This chapter is as is. Don't know what that means, huh? well, it means that it has not, in any way been edited for spelling. why? because I'm currently using a computer that has no spell check. Sorry. In about three or four days, I'll get a computer that does have spell check, but intill then, you'll have to bear with me. If this kind of stuff really annoys you, come back when this message isn't here. That means that I've gotten my spell-checking computer, and I've fixed this mess.

Only one reveiw, huh? I can live with that. I'm not angry. I'll just reply to Hyorinmaru, the only reveiwer!

So, origionaly it was only going to have no plot, but I got an idea. This chapter pretty much ends the plot, and I'll go back to one-shots. Yeah... Kill that fly! Kill that fly dead!

Sasuke couldn't sleep. It was his insomnia. Not chronic insomnia, but insomnia. Sasuke couln't sleep. It was a feeling that, if sasuke where to even lay in his bed, he would have that nightmare again. The one about his brother.

If there was a premonition of a doubt that he could sleep, he would. A tired ninja was dangerous to himself. But a screaming ninja was worse. A fearfull, screaming wreck.

And so, Sasuke sat on top of his house, the only house to get electricity in the Uchiha corner of Konoha. The only living human for three square miles. The rain pelted Sasuke's umbrella.

It was bad to have nightmares about him at when you know you're that alone.

"H-hello, Lee-san." Hinata, cold and wet to the core from the rainstorm outside, said, "I-is Neji-nii-san here?"

Lee was suprised, "y-yes."

"Could I t-talk to him?" Hinata asked.

"I'm sure you could..." Lee took her umbrella, "But he's asleep."

"Oh." She shrugged, "Well, I'll go."

"No, It's still raining. Come inside intill it stops."

"K-kiba-kun is waiting for me..."

"He can wait."

Hinata nodded. She needed to speak with her cousin, "I'll go tell him."

Kakashi was asleep. Or at least, he sure looked like he was asleep. Why would a ninja pantamime narcolepsy?

Kurenai walked up to Kakashi with a pile of papers in her arms. Iruka, sitting next to Kakashi at the table, shook his head, "what work can he do asleep?"

"True." Kurenai nodded. She then, unexpectedly kicked Kakashi. He didn't move, "Maybe he's dead."

Iruka shrugged, "Maybe." He grabbed a few of the papers. Kurenai sat down.

"Did 'ya read the reports?" Kurenai talked wile doing her paperwork.

"Yup." Iruka nodded, "The Inoyuki Jasmine feilds got burnt down."

"They think Akatsuki did it."

"Why? A bunch of bandits coulda done it." Kurenai shrugged.

"Inoyuki was the last place the kyuubi was sighted before..." The sprials being doodled on Iruka's paper finished his sentance.

"Eh? What good would that do?" Kurenai filled in another blank on her paper.

"We don't know." Iruka finished his first page of paperwork, and started piling it on kakashi's head, "We do know that the Akatsuki are interested in the kyuubi, though."

"Well, That's enough to base an accusation." Kurenai said, sarcasticly.

Iruka chuckled and nodded. Kakashi just snored.

"Mmm..." Was all Itachi said. Hitting the exact note as the cold, rainy wind, he continued to hum.

"Hey, eh?" Kisame nodded. This was their own language. A series of grunts and nodds. It was why they where partners.

Itachi smiled, nodding.

Konoha never looked so small.

Sasuke stared to cough, like he was being choked. He sputtered for air, and in the process, dropped his umbrella.

Kakashi was awake. Scattering the many papers resting on his head, he rose quickly. 'Chakra,' his mind was screaming, 'Uchiha chakra. And not Sasuke's either.'

"Oh," Iruka smiled, "So you're awake. You can help us with this paperwork, then?"

"Yeah," Kurenai handed Kakashi a pencil, "Do your share!" She smiled.

"No." Was all Kakashi said, and he was gone.

"I'm awake." Said Neji, stepping into the hallway. When he say Hinata, he shot Lee a questioning look. Lee shot back with a strong 'It itsn't me. I'm innocent' look. Lee was good at that.

"Neji-nii-san," Hinata smiled, "Can I talk to you."

Neji paled. Now was not the time! "Yes, Hinata-sama." He said.

When Lee excused himself, Hinata began to speak.

"I a-am deeply sorry for the idiotic actions of my t-teammate," Hinata mumbled, repeating exactly what Lee had had said he would have told Neji if he was in Hinata's shoes, "It will not happen again, I-"

"Hinata-sama." Neji interjected, bowing deeply "This is not your fault, nor Inuzuka's. I am..." Neji paused.

Hinata now found the time to speak, "I do not know w-why Kiba-kun attacked you. He said... h-he didn't say anything." Hinata sniffled, "So, i-it is no one's fault b-but his. A-and knowing him, h-he isn't g-going to appologize."

Neji smiled, "Well, then, It doesn't matter. Let's just pretend this whole episode never happened."

"Y-yes, Neji-nii-san, let's." She nodded vigorously.

Hinata left, and Neji felt strangely calm.

Itachi switched, stairing pointedly at the inner walls. It was that kakashi bastart. He signaled his partner.

Kisame, seeing the signal, dissapeared. Itachi nodded and said, "Goodbye, little brother." before spiriting away.

Ahhh! That was hard to write. I think I could have done better...

Reveiw and Hinata will make you a bento box! mmm... Bento...
