(A/N: Hey all! Shinigami Goumon here! Sorry this took so long! Writer's block is sucha bitch! First off, Thankyou all for reviewing! I LOVE YOU ALL! Secondly, there're some things I wanna letcha in on to make this story THAT much funnier!
Justa letcha know, the whole Shrek/Thunder Thighs thing from the last chapter is a running joke between Taka and Aka because the two are rather slim for their age; Akane moreso because she's a girl and short. Aka is as skinny as a twig and Taka is thin as a post, hence the joke
ALSO! For all those who review THIS chappie, not just read, I'll be sending them a special, LIMITED EDITON piccy of Akane, Kazuo, Mannen, Takaomi and Suo!
And now that I've gotten all THAT outta the way, ENJOY!)
"Man…whadda night." Naruto groaned.
It had taken Akane's brothers three full hours to restrain her.
And another hour to calm her down (I.E. knock her out)
They had refused help from the Chuunin and himself.
After all, why rile her up more?
They made arrangements to meet up with the Godaime Hokage later the next day.
To say they were nervous about the meeting would be putting it lightly.
Having someone around who was trigger happy was bad enough, but combining it with a hair-trigger temper?
Things weren't looking good.
"Good morning!" Hinode said happily, waving at Naruto furiously.
"Hi Naruto!" Sora cried cheerfully, waving wildly at the blonde.
They had arranged to spend the evening with Aburame's, who just happened to be hosting the Kazekage, Temari and Kankuro during their stay in Konoha.
The two were far happier than usual.
Why, you may ask?
Because last night before they had gone to bed, they had FINALLY managed to glomp their beloved Gaara and Shino!
They tossed pillows at them, then huggled them as the two smacked the pillows away.
Needless to say the two had been very an-grrr-ree.
The evidence was all over the otaku's faces that day.
"It was worth the pain!" Sora had said blissfully, a huge shiner now covering her right cheekbone.
"That's for sure!" Hinode grinned through her newly distended bottom lip.
Shino and Gaara muttered something that sounded distinctly like, "You're gonna die" under their breathe and continued to stalk ahead.
Kankuro and Temari couldn't look at their baby brother without laughing now, as they had witnessed the entire incident, so they took to looking at the earth just beside his feet instead.
The Fucked Up Five strolled up, Akane still out like a light on Kazuo's back (somebody up there must like them!)
The Questionable Quintuplet had stayed at the Inuzuka's so it was quite obvious that their party now carried with them the heavy smell of dog.
From the night's endeavors to restrain and knock out their younger sister, all four brothers sported prominent bruising, scratches, cuts and burns
The cuts are from concealed blades she had hidden about her person.
The burns from dodging bullets (obviously)
"Heya!" Suo smirked.
"Yo." Takaomi grinned.
"'sup?" Mannen smiled.
"Mornin." Kazuo waved, shifting his burden slightly.
"…zzz…" Akane said, still sleeping.
"How goes it?" Kiba asked, Akamaru at his side.
"Good so far." Naruto sighed, eyeing Akane, "Now lets just hope SHE doesn't wake up."
Sakura and Sasuke were the last ones to arrive.
Actually, that technically wasn't true.
Sasuke had arrived on time.
He had been sent back out to collect Sakura, who had been unusually tardy that day.
The pink haired teen had big black bags under her eyes and it was apparent by the awful case of bed head she hadn't brushed her hair yet.
She swayed unsteadily on her feet.
Sakura had been plagued with nightmares all night, all of which involving Akane and her…"Toys"…which had been induced by the happenings earlier that night.
It was her own fault for calling Akane a no-talent, brain-dead slacker…and for getting in the line of fire when she was aiming for Mannen.
Needless to say she hadn't slept well.
"We all here?" Kankuro asked.
Hinata nodded meekly (when did SHE get here?…oh well.)
"Alright then." Gaara said officiously, "We're meeting with the Godaime Hokage, Tsunade. So, be on your best behavior."
"Ahhh…Tsunade-baachan!" Naruto grinned, "It's been so long!"
"Naruto…did you not just hear him?" Shino asked, exasperated.
"HEEEEEEEE! THEY'RE SOOOOO HOT!" Sora and Hinode squealed.
Shino and Gaara exchanged a disgusted look.
Akane grunted in her sleep, shifting a little.
There was a tense moment as she turned her head the other way on Kazuo's shoulder, mumbling incomprehensibly, without waking.
There was a group wide sigh of relief.
"Whew." Temari, breathed, "That was nerve-racking."
"Let's just hurry up and meet with Tsunade." Kiba said, an agitated edge creeping into his voice.
A bullet AND a particularly sharp hunting knife had come THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS close to slicing through his Good Ole Boys.
So he wanted to part company with the trigger happy teen as soon as possible.
No such luck however.
The instant the group had the Hokage's Tower in their periph, they were confronted by Team's Gai and 10.
"NARUTO! SASUKE!" Lee cried, "So good to see you again, my rivals!"
Frantically looking from Lee to Akane, the pair went-
"Shh shh shh!"
"Quiet!"
"For the love of all things great and small, don't wake her up." Sakura and Kiba begged simultaneously.
Tenten gave them a strange look.
"Ooookayeee." Chouji said through a mouthful of chips.
"Where did you all disappear to for so long?" Neji demanded to know, scowling at his cousin.
Hinata shrank down, clinging to the Naruto plushie in her pocket for comfort.
Gaara strode forward, glaring at the older boy.
"You are making us late for our meeting with the Hokage." He growled, "Move."
"Funny." Ino smirked, "She called us in too."
"What!" Sakura cried.
"Its so troublesome." Shikamaru sighed.
"LET US GO ONWARD MY COMPANIONS!" Lee cried jubilantly.
Well, that was the straw that broke the camel's back
Akane FINALLY woke up.
It wasn't a pretty sight.
She took one look at Lee…and began to scream.
She ripped her M-15 off her left thigh and her Heckler & Koch MP7 semi automatic off her right and proceeded to unload the clips at the Blue Beast.
"AAAAAAAAAUGH!" Akane shrieked, "GEDDITAWAYGEDDITAWAYGEDDITAWAY! DIEDIEDIEDIEDIE!"
"HEY! AWP! WHOA! STOP-ACK! STOP IT!" Lee cried, dodging the bullets as they shot at him at impossible speeds.
Many were near misses, though.
Several scaped by his cheek and some tried to pull a Kiba.
"It's a good thing he's a ninja or he'd be dead by now." Suo commented.
"She's still bloodying him up pretty good, tho'." Takaomi noted.
"She's not exactly doing wonders for our reputation is she?" Sora sobbed quietly.
"We're probably gonna spend the rest of our lives rotting away in Shinobi jail." Hinode muttered, big fat tears pouring down her cheeks.
Finally, both guns were in need of reloading, and Mannen took this opportunity to sooth his sister's frazzled nerves.
"Cool it, Monkey! He's on our side!" he said, snickering.
"Our sah-OUR SIDE? LOOKAT'EM!" Akane shrieked, "THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'RE GONNA LEAP OFF HIS FACE AND EAT ME!"
"Huh?" Lee blinked.
Naruto began to laugh.
He understood perfectly.
Sleep induced delirium combined with THOSE caterpillar brows?
No wonder she was so freaked.
"Well, he's definitely on our side, sis." Kazuo snorted, forcing back a laugh, "Him AND his mega brows."
"HEY!" Lee cried, finally catching on.
Akane glared viciously at the new teams from her spot on Kazuo's back.
"Those Animanga Freaks better not come near me." Akane growled.
"Somehow, how I don't think you'll hafta worry about that." Tenten muttered.
"Don't worry." Sasuke smirked, "You're perfectly safe."
"I'd NEVER trust a WORD that comes from one a YOUR mouths!" Akane snarled.
Sora and Hinode sighed.
"Well, come on." Shikamaru grunted, "We're late enough as it is."
"Right." Temari nodded.
"Lets see what the Hokage has to say about all this." Sakura said firmly.
"Like I even care." Akane snorted (S.G.: um…why haven't you gottenoffa Kazuyet? K.A.: pure unadulterated sloth.)
