Author's Note: Time for a super short chapter. If you could, let me know if you prefer the shorter or the longer chapters.

Summary: Orochimaru is bored so he decides it is time to relocate to another lair.

Time check: Sometime during the first 4 to 8 months.


Chapter 6: Thanks (for nothing)

Orochimaru walked boldly into the dining area where Sasuke and Kabuto were sitting.

"I have an announcement to make."

Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"Now what?"

"I have decided that today we will be moving to the other Lair we have in this area."

"Other Lair, my Lord?" Kabuto questioned

"You know that Lair. The super secret one."

"Oh that Lair. How could I ever have forgotten that Lair. I will make the necessary preparations at once."

"We're seriously moving again? This makes the third time in four weeks." Sasuke huffed.

"Don't worry this will be the last time for a while now."

'Sure it will', Sasuke thought bitterly.

"I bet it's just another useless hole in the ground". Sasuke whined.

"You'll see when we get there. We'll leave in an hour."

After about a day of constant running the group of three ninjas reached what looked like a tremendous hole in the ground.

"I can't believe it. It IS a hole in the ground!" Sasuke stammered.

Kabuto turned to Sasuke and smiled.

"It's not a hole in the ground. It's a crater."

"And not just any crater," Orochimaru added, "But a crater with a secret hidden tunnel at the bottom connecting it to yet another crater."

"Welcome to your new home Sasuke-kun!" both Orochimaru and Kabuto said together.

"Thanks" Sasuke grumbled sarcastically.

"I think I've changed my mind. Can we move again?"

"Sorry Sasuke-kun but we'll be here for at least a week. Just make yourself as comfortable as possible."

'Damn that Orochimaru. Only a snake could make himself comfortable in a tunnel inside a crater.'
Sasuke promptly decided to start a countdown of days until the supposed week when the group would be moving again. And by group I mean the three of them, alone, in a small cramped space. Unfortunately for Sasuke a week turned into two weeks and multiple uncomfortable situations.


Author's Note: I am having trouble coming up with ideas for future chapters so if you would like to see this story continue please suggest some topics you would like to see used.
