Authors notes: Hi Again! Ok, the point of view is back in Lily's point of view. And to answer your question insaneoneX, Emi did think about going back, but no matter what she read up on, she couldn't find the dimension warp again. Ok... Sakura, do the disclaimer!

Sakura: Flicker doesn't own any of the Naruto characters, but she does own her OCs, Emi, Lily, and Rose.

Me: Now on with the story!

I was speechless. Dimension warps, getting thrown in the past, I thought those were restricted to sci-fi movies. Apparently I was wrong. Maybe I shouldn't have snapped at Emi earlier.

"Wow..." I muttered, breaking the silence that had settled. I literally didn't know what to think. The fact that Itachi was now my brother in law didn't help either. So that meant... Sasuke was somehow in my family now? No. Not going to happen. I hated that guy. I heard something sneeze outside the door. My eye twitched. Don't tell me it was him. Damn, I wish I had chakra sensing abilities right now. Two of them in a room was not good. Especially if one of them tried to kill the other. There was a knock on the door and Tsundae allowed them to enter. Damn. It was him.

The new arrival walked into the room. His black eyes scanned the room's occupants. His eyes rested on Tsundae a moment then focused on the red head next to me. His gaze then traveled a foot to where I was sitting. My gray eyes met his black eyes. He lingered for a moment on me then glanced at Emi. He gazed back at me then back at Emi. Figuring we were sisters probably. His gaze then stopped on Itachi. He scowled, his hand twitching towards the sword that I had continently forgotten was there. Tsundae gave him a glare and his hand stopped twitching. He let his gaze wander for a moment then it rested on me again. I narrowed my eyes. Why did all the idiotic ones fall for me? The new arrival had black hair that spiked up in the back. He was wearing a cream colored shirt that showed off most of his chest. He had some kind of purple thing around his waist, with black pants. He also was really pale, despite being a shinobi. He was the one, the only, Uchiha Sasuke.

"So glad you could join us Sasuke," Tsundae said.

"Hn," Sasuke hned. He was staring at me.

"You know staring is rude," I muttered. He blinked. Sakura came back into the room from treating Rose and froze. Her green eyes widened.

"S...Sasuke?" she whispered. Sasuke finally let his gaze wander over to Sakura.

"Sakura," he said, blinking. I saw something in his eyes. I sweat dropped. Damn hormonal teenage boys. I could practically tell he was trying to decide either to like me or Sakura. But it didn't look like Sakura was the same fan girl she was a while ago. I didn't blame her, but I kinda wanted to get the idiotic Uchiha off of me, so I said something that shocked even me.

"Sasuke, don't try to talk your way back into Konoha. You a missing nin now. That means you severed ALL ties with your village, and you are NEVER allowed back in. Right Sakura?" I asked. Emi and Sasori were staring at me. Sakura nodded.

"That's right Lily, Sasuke made his own choice to abandon Konoha," she said. I smirked in victory. I could feel Sasuke's glare on me. Good, he got over that little crush.

"I'm afraid they are right Sasuke," Tsundae said. Sasuke blinked.

"I didn't come here to beg to go back to Konoha. I came here to finish what I started," he said. Emi glared at him.

"Don't you dare touch Itachi, you disgrace to the Uchiha name," she growled. Now it was my turn to stare at her. I never seen her this mad. Sasuke looked amused.

"Disgrace? You sound like you are an Uchiha yourself," he smirked. I grinned. Big mistake Sasuke. Emi smiled.

"Actually, I am. Say hello to Uchiha, Emi, wife of Uchiha, Itachi," she said, showing off her ring. Sasuke stared at the ring and then at Itachi.

"Now leave Sasuke," Itachi muttered. Sasuke glared.

"Your going to let him live in the village?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. I smirked.

"Technically, he should be allowed to live in the village, seeing as he never committed a crime against Konoha," I said. Sasuke looked confused. I smirked.

"The massacre was on order of the Sandamie Hokage, because they were planning to take over the village," I continued. Sasuke glared. I had really struck a note with that comment.

"Are we done here?" I heard Sasori ask Tsundae.

"Hai, Hai, dismissed," she muttered. Itachi attempted to get up, but Emi jumped up.

"Oh no you don't! You are recovering mister! I am not going to have you overwork yourself on the first day!" she scolded. I held in a laugh. Emi really sounded like an obsessive medic sometimes. Itachi sighed and let himself be helped up. I moved to get up, but was stopped. I narrowed my eyes. That idiotic red head was holding out his hand. I scowled. What was with men suddenly liking me? A year ago they ignored me. But that was in my school, not Naruto characters. I was something different. Something that needed protecting. I sighed and let my hand be taken by the puppet master. Was I really falling for him?

No... I couldn't be falling for Sasori. Yet something in my mind told me I was.

I woke up the next morning to a pillow being thrown at my face. I glared at where the pillow originated from. Of course it was Pein. The angry grew inside of me. Pein. The one who hurt my best friend. I took the pillow and chucked it back at the orange haired leader of the Akatsuki. He dodged it. Of course he would dodge it, he was a shinobi for kami's sake! Convincing myself that I couldn't beat him, no matter how much I wanted to, I huffed and walked towards the showers. After my shower, the cabin was empty. Pein was off somewhere, doing God-knows-what, Rose was in the nurses office, hopefully not getting mentally scarred by Jiriaya, Deidara was stuck to Rose's side like a lost dog and it's owner, and Sasori was... Wait... Where in hell was Sasori? Eh... Why did I care anyway... He was probably in the bathroom. On cue, a toilet flushed. I rushed out of the showers and quickly changed. I changed so fast (I was good at that) that I was done by the time Sasori came from the bathroom. I rummaged around for my brush and found it laying somewhere in my bag. Did Rose go through my stuff again? Probably. I was used to it. I brought my brush up to my hair and prepared for a painful time. My hair always got so tangled. I clenched my jaw and ran my brush through one half of my hair.

...

Nothing. No pain, no tangles, nothing.

...

That's impossible! I tested the next section of hair. Nothing again. What did I do differently? Let's see. I grabbed my soap, nothing new there. I grabbed my shampoo, it was mine cause I smelled orange blossoms. Then I grabbed a conditioner. A conditioner. But it didn't smell like the usual berry-like smell. It smelled... like strawberries? That was new. I walked to the showers to see which conditioner I used. Hmm... There was mine, the berry smelling one, Rose's, the flowery scent, Sasori's, an air freshener kind of scent, and Deidara's. I picked up Deidara's and opened it to take a sniff. It smelled heavenly. Strawberries. I must have picked up his instead of mine... Damn this guy has some good conditioner.

That's a scary thought. A guy having better conditioner than a girl. Wow. I must be really deprived. Speaking of deprived... Why did my parents think that sending me to this idiotic camp would humor me? Didn't they realize if they googled the name "Naruto" they would get ninja chatforms? Of course not. They thought it would be fun! Yeah sure... Sharing a cabin with three S-ranked criminals who could kill you any moment was fun. I sighed and walked back to Sasori. There was still about half an hour till breakfast. After breakfast I would go visit Rose, and try and get out of target practice today. I probably would hit someone instead of the target... Yeah... Probably. I was still lost in thought when Sasori's voice broke me from my thoughts.

"Lily... Hello? Anyone there? Lily? Wake up!" he said, like he had been talking to me and I wasn't listening. I probably was. So I muttered the oh so intelligent answer.

"Huh? What?"

"Answer my question,"

"What question?" I swear Sasori sweat dropped.

"I said, 'Do you want to get out of target practice today?'" he muttered.

"Oh... Yeah, sure... I'd probably hit someone instead of the target..." I muttered. Suddenly I imagined something.

Pein, S-ranked Missing-Nin in charge of a group of S-ranked Missing-Nins, in a pink frilly apron that said 'Kiss the cook's ass or you will die' I took a moment to absorb the mental picture.

BWHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!

I suddenly burst out laughing in the middle of what Sasori was saying. Tears were running down my face as I laughed. I could tell I was probably twitching and looked like I was having a seizure. I could feel Sasori gazing at me with the 'What the hell has come over you?' stare. After a few minutes of non-stop laughter and another minute of me getting my breath back, I finally was able to talk again.

"What the hell was that?" Sasori muttered. I was about to answer when another damned mental picture came into my head. This time it was Sasori. With blush, eyeshadow, and mascara on. I burst out laughing again. Now Sasori was staring at me with the 'You really are insane aren't you?' look. I calmed down again, but still giggling here and there.

"I swear you are insane..." he muttered. I smiled and nodded, not trusting my voice. Ah shit... The Pein in a pink frilly apron image was coming back... Only this time he was wearing make up. I burst out laughing a third time. My lungs threatened to burst. I didn't hear Sasori sigh or see him move closer. Suddenly I felt something against my lips. My eyes flashed open and widened.

Sasori was kissing me. The laughter disappeared along with the hilarious images. I was already out of breath when Sasori pulled away. To put it simply, I was dazed.

"Ok... Without laughing this time, answer my question... Why are you laughing so much?" he asked. I thought for a minute. I couldn't come up with an answer so I gave a question of my own.

"Did Sakura or Tsundae slip me some medicine?" I asked. Sasori blinked.

"Yeah... That water you drank in their office had some kind of medicine in it," he said. Ah ha. That explained a hell of a lot of things.

"Ah... No wonder I had that dream that I was being chased by pickles who threatened to kill me... That stuff only happens when I have any kind of medicine. I always have weird dreams and the next morning I imagine weird or hilarious things," I grinned. Sasori rolled his eyes and I pouted.

"It's true!" I insisted.

"Yeah sure... Breakfast is in a few minutes," he reminded. He got up to go, and was at the door when he turned around again.

"Are you coming?" he asked.

"Huh?" I, so intelligently, replied. Sasori sighed and went back and grabbed one of my wrists. What was he doing? He started to pull, er... drag me along.

"Hey!" I complained. He gave me the 'Just shut up and let me drag you,' look. I shut up and let him drag me. It was for the best anyway...

Authors Notes: Ok... That was WAY too short a chapter that took WAY too long to type... Sorry for the delay...Honors classes are dragging me down with homework. Ugh... Again... Sorry for the shortness and delay... I'll try to get the next one out by next week...
