Omg I'm back finally!!!! Aren't you so happy?

I'm really sorry that this was taking so long but I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do in this chapter since I didn't want to launch into the plot just yet……that should be in the next chapter or two…..

Anyway here's the disclaimer!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto blah di blah but I do own Keo, Salina, and the plot.

Skye belongs to Falling Demon.

Enough chatter, on with the story!!!!!!!!!!!

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Sasuke's POV:

I didn't know why I let them drag me along, I mean, it's not like I couldn't have stopped them, being a vampire and all. But here I was, walking through the school with the others.

About ten minutes ago when we were all about to leave Salina came running out telling us we couldn't leave yet. It turns out that chain she wears around her neck with the rings on it fell off and she didn't notice. After a big fuss we all ended up searching the school for it.

So here I am, waiting for my opportunity to leave.

Sadly, I don't think I'll get that chance.

"When was the last time you saw it?" Ino sounded like we would all die if we didn't find the necklace. She was a major part of the reason that I was stuck here. Neji, Shikamaru, Keo, and Naruto didn't seem too thrilled about it either.

"I know I had it at lunch, but I can't remember if I had it afterwards," Salina's tone indicated that if we didn't find the necklace she would be acting strange for a long time.

"I'm not trying to be nosey, but why is this necklace so special?"

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Normal POV:

When Sakura had the question out no one answered. Salina's hand flew instinctively to her neck only to bring it down realizing the chain wasn't there.

Sakura waited patiently, looking from face to face until Salina's voice came out in a near whisper.

"The rings belonged to my grandparents, they were their wedding rings."

Before Sakura could reply, a voice boomed from further down the hallway.

"Hey! What are you all doing here…hn?"

The gang turned around to see Deidara and Tobi approaching them.

"We could ask you the same thing," Skye replied, her hands on her hips.

"You could, but I won't answer, yeah," His smirk seemed to frustrate Skye.

"Alright then, Tobi," Shikamaru said, "What are you guys doing here?"

Tobi's voice was perky as normal, "I lost my sunglasses, but Kisame called and told us that they were at his house so we're leaving now."

Deidara frowned at Skye's triumphant expression, "Alright you know why we're here so now you have to spill, hn."

"Salina here lost her necklace and decided that none of us could leave until she found it," Neji explained quickly, hoping that it would get them out of there faster.

"You mean this one?" Deidara pulled a necklace out of his pocket and dangled it at arms length so that everyone could see it.

Salina's eyes widened "Yes! That's mine!"

"Good to know," Deidara's grin didn't give anything away, "Because Tobi wanted to see it, yeah."

After saying this, the blonde tossed the necklace to Tobi who caught it eagerly.

Everyone groaned the second the necklace touched his hands.

"He had to give it to Tobi," TenTen muttered.

"I guess we're not going to get to leave for a while," Naruto said in disbelief.

"Tobi, can I please have that back, you don't know how important it is to me," Salina gave him a pleading look.

The boy stared at her for a few minutes before walking behind her, oblivious to the questioning looks around him.

Salina could feel his heat behind her and could barely get her question out.

"What are you doing?"

As an answer, Tobi slipped the necklace around her neck and locked the clasp.

A second later he was twirling her in a circle again like he normally did.

"AHHHHHHHHHH PUT ME DOWN TOBI!!!!!"

""Does t-this mean w-we g-get to go home n-now?" Hinata asked.

"I don't think we should wait to find out," Sakura replied.

"Sounds like a plan to me," TenTen replied, turning in the direction of the door.

Naruto had reached the door first and tried to yank it open but it wouldn't budge. He tried for a few more minutes putting his feet against the door and falling down several times to no avail. By the time he gave up, Skye and Keo had managed to pry Tobi off of Salina and they –along with Deidara- had joined the others.

"What's with the door, shouldn't the fox demon of all people be able to open a door?" Sakura sounded annoyed.

"I should, but I can't," Naruto replied, heaving.

Sasuke tried to pull the door open himself but it didn't work. "Damn, I can't get it either."

"I could blow it up, hn," Deidara sounded hopeful.

"You can't do that," Keo muttered.

"And why can't he? It'll get us all out faster."

Apparently Ino had no respect for her school on a Friday night.

Salina sighed, "If he blew up the door they'd have to launch into a huge investigation, and we can't have that now can we?"

"Although it may keep us out of school for a day or two," Skye thought aloud.

"Getting us out of school or not, it doesn't matter," Shikamaru declared, "We were the last people here, therefore the prime suspects."

Skye looked disappointed, "Yeah I guess you're right."

"Of course he is, it's Shikamaru you're arguing with," TenTen grinned.

That was when the lights went out.

"AHHHHH I CAN'T SEE!!!!!! SOMEONE TURN ON A LIGHT!!!!!"

"Naruto, you're a fox demon that can see in the dark, so shut the hell up!"

"Ow! You didn't have to hit me, Skye."

"Yes I did."

"No you didn't."

"Yes I did."

"No you-"

"It doesn't matter! We are stuck in a school and the power just went out, there are more important things to think about than whether or not someone deserved to be hit!"

"Wow, Hinata, I didn't think you had it in you…" Neji, murmured.

"You go girl!"

"Ino…."

"What is it Shikamaru?"

"Never mind."

"Either way Hinata's right," Sasuke said, "We need to either find out what's going on here or find a way out, so let's split up and get going."

With Naruto and Hinata:

Naruto and Hinata walked into the science lab with flashlights in hand.

Shining her flashlight around the room, the pale girl couldn't find anything.

"Hinata," Naruto surprised Hinata by edging closer to her.

"Y-Yes Naruto-kun?"

"Do you remember what happened at the holiday party?"

"H-Hai, w-what a-about it?" Her voice was quiet as she recalled the night's events.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know what came over me," Naruto's voice was unnaturally ashamed.

Hinata's eyes widened, "You have no reason to apologize!" she exclaimed.

Naruto looked at her, astonished, "Hinata you didn't stutter!"

Naruto paused for a moment, taking in what she had said, "Wait, a second, what do you mean I don't have anything to apologize for? I kissed you when I was drunk on eggnog! That seems like something to apologize for to me."

Hinata took the chance to stop his rambling, "Naruto, why did you-well you know,"

Naruto thought for a moment, "Like I said, I was drunk on eggnog, but I guess it was just sort of something that I've been wanting to do for a long time, but that still doesn't make it right, I'd understand if you were mad at me."

Hinata stared at him, turning red, "I-It's right when both people have b-been waiting for it."

Naruto gaped at her, "So you're saying that…."

Hinata didn't answer she just nodded and smiled slightly.

A fox like grin spread across the demon's face, "In that case, since there's no one here to interrupt, you won't mind me doing this!"

Naruto placed one hand on the small of Hinata's back and used the other to tilt her chin towards him before pressing his lips to hers. It was gentle, even though his enthusiasm was evident.

With Tobi:

"AHHHHHHH WHERE AM I?!?!?!?!?!? WHY DID I HAVE TO BE THE ONE LEFT ALONE?!?!?!?!"

Err, never mind…..

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

With Neji and TenTen:

TenTen and Neji were walking down a hall in the south side of the school in complete silence. The only sound was their footsteps and the sound of rain pattering against the roof somewhere above them along with the occasional burst of thunder.

The silence didn't seem to bother Neji in the slightest but it was driving TenTen to the brink of insanity.

"Are you going to say something?"

Neji's cold tone surprised the brunette.

"I was waiting for you to say something since you wouldn't say anything otherwise," She replied the best she could.

"Ah,"

TenTen turned to him with her hands on her hips. "Is that all you can say? 'Ah'? It would really be nice if you spoke to me a little more, it makes you seem like a complete ass. I realize that you're not a talkative person but you could at least say enough to make me believe that you don't hate me!"

Neji looked at the upset girl beside him, shocked.

"Y-You think I hate you?" Clearly, merely saying the sentence was hurting him.

"That's what you make it seem like a majority of the time," TenTen's tone seemed hurt as well.

"TenTen listen to me, please. I don't hate you. That would be impossible for me, as hard as it is to believe I care about you more than anyone knows," Neji pleaded, trying to get through to her.

TenTen looked at him, "Really?" Neji nodded, "so does that make us friends, or-"

Neji cut her off, "We can be anything you want us to be,"

TenTen smiled and took his hand, "That sounds pretty good right now."

With Ino and Shikamaru:

As Shikamaru walked along, Ino followed about a few feet behind him muttering, "It had to be him, him, why couldn't it have been Sasuke?!"

Shikamaru –now fed up with Ino's rant- turned around to face her.

However Ino wasn't paying attention so she bumping into him and fell back.

She glared up at him, "What the hell was that for?!"

Shikamaru folded his arms across his chest and looked down at her, "You know, if you stopped complaining you would be able to get away from me faster. I didn't realize that the idea of being alone with me irritated you so much. Besides, when are you going to get over Sasuke anyway? It's getting troublesome."

Ino stared at him blankly before snapping, "If you paid any attention whatsoever you would have realized that I don't like him anymore!"

Shikamaru was taken aback, "What do you mean? You always obsess over him when he's not around."

"It's an act for crying out loud!!! Of course, you probably don't know enough about how girls' work to know I was trying to make you jealous!" Ino shouted at him, not paying attention to what she was saying.

Shikamaru's eyes widened briefly, "So you finally admitted it."

Ino stared at him as he took her hand to pull her up.

"Huh?"

Shikamaru sighed and looked away, "I was waiting for you to admit it so that I could tell you that I…felt the same way."

Ino continued to stare at him until she understood what he was saying. When she did understand, she squealed and began hugging him.

With Keo and Salina:

Keo and Salina walked out of a classroom, coming up with nothing to tell them what was going on.

"Where to next?" Salina asked, shutting the door behind her.

"I think we're pretty much done," Keo replied.

Salina looked around the hallway, "I wonder what how the others are doing."

"Your guess is as good as mine," Keo didn't seem to be paying attention.

Salina walked in front of him and waved a hand in front of his face rapidly.

Keo took her hand in his to make her stop, "What is it?"

Saline stood on her toes and leaned towards him, scrutinizing his every facial expression, "You're not acting like you normally, do."

"I'm not?"

"No you're not!" Salina raised her voice slightly, "Something's on your mind, I can tell, so what is it?"

Keo pulled their hands apart and looked away, "It's nothing to worry about, Salina."

Salina wouldn't take no for an answer, "Of course it's something to worry about if you won't talk about it!"

"Persistent as always," He muttered before looking at her, "Do you really want to know?"

The expression on the young girl's face told him yes.

"Aright, I was just thinking, about Tobi, and what you thought of him…" He trailed off.

Salina cocked her head, "You're jealous?"

Keo freaked out, "No! I just umm..."

Salina wasn't paying any attention, "You don't have to be jealous, I don't care for him the way I do you." Her tone was the same innocent one that he loved.

Salina took Keo's hand and smiled up at him. He had a skeptical looked on his face but it soon slipped away to reveal a content smile.

With Deidara and Skye:

"Why the hell did I have to get stuck with you, I'd rather be with Tobi, un."

Skye glared at him, "Well I'm sorry, I wasn't the one who dragged you to the other end of the school. Why did you do that anyway?"

Deidara shrugged and focused on where his flashlight was pointed, "I don't know, I had some stuff to ask you and I knew that you wouldn't have answered truthfully if we weren't alone...yeah."

Skye came to a halt, "And what was it exactly that you wanted to ask?"

"I wanted to know why you were blushing when I carried you out of the school that day, yeah," The blonde's tone didn't give anything off but curiosity but Skye couldn't help but wonder if he had an ulterior motive.

"I was not!" Skye stammered, her face going slightly pink.

Deidara smirked, "You're lying, hn."

Skye put her hands on her hips, "I am not."

Apparently, Deidara knew better, "Alright, but if you weren't then, you are now, yeah," He said, shining the flashlight near Skye's face, revealing the shade of scarlet spreading across her face.

Skye gulped, "Alright, but what does it matter to you?"

Deidara shrugged, "I wanted to know if we had the same reason, yeah."

Skye had a confused expression on her face, "You never blush, Deidara."

"Yeah, but I talk less when you're around, although you wouldn't notice, yeah."

"Alright, I'll bite, what's your reason?" Skye leaned against a door, resting her hand on the handle and focusing on that.

Deidara placed his hands on either side of Skye's head, leaning closer to her face.

"I'll give you one guess, hn," He whispered, knowing he was in control.

"Umm" Skye was having trouble thinking straight.

"Oops, sorry, times up, un,"

Before she could retaliate, Deidara had already crashed his lips onto hers.

With Sasuke and Sakura:

Sasuke and Sakura were walking through the library in silence.

Soon, Sasuke sighed and looked at Sakura, "Alright, what are you thinking about?"

Sakura smiled at him meekly, "Nothing of importance."

Sasuke gave her a skeptical expression and soon the look in his eyes caused Sakura to stop resisting.

"I was just wondering," Sakura chose her words carefully as Sasuke waited impatiently, "I know that my blood is more, appealing to you, and I was trying to figure out if it would ever cause you to, well, lose control…."

Sasuke shook his head dismissively, "No, I can control myself if I want too, and I definitely don't want to cause you any harm."

When Sakura didn't say anything, Sasuke took that as doubt (which it was).

"I can prove it," Sasuke said quietly, trying to convince both Sakura and himself.

Before Sakura could protest, Sasuke locked his cold hands around Sakura's wrists and pinned them above her head against a bookcase.

"I can prove it," He repeated in her ear.
