Darkkinkachu: You know, I had no idea I hadn't even been near FFnet for three whole months until a reviewer brought it up…my bad…but seriously, sorry about that people :( But I'm back now! With a new chapter! Yaaaaay! If this chappy seems a bit disoriented and crammed and rushed its because…well…it is, for one thing. But more importantly, its because I haven't decided if this is the second to last chapter or if I will write more.

After the sand siblings left, Sakura returned to her breakfast, "wha-? Where did all my food go?"

The kittens, oddly enough, were nowhere to be seen.

……………………………………………………………………………………………...

"Maybe Itachi's right," Zetsu mumbled, "This could be bad. All those people here…"

Kisame gasped, "Your right! Some one might hit on Sakura while we're not looking!"

A large sweat-drop rolled down the back of Zetsu's head, "That's…that's not really what I meant…"

A jingling sound made them look around. Deidara was standing on his back legs, swatting at a little bell attached to some string. When he saw the others looking at him he just shrugged his little kitty shoulders, "It's fun, yeah."

Turning away from their odd companion, the small group formed a semi-circel in the middle of the living room, "What I meant was that, with so many people, someone might recognize us, or at least get a little suspicious."

"I don't think so." Tobi said, pawing at a loose bit of fuzz, "If anyone was going to recognize us it would have been Kakashi-san, right?" he looked up from the fasinating fluff to see every one staring at him, "What? I just thought…"

"That is the best idea he's ever had…" Zetsu's dark side grumbled while his light side came close(sort of) to beaming at its former pupil.

"Tobi really is a good boy," Hidan laughed, scratching his chin with his back paw, "Not even the Uchiha genius thought of that!"

"Maybe I did and I just didn't want to share it with those of lower inteligents." Itachi hissed in a soft, deadly voice. Hidan gulped and suddenly became very interested in his tiny, pink-padded toes.

At that moment Sakura came back into the room, smiled at her charges, and took a seat on the couch, "I have the day off so I can stay here with you guys today!"

"I wonder if she always talks to animals like they can understand…" Kakuzu thought out loud. The others ignored the rude comment.

As the day wore on, little happened. Itachi took up a spot on the couch next to Sakura, diligently cleaning his silky black fur. Kisame had fallen asleep on her feet. After eating the rest of what was left in the kitchen, Zetsu sat on the windowsill, mumbling to himself as people passed by below. Deidara, Tobi, and (to some extent) Hidan, were attacking the fake mice and balls of yarn that had been scattered around the apartment. Kakuzu enjoyed himself by walking all over and appraising things value.

It wasn't until about 2:30 that anything happened. Itachi was just settling down for a nap in Sakura's lap when the phone rang, startling everyone, espescialy Kisame, who lept up with an odd yowl and dove under the couch.

"Awww…It's ok, Jaws." The young medic cooed, trying to tempt the cat out, "It was just the phone." When he didn't come out, she sighed and picked up the reciver, "hello?"

"Are you ok, Kisame-san?" Tobi asked curiously, peeking under the furnature.

"I'm fine!" was the sharp reply, "Other than my tiny kitten heart almost exploded!"

"Oh, hi Shikamaru! What are up to?"

Itachi tilted his head, flicking one ear to listen better.

"Who is it?" Hidan asked, placing his front feet against the couch, "what do they want?"

"Yes, I saw him this morning." Sakura said, grinning and putting down her book, "Mm-hm, just his neck, but I could tell that wasn't all he wanted…" a pause, fallowed by a small giggle, "I know it. But Temari and Kankuro came in and you know he doesn't like to do anything while they're around."

"Whats that supposed to mean, yeah?" Deidara had clawed his way up to sit next to Itachi, "What wont he do when Temari and Kankuro are around?"

"Hush!" Kakuzu snarled, crawling over the back of the couch and scaring the beejeebers out of the blond, "Just shut up and maybe we'll find out."

Sakura sighed, bring a hand up to her head, "Yeah, I know. Gaara always wears me out when ever he comes here. Its all I can do not to scream sometimes. It's like he purposely avoids contact just so I have to deal with every little thing he needs."

"The hell?" Hidan frowned, now hanging on the cushions, "whats that supposed to mean?"

"Ano…guys?"

"If we all just SHUT UP maybe she'll say in a minuet." Itachi growled.

"Guys?"

"Shh! Itachi-sama wants us to be quiet, Kisame-san!"

A laugh broke up the conversation, "No, you're the easiest. You just lay there and let me do what ever I want. All you ever do is grunt and say, 'how troublesome'." Another pause, "Yeah, you would think, but I really don't make a lot off of it. I know, I know…I really should charge people more, but they're my friends!"

"Does any one else think this sounds a little wrong?" Hidan asked, shifting uncomfortably.

"I'm sure its nothing…" Kakuzu muttered, though he didn't seem all that sure.

"No, Neji-san is really picky." Sakua continued, "He likes it rough but if I do something he doesn't like he tells me. Fast. What?" The girl looked to the clock and bit her lower lips gently, "Well…yeah, I'm not doing anything today anyways. Come on over a session and bring that book, ok? See ya!" After hanging up the phone, Sakura turned to see all her kittens looking at her with something like horror, "What's wrong?"

"She…did that not sound like...no way…"

"It cant be! She's a top Ninja! They don't do that sort of thing for money!

"Man, I wish I had my body back…"

"Stop it." The oldest Uchiha snapped, "I don't know what that conversation was about but I'm pretty sure it wasn't what your sick minds think! She was probably…just…"

A loud, pathetic wail interrupted him. Sakura jumped off the couch and dove for the floor, "Oh! Jaws, you poor thing! Are you stuck?" another, weaker, more miserable merrrowww answered her, "I am so sorry! I was on the phone with Shikamaru and I didn't even relize you were still down there!"

She lifted the couch and out staggered Kisame, covered in fine gray dustbunnies. He sneezed once, twice, then collapsed in a heap of dust and fur.

Darkkinkachu: Ah me, that was so very short…but people were getting really mad at me and I couldn't take it any more so I just HAD to update. Thanks to the person who told me I should try a phone conversation, I can't look up who it was right now, sorry. But still, Thanks! If you can't tell, it was supposed to be about massages but sound like she was doing something bad. I wasn't in the mood to write something REALLY dirty so I don't know if it was that funny…sorry.

Next up, Bath Time! Shika and a mystery guest! Ano…and some other stuff!

And if one more person curses me or just reviews 'UPDATE!' only, I'll have to bite them…-snaggly grin- Please review!
