Chapter 25

Warmth. The covers of her bed surrounded her in a pile of massive warmth and comfort as she lay in bed, still asleep. The sun's rays started to seep in, and the birds outside sang…a lovely Tuesday morning indeed….

"WAKE UP PINK BITCH!" Yelled our favorite Akatsuki fish man, as the blue guy ripped the covers off Sakura. She let out a shriek of surprise and shot out her hand, trying to find anything to cover herself back up…but found nothing.

Sakura opened her eyes one forth of the way, and squinted at Kisame, who smiled at her with his pointy yellow teeth…ew…

"Fish stick bastard!" She cursed at him. Kisame only chuckled and threw her covers on the floor.

"Well get up, you're running late, kunoichi…"

Sakura's eyes immediately widened and she stared at the shark man in shock. Kisame shrugged.

"What?"

Kisame chuckled again, and left the room, not giving her an answer. Sakura slipped out of bed and continued with her normal routine. When she was done she had on a white tank top with a black bow on each of the straps, black capris with black converse sneakers!

She rushed downstairs, and grabbed the granola bar Mikoto handed her.

"Have a good day at school, Sakura-chan! Ita-chan and Sasu-chan are out in the car waiting!" Mikoto called out to her.

"Okay, thanks, bye!" She rushed up to Itachi's car and got in the back seat, next to Sasuke. In the passenger seat, Kisame was grinning at her.

"So we are all on the same page now, eh?" Kisame said aloud.

"Aa…" Itachi answered softly, driving onto the main road.

"Hn…" Sasuke glared at Itachi's fish friend…he never liked Kisame to begin with…

"And Deidara and Sasori know too….how come the never did anything…? Did they know that we knew?" Sakura asked curiously. Kisame sighed and Itachi glanced at her in his rearview mirror.

"mmm…they knew…Sasori didn't feel like it was necessary to really do anything…and Deidara…well that kid pretty much follows whatever Sasori does…" Kisame explained.

"and Gaara?" This time, Sasuke had asked a question of his own.

"no clue." Itachi stated calmly.

"….is there anyone else that 'remembers'" Sakura asked again. Kisame grunted.

"So many questions, eh Itachi?"

"aa…..not that we know of, Sakura…" Itachi said again. It was silent the rest of the way to school. Once they got there, Itachi parked in his reserved place, and the four got out.

Kisame and Itachi walked ahead of Sasuke and Sakura, and the group blended into the crowd of students on their way into the high school.

Sakura yawned as she walked inside, and headed for her locker…and she noticed Sasuke was following her.

"You can walk beside me you know….that way it doesn't feel like you're stalking me again!" Sakura told him. Sasuke glared but didn't say anything else in response.

Why is he all tense? Sakura wondered. She was a bit surprised when her inner didn't add something of her own and began to unlock her locker.

Sasuke stopped, leaning against the locker next to hers and shifted his feet uncomfortable…

"Sakura…." Sakura paused in the middle of reaching for her Geometry book and looked over at him with a raised eyebrow.

"…?"

"I was wondering--"

"SAKURA-CHAAAAAAAAAAAN!" A shout resounded through the hallway, and in seconds a blonde haired Akatsuki had pounced on Sakura and was currently squishing her to death.

"SAKURA-CHAN! WE HAD A PROJECT AND I DIDN'T DO IT, YEAH!" Deidara cried, anime tears falling down his cheeks as he did so.

Sasuke twitched as he glared at Deidara…

DAMMIT! Doesn't this guy have anything better to do than annoy the hell out of me!?!

"Deidara…stop crying, you look like an idiot…" Sakura craned her head around and saw Sasori giving Deidara an uninterested look. She stared at him for a moment…Right now…he can do jutsus…and has the power to kill me….and yet, he stands there acting as if he is nothing more than…a person…

WAIT A MINUTE! HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE A PUPPET!!!

You're right!

Sakura's sea green eyes drifted down to Sasori's open cloak, where a black tee shirt blocked any view of what could be really there…Her attention went back to Deidara, as the said male released his grasp on her and wiped his tears away.

This time, her eyes lowered to his hands, which were covered….He has mouths under those, doesn't he….

Unknown to Sakura, Sasuke was doing the same thing as she was, observing both of the real Akatsuki members and giving each a curious stare. Sasori furrowed his eyebrows and Deidara smirked.

"Sakura-chan, I know I'm hot, but you're blunt staring is kind of unnerving, yeah…"

Sakura snapped out of it and rolled her eyes.

"You're starting to sound like Hidan!" She exasperated. Deidara pouted.

As Sakura and Deidara started to talk about Hidan, Sasori's brown gaze drifted to the two…he had noticed Sasuke's stare too…and it wasn't hard to figure out what the reason for that was…he knew they were both looking at his chest and Deidara's hands…

Guess the pretending is over…

Sasori gave a lazy smile as he sighed.

"You know, hmm?" Deidara and Sakura stopped talking, and all three heads turned to the puppet master. Deidara's eyes widened.

"Huh?"

"Itachi told you?" Sasori questioned. Sakura nodded, as did Sasuke, both of them understanding what he was asking. Deidara stood confused…

"What….what are you talking about, Danna, yeah? What did Itachi say…?"

Sasori's smile fell into a thin line, and he gave Deidara an 'are you stupid' look.

"Idiot, about our memories…who we really are…" Deidara gasped as soon as Sasori finished his sentence and he turned to Sakura.

"You know, yeah!??!" He asked Sakura, who nodded slowly. Deidara pounced on her again and hugged her, with less force this time.

"FINALLY, YEAH!" Deidara yelled happily. He pulled away, smirking.

"You don't know HOW long I've been waiting for you to figure it out, yeah…." Deidara said. Sakura tilted her head, unsure of what to say to that….

"Hn…." Sasuke said grabbed Sakura's hand and held it. His sharingan were focused on Deidara, who turned to Sasuke. Deidara's blue eye twitched.

"little punk….yeah…" Deidara mumbled under his breath.

"transvestite…." Sasuke mumbled as well as the two shot glares at the other. Sakura sweat dropped.

"Ehem…this has been an interesting morning, but we have to go now, isn't that right, idiot?" Sasori announced, grabbing Deidara by the end of his hair and dragging him away from the two others.

"AH DANNA, MY SHINY SILKY HAIR, YEAH! YOU CAN'T MISTREAT IT LIKE THAT, UN!"

"Then get moving, idiot!"

The two disappeared around the corner, not without Deidara and Sasuke sharing one last death glare at each other, and then in was silent.

Sakura closed her locker door, and shifted her bag on her shoulder.

"Well, that was odd…"

"Hn…."

The first bell rang, and the few students that were left in the hallway were going into their classes….Sakura began to walk to Orochimaru's class but was stopped when Sasuke tugged her backwards, his hand still clasped on hers. She blushed, as she glanced down at their hands…

Stupid duck-head! We're going to be late if we don't move…

"Sakura…." Sasuke stared at her with his deep charcoal gaze, his own mind trying to come up with how to do this….Must focus….must do this, before anyone tries to interrupt again!

Sasuke saw Orochimaru's head peek out of his classroom and began to get a bit panicky, though he didn't show it. Orochimaru caught sight of the two…Sasuke tensed a bit. DAMN! HE'S COMING!

"You will be my girlfriend!" Sasuke exclaimed in a rush before crashing his lips onto Sakura's….

Sakura was startled when Sasuke did that…but she relaxed into it. Mmmmm…..Sasuke is such a great kisser……

HELL YEAH! HE IS TOTALLY OURS! CHA! HE ASKED US OUT TOO! SHANNARO!!!!!!!!

He did? ….hey! No he didn't! He ordered us to be his girlfriend! Fucking possessive, demanding bastard!!! …mmm I'll kick him in his fat head later…

Sasuke, on the other hand, deepened the kiss….and totally forgot about Orochimaru…

"AHEM!" The two pulled apart and looked up at Orochimaru, who stood there with his arms crossed and a dark expression on his face.

Sakura made a disgusted face as she noticed Orochimaru scan Sasuke up and down first….ewwwwww!

"Sasuke-kuuuuuuuun…and….Haruno….DETENTION!" The snake bastard then spun on his heel and returned to his class, with the two following him. Sasuke shuddered. Perverted old man! I killed him once, why can't he just stay dead?!

Sasuke glanced over at Sakura, whose face was a bright red as she silently walked beside him. Sasuke grabbed her hand for a moment, causing her to look up at him.

"We'll continue later…" Sasuke whispered, and then let go of her hand as the two parted to their seats in the biology room. Sakura walked to the back slowly, still in a sort of happy daze…

"Now, back to where I was beginning…So anyway, I told that guy at the counter, 'oh yeah, well I paid 3.99 for that specific white powder, so he better damn well sell it to me at that price!! He was lucky Kabuto was with me…" Orochimaru hand leaned against the black desk, chatting away to his captive audience as if he was gossiping to a good friend…

"Orochimaru, we have the first quarter ending soon, so when are we going to learn something?" Ten ten asked.

"…we are learning…about the importance of our biological world...now shut up and listen! Ahem…as I was saying, Kabuto actually agreed to go out to dinner that night! He was such a gentlemen, but then Kimimaro (sp?) went all, 'Orochimaru-sama, you never called me back!' and I was like, 'don't interrupt me on my date!' and then Kabuto was all 'date?'. I could tell he was soooo blushing and embarrassed!"

I have a feeling this will be a long period….Sakura sighed as she put her head down on the desk and decided that thanks to Chouji, she would be able to safely catch up on sleep without being caught…

At ten minute break, Sakura stopped by her locker, exchanging the books she needed and then went on her way towards the cafeteria. Since there was too big of a crowd the main way, she decided to use the empty hallway to get there…

Suddenly, a hand shot out from one of the classrooms, and dragged her inside, before locking the door. Sakura stumbled a bit and when she finally got her balanced she looked up at the face of one arrogant Uchiha Sasuke…

"What the hell, chicken-butt? You could of just met me at my locker if you wanted to see me…"

"Tch."

Sasuke smirked and then started to walk up to her. Sakura gave him a puzzled look and backed up into the wall as he came closer and closer. Soon, she had nothing else to back into and just looked up at Sasuke unsurely.

"sasuke?"

"hmmmm no –kun, anymore……good, it was annoying, anyway." Sasuke commented, and kissed her. Sakura kissed back, enjoying the moment.

WOWIE! TWO KISSES IN ONE DAY FROM SASUKE-KUN! WE'RE THE BEST!!

Mhm….

Sakura had placed her arms around Sasuke's neck, and combed her fingers in his hair as he continued to kiss her…he held her with one arm around her waist and the other supported his leaning frame…

"ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS!" the loud announcement blasted onto the speakers in everyroom, including the one our two lover birds were currently in, and made each of them jump about six feet.

"LOCK DOWN!" The voice on the speakers boomed. Sakura's face twisted in concern and confusion. What?

"Damn, its one of those lock down drills…we should probably just stay in here…." Sasuke said, as he walked over to the door and closed it. He turned off the lights in the room, the only light source came from the window and he led Sakura behind the teacher's desk, which deemed to be the safest and only real place to hide.

"I don't get it…"

"It's for school safety, here…whenever someone enters the school building without permission or if they are in some way a threat, the school announced lockdown, and then all the teachers lock their doors, and the students hide inside the classrooms…"

"But the bell didn't ring for the end of ten minute break…"

"…it rang two minutes ago…" Sakura stared at Sasuke…they've been in here for over ten minutes?!

It was quite for a moment…and then they both heard it…

"…is that...gun shots?!" Sakura whispered in alarm. Sasuke stayed silent…

The sound came closer as they heard what seemed to have been glass shattering…

"It sounded like they shot threw the glass doors in the senior quart yard…" Sasuke whispered…Sakura turned to him, terrified.

"This class is right down the hall from it, Sasuke! We don't even have this room locked!"

"…We have an advantage though…" Sasuke turned to Sakura, smirking.

"We aren't ninja for nothing, Sakura…"

Sakura blinked…well, that made her feel painfully stupid…

"but what about the guns…?"

"If we play our cards right, they'll be useless to stop our jutsu…" Sasuke answered, and then rose from his spot on the floor. The door knob on the classroom was rattling.

"katon: gokakyu-no-jutsu…" Sasuke said quietly as the door opened, and blew out a plume of fire from his mouth, taking the stranger off guard…

After the flame stopped, Sakura and Sakura looked over at the clearing smoke….When it parted a cloaked figure came into view…

"good thing Zetsu-san gave Tobi the fire-proof cloak this morning!"

"Tobi?!?" Sakura cried out in disbelief. The kid had his orange mask on, with a plain black cloak-which he self-proclaimed to be an 'akatsuki in training cloak'…

"Heheh! Deidara is on a rampage this morning! He sent his little birdies through the school and made them explode!!" Tobi informed them, dusting off the ash on his cloak.

"…wait, is that why we are on lockdown?" Sasuke demanded.

"Sakura! This guy is scary!" Tobi cried out when Sasuke's deadly glare was set on him. Tobi had hid behind a desk and was peeking over the top of it. Sasuke growled and Sakura sighed.

"Tobi…answer the question…"

"Yes! Deidara was testing security…Leader said so! Leader said, 'we need to make sure this school is safe enough! We got a mafia group out in search for us, so we need to test the security!' and then he ordered Deidara to run the test!"

Sakura twitched.

"A…mafia group is after Akatsuki…?"

"YEAH! Hidan went with Kakuzu to do business, and Hidan ended up cursing out each one of them bosses…so now they want to kill Hidan and our group…"

"What did Hidan say to them?"

"…he told them Akatsuki doesn't need fat, pig looking chunks to help with our fundings…He told them that because one of the men made fun of Hidan's hair…"

Sakura sighed. Wonderful…

"Don't worry Sakura! They don't know you are in our group, since you are new and all!" Tobi reassured her.

"Now that you told us, leave…" Sasuke growled from behind Sakura. Tobi shuddered under the intense gaze and quickly left.

"Stupid…"

"Well, at least we know nothing particularly life threatening is happening, now…" Sakura stated.

"hn…." Sasuke wrapped his arms around Sakura's waist from behind and rested his forehead on her shoulder.

"Might as well get back to class…." Sakura suggested…even though she didn't really care to go to class, it was required….

"aa….." Sasuke spun Sakura around and pecked her on the lips quickly.

"Now, to english…" Sasuke said in a whisper as the two walked to Kurenai's room…

"Sakura-chaaaaan, you still remember where Leader's house is, yeah?" Deidara asked Sakura, who was leaning against her car, waiting for Sasuke to come out.

"yupe!" Sakura chirped. Deidara smiled and waved as he and Sasori walked away. Sakura sighed. Where was this kid?!

"Hey, Sa-ku-ra…" Sakura raised an eyebrow and turned around to face Ino and her two slutty followers glaring at her. She crossed her arms over her chest and waited for them to speak again.

"We saw what you did, Haruno!" The brown haired fan girl snapped.

"YEAH! You CAN'T have Sasuke-kun! He's OURS!" Added the black haired one.

Sakura smirked. Idiots…Ino's glare deepened when she saw the amusement in Sakura's eyes…

"What's so funny?" Ino growled.

"You're face!" Sakura replied happily. Getting fed up with Sakura's smirks, Ino lounged forward.

Unfortunately for her, Sakura was faster, and grabbed Ino by her hair and her skirt, and threw her in the opposite direction. Ino screamed, causing a lot of people to turn their heads as she landed hard on top of…GAARA!

They both fell to the ground, and when Ino opened her eyes, she found herself…covered in sand?

"What the hell!?" She shrieked, shaking it away from her. Gaara, who was perfectly unharmed, unlike the blonde who has scratched and a few cuts, had Sand at his feet where he stood.

"SAKURA, YOU ARE SO DEAD!" Ino shouted, as she ran away from the twitching Gaara and went back to kick some ass.

"Bring it, bitch!" Ino came up and tried to punch Sakura in the jaw, but Sakura ducked, last moment and swung her leg around to knock Ino off her feet. Ino hissed as grabbed Sakura by her ankle, digging her manicured nails into Sakura's skin.

"Dammit!" Sakura shook off the blonde and then, picked her up by the back of her shirt. Ino stared wide eyed as Sakura lifted her other hand, and brought it up to Ino. With one flick of her finger, Ino was tossed back into the dirt again, twisting her foot as she landed…

Ino sat up, with her brows furrowed in pain and frustration, as well as confusion.

"You're…You're a FREAK!" Ino cried out as she clutched her leg. Sakura watched Ino through narrowed eyes as Ino's two followers went to her side to help her on her feet.

Sakura walked up to the three girls, all of them looked at her nervously when she stopped in front of them.

"For your information, Sasuke is MINE, skanks. Try and harass me or my boyfriend again, and I'll make sure you have to be carried out of my sight." Sakura warned venomously. Ino glared hard at her, but didn't say a word as her two other frightened fan girl members helped her limp away.

"So, I belong to you now?" Sakura turned around to face Sasuke who gave her a questioning and rather amused look. She snorted.

"Why would I want someone as conceitedly ignorant like you?" Sakura walked past him to get to her car…

"mmmm, liar…" Sasuke stated smugly as he trapped her in his arms.

"…nur…" Sakura sighed defeated. He was right…that and she couldn't think of anything to come up with…so she let him pulled her back and kiss her again…

I could get used to this!

Tch, annoying. Go away…

Awrr but Sasuke-kuuun! How could you? After all I've done, you're going to just shove me away as if I don't matter?!

…aa…

BASTARD!!!

"mmmmmmm…mkay, okay…We can't stand here all day!" Sakura said as she pulled away from Sasuke.

"I could…"

"Sasuke! Let's go." Sakura pried his hands off of her, having to use some of her chalkra to do so due to his strong grip and opened the car door. Sasuke sighed in irritation but went to the passenger side of the car anyway.

Sakura shut her car door and looked up at the mansion in front of her. Leader's house…well, it was kind of hard NOT to find such a huge place like this one…

She walked up to the walkway, and rang the doorbell. Ralph answered, giving her a smile before opening the door for her to enter. She didn't need help finding the meeting room, and with slight eagerness, skipped down the stairs to the room.

She heard Deidara whining somewhere, and the DDR game was blasting…

"I am SO going to own you at this!" Kisame shouted above the noise level coming from the machine. Zetsu grunted, and the two continued at it with that dance game…meanwhile…

"DANNA! I wasn't planning to DO anything bad with the play-doh, yeah!" Deidara was trying to reach the play doh container that Sasori had lifted out of his reach…

"That's not what happened last time…" Sasori replied.

"ITS JUST PLAY-DOH, so GIVE IT BACK, YEAH!"

"hey look it's Sakura…"

"SAKURA-CHAN!" Deidara immediately forgot about the play-doh and ran like a bat out of hell towards the pink haired girl. Sasori shook his head and tossed the play doh behind one of the couches before going over to Sakura as well.

"SAKURA-CHAN! You smell like that brat, yeah…" Deidara pouted as he let her go from his grasp. Sakura rolled her eyes.

"FUCKERS!" The three turned their gaze to a white-silver haired Hidan who was currently glaring at the tv screen which displayed GAME OVER. He threw down his control in rage and whipped his head to Kakuzu.

"YOU! YOU CHEATED YOU SUNNOVA BITCH" Hidan grabbed the nearest object, in this case being a fork, and proceeded to stab poor Kakuzu repeatedly.

"ZETSU-SAN! HIDAN IS TRYING TO KILL KAKUZU AGAIN!" Tobi called out, jumping up and down, while pointing to the two.

Zetsu, being finished with the DDR game, looked over lazily.

"they'll live."

Kakuzu by now, took control of Hidan's rampage by grabbing his silver chain and yanking on it hard enough to choke the platinum haired teen.

"Shut up, moron…"

"fblehg!"

"AHEM!" The room grew silent as all the Akatsuki eyed the landing, where the leader and the Unknown stood. Leader walked over to the end of the table in the middle of the room and sat. On cue everyone rushed over and took their respective places…

Hidan glared heavily at Kakuzu, while rubbing his now red neck…Sakura took a place in between Sasori and Deidara while the Unknown grabbed a file from on top of the tv and went to sit next to Leader.

Leader coughed again, before glaring at each and every Akatsuki member intensely. When he was satisfied he snatched the file from the Unknown and opened it.

"Kakuzu! How is our current balance…" Demanded Leader. Kakuzu straightened slightly.

"…we have 600 dollars.."

"EXCELLENT!"

"…but it was stolen five minutes ago by some random person in a taco suit, so now we have…thirty three cents…"

Leader eyed Kakuzu, whose expression did not change.

"a guy….in a taco suit? A TACO SUIT?!!" Leader pounded a fist on the table as he stood up, glaring at the Akatsuki treasurer.

"just HOW are WE supposed to obtain world domination if my organizations being run by complete and utter FOOLS?!" Leader raged.

No one answered this question and watched as Leader sighed and sat down, rubbing his temples.

"taco suit….DAMN THOSE TACOS!"

"Leader, your blood pressure…"

"FUCK BLOOD PRESSURE! I'M 18, GODDAMMIT!" He barked at the Unknown who blinked.

"Tobi thinks we should have a cookie fund raiser!" Tobi called out cheerfully. He was oblivious to the amount of glares and odd stares he got in response. Leader stared at Tobi…

"Who the hell invited you here?"

Tobi immediately became stiff…A sweat drop appeared on just about everyone's head.

"…I brought five dollars…"

"FINE! You may stay…for now. Kakuzu! Take the money! AND DON'T LET IT GET STOLEN AGAIN! TACOS OR NO TACOS!"

Kakuzu took the money Tobi handed to him and put it in the cloud shaped piggy bank before focusing back at the Leader.

"Anyway...As you all know, the test run of our 'security system' at the high school failed…so, you all must carry a weapon with you at all times!"

"To ensure safety…" The Unknown added.

"yes…I got some Katanas I bought off ebay in the closet, or you could make your own…do whatever…" The Leader said with a shrug. Small murmurs filled the room before being hushed down again.

"Zetsu…have you disposed of…" Leader looked down at the piece of paper on his file.

"…Dosu…..Dosu?"

"no…"

"Well, what are you waiting for? Eat him already!" Leader reprimanded. Zetsu blinked.

"I tried…Orochimaru caught me though…"

"damn…I hate that man…Someone take care of him then, so that Zetsu can eat Dosu…" The table grew quiet again…

"But, Leader…Orochimaru is just plain creepy, yeah!" Deidara whined.

"Well then, Itachi, you take care of him!"

"Why me…"

"Because everytime you appear, he freaks out. NO MORE QUESTIONS! THIS MEETING IS OVER!" Leader got up from his chair and went upstairs, followed by the Unknown. Deidara leaned back in his chair, and eyed Itachi.

"Heh, sucks to be you, yeah!"

Itachi narrowed his eyes at Deidara…

"Oi, Itachi, look what I got for everyone!!" The rest of the Akatsuki looked up at Kisame who pulled out a card board box from no where.

"TA DA! MY WEAPON!" He shouted, pulling out his trusty ol' samehada!

"How did you find it?" Itachi asked calmly. Kisame ran a blue hand down the handle of his sword as he grinned.

"Eh, it was under my bed…"

"OH! And I also have…" Kisame dug into the box some more and finally pulled out a black tee shirt and showed it to everyone.

"I have one for everyone! SAVE THE WHALES!" Kisame chuckled as he passed the size Medium to Sakura, who seemed to accept it happily and then to Sasori, who made no comment…

"It should say, 'Feed the Birds', yeah!" Deidara pouted as the shirt landed on his head.

"Too bad."

Kisame handed Kakuzu and Zetsu one as well as Tobi, who immediately put the shirt over his cloak and began running around asking for Zetsu to comment on how the shirt looked on him…poor kid…

"I am NOT taking that fuckin lame shirt!" Hidan hissed. Kisame's grinned dropped and a frown took its place. His eyes began to get smaller and smaller as a shadow covered them, giving him a scary appearance.

"Just take the damn shirt!"

Hidan's violet eyes widened as he looked up at Kisame, who seemed to be now reaching for his Samehada on his back right about now. Hidan growled and snatched the shirt from the fish man.

"stupid fish..i HATE fish…."

Kisame walked past him to give Itachi one and then ran away to go find Leader and leave him and the unknown a shirt of their own, too.

The following events after the meeting weren't much more interesting. Sakura mainly chatted and watched as Hidan lost every game he played and laughed at Deidara who would try to beat up Tobi every time Tobi tried to 'hit on' Sakura….

"Sakura! Want to listen to the music with Tobi?" Tobi asked sweetly as he grabbed both of her hands and waited. Deidara fumed.

"NO TOUCHING SAKURA-CHAN, YEAH!" Deidara exclaimed as he slapped Tobi's hand away. Tobi gave a small cry and rubbed his hands.

"Tobi just wants to play with Sakura…."

"DON'T PLAY STUPID WITH ME, YEAH! I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO! AND THE NERVE OF HITTING ON HER RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF ME, YEAH!" Deidara pulled out a chunk of clay from his hip pouch and chucked it at Tobi's head.

"AH! Deidara-sempai! Why are you being so mean to Tobi?!"

Sasori, in the meantime, took the opportunity to steal Sakura away as the two 'idiots' continued on with their own little conversation.

For the rest of the night, Sakura talked to Sasori, mostly about their past shinobi lives and how their current life was going so far. When they got tired, the Akatsuki all lined up their sleeping bags on the floor, with the exception of Sakura and Sasori, who thought it would be more comfortable to sleep on the couches. Deidara, though, quickly placed himself right on the carpet next to Sakura's couch…

Across the room, Kisame and Itachi had settled down in their own corner, closer to Hidan and Kakuzu and Zetsu. Itachi was watching Sakura as the girl laughed along with Deidara…

Sakura smiled beautifully before closing her eyes…Itachi waited until she had fell asleep before he himself let his eyes rest…

(Sasori) –looks at chisel with blank face-

(Sasuke) I AM NOT A DUCK, AND I HATE DUCKS! –throws at Itachi-

(Itachi) –glares- Go bessy…stomp on that foolish brother of mine…-cow goes over and runs Sasuke over a billion times-

(Sakura) –eating chocolate- I should probably help him….

(Kisame) NO! You should admire my shiny awesome folder…SAVE THE WHALES!

(Hinata) –blushes- o-okay, Naruto-kun…

(Zetsu) Tobi, be a good boy and shut up…

(Tobi) YES! Tobi is…Tobi is…A good boy…-shuts up-

OOO

Pinkshadows: (itachi) perhaps I don't but, still….anywho, the people that are currently from the shinobi world that we know of are: Gaara, me, Kisame, Sasori, Deidara, Sasuke, and Sakura…

Angel-temptations: (Deidara) YAY! YOU FORGIVE ME, YEAH! –hugs- WHOO HOO! MORE AWESOME STUFF, YEAH!

Mrs.Weasel-Fan: (Sasori) Shocked?

(Deidara) YUPE! It's the REAL us, yeah!

(Itachi) hn…

(Deidara) Well, there is no real akatsuki to be serious about here, yeah…but Tobi is still an idiot, yeah!

(Sasori) idiot…

(Sasuke) –rolls eyes- tch, annoying weasel-fan…..

Lovelesskunoichi: (Sakura) So far all the people that are all from the shinobi world, or remember it at least, are myself, Sasuke-kun, Itachi, Deidara, Sasori, Kisame and Gaara. And as for how this is all happening…well, we stated our theories, but if I were to reveal the real reason, it would mean revealing the end of the story! SO! You'll have to wait until the next/last two chapters to find that part out!

(Sasuke) …see, I start to talk and then people ridicule me…its like a no win situation…

(Sakura) But now its better that you talk more, Sasuke!

(Sasuke)…only because I don't have a reputation to stand by here in this freaky world…

(Sakura) so if we had to go back, you would start to be all isolated-ish again?

(Sasuke) aa…

(Sakura) NO YOU DUCK YOU CAN'T DO THAT! –punches him out of love-

(Sasuke) DAMMIT!

(Sakura) oops…

(Sasuke) grrrr..-glares-

(Sakura) hahaha, cockatoo!

(Sasuke) –deepens glare- I DO NOT LOOK LIKE A COCKATOO!

(Sakura) But your hair does! –laughs-

(sasuke) I hate you all….

Michico1234: (Itachi) well, she is different…and she is the first person who wasn't all 'run away and scream' or go all fan girly when she saw me…

(Sasuke) Well she is my baby ma—I mean, just…MINE! So stay away!

(Itachi) –squints-

(Deidara) WHOO HOO MORE PLAY DOH, YEAH!

(Sasori) cookies? –walks up to it with really big eyes…then does the shifty eyes before grabbing a cookie and shoves it down his throat-

(Deidara) Sasori-no-danna?

(Sasori) –steals all the cookies and puts it in the empty space in his puppet stomach before turning around- What…

(Deidara) Where'd all the cookies go, yeah?

(Sasori) I have no idea…

(Deidara) oh….-looks suspiciously at Sasori's stomach, and then his face with cookie crumbs on it.- Did you eat them, yeah?

(Sasori) I don't know what you are talking about, idiot.

(Deidara) heheh, Danna's one weakness…COOKIES, YEAH!

(Sasori) SHUT UP! –throws play doh can at Deidara's head-

(Itachi) I think I'll just take this…-takes mochas and walks away-

(Tobi) YAY! HUGS! –hugs back with an unseen smile-

SheildmaidenofEdoras373: (Deidara) Its okay, at least you reviewed now, yeah! –hugs- yes many seem to have remembered…well, here is the newest chapter, yeah!

Cnguyen456: (Itachi) Yes, well…they were interfering…but hopefully my foolish little brother will prove himself by defeating them, otherwise……hn…

(Deidara) AH, don't worry Itachi, I won't hurt him…too much, yeah! Hehe, plus he's a brat!

BYE! –hugs-

Sasusaku74: (sakura) Yeah well….heh, about that…It's just, I've been kinda rusty…being away from ninja missions and the shinobi world got me a little too relaxed…oh well.

(Itachi) …yeah well, what can you do…

Kisame fish sticks: (Sasuke) HEY! You can't just slap me like that! I can't exactly trust my brother, or ever be grateful to someone like him! I trusted him once, and what did he do? Butchered my entire family..

(Itachi) I had my reasons…

(Sasuke) FUCK YOU!

(Itachi) …okay…well that went well.

(Gai) I realized that with my handsome youthful face and awesome-abilities I should be in this story more…

(Kakashi) The reason he isn't is because he is creepy

(Gai) Oh Kakashi, no need to be jealous, I know my awesomeness is almost too much for you to handle! Like my team…They have prepared for weeks for that upcoming match against your team, and I know they will win!

(Kakashi) Hmm? Did you say something? –looking up from book-

(Gai) OH KAKASHI!!!!!!!!! WHY MUST YOU BE SO HIP!!!!!

(Kakashi) O.o

(Sasuke) –runs past the two adults with the tomato you gave him-

(Deidara) WOOT! MORE PLAY-DOH, YEAH!

(Sasori) Idiot….why must you reviewers keep giving him that stupid stuff!?!

Lost-sacrament: (Sakura and Sasuke) –blush-

(Itachi) hehehe…

Lil sakura haruno: (deidara) YAY! You love me! –huggles- hehe

End of Special Thanks!

Sasori: Okay people, well, the author wants to apologize to the reviewers for having this updated so late. Due to tons of school projects, the lack of free time, and of course, the horrible summer heat over here, it caused the delay. But, hopefully you enjoy this chapter! There is possibly one or two more left in the story—

Deidara: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Sasori: O.o

Deidara: THERE CAN'T BE, yeah! It's too soon!

Sasori: …its been like, 25 chapters now…

Deidara: STILL!

Sasori: Well, the author IS making more stories. Like, an alternate ending to this one, and then mini stories based off of this one….

Deidara: Am I in it, yeah?

Sasori: …yes?

Deidara: OKAY THEN, YEAH! As long as this whole entire mystery is solved! I still have no idea why me and you were transported to this weird dimension anyway, yeah!

Sasori: It will come…it will come…

Sakura: Thank you all for reading and reviewing! And again, sorry about the long wait!

Kisame: SAVE THE WHALES!

Sakura: errr..right. So review and continue reading! ARIGATOU, MINNA-SAN!!
