Hey everybody, aye bee bak. Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry times a thousand that it took so long for me to write this. Who would have figured that its easier for me to write while I'm not supposed to during school than when I have nothing to do in the summer? But, I guess I'm just weird that way :P. Ne way, here's the next chapter. I changed the story line a little from what I originally had so no Sasuke yet. On with the show!

Regular stuff

"Talking" (kind of obviously)

Chapter 4

Kiri shifted silently on the tree branch where her look out point was overlooking a clearing. It was Team 7's first official mission since she had joined and she would be danged if she was the one to lose their target.

"Kitty to team, is everyone ready? I am in position, but the target has not yet made its appearance." she whispered into her com link.

"Flower to team, I am in position. Target in sight. Ready for signal."

"Fox to team, I am totally ready for this. Oh yeah, and I can see the target too. Why are we still doing D class missions? Sakura's a chuunin and Kakashi's a jounin and I just spent two years training and we're still chasing after…."

"Bed Head to team, I am in position. Target has been sighted. Be ready for the signal. Fox, you haven't changed a bit." Kakashi interrupted Naruto and then paused.

"Bed Head to Team, we need to not let Kiri pick the code names."

The rest of Team 7 laughed quietly into their microphones.

"Flower to Bed Head, you're the only one who's complaining about the names. Wait, target is moving. Direction, due west, speed, walking. Everyone make sure to stay within sight of the target."

"Bed Head to team, be ready for the signal, Kitty, be ready to move when the target reaches the decided point."

"Flower copy, ready."

"Fox copy and ready.

"Kitty copy and ready."

"Bed Head to team, ready…… NOW!"

Kakashi, Sakura, Naruto all jumped at the target from different directions, scaring it and driving it towards the clearing where Kiri laid in wait. They gave chase until the target was right on the edge of the clearing before fanning out and stealthily slipping back into the bushes. The target sniffed the air, nose raised and then locked eyes on the pile of fish mysteriously located under the hanging branch of one of the trees. The target looked around suspiciously, before contentedly trotting over to the pile with a smug look.

Kiri tensed minutely on the branch over the pile of tasty treats. She slowly raised her hand out in front of her, over the pile. The target seemed unaware and began devouring the feast of fish presented to it. Kiri smiled and then quickly raised her hand and lifted the metal cage from where she and Naruto had buried it beneath the pile of bait, making sure to close the door as quickly as possible and latching it tight, successfully trapping the target.

"Kitty to team. Target captured. Repeat, target captured. Now everyone can breathe. Who wants to do a victory dance? I'm pretty sure this is a record. It only took us ten minutes and thirty-four seconds to catch that dang cat!"

Naruto exploded out from behind his bush and whooped, running over to the cage and lifting it above his head. Unfortunately for him, the fish had been trapped in the cage along with the cat and were small enough to fit through the bars and one landed with a soft squelch on his head.

"Eeeeeew, get it off!" Naruto exclaimed, shaking his head wildly and accidentally dropping the cage. Luckily, Sakura had been just behind him in leaving her cover and caught the cage before it and its now hissing and spitting occupant hit the ground.

"Naruto, be a little more careful! We were supposed to FIND Tora the cat, NOT give her brain damage." Sakura scolded while rolling her eyes. Some things never changed.

Kakashi calmly melted back into the clearing, eye smiling at his two former students' antics. Kiri followed, a lot less calmly and doing a victory dance which seemed to include some cartwheels, summersaults and ended with her flipping onto Tora's cage which Sakura had gently placed on the ground while watching her new teammate's display.

"WHOOOOO-HOOOO! OH YEAH! WE TOTALLY ROCK! NOW LETS BRING THIS SUCKER IN!!" Kiri quickly hopped off, swooped the cage and a very angry cat onto her shoulder, and ran full speed towards the Hokage Tower.

" COME ON SLOW-POKES, ITS STARTING TO GET DARK AND I HAVEN'T HAD DINNER YET!! LAST ONE AT THE TOWER IS A ROTTEN LIMA BEAN!!" She yelled behind her as she dashed into the trees.

"YOU ARE SO ON!!" Naruto yelled back before running to catch his teammate. Sakura and Kakashi both stared after them for a few seconds before turning to each other, rolling their eyes, and "hurrying" after their hyper teammates, the same thought running through their heads.

Well at least we'll never get bored.

~The Hokage Tower- around a few seconds later~

Tsunade was once again plodding through her paperwork, currently reading over a trade proposal from Suna to increase the amount of goods moving between the two villages. If she approved the increase, it would really help Konoha and Suna's economies, but the road that went from Konoha to the edge of the Land of Fire that was commonly used by the traders would need to be either repaired or expanded, probably both, to accommodate the increase in the number of caravans using it. Tsunade sighed, the council was being so troublesome she was starting to use Shikamaru's favorite phrase. Getting the funding for the road would be a hassle.

She stared out her window and then back at the three tall stacks of papers she still had to sort through, and then promptly hit her head on her desk in resignation. She was going to have to pull another all-nighter just to get today's paperwork done before tomorrow's came in. She sat up and looked carefully around her office. Shizune was nowhere in sight and her hand crept down towards the concealed drawer under her desk where she hid her sake. She was just about to turn the key in the lock when….

"YAY! I WIN! HEY TSUNADE, WE GOT HER!" Kiri burst through the door to Tsunade's office and the blond quickly pulled the key out of the lock and hid it in her pocket again with a sigh. The sake was going to have to wait.

"Akiri, is it at all possible for you to enter my office like a normal person?" Tsunade asked, staring up at the teenage girl who was standing on the ceiling, holding a metal cat carrier and a thoroughly terrified Tora the cat over her head, her hair hanging down around her face messily.

"Nope." Kiri replied with a smile. "Because I am not at all a normal person. Hey, what's the record for catching the fur ball? We had her in under eleven minutes!"

At this point Naruto burst into the office, right side up, out of breath and nearly banged his head on Tora's cage that was held right about at his eye level. He quickly bent backwards to avoid it, but leaned a little too far and fell backwards onto the floor with a thump.

Kiri and Tsunade stared at him lying on the floor and Naruto started to blush and nervously laughed, rubbing the back of his head.

Kakashi and Sakura walked in the door in a considerably slower pace and nearly stepped on Naruto lying on the floor. Kakashi simply stood with his foot hovering over Naruto's face before replacing it on the floor next to the blonds shoulder and quickly settling against the wall, looking like nothing had happened whatsoever. Sakura was not so lucky and, since she had slightly slower reflexes, tripped over the blonds other shoulder and landed face down on the floor next to him. Kakashi, Tsunade, and Kiri all sweat dropped and Sakura and Naruto both sat up quickly and stood on either side of Kiri who had remained on the ceiling.

"Soooo, " Kiri started, still a little unsure of how all that had happened. "Where do we drop off the package?"

Tsunade shook her head and decided to pretend that the incident hadn't happened.

"Kiri, please get off the ceiling, your face is turning red. You can leave the cat next to my desk and I'll have one of the other genin deliver her to her owner in the morning." Tsunade nodded towards the seat next to her desk.

Kiri quickly flipped off the ceiling and deposited the dizzy cat on the indicated seat.

After a brief mission report from Kakashi and a slightly longer berating from Tsunade about proper office entering protocol, Kiri and the others parted ways and headed home.

The night was warm, with a nice breeze blowing through the village, between the houses and shops along the street. It was only nine o'clock, so there was still some soft summer light left to see by. Kiri decided to walk home at a normal pace to enjoy the weather. Not every day felt so nice, and when winter came, she wanted to have as many happy memories of being warm as she could. Cold was not her thing. At all.

It had been a week since she had been assigned to Team 7 and since then she had finally moved into her own apartment, which meant that she had spent most of the week either training with Naruto, Kakashi, and Sakura to work on their team work, or running back and forth between the Hokage's estate on the outskirts of the village to her new apartment, carrying boxes and bags that frequently were piled so high she couldn't see. Plus, of course, her apartment was on nearly the opposite side of the village from Tsunade's estate, near the front gate and the main shopping area in the village. Her arms and legs were still aching. She must be more out of shape than she thought, staying incognito at Tsunade's had really taken its toll.

She resolved to train every day for the next forever and walked slowly, enjoying herself. There were a few stores open and a couple bars and clubs and bars were still blaring light and music out onto the street. She smiled.

Its good to be back. A year in the woods will really make you miss music.

She changed direction and headed into the nearest club, chosen for its swirling lights and heavy base. Inside was a mass of writhing, dancing people, some of whom were shinobi. She slowly made her way through the crowd to the middle of the pulsing mass and started to dance. She loved dancing, the base tearing though her body, and everyone dancing together, being themselves, and just letting go and letting the music move them. Her favorite song came on next and she grinned even wider.

She spent another hour dancing at the club. She was by herself, but enjoying it to the utmost. It felt good to let go. She hadn't recognized any of her fellow shinobi since most of them were younger. They had been children when she was a jounin. She chuckled at the thought. The song ended and she decided that she had best be going, there would be more missions and training tomorrow and she would need the sleep. If she stayed any longer, she probably wouldn't be able to pry herself away and stay until dawn. She sighed and made her way out of the crowd and away from the pulsing lights and bodies. She was just about to step outside when someone at the bar noticed her. She was instantly on guard as the woman walked up behind her.

"Who are you?" she asked warily stopping without turning to face her follower.

"Gee, ya go away for like forever and you forget who your best friends are." The woman replied cheekily.

Kiri spun around to face the woman and then grinned madly.

"ANKO-CHAN!!!!" she yelled over the music and tackled the purple haired snake jounin. Anko smirked and dodged Kiri's welcome by inches. Kiri's momentum kept her going for a couple feet before she spun, skidded and ran back to her best friend, this time catching her in the back and grabbing her, hoisting her up to carry her over her shoulder and carrying her off towards her house, both of them laughing ecstatically.

Kiri carried Anko the two blocks to her building before dumping her friend on her butt on the doormat. They finally stopped laughing and Anko stood up and hugged the Jinchuuriki girl. Kiri smiled back and hugged her back before poking her in the side. Anko squeaked and jumped back into the door.

"HEY!! I don't see my best friend for fifteen years, and then she pokes me! That is so not fair. It should be against the law!" she pouted as she stood away from the door and Kiri led her up the stairs to her third story apartment, unlocking the door and pushing her still pouting friend inside.

"Hey, I haven't seen you in fifteen years and you don't even let me tackle you properly!" Kiri whined, still smiling. She flipped the light switch and looked around her apartment. It had two rooms; her newly painted orange bedroom was through a door on the right and the front room, which she had left white and served as a living room and kitchen. She hadn't gotten a table yet and had been just eating from her couch. Furniture was expensive. Anko sighed and flopped down onto her couch, putting her feet on the armrest and her hands behind her head.

"I can't believe you're still taller than me. Why in the world did you get the height genes? Stop that, it makes me feel even shorter!" She shrieked as Kiri loomed over her lounging friend and stared down at her.

Kiri grinned and sat on the only other chair in the room.

"So what's up Mijikai?" Kiri asked, grinning.

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!! And I'm not telling you a thing unless you make me some of your dango right now! I went through dango withdrawal after you died and it took forever to get used to the horrible stuff everyone else makes. I demand to be re-addicted before I give you anything!" Anko admonished. Kiri chuckled and went to the kitchen, getting out the ingredients.

"If you want dango, you gotta work for it Mijikai. Start moving that mouth."

Kiri and Anko traded news and dango for another three hours until they were both practically asleep on their asses. Kiri yawned and walked the three thousand miles (approx. twenty feet when you measure it with a ruler) to her bed and collapsed, not even changing into her pajamas and just fell asleep. Anko was just as tired as her friend and had fallen asleep on the couch while Kiri was dragging herself to her bed.

Kiri smirked as she fell into darkness.

Anko snored.

BEEP!

BEEP!!

BEEP!!!

BEEP BEEP!!

BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP!!!!!

SMASH

Kiri groggily raised her head from her pillow and looked at the wall on her right. She'd smashed her alarm clock through it. Again.

I give up. I am not patching that wall again. God I need to stop killing my alarm clocks. If I don't, I'm gonna have to spend all my paychecks on those instead of food. I don't think I could live without ramen.

Her head thumped back down on to her pillow and she groaned. Mornings. Sucked. Bad.

She slowly rolled out of bed and stood up, heading for the bathroom with a change of clothes. She sleepily undressed and turned on the shower.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" she screamed as the water came down ice cold. She quickly snapped awake and bolted out of the stream of water and cranked the controls to the hottest setting they would go. She waited a minute before cautiously putting out a hand to check the temperature and was relieved to find it scalding hot.

That was nearly a very bad accident.

She sighed happily as she stepped back under the now boiling hot water and continued with her shower.

Five minutes later the bathroom was completely filled with steam as she stepped out of the shower, dried off, and pulled on her clothes. She quickly whipped out a hair drier and a brush and attacked her hair (which was hanging and dripping like a curtain in front of her face). She emerged from the bathroom completely awake and bounded towards the kitchen for her morning ramen and stopped cold halfway across the room. Someone was on her couch. She had stopped midstride on one foot and she quickly dropped into a fighting stance as she continued to stare at the bundle of blanket and purple hair on her couch.

Wait. Purple Hair.

She let out a long breath and finished her mad dash to the pantry. She got out four bowls of instant ramen ready (one for Anko) and set them in the sink. She didn't want to be holding their breakfast while she woke her guest. One, just waking Anko up was a hazardous job. She was just as much a morning person as Kiri was, but Kiri didn't have bloodthirsty tendencies. Two, she would need to move out of the way fast. Which would probably mean she'd spill the ramen all over, and that was just a sad waste of ramen.

She cautiously tiptoed over to the sleeping bundle and tried to discern where her head was. It was rather difficult since she seemed to have completely enveloped herself in the blanket, which was the same purple as her hair. She finally gave up and just braced herself before yanking the entire bundle onto the floor.

"MIJIKAI-CHAN!! IT'S TIME TO RISE AND SHINE!! DON'T KILL MEEEE!!!! I MADE BREAKFAST!!! ITS IN THE SIIINK!" She yelled as she ran into her bathroom. The bundle exploded into a mass of snarling Anko and several kunai followed Kiri through the bedroom thudded into the bathroom door she shut behind her. Kiri cautiously cracked the door open and peeked out.

Phew!!!

Anko had taken the peace offering of breakfast and was getting one of the bowls from the sink. Kiri cautiously opened the door the rest of the way and warily approached her friend who had taken her bowl to the couch and was slowly eating it. When Anko growled but made no move in her direction, Kiri decided that the situation was probably safe and retrieved the remaining ramen.

"Itadakimasu!" Kiri said cheerfully.

"Hn" Anko replied, still eating.

"Well good morning to you too, Anko-chan!" Kiri chirped.

"You are way too happy, and what's with the ramen for breakfast? Please tell me you've gotten over your ramen obsession."

"Sorry, no can do. That would be lying."

"-groan-"

"So, you have any missions today?"

"None, just patrolling. You?"

"Nothing as of yet, just training with Sakura, Naruto, and Bed Head."

"Bed Head? No wait, never mind. I know who."

"Yup. Hey, want to come along,? We could use the practice working as a complete team. Mostly we've been doing three on one and it gets kind of boring."

"Sure. Yall ready for this?"

Kiri laughed. She had just polished off her last bowl and Anko had finished hers so she gathered up the dishes and dumped them in the sink.

Then her door burst open and a panting jounin stood in her doorway.

"Gintora Akiri?" Kiri nodded in confirmation. "Phew, good. Hokage-sama needs you now. It's extremely urgent. The rest of your team is already on their way. I couldn't find you…" He fell over backwards as Kiri sped past him and down the hall, her chains flying from where she had dumped them on her bedroom floor last night to swing them selves into place around her torso.

"ANKO CAN YOU DO THE DISHES I GOTTA GO THERE'S LEFTOVER DANGO IN THE FRIDGE DON'T TOUCH MY RAMEN STASH!!!" She yelled back to her still sleepy friend while speeding into the stairwell.

Anko groaned at the dishes, but perked up when dango was mentioned and got it out of the fridge faster than you can say 'fish'. She had already consumed several by the time she ran back to the couch. The poor tired jounin who had delivered the news was still lying on his back in the doorway watching her eat. Anko looked at him and smiled. She got up, dango in hand, walked over to the gasping man, and nudged him out the door with her foot before slamming the door and saying in a rather scary voice, "My dango, you can't have any."

Kiri raced up the stairs of the Hokage tower and down the short hall to the Hokage's office. The ANBU guards at the door didn't even bother stopping her once they saw who it was. Or at least they saw the streak of electric blue and black and weren't fast enough to react as said blur flashed through the door. So they just pretended that they had meant to do that and continued guarding the door.

Kiri came to a screeching halt in front of Tsunade's desk, Naruto and Sakura on either side of her and Kakashi in his usual place leaning on the wall. They all jerked in surprise as she ran in but quickly pretended nothing had happened and Tsunade stood up behind her desk to address the newly formed Team Kakashi. It took about that long for Akiri to notice that there was another person in the room. She was a little bit shorter than Kiri and had four spiky, blond ponytails and a giant fan that she was leaning on. She looked anxious and was frowning impatiently.

Who in the world is that, and what is she doing here? She's from Suna judging by her headband. I heard we have an alliance with them since Orochimaru made that attack during the chuunin exams, but are we really this friendly with them? The others seem to know her and they aren't being guarded at all. I am sooooo confused. Oh well, their friend equals mine.

Kiri walked over to the Suna nin and stuck out her hand.

" Gintora Akiri, nice to meet you." She said smiling. "Now who in the world are you? Tsunade, you're really slow on introductions."

The girl looked at her kind of funny before laughing and taking her hand.

"Subaku no Temari of Suna. I've been sent with an urgent request for assistance from my village. Could you hurry up Tsunade, Akiri-san is right, you're being slow."

Tsunade watched the slightly strange conversation and huffed. She was not being slow! They hadn't even given her a chance to breathe for kami's sake!

"Fine, Suna has requested aid from Konoha's medical force and also has requested a retrieval team. Apparently two Akatsuki members have kidnapped Kazekage-sama and his brother Kankuro has been severely poisoned. I'm sending your team Kakashi, because Sakura will be able to assist the medics working on Kankuro and the rest of you will be able to help rescue the Kazekage. If Naruto got wind of it we wouldn't be able to keep him here if we tied him to a metal pole and Kiri, Gaara-sama is also a Jinchuuriki so it would probably be best to send you as an expert slash fellow container. Temari-san will brief you on the details as you travel. You leave in ten minutes. Get packing and meet at the front gate ready to skedaddle."

Naruto looked like he wanted to murder somebody when Tsunade told them about the Kazekage and Sakura looked worried. Kiri actually looked serious for the first time since they had met her and nodded when Tsunade finished. This would be a welcome change from catching runaway cats.

All of them sped home to pack as fast as they could (minus Kakashi who just poofed to his house to pick up his pack and then took his usual time at the memorial stone). Luckily Kiri had been packed already in anticipation of some emergency or another. When she got back to her apartment Anko had already left, having finished all the dango in the fridge. She quickly gathered her pack and jammed a few extra scrolls into the pockets and clipped her metal bracers on. She wasn't sure what exactly the Akatsuki was, but if they could kidnap a kage, they would definitely be a force to be reckoned with. She would need all the metal she could bring. She quickly brushed her teeth and sped back out the door.

Sakura was almost as prepared and only had to stuff some clean laundry into her pack before running out the door, a look of determination on her face.

Naruto was lucky he had just got back and he still had most of his stuff packed. He dumped the contents of a box into his pack and grabbed up his spare kunai and stuffed them into his weapons pouch. He was going to get his friend back safely, no matter what.

They all were at the gate within five minutes and had to wait another five while Kakashi "got lost on the road of life". Temari was visibly anxious to get going and as soon as Kakashi arrived they departed at a swift jog.

"Temari-san, guys, could someone explain what's going on? I feel like I'm missing something big. Who are the Akatsuki? And what do they want with the Kazekage?" Kiri asked, a little confused.

"The Akatsuki are an organization of seven or eight S-ranked missing nin from various different villages. Their goals are unknown besides the capture of all of the Jinchuuriki. They all wear black cloaks with red clouds on them. All are extremely dangerous. Since Gaara-sama is the Jinchuuriki of the one tailed raccoon, Shukaku, he is a target of the organization. Naruto has also been targeted before, though they were unsuccessful in capturing him. It is possible that you will be targeted if they find out about you housing Kurobi, the twelve tailed tiger. It would be best if you were extremely cautious about who you tell about Kurobi." Kakashi explained in a quiet voice. Kiri smoldered over the news that someone was targeting Jinchuuriki. She felt a bond with her fellow demon containers, they were all black fish in a sea of millions of goldfish, if they didn't stick together and help each other, they'd be awful lonesome and would probably go psycho from being ostracized. People willing to help Jinchuuriki were few and far between, Konoha seemed to be a goldmine of such people, but elsewhere they had few allies.

Kiri and Naruto gritted their teeth in anger, though Naruto more so than Kiri. He actually looked like he was about to explode and his eyes were starting to turn red as he ran. Kiri noticed and hurried up to the front where Naruto and Temari were leading and put her arm on the blond boy's shoulder.

"Naruto, we will get Gaara-sama back. No matter what. I give my word as a shinobi," she vowed. Naruto looked at her face, which was as serious as when they had left Tsunade's office. She was sincere in her vow and her eyes betrayed her rage that was boiling under a mask of determination. He nodded and his eyes slowly faded back to blue. He had only met Kiri a week ago, but he knew that she would never break a promise. She was infinitely loyal to her friends and had expressed that that loyalty extended to all Jinchuuriki. She would help them rescue Gaara and would fight his kidnappers until she collapsed and beyond. His rage and determination were undiminished, but her promise had helped him to regain control over himself. He nodded his thanks, which she returned before dropping back to her position with Kakashi as rear guard.

Temari and the rest of the team had watched the silent message pass between the two demon containers and brightened a little. If there were any way possible to rescue the Kazekage, Konoha's most unpredictable ninja and its resurrected Steel Terror would find it.

"I'll begin briefing you on the situation." Temari deadpanned to the ninja following her. "My brother, Gaara was kidnapped by, as yet, two unidentified members of the Akatsuki. One attacked the village to draw him out while the other appears to have stayed behind waiting. The one who attacked the village had long blond hair and used bombs made from molded clay. He appeared to have mouths on his hands and used them to mold the clay and imbue it with his chakra, which allowed it to explode on command. He also arrived on a large clay bird. Gaara fought said member and managed to remove one of his arms, but was knocked unconscious while directing large amounts of sand to intercept a large bomb that would have destroyed the village. The blond Akatsuki had his bird catch him and he left with Gaara's body in its mouth. My brother Kankuro gave chase alone and managed to track them all the way back to the other Akatsuki member. The blond one escaped when his partner engaged Kankuro. The second member was not identifiable either beyond the fact that he has dark brown hair in braids and a large metal scorpion tail. He and my brother fought. Kankuro was able to give us a basic description of him and his fighting style before he passed out. He was a puppet master without a doubt and somehow knew the workings of all of Kankuro's puppets. All of the weapons he used were coated with an unidentified poison. My brother was hit once and passed out shortly after due to the poison's effects. We have had our top medic, Chiyo-baa-sama, working on him, but we don't have the medical knowledge to help him. He has been unconscious for almost two days now and when I left yesterday he had started to hallucinate. It is our hope that Sakura-san can help my brother and then she and the rest of you can assist with retrieval. We would go after Gaara ourselves, but we need every shinobi we have to defend our village in case they return."

As Temari briefed them, a single tear rolled down her face and was blown away by the wind as they ran. Her face remained determinedly stoic, but Team Kakashi understood her inner turmoil. She was suppressing her worry for her brothers and channeling it to keep herself going. If she had run all the way from Suna to Konoha in a day, she ought to be exhausted. To be making the same trip today… It usually took at least a day and a half to travel between the two villages.

"Come on everyone, we can pick up the pace a little. I've got a blond Akatsuki Barbie to chop into little pieces." Kiri said cheerfully. Everyone grinned; even Temari managed a smile at her completely irrepressible optimism. The girl could probably talk about dying from a painful, gruesome disease and still sound happy about it. They all caught Akiri's adrenaline wave and pushed on at a full out run.

Yay! Chapter 4's complete! It actually only took me two days too :) Oh yeah, and I realized after writing the last paragraph that I had been spelling Akatsuki wrong the entire chapter. That was fun to fix :P If I missed any please tell me so I can fix it.

Oh wonderfull, plus I forgot to do disclaimers. Crap. Ok, instant solution.

I, Amira, do not own any part of Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Itachi etc. ever. They all belong to Mr. Kishimoto. (who is a certifiable genius) The only person I own is Akiri and I don't mind if other people borrow her, it would actually be kind of fun.

Mijikai - short

Please review and tell me what you think!! (Insert puppy dog face)I think I'm just gonna leave it at that so I'll see you later (hopefully soon, probably before school starts but I'm not sure, Volleyball starts tomorrow and it usually kills the first two weeks)
