Somewhere at Hidden Cloud Village/Country of lightning, a group of five men where chasing a mysterious criminal through out the streets.  Their footsteps splashed through puddles, everything else around them was silent.  They all wore black trench coats and were armed with pistols.  All met back to the middle of the street.  "Any sign?” asked the first man, “Negative,” answered the second man “we haven’t sensed any chakra this time Kudaki”.   

3rd man: She’s learned to move slower in the dark, that we can’t see her. 

4th man: It’s because that she skid through here before.  She can’t run anywhere without that incredible speed. 

Kudaki: No.  She’s here, look.

    Kudaki points up at the electric wires of wooden poles in front of a row of houses.  All looked up and saw tiny sparks of electricity jolting out of the wires.  The sparks soon evolved into lightning, which struck a hole in the pavement a few inches from where they were standing.

5th man: Hang on.  I’ll shoot over there where we can see!  Lightning ball jutsu! *crackle* [Zwooooomf!!] *crash*

     Just when the dust cleared up, there appeared to be no one on top of the house that they shot at. Suddenly, a struck of lightning appeared once more from behind.  “Over there!” yelled the fourth man pointing at another house behind, there they saw a black shadowy figure of a girl looking down at them. 

Kudaki: Quick!  Catch her!

3rd man: Stand back!  I’ll make sure to keep this target in my range this time...

  The 3rd man uses a jutsu to sense the girl's chakra, by magnetizing it.  He dragged the her in the air, but she hits him with raging bolts of lightning, slightly electrocuing him.

3rd man: Dammit!!  She took me down, and I just had her in my range!

  The girl suddenly landed to the ground and stood right in front of the men.  The second man walked up to her and got his pistol ready.

2nd man: This is the last time you’ll ever get away!

Then all the men started taking out their pistols.

5th man: It’s over now.  We’re taking you with us, back where you belong.

    The girl looked down, reached out her arms, then the guns floated in midair and grabbed them all, aiming them strait at the men.  They backed up, and she zipped away super fast, leaving nothing but a bright purple streak.  Then she ran strait up a building, and the men jumped after her.  Once they got to the roof though, there seemed to be no one there.

4th man:  The little speed demon is too clever for us.

Kudaki: Not clever enough.  Anybody that escapes always leaves a clue for someone to track them down.

  Kudaki analyzed the cracks left by the girl, then followed where they led to and noticed the marks stopped at the right edge of the roof. 

Kudaki: Hmm, right there! She must have jumped off this side of the building, but wanted us to think she jumped off north so she could escape from the right.

2nd man: Look out!  Behind you!

    Kudaki turns his head in a sudden movement and sees the girl standing there and shoots his pistol at her.  The girl just stood there and caught the bullet with her hand, and storms out again, this time leaving Kudaki a bleeding cut on his arm.

5th man: She’s headed strait for the main gate!

And at her fastest, the girl disappeared going through the main gate.

2nd man: Great!  Now we’ll have to go across all the nations looking for her.

Kudaki: Don’t worry, by now every village ought to know her face.  She’d never find any refuge wherever she’s hiding.  After all, she’s one of the most wanted criminals in all the five shinobi nations. 

Kisame: We didn’t capture the bijuu you asked for, Pein sir, we figured we could catch the eight-tails first as you agreed on letting us do so.  

Pein: You mean to tell me you still have TWO bijuu on the run?!

Kisame: Uh—maybe you should tell them Itachi, you’re better at explaining this stuff than I do.  *takes step back behind Itachi*

Itachi: Well, before me and Kisame had gone to set out for the eight-tails, we thought to let Group 2 take care of the Kyuubi.

Konan (blue haired woman): What about the eight-tails then? 

Kisame: Zetsu said it’s at an unknown location, I’m sure Group 2 will succeed, if they have a chance.

Pein: Let’s just hope they won’t fail this time.... 

     Meanwhile in Konoha, were two other Akatsuki members, one had black spiky hair and an orange mask with a spiral design, the other with long blond hair in a ponytail and a mouth on the palm of each of his hands.  “Hey Deidara-senpai!” said the orange-masked member “I was thinking, since we’ve been walking for a while, do ya’ think maybe we could stop and take a little break?  My feet are all sore.”

Deidara: Why should we Tobi?  We haven’t caught any bijuu, so how do expect us to tell Leader-sama when we get back, un?

Tobi: I don’t know.  Let’s say we lost it! Deidara: ‘-_-  Fine, how’s about a drink?  It’d be the only thing to keep my mind off this.

A few seconds later in the bar....

Bar tender: Hey, you fellas need an extra energy boost? You look like you’ve been working you’re tails off from whatever you’d be doin’.

Deidara: Actually, me and my partner are just--

Tobi (talking loudly): YOU BET!  We’ve been walking for like a very long time, you see our boss told us to come here to go find—

  Before Tobi could say anything else, Deidara slammed Tobi’s head face-down onto the bar table, and kept holding it down as he finally spoke up.

Deidara:  We’re just taking a little breather for a while, un.  One drink and then we’ll be on our way, hm.

  Then Deidara let go of Tobi’s head when he was finished speaking to the bar tender.

Tobi: Hey, what did you do that for?! D:

Deidara: *grabs Tobi by his uniform* We’re still on a mission here.  If you’d remember more carefully, we’ve got to make sure we don’t alert anyone else, even if some ninjas already know about it.  Otherwise the whole world will know about the Akatsuki and their plans.

     Meanwhile, across from Deidara and Tobi, a strange man with a thin mustache, in an overcoat and small, circular sunglasses had overheard them talking.

Bar tender: Alright now, what would you be craving for today?

Deidara: What?!

Bar tender: What would you like to drink?

Deidara: Oh.  Well, hm—I’d like some whiskey if you may, un.

Bar tender: Okay, and what about you Spirals?

Tobi: One diet coke please, sir!  ^-^

Bar tender: Sorry, we don’t have any coke, anything else you might want?

Tobi: Sure, um, root beer float would be nice. Bar tender: ‘Kay.  Here you go, one root beer float.

Tobi: Oh boy, thanks! *slurps*

Bar tender: And one whiskey.

     The strange man sitting across from the two ninjas stared at them with a confused look of suspicion on his face.  He begins to notice the bolts and pins nailed into Tobi’s black armor, and the mouths on Deidara’s palms, then he took a brief look at their uniforms (black robes with red clouds, of course).  Deidara then glanced over his shoulder a little and saw, but the man quickly looked away after a few seconds.

Tobi: What’s the matter senpai?

Deidara: Nothing.  Just, don’t mind it.

     Tobi bends over a little, trying to look behind his partner and the man there looks up and glares at him.  Tobi sees a Dr. Pepper slowly moving by itself, without anyone else noticing, then squints through his orange mask and discovers a mechanical hand hiding in the sleeve of the man’s trench coat.

Tobi (in his thoughts): A magnetic hand......

Deidara: Tobi!

Tobi: HUH?!  *looks back at Dei*

Deidara: Let’s capture that bijuu.
