-One Week Later-

Suna was finally dry from Chii's ice and villagers started to come out, wary of being out in the open if another attack happened. Samuru talked to the Sand Sibligs every day, telling them about Chii so they'd be able to protect her and try to keep her in the village easier. While that happened, Chii remained unconscious in a room within the hidden safe tunnels; six containment ANBU specialists were with her at a time, keeping the spells active in case she woke up pissed again.

The village was in a rage at the Kazekage, allowing the Abare girl to return and blamed him for all the damage to the village. Houses had been destroyed under the weight of the ice and not being built to withstand such amount of moisture. Now Gaara had an escort where everywhere he went while Samuru hid within the hidden tunnels near Chii.

"W...when do you think she...she'll finally wake up?" Hinata asked. Samuru turned to her as she entered the room that Chii was being contained, carrying a tray of food like she did everyday for Samuru since she came. Tsunade had sent her team for extra protection for Gaara and Hinata was sent to help look after Chii since she could see Chii's erratic chakra flow easier than Neji. "I've heard some villages muttering that the Akatsuki might come back for her power after that attack of hers."

"She should wake up soon. She had exhausted almost all her chakra with that attack and as you could see she couldn't even hold it for long. It is possible that the Akatsuki might come if they get word of Chii's full capability. I know one of them is watching, but he said he wouldn't give away our position as long as he wasted information but I haven't told him anything besides gardening work I've done. He thinks that there really is nothing important that's happening soon," Samuru replied as he started eating.

"T...the one th-that looked like a Venus fly-trap?" Hinata whispered so the ANBU wouldn't get distracted.

"Yes," Samuru smirked slightly.

Hinata saw the small smirk on his face when she mentioned the two-toned Akatsuki member and smiled, glad that she could get some emotion out of him. She looked to the other side of the room where ropes where tied around Chii and staked to the ground. Each ANBU sat at a rope, their hands on the stake and running their chakra through the rope and into Chii to freeze all movement of her body. Not long after she had arrived, six other ANBU entered their room and activated their jutsu and switched the others so they could get their rest before taking their next shift of active chakra.

"Y...you think six is enough," Hinata stammered as she looked at the girl her own age, but had seen so much more cruelties of life because of her upbringing.

"If it's not, then we're screwed if she breaks confinement. Six different chakra flows into one body to halt movement is the max a body can handle. For example, if we added one more ANBU to this containment seal, Chii's chakra would turn on her and destroy her body in seconds. If she fights and breaks it, the only going we can do is run and hope she doesn't hurt anyone."

"That's not comforting," a young girl with brown hair snapped as she entered the room.

"Who are you?" Samuru demanded.

"I'm Matsuri," she replied. "Lord Gaara told me to come down here and watch your sister while your on the surface. He needs to talk to you immediately."

"Very well," Samuru spoke as he finished his food and stood up. "Hinata fill her in on immediate actions to take if she wakes, violently or otherwise."

"Al...alright..." Hinata blushed as he left.

"Why don't you tell him you like him already?" Matsuri spoke as she came over and leaned against the wall next to the blushing Hyuuga.

"He... He has too much to worry about... Besides I have someone else I like..." Hinata muttered pressing her fig era together.

"Whatever you like him a lot as well. Now what was he talking about if she wakes up, violent or otherwise?"

"R...right..."

Samuru hurried out of the hidden tunnels and opened the hidden door that led straight to the Kazekage council room. The entrance was behind the four stone Kazekage statues. He was met by the Sand Siblings, Team Kurenai and several sand shinobi; all of them looked grim.

"What is it?" Samuru demanded.

"Akatsuki have been spotted coming towards Suna," Gaara replied. "A blonde on a white bird, one with a giant scythe, one that is blue and looks like a fish, and one that we saw with the scythe member the day we took you from their hideout."

"Deidara, Hidan, Kisame, and Kakuzu," Samuru muttered, annoyed. "This isn't good. Deidara is good with his aerial attacks as the village already knows from three years ago. Hidan is good a long and short range attacks with his scythe, Kakuzu can use all the elements with ease and has five or six hearts, and Kisame used to be one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and strongest shinobi of kirigakure. They must have felt Chii's power explode and are coming for her."

"This is impossible," Kiba muttered.

"It would be if you didn't have me," Samuru spoke calmly. "I have studied them when Chii and I were hidden in the hideout. I know a lot about them."

"Alright, tell us how to beat them," Gaara ordered as everyone sat down at the council table.

"They are nearing the gates," Baki spoke as he came into the room. "Everyone is in place and the villagers have been moved to rooms under Chii."

"Good, how is Chii doing?" Temari asked.

"She still is unconscious when I walked past the room."

"Everyone move to their groups around the village and wait for my signal," Gaara ordered as he stood.

"Yes Lord Gaara." Everyone stood and left the room except Gaara and Samuru.

"Do you think she'll wake up soon?" Gaara asked as he walked towards the door.

"Yes, her chakra is almost back to normal levels," Samuru replied monotoned as he stood as well. "Lord Gaara do you care for my sister?"

"I do not know what feelings I hold for the girl, but I highly doubt anything would come from it," Gaara spoke before leaving, missing the small smile from Samuru.
