Hey! It's KRISH-un again! I didn't have Drama Club today, and no one's home, so I decided that I was actually going to update in the afternoon! Yay!

Okay, so the thanks this Chappie goes to: Mood-chan and Gaara's Sweetheart. Thanks so much guys! It's so nice to know people are reading what I'm writing!

A wierd, Halloweenish thing is that my hair is now pink! It's great! It's temporary, but I love it. Sorry for the randomness, but I felt that I had to say it.

I don't feel like saying the disclaimer, so I'll have this little handy machine do it for me!

Disclaimer Machine: KRISH-un-sama does not own Naruto. Or Deidara. Or Sasuke. Or Chikazi, even though her personality was thaouhgt up by KRISH-un.

You heard it! Now get to reading!


Chikazi yawned. Very widely.

Sasuke glanced back at her, "Are you going to be any help at all?"

In between yawns, she managed to answer him, "No, not if I don't get any sleep! We've been searching all night!"

He sighed, anger plain on his handsome face, "Fine then. We'll rest now, and tomorrow we'll head to the land of Wind."

She nodded, yawning once again.

They slept on the ground, not even bothering to set up camp. Sasuke placed Chikazi in a tree, and fell asleep in front of that same tree, sort of protecting his new recruit.

The next evening, Sasuke woke Chikazi up, "Geez, how can you sleep so much?" He complained, "I've been up for hours!"

She glared at him, rubbing her eyes, "Well, sorry, Mr. I'm-so-cool-I-scare-people-ninja-man!! I like to sleep!"

He sighed, "Come on already. We're going to where Jugo saw the Akatsuki member."

"Okay," She mumbled, stifling a yawn.

The two somewhat unwilling companions traveled at high speed into the land of Wind. They slowed as they approached the coordinates. "We're almost there…" Sasuke whispered. Chikazi caught the obsessed glint in his eye and shuddered. Man, could this man be creepy!

(A/N: And now we'll have a little intermission with Akai and Deidara...)

"YOU RETARD!" Akai roared, "What in all the hells did you do that for?"

Deidara grinned a sheepish grin, "'Cos it was fun, and I knew it would annoy you, un!"

She sighed, going back to bandaging one of his many wounds he had sustained from his fight with Kisame. She pulled extra tight on one of the bandages on purpose.

Deidara winced, "Jeez, didja have to pull so tight, un?" He complained, scowling.

She grinned ically, "But of course, Deidara-san" She said, that last bit not entirely sarcastic.

He sighed, sulking. This was going to be hell.

(A/N: Oh, jeez. Deidara must really enjoy annoying Akai. Anywho, back to Sasuke and Chikazi...)

The next day passed uneventfully for Chikazi and Sasuke. They couldn't find any trace of an Akatsuki member anywhere, and it was wearing them down. Sasuke had completely stopped speaking, and Chikazi was bored out of her mind.

As they stopped to sleep again, Chikazi looked over at him, "You want to kill your brother that much, huh?"

He looked at her in surprise, "Yeah." He looked down at the ground, "He killed my whole clan. He's going to pay!" That obsessed glint came back into his eyes.

Chikazi made herself yawn, "Damn, I'm tired." She said, "I'm going to bed…" She climbed up into a tree nearby, falling asleep almost instantly.

Sasuke sighed, pulling himself next to the same tree, falling asleep not quite as fast as she did.

(A/N: And... With Akai and Deidara at that same moment...)

"I YOU!" Akai yelled, tearing down the halls of the base.

"Wait up!" Deidara yelled back, running after her, "C'mon, wait! If you keep going that way, you'll-!"

"I DON'T NEED TO HEAR IT!" She yelled at him, not looking where she was going. Suddenly, she wasn't inside the base. Nonetheless, she continued to run, ending up in the forest that surrounded the mountain.

She found a tree to sleep in. Curling up in it, she fell asleep.

Back inside the base, Deidara sighed to himself, "I'll get her tomorrow, un. She'll be fine," He reassured himself, walking back to his room.


Uh-oh... What did Deidara do now? Well, I know, 'cos I'm the author, but I want you guys to guess. So... Tell me in a review what you think Deidara did.

Also, What did you guys do for Halloween? Tell me in your review, what you did, what you dressed up as, etc.

What I did (Yes, you don't have to read this): I sat outside my house on a plastic chair with three shirts and three pair of pants on. I had a mask and some creepy looking gloves. The candy was also on my lap. A few of my friends were sitting on my roof with Marshmellow guns. We scared the crap out of most of the kids in my neighborhood. It was fun.

And, no, the pink hair didn't matter. that was one of my friend's ideas. It was actually a good idea, for once.

Well, see ya! R + R please!
