Hi! Soooooooo sooooooooo sorry I haven't updated in ages... and I have NO excuse. But SERIOUSLY I was just grounded, and before that we were moving into our new house. So please, I beg you from the bottom of my heart (corny much, lol), to forgive!

By the way, thank you soooooooo much for the reviews! I love them ALL (minus one, try to guess which one!). I won't torture you all and say 'so' again, but I will say in conclusion. Here it comes...::

In conclusion to all those who read my story/stories (yay! I have fans!) thanks, and I will try to update soon, 'kay?

Thump

'Ouch'

'Get up'

'No…'

'Now.'

'Later…'

Whoosh

'Leave me alone… Give me back my damn quilt.'

'Get up.'

'No.'

I sat bolt upright as cold as ice water was poured over my barely covered body. Shivering I looked for the source of my discomfort. Chirou stood beside my bed with an empty bucket held by his side. I glared at him, attempting to burn holes into his body. It wasn't working, but it was better than nothing, right? A giggle escaped my lips. I tried to stifle traitorous sound, but it was too late, the damage was done.

Chuckles erupted from Chirou's mouth and I found myself laughing along with him. We stayed like that for a few minutes more, just enjoying the company. It was gonna be a long day without him, it was moments like this that made me remember why I loved my friends. They laughed at the stupid things that we did, and always made me laugh along with them. They were the best.

The last thought made me miss Lexi and Nick for the first time in days. We were always like this together, always laughing, always horse playing, always just being there for each other. Damn… Oh well, I'm gonna see them soon anyways, it's been a whole week, I'll find a way to see them even if it means hurting someone. Haha, yeah right. Like I could even land a punch on one of the shinobi here! I've found out the hard way that I was NO match for any of them! Insert nervous giggles.

Chirou and I slowly sobered up and he grinned devilishly at me.

"C'mon,you have to get ready for training, and I need to get some breakfast. So I'll be all fueled up to annoy you!" My eye twitched.

"Shut. Up. And. Leave. Me. Alone." I told him, aggravated.

"Whatever you say, Lynx." I growled in response, but his grin merely widened.

Fuck him, I was cold, wet, and tired he was gonna leave me alone to get ready this minute, or he would face the wrath of a woman in the morning. I think most of you know by now that that is not something anyone wants to face.

I narrowed my eyes and sent him a death glare that gave him visible goosebumps.

I think Chirou got the picture. How do I know this? Because he backed out of the room slowly with fear oh so evident in his eyes. And I, being the sadist I was, enjoyed every minute of it. Insert evil laughter.

Breakfast was over and Chirou had just dropped me off at the training field, hugging me goodbye. Today was my first day of being a real part of Team 7. Oh joy, note the sarcasm.

Sakura stood near Sasuke, not quite as near as she used to be, but still within a three feet of him. Naruto was just arriving and Kakashi wasn't any where to be seen (what a surprise). I walked towards Sakura, smiling as I walked.

"Hey," I said, "What's up?"

"Waiting, what about you?" Replied she, with about as much enthusiasm as a snail. At least I wasn't the only bored one.

"Same… Fun, fun, fun!" I exclaimed sarcastically.

Sakura laughed dryly at my comment. We both sighed simultaneously, and burst into real laughter. Staring straight at us with a 'What the fuck is wrong with you' look, was one Sasuke Uchiha. He looked sooo hot… NO! I did not just think that! OK, I did, and he is fucking cute. Hehe, yeah, he is. My mind wandered to places that should not be expressed in print. Yeah, I think you know what. Oh how immature I was, cuz yeah, I'm not immature now or anything… Hehheh…

Sakura's eyes darted to Sasuke and tears welled up in them, though they settled almost straight away. What was wrong?

"Sakura, you OK?" I frowned slightly, I might be stupid, but people-stupid I am not (if that makes any sense at all).

"Ye-yeah, of course." She laughed slightly, basically ignoring Sasuke.

"Yo," Kakashi broke the tension with his usual lazy greeting. Men, insert sigh here.

"Kakashi!!" I squealed excitedly, if I wasn't going to be evil to him, I might as well be his fangirl, right?

"Lynx," He acknowledged.

"Ooohhh! He said my name! Eep! Kaka, do you like me? No- wait- that's not right! Do you luuuuurrrrvvvvveeee me?" Kakashi looked bewildered, even behind his mask.

Naruto, on the other hand, just looked scared. And Sasuke? Bored. Heh, what a surprise…

"Uh-- Lynx, are you feeling OK?"

"Perfect, now that you're here Kakashi." I purred with a wink.

"Lynx, I know that losing Chirou was traumatic but you don't have to take it out on us." Sasuke deadpanned.

"Shut up, bastard. You just want Kakashi all to yourself. Well, you can't have him! He lurvs me and I lurve him!" I spat at the ravenette, receiving a bored look in return.

"Lynx, really, maybe you should rest." Kakashi suggested, feigning interest.

"NO! I can't! Kakashi, I'd miss you too much. Please, I could never leave you!" I pleaded, my eyes watering (years of practice, what can I say?).

"Lynx, just shut up, let's start training already." Kakashi sighed loudly, aww, my disruption would be pulled to an untimely end. "Today we will be covering…"

The day rolled by in the blink of an eye, OK, more like a million blinks and another billion blah's from Kakashi. Yeah, it was boring. Uneventful, and boring. We didn't too much, just basically sparred. Then Kakashi lectured us on what we'd done wrong and how to improve our fight. What did he tell me, though? Blah blah blah. Sigh.

We ended training with a bowl (or eight in Naruto's and my case) of ramen. Then headed home, Sakura and I walking together a while before setting off. It was simple a boring day with a boring ending.

But what can ya do? Right…?
