Hi hi! Here's Chapter 3 for all of you! When my friend was reading this she asked me to include some character descriptions in the next chapter, so I've chosen to have them as a sort of profile instead of explain them in the story. (Truth is: I have seen stories go to the dogs because the author gets into the detail so much, it takes away from the story. I would hate for that to happen.) Oh and just to say my three OC's don't have last names... I don't know why they just don't.

Chapter 3

Lights flickered on one by one as the last rays of the sun escaped behind the horizon; a clear summer night had just begun. Most of Konoha's citizens were just getting out of their jobs and made their way home through the dimly lit streets, while a few others were just beginning their duties in the night shift.

Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara of the desert had just made it to the temporary living space the village had given them. As they came through the door one after the other they began to settle in. Temari took the giant fan from her back and placed it next to the bed she would be sleeping in and sat down on the blankets, sighing she bent down and pulled off her sandals. In the next room Kankuro sat his puppets in a corner and sat on the window ledge speaking with the team leader Baki, while Gaara sat against the wall quietly.

By now Team Setsuko made it to the apartment and had found their positions, they decided to stay unnoticed on this mission for a while to gather information. Akemi was sitting in the tree near the window, Kane was on the roof of the building crouched like a cat, and Hoshi was in the shadows right next to the window.

"Man my feet hurt; we did too much walking today." Hoshi whispered pulling off his sandals.

"Stop complaining," Kane sighed from above him. Hoshi stuck his tongue out at her and stood up quietly.

"What are you doing Hoshi?! Get down!" Akemi whispered harshly. Hoshi held up his arms in defense and shook his head.

"Calm down im just stretching my joints," he replied quickly. Akemi shot him a warning glance and shook her head. Hoshi was about to sit back down when some pollen in the tree was sucked into his nose, he began to suck in large amounts of air and covered his mouth quickly. Akemi and Kane looked at him with horrified expressions as he let out the pressure.

"Achooo!" the sneeze rang through the still night like a woman's scream. Before anybody could react Hoshi was being pulled through the window by one of the sand siblings.

"Who the hell are you and why were you outside that window you brat?" an older boy with face paintings screamed into Hoshi's face. Hoshi stood wide-eyed and trembling for a moment before he quickly pulled a kunai from his leg pouch and held it to his opponent's neck.

"Let me go," he said calmly glancing towards the boys grip on his shirt collar. Akemi jumped through the window and in and instant was behind the boy holding a kunai to his back. Kane jumped down to the window and hid in the shadows.

"You heard him," Akemi whispered into the sand genin's ear while she slowly applied pressure to the kunai.

"That doesn't mean he will obey," a young girl's voice came from behind Akemi. Akemi tensed as an arm encircled her neck and began to choke her, after a moment she dropped the kunai.

"Good," the girl said slowly. Akemi started to growl lowly as she quickly drew her sword and swung it in back of the girl's neck, with her free hand she grabbed the blade and began to pull it towards her slowly. The girl gasped as the sharp blade dug into her neck slightly allowing blood to trickle from the wound. Akemi had a sadistic smile on her face as imagined the girls face.

"Surprised? Can't understand why my blade is piercing your skin with barely any force? I'll tell you why. You see my sword is so sharp it can cut through the strongest of metals, why you ask? Im afraid that's top secret, but I can give you a small example of what it can do." With that Akemi withdrew her sword and held it above her head and was about to swing it when sand encircled her wrist.

"What the hell!" she yelled caught off guard. She examined the sand for a moment then followed it to the red head sitting against the wall.

"Gaara?" both the boy and girl said in astonished unison. The boy just stared foreword, if it weren't for his hand slightly raised from its resting place it would have seemed he didn't even notice the fight. Akemi growled loudly at her situation revealing her long K-9 teeth in the process.

"Its no use, nobody has ever escaped Gaara's sand," the older boy laughed still keeping his grip on Hoshi's shirt collar. Akemi suddenly stopped growling and looked at the boy with the eyes of a person on the verge of insanity.

"Shouldn't have said that…" Hoshi mumbled earning him a punch in the gut from his capture. Akemi started laughing making everybody in the room besides Gaara cringe; this was due to the fact that her laugh was even creepier than Orochimaru's.

"Why do people always…UNDERESTIMATE ME?!" she screamed as she grabbed her sword with her free hand and brought it high above her head. Then before anyone could do anything she swung her sword down and cut through the sand that restrained her other wrist.
