Author's Note: Even shorter than the first. I still do not own Bleach or Naruto. Please give credit and thanks to the original authors, Tite Kubo for Bleach and Masashi Kishimoto for Naruto. Please review.


The number one hyperactive knuckleheaded ninja woke up earlier that same day with a bit of a surprise in his room. It was a group of people, including a tall man, a boy with bright hair, a girl with a temper, and a kid with an attitude.

"Kakashi-sensei, Gaara, Sakura, and Sasuke! What are you all doing here so early in the morning?"

"You idiot! It's almost noon and you're still sleeping! Lady Hokage wants to assign us another mission, and you're not even dressed!" yelled Sakura as she walked up to his bed and gave him a deadly punch. That sure knocked him out of bed. "You even are later than Kakashi-sensei himself!" Wow, he sure found out how late he was then.

"Oh…. Then why is Gaara here?" Naruto asked still a bit out of it after being punched as he just woke up.

"Ummm…. That of course has nothing to do with the author's personal preference towards me," said the only sand ninja there.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Okay, whatever. I need to get dressed," Naruto said as he started stripping off his pajamas.

"Not when I'm here, you don't!" Sakura threw another punch; the others couldn't blame her for that one.

"We'll meet you at Lady Hokage's. Try and hurry up," Kakashi told him.


Kisuke Urahara had no choice, he called the soul society. Hope this doesn't cause too many problems for Yamamoto over there. I would hate to get him angry, Kisuke thought. I'm probably dead meat already for not telling him I was borrowing two captains, one vice-captain, and a should-be-but-not a seat officer.

"Yes, what is it, Urahara?" asked the ancient soul reaper.

"Um…."

"Don't tell me your experiment went up in flames," said the old man, a slight chuckle to himself for the pun connecting to his zanpakutou. "I know that doesn't usually happen with your inventions, but I need those ranked officers you borrowed and Rukia back here right away. Reported arrancar in numerous places other than Karakura for once. The substitute would also be of great use."

Thinking fast, Urahara decided he could make up some excuse. I'm smart; it's my invention. I'll come up with someway to get them back… "Uh, injuries. Yes, injuries. It may be awhile before they can come back to help. Sorry, a ball hit my machine and it backfired a bit."

The word backfired reminded Yamamoto of his pun towards his zanpakutou; a slight chuckle again. It put the experimenced soul reaper in a good mood, great news for Mr. Hat-and-Clogs. "I'll send someone from squad four right away. You won't need anymore than that, right? I presume Inuoe is there, helping?"

Drat, someone to report my mistake, but can't get out of it now. "Yes, yes, of course. Busy as a bee. Thank you, Head Captain." Urahara turned off the communicating screen and turned around to walk to his basement again. Got to get them out quick and give them injuries when they get back. What fun. He grinned.


Author's note part 2: Ta ta ta... explaining a quote, just in case you don't get it. I try and make things clear.

"It was a group of people, including a tall man, a boy with bright hair, a girl with a temper, and a kid with an attitude." Meant to fool you a little bit into thinking the group is, in this order as the descriptions, Byakuya (or Renji, I guess; tall), Ichigo (bright head), Rukia (can have a temper, mainly towards Ichigo and Renji), and Hitsugaya (well, complains a bit here and there... doesn't like to be treated as little... ya know?). I try... let me know if it fooled you, even if a little. As it turned out, it was just Kakashi (who I think is pretty tall), Gaara (all right, in the manga, it's a darker red to almost brown, but the anime has a bright red, so pickle posh to you), Sakura (who can have a temper, mainly towards Naruto and Ino), and Sasuke has his attitude. Please no complaints. I was going for fooling you.

And Gaara being there has nothing to do with my obsession with him. Nothing.

Also review, por favor.
