Second chapter! Hopefully this won't take too long. The last ch. took a few months. Sweatdrop. And, I just found out how to edit it once you upload it! WOOT! And, Sasuke's probably OOC. Sigh. And, thanks to all people who reviewed and/or put me on their favorites/alerts! It makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside. Lol. But seriously. And, yay! I didn't get any flames yet! I say 'and' a lot, don't I?

Do I really have to put a disclaimer in every chapter?

"Talking."

'Thoughts.'

Sasuke's POV

I approached the place where my new team was camped. I did not like them, and only picked them for their strengths. Although, I did not mind Suigetsu and Juugo. But Karin, she defined the word 'annoying.' I shuddered just thinking about her. But, thinking time was over. I was at the camp. "Suigetsu, Karin, Juugo, why do you appear to be waiting for me?" Indeed, they were sitting around the fire, sitting on top of their sleeping bags.

Juugo replied, "We couldn't sleep."

"Well, at least now I won't have to wake you up." I said, trying to look on the bright side. (A/N: Lol. The Uchiha ice cube, trying to look on the bright side. That's a good one.) I continued, "We will be joining some Konaha ninja tomorrow at dawn. And, all but one are my former teammates and comrades. By the way, Karin, I happen to like one of the females, so don't get any big ideas. That goes for you, too, Suigetsu. Sakura is mine."

I waited to see how they would react. Surprisingly, Karin was the first to get over her shock. She said, meekly, "Ok." Needless to say, we were all shocked…again. This was most unlike her.

"Karin…I thought you liked Sasuke?" said Suigetsu. Juugo and I nodded, showing we agreed.

"Key word there is 'like.' I don't love him, however much I like his hotness." she replied. "Truthfully, I think I'm in love with someone else."

I said to Juugo, "Notice how she looks at him shyly while saying that." Fortunately, only Juugo heard.

Meanwhile, Suigetsu gazed sadly at the fire. I knew he liked Karin, and was most likely thinking how they could never be together. So, trying to cheer him up, I said, "I know what you're thinking, Suigetsu, and you're wrong. And yes, I know that for sure."

He smiled gratefully at me, and said, "Thanks."

"Now, everyone, let's go to bed." I said. Upon hearing groans, I said, "And yes, you have to. Remember, we leave at dawn."

Still Sasuke's POV

It is morning, and we are headed towards Konaha's camp. I was getting pretty excited, although you could hardly tell. 'I can't wait to see Sakura again.' I thought. 'Correction. I can, but only because we're heading towards her.'

Just then, we arrived and jumped down into the camp. I quickly introduced my new team, and Kakashi introduced everyone else. I said, "Ok, now that we know each other's names, let's get going. I should lead, since I'm the only one who knows where we're going." When everyone agreed, we headed towards the place where Itachi and I would fight. (A/N: I can't recall what it was called, but I'm thinking…Uchiha Warehouse? Something like that.)

The order we were in, from front to back, was: me, Naruto and Kakashi, Suigetsu and Juugo, Yamato, Kiba on Akamaru, Shino, and then the girls. Surprisingly, I could hear all of their conversations, although most of the others could only hear the person in front of them and the person behind them. I chose to listen to the girls.

"Who do you like, Sakura?" Karin said. I smirked, as I knew this one. (A/N: Don't we all?)

"I like Sasuke, of course. I've loved him for what seems like forever." Sakura replied. "Who do you like, Hinata?"

"N-N-Naruto." Hinata tried to say. "Who d-do y-y-you like, K-Karin?"

She blushed as she said, "Suigetsu." Again, I smirked. I had been right! The rest of the trip was pretty much uneventful, until…

"Kisame!" I said. We had come upon him with a quarter mile until we got to the warehouse. (A/N: Tell me if it is or isn't the warehouse!) "Suigetsu, Juugo, Karin, he's yours. Kakashi?"

Kakashi said, "Yamato, Kiba, Hinata, Shino, and Akamaru. You guys help."

Team 7 and I started going past Kisame. He tried to stop us, but he was stopped by Suigetsu charging at him. We soon left them behind, and came upon…

Dun dun dun! I'm ending it there! If you're smart, you know who it is. I'll probably start on the next ch. Sunday at 12:00PM EST. I'm having my friend Corinne over to help with the battle. And I got up at 5:00AM to do this because I couldn't get back to sleep! Bye for now!
