Meanwhile, on the other side of the village, Akane was setting up nefarious traps in Kakashi's apartment. Heehee I am so devious, it hurts. He will never see these traps... Until it's to late that is. Then, BAM! All the traps will fall into place and Kakashi will get what's coming to him.' Double checking the traps to make sure everything thing is in place, Akane made her way back to the door with a little difficulty as she attempted to tip-toe over all of her ingenious traps.
"Blerg, Naruto," Sakura complained, "must you chew so loudly?
"Sorry, Sakura," Naruto began, "It's just that I haven't really..."
"Haven't really what, Naruto?" Sakura asked, "Naruto?".
"Hey, doesn't that woman over there look like the Mysterious Kitchen Appliance Destroyer?" Naruto asked.
"Is that really what we're calling her now? The Mysterious Kitchen Appliance Destroyer? " Sakura questioned, "and no, I don't think that's her."
"Well, why not? She fits the description." Naruto said.
"She'd have to be some sort of idiot to go wandering around the place where she committed a crime. And in broad daylight, no less!" said Sakura.
Just then the woman they were speaking rather loudly about looked up at the ramen stand and promptly turned on her heels and briskly but "not" in any suspicious manner, ran as fast as she could away from them. As she ran past all the shops and restaurants on the street, she thought 'Damn! How did they know that I was one committing all those crimes? I thought I was being careful. I thought I was covering my tracks, who could've possibly seen me? Could it have been that weird looking Wait? Are those kids following me? What are they yelling?'
"Stop running!" yelled Sakura.
"What I can't hear you! You'll have to speak up!"
"I said stop running! We know who you are and we're going to- OOF!" Naruto said as someone opened a door right in front of him.
"Hey there, Naruto, Sakura. What are you two up to?" asked Kakashi as Akane turned a corner and got away.
"Sensei, we just saw that woman. The thief. We were chasing her until you opened the door in front of Naruto and she got away." replied Sakura.
"I was wondering what Naruto was doing on the ground."
As Akane continued to run from two teenaged kids, she thought to herself, 'Is this really worth it? The lies, the deceit? Do I really need revenge that badly? Why am I still running from those two"OOF!" As she picked herself up from the ground, she said to herself "Who the hell put a wall there?"
A sarcastic voice answered back, "Who the hell runs into a wall? It's not like it jumped out in front of you."
"Shut up. No wait, first tell me who you are." said Akane.
"The name's Sasuke. Now tell me who you are."
"I'm Akane."
"What were you doing, running into a wall like that?" asked Sasuke.
"Well, I got a little lost in my lost thoughts and... Wait, you're Sasuke Uchiha, aren't you?"
"I am and who wants to know?" in a tone that implied that he was not in the mood for jokes.
"What? I already told you my name and you already told me that your name is Sasuke. You can't just all of sudden start acting mysterious when you've already told me that much."
"Whatever. Get to the point, already."
"Ah, right..." Akane began, "So, little Sasuke Uchiha -"
"I'm not little. I'm not a kid anymore".
"Right," Akane began again "So, not-so-little Sasuke Uchiha, how would you like to join me in getting some revenge?"
On the other side of the village, Kakashi was reading one his favorite books while searching through the many pockets of his ninja vest for the keys to his apartment. When he found the key he was looking for, he inserted it into the lock, turned the key, and opened the door. The instant he stepped into his apartment, he stepped on something slippery, lost his balance, and grabbed onto a nearby table for support. Looking around the room, he couldn't help but notice that his entire apartment was filled with small plastic cups all filled to the brim with water.
"What the hell?" he said aloud to himself.
Author's notes: I hope everyone liked that chapter. I also hoped that everyone knows that the plastic cups were not Akane and Sasuke's revenge, but that they were the traps that Akane was setting up at the beginning of the chapter. I would also appreciate any constructive criticism that you could offer.
