Hi. Sorry I was gone. I've been SUPER BUSY with X-country and perhaps basketball if I get up enough courage to sign up, but I found enough time between homework and my hectic schedule to supertype this. Who knew it was gonna be this much work...

I DON'T OWN. WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS. Now, I must go cry in a corner.


After several more sadly hilarious hours of explosions, the sun had started to rise, and everyone who wasn't involved in the fight was already dozing lightly. Hidan and Deidara were still in danger of getting massacred by the still sugar-high Kimiko.

Eventually, Kimiko, being the clumsy person she is, tripped on a rock and passed out from the sugar rush.

Hidan and Deidara were finally able to relax, and both collapsed on the ground in exhaustion.

"SHIT… SHE'S... SHE'S ENERGETIC!" Hidan yelled, trying to catch his breath.

"C-can we… just… leave… her out here, un?" Deidara asked, also trying to catch his breath.

"That might be a good idea… I'm tired…" Kisame said, yawning.

We went inside and fell asleep for a while, not really caring about the psychopathic 11 year-old currently passed out in the backyard.

Kimiko's POV

All I remember was chasing Hidan and Deidara one second, and the next second, I was on the ground, barely able to move.

I woke up in the middle of the dilapidated training grounds, the hot afternoon sun shining down on me and the remains of the training field.

I sat up, but was struck with a headache so immense that I almost fainted.

I groaned and grabbed my head, trying to resist the urge to throw up.

"Stupid emotions… Always getting me into trouble…" I muttered, remembering how I got into a mess like this in the first place. If I would've just cooperated and given out the necessary information instead of destroying a bathroom and some other unmentionable stuff, I wouldn't have been lying out in the backyard, with a monstrous headache in the middle of a hot summer afternoon.

I got up, and stood there for a few minutes to keep whatever was left in my stomach down before jumping up into the branches of a nearby tree to cool down.

'This only proves that emotions only get in the way, you know…' My conscience said in a told-you-so tone of voice.

'Shut up, me. It's better than feeling nothing at all, as you may or may not know.' I thought back, rubbing my temples and lying down on the tree limb.

'You know I'm right, so don't deny it.' My conscience muttered back smugly.

'I thought I told you to shut up. And I know you're right. But I'm just going to say that I deny it because I'm just starting to realize what true happiness is, so don't ruin it for me just yet.' I muttered back, closing my eyes. I slowly drifted off, only to be rudely disturbed a rather short hour or two later.

Pein's POV

I went back out with Hidan and Deidara, since I was done questioning them. Konan said we had to go back out and get Kimiko, and I just wanted to drag Hidan and Deidara out there because I knew they were still scared of her.

When we got to the spot we had left her in, she wasn't there.

"OHMYGOD SHE'S BEEN KIDNAPPED, UN. AWESOME!" Deidara said, doing a quick happy dance.

"Who'd wanna kidnap her in the state she was in when we left?" I muttered to myself, looking around.

"KIMIKO! WHERE'RE YOU AT?" I yelled suddenly.

My question was answered when she fell out of a nearby tree and groaned in pain.

"Eh? Oh crap it's the failed relationship counselors…" She muttered under her breath, rubbing her head.

"What were you fuckin' doing in a tree?" Hidan asked, half-expecting her to charge at him.

"Have you noticed the heat out here? I already have a 2nd degree burn on my arm from that blow torch that SOMEBODY wrestled away from while it was ON… I don't need any sunburns to take care of…" She said, glaring at me in particular.

"Well, if you promise not to kill anyone, you can come in." I said, helping her up.

"Fine… Wait, wait… Hold that thought for a second…" She said turning and quickly walking into a cluster of trees.

She came back twenty minutes later.

"What did you just do, hm?"Deidara asked, confused.

"I had to hurl, so I went over there. Okay, I'm going in now to go sit in front of one of the very few air conditioners that works. Bye-bye." She said, turning and walking towards the hideout.

We stood there for a while before following.

She went to the nearest air conditioner and sat directly in front of it, not caring about much else besides staying cool.

"I figure that I could be set for life if I reported everything based on what happened last night." Kimiko said still facing the fan.

We all stared at her oddly for a minute or two.

"Just sayin'…" She said, turning and glancing at us before shrugging and going back to staying cool.

"Hey Kakuzu? Why can't we get a pool?" Kimiko asked after several minutes of silence.

"Because it's almost fall and it wouldn't be worth the effort or money." Kakuzu answered quickly.

"That makes sense." She replied, shrugging.

"Although, it would cost less because there's already a dent in the ground outside half the size of Walmart..." I muttered, more to myself than anyone else.

"Aww, I have to throw up again…" Kimiko said, getting up and running for the nearest bathroom.

After about 10 minutes, she came back out and sat back in front of the AC.

"My business… is done…" she said, sighing contently.

"And what business what that?" I asked, not knowing what else to say.

"Puking up whatever is left to puke in my system. I thought you would've figured that out by now." She replied, rubbing the back of her neck.

"Oh crap… I have to go wee now… Off to another bathroom…" She said, getting up and heading for another bathroom.

She tripped on air and landed on Konan, which was better than landing on the floor.

"Ow… Stupid oxygen… Always trying to assassinate me…" Kimiko murmured, trying to stand up.

"Ow… Konan! Don't' touch my face! It hurts…" Kimiko whined, as Konan had accidently rubbed against her face.

"Wait… Oh, you got a sunburn… on your face too…" Konan said, examining Kimiko's face, making her grimace when Konan's fingers brushed across her face.

"Oh, that reminds me… I still have to go wee." Kimiko said, pulling away from Konan and disappearing down a corridor.

"How did that remind her of-…? You know what? I don't want to know…" Sasori murmured, shaking his head.

"It's all about connective thinking, Sasori, my dear." Kimiko yelled from the direction she had ran only moments before.


Okay... So, I have SO MANY ideas that I've been getting during the very rare me time I have, so don't worry. And by the end of October, I should done with sports until spring, then I might go for track, but that's a maybe. Okay, I have to go and fail horribly at my extra curricular activities. PLZ review so I can feel like I accomplished something in the short amount of free time I have because I've just been doing A LOT of epic fails lately...
