Ello to the people of the internets.

Amazingly, I'm updating this, despite my parents being pains about me typing. Why, do you ask? They keep thinking I'm not getting enough sleep, and as a result, keep stealing my laptop at unholy hours. The thing they don't get is I'M BASICALLY AN INSOMNIAC.

Anyways... Despite my computer problems, here's the next chapter.

Enjoy ^^

"Erm..." I muttered, looking around in the room Kabuto used to store clothing. "What do you take to the lake...?"

Tayuya sighed impatiently. "The same shit you take to the beach."

I laughed nervously. "I see... I see… Um... And what do you take to the beach?"

She blinked. "Eh?"

"Well... The last time I went to the beach I was... Four and a half. And I tried to eat a jellyfish." I stuck my tongue out at the memory. "It didn't even taste like jelly!"

"So you've NEVER gone swimming before...?" She asked, rasing an eyebrow.

"Nuuu… I never said that... I had a pool in my backyard."

"Then just bring whatever you bring to the pool."

"Ookay..." I muttered, digging through the plies of fabric. I do not know where Kabbers gets all of it. And personally I do not WANT to know. I don't want to know what he does with it all, either.

Once I had grabbed all of my stuff we went to the living room and waited. Tayuya was preoccupied with reading the first volume of Bleach. I ran into the kitchen and made more pudding to take with me.

When I got back Tayuya was almost done with the manga. "Damn." I muttered, handing her the second volume from my magical backpack of manga.

"What? It has violence."

I rolled my eyes. "Yes. Violence. Of course."

It was around that time that the other members of the Sound Six finally showed up. Sakon and Kidomaru were basically jumping around like a couple of kids that had eaten way too many pixie sticks (Not a pretty sight, believe me.), Jirobo was being used as a human pack mule and Kimimaro was about as thrilled as I was.

"Remember to stay below the radar." Kabuto was saying. "Don't kill anyone, don't steal anything and DON'T draw attention to yourselves."

"Yeah, yeah. Can we go now?" Sakon said, not paying attention.

Kabuto sighed. "Fine."

As we walked by I heard him mutter "What have I done..?"

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No!"

"Are we there yet?"

"NO!"

I grinned. "All you had to do was tell me. Sheesh." Sakon flipped me off.

"Now who's the one with no manners?"

"I will kill you."

"Meanie."

I slowed down a little so I could run (Or jump through trees) next to Tayuya. Amazingly she was jumping while reading Bleach and not falling fifty or so feet to the forest floor.

"Still readin'?"

Nod.

"Lots of violence?"

Nod.

"Erm... Can you do anything but nod?"

Shake.

I sighed, going over to Kimimaro, desperate for conversation. "Ellos! Choo look thrilled."

"That was sarcasm, right? Because if it's not then you need to get your eyes checked." He replied.

I tilted my head to the side. "Well then. Hey, it could be worse!"

"How could it be worse...?" He asked, rasing an eyebrow.

"Weeeeell... It could be snowing or something!" Kimimaro sighed.

"Knowing our luck there will be a tornado."

I grinned, patting him on the head. "Aren't you the optimistic one?"

"Hell yeah!" Sakon yelled from the front of our group. "We're here!"

A few second later we were out of the shade of the trees. I landed on the sand (Almost falling on my head, by the way) and looked around. The lake was pretty big, surrounded by trees. We were in a pretty good spot, seeing as it was nearly impossible to see us farther down the shore; there was a lot of plant life blocking the view. About twenty feet out there was a tree with what looked like a rope swing tied to one of its branches. And to the side there was a fire pit someone had obviously used, seeing as the entire area around it was covered in ashes.

I blinked. "Not bad."

Kimimaro rolled his eyes and walked over to the trees, sitting down on a rock in the shade and holding his head in his hands.

"Well it looks like Kimimaro lurves being here." I said, tilting my head to the side. Tayuya shrugged, putting the manga in a bag she brought with her.

"Who cares?"

I sighed, picking up my own bag and walking over to the trees. "My current goal in life is to make him show emotion."

"Yeah? And how's that working for you?" The red-haired Kunoichi asked, following me.

"Not good. Veeeeery not good."

Quickly I changed into the clothes I brought with me, a red and black bathing suit. I was planning on wearing a t-shirt and shorts, but Tayuya threatened me with a kunai, saying if she had to be freezing her arse off in the middle of fall because she was wearing a swimsuit then I was going to as well. Though I tied a towel around my waist just to piss her off.

"Suki, do you have a problem with showing your arms?" Tayuya asked as I walked out, looking extremely uncomfortable. She was basically wearing the same thing I was, the only difference being no towel and her's had white instead of black, and amazingly, she had taken off the weird hat thing.

I turned and stuck my tongue out. "I feel exposed. And seeing as we live with freaking six other guys, yeah, I want to cover up. Kidomaru is a perv. I just know he is. And don't even get me started on Kabbers, okay?! Who knows what that guy does in his spare time."

"Thank you for that freaking awesome mental image." She muttered, shaking her head.

I blinked, looking around. Jirobo was eating a sandwich (He had basically brought the entire fridge with him), Kidomaru was standing on top of the tree with the rope swing and Kimimaro had moved from the rock to a towel. Sakon was standing on the edge of the water. I noticed Ukon's head was absent from his back.

Grinning evilly I snuck up behind him, taking a deep breath. "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLOOOO SSAAAKKOONNNNN!!" I screamed as loud as I could.

He yelped, falling headfirst into the shallow water. (My god I wish I had a camera) "What the hell?!" In the background I heard Tayuya laughing her ass off.

I shrugged. "Ima just sayin' hi. Whatchya doin'?"

He sighed, getting up and shooting me a glare. Sheesh... If looks could kill.

"I'm trying to catch lunch." He said, pointing to the water. "Me and Kidomaru are catching fish."

"Jirobo brings the freakin' fridge with him and you try to go fishing? With just your hands?"

"Duh. I'm not a wimp. Besides, that fatass will probably eat everything in the freakin' fridge." He wrung the water out of his shoulder length hair, then went back to staring at the surface of the lake.

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, whatever, caveman." I turned around and started to walk away. "We'll see who the real wimp is when you're puking you guts out because you got worms or something from eating raw fish."

"Heh. How'd I do?" I asked Tayuya, turning around.

"Lets just say he's never gonna live that one down."

I grinned, noticing Kimimaro was talking to Ukon. "Who be that?" I pointed and tilted my head to the side. I wasn't supposed to know who he was.

"Oh, that's Sakon's brother, Ukon." Tayuya said, shrugging.

"Is he less annoying then Sakon?"

"I don't know. I guess. I haven't really talked to him."

I walked over to where the two were talking and sat down. "Ellooos…"

"Suki." Kimimaro said, nodding, already used to the weird way I occasionally talked… Or maybe he was just used to my weirdness in general. Eh, go figure.

I waved, then turned to Ukon. "Choo ish lipstick boy's brother, yes, yes?"

"Erm... Yes."

I grinned. "Really? I'm amazed you've survived."

"Eh, after a while you learn to ignore him." He replied, shrugging.

"And I'm guessing this pisses him off?"

"A little, yeah."

My grin grew wider. "Does it... And what else pisses him off?

"You know..." Tayuya began, following me out to the giant tree. "When a girl tries really hard to annoy the crap out of a guy-"

"Don't even start-"

"It means she luuurves him." We said the last part at the same time.

I rolled my eyes, "Didn't I already tell you I don't want any, nor believe in, that kind of stuff? It's too girly first of all, second of all it's just mushy and third of all it never ends well. Hells. No."

"You might not want it, but that's how you feel."

I turned around and glared at her. "It is not! Why the hell are you trying to play match maker all of a sudden?"

"Tch. Well if Sakon got himself a freakin' girlfriend then he'd probably be less annoying."

"Yeah? If you want him to get a girlfriend so badly then you hook up with him. I'm not interested in that kind of stuff. End of story. Buh-bye."

I looked away and started walking again, the water slowly rising to the bottom of my ribcage.

"You know I should rip out your vocal chords for saying that…"

"And deny Sakon the pleasure of doing it himself? Nah."

I started to swim. Tayuya was able to walk for a few more seconds, seeing as she was taller than me.

"Hey, I'm just saying. Besides the whole not believing in l-u-v thing what do you have to lose?"

"My self respect?"

She sighed. "Whaaaatever. Just remember- you can't fight these kinds of things. It happens."

I stuck my tongue out as we got to the tree. Quickly I climbed to the top (Chakra. Heck yeah. Kick ass). Kidomaru had left and was trying to create a giant net out of spider webs while Sakon was standing waist deep in water. With a hammer. Where he got it from I will never know.

"Woooooah this tree is tall..." I muttered looking down. Suddenly I felt someone (CoughTayuyaCough) push me, causing me to fall and land face first in the water.

"You bitch." I said, glaring after I coughed up about three gallons of water.

"Heh… Priceless." Under the water I made the Deidara's sign to focus my Chakra. Quickly I slammed my hand down on the lake's surface and catapulted myself back up.

"Oh reeeeeally?" I grinned and pushed her off the top. "HA! I AM THE MASTER OF THE TREE! OBEY ME FOOLISH MORTAL OR I SHALL EAT YOUR SPLEEN!"

After Tayuya had her turn coughing up a lung she climbed back up. "How did you do that...?"

"What, get back up here so quickly? I just used my Chakra to push off from the water."

She blinked in shock. "You... Shouldn't be able to do that yet… Especially not on your first try…"

I shrugged. "Kimimaro says my Chakra nature is water. Maybe I'm just good at stuff that involves it?"

"Yeah? Well if that's true you better start learning some freakin' water style."

My response was cut off my a large splash coming from Sakon jumping on something and beating the crap out of it with the hammer.

"OH! HELL YEAH! WHO'S THE CAVEMAN NOW, HUH?!" He screamed, holding up a decent sized (Blood covered) fish. Hey! That's probably Kisame's third cousin! Be nice!

"... Well... That's a keeper…" Tayuya remarked.

"Sakon or the fish?"

I didn't get a response.

"... Dude." I muttered, watching Sakon and Kidomaru try to gut the fish. "I am never eating fish sticks again..."

"HEY! IT HAS A LITTLE BABY FISH INSIDE IT!" The spider obsessed Shinobi yelled.

"THAT'S IT'S LUNCH! YOU CUT OPEN IT'S STOMACH YA DUMBSHIT!"

"... Oh."

I sighed, turning around to face the red orange flames. Tayuya had already lit seven marshmallows on fire. Kimimaro was only on his second, trying to make it perfect. Ukon was just eating them right out of the bag and shaking his head at his younger brother's attempts to cook fish. Jirobo was passed out a few feet away (Tayuya and I buried him in sand and drew on his face with a sharpie). I was busy drinking pudding. Yes. You heard right. Drinking pudding. I filled a water bottle with the stuff and stuck a straw in there. Genius, I know.

"Five bucks says they get food poisoning." I said, grabbing a marshmallow and putting it on a stick.

"Well duh." Tayuya replied, rolling her eyes.

"Most likely." Kimimaro agreed.

"Uh-huh." Ukon said, rasing an eyebrow at the two.

"HEY I THINK IT JUST EFFING MOVED!" Kidomaru yelled poking the twitching fish with a stick. "HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!"

"I DON'T KNOW! HIT IT WITH THE FREAKING HAMMER!"

"Yep. They're gonna die." Sighing I pulled the marshmallow out of the flames and blowing on it before sticking it in my mouth. "Or get worms. Either way they're screwed."

"Shut up." Sakon said, glaring. "Just because you wimps sit around your little campfire eating fatasses leftovers doesn't mean we have to!"

"Yeah, because obviously beating the crap out of a fish with a hammer is so much better than eating something that WON'T GIVE YOU PARASITES." I shot back, rolling my eyes.

"You're just a wimp!"

"No… I'm smart. You on the other hand... Not so much."

He glared as Kidomaru tried to make a fire, completely oblivious to the fighting.

"You just love picking fights, don't you?"

I raised an eyebrow. "Oh, yeah, like you're one to talk! You know what?! You're an annoying bastard and I hate you, so shut the hell up and go back to your bacteria ridden seafood." I turned around and grabbed another marshmallow.

"Erm... What? I speak the truth." I said, noticing everyone was staring at me.

After a few minutes of silence Tayuya blinked and quickly got up. "AH-HAH!"

"What...?" I asked.

"They'll probably get food poisoning AND worms! Heh… That would REALLY suck!"

Everyone but her did a group sweat drop, leaving the pink haired Kunoichi with a 'That really sounded better in my head' look on her face.
