There is a new schedule for updates, so please check my profile for more information.

Yuti-chan: I know that Sasuke was oddly kind in the last chapter but I've examined his entire thought process and decided that would be what he would at that point in time.

"Sasuke, I want a new clothes!" Kumiko pestered the poor Uchiha.

"Why?" Sasuke replied plainly.

"'Cause I only have one dress..." Kumiko pouted, a surefire way to get what she wanted.

"Fine," Sasuke sighed, "I'll send Kabuto in-"

"No!" Kumiko interrupted, "He'll pick something ugly! I want a pretty robe."

"Don't be so spoiled, you can't always get what you want." Sasuke scolded.

"Please Sasuke." Kumiko tugged on his sleeve and looked up at him with the best puppy dog eyes she could muster.

"You win. But we're leaving now." Sasuke conceded with stern glance back at Kumiko.

"Yay! Let's goooooooooooo!" Kumiko beamed, skipping after Sasuke.

Later, in the middle of town...

Murmurs and gasps followed in Kumiko's stead as Sasuke and her walked about the village. For a few moments Kumiko was confused, she looked at the villagers but they veered away from her gaze.

Kumiko tugged at Sasuke's sleeve. "Um, Sasuke...

"What?" Sasuke replied irritably.

"People are staring, Sasuke." she stated

Damn... Sasuke thought, his mind racing, She's still wearing the Akatsuki robe!

With a quick glance around, he shoved Kumiko into an empty stand and stepped in himself.

"What was that for!" Kumiko squealed.

"Sh!" Sasuke hissed, covering her mouth.

Kumiko looked angry for a couple of seconds before a devious glint appeared in her eyes. Sasuke didn't notice, he was peeking outside the tent. His serious expression didn't remain for long though. He took a sharp inhale and his eyes went wide; he retracted his hand.

"Kumiko!" he accused, staring down at his slobber soaked hand.

"Sorry Sasuke! You left me no choice." she explained, extending her tongue.

"Why, you-" Sasuke started, "Just listen, okay? If we don't stay quiet the villagers might find us."

"Why don't we want the villagers to find us?" Kumiko tilted her head in a wondering manner, completely oblivious.

"They'll call the leaf!" Sasuke shook her.

"Huh? Why would they do that?" she asked, staring at him blankly.

"Because we're the bad guys!" Sasuke screamed in her face.

Kumiko covered her ears, glaring at him.

"Speak for yourself..." she muttered under her breath.

Sasuke inhaled ready to yell again before he noticed the villagers that had gathered around them.

"Uh oh." Kumiko said, suddenly sensing the eminent danger.

And I'm gonna leave you at a cliffhanger for now, looks like you'll have to wait a little while more for another chapter, I apologize. Remember to leave your wonderful (or maybe not so wonderful) reviews!
