Hello! Just to warn you that there is a musical part in the chapter. So I suggest you to listen to the music at the right moment. Enjoy!
- WHAAAAAAAT????!!!!! Temari's yell echoed through the forest.
- Uh... what's going on...? Kakashi asked, a bit shaken by the sudden rise in her voice.
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE IN THE HIDEOUT, YOU SILLY???!!!!
- Wait...what?! the others exclaimed in turn.
- Ughh!! Unbelievable... Sakura grumbled, rolling her eyes.
Temari's yelling sent a shiver through the Amai's entire body and she broke out in a cold sweat. She tried to remain calm despite the stress engineered by the situation.
- Wait Temari, let me explain...
- Explain what?! I thought I told you to be careful!! Then why did you come in?!
- But I didn't mean to! I swear!
- You didn't mean to huh?! Is this some kind of a joke?!
- It's not a joke, I was propelled I don't know how... Yume cried mentally.
- And you're kidding me as well!!!!
- I swear I'm noooot, Temariiii! I don't even know how I got here!
- You just don't accidentally enter an enemy hideout, you idiot!!!! And if by some miracle, you come back from there, I swear that I'll make your day!!!!
Yume swallowed hard, preferring at that precise moment to die rather than to face the next meeting with the eldest of the sand siblings.
- And no! You'd better not die either!
- Okay, okay, I'll try to stay alive...
- Well, well, the wind's been blowing pretty hard lately, hm, a voice echoed through the cavern, attracting the attention of the Amai who turned her ear.
- Do you have more interesting things to say, Deidara? Replied a deeper, almost mechanical voice.
She could hear something falling. She glanced up discreetly and made out in the half-light the bird that had dropped Gaara to the ground without any delicacy before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.
- Yume what's going on here?
- I don't know, I'm just watching for now.
- You are late!
Yume gasped when at the sound of this new, garbled voice that seemed to come from beyond the grave.
- We apologise. We came as fast as we could. This vessel was tougher than he seemed.
- Enough. Let's begin without further ado.
- Begin?
As she tried to work out what was happening, Yume suddenly heard a whirring sound against her ear, followed by a small squeak at her side.
- Hermes! She exclaimed in a whisper as she saw the little mechanical eye looking up at her with a cheerful gleam.
She took the little creature in her hand and patted him gently. He replied with a happy expression while his key made a few turns.
- Thank you very much for finding Gaara, the creature replied by another squeak.
As the girl answered Hermes with another smile, she startled in surprise, when she felt the ground tremble beneath her feet. When she looked back at the scene, her heart stopped.
