A/N: ATTENTION! Erm, sorry for the delay. A bazillion things happened at once. First, my parents decided to go to the renaissance festival for the whole day! It took two hours of driving (I wrote this in the car). When we finally got back around 5:00. When I went to get on my computer, it brought up a screen saying that all my drivers had been deleted. So, it took two hours to fix that up (while waiting I thought up another storyline involving all the biju). I then spent the night at K-Chan's but her computer wouldn't connect to the Internet. Finally, it did and I got online and read all the wonderful reviews and felt once again moved to write another chapter. Today, I came home with the full intention to type up six chapters! But guess what, my computer crashed and I guess it deleted EVERYTHING but I wouldn't know, we cant get it to work...I think the motherboard is corrupted or something...so ermm yeah…I'm typing this up on me dad's computer...so sorry if some of the characters are out of character in this chapter…oh yeah, Naruto doesn't belong to me. Behold the ermm... Eighth Chapter! (Hah! I can too count K-Chan)! Yeah, reeeeeeeeally sorry for the delay. Forgive meee! Ok yeah, I'll attempt to get the ninth chapter done today. But K-Chan isn't currently home. (I am now! -KC) so sorry for any mistakes! Ad I'm not going to stop writing this for a while. But I might tell you a spoiler as to how this one ends yeah but don't worry, I'm going to make a sequel!

Kankurou sighed as he stood outside Gaara's door. He had been ringing the doorbell repeatedly for the past ten minutes and was starting to get ticked off. No one was answering; he didn't even hear anyone moving around inside.
He had heard last night that Gaara and Naruto had returned, and that they were the only ones. He really wanted to see his little brother again (he had been gone two weeks on a mission); after all he had already visited Temari. He gritted his teeth in frustration as he pounded on the door.
"If you aren't going to open up, I'm going to come in!" He yelled, pulling a key out of one of his concealed pockets. Hah! Gaara doesn't know I have this. Too bad for him though… I have to think up a punishment worthy enough…he thought as he opened the door and quietly slipped in without anyone seeing.
He smiled as a plan came to mind. He would sneak upstairs into his brother's room and wake him up with his puppets, even though he really wanted to jump on him. But waking up Gaara by jumping on him didn't seem like a smart idea. But before any of that could come, he just had to drop a cup of ice-cold water on a certain sleeping Naruto's head for being rude to him at the Chuunin exams.
He wasn't surprised to find that Naruto's room was the one furthest away from Gaara's. He didn't blame him; who would want to sleep near a noisy kid like that? He probably snores too. He was surprised to find that Naruto's room was empty. Yep, this was definitely Naruto's room judging by how much of a mess the room was, from the doorway to the walls. He frowned as he looked at the poor trashed room; it was a total mess. The bed was completely messed up, with the sheets thrown on the floor, empty ramen containers were strewn about everywhere, and there was trash all over the place.
He sighed as he began to close the door to hide the horrid messiness from his poor, poor eyes, then paused when he saw something small and white laying on the bed.
He slowly maneuvered his way through the messy room and picked up the envelope; it was addressed to Gaara. He smiled and pocketed it; he would deliver it later. Now for Gaara…
Halfway up the stairs, he came to a dead stop. Not because a door that he hadn't known was there was open, but because there was someone sleeping in the room. He couldn't see who it was though, so he decided to go check it out.
Five minutes later he ran out of the room and closed the door. It had been a girl, and a pretty one at that. In Gaara's house. A girl in Gaara's house that he had never seen before. His mind went back to the sign on the headband on the dresser; it had been engraved with the yin-yang symbol, the symbol of the nin of Sorakagure. He remembered hearing news about the war going on between the two countries. Obviously they weren't at war anymore, if there was a Sora nin in Suna, in Gaara, the Kazekage's, house.
He smiled; what was going on? Had his brother finally found 'love'? If so, why hadn't he been notified?
He went downstairs; he was going to find out. He was going straight to Gaara's office.

:D Funny or not? It'll get a bit better in the next chapter. Also, the chapter Ten shalt be labeled Akatsuki...Tomorrow, I shall write up the chapters in class, promise :)… LEAVE REVIEWS! Pwease.
(K-Chan's Notes: Yo! God, that Renaissance festival was one of the most troublesome places to go to EVER. I almost got heat stroke.TT Ugh. I did get this pretty fan thing though; Dragonfly got a cool parasol. But the drive there was HELL. Dragonfly's little bro and his friend would NOT SHUT UP! I was in a great deal of pain at the time (headaches, severe motion sickness, and cramps), so hearing the little runts singing some stupid song at the top of their goddamned lungs made me want to hurt things. Namely them. Okay, I know you don't want to hear me rattle on about my pain anymore. Sorry. Anyways, this was a lovely chapter. :D I lol'd. Heehee, since I am a privileged person, I know what's going to happen! Hint: My darling will be in here soon! I think. I forgot. But wait, you don't know who my darling is…damn. Oh well! If I gave any other hint, Dragonfly would strangle me. ;; Ja ne! Til next time!
IMPORTANT NOTE TO MAKOTO: Yo. K-Chan here to fill ya in: I'm afraid you have it wrong; the biju Kikiru has is a wolf; this could be correct. The biju is a CANINE SPIRIT. It is not listed specifically as a dog. Canines include dogs, wolves, coyotes, etc. It could be any one of those; wolf just happens to be most appealing. :) There, I hope that clears up everything.
