Author's note: -cries- IM SO SORRY! Everything has been a burden for me first I couldn't use wonderful Open Office and I was like oh yeah! It's gonna be on time for sure but yeah I'm sorry -face palm- ANYWAYS round of applause for the peeps that read this far! WOOT! anyways...-cough- uhmmm...I guess i should start of saying that this is my chappy today!!!!!! Yay!

A random fact: Hmmm...Kailey(ha, that's me!) went out for Halloween^^ on Saturday as a cat with the usage of the exact same kitty hat in this fic. Kailey also went out with her siblings...her brother was a pirate that just happened to look like Hitler and her sister was a zombie bride. (Wow its fun talking in 3rd person)

Kailey

Of course I followed Sasuke after that remark, why wouldn't I? His voice was so dark and cold (not to mention extremely attractive. Can't let Sammi catch me saying that though) that I knew if I had said no, I'd be with Haku and Zabuza in my near future. As soon as I stood up, I saw I was in the the somewhat-lit halls of Sasuke's 'evil lair', Sasuke looked at me, and I got nervous as his eyes traveled up and down my body. It felt as though he looked at every inch I had grown in the last few years.

"What are you wearing?" he said, not as a question but a statement. Without even thinking up what I was going to say I replied with a smart ass remark.

"Clothes..." He gave me a look that shot killing intent right at me.

"Hmph. I can see right through your act, dobe, and if I want to kill you I will." he said darkly as he reached for his sword.

"But Sasuke! Everyone knows you never kill anybody!" I thought with a smirk on my face.

"And get that animal off your head, it's repulsive and it shows weakness." he added as I glared.

"Oh he did not just disrespect the kitty hat!"

The walk was silent after that, and I was pretty sure that Sasuke was going to assemble his 'team' today. Sasuke's eyes would flicker to me every hour or so, probably because he thought I was going to make a run for it. I wanted to think up an actual conversation to start with him so he would actually listen to me for a change. Then the stupidest thing came to mind.

"You end up killing Itachi." I said breaking the silence, my head still looking straight forward. Out of the corner of my eye I saw him tense up. He glared in my direction and reached out for something. He stopped in his tracks. I slowly stopped and looked towards him, he walked over to where I was and then he whacked me on my head with the handle of his sword. I gripped my head in pain.

"How do you know about Itachi?!" he answered cooly, but I could tell he was angry.

"Word gets out pretty fast." I shrugged showing no weakness what so ever.

"...And of course I will. Obviously." He said as he started to walk again. My jaw dropped. "Wow I'm stupid. Sasuke is Sasuke, he probably will never believe me in the first place." I thought as I ran to catch up to him.

"That is probably the most disgusting thing ever!" I thought as I shielded my eyes as Suigetsu did his whole 'naked routine.'

"Who's this? Following you around, how cute." he said pointing towards me in a disgusted manner. I glared.

"And is that a hat? With ears?" Suigetsu said holding in laughter. I tensed up.

"Why is everyone hating on the kitty hat!" I whined.

" And I'm Kailey. Hey I'm on your side! Karin is a total bitch..." I mumbled as I kicked around me. Suigetsu smirked

"Nice to be working with you." I laughed, but then looked toward Sasuke, who was glaring at me, and immediately stopped.

"God he scares me." I thought as I followed behind Suigetsu out of the somewhat crowded room.

It was weird, the whole conversation on the way to get Karin was completely and utterly different then it was in the manga.

"I must've changed it just by coming here." I thought as I walked along.

"To me, Karin is famous for her obsession over Mr. Uchiha over there." I whispered to Suigetsu as quietly as possible. Suigetsu smirked.

"How do you know Karin anyway?" He asked with an accusing tone.

"How did I know Karin?" I thought as I walked along side Suigetsu.

"Well you honestly won't believe me so I'm not going to try explaining right now." I said as convincing as possible so that Suigetsu wouldn't ask anymore questions.

"Whatever." He said looking at me and walking along as if he didn't care about my answer. I frowned and sped walked to catch up with him.

I stopped in my tracks as we reached the body of water. Suigetsu and Sasuke walked on it no problem. But hey! I'm not a ninja with special powers! A normal human being can't walk across water. Unless you are Jesus' second cousin removed of some sort. They sped up their pace and I just stood there, weak and totally not useful. I didn't say anything at all, I didn't scream their names or whine.

"If I don't like Sakura I can NOT act like her at all." I thought as I stood there helpless.

"What are you doing! Hurry up!" Suigetsu yelled from a few meters away.

"I can't walk on water!" I called back. I heard bits and pieces of an argument between him and Sasuke until eventually Suigetsu turned back and ran over to me.

"Well you could've said so when, I don't know, was near you?" he said as he scooped me up over his shoulder and ran as quickly as possible to Sasuke's whereabouts.

"OK everybody Edward Cullen may not be real but Suigetsu sure is and he ran pretty frigging fast!" I thought with a smirk.

Suigetsu made no attempt to be gentle I was flopping all over the place! And he almost dropped me, TWICE!

"Can I ask you a question?" Suigetsu said as he walked alongside Sasuke. Finally! The conversation started up again!

"What?" Sasuke retorted, ice old as usual.

"Why are you gathering teammates?" Suigetsu asked curiously as I listened in as well.

"I have a goal. There's a better chance to achieve that goal as a small team." Sasuke answered back.

"He means killing his brother! But he's actually good so killing him was pretty sad!" I thought with a frown.

"But why me?" Suigetsu wondered aloud.

"From the time I got close to Orochimaru, I thought about this possibility and chose a powerful shinobi." I giggled unnoticeably.

"But then I think there's no reason to choose Karin. She, unlike me, is Orochimaru's subordinate." Suigetsu said nudging me to back him up. I said nothing thought, honestly I didn't want to get involved. So he just continued on.

"She's messed with my body before... and first off, I can't stand her attitude." He said with a funny grin.

"I second that!" I yelled.

"So much for not getting involved" I thought disapprovingly.

"It's true that there's a lot of other shinobi that would be easier to handle. But she has a special power that no one else has." Sasuke said

"Well...I have to admit that's true." Suigetsu replied.

"Oh come on! A dog has the same sense! Just get a dog!" I said, kind of pissed about Karin. Suigetsu smirked.

We walked through the halls with the jail cells at our side. I heard a few yells as Sasuke passed them.

"So it really is you guys. And who are you?" Karin said with a hand on her hip. I smiled. Everyone was waiting for my remark.

"What?!" I demanded. Suigetsu's eyes narrowed and Sasuke just looked past it.

"Nice to meet you Karin!" I said with a smirk on my face, knowing that behind me Suigetsu's jaw would be wide open. Who knew what Sasuke's expression would be like. But I didn't dare look because, well...it's Sasuke. Karin looked at me disgusted before replying.

"Wow, all cats must adore you." she said with a fake smile and obvious sarcasm in her voice. I chuckled.

"So true, at least something alive likes me." I smiled with the same obvious sarcasm. Nobody said anything and Karin just glared and looked past it.

"Do we need a paramedic? Because you just got-" I stopped in mid-sentence as Sasuke interrupted me with a, "Kailey..." in his smooth calm voice. I grunted under my breath so that Sasuke wouldn't hear.

Ok this was short but I want to start the next chapter for Sammi and I figured for it to be on time I have to finish this chapter first..PSHH! Who am I kidding that will never happenXD
