Chapter 7

"Geez, where are they?" Hope said aloud to the rest of the group.

"Yeah, they've been gone a long time," Delaney replied.

"Maybe we should go look for them..." Sam said.

"No, you know them. I'm sure that they're fine," said Miles.

Meanwhile...

"Tobi, get back here!" Sasori yelled down the hallway. He was running after Tobi faster than any of the people in the building could see. If not, there could be a problem if someone saw him.

"No way! If I do, you'll kill Tobi!!!" Tobi yelled, and ran even faster.

"Hey! Wait... up..." Sara panted, stopping, out of breath.

"Oh, Sara-chan! Hold on!" Noodles yelled, then stopped next to her.

"What is it?" Sara asked.

"Well... Tobi is Tobi. He can't help being annoying," Noodles said with a grin.

"True, but of course... that IS coming from a Tobi fan girl."

"Well obviously! Of course I'd try to protect him because of that!" Noodles said.

"Yeah, I guess," Sara sighed.

"Hmm..."

"What?" Sara asked Noodles.

"Well, I feel sorry for the guys that you like now and later, yeah."

"Why is that?" Sara asked, slightly annoyed.

"Because you're very abusive. You hit and kick Sasori all the time. That must be how you show affection, yeah."

"NOODLES-" Sara cut off, then sighed. "I guess you're right. Though, I'm also abusive to the people I DON'T like..."

"Very true... huh, it's really weird, yeah." Noodles said.

"What's with the 'yeah'?" Sara asked.

"Oh, well... I think I'm starting to do this 'yeah' thing like Deidara does his 'hmm' thing, yeah."

"Oh great. I really need another-" Sara was cut off as Tobi swooped down from the ceiling and held her out in front of him.

"You really think I can't see you hiding there?" Sasori asked, annoyed.

"No, that would be silly of Tobi. Tobi is using Sara-san as a human shield!"

"WHAT!?" Sara exclaimed.

"Hmf. Whatever, you think that if I punch her, you won't go flying too? Well, let's just see." Sasori started to swing his arm when he saw Sara's face. He then stopped. She looked about as emotionless as himself, possibly even more so.

"Punch me, and I will hit you so hard that your head will fly off. Then I will take your head and throw it into a bonfire, where I will roast marshmallows over the burning wood," Sara replied, oddly calm.

"S-Sara-ch-chan y-your kinda scaring m-me..." Noodles replied, with a sort of scared look on her face. Sasori was slightly shocked too. Then suddenly, Sara started laughing like a maniac.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Sara laughed, and laughed.

"AHHHH!!!" Noodles yelled, then jumped into Tobi's arms.

"AHHHH!" Tobi yelled, then dropped Noodles on the floor and ran away.

"...." Sasori said nothing, only stared. Sara then abruptly stopped.

"What, you aren't afraid?" She asked.

"Not in the least," Sasori replied, then acted bored.

"Well aren't you Mr. Sunshine," Sara said boredly back.

"Whatever." Sasori then walked away.

"Come on Noodles, you haven't eaten yet." Sara grabbed a pale Noodles and started to walk back to the lunchroom, dragging Noodles along with her.

a/n: I was tempted to not put out this chapter tonight, but I decided to do it for the sake of those who read it!

P.S.- I am surrounded by my crazy cousins (one of them not so much, but still), my dumb older brother (you know, Mr. Bad instructions), a grumpy 15-year-old (a girl) and another hyper little girl (like one of my cousins). HELP!!!!!
