Within ten seconds I was immediately bombarded by all my friends signing in, except for one whom I wished would.

NINE_TAILED_NINJA has just signed in...

NARUTO: Hey babe! You feeling better? You were asleep for hours!

AKIMA: Hey Naruto :D Yeah. I'm still a little nauceous, but I'm cool with that.

SAKURA: Akima-chan! You're awake! :D

AKIMA: Very much aware of this, Sakura-chan! :P

NARUTO: Yeah. Kinda obvious, Sakura :P

SAKURA: Nobody asked your opinion, Naruto. :(

AKIMA: LOL!

"Oh c'mon, Ino! Seriously?" I muttered when I saw her screenname.

SAKURA: Ino... what the hell is that?

INO: My screen name. Why what's wrong with it?

NARUTO: What's right with it, is probably the better answer...

INO: Shut up, Naruto! You jerk.

AKIMA: I kinda concur with his statement, Ino. It's really tacky. I thought it was FLOWER_KUNOICHI.

INO: I changed it, obviously. Besides, I happen to like it, Akima. You don't get to hog Sasuke to yourself.

AKIMA: Who's hogging who? He's my cousin, Ino. Not my personal slave!

NARUTO: That's what dreams are made of...

SAKURA: You're lucky he's not here, Naruto. He'd probably have your balls for that...

NARUTO: Good thing he's not here, isn't it?

AKIMA: I'll see to your cheeky ass later on, Naruto :P

NARUTO: Promises. Promises.

SAKURA: O_O I think I just threw up a bit...

INO: Ew...

AKIMA: But seriously, Ino. Sasuke's really not interested. Change it back.

INO: Fine. I just hope Kiba doesn't come on before I change it...

I_HEART_SASUKE-KUN changed her screenname to FLOWER_KUNOICHI

SAI: Hi.

AKIMA: Hey Sai :)

NARUTO: Hi Sai.

SAKURA: Hey!

INO: Who are you?

SAI: Sai. Who are you?

INO: Ino. How come you guys never introduced me to him?

NARUTO: 'Cause we were about to?

INO: Not fast enough.

SAI: Ok. This is boring... Bye.

HOW_IS_THIS_CHATROOM_INTERESTING_? signed out...


AKIMA: Ok. That was awkward...

NARUTO: Yeah. No kidding, what's eating him?

INO: He was rude!

AKIMA/NARUTO/SAKURA: ROTFL!

INO: What's so funny?

SAKURA: You had to be there to understand, Ino.

NARUTO: Hey, it's Hinata! Hi!

HINATA: Oh. H-hey, Naruto...

AKIMA: Hey Hinata!

HINATA: Hi Akima, how are you feeling?

AKIMA: Better thanks! We need to catch up soon. I miss hanging out with you!

HINATA: Sounds like fun :)

GAARA: I hear somebody got critically injured...

AKIMA: Not critically. I'm awake aren't I?

GAARA: Of course. But you're not like other people. I've known that for a long time.

AKIMA: That's sweet :)

SAKURA: What about you, Gaara? How are you going?

GAARA: I'll live...

NARUTO: Man, Gaara. You're no fun at all :(

GAARA: Shall I leave then?

AKIMA: No! Stay. I haven't heard from my friends since Naruto, Sakura, Sai and I went on our mission. I missed them a lot.

SAKURA: Yeah, Gaara. Please stay and don't pay any attention to Naruto. He's always been an idiot.

NARUTO: Hey!

AKIMA: Yeah, an idiot. But he's my idiot...

NARUTO: Aww... thanks, Akima! :D :D


MY_DAD'S_CALLING_ME signed out...

AKIMA: Hinata! Oh shit! Me and my big mouth...

SAKURA: It's alright, Akima. You're still high on anasthetic. You probably didn't know what you were saying... :(

NARUTO: What am I missing here? :S :S

AKIMA: Nothing, Naruto. Hinata must have needed to do something important.

SAKURA: Yeah, nothing you need to know about.

NARUTO: Alright then? :S :S

KANKURō: Gaara, what are you doing? You're supposed to be doing paperwork!

GAARA: Stop being an idiot! I'm having a break. You have no idea how tedious paperwork is.

KANKURō: You keep this up and you're gonna get busted by the council.

GAARA: Grrr...

AKIMA: Hey lay off, Kankurō. This is the happy hour. Argue on your own time.

KANKURō: Who's gonna make me? You?

AKIMA: If the shoe fits, buster!

NARUTO: Watch it, Kankurō! We're not supposed to make Akima get worked up. She's still recovering.

KANKURō: Recovering? From what?

SAKURA: From what? Didn't Gaara tell you?

KANKURō: Tell me what?

INO: Akima got badly wounded by Sasuke.

KANKURō: What? No way! I never get told anything around here. GAARA!

KIBA: Hey gorgeous! You're awake!

AKIMA: Hi Kiba :)

INO: What about me, your girlfriend?

KIBA: Oh, uh... I was getting to you. Hey baby, how you going?

INO: Fine thanks, sweetie^^

NARUTO: Ok! Next subject!

AKIMA/SAKURA: LOL!

AKIMA: So what happened after I passed out?

KIBA: Not a clue. All I did was spend time with Ino. Right?

INO: Totally :D

KIBA: You'd have to ask Shikamaru or Neji. If you can tear them away from their girlfriends long enough for them to tell you.

AKIMA: Hmmm. Do I sense a hint of bitterness?

KIBA: Not at all. It just gets a little awkward when you're in the middle of a conversation with them and they get distracted or...

AKIMA: I get the picture. EW!

ROCK LEE: HOW DARE SASUKE HURT MY AKIMA!

AKIMA: Pardon?

NARUTO: 'Your Akima'? What the hell are you talking about?

ROCK LEE: I'll avenge you, Akima!

SAKURA: Uh, Lee. Naruto's going out with Akima.

ROCK LEE: He is?

NARUTO: I am!

KIBA: Dude. Lee, you're embarrassing yourself. Stop while you're ahead.

ROCK LEE: But...but...but. :'(

INO: Oh no! Here come the water works...

ROCK LEE: That's not fair! Why would you choose Naruto over me?

AKIMA: Several reasons. 1) Naruto and I have been best friends since we were both five. 2) We shared a lot of experiences together, including experiences with Sasuke and Sakura. 3) You freak me out.

ROCK LEE: I see. The better man won, Naruto :(

NARUTO: O_o There was no contest, Bushy Brow.

ROCK LEE: But even so, Akima. I will have my revenge against Sasuke for hurting you.

AKIMA: Lee? Even if you did find Sasuke, he'd kill you within ten seconds of you fighting him. Plus, I wouldn't let you.

ROCK LEE: You're going to protect your own assaulter!

AKIMA: He's my cousin. That's what we do ;)

ROCK LEE: Cousin!

SAKURA: Yep!

NARUTO: Beat it, Bushy brow!

ROCK LEE: Alright. I'll talk to you later, Akima. Missing you already...

AKIMA: Uh? I look forward to it...

TENTEN: Hey! It's my weapon's expert! Hope you're not too sore :(

AKIMA: Sore doesn't cut it... I'm still in a lot of pain.

TENTEN: Aw, that's not good. I was hoping you'd be feeling well enough to leave the Hospital soon.

AKIMA: I should be released in two weeks. Why?

TENTEN: Because I was planning this 'Welcome back!" party for you, Sakura and Naruto. Everyone's invited!

TEMARI: Even Gaara, Kankurō and I?

TENTEN: Of course! Wouldn't be much of a party if you guys weren't there.

TEMARI: YES! Finally, a chance to see Shika again!

SHIKAMARU: Looking forward to it too :D

KIBA: Yeah, a day off training for once!

INO: And an opportunities to spend time with our sweethearts!

SAKURA: Yeah. Sweethearts :(

AKIMA: Don't worry, Sakura. I probably won't be allowed to do too much dancing anyway. I'll keep you company.

SAKURA: Oh yeah. Neji don't forget to invite Hinata, we're gonna bring along Sai for her.

NEJI: No problem.

NARUTO: I can't wait for this party! Karaoke! Woo!

AKIMA: I haven't gotten this excited since you discovered Ramen.

EVERYONE: LOL!

TENTEN: Great! Everybody meet up at Neji and Hinata's house on Friday two weeks time. It's big enough for all of us!

EVERYONE: OK!

TENTEN: Well, I have to sign off. Mom says it's dinnertime. Talk to you soon, Akima! You coming, Neji?

AKIMA: Hey, Kakashi-sensai is online :D

NARUTO: Do you think he's been told yet?

SAKURA: Only one way to find out...

KAKASHI: Hi kids, welcome back! Heard a lot from Yamato and Jiraiya.

NARUTO: Wow. That was quick...

AKIMA: What have you heard?

KAKASHI: That you found Sasuke, Akima took Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke back in time. And Sasuke stabbed Akima.

SAKURA: Quite a bit then.

KAKASHI: Yeah. But I'd like to hear it from Akima's point of view. If she's up to it.

AKIMA: Well, I'm not. Next topic please.

KAKASHI: Disappointing, but I respect your wishes. Maybe some other time. What else are you, kids up to?

KAKASHI: Hey, that sounds like fun :)

NARUTO: Sorry, Kakashi-sensai, but you're not invited.

KAKASHI: I can't go anyway. I'm supposed to be taking it easy. Using my special sharingan drained me a lot.

AKIMA: Tell me about it :)

NARUTO: Don't tempt him!

KAKASHI: Very funny, Naruto. Well, I'll talk to you kids soon. Bye.

I chuckled to myself and was about to sign out when an unexpected person signed in:

THE_AVENGER has signed in...

What the? Sasuke?

SASUKE: Hey kiddo! Been a few days...

AKIMA: Sasuke! You realise this is both reckless and stupid? Anyone could sign in...

SASUKE: Nobody's gonna sign in.

AKIMA: You better be right. And what's with the 'kiddo' comment? I thought only Itachi called you that?

SASUKE: No. He called me 'squirt'.

AKIMA: My mistake then.

SASUKE: How are you feeling?

AKIMA: I'll live, like you promised.

SASUKE: Great.

There was an awkward pause in the conversation as I waited for Sasuke to finally tell me what he wanted to say. But he didn't so I prompted him.

AKIMA: What is it that you wanted to talk to me about, that you were unable to say in front of Naruto and Sakura?

SASUKE: Just that I have no intention of ever returning to Konoha, and for you to give up on your attempts to find and bring me back.

AKIMA: You know that's never gonna happen.

SASUKE: It's worth a shot. But just warning you that the next time we meet, it won't end well, I can promise you that.

AKIMA: Thanks for the heads up.

SASUKE: No need for sarcasm, Akima. There's a time and a place :P

AKIMA: You heard me in the tunnel didn't you?

SASUKE: It's amazing what echos do, Akima. Very dumb move.

AKIMA: Grrr...

SASUKE: :)

AKIMA: Sasuke, I'm going to ask you a serious question, and I want you to answer truthfully.

SASUKE: Fire away.

AKIMA: I'm serious, Sasuke. No games.

SASUKE: I am serious. I'd do anything for you, remember?

AKIMA: Just checking. Do you actually miss your old friends here? You've been the height of gossip when everyone of our friends found out you critically stabbed me.

SASUKE: I can honestly say there are some of my old friends that I do miss. As for the gossip thing, that's very interesting.

I chuckled as I travelled down memory lane again.

AKIMA: So would you object for a 'once-in-a-lifetime-never-gonna-happen-again' reunion?

SASUKE: Depends...

AKIMA: There will be rules, of course.

SASUKE: Only if I can stand with you at all times.

AKIMA: If you can stand to be next to Naruto, sure.

SASUKE: You're not making this tempting. But because it's only a once off thing. I'll consider it. When do you want to do this?

AKIMA: Tenten's having a 'welcome home' party on Friday in two weeks for Sakura, Naruto and I. I'll subtly suggest a game to them and we'll go from there.

SASUKE: I'm liking this idea less and less.

I was about to rebuke Sasuke for being such a baby before a knock on the door almost causes me to throw my laptop across the room.

"Yeah?" I called out.

"Akima? It's me. You alright?" asked Naruto, sounding concerned. I must've made more noise than I thought.

"Yeah. I'm cool! Hang on!" I called back. I turned back to my laptop and hastily typed to Sasuke.

AKIMA: Sasuke. I gotta go. I'll come back on later.

SASUKE: Sure. I'll talk to you later. See ya.

AKIMA: Love you xx

SASUKE: Love you too :)
