"Unnnghh.." Sasuke groaned as he blearily opened his eyes.

"Oh Sasuke-kun! You've been out for 3 days! I hope that Midnite didn't hurt you too much! That should teach you a lesson not to mess with my sister." Marikosa scolded him like he was a child.

Sasuke's eyes widened as Marikosa came over and gave him a hug. His arms slowly made their way around her waist. She pulled away too soon.

"Well the medic nin said that you would be able to leave today. Come on let's get your things packed up." Marikosa chided him.

Oh she's so pretty. Sasuke thought incoherently.

"You better not try anything or I'll make sure you'll never be able to walk again." Midnite hissed from behind him.

Sasuke tensed and shot straight up in his hospital bed.

"O-o-okay." Sasuke muttered tensely.

"Haha. Sasuke you're scared. Like the fight yesterday? I certainly enjoyed it. Anyways I was just kidding, I don't care if you date my little sis but if you break her heart I'll snap your neck got it?" Midnite's tone darkened at her threat.

"Yes!" Sasuke said.

Midnite left the room. Sasuke let out a breath. That was close.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Midnite made her way over to Gaara's room. She opened the door to find Gaara sitting up in his bed.

"You're finally awake. Thought I killed you. Like the fight much?" Midnite smirked evilly.

"What are you? You're insanely strong. Not a normal shinobi." Gaara stated looking at her sunglasses.

"Like I'm gonna tell you. Yes I am strong and always will be. You are simply weak." Midnite gritted her teeth then smirked at her last statement.

"No you are just different. Even my sand could not defeat you. I am not weak." Gaara said angrily grinding his teeth together.

"Yeah whatever. Heard your sister and brother are coming back today." Midnite stated.

"Yes. They are." Gaara answered shortly.

"Well gotta be the perfect host. Maybe I'll go tease your brother." Midnite winked and disappeared.

Gaara turned red with anger. If Kankuro tried anything with her he'd kill him. Wait it should be the other way around.

Gaara got up and dressed. Strapping his gourd onto his back he stalked out of the room. Waiting for his sibling's arrival.

Marikosa was walking with Sasuke towards Suna's gates awaiting the other two Sand siblings.

"Hey um…Marikosa? Can I ask you a question?" Sasuke asked nervously.

Sasuke cursed himself for blubbering like an idiot.

"Yeah sure what is it Sasuke-kun?" Marikosa asked and tilted her head up to meet his gaze.

"Willyougooutwithme?" Sasuke mumbled quickly.

"Eh? What did you say Sasuke?" Marikosa leaned closer to hear him.

"Better watch it pretty boy. Say the wrong thing and you'll find your head stuck up someone's butt." Midnite appeared out of nowhere and disappeared again.

"Uh..Will you go out with me Marikosa?" Sasuke asked again, more slowly this time.

".God. Of course Sasuke-kun!" Marikosa exclaimed and glomped Sasuke.

"I'll pick you at 8 tonight okay?"

"Sure."

Marikosa smiled softly as Sasuke grabbed her hand.

"Finally, I thought you'd wait until you got all old before you asked her out." Shikamaru yawned as he came up behind the couple.

"Shut up! Shikamaru!" Marikosa and Sasuke yelled.

Shikamaru just smirked and turned around to greet the rest of the team coming up behind them.

"Yeah. We get to see Kankuro today!" Naruto yelled and jumped around the gates.

I hear the two siblings coming up in the distance. Want me to tell Gaara? Midnite sent her mental message to Marikosa.

Yeah. Sure, go ahead.

Okay.

"Gaara, your sis and bro are here." Midnite drawled lazily from her post near the gate.

"How do you know?" Gaara asked smirking haughtily.

"I can see your bro's cat costume from a 1000 miles away." Midnite grinned.

"Well I have to agree with that." Gaara said.

Right on time Kankuro and Temari landed on the ground softly in front of them.

"Hello Gaara! Shikamaru, Naruto, Sasuke, and everybody else!" Temari called out.

"Hey Temari. Hi Kankuro!" Ino and Sakura said.

The girls went to go crowd around Temari gossiping about what happened over the week. All the girls except Midnite who was standing in the shadows and Marikosa who was still next to Sasuke.

"Hey who's that pretty looking girl over there?" Kankuro asked pointing to Marikosa.

"Hands off Catman! She's mine." Sasuke snarled harshly.

"Whoa. Okay. Then who's that other dangerous looking girl over there? Actually she's also beautiful." Kankuro commented.

Gaara shot an angy glare at his brother. Midnite just laughed menacingly.

"So you are Kankuro. The Cat suit man." Midnite quietly said.

"Yup. Who are you?" Kankuro asked, catching Temari's attention.

"My name is Midnite Mashakiro. To be frank I don't like you or your cat suit. Or that weird thing on your back." She smirked.

"Hey! Don't insult crow!" Kankuro yelled angrily.

"I agree with her, Kankuro" Temari laughed.

"Well…you're weird too! You and your creepy spiraly stuff and those sunglasses of yours do you even have eyes?" Kankuro sneered.

"Yes but you will never want to see them. If you see them it means your death." Midnite hissed.

Interesting. Gaara thought.

Just then Kakashi came down the street his nose buried in his Icha Icha Paradise book.

Midnite felt very evil today. Today was prank day. Woooohooooo!

Gaara watched as Midnite jumped from roof to roof. Everyone else had gone opposite directions. Kakashi was still reading his stupid book and Neji had gone to train with Rock lee and Gai.

The girls had gone shoppin. Sasuke and Marikosa had gone on their lunch date. Kiba, Akamaru, Shino, Chouji, and Shikamaru had gone to the training grounds to watch the genin spar.

Naruto, of course, went to go find a ramen stand.

Gaara stood up and took off after Midnite, his curiousity getting the better of him.

Midnite felt a familiar chakra signature behind her. She sighed. Gaara.

"What are you doing?" Gaara's unemotional voice betrayed nothing.

"Nothing. Feeling evil today." Midnite answered in a bored tone.

"What are you going to do?" Gaara asked again.

"Play some pranks." Midnite answered shortly.

"Glue some books together, steal people's underwear, make people fall on their face, you know… the usual." Midnite went on.

"Sounds fun. I'll join you." Gaara said stubbornly.

"Sigh. Okay, whatever. But let's start with Kankuro." Midnite grinned evilly.

"Hey Gaara? Do you have any super-glue?"
