I woke up the next morning, grabbed a shower, got dressed and started my day as usual. I sat on my bed and clean my gun for about an hour before a buzzing sound came from my cell on the table next to me.

" Yehilo?" I said into the receiver with a slight bitterness added to my voice.

" Hey Ame!" A cheery voice on the other end cried

" Good God Ayuma are you trying to blow out my ear drums?" I said while rubbing my temple with one hand.

" Hey, Ame have you heard from Hitake yet?"

" No. Why?" I replied with a hint of worry staining my voice

" He hasn't called me yet."

" Honestly, I don't blame him. If you hadn't called I wouldn't talk to you either." I could hear crickets chirping in the background as she tried to come up with a come back. " Having trouble there, 'Yuma?" I said with a chuckle. Sasuke tapped me on the shoulder.

" We have to get going." He whispered

" Alright, I have to get going. Call me if he does." I snapped the phone shut, stood up and walked out the door. " Do you know what Kakashi wants?" I asked not looking to my left at Sasuke.

" I don't know, probably something about the Akatsuki." I stopped walking and grabbed Sasuke's hand to make him stop too.

" Hey, are you okay?" I let go.

" Yeah, just tired."

" Alright, but if you fall asleep I'm not carrying your sorry ass back." He sighed and kept walking. We met up with Kakashi in his room. " Hey what is every else doing here?"

" I just got word from the Hokage that we need to stop this mission and start one more important."

" So you brought the Kazekage?" He sighed.
