Neji stared at them uncertainly then decided that he couldn’t stand being still, needing to do something, anything, before he lost it as well. He'd gone in search of his car and had brought it around the corner only to slam on the breaks at what he saw. Fortunately, his actions went unnoticed, or else he would be in real trouble. Kyuubi. But the man wasn’t alone. Next to him were two of the most offensive looking individuals he’d ever seen.



If Neji were another person, and this were another situation and his friend’s life weren’t at stake, Neji would seriously check these guys out. One was a rocker with more piercings than was the norm, but he looked incredibly hot with orange hair. The other was a redhead that reminded him a lot of Gaara. His blood boiled in anger at seeing that Kyuubi had brought company with him this time. They had to take drastic measures to make sure that Naruto would be safe. If Kyuubi had seen him he would no doubt try and see if he was with Naruto. Thinking quickly, he got his phone and speed dialed Sasuke. The raven answered on the second ring.



“We’ve got trouble. Naruto is in real danger. Kyuubi is here with people and if he sees me he’ll follow us to your house.” Neji informed the raven in short sentences, his information to the point and with no room for discussions, just directions on what to do. He heard the raven curse vehemently and felt the same way.



“Did he see you?” Sasuke asked in a tight voice, trying to reign in his anger.



“I’m not sure.” He said hesitantly. He could almost feel Sasuke get serious as the raven began making plans. He was made for the military.



“Drive around the block once. If you see him follow you then go straight to the police station and get Kakashi in on this. He has to know. And Iruka would no doubt find out.” Sasuke shivered at the man’s protective mother hen attitude towards the blonde. He couldn’t really blame the older man, but it made Gaara’s possessive protection look like light worry. He continued, thinking quickly, knowing he was also going to have to call Shikamaru.



“We’ll try to head them off Naruto’s trail there. If you see that he’s waiting for you, call me. I’ll go get my car if he follows. If he doesn’t...I’ll think of something.” He ended with a sigh, his brain working overtime as he tried to think of a way to get blonde safely away from the club and far away from Kyuubi.



“Hn.” With that Neji hung up and did as he was told. The raven was a great strategist and tried to cover all the bases, but for the parts that weren’t covered, he knew they would bring Shikamaru in for help.



“What’s going on?” Gaara asked with what could only be worry even though his voice was a beautiful monotone, though at Sasuke’s curse he knew it was nothing good.



“Kyuubi came with company. We have to get Naruto out of here, but Neji doesn’t know if he was being followed or not. I told him to drive around. If he’s being followed he’ll call me. If not, he’ll come pick us up.”



“Shit!” He cursed silently. “What are we going to do if he is being followed?” Gaara demanded, glancing worriedly at the blonde in his arms, his heart tearing at the fearful whimpers that accompanied the nightmares the blonde was no doubt having. Sasuke calculated the possibilities of Kyuubi following Neji and of the others knowing what Sasuke, Gaara and Neji looked like. He also considered the possibility of Kyuubi himself following Neji or staying behind and going to Naruto’s house.



But the bastard was smart. He must know that there was no way Naruto would go home alone after his dear aniki returned. There must be a reason as to why he was doing this. To finish what he had started so long ago? He had to have a plan at getting to Naruto. He must have a connection in the city to have known where Naruto was, or must have paid to find out the information. Sasuke thought of anyone he knew of in the underbelly of the city and could only think of—



“Shit!” Sasuke exclaimed, knowing for a fact that that was what Kyuubi had done.



“What?” Gaara asked, dreading the worst.



“He’s in contact with Orochimaru. That’s how he knew where Naruto was. He probably paid the snake to find out. And if he did, he must know everything about Naruto’s current life.”



“Shit!” The redhead cursed softly, his eyes closing as though to ward off his current reality. He also began connecting dots and realized something he never wanted to know. “He probably also knows who Naruto hangs out with and he must have more people working for him. He must have the city wired. Naruto’s not safe anywhere in the city anymore.”



Gaara fixed a determined look at Sasuke, knowing what had to be done and that they were probably already thinking the same thing anyways. He said aloud what was running through their minds.



“We have to get Naruto far away.” Gaara said their thoughts along the same path.



“Another city, another state, another country if need be. We can’t let him get to Naruto.” Sasuke said, his voice finalizing the conversation and the decision already taken without the blonde’s consent.



Sasuke’s phone rang and he knew it was only more bad news.



“I’m at the police station. Kyuubi didn’t follow. His friends did. Kyuubi is still standing on the other corner in front of the club. He can’t see you in the alley, but I suggest you move and quickly. Call Shikamaru to go pick you up or else you’re screwed.” Neji was smart and had figured out that Kyuubi wasn’t working alone. He hadn’t figured out who Kyuubi was working with, but he knew that the older man had connections in the city and probably knew everything about Naruto’s new life. In a quick decision he formulated a plan.



“I’m going to call Kakashi now. He’ll be coming out of the station soon. We also need to call Iruka.” If anyone cared about Naruto it was Kakashi and the mother hen that was Iruka. Neji hung up before Sasuke could say anything and sat waiting impatiently for the silver haired man to come outside, knowing he could solve this and knew how to get Naruto out of the city; he knew Naruto needed to be taken away and quickly. Neji had dialed Kakashi’s private number; the number they called only when it was an emergency. He waited impatiently for the silver haired man to answer. On the third ring Kakashi answered with a usual disinterested,



“Yo”



“Kakashi. It’s Neji. Naruto’s in trouble. Kyuubi’s back. I’m outside the police station and I need you to come outside.”



Kakashi didn’t answer and Neji heard the line go dead only to see the silver haired man walking towards him a few moments later.



“Where’s Naruto?” The older man asked, going on parental mode faster than Iruka could change moods. Kakashi Hatake was a detective for the NYPD and head of the domestic violence department. His partner, Shikaku Nara was Shikamaru’s father—both of whom knew what had happened to their favorite blonde—had been told of the situation the second Kakashi heard it from Neji. However, being the smart and cool man that he was, he acted calm at all times and didn’t freak out—that was Iruka’s job. And, man would his husband (*coughwifecough*) be frantic when he heard of this. Kakashi strolled to Neji’s side and asked the question as though he had asked what time it was, the worry only showing slightly in his eyes. Quickly viewing his surroundings and seeing that Naruto wasn’t with the brunette, he grew slightly more anxious; however, he didn’t let that show either.



“We were at the club when Kyuubi showed up. We left through the alley, but Gaara, Sasuke and Naruto are still there. Kiba left when Sasuke told him to. He doesn’t know what happened, but he was told to keep quiet and not speak to anyone he didn’t know about Naruto.”



Nodding at the smart move, Kakashi looked at his surroundings once more. It was late fall and a little cold out, the turtle neck he wore covering to his nose, his mismatched eyes like hawks eyes, scanning everything around him and noticing something off. There were no other vehicles around except for a black car with tainted windows halfway down the block.



“Kyuubi followed you?” He asked doubtfully. Surely the man wasn’t that stupid to follow another so boldly.



“No, he stayed behind. Those are his friends. Kyuubi came with people this time. And by the looks of it he’s got connections in the city and probably knows everything about Naruto now. Sasuke will figure what to do. And if not, he’s going to call Shikamaru to go pick him up and help him figure out what to do. We have to get Naruto far away.” Kakashi only nodded at Neji’s explanation, knowing what the brunette said was true.



“You know Naruto won’t agree with this. He’s broken, but he’s not a coward.” He sighed knowing how complicated the blonde was and how stubborn he could be. “Iruka will probably ship him in a box as long as he’s safe.”



“Where were you planning on taking him?” Kakashi asked, seeing the black car pull away. These people weren’t stupid. They probably contacted Kyuubi with what Neji had done and were told to return, figuring out that Naruto was probably still at the club.



“We were going to take him to Sasuke’s house.”



“No. I want you to call Sasuke, now. Your friends just left and I’m assuming they’re on their way back to see Kyuubi.” He picked up his own phone and hit speed dial. It rang once.



“Shikaku, I want you to get Shikamaru to the club Naruto is at right now. Tell them to bring him here to the police station. I want Naruto here in less than 20 minutes.” With that he hung up. Kakashi sighed again. “I’ll call Iruka.” As he called his husband, he heard the other freaking out and demanding to know where Naruto was.



In the mean time Neji called Sasuke, told him of Kakashi’s arrangements and of Kyuubi’s men going back to the club.
