D: Here I am again, world!

K: Yay, you're back!

A: We missed you, even if I was only in the last chapter. So what's in store for us in this story?

D: Lot's of action, maybe some romance and I'm hoping for a splash of humor, too. Does that sound like a recipe for disaster or what?

K and A: Or what.

D: Really? I was thinking it was disaster, but I guess you'll have to wait and see! So, who wants to do the disclaimer? I'm kind of tired of doing it.

K and A: Not me!

D: Fine. I *short pause* call on Hidan!

H: What?

D: Do the disclaimer. Don't worry, you don't have to tell everyone how awesome I am, they already know :D

H: She doesn't own Naruto. Or Gaara. Or me, for that matter, I'm f***ing out of here. *Storms out*

D: It was nice to see you, too, Hidan! *Waves after him until he's out of sight* Ah, he's a nice guy, don't you think?

*K and A stare at me blankly*

K: He nearly killed you. Does that mean anything to you?

D: Not really, considering I'm alive right now.

A: Can we get on with the story? I think you're boring the audience.

D: Fine, enjoy. Oh, and everything will be in my POV unless specified by me.

Chapter 1:

Summoning:

Tow Years Later (after the first book/story)

"Kye, are you almost done in there?" I asked. Kye wanted to play dress up with me and Akito, but Akito didn't feel like it, and, as and eighteen year old, I told Kye it felt rather childish of me to play such silly games. I told her that if she was going to do it, not to dress up like a princess or a fairy or, God forbid, both. She was, after all, eighteen just like me.

"Almost," she called from the bathroom. "Promise me one thing?"

"What?" I asked.

"Don't take any pictures or videos," she replied.

"Okay." Too late for that. I had already set up a camcorder on a tripod and I had a still camera at the ready.

The bathroom door opened slowly, and I pressed record on the camcorder and prepared to take pictures.

"Hey!" She yelled when she saw the flash. "I asked you not to do that!"

"Wow, Kye," I said. "You look like a hooker." She had on a really short and super low cut off white dress, and she wore really high black hooker shoes (for the record, and I quote from Kye, she would never wear this).

"Yeah, and that's why I asked for no pictures or videos," she said.

"Aw, but I was doing this incase we saw Itachi again," I said.

"Oh, well, if it's just Itachi," she said. "Wait, no, that's not okay, I don't want to think of me as a hooker! But wait, I thought you weren't going to dress up." She was me wearing a black mini skirt with a black low cut tank top, and three-inch platform shoes.

"I'm not as dressed up as you, but I was waiting for a while so I decided to put on something completely and totally impractical," I explained.

"You guys almost done up there?" Akito asked.

"Come on, I'll leave the cameras up here," said. We walked downstairs and were met with a gasp from our fourteen year old friend.

"What on Earth are you wearing?" She asked in horror. "Kye, you look like a hooker!"

"What, no comment about me?" I asked sarcastically.

"You look relatively normal next to her," Akito said. We stood in a circle staring at each other when this weird feeling came over us. A feeling as if we were being summoned somewhere against our will. There was a loud pop/explosion sound, and then there was smoke clearing around us. Before I knew what was happening, Kye and I were being embraced by a strong girl.

"Darcy, Kye, it's been so long, I've missed you guys!

"Sakura, is that you?" I asked. She let go of us smiling. "Sakura! But wait, what are we doing here?"

"Well, that's for Lady Tsunade to explain to you," she said. I looked around to see we were standing in one of the training grounds, the one Kakashi Sensei tested team seven in, if I'm correct. The posts were behind us, and the lake behind them. In front of us, Sakura was rejoining Naruto, Sai and Kakashi Sensei, who stood off to the left. To the right stood Shikaku, Shikamaru, Ino and Choji, and then in the middle of the two groups stood Tsunade.

"Now, before I explain anything, who's the extra?" Tsunade asked.

"I'm Akito, Kelsey's my cousin," she explained. "And my chakra type is lightning!"

"Okay, good to know," Tsunade said, turning her gaze to me, and then Kye. "Now, what are you wearing?"

"Um, well," Kye said. "Okay, Darcy, maybe you were right."

"I usually am, but about what this time?' I asked.

"This dress up idea was stupid," Kye said.

"Aw, don't be hard on yourself," I said. "It's not like we knew we would be summoned by the Hokage."

"Gee, why don't I feel better after hearing that?" She asked sarcastically.

"We can get you new close later, but first, the reason you've been summoned." Everyone straightened up in attention and ready for the briefing. "Akatsuki is on the move again, and since two of you have fought them already, I figured that it would be smart to have you on our side, ready to fight. But first, you need to become Genin, at the very least. If you aren't associated with this village, then I can't send you on missions. So, who's ready to be tested? It will require a lot of movement." Akito was the only one to raise her hand.

"Um, Lady Tsunade," I said hesitantly. "Kye and I need new clothes."

"Right," she said. But before she could continue, Shizune called her name.

"Lady Tsunade, they're here!" We all looked up to see Shizune leading Temari, Kankuro and Gaara into the clearing.

"Aw, not them, too," Kye complained under her breath.

"Hey, why should I care, I'm not the one who looks like a hooker," I said. My eyes met with Gaara's and we smiled.

"Good, you're hear," Tsunade said. "Oh, you three might have time to register for the Chunin Exams if you can get new clothes quickly so you can test to be Genin."

"Well, what are you waiting for? Come on, let's go shopping!" Sakura said, grabbing me and Kye by the arm and dragging us into Konoha.

D: Well, there you have it. Tell me what you think, and for those of you who were just readers last time, how about some reviews? It would make me feel really, really, really loved!

K: It would, it really would.

A: So what's next chapter?

D: Next chapter will be shopping; I'll try to drag it out as much as I can. Not so it's really boring, but so that's it's not short. Okay, review please!
