IMPORTENT! AUTHOR NOTE!!

Hiya, everyone! Well now, it's almost 4:00 am and I felt like writing a chapter! I've been having trouble sleeping...ANYWHOODLE DOODLE POODLES!

As you all know Akahana is the main character in this story. Jin Dainichi is her father, ((who hardly plays a role in all this)); Natsume is her step-sister who has a slightly larger role then Jin. And Jing plays a slightly bigger role then the two of them. HOWEVEEEEER, I'd like to add one more character to this fanfic!

And I want one of YOU to make said character! Now, the character can act anyway you want, can be any gender, can be a ninja, can have any back story, ya know, all that jazz. You make it all up. The character will play the role of Akahana's best friend, and will have a larger role then Jing, Natsume, and Jin. Also, I'll draw a picture of said character for the creator. ((Non-crap dA account: Remzers . deviantart .com )) Send me a message with the characters name, abilities; how he/she knows Akahana, any details about the character, looks, personality, back-story the works. That's about it!

Ps.! I've heard theories that Zetsu's fly trap isn't attached to his body, and he can take it off. Now, I have no idea if this is true or not, nor do I want to spread false rumors, only reason I bring it up is that in this fanfic, he doesn't have it ((you'll discover why later...also, does anyone know if this is true or not? I would like to know))

Onto the chapter?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I looked down at the man lying in the alley. He had short, green hair. And his face was half white and half black. I quickly leaned down next to the man. "Whoa! What is up with this guy?" I thought, as I slowly reached my hand out towards him. I reached my trembling finger out towards his cheek...

Poke.

I poked his cheek, gently. When nothing happened I did it again.

Poke.

And again.

Poke.

Poke.

PokePokePokePokePoke.

Suddenly, the man groaned. "Eep!" I did a quick backwards dash, running into a brick wall behind me. When the man didn't move, I hesitantly went next to him again. I reached my finger out towards his cheek slowly. The man's hand shot up, grabbing my wrist.

"Poke me again, and I'll rip your arm off." the man said in a robotic voice. My eyes widened and I screamed.

"OhmygodOhmygodOhmygod" I thought, "he's a ROBOT!?! But...he looks...Maybe he's a mutant! Or an Alien! ... A Mutant Alien Robot!" I gulped, looking serious.

The man let go of my wrist, and sat up. He placed his hand on his stomach, and said in a much more emotional voice. "I'm starving!" He looked on the verge of tears.

"Oh!" I smiled, "I can take you to get something to eat!" I was surprised with myself. This man just threatened to rip my arm off, and yet I felt so calm. Usually, I'ld be running away by now...then probably run into a pole or something...then get up...and run somemore... gosh, I'm a coward. I was dragged out of my self-pity when the man spoke up.

"You can?" My heart began to race as the man smiled alittle, looking happier.

"Yeah!" I smiled and held my hand out to help him up; instead he did something I didn't expect...

CHOMP!

He bit down hard on my hand. I just stood there, surprised. He opened his mouth a second later, and stuck his tongue out. "Blech! You taste horrible!" He said in his robot voice again.

"uhbwa..." I was shocked. I stood there for almost a minute when I realized what had happened. I looked down at my now bloody hand. "...This can't be!" I thought, "A vampire too!!"

The man placed his cheek in his palm and sighed. "Humph. I thought you were gonna get me food, woman." He suddenly looked a little surprised. "W-wait a minute! W-where's my venus fly trap!" He said more emotional. He began to pat himself down, as if he had stashed it in his pocket. He looked franticly around the alley, and I helped him search, pretending I had a clue to what we were doing.

"I-it's gone! I feel so naked!" He fell on his bottom, and looked down. "Dammit! Deidara, and Itachi-san always pull this crap with me!" He said angrily, then suddenly looked like he was gonna cry, "Why do they hate me?..." he sat in the corner of the alley talking to himself, when it hit me.

"SKITZO!" I said as I quickly pointed at him.

"Uh...excuse me?" He said looking confused.

"S-so, so, so, so, you're a skitzo vampire mutant alien robot!"

"What?" He raised his eyebrow, as if I was insane. "You're cra-" He suddenly was cut off when his stomach rumbled loudly. "erm-" He quickly rubbed his belly, blushing.

"Food! Right!" I exclaimed, pulling him up, now determined to help him. "Come, Mr. VampireSkitzoAlienMutantRobotGuy! I'll get you some blood! That's what vampires eat right?" I dragged him out of the alley.

"Uh! H-hold on a second!" He said in protest, but I wasn't about to let him win. I was bent on helping him, forgetting all about my grocery shopping.

When we reached the inn, I looked around, making sure that no one saw me. I pulled him in, hugging his arm, "come on, the kitchen is this way!" I tugged him towards the kitchen when...

"OH. MY. GOODNESS."

...Natsume spotted us.

"I expected you to go shopping! Not pick up a...uh..." she looked at the man, trying to find the right word for him.

"A skitzo vampire mutant alien robot." I said, seriously.

"Oh, a skitzo vam- wait, what?"

"Just, don't tell dad!" I said in a harsh whisper.

Too late. My father was standing behind Natsume, looking at me and the man. I expected him to be shocked but instead he smiled.

"Well, you found yourself a man! Good for you!" I was shocked, and appalled at the same time. Whenever a local girl gets hitched with a man, especially one as peculiar as this, the father is outraged! There is a sudden clash of hate and anger that spurs from the young girls soul, as she rises up against her father! Tears are cried, fights are fought! Then you find out that the man is actually an evil twin and the girl is secretly his cous- Man, I need to stop watching Soap Operas... And yet, there my father stood in front of me. Giving me the go-ahead with a big smile, and a thumbs up.

I blushed, embarrassed about how the tall, thin man that stood beside me must feel.

"So…where's the food?" I looked up to find the man, looking side to side. He seemed to be completely ignoring the conversation going on around him. I couldn't help but feel a little anger build up inside me. I felt as if I wasn't good enough. Which is how I felt most of my life, but it felt different some how. Rejection. I've never been on an actual date. To busy with work. Nor did I get asked out often, because I'm to shy. However, now I know how those pretty blonde haired girls who I watch on TV every Saturday night feel. Unlike them, I can't put on a brave face and swallow it up.

I let my bangs fall over my face, as I felt my cheeks get hot.

"You're…you're so stupid!" I rasped out, as I felt the tears swell up. I quickly put my face in my hands and ran off in search of my room. The three of them turned their heads towards me. I even, almost ran into Jing, who was just walking into the room. But, I quickly swerved around him. The last thing I wanted was for Jing to see me cry more.

The tall green haired man looked confused and shocked at the same time, as he looked towards where I ran. "But! My food!" They all just looked at him, not to sure what was going on.

I plopped on my bed, my face hot and tear streaked. I couldn't help but feel like an idiot running out like that. I grabbed my pillow and hugged it between me and my knees. I mean, it's not like I was really going out with the guy. I don't even know his name! It was all just a misunderstanding on my familys part, but...

For some reason it still hurts. My chest feels encoded in flames, or like there's a wild bear in the pit of my stomache trying to break out. I quickly fell backwords, laying on my bed, stareing at the ceiling. "Stupid...you shouldn't have...run away like that..." I whispered to myself, as i felt the tears return to my eyes. And with that, I cuddled up to my pillow and had just enough time to think of how rude it was for mr. vampire to be worried about his food, instead of me, before drifting off to sleep.

Boy, do I have a lot to learn about men.
