Author's Note:

First off, I would like to apologize that I haven't put up another chapter for a long time... I believe not for about 4 months, & personally I find that unacceptable of me to do that to all of you. I can't really say I have an excuse, 'cause I don't. Well I do, but there would be no point 'cause they aren't good ones. But anyway, I'll just list what my "excuses" are: homework, religion classes on Wednesday, guitar practice on Monday, & the fact that I am a very forgetful person.

I had even planned on writing the next chapter for this over Christmas Break, but like I said, I am forgetful, & obviously I had forgotten. But now I have a four day weekend, so I'm going to make up for lost time & give you all what you've wanted... another chapter! :DD

Though I apologize ahead of time, if it's not as good as the first seven, since I haven't written a FanFiction in awhile, though I have continued to write, so it might not end up as bad as I'm making it seem like it will be. :/

***Though last time I had you all decide out of five options, which one's you would like to see in this next chapter, so here's what you had decided.***

1. (The group run into the Akatsuki and hang with them. Sakura and Pein finally get to talk, and Sasuke possibly gets jealous a bit.) - 7

2. (Sakura runs into Karin and the bitch crew, and she gets into a fight with them.) - 7

3. (A small mall-brawl between Itachi and Sasori. Guess over what. Yep. Yuki-chan.) - 2

4. (Sakura gets to know TenTen and Temari, plus Ino and the rest of the guys.) - 2

5. (Ino threatens Sakura because she knows she likes Sasuke.) - 5

***So with that, I will most definitely have 1, 2, & 5 in the next chapter. :) & since I still had two people that also wanted 3 & 4 as well, I will put a little bit of each of those into the chapter, too. :)***

& I hope with that decided, that the next chapter is to your liking. & just so you know, I'm posting this, & then beginning on the next chapter. So ta-ta.. for now! ;DD
