"Where's Naruto?" Kankuro had heard some screaming a little after entering the house. He, Temari, and Kakashi came home together. Kakashi went directly inside while Kankuro and Temari stayed outside for a while so they could properly check the security. When they came in, they only saw Sakura in the living room, followed by the end of a scream and a large thud. He knew it was Naruto, but just needed to make sure.

"Kakashi went into his room." Well that explained everything. Sakura needed to explain no more for everyone in the house has already been through the horror of entering Naruto's territory before they were allowed. It was his own sanctuary for when he was in this state. Everyone except Sasuke and Kakashi has already been given entrance, but they only use it when necessary. Now that he thinks about it, "Where's Sasuke?"

Kankuro waited for a reply, but Sakura just pointed toward the hallway. She had a mischievous glint in her eye, but Kankuro was oblivious to it. She foresaw this coming. Ever since she touched Sasuke on their first day, she knew that they were attached.

Kankuro went toward the hallway, but stopped in the kitchen where he saw Gaara, Neji, and Iruka attending to Kakashi. He thinks it would probably be safer to ask them instead of finding out himself.

"Where's Sasuke?"

"He's with Naruto in his room."

"Huh?" Kankuro was dumbfounded on why Naruto had let in Sasuke so easily. "Why?"

"'Cause." Gaara was not one for explaining, and when he said that, it meant, 'None of your business.' It is not good to get on Gaara's bad side.

Kankuro nodded and went to get something to drink. He got out a bottle of coke and asked if they wanted any. Everyone except Kakashi answered a yes, but Iruka made him drink it anyway, to help with his headache. Kankuro went to his room and fished out his laptop.

"How long 'till lockdown?" Temari questioned as she entered the kitchen with Sakura. There were clicking sounds from Kankuro typing on his laptop, but it was mostly quiet until Kankuro answered.

"Based on earlier years, 2-4 days, depending on how each of them are. The censors in the house will automatically react on their chemical balances and put every room on lockdown until they re-stabilized."

"Alright. Are they're food in their rooms already?"

"Yea. Gaara was able to put everything in the rooms a little while ago," Iruka answered as he put a bag of ice on Kakashi's head. "Could you guys get the medicine and ointment from your rooms?" He asked Gaara and Neji. Sakura walked in and asked her to bring her bag towels and cotton swabs. They left and the other four were left in the kitchen. A comfortable silence settled in between all of them as Kankuro kept clicking away at his laptop.

…

…

…

"Uh-oh." Everyone's head popped up to look at Kankuro.

"What do you mean uh-oh?" Asked Temari as she stood straight from leaning against the doorframe.

"This can't be right. It's too soon."

"What's happening." Kakashi didn't ask, he demanded for answers.

At that moment, sirens from within the house went off. Kankuro's face went urgent as he frantically clicked away on the keyboard. Right after the sirens started, metal blinds went down, all the doors locked, and bars went off everywhere.

"I thought you said it wouldn't start for another couple of days!" Temari yelled out over the sirens. There was fear in her voice, but Kankuro was too concentrated figuring everything out to notice.

"I did! I don't know why it's happening now!" Kankuro was straining his voice, as he was never a loud child. A few moments passed before Kankuro spoke again. "It's too late. The process can't be reversed."

Sakura

Sakura was in her room and went to her drawer to get what Iruka asked of her. Once she got the item, the sirens went off. She knew it was too soon, so she tried to dash for the door, but it was slammed shut. She was stuck, and she won't be getting out for a while.

Neji

Neji flew up to the top shelf in his room, but as the sirens went off, he just went back onto the floor. Everything was closed off, and his floor started to sink. His ceiling was getting higher so he could move, but now he was trapped.

Gaara

As soon as he entered the room, the doors closed and the sirens went off. The sirens hurt his ears, but the lights were starting to dim. It was the beginning, and he knew it.

Naruto and Sasuke

As soon as the sirens went off, the both jolted up. Naruto saw the door starting to close, but was too late. The door was shut, and a new door appeared. This door only leads to a bathroom, but as far as one could tell, there was no escape.

"Damn," Naruto cursed. He didn't want to be on lock down so soon. He thought that he had more time. He felt Sasuke sit up and look at him.

"What's going on?"

…

…

…

"Naruto…" His voice was demanding yet wasn't dangerous.

"… Lock down."

Kankuro and others

"Who's it coming from?!" Yelled out Iruka. He was worried and confused.

"Let me check." There was a slight silence before Kankuro found the source. "It's coming from Naruto's room!"

The sirens got louder, so the others barely caught what he said.

"Sasuke's in there with him." Stated Kakashi as he slowly changed position. The other three peoples' heads went up in realization. Their thought was voiced in unison.

"SHIT!"
