A/N: Okay, Return of Manda... Sounds good! Well, i wonder what's gonna happen? Kungfu showdown...or light chat? SHOWDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!!! GO MANDA AND ( i didn't think i'd be saying this but...) SASUKE!!!!!!!

Deidara and Hidan shivered as the cool night air blew gently up the back of their robes, giving them both goosebumps. Hidan jumped as a bug crawled over his hand. Manda's eyes were fixed on the boy upon his head. Mouth open, he looked like something from a horror movie...

"Manda...", Sasuke said suddenly. He guestured to the two little demons and they hid in the hollow of a tree... Manda hissed.

"What? Don't tease me Sasuke... You aren't my master...", It hissed.

"Manda...Chow time...", Sasuke said with a grin. Manda hisssed, eyes lighting up like fire, glowing omniously in the growing darkness... The Akatsuki members in the glade stood, frozen...horrified as the huge snake began to slither across the ground. Sasuke jumped off as the mightly snake dipped its head and landed on a fallen tree branch... The glade's perfect silence was shattered by the dozen or so fleeing Akatsuki's screams. Manda chuckled darkly as he snapped at Sasori.

"Manda, don't hurt the kids...just the cloaked people...", Sasuke said as he sliced his thumb, running it along the snake-like tattoo twisting and winding, the whole length of him arm... The smell of sulphur filled the air as fog drifted around the snake-master, untill it was completely concealing him... Manda took a huge lunge, just missing the fleeing Deidara's ankle by inches...but grabbed enough of his Akatsuki cloak to throw him skyhigh... Manda paused as the fog cleared...revealing the massive white snake, it's pale, shimmering scales gleaming in the pearlecent glow of the moon... It's eyes were the colour of blood...sharingan clearly visible in the shiny reflective depths...

"Manda, slow down. Take your time...", The new snake hissed. Manda grunted and returned to the still flying Deidara, bringing his massive jaws upwards... Deidara screamed as he narrowly missed a fang, falling into the cavernous depths of the monster snake... Hidan shot curses everywhere as the snake swallowed and shot him an evil look through his gleaming eyes... Hidan squeaked as a massive shadow blocked the moon above him...

"FUCK!!!! OHH MY GOD!!!!! FUUUUUCCCCKKKK!!!!", he screamed pitifully as he was hoisted in the air by the massive mouth, still clawing the air for his missing scythe...that lay a few metres away against a tree... The Sasuke-snake threw him up, launched, caught...and swallowed the still cursing Hidan...

Daimen watched the massive black snake move across the battlefeild...crashing, crushing and catching the Akatsuki members one by one... He shivered as the massive snake swallowed the girly, Deidara whole. Note to self...NEVER annoy uncle Sasuke!

W-W-Why does h-h-he have to do that? Little Suki shivered.

Because he does okay? Sasuke told the snake to stay away from us anyway... I'm going to help uncle Sasuke!

You'll be killed!!

Nah! I'm a demon!!!

Don't leave me!!!!!!! Suki mentally screamed as Daimen bolted out the hole in the trunk of the tree...

He changed forms simultaneously, into that of a snarling, miniature tanuki and ploughed into the hiding Sasori.

'Ohhh so you want to figh now do you? Great, first a giant snake and now mini demon!!!", Sasori grumbled as he reconnected with Kazura and placed the puppet infront of himself...a last stand, that eventually failed. Daimen dodged all the hidden weapons and attacks gracefully...and brought his salivating jaws home for the last time. Sasori brought out his last defence, a pocket knife and jabbed at Daimen...catching the unsuspecting Demon as he ripped into Sasori's chest, attacking the false heart...the heart that held his lost soul...Sasori's deep, brown eyes went dim as the life faded from his body and he collapsed onto the forest floor...bringing the wounded Daimen down with him. The landing only drove the short knife deeper into Daimen's chest, he gave out a spluttered gasp as he connected. Suki screamed and ran from the tree. The snakes, after hearing and feeling the hustle, turned towards the demons.

"Crap! Daimen!!!! Manda, you are released...", Sasuke said hastily as he changed states again, the smaller snakes twisting and swarming back into his body. Manda-sai hissed at the retreating Uchiha in the trees.

"YOU PROMISED ME SASUKE!!!!!", he roared as he lunged for Tobi, demolishing more trees. Sasuke growled.

"I have no time for you now Manda!!!!!!", he said as he tossed his samuri-sword at the snake, catching it in the chest. The huge snake burst into smoke and dissapeared as Sasuke ran over to the fatally injured Daimen... Daimen let out a small groan before a small river of blood escaped his loose lips...Suki screamed shrilly and ran over to the rock in the middle of the glade. Sasuke searched the Demon's features for any sign of faking, but regretably...the knife was still there, Daimen was still struggling to breathe...and the pool of crimson was growing bigger and bigger...reflecting the full moon as an eerie red disk...

"Daimen, Daimen!!! Speak to me Daimen!!! Come on, your mother and father are going to kill me!!!", he cried. Sasuke turned towards the rock, Suki was sitting at the top rocking back and forth...

"Suki, come here!!!", Sasuke said loudly, not shouting but still loudly... Suki looked up with red, glowing eyes... She stood up, determinedly and strode over to the motionless, wooden corpse of Sasori. Sasuke stood up and slowly made his way over to her...leaving the heavilly breathing Daimen for a second. She stood, pale and tall, over the moonlit body, eyes searching the body... Sasuke put his small delicate hand on her thin shoulders... She looked at him through the corner of her eye, searching...She was confused, hurt and angry, Sasuke cound feel the emotions from a few feet away, and her shoulders were heaving...like she was taking Daimen's breaths...

Suki, are you okay?", he said quietly. Her blood, red eyes fixed on the body below her, a strangled cry was all she could manage before she lifted her head to the sky. A mini tornado of sand surrounded her...totally engulfing her tiny frame and pushing Sasuke backwards towards the tree...

"Ohh crap...whatever this is, it can't be good!!!", he said to himself as he wrapped his hands around the nearest tree, to steady himself...

The miniature whirlwind grew even bigger a few seconds later, turning into a massive sandstorm. Shit, she's gone into bloodlust already????? Sasuke thought to himself as he looked back a Daimen. He was stiil on the ground, and seemed unnafected by the sand-gale. All of a sudden the dust and dirt settled to reveal a massive Shukaku. Eyes gleaming, it turned to the wounded Daimen... Sasuke inched himself off the tree and carefully, but stupidly, towards the massive demon. she turned and hissed at him, long fangs bared and hooked...eyes gleaming wickedly in the rising dawnlight...

"Suki, it's just-".

"There is no more Suki!!!", It laughed evilly. A low-pitched feminine voice echoed through the glen... Sasuke started to back away as it raised it's head to the skies... A long, streached-out, lonely note traveled through the air, immediately sending shivers through Sasuke's body. It stopped yowling and sat, just like a dog, on it's hindquarters...

A few seconds later an answering call echoed back, but this time...it was deeper, more controlled...Gaara... Sasuke immediately thought to himself as he watched the demon in front of him lift its head and yowl back. He turned back to the injured Daimen, who was now starting to breathe deeper...Sasuke shivered as Suki's calls were returned again, this time twofold. The haunting notes of the adult demons was utterly chilling... Sasuke walked over and picked up Daimen.

"Whatever your name is! Take your brother back to your parents... I can't come any further", Sasuke shouted at the smaller demon... It hissed abruptly and trudged over to him, its huge feet leaving wide holes in the soft grass... It lowered it's head towards the crumpled and groaning body in Sasuke's arms. He lifted Daimen a little so the demon could place him in its mouth. Sasuke hissed, as a knife-sharp tooth sliced through his gloves, into his already delicate knuckles...

"Be carefull, and hurry up!!", Sasuke shouted as the demon took off into the long grass before the great plains of sand... Too bad I can't go anywhere... I just hope that little demon doesn't squeal on me...Otherwise Gaara will have his whole army after me Sasuke thought to himself as he bounded into the trees. He looked down at the tattoo, glowing a blood-red-purple on his arm...

"Okay Manda, you can come out...", He said as the shivering sensations traveled down his arm, into some...very...unwanted places...

"Where can I eat?", Manda hissed as he opened his onyx eyes slowly, blinking at the change of scenery...

"Do you feel like Konoha straglers or Suna wanderers?", Sasuke asked the snake slowly. There was no use in arguing that the huge snake live off livestock...it was usually more picky when it came to food, and restricted itself to...fast food... The snake swung around to face him.

"Konoha straglers...or villagers?", The huge purple snake hissed... Sasuke shook his head and lept off towards his base, leaving the snake, talking to itself in the middle of the glen...

God snakes are crazy... Sasuke thought to himself as he bounced off the springy oaks... The dawn rays caught the new, white highlights in his hair ethereally, giving off a soft white glow, undeneith the harsh raven-black...

A/N: Well i guess Sasuke left. He wasnt much of a character anyways :)

OMG OMG OMG!!!! Daimen is hurt badly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What will Suki do? What will Gaara and Saskura do? TOOOOO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!
