reached Zetsu’s room, which was deemed the doctors’ office after he got the supplies. He knocked lightly as to not wake up the members in nearby bedrooms- preferably the couple to the right who had sadistic ways of taking care of their awakeners.

Zetsu open the door wide and Itachi placed Naruto on the white bed. Zetsu turned on the dim light as to see what he was doing but not aggravate Naruto’s stomach any more then necessary.

“He was outside of my room sprawled on the floor with stomach juices surrounding him.” Zetsu nodded in understanding and got a towel to clean up the blonde with.

“Looks like he might have a severe case of the stomach flu. He will not allowed to eat or drink anything but water. Go downstairs and tell Hidan to make an injection since anything that goes down his throat will immediately come right back up.” Itachi nodded and dashed out the door, leaving a very pale and sick blonde to lay alone.

After about an hour, Itachi came back in with a needle in hand. He also had some bruise from waking up the Jashin lover at “The lowest fuckin time in all of damn history!”. He handed the needle to Zetsu and took care of his own beating before taking a seat next to the now pinker Naruto.

“With a little luck He’ll be able to eat by tomorrow and completely better in the next couple of days. Now will you take him so I can sleep?” Itachi nodded and took Naruto out of the bed gently as to not wake him up.

He walked to the front of his bedroom only to find the mess completely gone. He’d guessed that Tobi had smelled it and took care of it himself. The brat could be useful if he really wanted to be.

Deeming it better if he stayed in his room, Itachi took Naruto and set him on the other side of his bed. He took off the boys’ headband and tucked him in before taking the same position on the other side. He really was tired. Not once had he gone to bed that night. He was too worried about how Naruto was holding up.

He looked back at the blond and looked at his face. It was tainted a shadier pink then it was when they in Zetsu’s room, but still pale enough to know that the poor boy was sick. Itachi frowned. He did not like the look on his face with the cold sweat and the dark circles. He didn’t know the cause of his worry though.

Why was he worrying about Naruto?

Sasuke was sitting outside of the tents that were set for his teammates and was breaking twigs into sawdust. They had been out searching for Naruto at least three days now, and none of them had any leads. Soon the Hokage would wake up and have no choice but to mark them as missing nin if they didn’t get back in time.

‘Where the hell could he be!?’ He thought angrily to himself. He was mad at himself for letting his brother get a hold on him in the first place. He kept blaming himself for not running after him.

‘I should’ve gone with him, I knew it!’ Sasuke took a huge tree stump and grinded it into sand without a second thought. This was getting on his nerves really bad, and nothing that he did help.

“Sasuke?” The blackette turned towards the sound of his name. Sakura was watching him from inside the tent the whole time and decided it was time to talk about it.

“Sasuke, I know you’re worried about Naruto, but you have to remember who he is. He can make even the most difficult thing look so unbearably easy, just look at what he made of all of our enemies so far. No matter where he is, Sasuke, He’ll be alright. That’s just the kind of person he is,” Sasuke looked at the pink haired ninja stunned. When did she get so fond of the dobe?

“You missed a lot while you were gone, Sasuke. Naruto really is a man now; he hasn’t been a boy in years.” Sasuke looked away and got submerged into his own thoughts again.

“Thanks Sakura.” She nodded and took a seat next to Sasuke.

“Why don’t you go and sleep? I’ll take the next watch.” Sasuke thanked Sakura and headed into the tent. Though he still had a lot on his mind, his body was exhausted and thrived for sleep. It wasn’t long after he got in that he fell into a deep slumber.

Outside, it was Sakura’s turn to think. She knew that the blonde would be safe, but she couldn’t help but wonder about her teammates. She was afraid that Sasuke would somehow break down, and Sai… well, no one ever truly knew about him. She sighed. This was going to be a long night.

Naruto woke up curled in a ball and had the headache from hell. He opened his eyes as the blurry image of seemed to be his room came into vision.

Though, once his eyes were completely open, he had second guesses about where he was. The room was a lot bigger, and the sheets were definitely different. He started to panic, but stopped when it triggered his nausea again.

Just then, the man sleeping beside Naruto looked up. He guessed it was well passed noon if the blonde was awake now. He got up and looked at the somewhat scared and nauseated blonde.

“Don’t worry, Naruto. You came to my room in the middle of the night and threw up. I took you down to Zetsu’s room and he treated you along with Hidan. He said that you should feel better in a couple of days, but for now the only thing your stomach will handle is water.” Naruto looked at Itachi and nodded.

“That still doesn’t explain why I’m in your room, though.” He said.

“I deemed it safer if you in my room instead of alone in yours. Who knows if you might need me again.” Itachi threw off the blankets and put on his Akatsuki cloak. He looked t the clock and saw that it was one thirty.

So I guess I am sworn to the bed until I get better?” Naruto asked in sort of a whiney voice. Itachi nodded.

“That or I have the biggest jet bath hot tub in the lair.” Naruto’s ears perked up. He loved the sound of that.

“Do you want to go check it out?” He asked the blonde. Naruto nodded vigorously and threw off the covers. He did NOT want to miss out on an opportunity of a lifetime!

Itachi motioned in the direction of a door that was on the other end of the room. Naruto happily walked beside him, keeping his eyes in front of him so the first thing he saw was… the twenty people Jacuzzi…

“I am seriously going in THAT!? I’ll be sucked right under!” Naruto went over to the pool sized tub and was flabbergasted. With the jets it would be like a fast running river of death.

Itachi raised an eyebrow. “You’re not going in alone, and I’m certainly not turning the jets up all the way.” Naruto stiffened and his neck tweaked in the direction of the serious blackette.

“Y-you’re c-coming in, t-too?” He asked, more then a little afraid of the answer. When Itachi nodded, the blonde resisted the urge to start digging a hole to Brazil.

“Do you have a problem with me being in my bath tub?” Naruto shook is head as a gloom cloud floated overhead. This was definitely not going to be fun…

Naruto went into one of the more private areas of the bathroom and took off his clothes (A/N: mind OUT of the gutter, peoples!! He has a towel on!!) Itachi had already turned on the water and slid into the tub. Naruto peeked around the corner and nearly had a heart attack.

‘How the hell am I supposed to get in like this!? Wait, why would it matter in the first place? I was at the hot springs with Sasuke and didn’t have this feeling! UGH! My stomach…’ Naruto faced the other way and dry heaved. He decided thinking about the issue would only make his condition worse.

“You know what they say… leap before you think.” And Naruto proceeded to make a fool out of himself.

Chapter three, mes amie!XD I am going to quit working on this until after valentines so that I can get a one-shot for it out of my brain. I also have a bunch of other stories I need to get done and post… (like Naruto’s birthday present and then Klawla’s birthday AND Christmas presents…) so… huzzah!

Reviews are nice, flames are not and PLEASE!!! There have been a lot of people (I won’t mention names) who have ALERTED my story, but haven’t reviewed on it. Please review!!! I don’t care if it’s the stupidest thing in the world; reviews give me the will to write!! Alerts just make me think that it’s boring and dull and people just read it cause they don’t have anything better to do. And that is what makes me the saddest, cause I do try to come up with somewhat new and interesting ideas! Please REVIEW!!!
