Chapter 2: A damper in the Plans

"Alright! Let's let the fun begin!" Sai said.

Sai had gotten there a little bit earlier then the rest had so he just sat and chilled, earning some strange looks and comments from others; to them he looked like a hobo, with his tattered coat. But it was only a ruse. For the people had no clue what would happen tonight.

Once he saw the old Bentley pull up he got rid of his coat, and was in; super tight leather pants, I don't think he wore any underwear either. His wife beater was cut to show off his abs, while his gloves only covered his hands and thumbs and his pointy finger. He was the only ones who didn't have a belt. He had no reason to wear one. The leather clung to his lithe body. He was also one of the ones (besides Kiba, but he had an excuse to wear goggles, he couldn't see through the tiny slits on those god forsaken masks, although, he did wear his mask to the side and he wore something to cover his mouth) who didn't have a porcelain masks either. He liked the thrill of being caught, so he wore a beanie and dark tinted goggles.

"Let's let Akamaru hack into their systems..." Naruto said pretending to be Shukaku.

"Kay boss." Kiba said stepping forward, walking towards the glass door. His goggles allowed him to see the security. He had got quite a fortune on those beauties. The goggles allowed him to see the entire layout for the security, nifty little things? That and their also water resistant, which in Kiba's case; came out quite handy. The gang did lots of things that included getting wet.

"OH! I see..." Kiba said finally understanding the complex of the security; he turned around, "Alright Gents, we go up by roof. I see a weak spot in their security and it's on the roof... Scarecrow, keep us up to date, we'll be on channel four?—" Kiba said pausing to get the okay from Naruto.

"Yes, channel four...its all clear." Gaara said for Naruto, Gaara always did that. Checking and monitoring which frequency was the best for them to use during their heists. Plus he didn't want the cops to pick up their transmissions. That would be bad, plus it would give away their location for lots of things.

"—Channel four, and if things get hectic...kick open the door. The door has a motion detector inside...if it's opened up from the outside it'll go off, and then the cops will come. But if and only if we're in dire need of help." Kiba said, turning his ear walkie-talkie on; everyone else followed suit.

-Meanwhile in another part of Town-

Sasuke grumbled angrily as he pulled into his garage. His car was his only prized possession. It was a slick black BMW. Sure it was costly, but that was what his first paycheck of a new promotion got him.

Sasuke still lived in Uchiha Manor. He just couldn't sell it, to many memories, but also some bad ones too. Plus his brother owned half of it within the will of their father and mother.

Sasuke lived with the eldest Uchiha, Obito; a collage professor. He finally was able to do something right with his life. Obito dropped out of one of the finest law collages, Harvard. He disappointed his family, but more importantly his dad.

Obito is a good collage professor, I've actually attend one of his classes. All his students love him. What's not to love? A wealthy bachelor in his thirties. Has the attention span of a goldfish, but has a happy-go-lucky attitude outlook on life. Everyday Obito rides the dart to work, he doesn't believe in polluting the earth even more by driving to work like me. But then again I guess Obito understands about the earth more then I do, after all he's a professor of Biology and Anthology, he makes his living off of this, Sasuke thought.

Obito grew up with Kakashi, that's probably why Sasuke was in the police force. After all Sasuke didn't want to be the lawyer, the family already had a lawyer in the family, even if he's distant. Itachi was always distant.

After the whole "Obito dropping out of Harvard" thing the next best thing was Itachi and Sasuke.

Sasuke never did question that whole series of events, he either didn't know a lot about it, or was to young...but whatever. Sasuke liked his job, even if it lacked a nice vacation plan. It kept him single, and kept his wallet full too.

"Tadaima..." (A.S. if I'm correct, I had to ask miyou so I am! Means I'm back, although you should've known that! If you read fics the writer's prolli say it) Sasuke grumbled; even if there was nobody home Sasuke had grown used to saying it. Either that or it had been drilled into his head by Obito using it way to much. Old habits die hard is what you could say I guess.

Sasuke grumbled as he walked into his giant living room. Hell I bet you could fit a family the size of a circus clowns in there and still have room enough to play football. Well without breaking anything.

Sasuke sighed as he plopped down on his leather couch, reaching out lazily for the remote so he could turn on his big screen plasma t.v.

The first thing that greeted Sasuke was a picture of Kyuubi, from some news report the channel so happened to be on. Obito must've been on this station last before he went to bed last night, Sasuke thought as he frowned.

"Joy", Sasuke said aloud to particularly nobody. This is what he needed, for his work to follow him home. Although he had to admit Kyuubi was kind of hot. He was the only one out of the Demons to pull off the leather pants. Sasuke thought for a split second as he flipped to another channel, hoping it was 'Kyuubi-less'. But hoping was such a strong word.

"Konbanwa Uchiha-sama..." Joyce, the maid piped up, causing Sasuke to bolt right up. Turning his head he saw that she was greeting Obito. Damn his parents, why couldn't they just have had one kid? No they had to have three...

"Konbanwa Joyce-chan." Obito said happily as he pulled off his shoes, still keeping up the traditions as if he were still in Japan.

"Konbanwa Sasuke-kun! Long day??" Obito said as he loosened his tie.

Causing Sasuke to shiver, even at work nobody dared to call Sasuke Sasuke-kun. Well except for maybe Tsunade, Kakashi, and Neji. They only did it to piss him off. Which worked, but damn if he couldn't kill his own brother, who was also immune to his death glares; after all being older then Sasuke probably helped.

"Hnn..." Sasuke replied.

Obito also seeming to understand his little brothers communicative vocabulary responded, "Oh...rough huh? Still after Kyuubi?" Sasuke nodded in reply.

Obito frowned in return, "Oh! Did you get your aspirin?"

"Oh so you ordered it! I was wondering who gave it to me... Yeah I got it, but I left it in my office." Sasuke lied, he actually through it away in the dumpster down the street from his office when he was on lunch break. For all he could've known it was probably a bomb from one of his adoring fans.

"So what did you think of the kid...oh whatshisname, Naruto?" Obito said nudging his brother playfully as he sat down on the couch.

Okay what is it? Do I just give off signs to people that I need to be laid?! Sure Obito knew I was gay, although I don't know how he knew I need to be laid. But Neji, that's just something else! Yeah sure I think the kid's cute but I bet you he's about seventeen, and I'm what? Effing twenty-two! He isn't even legal yet! Sasuke thought to himself silently fuming.

"He's okay...I guess..." Sasuke caught himself saying; too late it had already been said.

"Awww—" Obito said getting cut off with the simple whats for dinner trick.

Ignoring it he began to say, "Aww you know Sasuke, you should ask him out to lunch or dinner...plus you two would make a cute couple!" Obito said, taking the remote out of his stunned-to-silence brother's hand.

"Really well thank you for giving me tips on my love life Obito...so...how are you and Rin coming out huh??" Sasuke said getting back at his brother, hitting him pretty low.

He had known Rin for a long time. Just about as long as he knew Kakashi too. Rin was a transfer student in Japan from America, er—when they still lived in Japan. But anywho him and Kakashi had battled over who would date Rin first, Obito sadly lost when his family moved to California. Rin later moved back to the USA, or so Kakashi said. But knowing any source coming from Kakashi wasn't that reliable. He was late to everything known to man kind, so knowing this made it hard to find Rin.

That and the fact that Kakashi didn't include any numbers or addresses, basically putting Obito up a creak without a paddle.

"Hey you know that was low? Least I don't go on about how much you haven't gotten laid."

"Che...like you haven't?" Sasuke shot back, hitting even lower then his brother.

"Yeah well...least I'm older and mom and dad didn't have to compare me to anybody..."

Ouch that left a mark. "Yeah...well...least I didn't have them comparing Itachi to me. Drop out."

"SASUKE UCHIHA DO YOU WANT TO RE-THINK THAT STATEMENT?" Obito yelled out, which was new for a change, Obito never really yelled. Not even to his students. Or at least raise his voice.

"Uh...sorry??" Sasuke blurted out, whatever he did to truly piss off his brother he really did mean it. Never in his life has Obito ever taken that tone, not even when he stubs his toe.

"YOU BETTER DAMN WELL BE!" Obito yelled out again.

"O-okay...but really, I'm truly sorry. Didn't mean to piss you off..." Sasuke said, I can't believe I'm apologizing for saying that...but then again Obito hasn't yelled at me like this since forever, I must have truly pissed him off, Sasuke thought scratching his head.

"Anyways, what's for dinner? I'm kinda hungry..." Sasuke said trying to get off of the heated topic.

"Leftovers I suppose? Joyce-chan said she's taking one of her breaks around 8:30 so she could spend some time with her family and siblings. Tonight is Halloween after all, I bet you she wants to go trick-o-treating with her brothers and sisters." Obito commented scratching his nose as he looked up at the ceiling.

"Hey isn't your office throwing a Halloween party??"

"Che...it's for that dumb-ass Neji...did I mention to you that he's going to be our spy." Sasuke said taking his socks off.

"Really? No you never mentioned that to me...but oh—" Obito paused; he knew Sasuke hated Neji and this whole spy thing was also just another step closer to a promotion.

Obito pretty much knew why Neji would be chosen over Sasuke to spy on the Konoha Demons. It was pretty much common knowledge why. Sasuke appeared in all the newspapers, t.v. broadcasts, internet articles; Tsunade basically claimed that he was in charge of the Kyuubi case, over live t.v., directed by satellite.

"Well Neji's been raised under the laws of the station. After all his uncle was the sarge before he retired wasn't he??" Obito asked.

"Che I don't know...frankly I don't give a rat's ass...he can be a spy if he god well wants to be... Just as long as he doesn't interfere in my line of work; or I'm not liable of shooting him if he does." Sasuke said as he flipped the channel bored half to death of the stupid cooking station they had been on for over half an hour.

Sasuke flipped to the news station, what better way to drown out your sorrows in a good info on sports, surly all the good stuff that would piss Sasuke off was gone...after all there was about only a few good seconds left before the news was over with, and onto wholesome funny family show-sitcoms.

As the sports anchor was going on about how the Cowboys had won their fifth game for the season, a live report cut in with the famous news reporter Ino Yamanaka.

Didn't Choji like her or...something?? Sasuke thought to himself as he was just about to flip the channel uninterested in whatever she had to say, but caught himself remembering one thing. Ino Yamanaka covers Kyuubi cases.

"So it appears we've been duped again by our infamous cat burglar Kyuubi and co! But why would he shot and kill an innocent bystander?" Ino said smoothly as the camera zoomed out of her face to cover the "Spanky Sam's Halloween Costume Deluxe" Halloween store. "Whats up with that you might ask yourselves? Well here's some feed we were able to save from the security cameras, before they were violently taken out by Shukaku." Ino said as the camera went off to the feed from the store.

This somehow caught Sasuke's attention, he knew Kyuubi like a fat kid knows cake. (A.S. bad pun I know...shaddap kthx.) Wait a minute...since when did Kyuubi start killing people...that's Shukaku's job...even if I'm not obsessed with Shukaku like I am with Kyuubi...I know my people...I gotta show Neji this. Maybe he'll understand. Sasuke thought grabbing his coat.

"Going out now???" Obito asked.

"Yeah...listen Obito you can handle out candies to those small brats can't you??" Sasuke asked examining his watch. It was almost time for those blasted kids on sugar highs to come anyway. Damn this day. Why was there such a day like this to give kids excuses to run about and such? Sasuke thought. It's just like Valentines Day, damn hallmark.

Obito sighed as he watched the youngest Uchiha walk out of the house. "Well...I guess I could...pass out candies... I don't think it'll hurt me...that bad... Like last year." Obito said remembering last year's Halloween incident, one which he wish not to remember again.

-At the Halloween Party-

"Here's to Neji! For being our spy!" a drunken Tsunade cheered, raising her glass up to Neji.

"Sarge don't you think you should be watchin your alcohol?" Kakashi stated as he too raised his glass to Neji.

"Aww, shuddap Kakashi! This night is fer Neji! Fer once leave my alcohol out of this!" Tsunade said as she took a sip from her glass hiccupping at the end.

"Congratulations nii-sama!!" Hinata added silently. Although Neji is her cousin she still affectionately calls him her big brother. As if they were still kids growing up together.

Neji smiled slightly, finally a time for when they were praising him instead the stupid glory hog-Uchiha. Life finally felt right, everything was going great. He was one step closer to getting a promotion. One which he and said Uchiha had been competing for ever since the two of them had gotten their last promotion-together-at the same time. Even his cat Miko stopped biting him.

But as soon as that smile found its way to his lips, it was replaced solemnly with a frown for disappointment.

"Sas-Uchiha? What are you doing here??" Neji questioned, looking Sasuke up and down. He was slightly wet. From a shower or the weather outside to running up here, Neji didn't have time to question (most likey couldn't) nor pursue the answer.

"Turn on the fucking T.V." Sasuke answered.

What? This didn't make any type of since. First of all he comes raining in on my party! Now he's ordering me to turn on the t.v. this makes no sense whatsoever! Neji thought as he stood still examining Sasuke's next movement.

"Why Sasuke? Want to barge in on Neji's parade?" Tsunade asked.

Okay first of all I was invited...I turned it down because I'm emo like that, Sasuke thought as he searched for the remote. Kakashi must have found it, because the t.v. was turned on, besides the fact that he also handed Sasuke the remote.

"No...he might actually enjoy this for once..." Sasuke muttered darkly, as he flipped to the station he was on last. Surly they were playing it over and over again, because Ino's that stupid. But God, the one thing that pissed him off was a drunken Tsunade.

Everyone gathered around Sasuke and the small t.v. "What is this Sasuke? If it's some gag I'm not interested..."

"There! Hinata freeze frame that or something!" Sasuke said cutting into Neji's speech, instructing Hinata what to do.

Neji paused before he was about to yell at Sasuke, as he looked at the screen. The shot was in bad condition. Stupid pixels, the shop owner must have been poor if all he could afford was this type of surveillance.

"Hinata, could you possible bring it up to the big screen and restore it?" Neji asked examining the screen again.

She nodded, and did as she was told to do. Restoring the pixels would be hard, but with this type of crappy camera's it would be easy.

"Alright..." Sasuke said pausing as he looked down at Hinata who was sitting in the chair he wanted to sit down in. Sasuke was just too damn lazy and tired to ask her to move anyways. What with running all around town doing his job by searching for Kyuubi and talking to people who got their stuff stolen by the Konoha Demons can be tiring. Along with dull seeing as one also has the Shukaku expert along with them.

"Oh sorry!" Hinata exclaimed, jumping up from the chair. "G-go r-right ahead!" Hinata said blushing as she backed away from said chair and Uchiha, silently poking her fingers together in a cute yet nervous way.

"Thanks" Sasuke said as he took the seat, sitting down he began messing with the computer trying to look for files on Shukaku and Kyuubi.

It was pretty hard seeing as this wasn't his computer, it was Neji's. So Neji would know where his image files are instead of Sasuke. And Sasuke didn't want to ask for help, he was an Uchiha, Uchiha's never asked for help. Or so said Itachi.

Finally finding Neji's images he right clicked one of the images of Shukaku's back and opened up a new window. Repeating the cycle except this time he repeated only for Kyuubi. The fact that Neji had a few pictures of Kyuubi surprised even Sasuke. Sasuke always thought Neji wouldn't save any pictures on Kyuubi. But then again Shukaku was Kyuubi's right hand man.

"Alright Neji don't you see something wrong with the back of Kyuubi?—"

"Well I wouldn't know Sasuke; after all you're the 'Kyuubi' expert..." Neji said cutting Sasuke off.

"Oh just save me the trouble and just take a goddamned look..." Sasuke said as he brought the picture back up for Neji.

Neji reluctantly took a look at the picture, "Okay so what am I supposed to be seeing here Sasuke? Kyuubi's back?" Neji snapped as he finally took his eyes off the computer and focused them onto Sasuke.

"Well..." Sasuke paused as he brought the pictures up of Shukaku's and Kyuubi's back. "Okay now examine them...wise ass..."

Neji examined the feed from the cameras and the two pictures from his file once again, as it finally clicked.

"Wait a minute...that's not Kyuubi. That's Shukaku..." Neji said finally.

"God he can be taught!" Sasuke said punching the air. "I knew it!! They must have switched or something..."

"Wait a minute...what?" a drunken Tsunade asked.

"The person dressed up as Kyuubi isn't Kyuubi. I think it's just some silly juvenile prank." Neji said turning the t.v. off, turning his attention towards Sasuke, "But check it out anyways..." he paused, "—I don't like the looks of it."

Sasuke grumbled, since when was I taking orders from the likes of Neji?! Sasuke thought bitterly as he obliged silently.

Grabbing his coat that he basically threw into Shino's hands the second he walked into the room; he was walking down to his car. The thought hadn't crossed his mind if he should take his BMW to Spanky Sam's Halloween Costume Deluxe store. Nor did it also cross his mind that that pesky newspaper reporter would be there either.

-Inside the party-

"Where are you going Temari?" Neji asked quietly as he approached the disappearing Temari.

"Huh? Oh—" Shit, Temari thought as she racked her brain for a quick excuse. "I have to call my brothers, Kankuro and Gaara. Kankuro's a total dumbass when it comes to cooking. Although my little brother doesn't eat I don't think he wants the house to burn down either. And Gaara's scary, especially when he's passing out candies. I wanted to call them to make sure Kankuro isn't burning anything down and Gaara isn't scaring kids. Plus Gaara can't cook...he only burns things." Temari said altogether, hoping that Neji would buy her excuse.

Well...technically it was the truth. Kankuro can't cook, and Gaara does scare small children.

"Well you don't have to go outside. Tsunade's not riled up anymore...go ahead and call them—" Neji said softly pausing. "—on speaker too. This conversation will make me have one hundred percent trust on you." Neji said calmly.

Truth be told he didn't believe Temari one bit. Even if she passed Tsunade's standards, she didn't pass his.

Although it was true, Tsunade was indeed in the verge of passing out. The party was rather dull anyways. After the source of the party in this case, Tsunade passes out the party's over.

Kakashi however had taken up playing beer pong with Iruka to pass the time. Shino was dozing lightly on the couch, pretty much after loosing his dignity loosing in strip poker he gave up trying to "have fun" and passed out on the couch. While Hinata passed her time looking at the soft pitter-patter of the rain examining it everytime it hit the window. And last but not least Choji, who after finishing the snacks also passed out on the couch, clutching his bag of potato chips. Neji looked back at Temari who was quietly on the phone.

Oh that blasted Hyuga! He's such a BASTARD! Temari thought evily as she waited for one of her brothers to pick up the phone.

"Yes? Sabaku residence, Kankuro Sabaku speaking."

"Hey K...it's me Tem." Temari said speaking in code. Gaara's code...Gaara saw fit if anyone unwanted was listening in on their convo to use a shortened version of one's name.

"Yes, what is it Tem?"

"I was just wondering if you burned the house down." Temari said as she giggled into the speaker.

"Oh hah-hah...you're cute you know." Kankuro said huffing into the speaker.

"I know, can I speak with Gaara?" Temari added nonchalantly as she twirled her hair. Oh how she would rue the day if she had to twirl her hair again, especially infront of the stupid Neji-puu.

"Sure let me go find him he's prolli off sulking somewhere..." Kankuro said pausing as he switched over to the walkie talkie. "Gaara...Temari wants to talk to you..."

"What is it? I'm bus—" Gaara said as he bashed in the last security's head, walking away from his bloodlust and from the camera's.

"She's being eavesdropped on bub...let me link you to the convo..." Kankuro said as he linked Gaara to the phone call.

"Ah! There he is—" Kankuro paused as he switched over the mike of the walkie-talkie to the phone.

"What?" Gaara said as he continued his journey.

"Don't 'what' me Gaara; I'm your older sister..."

"Right...well what is it you want Tem. It's rare from you to call...especially from your cell phone." Gaara asked as he reached the museum's holocaust exhibit.

"Well I was just wondering if good ole' Kankuro hadn't burned the house down." Temari asked.

"...not that I know of. And trust me Temari, I would know." Gaara said as he examined the glass from his past.

"Well that's good!" Temari exclaimed, throwing off Gaara's inner balance.

"God why are you so happy all of a sudden? It's not like you...have you been hitting the tequila hard? Or—oh dear lord don't tell me you're in some ditch off in Mexico." Gaara said truthfully, taking a slight worry for a short second of time.

"Aww...somebody cares, but to answer your questions, no. I haven't had any alcohol tonight...you'd tell...and no I'm not in Mexico, or in a ditch for that matter." Temari said forgetting the fact that Neji is standing right next to her, listening in on the conversation.

Neji just stood there quietly, whoever this Gaara person was sounded hot. Wait. What?! Neji thought to himself as he paled a little. There was no way he was falling for some voice over the phone. Let alone Temari's brother! Neji thought to himself.

"That's nice to know. I'm bored now so I'm going to give the phone back to Kankuro." Gaara said speaking in code again as he switched to the walkie-talkie, "I'm in...you talk to Tem now...I'm sure whoever is listening should be satisfied enough..." Gaara told Kankuro.

"Got it" he paused as he switched the mike off of Gaara's walkie-talkie and put the cell phone back to his ear. "Well it's a shame Gaara gets bored often...you really should get him one of those game stations he's been asking for. Maybe that might solve his problems?"

"Yeah maybe...hey K can you pick me up? I walked here this morning, could you come get me?" Temari asked.

"Sure...I'll be there soon. Bye." Kankuro said as he hung up his phone.

"It's alright if I go now anyways right?" Temari asked as she closed her phone, looking up at Neji.

"Oh right. Yeah sure I don't care, the party's already dead anyways." Neji said looking at the sad room once more. Almost everyone was either knocked out or bored half to death.

"Thank you Hyuga" Temari said smiling as she headed out of the door.

-At the Museum-

"I'm in Kyuubi, Shadow. What now?" Gaara said as he walked around the exhibit taking out the security cameras.

"Good, now you should be takin' out all those blasted cameras." Shikamaru stated as a question, but Gaara mistook it as a statement.

"It's already done..." Gaara said as he looked around the now security-camera-less room.

"Alright, to your...right you'll see something of value to only you take it and get going. Maru says theres trouble headin your way, and ours as well. It seems that damn clerk had spy security cameras set up. So grab the package and get your ass down here..." Shikamaru said as he cut the connection off.

Right...got it. Gaara thought to himself as he looked on his right.

Damn Shikamaru's clever. Gaara thought as he grabbed the package and hightailed it out of the room.

Gaara headed over towards the exit but stopped dead in his tracks as he looked down to see even more security run up the stairs.

"Shit! Goddamn...Shu—Kyuubi where in the hell are you?!" Naruto blurted out in his walkie-talkie.

"I'm in the exhibit. Why Shukaku where are you?" Gaara said as he made way towards the window.

"Fuck...I'm surrounded. I'm down near the mess hall..." Naruto said as he fought dearly for his life.

"Damn! I'm coming down for you." Gaara said stopping and heading back towards the door.

"NO! Dammit! Kyuubi this is an order I order you to stop and head your ass out a safer way. I'll find my way out...just protect that package!" Naruto ordered.

"Fine...it's your head then Shu." Gaara said as he removed the window pain slightly, and covered the alarm that was hooked up to the window with some chewing gum.

Meanwhile downstairs Naruto was having his own problems.

Fuck, come on think Naruto think! I have a smoke bomb that will get me out of this mess, and Akamaru said to break the glass if I get in a pinch...alright...Naruto thought to himself as he dodged a side punch to his head.

If he ever got out of here he'd remember to thank Gaara for doing all of this. Naruto thought again as he jumped in mid air easily dodging a kick.

But as unlucky as Naruto can be sometimes a punch was aimed for his stomach as soon as he was in the air.

Damn I think that broke a couple of ribs...Naruto thought as he clutched his side in pain, but also grabbing the smoke bomb. Throwing it down with ease he made his way over and out of the smoke and grabbed a chair. Throwing it at the glass wall; he watched it shatter to the ground causing the alarm to sound.

Naruto ran. He ran as far as he could to get out of that museum. He ran as far as he could. He ran, but didn't get far as he was crossing the street as a car ran into him, he flew back to the pavement and passed out.

"Shit...that...hurt..." Naruto said as he fought to regain consciousness.


Anonymous Saru: Oh noes!

Neji: ... damn right oh noes! You stupid cliff hanger whore!

Naruto:That was mean Neji!

Sasuke: Naruto...aren't you supposed to be...you know...knocked out??

Naruto: Oh right!!! (Goes back to being "knocked out")

Anonymous Saru: I AM WOUNDED!!!!! (goes off to cry in her emo corner)

Gaara: (rolls eyes) Kanae...tell the good people who kindly awaited for this next chapter you're sorry...

Anonymous Saru: But they already know I'm sorry! (sweat drops)

Obito: Yesh Kanae is VERY sorry for not updating faster...she relaxed during vacation...

Kakashi: Then she had homework like all normal people...but this year she promised that she'd actually do her homework this time round...after all you don't want her to get grounded right???

Iruka: Yeah...getting grounded causes less a chance of an update which makes all of you guys' sad right???

Anonymous Saru: (sniff) please forgive the ending...it was written in my slu-ness of being sick... (sweat drops) I'm sorry...oh so terribly sorry! Blame my cold!!! (cry)

Neji: Did you just make up a word Kanae???

Anonymous Saru: why yes...yes I did...XPPP

Gaara: Dear lord...for your patience heres something entirely funny...and maybe it'll make up for the lack of no updating-ness...thing... (A.S. okay it'll be in my profile...it's not working...sorry)

Anonymous Saru: Have fun with it!

Gaara: Yes, and oh REVIEW or Naruto will never come out of his coma-thing...

Naruto: I NEVER AGREED TO THAT!!!

Gaara: Yes you did...now review kthx! (runs off)
