Yay! We get to learn a Japanese word today!

Rimi POV

"Rimi…Rimi…"

Ugh? I swear I know that voice…

"Rii~mi…Oi…R-i-m-i…Oooiii…RIMI!"

"What!?" I screamed as I sat straight up hitting something which left a stinging pain on my left elbow and a loud thud echoing in my ears… Ignoring the sensation for now I took a look around the room. White curtain, white room, one large window on my right, an empty chair, Chanell with her face in the wall, I stretched and took a second glance, *Yawn* 'Looks like nothing has changed'

"Mphf…Ahatsun…Walf" Chanell said with her head in the wall trying to get out. With one final push she got out and stormed up to me, with anime tears *Sweatdrop*. "What have I done!? Huh? Is that a first thing in your list!? Wake up and hit Chanell, cause God knows what s-mphf" I covered her mouth with my left and yawned again covering my own with the other. "You know this is one of the best sleep I had since forever… Maybe being here is good for me…" Chanell's eye twitched and took my hand from her mouth, "Do you realized how you got in that state in the first place?" "Huh? Oh you mean the battle? I was poisi-"she sighed and face palmed "No…Not that part, the part where you had a nice nap?" "Huh? Oh you mean-I'm going to kill them!" I screamed as I jumped up ready to tear their throats while Chanell held me down.

"How dare I miss my fight!? I'll murder them with my own two hands, oho just see, they'll have to watch their backs!" Somewhere in the hospital a few nurses and doctors shivered as a cold chill passed through them. I got off the bed turned to Chanell. "So what did I miss exactly…tell me everything." Chanell began whistling and looking off in a different direction, "Oh…you know, this and that, nothing really, just the betrayal and such…" Chanell shivered and turned towards me fully to see me glaring at her.

"Say that one more time…" She began waving her arms "Like I said nothing much!" I gave her a once over before I put my face in my hands 'God…how long was I out for?' *Sigh*, "Mmhmm… Well what about now?" Chanell looked to the side before looking back at me and said "The Third Hokage is dead… Orochimaru barely escaped, Naruto had just left with Jiraya, to fetch Tsunade… You slept like the dead through all that you know?" I glared at her through my black bangs before stretching once more and began to put on my clothes.

"You know, we should go to the onsen (hot springs- OMG Japanese word) after this, cause your long black hair, which you usually keep in a ponytail is sort of greasy, still silky smooth, but greasy now, and I REALLY want to fully relax once in this world." I looked at her before nodding in agreement putting on my shirt.

When we left the hospital we began heading towards the hot springs but stopped along the way to grab some…necessities. When we passed through a training field we saw Tenten and Neji, basically what's left of Team 9 since Mini-Me is still at the hospital with his look-a-like Dr. Gay I mean Gai (Austin Power ) who is there to provide his pupil with oh so encouraging words. When they spotted us, Tenten gave us a confused look then smiled awkwardly when Chanell frantically waved, looking like a lunatic, and Neji gave us an indifferent look staring right at us, which made me blush slightly.

For those who are clueless, I always had a slight, miniscule, barely noticeable, slightly detectable crush on the milky eye guy, I mean not only does he fight well, but has a heart under his supposed emotionless stature. Chanell quickly ran up to them without giving me time to stop her and ask loudly "You want to join us!? Most of the time it's more the merrier, well except you know, when you're surrounded by enemies, or in a line for food…" I sweatdropped at her sudden connections but stayed silent waiting for their answer while walking up to them. Tenten smiled and nodded, turning to Neji who sighed and nodded as well. Though I may look indifferent on the outside I began cheering in my head, like Sakura's bipolar attitude. Chanell looked at me with a weird glint in her eye before looping and arm around Tenten and began dragging her leaving both of us in the dust.

Noting by now what Chanell was hinting at I lightly blushed before I turned and followed them with Neji beside me. "Where did you learn to fight?" asked Neji out of the blue which surprised me, "Learn to fight…?" I asked myself just when Chanell accidently tripped ahead and fell flat on her face. Tenten began nudging her asking if she were alright before Chanell got up slowly, rubbing her bleeding nose saying she was just fine. She got up with Tenten and began walking slower than before, nearing the hot springs.

I put my finger to my lips, "It's a secret" and Chanell sighed in the background. She called out to us "We're here!" and ran inside, dragging Tenten. We paid, undressed and went into the hot springs. Chanell ran in bare naked before disappearing underwater and rising when she found her perfect sitting spot. Tenten sweat dropped just as I face palmed probably thinking the same thing 'She has no shame' before walking in with flimsy towels barely covering us.

"So what brings you to Konoha?" "The Chunnin Exams…" Tenten laughed lightly, "No I mean, why this village?" "Cause it's more peaceful and relaxing than the other villages, and it's strong as well." "You mean the peace broken from the betrayal?" "Pretty much…" I laid back against the rocks and closed my eyes, this was the life.

"RIMI!"

I jumped up from my sitting position in alarm along with Tenten. "What!?" Chanell pointed up to the clouds, "Look! A cloud that looks like a drumstick, isn't that co-!" she started before I punched her. Chanell flew to a large rock and slid down before covering her head, rubbing it. I sat back down in aggravation as I crossed my arms and looked at Tenten, "Sorry about that" Tenten looked back at me before rubbing the back of her head, "No no, it's fine…"

I closed my eyes again and lied down once again against the rock. Tenten did the same as Chanell got in again and floated on her back around the springs after healing herself. Hinata entered with a meek hello and sank down with us while Ino burst in, puffing out her chest before shrinking in envy when she saw ours. I nodded in Hinata's direction before arrogantly smirking at Ino's as Chanell waved along with Tenten at both new guests. We began to hear whispering on the other side, and faintly began to recognize their voices.

"Jesus, that yell scared me…" Kiba. "You always have to expect the unexpected" Shino. "I'm hungry…" Choji. "What a bother, you just ate" Shikamaru. "Whatever…" Sasuke. "Hpmh" Neji. "Hahaha, you all jumped, you can't deny it" Azuma. "As I remember correctly you jumped too Azuma" Kakashi. Chanell perked up at Kakashi's voice and swam towards us whispering, "Guys, guys, we got to see what's under Kakashi's mask" "No" came my immediate response, "Come on… I'm dying to know!" "No" I said again as Chanell grumbled, sinking underwater continuing her little complaint while glaring at me.

I began to listen in on the guy's conversation. "Neh Neh, don't you want to see what's on the other side?" Kiba asked "You know there are teachers here…" Azuma said, "Come on, you can't say you're not curious…" "I'm not responsible for your actions" Kakashi said as he sighed, "Once a dog, always a dog…" Sasuke said, "What was that!?" Kiba roared.

I tuned out their conversation and noticed Chanell creeping up to the wall. I rose up and was about to stop her before it cracked and fell down with Sasuke on top of Kiba about to punch him. Kakashi was standing up along with Azuma about to stop them as well and Neji, Shikamaru and Choji sat there wide eyed. Chanell stood there naked and in shock just like us and the other men before she blushed bright red and took hold of the nearest person which was Shikamaru and pushed him underwater, drowning him. His arms flailed for a few minutes before they dropped disappearing underwater. Chanell looked at us with a murderous gleam in her eye, face red, laughing maniacally "Wh-What are you waiting for!? We'll drown them until they forgot what they just saw!"

I began cracking my knuckles as a dark aura surrounded me and screamed "YOU'RE ALL DEAD!"

Choji took the opportunity to grab Shikamaru and run to the exit "Perverts!" Chanell screamed out to them before grabbing the nearest object which were rocks and began throwing them. The boys began to dodge but were hit when Tenten began to join in while Hinata was off on the side covering herself and Ino was fawning over Sasuke's build. I joined in after I beat the nearest male, which was Kiba and threw a large rock hitting Choji who fell on top of Shikamaru, making him spit out the water and begin breathing again but barely.

When they all passed out from either a hard hit or near death beats, we stood up and left, grumbling. Chanell the most pissed off, threw her clothes on hastily and walked out, still wet as I ran up to catch up with her. "You know..." I started "We could always wish them to forget" She looked back at me before smiling lightly, "Why waste a wish?" before the smile froze on her face "I'm sure they already forgot" I sighed and patted her on the back "Yeah… So sad Gaara wasn't there to witness it…" Chanell stopped before turning red, "I don't know what you could be possibly implying" I chuckled, "Oh, I'm sure you do" "Hoho" Chanell started, ending up in a thinking pose with her hand holding her chin, "You're lucky that your special someone was fortunate to see them" grabbing my boobs.

I hit her on top of the head, "I-I-I have no idea what you're talking a-about!" She began elbowing me "A little more in there and goodness knows, he might have been your next target" nudge "Oh maybe he could be the one taking the ninja star from the hole in the tree, if you know what I mean" nudge. nudge "Maybe he could be the stick to your dango if you get my drift…" nudge. nudge. nudge. nudge "That's it! You're dead! Come here!" I screamed as she ran laughing with me at her heels.

Hope you like! JUST SAYING- There will be some Gaara action in the next chapter thought it may not be the one you're thinking of, you naughty person ;)!
