OK, here's the second chapter.

XXX

With her black cape, she blended in with her forest surroundings. She had spotted the cat long ago; she was just waiting for it to fall into her trap.

It was a clever plan, really.

The catnip was a few feet from the mewing cat. She was waiting patiently for the stupid beast to notice the food.

When it finally did, it stared at it for a couple of minutes.

Tayen gripped her kunai knife. Did it really matter if the cat was returned alive?

"Tayen." Came Kakashi's voice on the walkie-talkie she was forced to take.

"Yes, Kakashi-san." Tayen replied.

"How is your mission going?"

"Hold on, sensei."

Tayen jumped from the tree.

The cat looked up at the falling form in blank terror. It had no time to run, and it braced itself for impact. I KNEW the catnip was a setup!

It opened its eyes after a few moments. It found itself in Tayen's grip.

"Mission accomplished." Tayen said into the walkie-talkie.

"Affirmative. Report to the meeting point," Kakashi's voice responded.

"Whatever," Tayen grumbled into the tiny box of communication. She stuffed it into her pocket and leaped towards the lady's house to return her cat.

I can see why it ran away. Thought Tayen after seeing the lady's reaction that her "Snuggle wonkins" was back.

After nearly strangling the poor animal in a "hug" the lady moved on to Tayen.

"No, no, no, no. It's ok. I don't need…" her protest her cut off as the overweight lady "hugged" her as well.

"Now, now. A young lady shouldn't look like this! Mary? Mary! Get my makeup bag!" the lady shouted at her servant.

"Ma'am…I can't…I have to get back to my team," she said.

"Not looking like that you won't!" she cried and she and her servant started doing stuff to her hair and face, leaving Tayen completely helpless…

"Where is that new kid!" Naruto exclaimed.

"She said she was on her way. We just have to wait," Kakashi said patiently.

"Kakashi…Lady is insane…doing torture…" came the voice of Tayen from his pocket.

The Jounin made a curious face at the three genin assembled before him and said into the walkie-talkie, "Tayen. Get out of there. Abort mission if necessary."

"Mission already accomplished…heading back now."

There came sounds of muffled fighting and suddenly the fighting stopped.

"Heading towards meeting point." Tayen's voice said.

When Tayen arrived, Naruto burst out laughing.

Her face had so mach makeup on; it was impossible to tell where her actual skin was. Her hair was also bundled up in various ways. Her clothes her torn in various places, and her eyes showed complete rage.

She dropped down from a tree and dunked her head into a stream that was close by. When she surfaced, the makeup was gone and her jet-black hair fell down past her shoulders, sopping wet.

She shook her head, standing up. Droplets of water flew everywhere, most landing on Naruto, who glared at her.

"Mission accomplished," she said in a cold tone.

"What happened?" inquired Sakura.

"Some crazy old bat wanted to make me a 'proper lady.' I unfortunately, had to knock her out of my way, for I had to leave," she answered, with sarcasm on the word unfortunately.

Kakashi nodded and whipped out his book.

"Kakashi-sensei, is it time to go home?" Sakura asked.

"Sure, whatever." He answered, walking away with his book.

Tayen did a similar thing, only walked the opposite way.

Sakura, with a puzzled look on her face, walked towards her apartment.

Sasuke disappeared in a puff of smoke, while Naruto used the trees.

It was night, and Sasuke had forgotten a kunai knife he had been polishing at the clearing.

He was about to drop in when he saw an unusual scene before him.

Kakashi and Tayen were standing a few yards apart. Kakashi made some signs Sasuke couldn't see and suddenly there was many shadow clones all around him.

Tayen copied this exact movement. Kakashi's clones disappeared and so did Tayen's.

Kakashi made an ice ball and so did Tayen. Whatever move Kakashi made, Tayen would copy it.

These were the unmistakable signs of the Sharingan.

Kakashi moved forward and talked to Tayen a bit.

Suddenly, they both disappeared.

Sasuke felt a presence behind him and he turned around. There stood Tayen.

"What are you doing here?" she asked in a dangerous tone.

"I'm getting my kunai knife," he answered.

In the dim light, he couldn't see the exact color of her eyes, but he was sure that he saw her eyes change from red to black. But he couldn't be sure.

Tayen narrowed her eyes and disappeared.

Sasuke wondered, She's not from the Uchiha clan…is she?

Oooh, Cliffhanger. I LOVE writing those!
