A/N:OMG! Sorry this chapter is so short. I think this is the very first time I've gotten writers blockso bad that I had to post a chapter that was only three hundred words:p

Disclaimer: Do I have to include one in every chapter? You already know that I don't own the characters nor the world they live in. The plot came from my head as well as Shai and Jiiru.

Chapter Nine: Sayami Jiiru

Shai's neck made an audible popping nose as she whipped her head around to see who spoke. She tensed up when she saw Sayami Jiiru sneering at them.

"Ah, so I see you all received seperate orders to meet me here?" His voice was a lot higher pitched than one would expect. Shai guessed that he either was kicked too hard in the groin during one of his missions, or he was gay.

She was leaning towards the latter; Jiiru was looking Gaara over with lust-filled eyes.

When the four got over their shock and nodded, he produced two scrolls, holding one out to Gaara and the other to Temari.

"Each scroll contains another objective for you kids. Gaara and Shai are to read that one," He pointed to Gaara's scroll, then to the one Temari was holding, "Temari and Kankuro for that one."

When Jiiru was finished speaking, he continued to let his eyes roam around Gaara's body until Shai spoke to him.

"How do we know you're who we think you are?"

Jiiru chuckled at Shai for a moment before his face hardened. "Becuase of'tesimera'."

Shai smiled weakly at Jiiru, and he dissapeared in a cloud of dust.

Seeing the questioning looks in her companion's faces, she turned several shades of crimson before offering an explination.

"I ... Uh, well, He could have been a person using genjutsu."

Kankuro shook his head and started inside. Temari smiled and followed her younger brother as Shai and Gaara looked after them. After a while, Gaara glanced at Shai before going inside the building.

Shai gulped in a breath of the cool, fresh air of the forest, and hurled up her dinner.
