"Hello," Chii spoke, composing herself quickly and thought of a lie. "I was just talking to my Summoner Tiger. I always bring her out at night for a couple minutes. What are you doing up this late?"

"Her? Sounded like there were two males up here," his eyes narrowed and Chii smiled.

"I think your hearing things Kazekage," she lied smoothly but saw his eyes narrow even more and saw sand come out from his gourd.

"You better stop lying to me. I have gotten very good at seeing when someone lies. Who sent you?" Gaara snapped and Chii imagined killing him.

"What are you talking about?" chii snapped but felt something hit her in the gut hard, making her cough up blood from the impact.

"Who are you?" he snapped as sand wrapped around Chii and lifted her off the ground and brought her closer to him.

"I already told you, we're villagers from the land of waves travel..." sand close off her airway and she gasped for air.

"Do you think I'm some kind of idiot?"

"Gaara?" someone called and Chii saw a familiar blond from the Akatsuki jinchuuriki bingo book.

"Naruto, what are you doing here?" gaara asked looking at the blond.

"Just got here for a visit. Granny Tsunade gave Sakura and I time off so we decided to come visit you. Why are you strangling that girl on the roof of your house?"

"This girl has deceived me and I'm done with it," gaara growled and chii felt the sand tighten.

"Gaara let her go," naruto put a hand on the kazekage's shoulder and Chii fell to the roof coughing for air and heard footsteps approach her and hands rested on her shoulder. "Are you okay?"

Chii looked up and saw the blond, Naruto kneeling on one knee next to her. She let him help her up and she kept her head lowered as she wiped the blood off her chin. Once she was stable, she pushed Naruto away and walked inside to Samuru's room to tell him what happened. Meanwhile Gaara was being interrogated on the roof.

"What makes you think that girl was deceiving you? She was pretty..."

"I heard her talking up here on the roof. Who every she was talking to was saying for her to be careful around me and that they didn't want me to figure out their little play as they put it. Her whole innocent act was a fake. She's acting just like Sai used to be when he first came onto your team."

"I resent that," the artist whined as he appeared on the roof. His skin was tanned, he finally had gotten enough sun to erase the paleness of being in Root all his life.

"It's true, even her smile is fake. Do any of you know how to read the signs for deaf and mute people?"

"Sakura does, she had to learn since she started working at Konaha clinic," Naruto smiled.

"I do what?" Sakura appeared.

"Sign language."

"Oh, right, why, do you want to learn?"

"No, I have two suspicious people in my home at the moment and one is mute and deaf," Gaara muttered.

"So you want me to act like some assistant or something and actually spy for you? We came for a vacation, not another mission..."

"Please Sakura, the two that girl was talking to mentioned someone by the name of Pein. As the Kazekage, I ask your help."

"Oh my god, who knew that the ice-hearted self-loving idiot could do a puppy-dog face," Sakura giggled. "Okay I'll help, now can we go inside and get some sleep?"
