Alright, guys, excited? Happy? I know I am. I apologize for the really late update, but I have had School, Play rehearsals, and of course emotional and mental constipation. A.k.a= Writer's Block. So, enjoy.
Disclaimer, I don't own Naruto.

3rd person P.O.V.

Sasuke waited patiently in the dark room, watching the window. Finally, the figure swooped in to the room. "Thanks for meeting me." The person said. "You're late." He said, glaring at the person with his Sharingan activated. The person sneered at him, sharp teeth glinting in the dark. "Don't take that tone with me, boy." She snapped. "For your information, I was being followed. Wouldn't want any of you new 'friends' sneaking in ton this conversation, now would we?" The woman snapped. "Their not my friends, I just happen to work with them." He said. The woman sighed. "What fucking ever, lets just get this meeting done and over with. It took me three damn weeks to find you and I am fucking tired of running around. I want to deliver my news and get back home in time for my nephew to be born, okay?" She growled. "Fine, deliver your news and be on your way." Sasuke said.

"Bitch." The woman scoffed under her breath. "I'm gonna be blunt and tell you this whole damn story quickly and bluntly. No riddles, no mysteries, just the pure unbridled truth. "Get to the point, Vampire." Sasuke snapped. "I am not." She muttered. "Anyways. So here's the story, but get comfy because even in a nutshell it's pretty damn long." She said, sitting down on the floor by his feet. "You're stalling on purpose." Sasuke said. The woman, Vampire, leapt to her feet. "Do you want to here this or not? Then stay quiet, man whore." She said. She sat back down and began to tell Sasuke the story.

Elsewhere…

(A/N: I know, you hate me, suck it up, buttercup.) Itachi glared down at the paper for the thirteenth time that she left. "This is ridiculous." He grumbled as Ren started to whimper. "Oh, quit your bitching, Itachi. She's been gone for three weeks." Kira grumbled as she changed Crysta's diaper. Itachi picked up Ren and began to change his diaper. "I just don't understand how she could just disappear like the wind." He said. "Well, it's actually like a tree. Ana is Earth goddess. Amanda is Wind." Kira said. "Yes, I know. And Miranda is water, and you are spirit and Nyisha is fire." He said. "Don't forget Brianna is Darkness and Shay is Light." Kira said. "Hn." He grunted.

"I can't believe everyone has a goddess power already. I'm a little scared of what Tabetha might be the goddess over." Itachi said. "If we're lucky, she won't." Kira said. "But Ana did say eight goddesses." Itachi said. "Yeah, I know." Kira said. She picked up Crysta and looked her in the eyes. "What about you? Are you gonna be a badass goddess instead of meanie-weanie Tabby?" Kira asked. Crysta giggled and smacked Kira on the head twice as if to say "Silly auntie! I'm just a baby!" Kira blew on her face, making her giggle wildly as her aunt's breath tickled her face.

"Itachi, all we can really do is hope she knows what she's doing and gets her ass back here safely. I have faith in my sister, if she runs off in the middle of the night, leaving a very small note as a poor explanation, she probably has a very good explanation for it. If that makes any sense at all." Kira said. "Not in the slightest." He said as he put Ren down on the floor for him to attempt to crawl. Ren just laid on the blanket on his tummy, kicking his feet, waving his arms and making baby noises. Itachi sighed and sat in the rocking chair in the corner. Kira set Crysta next to her brother and let them communicate through baby talk before sitting on the ground by them. "Now, don't plot our deaths, okay?" Kira said, tickling both babies.

Kira looked over at Itachi as he stared out the window. She scooted over to him and grabbed his arm. "Itachi." She said. He looked over at her. She read the worry in his eyes. "She'll be okay. She knows what she's doing." Kira said. The sudden burning of her tongue (A/N: Twin thing) told her that somewhere, Ana just yelled "I have no idea what I'm doing!" while running away. Itachi nodded and watched as Ren rolled over on his back, Crysta following his example then immediately putting her foot in her mouth. Literally. "Ewwwww." Kira said, taking the babies toes out of her mouth and tickling her tummy. "Gwah!" Crysta giggled, causing Ren to laugh as if he was being tickled, too.

Meanwhile…

Fukuromaru had been flying for the entire morning and in to midday. She fluttered down to the trees to rest her aching wings. "Ugh, typical Ana. Waiting last second to launch a brilliant scheme that will more or less succeed although it seems to be doomed for failure. I see why Ayu-chan's soul went to her." The owl said, preening her feathers. She could nearly hear Ana say "Stop complaining, you need the exercise, lazy owl." Fukuromaru sighed, then yawned. "Damn reincarnation jutsus, I could be sleeping right now. Oh, well. At least she's nice." Fukuromaru took off once again, heading to Konoha to see an old face. Hopefully she would recognize him. People change in nine years. The young face she last saw would be older now. "Oy, these kids will kill me yet." Fukuromaru said as she fluttered off.

A little later…

"Well?" Vampire asked, staring at Sasuke, who was still processing everything. There was a loud thump at the door. "SASUKEEEEEE! LET ME IN!" A certain red head screamed. "Damn it." Sasuke growled. "Oh, Jashin, is that Karin?" Vampire asked. "Yeah, the bitch is in heat again. GO AWAY KARIN!" Sasuke yelled as Vampire laughed silently. "Ha, it's funny because she's a dog." Vampire snickered. "I should have brought Sakura with me." He grumbled. "Oh? Is Sasuke-chan in loooove?" Vampire mocked. "Like you've never been in love before." He muttered lowly under his breath, hoping she didn't hear him. She did, but she chose not to let him know about that. "I know it's hard to take. But that entire story I just told you is true." She said. "Do you doubt me?" She asked, staring at him expectantly. Sasuke stared at the wall, thinking for a moment. She watched him with the same expression she had worn through the entire story.

"If everything you have told me so far is true, why should I doubt you now?" He asked. She stared at him. "I believe you, Ana." He said. His sister in law sighed, feeling relived. "Look, Sasuke, even though we don't like each other, we're equals from now on, okay? You're smart and you're strong. Still a little stupid for not going back to Konoha and leaving Karin to die, but you're still smart." She said. "Thanks, same to you." Sasuke said. Ana didn't know if he was being sincere or sarcastic. Sasuke began to stand. "Guess I should break Karin's heart and tell her she's my cousin." He said, feeling a small bubble of excitement rise in him. "No!" Ana said. "Why?" He asked, the excitement bubble popping. "I should do it. She doesn't know Ayu died, so she'll think I'm Ayu and will actually believe me." Ana said. "Plus, this is kinda something I've always wanted to do." She said. Sasuke wanted to laugh.

"Alright, fine. You can tell her when we meet again if she doesn't make me want to kill her by then." Sasuke said. "Ya-ta!" Ana cheered, jumping and air punching. Sasuke smirked. "Maybe I should give my new sister a chance. She is like Naruto. I guess she isn't all that bad." He thought. She began to climb out the window. "See you in a few weeks, Sasuke. Try not to kill Karin or your self. It would mean a lot to Itachi to have his brother back." She said and leapt out the window. "…Yeah. It would be nice." He said. He sighed and opened the door.

"SASUKE-KUN!" Karin squealed and leapt at him. He stepped to the side and let her fall. "Sasuke-kun, why didn't you catch me?" She asked, starting to cry. "Whore!" Suigetsu coughed. Karin glared. "Shut up or I'll kill you." Sasuke said. Karin backed down. "So who were you talking to in there?" Juugo asked. "An informant." Sasuke said and walked away. Juugo decided to let it go. Suigetsu, however, did not buy it. "Ooh, were you getting a job from your girlfriend?" He asked. Sasuke ignored him "I knew it! Is she as big of a whore as Karin?!" He laughed. Karin yelled at him but something in Sasuke snapped. His hand shot out and grabbed Suigetsu by the throat. "Gyuh!" He grunted. Sasuke turned his head and glowered at Suigetsu. He felt Suigetsu swallow in fear. "Sasuke-kun, it didn't offend me that much." Karin said. But Sasuke wasn't listening.

"Don't you ever call my Sakura-chan as much of a whore as Karin ever again, or I swear I will kill you." He said. He dropped Suigetsu on his ass and continued on his way. "Huh, so Sasuke really doesn't have feelings for you. At all." Juugo said absent mindedly. "Hey, shut up!" Suigetsu said. "Huh?" Karin said, surprised the Suigetsu of all people would stand up for her.

"Sasuke wasn't kidding when he said not to talk down about this Sakura chick." He said. "Huh? What do you mean?" Karin asked. "You know that cold look Sasuke usually has?" He asked. "Yeah." Karin responded. "The look in his eyes just now, he was serious about this Sakura chick. I may not be the most intelligent and have the least experience with love, but he is definitely in love with her." Suigetsu said. Karin felt her heart crack. "There's still a chance. Suigetsu even said that he didn't know anything about love." Karin thought, but it felt like her heart didn't buy it. "I'm not giving up! Sasuke-kun will be mine!" She thought. In all honesty, the authoresses are trying not to set their faces on fire at this point of the chapter.

In Konoha…

Naruto was in the midst of packing up. Sasuke's been sighted and he was determined not to let his best friend get away this time. "Sasuke, you're not getting away this time. I'll bring you back. And this time I have help." He thought as he slipped his last items in and went to meet with everyone else. He stopped by Hyuga Manor to pick up Hinata who was in the process of handing off baby Minato to Neji for babysitting duty. You read that right. The great ego maniac Neji Hyuga was put on babysitting duty. You may now laugh. Okay. Moving on.

"M-make sure h-he's fed and p-put t-to bed o-on time. All of his naps a-and don't l-let h-him s-stay in a d-dirty diaper t-too long. M-make sure t-to use b-baby p-powder o-on h-his bottom a-after each c-change." Hinata said. "Hinata, I know. Don't worry, I'll take care of him." Neji told his cousin. "P-promise?" She asked. "On my life." Neji said. "Th-thank you." She said. "M-mommy will be back s-soon, l-little one. B-be good f-for Uncle Neji." She said and kissed the baby's forehead, then joined Naruto. "D-Don't forget t-to bathe h-him!" Hinata called back. "Don't worry, Hinata. Neji will do fine. It's not like you're leaving him to Lee." Naruto said. "Y-Yeah." Hinata said.

They soon met up with Kakashi, Yamato, Kiba, Shino, Sakura and Sai by the gates to get Sasuke. "Let's get going!" Naruto cheered. "Whoa now! Hold on one second, kid." A voice said and a small owl fluttered down to them. "Who said that?" Naruto asked looking around. "I did." Said the owl. "HOLY SHIT IT'S A TALKING OWL!" Naruto yelled. "Wait a moment, Fukuromaru? Is that you?" Kakashi said. "Hello again, Kakashi-san." The owl said, landing on the copy ninja's head. "Fukuromaru?" Naruto asked. The name sounded familiar to him from some where.

"Fukuromaru, you've gotten fat." Kakashi stated to the owl. "Hey, screw you! I haven't been summoned since Ayu-chan died." Fukuromaru said, pecking Kakashi's head. "And it's not like you look any better old man. What have you been doing in those nine years? Sleeping?" The owl said. "Are you tired?" Kakashi asked. "Yeah. Ana-chan has had me flying all over the place lately. To spies, back to her, to you guys. God that woman." The owl yawned. "Kakashi-sensei, you know this owl?" Naruto asked. "Geeze, brat, don't you recognize me? I was always babysitting you when you were tiny!" The owl said. "Naruto, Fukuromaru here is your sister's summon."

"You're Ayu-niichan's summon?! Where is she?" Naruto asked. The owl flew over to him and pecked him on the head. "Ow!" Naruto said. "Idiot. You're sister has been dead for nine years. Though, the girl I have decided to let summon me does kinda remind me of her." Fukuromaru said. "Huh?" Naruto asked. "Yeah, I'm sure you know Ana Shinko, correct?" Fukuromaru asked. "Ana-chan? How is she? Are Crysta and Ren doing well?" Sakura said as she and Hinata looked up at the owl. "Fine, fine. All of them are fine." Fukuromaru said. "Crysta? Ren? Who are they?" Naruto asked, though everyone was curious. "Ana's children." Sakura said. "What? She had the babies?" Naruto asked. "Yup." Fukuromaru said. "When?" Naruto asked. "R-remember w-when I b-brought M-Minato ho-home?" Hinata asked. "Yeah." Naruto replied. "W-well. I-I found him o-on th-the way b-back from h-helping Ana give b-birth." She said. "That's where we were for a month." Sakura said. "Really?" Naruto asked. Fukuromaru pecked him on that head again.

"Hey, pay attention to me!" Fukuromaru said. "Sorry, Fuku." Naruto said. Then his eyes went wide as he remembered the small owl always babysitting him while Ayu trained with some one from the ANBU black ops.

"Anyways. Ana sent me to tell you that in a few days away from here, you're going to meet a masked man and a blonde girl just before you find Sasuke. Don't trust them." She said. "Why would we trust them?" Sai asked. "Nearly everyone in the Akatsuki is a spy of Ana's except for two people. They may have the odds in numbers, but these two are smarter, stronger and faster than all of them. She said they may seem weak and useless, but they are not people to underestimate. I don't know, but I don't think they are fighting alone. If Ana is forming an army, who's to say they aren't?" Sakura said. "You sure know a lot for someone with such a small head." Fukuromaru said as she fluttered to sit on Sakura's head.

"But what cherry blossom here said is true." The owl said. "But as I was saying, with those two traitors, there will be another girl. A brunette with a dark Green dragon necklace. Her you can trust. She works directly for Ana. When you see her, she will show her necklace and say "I hope you are prepared to die." That means "I am a spy for Ana. I will help you through this with out showing I'm a spy." To that you must respond "I hope you dug the grave." That is the code for "I trust you." When you state that, she will know that you are the group she will need to help." Fukuromaru said. "Uhm… So, wait, what do I say?" Naruto asked. "I hope you dug the grave." Sakura said. "I got it, don't worry." Fukuromaru stretched her wings then continued. "Lets see know. Pink hair, Hyuga and Socially awkward." She said. Hinata and Sakura looked to her as she flew on to Sai's head and pecked him. "Socially Awkward Penguin! I'm talking to you!" She said. "Penguin?" He asked.

"You three fight the blonde girl. When the brunette gives you a signal, you just have to pin her arms and legs long enough for one of you to knock her out. Then when Brunette says so, go get the Uchiha snob back." Fukuromaru said then fluttered back to Naruto's head. "The rest of you, focus on fighting the man. Brunette will fake fight a few of you, but keep an eye out for her signals." She said. "Great! Thanks, Fuku! You can go back to Ana now." Naruto said. "Actually, Ana wants me to go with you to at least the half way point before I leave." She said, getting comfy on Naruto's head. "Why not all the way?" Naruto asked. "Because I'm seen by the masked man and Blond bitch, they'll know what who you've sided with." Fukuromaru said. Back at the Akatsuki base, Tabetha sneezed. "Okay, well, I guess we go now?" Naruto asked. "Yup. And try not to twitch around too much, Naru. I'm trying to sleep up here." Fukuromaru said. And with that they were off.

About two days later…

Ana's P.O.V.

I was totally exhausted. I had traveled for two days strait after parting ways with Sasuke. I was finally at the point where I would collapse from hunger if I was about twenty five steps away from the front door of the base. I took a gulp of water and strode proudly in to the base. I flung open the door and took a deep breath. "Hey, guys, I'm back!" No sooner than the words passed my lips, in filed everyone minus my children, cousin, enemy and the two leaders to greet me. "Ana!" Shay yelled as she leapt on me and pulled me in to a hug. "Where the hell did you run of to?" Kira asked as she and Miranda pulled me in to a double head lock. "Ha-ha. Just tying up some loose ends." I laughed. Everyone pulled me in to a welcome back hug with the exception of Zetsu, Itachi and Brianna. "Ana Ayu Uchiha." Brianna said sternly. I grinned at her like an idiot that knew they just did a Gavin Free. (A/N: Ahem, if any of you have seen any Achievement Hunter videos with Gavin, you will understand how stupid he is. His stupidity makes him famous. But it's funny. Anyone who hasn't… I would Highly suggest watching a few "Let's Play Minecraft" episodes on roosterteeth .com.) Brianna glared at me.

"What the fuck were you thinking? You missed my wedding!" Brianna pouted. I laughed and reached in to my bag. "I thought I might, so I grabbed this when passing through a small town." I said and gave Brianna a little Gamabunta plushie. She gasped and hugged it. "I always wanted one of these!" She squealed. "I know. That's why I got it for you, dork wad." I joked. Brianna ignored me and dashed of to show Crysta and Ren what their mommy had given to Auntie Brianna. I shook my head and looked at my husband. Apparently as I was talking to Brianna, he had disappeared with everyone else. I sighed and scratched the back of my head. Yup. He was pissed off. As predicted. I hoped Crysta and Ren wouldn't mind Mommy sharing a room with them for a bit.

"ANA! GET YOUR SORRY LITTLE ASS IN MY OFFICE NOW!" Pein's loud voice echoed through out the halls of the base in fury. "Nagato's on his period now. Well, looks like my shit is about to be shoved up my ass." I said and marched right in to the office. I plopped down on the couch, still covered in dirt and leaves from the few times I thought there was a branch, but just a lot of leaves. Like the skilled ninja I am, I landed on my face every time. "You rang?" I said. Pein was actually not at his desk, but looking out the window that was usually covered by thick black drapes.

"I can't believe you, Ana." He growled. I sighed and waited for the monologue. "You deliberately went on this mission behind my back after I told you not to do it! Give me one damn good reason why I should not punish you." He said turning around to glower at me. I sighed and sat up strait. "One, that what the shortest monologue ever. Of all time. Now on to my reasons. One, I came back. No scratches, not open wounds, not bleeding to death, we're good. Two, everyone else is alive. And three, we now pretty much have an entire army on our side and I just saved my husband's life. Again. Now, dish out the punishment that you believe will be effective against me that will not damage us all." I said. He sighed. "I'll leave your punishment to Itachi. He's madder than I am." He said. "Okay! Bye-bye!" I said and left the office and headed back to the bedroom of my husband and me. I grabbed a towel and a fresh set of cloths.

I decided to take a shower before my husband shut me out. I washed my body and my hair thoroughly, washing out every leaf, twig and bit of dirt. After I was clean and fresh I got dressed and stepped out. Itachi wasn't in the room, so I decided to go get some food to eat. I ended up making some of my signature garlic lemon chicken. After I was fed to make up for the few days I missed, I went back to the bathroom and brushed my teeth, then stepped in to the room to face my husband. I know, I was delaying, but I think Itachi was okay with it. I had a feeling that he really didn't want to talk to me at the moment. He was lying on his side on the bed. He looked like me on a bad day from behind. I sighed and sat by him and rubbed his arm. He opened his mouth to talk to me.

"I'm sorry." I cut him off. "I know I should have told you about it instead of leaving a terribly written note as a poor explanation. I only did it because I know you would have gone to Pein and told him to cut me off before I got the chance to go where I was heading." I said. He stayed silent. I felt his rage slowly building. I gently rubbed his arm. "I really am sorry, Itachi." I said.

"You don't know that." He said, speaking to me for the first time to day. "Huh?" I asked. "You don't know that I would have gone to Pein about this. Ana, I understand that you are trying to save us! I understand what you are trying to do! But you have to have just a little more faith in us! In me. Don't you realize how much that hurts? To not be trusted enough by the person you love so much that they would sneak out and not tell you a damn thing? Ana, I wouldn't have stood in your way if you had just told me the truth!" He said. I hadn't seen him this mad since back when I was still pregnant with Crysta and Ren. I stared at me lap as he turned his back to me. I looked up at the ceiling.

"You're right." I said. I felt him shift to look at me. "You're right, Itachi, I'm being unfair. I know that you can handle yourself and that you trust me. But, I just get so scared when I think about losing you that I just can't think strait. I don't want to lose you or Crysta or Ren or Kira or Hidan or Nagato or Konan or Amanda or Miranda or Deidara or anyone. I understand that you're mad, and I'm not going to make any excuses for you to forgive me. You'll forgive me when you're ready. I'm sorry." I said as tears began to build in my eyes. I stood up and grabbed a blanket and a pillow. I walked towards the door that lead to Crysta and Ren's room. "I love you." I said and stepped in. I pulled out the futon and put down the pillow and blanket. Crysta woke up and began to fuss.

I walked over to my baby girl's crib and picked her up. "It's okay, sweetie. Mommy's home. Mommy will have to leave again soon, but don't worry. You'll come, too. So will Ren. And this time you'll be able to meet uncle Sasuke. And if things go okay, Uncle Naruto, too. You're okay, princess. Mommy's here." I said. She was still pretty fussy. "Don't worry, it's Mommy's fault that Daddy's mad. Everything will be okay. Daddy and Mommy won't break up. Everything will be okay, sweetie. Go back to sleep." I said then began to sing a bit of Come by the Hills by Damian McGinty. Crysta finally believed me and fell asleep. I lied her down on her bed and walked back to the futon and shut off the light before cuddling in to the uncomfortable furniture.

The next morning, I was taken by surprise when Amanda came dashing in, waking me up to notify me that Konan had gone in to labor. I immediately dashed to my friend's side, grabbing her hand. Amanda and Nyisha hadn't let Nagato in. Once again, it was only one short day for Konan to give birth to a beautiful boy with spiky blue hair. She cuddled the little boy in her arms as her cried. I felt my own tears flow as the son of my second cousin was born. "Yahiko. Yahiko Uzumaki." Konan cried. I smiled and hugged them both. "Welcome to the world, Yahiko." I whispered to him and stroked his cheek. Nagato came flying in to the room to see his son.

"He's so small." He whispered. I nodded. Konan put the baby boy in his arms and said his name. "Yahiko. My son and best friend." He laughed. I smiled and cried at how beautiful the little family was. Nagato kissed the small boy's head. I wiped my tears and looked at my friends who were wiping away their own tears. I looked out the window of the delivery room and saw Tabetha and Tobi standing there, staring at Yahiko. I looked at the other three girls in the room. Amanda, Nyisha and Miranda nodded to me. My fist clenched on my lap. If we were going to make a move, there was no better time. But, it would have to wait for the better time. We had strength in numbers, but who was to say that these two fucks weren't making their own army?

As soon as Konan was healed and the two baby sitters (Nyisha and Kakuzu) were organized, we set out for our mission. Itachi, Miranda, Deidara, Brianna Tabby, Tobi and I all went in the same direction while Pein and Konan went to fight Jiraiya. "Good bye, Sensei. I'm sorry that I couldn't save you." I thought as I watched them go. "We'll see you there." Brianna said. "Don't take too long. I'll get board." Zetsu said. We nodded and set off. Kira, Hidan, Shay and Sasori all set off for their own mission that Nagato had assigned them.

We walked for three days. Conversation was rare. It was soon at the point where Itachi and I parted ways with Brianna, Miranda, Deidara, Tabetha and Tobi. We stopped in our tracks at that point. They stopped and turned to look at us. "This is where we part ways." I said. "We understand. Good luck. To both of you." Miranda said and hugged me. "Be careful. Don't die, yeah." Deidara said. "Same to you, Deidara." I said and hugged him. "Watch your self." I said to Brianna as she hugged me. "Same to you." She said. I merely nodded to Tabetha and Tobi. They continued and Itachi and I staid still. When they were out of sight, Itachi turned to go to his destination. "Let's go." He said.

"Actually, this is where we part ways, too, Itachi." I said. He turned to face me. "You're sneaking away again?" He asked. I shook my head. "Not this time." I grabbed his hands. "I'm going to meet up with Sasuke in private. There are things we need to go over." I said. He gently grabbed my chin and forced me to look him in the eyes. "Thank you for telling me." He said. He pressed his lips against mine, then hugged me. "Good bye." He said. "It's not good bye yet, I'll come back." I said. "I love you." He said. "I love you, too. I'll see you soon. Be careful." I said. He pulled away and held my hands between his. "You, too." He said. I kissed him one more time and turned to follow the group. I leapt in to the trees and hopped right past them with out anyone realizing it. I didn't stop for two days. I reached the rendezvous point where I was going to meet Sasuke the next morning and settled in for some sleep.

I woke up when I felt Sasuke's chakra coming closer to me. I moved to sit up right on the tree branch, pulling the hood of my cloak up. Sasuke landed on the ground in front of me moments later. "Sasuke." I said. "Vampire." He said. "For the last time, I am not a vampire! I just like the dark." I said. "Whatever, let's get this over with." He said and sat down. I stood up on the branch and drew a kunai. "You know, I would like to, but I thought I told you to come alone." I said and tossed the kunai to a tree a ways back. "Ieee!" Karin squealed as she fell from the tree. "Really? One of the other two I could handle, but her?" I asked. "What's wrong with me?" Karin asked. "Think really hard about that question and let me know when you've come up with the correct answer." I said.

"Karin, go back to camp." Sasuke said. "But, Sasuke-kun. I thought that maybe we could have a picnic together after the meeting." She said, pulling a basket from behind the tree. I hopped down by her and took the basket and opened it. "Hey you little ass hole! That's mine and Sasuke's lunch!" She said. I looked up at her. "Oh come on! I haven't slept in that long since I was sixteen." I said. I checked my watched and saw that Karin was correct. It was noon. "Damn it. Thanks for the food, bitch, bye-bye." I said and hopped up on to a tree branch. I pulled a sandwich from the basked. "Oh, yay! Turkey!" I said and took a bite. "Hey! Come back with our food!" Karin said.

I spat the food back out on to her head. "Ew. It's rancid!" I said and tossed the sandwich at her. "Sandwich, sandwich, sandwich…" I murmured, going through the basket, despite the threats and complaints I got from Karin. I had begun to throw the food out, considering that Karin's cooking was poisonous. "Sandwich, sandwich, sandwich, apple, tea, tea, sandwich, sandwich, sandwich, Condom?" I asked, pulling the small package from the basket and staring at it. Karin's face turned as red as her hair. "What the hell kinda picnic is this?" I asked, opening the condom. "Th-that's none of your business!" Karin yelled at me. I threw the now stretched out condom on her face. "What the hell?!" Karin yelled. "It's nice you'd want to protect him from your STDs but that won't do you much good. Sasuke's got a girl that he's already slept with." I said. "Dwhaaaaaa?" Karin whimpered. "Shoo, shoo, now. This is private business, bye-bye!" I said. Karin stormed off. I dropped the basket to the forest floor. "Don't eat any of that. Everything is either over cooked or under cooked. Including the condom." I said. I heard Sasuke chuckle.

"Now. Let's get down to some business, shall we?" I said.

Brianna's P.O.V.

I was beginning to feel anxious. It was only a few days before Sasuke would show up to fight Deidara and Miranda. I could only pray that everything would go right. Only a few days after that would I be helping Naruto and the rest of the team go through Tobi and Tabetha. We were in the place we would need to be to fight them. I was pacing all over the place while Tobi and Tabetha climbed through the trees like monkeys and Miranda and Deidara were sitting on a large rock that would soon not be there. "Brianna, will you sit down? You're driving me nuts, yeah." Deidara said. "Sorry. I'm just anxious because of… you know." I said. Miranda patted the rock next to her and I sat down. She ruffled my hair. "Don't worry so much, okay? I'm here. We'll escape just fine, I know it." Miranda said.

I got up and began to pace around again. I wondered if Zetsu was lonely. Or annoyed with each other by now. Maybe I should have gone with him? I sighed and finally climbed up in a makeshift hammock that I made when we got here. I decided that I may as well read a bit to settle my mind. I turned on my music and listened to Kenny Chesney while I read a fantasy book. I looked up at the sky a few pages later. It was starting to turn dark. I slipped out of my hammock and spread my wings and took off towards the sky. I sucked in a deep breath and sighed shadows through out the forest, freaking out some bears. I began to wrap shadows around some trees. I crushed one tree with the shadow. I smirked. I could definitely use this in battle.

"Impressive. Try this on for size." I turned and saw Miranda with ocean blue wings floating in the air behind me. She sucked in the cool night air and then spat out a blob of water. She shot the orb at a tree then sent a cool breath at it, turning it in to a ball of ice. When it met the tree, it shattered. The tree, that is. "Wow." I said. "We're pretty amazing." She said. "Yeah. I just hope that we all survive." I said. We fluttered back down and settled in our hammocks.

The next day at noon, Sasuke and his new team arrived.

In all honesty, I finished this a lot sooner than I expected. So, it seems that things are picking up quite nicely. Well then. Hey look! A short ending note! That is definitely new, wouldn't you guys say so? So, what will happen next chapter? I'll leave you guys hanging for a bit. Oh, the ending note isn't short anymore. Well, See ya'll next month! Bye! Don't forget to Review!

Next time, on EA2: Screwin' with Shippuden:

"Good bye, Sensei."

"Hold on to me, I won't let you go, I promise, un."

"You fight well, both of you. I'll give you that."

"This is where I leave you. Don't forget your objective."

"NO!"

"How… could this have happened?"
