The Promise you broke

Chapter One: Welcome back to Konoha

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Author's Notes:

WELCOME TO THE SEQUEL OF MBMAML!!! THANKS TO ALL THE REVIEWERS FROM THE LAST STORY!! YOSH!! LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!! Also, if you haven't read 'Must Befriend Must Avenge Must Love', I suggest you do.

Jiraiya's Point Of View

"Bye, bye, Jiraiya-sama!!" A girl squealed.

I came back home from my 'researching'.

Manami and Naruto were lying on the beds in the hotel room.

I quickly got changed and crawled into the bed.

I still couldn't sleep, due to the fact that I was still 'excited' from all the girls.

We all had single beds.

My bed was closest to the door; Naruto's was in the middle and Manami's was closest to the window, which was wide open.

I sighed and closed my eyes, trying to sleep.

I was just reaching dreamland until I heard a small 'creak'.

I opened my eyes just a little bit and found Sasuke silently staring at Manami's sleeping figure.

Sasuke's here? How'd he know where we were? And the look on his face when he sees Manami… it shows regret, I thought.

Sasuke seemed to be brooding and then he slowly leaned over to Manami.

His lips were just a few centimeters away from hers until Manami stirred and looked as if she were going to wake up.

Sasuke's eyes widened and he quickly vanished.

Manami's eyes shot open and she sat up, breathing quite heavily.

"Bad dream?" I asked.

She looked at me, "Yeah…"

"What was it about?" I asked once more.

She studied me for a moment, as if she were thinking, Should I trust him?

Oh, please. I've been looking after her for the last two years. Do you think that she would be able to trust me?

"Sasuke and I were in my dream. He looked so grown-up. For sure… he wouldn't have room for me in his heart," Manami began, hugging her knees to her chest.

"He was getting closer to me, but I wasn't stopping him. He leant over and was just about to kiss me until… I woke up," She said, "But it felt so real,"

I smirked. You have no idea how real that dream was, Manami, I thought.

Manami's Point Of View

As I walked down the path towards the Konoha gates, I wondered how everyone was.

I had the necklace Sasuke gave me, dangling on my neck, and the other necklace that Gaara and I share. I have the white one and he has the red, and of course, I still wasn't able to smile.

Even if there was a moment where I wanted to smile, Sasuke appears in my mind.

Sasuke left me.

He left me just so that he could get power.

Jiraiya and Naruto were always mucking around, but honestly, Naruto had grown.

And so had I.

We past the gates and Naruto grabbed my hand and began running around Konoha, dragging me behind.

I wouldn't blame him though; we hadn't been in Konoha for two and a half years.

He reached this pole and began running up, reaching the very top.

He grinned as he saw Tsunade's face on the rock mountain.

I leaned against the pole and said, "Naruto-kun, you better get down there… what if you fall and get hurt? Who's going to help me win my battles?"

Naruto smirked and came down. He came down so fast that my dress rustled with the wind.

My halter dress was black, it stopped at my mid-thigh, but I was wearing black shorts underneath, to prevent any stupid perverts lurking around looking up my skirt. I had black fingerless gloves that reached above my elbows. Also accompanying my dress, were my black knee-high socks and my black combat boots. I've also changed my hairstyle and weapon. My hair is now tied up high with a black ribbon and I have two swords that I carry on my back. Compared to the bow, the two swords just shoot out whatever I told them to. Mostly fire.

That's a lot of black for one girl.

I've also solved my rain problem. I've fixed up my chakra a bit to make sure that as long as there's heat around, I'll be okay with rain.

"Naruto! Manami!" A familiar voice called.

Naruto turned around

"Sakura-chan!!" cried Naruto.

I turned to see a girl with pink hair. It was kinda hard not to recognize her. She was also with Konohamaru, Moegi and Udon.

"Hey, Sakura. You've grown," I said, crossing my arms.

She smiled, "So have you, Manami."

Sakura turned to Naruto, "Wow, you've grown a lot as well, Naruto! Do you think I've grown?"

Naruto grinned and said, "Don't worry, Sakura! You haven't changed a bit!!"

I slapped my forehead.

"Baka Naruto…" I muttered.

Then Sakura got really mad.

"Boss, Boss!! I made my own perverted jutsu!" Konohamaru grinned.

Konohamaru did a hand sign and turned into a girl with brown hair, and big breasts.

Jiraiya had a slight nosebleed.

I rolled my eyes as Naruto said, "Konohamaru, you shouldn't do things like that… I'm not a kid anymore,"

"Here we go," I murmured.

Naruto balled his hand into a fist and screamed, "FEAR MY ALL-NEW PERVERTED JUTSU!! HERE WE GO!!!"

Sakura punched him in the face before he could do anything.

She was really mad.

Naruto tripped and fell into the ground… and I mean literally into the ground; his face was buried.

Sakura grabbed his leg, making Naruto upside-down and she screamed, "BAKA NARUTO!! TWO YEARS OUT OF KONOHA AND YOU HAVEN'T MATURED ONE BIT!!!"

People were staring now.

Also, they seemed to be slightly scared.

But I wasn't.

I had that type of strength two years ago.

I walked to Sakura and put my hand on her shoulder.

"Yamete (Stop) Sakura, where's Kakashi-sensei?" I asked.

She turned to me, back to being serious.

"Honestly, I wouldn't know… I haven't seen him in a while," She replied, still holding onto Naruto's leg.

"Manami, you have to go to the Hokage's office," Jiraiya said.

I nodded, did a hand sign and teleported away.

I appeared in the office, surprising Tsunade.

Naruto, Sakura and Jiraiya ran in the office soon after me.

"Manami! You're back!!" Tsunade smiled.

"Yeah. Hi. Where's Kakashi?" I asked.

As if on timing, a big 'poof' was heard outside and a famliliar voice said, "Yo!"

I leaned out of the window to find Kakashi reading one of his perverted books and sitting on the roof.

"Kakashi-sensei, long time, no see," I said.

Kakashi turned to me and his eye widened.

"Manami! Oh my god, you've grown!" Kakashi said.

"Uhm… thanks," I jumped out of the window and sat in front of him, "Do I get an ANBU uniform?"

Kakashi blushed slightly for some odd reason.

"Kakashi-sensei, you okay?" I asked.

"You've grown more beautiful than I've expected," He whispered.

I rolled my eyes. "Trust me, you're not the first person who's said that," I mumbled.

"Fanboys trailing you while you were training?" He asked.

"Yeah," I said.

"What's this I hear about the ANBU?" Sakura and Naruto asked at the same time.

I turned to them, "Oh, I forgot to tell you… I joined the ANBU BlackOps."

"YOU JOINED THE ANBU!?!? WHOA!!" Sakura screamed in excitement.

I nodded, "Hn,"

"I have the uniform, but I don't think it's really your style…" Kakashi said.

"I've seen the uniform… it's true that it's not my style, but I'll fix it up a bit," I said.

-x-x-x-x-

I slowly opened the door to my manor, saying, "Neji-nii, I'm back,"

"Manami?!?" I heard my brother scream.

He ran down the stairs and found me standing at the doorway.

"Manami! It's really you!!" He cried, giving me a bear hug.

"It's nice to see you too, nii-san," I said, awkwardly patting his back.

He let go and said, "I've been so worried about you, you didn't get hurt did you? I promise you, I will kill Sasuke,"

I shrugged him off and said, "You're acting more of a father than a brother."

He smirked. "Well, it's my job, isn't it? To protect you?"

I rolled my eyes and went to my room, where I lay the ANBU uniform on my bed.

I sighed.

It's obviously not my style to wear things like this…

I began sorting it out… and I kind of made my own uniform.

I wore my arm guards, kept my mask on the top right of my head and I made my own cape, it was black of course, and it reached the tops of my ankles, and I kept my black dress.

I came out of my room and Neji's jaw dropped open.

"Y-You're part of the ANBU?!?!" He yelled.

I nodded.

"Since when?!" He asked.

"Two and a half years ago," I said.

"You joined at thirteen?! WHAT?! YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!?" He yelled accusingly.

"I joined before I left Konoha. Now, stop asking such stupid questions," I muttered.

Just then, a person began banging loudly screaming, "MANAMI-CHANN!! HURRY UP!! TSUNADE SAID SAKURA, YOU AND ME ARE GONNA BATTLE WITH SOMEONE!!"

I opened the door to reveal a wide-eyed Naruto.

"Whoa… Manami-chan… you look amazing…" He mumbled.

"You shouldn't be eyeing me… besides aren't you with Hinata?" I asked, closing the door and stepping outside.

"Hinata!! Where is she? I was looking for her, but I couldn't find her!!" He cried.

I shrugged and said, "C'mon. Let's go to the office before our opponent gets away,"

He nodded, grinned and ran off with me.

-x-x-x-x-

"So… Who will we be fighting??" asked Naruto eagerly.

Sakura and I were in front of Tsunade's desk and Naruto was face to face with her, trying to get his answer.

Just then, Shikamaru and Temari entered the room.

I turned around and my eyes widened.

"Temari…? Shikamaru…?" I whispered.

Naruto turned and grinned. "YO, SHIKAMARU AND…"

He eyed Temari and said, "Who are you again?"

Temari frowned and said, "I'm TEMARI, baka!!"

"Ohh… right… Temari… Etou… How do I know you?" He asked.

I rolled my eyes as Temari explained what happened in the exams two years ago.

Shikamaru looked at me and his eyes went wide.

"M-Manami?!" He said.

"Took you long enough, Shika-kun," I mumbled.

"You've grown," He smirked.

"You have too, but please, don't eye me. You with Temari, am I right?" I asked.

He blushed.

"Why yes… Yes, I am with Temari," He said.

"OHH IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!!" Naruto cried, finally understanding when he met Temari.

"Naruto, you've grown!" Shikamaru said.

Naruto basked in his own glory. "Why, yes! I have grown. I'm glad you've notic--"

"NO! HE HASN'T GROWN AT ALL!!" Sakura interrupted.

"You'll be fighting your sensei," Tsunade cut in.

"WHO? ERO-SENNIN?!" Naruto yelled, turning to Tsunade.

"No, idiot. It's Kakashi." Sakura slapped her forehead.

Kakashi appeared at the window, his right hand holding up a peace sign and his left hand holding the new release of Jiraiya's series.

"Yo! Wow Manami, nice uniform you made," He smiled.

I nodded. "Hn."

"You'll fight him tomorrow afternoon." Tsunade said.

"Meet me at the place where we did the survival exercise before." Kakashi said.

"You mean when we did the bell training?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah. See ya!" Kakashi said teleporting away again.

"He's probably gone to read his new perverted book," I muttered.

"Yosh (Alright)! Let's go to that new restaurant I heard that opened up in Konoha!" Naruto said.

He grabbed my hand again and dragged me to this new restaurant, with Sakura, Temari and Shikamaru following.

He opened the door and we all took seats at a table.

I looked down at my menu and Sakura whispered to me, "Manami, don't you notice it?"

I asked her, "Notice what?"

"Every boy is eyeing you. Dang girl, you truly have grown!" Sakura grinned.

I looked around the room and nearly every boy was blushing at the sight of me.

I rolled my eyes as one guy walked over to my table, trying to hit on me.

"Hey there, I'm Yamari Akio. What's your name?" He smirked, eyeing me.

God, he was worse than the perverted hermit, otherwise known as Jiraiya.

"Go away," I said, not taking my eyes off the menu.

"Aw c'mon babe! You can have just a little fun with me!" Akio yelled making the whole restaurant pay attention to me and him.

"I said go away." I repeated, still not making eye contact.

The whole restaurant was silent, watching our every moves.

"I know what you're doing," He smirked. "You're playing hard to get. Well, you don't have to do that babe, because I'm all yours."

He was leaning in closer, trying to give me a kiss, but everyone gasped.

In the blink of an eye, I held him by the neck and pushed him against the wall, lifting him off the ground. I was slowly choking him.

I was so quick that a bit of wind rustled through my hair.

"Don't you ever touch me. I hate bastards like you who think they're so hot. You better think wisely later on, or else your future looks pretty fucking bleak." I sneered, venom dripping from my voice.

I saw endless fear in his eyes, so I let him go and said, "I'm leaving."

With that, I stormed out of the restaurant.

"What idiots' fanboys can be…. Ugh… I hate it when they just throw themselves at you…" I muttered, sitting at the bench in from of the lake.

I was angry and frustrated, using my colorful language about fanboys.

"I hate them so much!!!" I yelled.

"I hate them too Manami," A familiar voice said.

"That voice…" I whispered. "I haven't heard that voice for two years… No... It couldn't be him…"

I stood up and turned around to find a figure leaning against a tree.

"I've missed you, Manami," He said solemnly.

"Sasuke…"
