[In Naruto?!] -- Older Version of Dérive.

| 09 | Zabuza, Once Again! |

I just spammed 110 comments on Facebook (8D). Anyways, back to the topic at hand. One week has passed, Zabuza will strike again, yada yada yada yada. Read on, readers!

Sasuke: Isn't that what readers do?

Tiffany: Shut up, stop ruining humorous moments, chibi.

Sasuke: I hardly find that humorous.

Tiffany: Give me a moment where you actually laughed for real. Childhood doesn't count.

Sasuke: ...

Tiffany: Exactly.

FEEDBACK: Gets more kisses! Literally! I'll make sure there are more romantic moments in this story!

WARNING: Foul Language. Slight Crack. Slight Pervertedness. Excessive Use of Dialogue.

DISCLAIMER: I, LeTiffany, do not own the manga/anime Naruto or its characters. I only own the story plot and the Original Characters (OC) I create. All credits towards Naruto should go to Masashi Kishimoto.

"Ma. Please take care of Naruto."

You quickly placed a hand over your mouth to cover the yawn that came out of said hole.

"Mattaku. No fair. If Naruto gets to sleep, why can't I?"

"[Name], you know the reason."

Sigh.

"Hai, hai."

You stretched yourself, doing all you could to avoid looking at Sasuke. You hadn't forgotten about the kiss, and he made sure you hadn't. There were countless times where he would smirk at you knowingly, as if taunting you. You really started to suspect that this was actually some kind of drama than an anime. You hadn't forgotten about the 'accidental' kiss with Kibbles (Kiba) [Tiffany - Read | 02 | Graduation: Complete! |, if you're confused], and you just got your second kiss taken by Sasuke. Who next, Naruto?! You blinked.

I shouldn't be recklessly making predictions like that...

You were brought out of your thoughts when someone slapped you on the back, bringing you back to reality. You glared at Sasuke, who simply 'hn'ed', before turning away. You scoffed as you followed your group and Tazuna, ready to fend off the second assault that would be soon executed by Zabuza. You turned your head back slightly, smiling as you mentally cheered.

More sleeeeeeeep!~

"W-what is this?!"

Your eyes sharpened the instant you had stepped onto the bridge. You could sense two chakra presences, one being Zabuza and the other Haku. The bad news, was that they were close - really close. The good news, well...there wasn't any good news.

"What's going on?! What happened?!"

"Apparently, your carpenter men have been knocked out, supposedly by Zabuza," you answered, tone serious and no where near sarcastic.
