A/N: Okay, I was rereading this and realized how crazy and messed up it's getting. Sorry to all those who were looking for a sane, safe story. This ain't turnin' out to be one! Hehehe. Naruto's stupidity is causin trouble for the house. Uh-oh. Onto this next chapter!

Yawn. How long have I been asleep? I hope it's not past... 11:17! Damnit! He took a closer look at the clock. In the morning! Is this some kinda joke? How could I have slept all night? And what happened to my room! Sasuke looked around at all the toliet paper hanging from various furniture. Ugh! Jerks!

He tore down the paper, got changed and quickly ran to the kitchen.

"Hey look! Sasuke's back!" In that instant, a fist came flying at his face and he was thrown backwards by the fierce blow.

"What the hell is wrong with you!" Sasuke felt blood gush from his nose. "Ha. I forgot that was gonna happen when you came back! But I did warn you." He turned slowly and came face to face with Naruto.

"MORNING SASUKE!" "Naruto." "Were you asleep all last night? Hm. Wow, you must be a real heavy sleeper." A few people nodded in agreement. "What do yo mean?" Naruto handed Sasuke a cloth from the counter.

"Gaara was up all night with his team. They must be half done with their room by now! But it cost them, they all look like zombies now. Except for Gaara. HE looks like a zombie slave driver. Hahahahahahaha!" Sasuke only took in half of what Naruto said.

"I gotta go... I'll b buck."

"Don't bleed over the tiles! That's the only thing we got done yesterday." Choji tossed the old sink into the hall.

What a wake up call. I hate this project. To make matters worse, Kakashi caught sight of Sasuke stammering down the hall.

"Hello Sasuke. Where are you off to this morning?" Sasuke turned and glared over the cloth he was clutching.

"I'm mot unning if tat's wut yo mean." Kakashi smiled at Sasuke's muffled voice. "Hn. I see. Alright, get going but be back." Sasuke rolled his eyes and ran to the medical office.

00000 Kitchen

"Hey Sasuke...I'm back!" Naruto stuck his head in. "Sasuke's not. Why aren't you ever with your group, Naruto?" He didn't look straight at Choji when he answered.

"Oh, I dunno. I still have to find half a candle. Hey! You guys got pretty far in just the two days!" Choji beamed. "Yeah. I got the sink in a few minutes ago and we're going to be installing the other appliances by the end of today." "Did you say you needed a candle?" A boy from the other side of the room called.

"Ya, why?" "You're probably not going to find one anywhere. They're not allowed in the building. Some fire hazard or bullshit like that."

Naruto's jaw dropped. It finally dawned on him that the whole thing was a set up. I wasn't ever supposed to get any of those items, was I? It was all a scam! A reason to get rid of me! He stormed out. I don't care! I'm not gonna bother helping them if they... "Ahh! What the-?" He tripped over the sink Choji had earlier thrown out.

"Hey! This could make a good target for weapons practice!" He dimly picked it up and snuck outside.

I guess I should get back to work now. Sasuke left the room with a bandage across his nose.

But I don't want to be attacked like that again. Losers. I'll just take the long way. He went around the corner towards the rec room. Hm. Naruto was right. They already got all the new wall panels up.

The workers were busy nailing down the new floorboards and Sasuke could see a figure standing in the corner, watching hawk-like over the rest. Must be Gaara. Ahh! He wasn't kidding when he said everyone looks like zombies. How late were they up!

A few guys looked up at Sasuke with sunken eyes and it looked as though they had been working so long, they didn't even have to pay attention to what they were doing. Their bodies seemed to move like machines.

A little uncomfortable, Sasuke inched away from the sight. "Konnichiwa, Sasuke. What brings you to this side of the floor?" Gaara appeared next to him, holding wires menacingly. For a moment Sasuke wondered if he used them like whips, but he quickly dismissed the crazy thought.

"Avoiding my own group. They've gone a bit A-wall." Gaara grinned. "We're about finished. Just the bar after this." "Really. I heard you were working late." "Just a little." Not wanting to find out how long "just a little" was, Sasuke nodded and hastily said goodbye.

I hope they got far on the room.

00000 Kitchen

"I can't find any plug strips around!"

"You mean surge protectors?"

"Those too."

"Aww just forget it! Plug the stove and fridge into that outlet."

"Alright. There we go! I think we're just about done for today!"

"Should we bother cleaning up the tools?"

"Nah. Leave 'em where they are. I'm gonna order a pizza. What do you want on it?"

All the guys ceased working and called out their favorite toppings. No one realized that the more materials plugged-in, the more open they were to an accident.

00000 Dining Room

It was around 1:00 and the other groups were slowly calling a break after hearing the commotion of food from the kitchen group.

"Hey. Hear that? They're takin' a break."

"Can we? We're almost finished with the lights!"

"We're done with the carpeting!"

"Alright, we'll get lunch and then straight to work after! Got it!" The guys dropped their tools where they were and started to call out what they wanted.

"Order sushi!"

"No, get chicken! Oh and rice balls wrapped in seaweed!"

"Yeah don't forget those! By the way, has anyone seen Naruto?"

00000 Bathroom

"Sounds like the group in the dining room is taking a break. How 'bout it guys? Ready for lunch?"

Cheers answered.

"That's what I thought. But first, how far are you all?"

"Almost finished the tiles!"

"Done with the sink and cabinets..."

"The lights are all ready."

00000 Rec Room

"Gaara? Can we take a break? It sounds like the other groups are."

Gaara looked around at the hungry faces. He'd rather not feed them and continue working, but the majority looked like they would keel over at any second. And besides, he didn't want to have to deal with a riot by refusing.

"It depends. How far are we?"

"Walls and floor's done..."

"Bar's ready to refabricate!"

"Arcade games just need to be brought in and plugged!"

Gaara nodded. "Bring five of the machines back inside and plug them in. Set up the tables and chairs and then we'll talk."

They obeyed and in no time, everything Gaara had asked was done.

Outside, Naruto was practicing with his weapons. He had leaned the sink against a pole and was furiously trying to pierce it.

"Damnit! None of my kunai's can break it! Must be a tough metal." Naruto aimed a weapon at the circular drain, but before he could release it, his name was called from a window.

"Naruto! Get your ass in here! We're ordering food!"

"ALRIGHT! YES!" He ran back inside and tossed the kunai carelessly, sending it straight into the air...

But he was too distracted to notice the metal knife had been lodged into the electric transformer box at the top of the wooden pole.

"Most of the groups are finishing their rooms today."

"It's only been three days! How could ninja like them finish rooms that fast?"

"I have to agree. Has anyone checked how safe they are? I mean, it has been less than a week..."

The teachers watched over the boys during the break. "Well, if one boy in each group is anything like Lee, it's no wonder they finished so fast!"

"Yeah, I'm sure they'd want to finish as fast as possible to get away from him." Kotetsu and Izumo snickered behind Gai's back.

"WHAT'D YOU SAY ABOUT LEE YOU MAGGOTS!"

Gai turned around with a clenched fist. The chunin stopped laughing abruptly and stared.

"Lee is one of the best there is! You all just wish you could have a pupil like him!" He turned away again, pleased with his overprotective ways.

"Oh yeah...Everyone should have a freak like him on their team..." The same chunin said sarcastically.

"I HEARD THAT...!" Gai was glowing red. A few students looked over.

"Calm down, Gai. We may have bigger problems."

"Huh? What do you mean?" The group of teachers looked at Kakashi.

"Don't tell me you can't hear that..." They all fell silent.

"Hm. Now that you mention it, I can hear a buzzing noise." "It's getting louder! Where's it coming from?"

Someone ran to the window and peered out. "Uh...Is the electric box supposed to be sparking like that?" Others came over to see for themselves.

"Shit! Something's stuck in the box! How did that happen?" "I'm not sure but we'd better warn everyone of a possible..."

Suddenly the house was swallowed by a thunderous exploding sound.

The rooms were suddenly spiting out smoke and the air wreaked with the scent of electrical burning.

"...Power surge. Sigh. Well, we'd better go make sure no one got hurt." The others nodded in response and moved to the excited groups.

A/N: I can't help but to pick on Gaara further... He's too cute! ; ) You'll see...
