Hey, Akemi here once again. Forth chappie and finally where things start to get a little interesting. Thanks for bearing with me through the first few chapters. Had to have been a little tough but hopefully this'll make up for it!

Sasuke: Akemi doesn't own Naruto. Just the plot of this story.

Karin: Sasuke-kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun! Why are we still heeeeerrrrreeeee?!

Suigetsu (someone please tell me if I spelled that right. It's 3 in the morning and I'm too tired to look it up): SHUT UP KARIN NO ONE LIKES YOU! NOW GO THE FUCK AWAY!

Karin: wha- …bu-… he-… you-… Sasuke-kun! Aria! Are you really going to let him talk to me like that?!

Sasuke: Hn. (Yes because it's true. Gotta be bilingual when talking with Sasuke)

Akemi: *Hits her* IT'S AKEMI YOU DUMB SLUT! NOT ARIA! HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET ARIA?! AND FUCK YEAH HE CAN TALK TO YOU LIKE THAT CAUSE HE'S TELLING THE FUCKING TRUTH!
*everyone stares at her*

Akemi: …ummm…. On with the show!

Sasuke POV

I watched her as she slumped in her chair. The pinkette had been working herself to the bone. It took fifty days but she finally got the vaccine figured out and distributed. We had seen them camping their first day out. We were close enough to the village that the three of us left Suigetsu, Karin, and I started masking our chakra. It's how they didn't notice. The four of them moved so effortlessly together. It was magnetizing. I didn't like they replaced me but it was to be expected. What surprised me the most was how Sakura had taken the lead so easy. One exchanged nod with Kakashi and she had taken over. I had already known she was thinking of something. She was distracted, yet aware. When they passed the caves and I saw the strange look she got from Naruto I concluded they were looking for a place to rest, but she wasn't planning on the caves.

He watched her tell the replacement, Sai, to gather firewood. He obeyed instantly and Kakashi and the dobe started putting up tents. The twist kind. The ones that go up and tear down easy. I watched as she surveyed and then went to work… sort of. I saw her concentrating look, bored, yet focused. Like she'd done it a million times. I watched as she raised her right pinky and tapped the ground, creating a small, campfire sized dent in the ground.

That guy came back with wood and that same look came across her face. Her hand glowed and she sucked the moisture right out of the branch. Then the three went into the tents. Naruto was forced to wait outside for a minute. Then she came out. Sakura had really filled out. Her chest barely kept decent by the forehead protector that looked like it was tied to the t-shirt fishnet. A pair of spandex shorts hugged her hips, showing off her shapely rear. Soon all of them were down to either their sleepwear or their skivvies (Naruto). She sent Naruto and Kakashi away, to wash the clothes I assumed. Sakura started cooking and soon there was a delicious smell coming from the pot where she was creating a camping culinary masterpiece.

Sai acted as her little lap dog. They were also constantly insulting each other but it seemed… different… affectionate almost. They all ate and she used tent poles to hang up the clothes. Then they went to bed, with her having first watch. I felt like a stalker, watching her like this. But I just kept watching. Kakashi took over after a while and she folded the now-dry clothes and put them where they all belonged.

This pattern followed for three days. On the forth Sakura came out of her tent a bit later than usual. She had a new addition to her outfit. Another forehead protector, on her right arm just below her shoulder. It had the sand village symbol on it. Wonder what that's about… I mused.

"Sasukeeeee-kuuuuuuuuun!" I heard a whine behind me, bringing me back to the present. "Can we go now? It's soooo boring watching that pink slut and those guys!" Normally I don't hit girls but for Karin, after she made that comment, I gladly made an exception. The loud thwack of my backhand echoed loudly in the otherwise silent air, and her annoying little whine.

"Get out of here Karin. You are nothing but an annoying, selfish, spoiled little whore and I am tired of your constant complaining. You have five seconds to leave before I slaughter you where you stand." I felt immense satisfaction at the fear shooting through her eyes before she turned and ran like the coward she is. I started to smirk but cut off abruptly. My old sensei, was in the room with Sakura. So was the dobe. And they were staring right at me.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnd a cliffhanger! Not a true SasuSaku without a few dramatic moments like that. I'll get to working as soon as I can but for now, ja ne!
