Chapter…What is it now? No I'm joking… .ha…. No really hope you enjoy it, another longish one!

"We got a mission! Yeah! We got a mission~ yeah! Dun Dun Mission!" Chanell said as she began jerking side to side, in what Rimi tried her hardest to believe was a dance. The doctor removed the needle and checked the blood for any signs for remaining poison. He turned to Rimi and said "You're all clean." They left and relaxed on a bench near the hospital.

Rimi turned to Chanell, "A mission?" "Yeah, you know where you have to accomplish a task given to you and based on-"*POW* Rimi hit her on top of the head and accidentally put enough force for Chanell's face to hit the bench under them breaking it on impact. Rimi stood up before it completely broke in half, "I know what it is, you dumbass! It was a rhetorical question!"

"Ow,ow,ow,ow!" She glared up at Rimi "You know that hurt!" Rimi crossed her arms in exasperation, "Yeah, yeah and your mother's aunt was a cow…" "Well…technically, she did have unnecessary fat and talked about milking on her farm but I guess if we painted her black and white there would probably be no difference, hell if possible…" Rimi tuned her out and began looked at their surroundings watching people walk around and children playing. Rimi turned to Chanell again after a while when a thought hit her,"…actually she might be related to an unknown-""Chanell" she snapped out of her daze, "Yeah?" "The mission?" Rimi could almost see the light bulb appear over her head.

"Right! Well apparently the Sand Village and the Leaf Village are still on very shaky ground, as expected I mean they did just take out the big boss…. Anyway, therefore we have to set out on an adventure with a Sand team of their own to infiltrate a bandit's hideout and kill the boss. We're supposed to meet them an hour ago though…"

An irk mark appeared as Rimi grabbed the front of Chanell's kimono "You didn't think to mention this earlier?" Chanell laughed slowly "Haha!ha… Well it kind of flew out of my mind…" Rimi sighed in aggravation and began dragging her. "What the..?" Chanell asked before Rimi jumped from rooftop to rooftop. 'I hope the team we're pairing up with, isn't who I think it is, I don't think Chanell has completed her rehabilitation yet…' Rimi thought as they neared the meeting spot.

She stopped at the gate and let go of Chanell who landed on her butt with a big "ouch!" Rimi stared in shock, frozen as a statue as a big sweat drop ran down her forehead…'No-No way! They're actually here!' Chanell jumped up in anger and faced me "At least warn me if you were going to pull something like that! You know how red my ass must be from hitting each rooftop?" Rimi snapped out of her daze and poked Chanell to get her attention as she threw arms in the arms in frustration "God… and some of them were pointy! I think I lost my virginity!" Poke on the hip "What will I say to my future boyfriend!?" Poke her arm "He'll be like 'Are you a virgin?' and I'll be like 'Are you kidding me? I like to shovel myself on pointy rooftops for a living or whenever I'm horny. One time I slipped and fell so hard my friend had to pull me off." Poke in the stomach *Sigh* "What!?" Chanell angrily turned to Rimi and followed her finger to whatever Rimi was pointing at.

Chanell stood up straight and waved with a "Yo!" They gave Chanell a weird look and turned to Rimi to see her shaking her head. They surveyed us before Temari looked at Chanell in recognition, "It's you…" Chanell looked behind her which at a point Rimi guessed was trying to see what she was looking at… She always was slow. It took her 10 seconds before she turned back and pointed at herself while mouthing the word "me?" It took another five for her hand to curl up into a fist, hitting her other palm as an act of realization and nodded. Rimi groaned in defeat and began walking outside of the village,

"Um…Rimi? Do you know which way the bandit hideout is?" She stopped in mid-step before sighing and turning back to Chanell and asked, "No, do you?" to which Chanell smiled and replied "No clue!" Rimi stumbled before regaining her posture and stood upright.

Rimi turned towards Gaara, "Do you guys?" where Kankuro stepped up and said "We don't know its precise location, but their located in the Northeast" Rimi sighed "Wonderful… Well shall we go?" They began jumping tree branch to tree branch with Chanell beside her, "Ne, ne, Rimi?" "Yeah?" "Doesn't this remind you of that video game, where their like 'You have a mission, get this guy and kill him,' then we have to go around, get clues, torture people, before we get to the boss?"

Rimi began thinking before replying "Well, in this case we got Gaara as well as the other two, their tracking skills at their level would be above average, as well as exceptional, then again for all we know the bandit could be a complete coward and makes his subordinates do all the work…" Chanell looked at her, "Then why is he the boss?" "Cause he's scary, the scarier the person, as well as their added scary personality the better he is at controlling and deceiving them, didn't you ever meet someone like that?"

Chanell thought for a moment before replying, "Well, there were those bad guys back then… Oh sometimes you get so scary that I agree with anything…" There was a pause before an irk mark appeared on Rimi's forehead, "What. was. that?" "I agree! I agree!" Rimi sighed in annoyance and thought with a small smile, 'sometimes she could be so truthful and blunt, it takes me and mostly everyone by surprise, but then again that's why we're the best of friends.'

Suddenly something dawned onto Rimi, "What about your rehabilitation? I think you're cured!" Chanell smiled and held up two fingers, "Hehe V sign for Victory" Rimi gave a thumbs up and looked ahead.

Unknowing to them, the three in front were listening to their conversation, in any possible case they were planning anything but all they heard was just that, a conversation. As they arrived in an open area surrounded by trees with a lake not far from their site, they stopped to rest since they were running for hours, with the other two behind them. "Oh thank heavens! I'm starving and dear pocky, I think something just died…Oh look, a lake! Swimming! I'll see you guys later!" Chanell screamed as she ran to the water. Rimi sighed as the three looked at Chanell's fading undressing figure. "Honestly…does she have any decency?" she sighed, looking around. "Um… where's the food?"

The three looked at her before Temari replied, "We have none, you live to learn in the forest without provided necces…" stopping as Rimi's warm smile froze and soon turned into a terrified look. "Oh no… we need to find some now, like right now." She said grabbing Kankuro's arm. He looked at her weirdly before asking, "Why? It's not that hard to withhold and eat later on…" "No you do not understand, when Chanell is starving, it's either she eats or she gets cranky and annoying… You do not want to run with… that type. Trust me"

Gaara looked at her before looking off to the side. Sand suddenly appeared out of the bushes with a dead rabbit impaled by a blade of sand. Rimi sagged in relief before starting a fire, shedding the fur and began to cook the rabbit. "Well that should last…" "For what?" Rimi froze before she looked at Chanell who came out of the bushes. The sight made Rimi groan and face palm as well as catch the eye of the rest of the team.

Chanell came out in her kimono's undergarment with her hair completely down ending at her shoulders. The undergarment consisted of a black loose tank top and black tight shorts with her kimono hanging off her arm. Chanell stretched before sitting near Rimi on the log watching her dinner cook. Rimi hit the back of Chanell's head which ricocheted and hit the ground, "What the hell was that one for!?" Chanell asked clutching the spot Rimi hit as she sat back up. "You shouldn't show so much skin with complete strangers you just met." "They're not complete strangers, we know them, especially when they betrayed the Leaf, besides mi casa, su casa, they fought we fought, all is good." Chanell said as Rimi sighed again. "Do what you want." Chanell smiled in victory before taking the rabbit on a stick from the fire and began eating it.

Feeling the stare Chanell looked at Kankuro's smirking face, "What do you want, puppet boy?" she asked though it was mumbled though the meat. Kankuro twitched, "What was that?" Chanell stopped eating for a moment and looked straight at him " " He grit his teeth, "What do you got against me?"

Chanell shrugged before getting back to her lunch. He let it go but heard Rimi's next statement "Maybe because you're so a-like…" He stopped in mid-sitting and Chanell began chocking. She looked at Rimi before she got up in her face shaking her in distress, "Where!? Where's the similarities!? Where!?" Rimi slapped Chanell's hands off her shoulders and replied "You're both perverted…" Chanell sighed in relief "Is that all…" Rimi gave her a look as Chanell continued "Geez… Don't ever compare me with BaKankuro again…"

"Oho bring it on bitch!" He said as he stood up ready to bring out his puppet as Temari yelled "Stop Kankuro!"Chanell hid behind Gaara, hugging him from behind, smiling "Scary BaKankuro!" Gaara glared at Kankuro daring him to attack. Kankuro's hands twitched before falling to his lap as he sat back down, angry. Chanell stuck her tongue out in victory while Temari sat near Rimi who watched the scene unfold.

"Has your friend fell to many times on her head?" Temari asked, "You know, at times I really wonder…" Rimi replied lost in thought.

Unnoticed by everyone as Chanell walked out of the bushes, Gaara took a glance at Chanell's body and followed a stray droplet that fell from her hair and slowly dripped down to her cleavage which strained from her top. Only when she disappeared and he felt arms around his shoulders did he snap back to reality.

"Hehe Gaara's so warm" Chanell said as she rubbed her face in his back. She slid around his front and laid her head into his lap smiling. In less than a minute, Chanell's breathing slowed and fell into a deep sleep. Gaara looked down in surprise, though it didn't show in his face and had no idea where to put his hands. Sand poured out of his gorge in any attempt of an attack once his guard was down, but it froze once Rimi began to speak,

"You know, it may be hard to believe but she's doesn't have any bad intentions. If she did, I promise you she would have gave you a sign of some sort. It must have been tough when you were young as a Jinjuriki, but Chanell welcomes you with open arms, do me a favor and embrace it." Gaara stared at her for some time before the sand disappeared back into his gorge and he set his arms down slowly, one on her arm and the other on her head.

His siblings looked at him in surprise and smiled secretly at Gaara's gentleness. "Uh one more thing, do watch out. Sometimes she acts out in her sleep, and does sleep like the dead either way but if you keep her warm enough, she doesn't move." Rimi said as she got comfortable on the log. Temari moved to sit on a nearby tree while Kankuro sat on the tree trunk, Temari glanced at Rimi who was wearing knee-high tight pants with a pouch on her thigh, where Temari guess had kunai and was wearing a black sweater with a dark green tank top underneath.

"What about you?" Temari asked. Rimi looked up in question and asked "What do you mean?" "Do you welcome the Sand, the ones who betrayed you?" Rimi laughed lightly, "Anger and sadness, only does so much, but it doesn't bring the dead back, no matter how hard you try" Rimi face darkened, but lightened again as she continued "why mourn when during that time you can become stronger?" The siblings looked at her before Rimi said "Gaara doesn't sleep right? So you're taking the shift? Wonderful, thanks" and turned over getting comfy before nodding off.

Morning

Once morning arrived Kankuro shook Rimi and Temari. They got up and became alert at Kankuro's excited face. "We're near the base, I found them during patrol. Let's go" "Wait" They turned to Gaara who has still had Chanell on his lap curled like a baby with a sand blanket over her that was disappearing. "She won't wake up" He said. Rimi sweatdropped. "Uh yeah, just carry her, she'll wake up eventually" Kankuro sniffed in annoyance "I'll wake her" Rimi sighed "It won't work…"

Kankuro shook her, nothing, shouted, not even a turn, made RImi use a water jutsu, which ended up with a punch to the face to Kankuro as Chanell turned over and sighed. "Gaara could you carry her? It would be a big help, less interference" Gaara nodded and picked her up bridal style. Chanell laid her head on his chest and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Let's go"
