Karui was leaping from roof to roof, not paying attention to the people below slowly moving through the street going about their day. 'That-that Bastard!' She was fuming. Just when she thought that maybe the asshole wasn't so bad, he pulls that. 'What the hell was that anyway?'

She stopped to jump down from a roof and land in front of the hotel. 'Oh no.' Suddenly her thoughts went back to the reason why she was at the Uchiha compound.

She had been so wrapped up in the mess with the sharingan user that she completely forgot. She ran into the building, leaping up the stairs. When she got to the door of the room where she was supposed to be, she stood still taking a deep breath before opening the door. She walked inside closing the door behind her when she turned around Samui and Omoi were standing in front of her. Neither one moved as if waiting for her to say something.

"Hey."

"Hey. Bee-sama goes missing, then you go missing, you finally show up and all you have to say is; hey?" Omoi said though he didn't seem as angry as she thought he'd be.

"Is he O.K? Did you find him?" The redhead asked avoiding Samui's gaze. She was definitely upset.

"Yeah, apparently he and Naruto went to go train in some secluded area of the village and he was getting sick of us following him everywhere." He answered staring at their senior member for a moment before sending her a sympathetic look.

"Where have you been?" Samui said eyes gazing down at her.

"I got caught in the rain so I waited it out, I guess I mustve fallen asleep cause the next thing I know it was morning." She said giving Samui a sheepish grin, tucking some loose hair into her bandanna.

"Where."

"Where what?" Karui asked knowing fully well what the blond meant, but trying to buy some time. 'Shit what do I say?!'

"Where did you wait out the rain?" Karui pushed past the two taking off her shoes and then headed towards the kitchen, opening the fridge.

"Karui answer me and don't lie." Samui said in a stern voice. Karui took a deep breath, she couldn't lie to her even if she wanted to. She did have chakra sensory abilities after all, she'd be able to tell if Karui was lying.

"You know this isn't my fault." She said standing up straight closing the fridge.

"Oh no..."

"Where were you?"

Omoi threw his head back while Samui pinched the bridge of her nose. Strangely they all got the feeling of de ja vu.

Karui walked back to the table they were all sitting at before and slumped into her seat. The rest of her team joined her taking their old seats. "I-I was at... I was at the Uchiha compound." She cast her head down in shame and waited for,

"YOU WERE WHERE!" Omoi said in shock

"Karui I thought I told you not to go after him!" Samui said shock less evident in her face.

"I didn't! I was searching for Bee-sama when I got to this abandoned compound, so I go inside and start looking around. Next thing I know Uchiha is there looking smug. So we get into an argument and..."

Karui stopped, thinking about the conversation she had with Sasuke the previous night feeling guilt build up inside. "And?" Samui asked staring at the redhead.

"And then it started raining." She answered quickly.

"So how did you end up staying there?" Omoi asked twirling the lollipop in his mouth. Karui looked down feeling the shame take its full toll.

"He said I could spend the night."

"Wait he offered?" Samui asked Karui nodded

"And you accepted?" Omoi asked in disbelief, she nodded again.

"And then what?" They two blond team mates asked in unison.

"I spent the night and then I left this morning."

"That's it nothing els happened?" The blond female asked trying to wrap her mind around what she just heard. After all they were under the impression that the fiery kunoichi despised the Uchiha heir and now, she spends the night at his house.

Karui looked down feeling her cheeks heat up as she remembered the events that happened that morning.

She woke up, wrapped in a blanket she didn't remember pulling over herself. Then went to find him, give her thanks and leave. When she finally found him in the kitchen, she was surprised to see him standing there. Shirtless.

Not that she's never seen a man half or even completely naked before. Once when Omoi had annoyed her to her limits and he fled to the men's onsen. She had charged in after him giving no attention to the surprised yelps and protests she received from the onsens other occupants, as she pummeled her teammate into the dirt.

Its not like she liked the Uchiha. Its just that.

'I'M NOT BLIND DAMN IT!' And he's definitely one fine male specimen. So when she stood there in the doorway it took every bit of will power she had to focus on his face and speak up.

Of course he just had to notice just how akward he was making her and rub it in her face.

"Yeah that's it." Karui said after mulling through everything that happened that morning. Besides technically she wasn't lying, she was just leaving out some details that weren't important anyway.

Luckily Samui didn't notice her little omission and just kept staring at the wall. Omoi however saw the emotions changing on her face, "So why did you agree to stay there? It rains in Kumo all the time and it wouldn't have taken you long to get back here."

Karui froze not knowing how to answer that question so she said the first thing that came to mind. "I felt sorry for him." This made Samui's eyes snap back towards the redhead, "What, why?"

"He lives there alone. His entire family is dead, it seemed like a good idea at the time." Samui nodded an understanding look filling her face. She knew how Karui felt when it came to family, so she decided that her answer was enough. Omoi on the other hand didn't.

"Don't tell me your going soft on him." He said raising an eyebrow, Karui started sputtering some incoherent nonsense.

Omoi continued, "What if you fall for him completely and turn into one of his fan girls. Would you scream and squeal like they do whenever someone mentions his name. I can just see you walking around all love struck, muttering Sasuke-kun. Clinging to him for dear sweet li-" Karui leaped over the table and started strangling the boy while their senior captain just sat there chuckling at them.

"I DON'T LIKE HIM!" The redhead screamed slamming the blond boy's head into the floor.

'I don't like him!... right?' She started losing a little momentum, Samui caught the look of confusion that flashed in her face and grinned knowingly.
