Chapter 7:

I'm Scared

It had been a day since Naruto and Sasuke's boring battle. Reiya stuck in the key to the apartment and opened the door. "Did you notice that Sasuke had a black eye today?" she asked as we entered.

"He did?!" I was just now hearing this, "I never noticed!"

"No wonder he was trying so hard to cover his left eye!" Naruto yelled from now where.

"Wonder who had the guts to punch him in the eye," I said.

Naruto threw his arms in the air. "Who cares!!! Sasuke Uchiha got PUNCHED in the EYE! I'm just sorry it wasn't me!"

"Good point," I said agreeing.

Kakashi was sitting on the couch when I realized I still had his mask from yesterday. I walked over and stood in front of him. "You remember that yesterday morning, someone stole your mask right?"

"Yes."

"Well, let's just say I'm the one who stole it," I took the mask out of my pocket and waved it in his face. Kakashi stared at the mask. "Give it to me!" he yelled, reaching for it.

I quickly pulled it away and waved a finger at him. "Nah ah ah! You'll get it back under one condition."

Kakashi gulped, "C-Condition?"

I nodded. "You have to take off the sock...in front of all of us."

Everyone (even Kankuro) huddled behind me. Kakashi smirked under the sock. "Fine then."

He stood up and reached the top of his sock. "Be sure not to blink or you'll miss it."

And of course when he was about to pull down the sock, we blinked. And in that half a second, Kakashi managed to take the mask and get in his room. "Well that sucks," Naruto said.

"Oh shut up!" I said very pissed. I looked at his door. "This isn't over," I told it.

"I wouldn't count on it!" I heard Kakashi yell from inside.

I slammed my fist on the door and went to the kitchen. Reiya was drinking coffee. Why she was drinking coffee 6:oo in the afternoon, I'll never know. She was holding a scrubbing brush. "Why do you have that?" I asked her.

She stopped drinking for a minute, "We haven't clean in awhile, so I'll need a LOT of energy to clean this place," she started to drink it again. I shrugged my shoulders and sat at the table next to Naruto. Reiya finished her coffee and started to clean. Actually, she was abusing the furniture with her hard scrubbing rather than cleaning. Must have been all the coffee she drank.

It only took her a few minutes to finish the whole apartment when she looked at us. I nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw her face. She had so much coffee, she looked like she needed to see help. Her eyes were all big and bloodshot, a manical smile across her face. Just put make-up on and you got the Joker from Batman!

"Someone's dirty!" she exclaimed.

"Okay, I thought of the wrong thing when you said that!" I said, sitting on the back of my seat.

Reiya started to walk toward Naruto and I holding a tight grip on the scrubbing brush. "Reiya…was that coffee spiked by any chance?" I asked as I started to back away from Reiya's pursuit.

She stopped and looked at Naruto. She squinted her eyes at a MICROSCOPIC PIECE OF DIRT! I swear, Reiya was scaring the hell out of me!

She grabbed the collar of Naruto's shirt and took him into her room. I stood there petrified as I heard Naruto's blood curdling screams coming from Reiya's room. You can say I'm making a big deal out of this, but if you were there…you would be scared too.

When Naruto came out, he was all dressed in white as if he were some angel. His hair was COMBED and there wasn't a speck of dirt on him…or at least of what I could see. "I feel…pure," Naruto said.

"Oh shit!" I said, starting to run. Now Naruto was like Reiya now. A zombie programmed to NEVER stop cleaning! I banged on Kakashi's door. Once he opened it, I ran in and locked the door before he could protest. I sat on his bead to catch my breath; my legs were shaking as if they had turned to jello.

"Might I ask why you're here so suddenly?" Kakashi asked. He was probably expecting me to try and steal his mask again. That was probably the last thing that was on my mind. "Reiya and Naruto have turned into cleaning zombies."

Kakashi raised an eyebrow when I said Naruto and cleaning. "Blame the beverage called coffee," I said, still trying to catch my breath. Kakashi walked to the door and reached for the lock. "Don't!" I shouted as he turned it.

"Don't worry," he assured, "They're not in the apartment anymore."

I face scrunched up. I thought for sure I was going to be turned into a cleaning zombie. "Get Sakura and Kankuro," Kakashi ordered me.

I quickly got up and fetched Sakura and Kankuro. We followed Kakashi outside to the truck. Reiya and Naruto were scrubbing a tree. I pray to God that it wouldn't die. "Get in you two," Kakashi told them.

They were even cleaning the inside of the car. It was like they would never stop! "Where are we going?" Sakura asked once we started moving.

"Well," Kakashi started, "We got Kankuro to help us steal a tracking device and we need to steal it some time, don't we?"

"I guess, but-Kakashi! Look out!"

Kakashi looked in front of the truck. A kid probably our age stood a few inches in front of it. The car pushed under his legs, sending him on the windowsill. "Oh my God!" I yelled sitting up. "It's Rock Lee!"
