Chapter Seven

Sammy immediately felt uncomfortable as she folded her arms, looking back at her lap. She forced her response back towards Naruto. "Um... no..." she answered, running a hand through her hair. "Why?"

"Oh, just wondering," Naruto answered quickly. He then snapped his head towards Neji. "Why don't you ask her something, Neji?"

Right after a question like that? Neji thought incredulously. It's so obvious what Naruto is trying to do. Situating himself so he was fully facing Sammy, Neji attempted to diffuse the awkward atmosphere with his question. "What do you like to do in your spare time?" he inquired.

Although Neji's question was merely a polite one, Naruto was completely satisfied with his match-making skills. He knew Neji was interested in Sammy, anyway- Neji's safe inquiry didn't fool him. But the real puzzle to him was if Sammy was interested in Neji, as well. She has to be, he thought. She's blushing as much as him!

As Savanna passed by the kitchen, she simply couldn't help herself. Catching Neji's eye, she grinned, motioned to Sammy, and formed a heart symbol with her fingers. She nearly laughed out loud when Neji quickly averted his gaze and regarded her cousin once more. Naruto watched this scene and exchanged an air high-five with Savanna.

Leaving Neji and Sammy with their love genie, Savanna walked into the living room and sank into the couch, next to the two flustered kunoichi. "Whoa," she exclaimed. "Hinata, Tenten! What happened? You guys look as if you just ran a marathon." Of course, Savanna already knew what had taken place.

"Oh my gosh," Tenten breathed. "It was him. That's all there is to it." She shakily pointed at Tobi, who was currently stretching out his gloves to make it look like he had elongated fingers.

"Y-Yeah," Hinata stuttered. "He's even funnier than... Naruto..."

Oh, I don't know about that, Savanna thought. Naruto can be pretty ridiculous sometimes. Once again, she found her mind shifting to Naruto, and she smiled to herself as she reflected upon his many funny moments.

Savanna jumped in surprise when she found the energetic Akatsuki member in her face a couple of seconds later. "Hehe... Whatcha smiling about?" demanded Tobi.

"Oh, it's nothing," Savanna quickly replied. Her stomach did flips and turns when she heard the deep tone of Deidara's voice respond to Tobi.

"Remember what I said about personal space, hmm?"

"Whaaaat?" Tobi acted as if he knew nothing about what Deidara was talking about. "I'm not invading her personal space. See?" Catching Savanna completely off guard, he plopped himself in her lap and wrapped his arms around her neck so she was unintentionally holding him bridal style. "Now I'm in her personal space!" he proudly declared.

Heh, heh, Savanna thought. I'm holding one of the most deadly enemies in the shinobi world! For some peculiar reason, she didn't feel uncomfortable engaging in such an intimate act with Tobi. With any other person, she would have definitely felt otherwise, but Tobi just seemed so childlike and innocent to her (even though she knew fully well that he wasn't). I wonder how Deidara and Kiba are going to take this... she thought.

"Hey!" Kiba exclaimed, immediately rushing over and ripping Tobi from Savanna. "Get off of her. You have no business to get that close to Savanna..."
