A/N: Omg! I am so sorry! My friggin computer has been down for two weeks due to moving. I can't believe it. What a pain in my ass. (And no doubt yours if you actually enjoy reading this…) Whatever. It's up now so enjoy! Onto this long awaited chapter!…

00000 Dining Room

"Not again!" The team ran inside and looked around. The lights had been blown out and the tools were burning hot.

"Maybe the equipment overheated and blew the circuits?"

"No. It was a power surge, causing the outage. We're convinced it just affected this building." Asuma walked in and took a look around. "You used power strips though, right?"

"Yes... Why are you asking?"

He took the cigarette out of his mouth and snatched up a plastic bar. "Then your tools will be fine. Don't touch the lights until we can replace the fuse or whatever."

They nodded and he left to go check the other rooms.

"It's always the lights! Why does it always have to be the lights?"

00000 Bathroom

"Phew! Our room wasn't hit too bad. How's the electricity?"

"Still out. Lee?"

"Yes?"

"Can you go turn the light switch on and off to check?"

"Okay Dokey!" He ran to the switch and lifted it than snapped it down. "Hahaha! This is kinda fun!"

"Hmmm... Still not going on, eh?" The boy winked at the group captain. "How about you check the wiring? It may just be a glitch in how we put it in." Lee looked up. "But isn't that dangerous?"

"No of course not! Trust me."

"Okay then..." Lee moved to the light with a screw driver and began to unscrew it from the wall...

00000 Kitchen

"Crap! Look at this place!" A few lightbulbs had shattered from the surge. "That's not our only problem. Look at this." The group gathered to what Sasuke was pointing at.

The plug that the stove and fridge had been attatch to had been scorched. "Didn't you use a power strip?" Kakashi appeared behind the team.

"Kakashi sensei!"

Sasuke remained unmoved. He didn't know. Half the time he was asleep.

"And don't you know better than to plug two power draining appliances in the same outlet? You obviously overloaded the circuit." No answer.

Finally, Choji spoke up. "We didn't have a lot of strips to start with. Besides, the one we were using for the appliances went missing!"

"Missing? How could you lose a power strip in just two days?"

00000 Rec Room

Gaara was first to return to the room, fearing what damage was done to his gaming fortress.

He coughed as smoke billowed out of the doors. When it finally cleared, he stood in shock.

The games plugged in must not have been protected because the backs were burnt and the smell of burning plastic poured out.

He took a few steps inside to get a better look. The team stopped at the doors when they saw him in a strange trance.

Gaara examined every tv and every arcade game. He hardly ever lost his temper, but if he were to, he figured under these circumstances it would be justified. Walking to the double doors, he gently shut them, locking the group out.

Curious, they stuck their ears to the doors. Inside it was apparent Gaara was throwing a huge tantrum.

The sound of shattering glass and the smashing sound of metal ricocheted off the walls. And above all the commotion, curses rolled out one after another in an unstoppable wave of fury.

When it seemed he had finally calmed down, the cracking of wood reassured the group he wasn't.

Alerted by the sounds, that were possibly filling the entire floor, Baki ran over.

"What's going on in there!" He demanded. The group stepped back as what sounded as big as a table, hit the door. They were too worried to answer.

"Gaara, isn't it?" Nods were the only answer. Baki opened the doors and slipped inside. "Enough Gaara!" A strange animal like roar came from within.

"Is it the Shukaku?"

"Beats me. I hope not. They're only games..."

"True. But think of how long Gaara spends in there. They're not just games to him."

All of a sudden, the sillohuette of Baki slammed into the screen. The guys screamed loudly as a monster sized outline came into view.

"Excuse us!"

"Move to one side!"

Other jonin came in to help control what was happening.

"Someone has to visit the counselor..."

00000 Kitchen

With the teachers gone, there was no one to stop the "blame game" from erupting.

"I didn't take it! Why would I?"

"Well you didn't do anything the whole time... Why wouldn't you?"

"That's not cool! If you wanna talk about someone that did nothing, talk about Sasuke! Some leader. This would never happen if I was in charge!"

"Leader! Now we're into that again? You couldn't lead a dog."

"Quit blaming this on me! Talk to him!"

Everyone directed their attention to the corner where Sasuke had been keeping his distance. Damn. You oversleep once and everyone's turned against you.

He remained silent.

"You're right! All Sasuke's been doing is sitting on his ass or disappearing while we work our butts off!"

Hm. Maybe I can use this to my advantage. "Fine. If you don't like how I lead, then raise your hand. I'll step down if that's what the majority wants." Eight hands went up.

Yes! Arigato! I've been waiting for a rebellion.

Pretending to looked disappointed, Sasuke shrugged. "Alright. Who wants to be leader?" Without looking at the volunteers, he pointed to Choji.

"Akimichi Choji, you're the next leader. Everyone has to obey him from now on. Got it! Good. Sayounara." He walked out the door, leaving the others speechless.

Sasuke headed to his room without a care. The way he saw it, what happened from now on had nothing to do with him.

"SASUKE! WAIT UP!" Not him again... Just when I'm finally free from this project, he has to show up. Of course, it was Naruto chasing Sasuke down the halls.

Not caring whether or not he was rude, Sasuke darted down the opposite hall. "Hey! SASUKE!" Naruto ran after him.

Why can't he find anyone else to bother! Shit! He's definately getting faster each time he's after me.

000

Around the corner, at the other side of the hall Sasuke is traveling down

"Get the fuck off me!" Gaara struggled in the grasp of three jonin. "I'm FINE! It was just an outburst!"

"We...ugh! Stop moving!... are just taking precautions!"

"What would happen if you attacked a student, Gaara!"

He stopped for a moment and grinned. "Depends on who it was."

"Come on! We've got to get him to the medical office!"

"WHY! Damn you people are paranoid!" Gaara started wriggling again.

000

Sasuke heard the commotion from the hall getting louder. But so was Naruto.

"WAIT A SEC!"

"We're warning you Gaara!"

Sasuke bolted down the hall, determined to lose Naruto. Although he tried to dodge the group, he ran straight into them, breaking their hold on Gaara.

"Ha! See you later bitches!" Gaara got up and disappeared before the eyes of the jonin.

"Quick! He's extremely unstable! We have to contain him from the others!"

"Someone get the Uchiha!"

"Anyone have tranquilizer needles!"

00000 Bathroom

"Haha! Got it!" Lee had successfully removed the light and poked between the wires.

"It looks like everything's right..." Suddenly, the screw driver acted as a conductor and Lee fell backwards.

"Hey look! Lee's been electrocuted! Hahahahaha! Power must have come on. Hm. I guess he never turned the switch to off."

Little by little, electricity came back on for each room.

"That takes care of this! Now back to work!"

00000

"Hold it right there, Uchiha!"

"Come back Sasuke!"

Great. Now I have both jonin and Naruto on my ass. I can't slow down if I want to escape Naruto... but if I don't I'll get some sort of punishment. If they can catch me at least. I have to find somewhere to hide... fast!

"You assisted the escape of a dangerous student and now I have to take you down as well!"

It was an accident... I just ran into you! I never wanted to help Gaara...maybe this means my debt is repaid. Ha! Yes! Now where to go...

"SASUKE! QUIT RUNNING!" Naruto's loud mouth seemed quieter than last time. Maybe I'm losing him... One down, one to go!

He had lost Naruto, but the jonin had caught up with him. Wrestling the fugitive to the ground, he snarled angrily.

"Why were you running!"

Sasuke lifted his head, "You were chasing me, remember?"

"Do you know why I was chasing?"

What is this? 20 questions! "Yes, because I was running..."

"That's it smart mouth! No more sly remarks... You're coming with me!" Like a prisoner, Sasuke was led down the halls, still not understanding why the jonin was making such a big deal out of this.
