I AM SO SO SO SO SO SORRY! I've been so busy this week, and I haven't had anytime to update! And is being a bitch, so I can't post the one-shot I was going to. Sorry for all of you who were waiting.

It's like 12:00 at night as I write this, so this one's short.

Remember: Own Naruto, I do not.

Jugo and Karin soon reported to where Sasuke, Chikazi, and Suigetsu were.

Jugo stared at her, a crazy look in his eyes, "Who's she, Sasuke?"

Chikazi spun around to stare at the new arrivals. She noted that in their eyes, Jugo looked crazy, and Karin looked mad at her. What had she done? Karin's gaze fixed elsewhere, and Chikazi followed it. It went straight to Sasuke's face, and Chikazi stifled a laugh. She thought Sasuke liked her. Uh-oh, jealousy… NOT a good thing.

She looked down shyly, "Uh, hi, I'm Chikazi…"

Sasuke smirked, "She's the newest member of our group. She has no skill at all, so Karin, I appoint you her sensei."

Jugo walked up next to Sasuke, "Are you mad?" He hissed, "No skills, NONE AT ALL?! She's useless!"

Chikazi turned to look at him, a steely glare on her face, "What did you call me?" She asked, her voice a monotone. She took a step towards Jugo, who couldn't find any words.

Karin stepped in, "He called you useless, you little bitch! And he's right! If you can't fight why are yo-!" Chikazi punching her cut her off.

"DON'T call me useless!" Chikazi growled.

Jugo was backing away from her slowly, his crazy eyes flashing. Chikazi turned to him, ready to pounce and-.

"Enough." Sasuke's voice cut through the air like a knife. "Fighting will get you nowhere. Now stop this."

Chikazi sighed, turning back to Jugo, "No hard feelings, right?" She asked, suddenly kind.

"U-uh… Yeah…" He muttered.

She smiled, "Great." Turning back to Sasuke, she asked, "So… where are we going?"

He looked down at her, and then at Karin, "I've changed my mind. Karin will not be training Chikazi-san, I will." He then looked at Chikazi, "You and I will be trying to track down my older brother, Itachi."

Chikazi looked startled for a second, "Wait," She said, addressing Karin and Jugo, "Did either of you see a in the forest with hair and brown eyes, that's a little taller than me?"

Karin shook her head, but Jugo looked thoughtful, "No, I didn't see her, but I did see a member of Akatsuki over in the land of Wind, a couple of days ago."

A vein in Sasuke's forehead throbbed, "You did?! Why didn't you tell me?!" He said, for the first time having some emotion in his voice.

Jugo took another step back, "I-I didn't think it was important. He didn't look like the guy you told us to look for, so I left him alone."

Sasuke got a really off look on his face, "My brother," He hissed the word like it was some kind of poison, "Is a member of Akatsuki. We could have captured that man, Jugo! We could have gotten information out of him!"

Jugo took another step back, scared of Sasuke's anger, "I-I'm sorry, Sasuke…"

Sasuke sighed, annoyed. "Land of Wind, huh? Well, Chikazi," He looked down at her, "I think we know where we are going. As for the rest of you," He looked around at the other three, "Go back to your former coordinates. Continue looking for members of Akatsuki. Alert me if you find any." He took Chikazi's hand, causing Karin to glare at the other , and the two of them disappeared.

Karin sighed, "I really dislike that …" Having said that, she, too, disappeared.

Jugo took one look at Suigetsu and said, "Later, Sharkman." Then he disappeared.

Suigetsu sighed, that Chikazi was a peculiar one, all right, but if she helped then he had no issues with her. He quickly got up, and resumed his search of the area.

Again, sorry for the late update! Review please, and I'll get my one-shot up as soon as possible!
