Majority rules. Shizune stays. Sorry if you wanted a breakup. Sly, I hate you and your persuasive, yet stupid, ways! See you in Mrs. Lowe's class (you had better survive it or else)! Chapter four.

Chapter Four

Enter: Sound Nins-Mission: Uhhh…

"Stupid Kin! Always getting stuck on a tree! Couldn't she use her chakra to climb down at least?" muttered Zaku as he watched his exhausted teammate struggling to get down from an oak. Dosu stood under the shade of the tree.

"Oooo…Ahhhh…a tree…"

"Dosu, stop staring at the tree and get me down! Zaku, you too or else I'll pound you to death!" screamed fourteen-year-old Kin Tsuchi.

"Oooo…Ahhhh…a talking tree…"

"Hmph! Get down yourself. Why waste my precious time with you?" said Zaku.

Kin, who looked pretty irritated, got sick of listen to her teammates complain (not including Dosu who was still staring at the tree with great interest, but she's still upset with him too). With her right hand, she held the branch she was sitting on and swung down into a certain fluffy, poofy, cute, and other adjectives back. Standing up, she noticed where she had landed as she blushed ferociously. Dosu looked surprised, at least the expression on his left eye. Zaku sat in the background on fire (not literally).

"…Uh…thanks for catching me? ..." said Kin unsure.

"…Yeah…you're welcome…I think…" he said as he eyed the tree behind her. (Too bad she thinks that he's looking at her.)

"Grrr!" growled Zaku and grabbed out one of his handle-less kunai without his teammates noticing. "Diiieee! Nobody steals my woman!" he says without thinking as he lounges at Dosu but lands on Kin. (He sure has bad accuracy.)

Kin blushed even more as she heard that. But a small voice in her whisped Dude! You're not gonna just let that punk sit on you are you? And he called you his 'woman'! You belong to no one besides your sensei and Lord Orochimaru! Listening to that, her face tuned back to its original color as she slapped Zaku hard on the face.

"Get off me, you pervert!" she screamed as she threw him off. (Warning for the boys: Never do that. A woman's that strong when you anger her. I know. I've seen it happen before. Creepy but Cool!)

Just before she was about to whack him on the head, they noticed the oh-so-obvious Kabuto rushing to his beloved at the bridge. The rumor of the date had spread all over Otogakure a few minutes after the Sound Four heard about it.

Asking their sensei for permission (yes, he's there), they transformed themselves with the best disguise ever, those funny glasses with a large nose and mustache, and followed him in another disguise, that square rock which Konohamaru uses all the time, available in two colors: pale brown and light brown, no cash accepted. (Hehheh…Need to practice on advertising.)

As he ran towards the destination, he couldn't help noticing a strange, square rock stalking him. Being the clever Kabuto, he could've figured out who was under the rock. But since he was in a hurry and that his glasses were ruined, there was no time to notice. Running faster, the rock followed at the same speed.

Shizune, too, was running as fast as she could to get to the bridge. Ton-Ton just had to run off at the last second and it was her job to find her. Kabuto would not only breakup with her if she was late, he would also go off with that insane Anko. Running faster than the wind, all she saw was the blur the trees looked as she passed them and not notice a pig following her in the disguise of an upside down box with feet.

There was the bridge as they both saw it and…BAM! Their heads smacked right into each other, their lips forcefully touching. Orochimaru and Tsunade, who were also following without a disguise, saw it as their mouth gaped open.

Tsunade couldn't believe it. Shizune and Kabuto had already kissed. Soon, they would get married, and have children, and make her take care of their migets. She fainted right into the arms of her ex-crush as he had just barely caught her.

Turning around, Kabuto and Shizune saw an unconscious Tsunade in the arms of Orochimaru. Good thing Jiraiya who was wandering around for Tsunade wanting to tell her about his love for her arrived. His first reaction: faint. Tsunade woke up just in time to see Jiraiya on the ground and her apprentice gaping.

"Wha- B-but master, you guys were our role models. And this is what you do? Flirt around with each other? We are so disappointed in you guys. Oh well. I guess we could let it go," said Kabuto and Shizune as they headed for the best dating/food area: the famous Ichiraku. And yes, they're still followed.

"Two bowls of ramen in miso soup," ordered Kabuto to the ramen girl, Ayame, as he gazed lovingly into the eyes of his date. (Eww. I hate it when people do that!)

Shizune felt her face burn as she tried to turn her head away but found that it was immobilized.

"You better hurry and eat it up before it cools," suggested Kabuto with his playful smirk.

"Oh…okay," she answered taking a large slurp out of her bowl.

There wasn't much to say but the silence was unbearable.

"So...anything planned for tomorrow?" he asked.

"No, why?" asked Shizune.

"Wanna come over to my place? You should meet the guys."

"'Kay," she said.

Behind them Zaku asked, "Did you get all that?"

The other two nodded as they held up a tape recorder.

Meanwhile, in Ton-Ton's clever disguise, she held her own.

So how was that chapter? Didn't have enough time to update sooner 'cause of testing. Stupid quizzes! And I bet I failed. I was just randomly bubbling in each answer. Mom's gonna kill me if I get a C or lower. Next chapter, I'll try to write more about Kimimaro and Tayuya. If you want, I'll try adding in some SakonTayu or KidouTayu.
