Due to a few comments on here and by my friends about Kaori not being a baby any more I have change this chapter her a little so it may be confusing so let me explain a little beforehand. All of what happened in the past 2 chapters were dreams. Except the Akatsuki talking. But from the 'Duck Tape Queen' was a dream to Kaori. So if everyone likes this chapter over the different age let me know and I'll keep going with it as a dream.

It all seemed so real but as I opened my eyes from my spot under my bed I knew I had fallen asleep under there.

"So everything was a dream?" I questioned myself out loud.

"Depends. What do you think was a dream?" I heard her voice and I hit my head on the bottom of the bed. Her voice was so high pitched and playful that is was scary. But this wasn't Ameko in my dreams. This was Kaika. I knew her well as we were close friends but I hadn't seen her in so long I was worried to see her again.

How had she even gotten in? The Akatsuki had a great security system of 10 S-class ninja's. That seems to of been broken by a 5 year old. Sad…. I dipped my head from under the bed and looked up at her, her hair seeming brighter then normal but it was still the same blood red I remember but now there were streaks ringed colour all over her hair. It was still long, lapping at her lower back easily as it hung lose. Her eyes watched me, the Aqua colour burning into me as I once remembered it to be.

I kept looking at her, taking her in fully as I saw the outfit she was wearing. It wasn't an outfit as such but more just the bandage wrapped from just under her neck right to her stomach as it met with a pair of black pants, ripped in random places. Atop the bandages was a purple mid drift that was also ripped but upon it was stains of blood.

I looked at her still, "Kaika?" I spoke almost a deathly whisper as she gave me a smile. I moved from under the bed and she barely gave me time to stand before she had me in a death-gripped cuddle... A Kaika Glomp...

I gave a panicked yelp but I still hugged her back roughly and she seemed to start jumping, "Yay! Kaori is back! Kaika missed Kao-Chan."

"I'm not back. You were the one that invaded me," I whined softly but kept hugging the red haired girl and she kept jumping with me.

"Kaika-Chan doesn't care. Kaori is here!" she laughed as she jumped and I let her go but she just reattached herself to me. I sighed and walked from my room where I looked out to see everyone standing in the hallway looking at us.

I saw a death glare on Deidara but apart from that everyone was just gawking at how they didn't notice her. Obviously they all felt ashamed.

I looked at Kaika who was just looking at everyone and she was gawking also, "You didn't tell me you were staying with Cute Guys."

They were looking at her closely until Pein spoke up with no emotion in his eyes, "Kaika... welcome back."

She let me go and she ran and gave Itachi one of her Glomps before doing the same to Tobi but this member fought back and glomped her until she gave a squeal and I laughed.

"So... you know these boys, Kaika? It could get you in trouble," I smiled at her and she laughed at me slightly.

"These are my bestest buddies! Weasel-Chi and I are BESTIES! Right?" she laughed and looked at him and he did his usual huff and turned to walk away. Then with a looped grin she looked at Tobi, "And Tobi is my LOLLIPOP buddy!"

"Yes Tobi is Kaika-Chans Buddy!" He glomped her again and this time she hugged him harder making him give a squeal and I started laughing.

"I see then," I said softly as I stepped back from the hug off before one of them dragged me in but not in time as the red haired girl wrapped her fingers around my wrist and pulled me in as they started bounce.

"THREE LITTLE MONKEYS JUMPING ON THE FLOOR…" Kaika Screamed with laughter as Tobi joined in and I just jumped to make her happy. And she was rather happy with it all.

Then I was pulled away by a hand as something wet got me and I screamed a childish scream and pulled away to find Kaika and Deidara both laughing. Hand Mouths. Grrrr.

Like to say a Thanks to DAVLA(Dark Angel Vs Light Angel) for Kaika as she is my bestie in real life and helped me greatly through this chapter. I'd also like to give a shout to Shia Chi No Ame for some ideas also though she may not even know she did.

Well long wait but ANYWAYS, hope you enjoyed this chapter.
