Ok. Do you people REALLY want to know why I haven't updated in ever???? No you don't, since the explanation is insanely long, and it involves broken laptops, lost work, procrastination, and revolving doors. Oh ya, sorry it's so short again…

Neji screamed. Like really loudly. And every one quieted down. Even Gubydal was quiet.

"Neji, did you just scream?"

There was an awkward silence.

"Whatever, back to destroying you and your pride in the most honorable way imaginable… A THUMB WAR!!" Gubydal screeched.

Tenten, who was hyper beyond belief now, was beginning to speak in chat speak.

"WTF!? Wat the hel iz dis shit!? Nvm, i wanta cola - ASAP!"

Neji grabbed Tenten and attempted to get them through the crowd of Hyuugas. Once, they were about to get caught, but fortunately Tenten scared everyone away by hissing. Unfortunately for Gubydal, she couldn't move very fast since she was so big. And Hiashi was now going through a phase of schizophrenia and was rocking around in a dark corner. Oook… 0.o

So, technically, Neji and Tenten were safe for now. FOR NOW…

"Hey Neji, why are we hiding? I mean, it's just a freaking thumb war!" Tenten said as she balanced on her head in a cave that Neji had so conveniently found.

"You don't know what you're talking about. In ancient times, the Hyuuga family used to have ULTIMATE THUMB WARS WITH LADYBUGS!!! No, seriously, people used to DIE daily!!!"

"…"

"IT'S TRUE!!!" Neji insisted.

"The itsy-bitsy spider, went up the…" Tenten sang in response.

So, Neji decided to take the drastic move and take matters in his own hands. Dun dun dun… He decided to team up with the only group that would be able to ever save them. Akatsuki.


So, a couple of hours later, Neji found himself sitting in Akatsuki's comfortable waiting room. He had also brought Tenten with him, who was having strange hallucinations.

"Neji, why are you a camel?" she asked.

All he could do was pat her head.

A friendly looking man-eating plant was typing at a computer behind the reception desk.

"So… Neji, right?" the plant said in a sweet and blood-thirsty voice. "You have an appointment with Leader-sama iiiiiiiiiiiin approximately 87 seconds."

"That's it?" Neji asked.

"Well," the receptionist replied, "As you can see, we are not very busy people on Wednesdays."

"But today is Fri—"

"I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT. Thank you."

Neji sank back into his chair. Wow, it was so easy getting in contact with Akatsuki. I mean, all you had to do was look them up in the phone book. They even had an ad posted in the famous magazine "Villains International". Why Neji had a copy of that magazine… no one will ever know…

Suddenly something occurred to Neji. If it was this easy to get to Akatsuki, why was Sasuke still having such a hard time trying to find his brother?


Sasuke stood at the edge of the Akatsuki waiting room. He had been waiting to be let in by Leader-sama for TWO YEARS, when everyone else had thought that he had gone to Orochimaru. But the truth was, he had been waiting in the shadowy corner for ever, just to discuss with Leader-sama about his proposition to kill Itachi. Two years…

Another sudden realization hit Neji. Sasuke had been standing a in a random dark corner ever since Neji and Tenten had walked in.

'How long has he been sitting there?' Neji thought.

The friendly murderous looking plant thing interrupted his thoughts though.

"Leader-sama will see you now."

DUN DUN DUN….
