"Stop making so much noise, you idiot." she whispered and smacked him on the head. "She will hear us."

"Stop hitting me." he whispered back and elbowed her away.

Shion and Naruto were crouching on (Name)'s porch, fumbling with a string. It had ended up in knots and was a mess, and both of them were furiously trying to untangle it. Dressed in black clothes and wearing black masks, the only thing that would catch the eye in the night was Naruto's bright hair spilling out of the dark beanie he wore.

"My hand got stuck in it !" Naruto whispered. He shook his hand hard to get it out, but only ended up making it worse.

"Stop moving around so much and let me get it out !" Shion whispered and tried to help Naruto. But she wasn't of much help either.

A small light flashed upon them and they stared in its direction.

"You idiots ! We could hear you all the way back in the car. I'm surprised she hasn't woken up yet." whispered Sasuke as he turned off the flashlight in his hand to prevent catching anybody's attention. It was the middle of the night and they didn't want anybody misunderstanding them. Considering the circumstances and the shady way Shion and Naruto had dressed, anybody would.

He walked up to them and kneeled down. He took the tangled wire in his hands, and with a few turns, Naruto's hand was free.

"You are a saviour." said Naruto. Sasuke could see his eyes sparkling with admiration in the dimly lit night. He scoffed and sat down beside them.

"I set up the camera right there. She won't be able to see it." said Sasuke.

"I'm done untangling this. Let's fix it now." said Shion and crawled up to (Name)'s door. Naruto followed after her while Sasuke just leaned against her porch and watched them. He found himself remembering that night when he had fallen asleep on (Name)'s porch and ended up spending the night at her house.

He was brought out of his thoughts by the sound of a door unlocking. He sat upright and looked at Shion and Naruto, who looked as shocked as himself.

"Go hide !" Shion whispered to Naruto and Sasuke. But before they could even take a step, the door opened and revealed (Name).

"What exactly do you think you're doing in the middle of the night ?" she demanded. Even in her half-asleep state, her tone was just as cold and intimidating - well, at least to Naruto and Shion. They looked like children who had been caught stealing candy.

(Name) had dragged her blanket along with her and had it wrapped around her shoulders. It wasn't particularly cold that night so that made Sasuke wonder. She had opened the door wide and was now staring down at them. She hadn't even turned the lights on, so that was probably why nobody saw her coming.

"H-H-How ?" asked Naruto, who was clearly panicking. While making this plan, they hadn't considered what they'd do if they got caught. They had just assumed that their plan would go successfully without (Name) catching them red-handed.

"I heard noises." said (Name). "At first, I thought it was just a cat. But then I was sure I heard human voices."

(Name) then revealed a pan she was hiding under her blanket.

"Go, children, run ! I'll stall her ! Save yourselves !" said Shion and leapt onto (Name) with a battle cry.

"What are you doing ?" asked (Name) as she stumbled down with Shion.

"Your sacrifice won't be in vain !" (Name) heard Naruto say.

Shion straddled (Name) and pressed an elbow against her neck to keep her from getting up. "I'll stop her." she said to Naruto and Sasuke, and then turned to (Name). "Please don't hit me with that pan." she pleaded, while still not getting off her.
