Sun hurt my eyes. They began watering after so long in a damp room, with no lightning at all. Hot, scolding air felt so good against my skin, sending shivers down my spine. Wind, smell of the dry foliage and fresh cactus water - it all made my head spin. My wrists are swollen and I think a few ribs are broken - but it matters not. As soon as I saw

Kankuro, please stop being more difficult than it already is. Please, please don't do anything stupid or hurt yourself any more. Please, I'm begging you. Just be patient - I have no idea what is going on and a lot of times I have a horrible feeling you're keeping something away from me but whatever it is it can be dealt with later - right now we need to focus on getting this village back together. Please stop acting like this, we'll talk about it in private.

This scene somehow looks familiar somewhere

Pardon me?

*nod nod* Really familiar

I thought we both agreed that it was supposed to end after the mission, but clearly it didn't...at least not for me since I came all the way here. I've been ... I just don't know how to explain how I feel...

We should probably tell Sakura but I just don't know how. I don't know why it bothers me either. I mean, she's been my teammate for years and she's a...friend, but she's really sensitive. And sometimes she can be unpredictable.

The idiot has probably already told your whole village. Its not going to be long now. Hopefully Sakura hasn't heard about it from Naruto already.

I guess I shouldn't lie saying I didn't hope for it to end up like this, but I knew my chances were slim to none - one night stands on missions usually end up just that - one night stands - so I didn't hold my breath. I...also can't say I'm not surprised to see you here. You and I need to talk. A lot. About few things. I just wanted to..say thanks for putting all this effort although I can't feel but want to really, and I do mean REALLY hurt you for nearly walking into Orochimaru's hands - WHAT ARE YOU INSANE???

Before we tell Sakura though...WE need to figure out what's going on ourselves first...And then figure out how to deal with it - I have to tell MY brothers too, and that's a LOT harder than telling your teammates, especially concidering that you and Gaara nearly KILLED each other in the chuunin exam.

However, right now, I have to deal with more important things...I..uhm..I have to handle a few issues. Thanks to Kankuro, who's being a complete and UTTER jack ass...

Possibly yes. I didn't realize what I was doing until I got here. But I'm here and apparantly Orochimaru hasn't even caught wind of it yet or its not his priority so I'm okay. My seal has been burning though.

You're right. We should really figure out what's going on before telling anyone. We should probably wait awhile until the situation cools down a bit and things are atleast minutely more stable.

I'm really less worried about Gaara and more about the Clown.

I knew it. It's a rule - if I happen to like a guy he must be nuts. God this could have been such a disaster, I'm glad, I'm so glad Kabuto didn't catch on until it was already too late. I...uh. Hate to bring it up but I've noticed some of your markings spread a bit...perhaps you need to speak to someone about that...does it hurt?

I...I probably won't say this again, but I know Gaara is requesting to keep the three of you and Kakashi-san, possibly, to help out. I am not too sure if Tsunade is aware of the fact that you're here, but if she is, stay. Please. I need want you to do so.

Don't call him that, Sasuke. He has a name, you know that. It's Kankuro - the least you can do is call him by his name considering you're sleeping with his sister using his hospitality.

"I need to speak to you about Orochimaru and Kabuto as soon as possible. Please, it's very important..."

*nods* there are immediate things i need to see to in order to secure the village, but i should meet with you and kankuro about your capture for debriefing as soon as possible...
