Hi everyone for some reason I really like the Naruto characters. Except for the fact they're ninjas 'cause I for one don't know much of ninjas and don't want to go into battle scenarios.

If you happen to be reading this,I apologize it's not your typical ninja story. Blame the author...Yes,me.I prefer modern times. haha with some weird twist. And please don't flame me about relations in the characters.

it's a story! make believe. And people FAN of ShikaTema continue on reading it ; cause I swear it gets better like later on :P

Disclaimer:I don't owe any characters in Naruto.

Start reading here now:

As if his nights were bad with hang overs.Waking in the morning is the one thing He desperately tried avoiding after their wild parties with the so called friends.

The phone rang in this huge mansion that deserves a name. They have called it the "Innocent Devil Angel Lair". The phone keeps ringing. In echoes. It seem the mansion has alot of empty spaces.

A blur. A pair of eyes slowly opening. Being greeted by eyes that can be mistaken for rubies. A smile slowly creeping on the beautiful face of the woman before him.

"You have a phone that needs attending to." She simply stated as he tried to fall back into his slumber. He mumbled some words. If he didn't know any better he had fallen asleep on their living room couch,which can always easily be mistaken for a master bed. Since it's huge and very comfortable. No wonder subconciously he had landed on this couch instead of going into his own private chamber to sleep. He finds his own room lonely but the living room is oddly entertaining. Though he greatly doubt the ruby eyed girl would agree with him residing here,at the living room. He moved a little as his eyes were closed. He has a smooth blanket over him. He clutched at it a little and felt it more. He likes the way smooth clean sheet feels especially in the morning,cool. He was closely drifting off to sleep again but he wanted to see the beautiful girl again.

He opened his eyes peeking. The ruby eyed woman eyed him and then suddenly grabbed a blue pillow beside her[sitting on the couch and threw it at him. He frowned behind the pillow that hit his face straight.

"Better hurry,love. I don't think she'll appreciate you being late."

"Kurenai-chan...I don't want to. It's so...what's the word Shikamaru always say...trouble some to work for her. It's trouble some working with women." He said putting the pillow aside him and sitting up.

The smooth white blanket fell down to his waist. Revealing a guy somewhere in his teens with a beautiful skin color. A body that possibly took his whole life to form perfectly into that shape,that would make anyone take seconds looks possibly more. He opened his eyes again. Saphyre blue eyes reveals,blonde hair. He gave a weak smile to the woman with the ruby eyes that have long flowing wavy jet black hair. He gazed at the woman. She wore a tanktop color red and red silky pajamas.

"You need to get a life Kurenai-chan." He recieved a glare. But then again he is the one that clearly needs a get up for his own life to start already. He can't stay forever depending on Kurenai.

"You,Naruto need to stop giving me advice to follow and follow your own advice.Now it's time for breakfast."

"But,I'll always have you to depend on. So I don't need to worry. I'm still young. I mean it's sad I lack parents but doesn't hurt to be born rich and ACTUALLY USE THE MONEY." He clearly made his tone louder on on the last parts. Trying to make a point. Kurenai shrugged.

"Naruto! Your parents died for a reason! And the reason is not to spend their hard earned money!"

"Yes it is. I mean why else would they leave it? Maybe they wanted ME to buy a million billion of ramen!"

"Ramen for breakfast as usual...for exactly fifteen years of your life." Kurenai stood up. Leaving him all alone in the living room that contain a huge plasma tv with all the entertainment studio you need. And the recent game box and games. Dvds. You name it. Any technology meant to entertain. He noted that this living room shouldn't be a living room it should be his own damn room. As soon as he thought of that a quick pound on his head made him frown. His head hurts. Not a good day to start a meeting with trouble some woman. He slowly tried to get himself off the couch. It took him about ten minutes to do so because some how he ends up spacing out. Drifting back to sleep or just thinking of ways to stay on the comphy couch or he likes to call a bed already.

He finally had his feet on the carpet floor that matches the color of his eyes. He stood up. Yawned. Walked into the Dining room. Saw his Kurenai eating already. She looks lonely.

"I don't feel like eating anymore. Ever thought of getting yourself married?" He sat himself down on her opposite.

"Ever thought mind your own life?" She stopped eating and glared at Naruto.

"My life dwells within you. You give meaning to my life. And I don't want to leave this world without knowing you'll be safe with a man that loves you." He gave him the innocent smile with the adorable eyes. But in his mind it was all

'Disgusting. But it would buy me time to relax more if she's occupied with a boyfriend.'

"Save it for the camera,Naru."

"Nah,cameras were always for my parents. I decided to lay low remember? No acting career.Or any career, I have enough with fan girls and people trying to get into your business. It's okay if it was me doing the meddling."

"Reason why they're dead ain't it? They die with fame. Anyways how are you and Sasuke doing as best friends?" She gently took the ramen and pushed in closer to him and handed him the chopstick.

He gladly took it. Though he pretended like he had never said he didn't felt like eating. He has a huge appetite especially when it's ramen on the table.

"The guy is a nutcase! Totally a player. I mean sometimes I swear I think he is a girl but trap in a guys body cause you know how you girls get mood swings especially when you have your special days."

Naruto made a hand gesture when he said the special days as if quoting which only made Kurenai laugh.

"You say he's a player? A womanizer?" Kurenai shot up with curiousity eyeing Naruto. She dislike players. If Naruto starts acting like one she'll kick his ass till he damn know respect for women.

"Ehh...No? I don't know. I wish. The guy dumps every girl that ask him out you know. And this totally hot chick like loves him and all and I like her but she totally blows me off when he's around. Insults me. But hey it's how the basic foundation of love begins. Or so I think."

He quickly finishes his ramen. He enjoys talking to Kurenai. A guardian that took care of him. Though he treated her more of a sister.

"Oh! I almost forgot Naruto the phone call. It was Shikamaru. He said great party and sucks you got yourself drunk because you've miss a hella great party."

He choked. As far as his Kurenai know he was suppose to be studying for his exams. No party. Definetly no drinking alcohol.

"Err...I could explain. Some how..."

"Argh! Naruto! This is why you and Shikamaru get such low grades in exams! I do not work my ass off for you to throw away money and not take school seriously!" Here comes the argument. He felt guilty.

"Ah right. How's your job at the whatever secret service police csi or fbi thing going along?"

"Don't change the subject." She said coldly. They met eye to eye. Some how Naruto was always scared of his Kurenai's ruby eyes. He hope his ocean like eyes would melt the fire that burns because she's angry.

"We studied. Shikamaru couldn't afford getting his mother angry. You know how the mom is. But c'mon the party? I only had a drink. A bottle with 5 alcohol and I already felt sick so yeah. Call me pathetic!"

"Fine. I believe in you. You should hurry now. You have a date to attend to." She smiled at him hoping he wouldn't complain about it.

"Sis..I mean Kurenai."

"Yeah?"

"Why am I the one in an arrange marriage and you're not?"

"I bloody hell threatened to kill the man if he tried to even go close as hell as a foot to me.Beside I'm not part of your family remember? I'm someone who watches over you." Kurenai said with such deadpan expression that Naruto could have swear he felt a chill down go through his spine.

"Scary. The girl I'm meeting might do that as well. I wish my parents never arrange this marriage. But you know I have to get married, to respect their wishes."

"Exactly that is why you my Naruto are doing it for them. I am far not into arrange marriage. I have to keep my identity a secret. As far as people know I'm your guardian."

Naruto sighed. Kurenai was his guardian. He didn't felt like she was. It was more like she became close to a sister though she does act like a body guard at times. Which he finds weird 'cause who exactly is he being protected from?

"So..How's grandpa doing?" Was all he could afford to say because he doesn't want to argue about this damn situation he has been put onto since birth.

"How is his disgusting novel going along you mean? Do you happen to want a copy?" Kurenai answered his question of "Did he publish his new book aready?"

He gulped. Sweat drops. He so doesn't want to be like his Grandfather. To him those book are not even entertaining.

"But people who read them avoids conflict with love. They don't easily fall in love. And no I don't want to have a copy of it. It's lame,boring. Ah I think I should get ready for my date." Naruto said getting up and exiting the dining room heading towards the bathroom that has a huge bathtub and a shower. Everything you need for the great relaxing bathroom. Neatly on the table with mirror that hangs above the faucet. The bathroom smells like cherry. He quickly puts the blame on Kurenai. He approach the showering area and turn on the hot water mixing it with the cold water. [You get the idea

Back to Kurenai

Kurenai was now deep in thoughts while she had finally let her self go back into her own room. Laying on her huge master bed. She sighed slowly.

Being in those business. She's practically a woman who gets paid alot killing other people. So is she a criminal? Not exactly since all the people she killed would end up in death penalty.

Naruto was her life long assignment too except not to kill but protect.

She has this new assignment to assasinate someone. A guy from the looks of it. Who happens to love the work of her grandfather Jiraiya. The Icha Icha books. She frowned. Her boss clearly depended and

expect too much from her. How is she suppose to kill this person when she was never given the knowledge of his name and face? Maybe if she ask one of his work buddy she might find more clues.

She grabs her cell that was beside her and punched in the numbers. It rings from the other side.

"Hello?" Said a deep voice who seems out of breath.

"Hey Asuma-It's ahm.." She listened in more. There was a soft voice and Asuma saying to be quiet.

"What is it Kurenai?" Finally getting his breath back. Kurenai bit her lower lips before she spoke.

"Are you with a woman Asuma?" Was all she could say. She wish she didn't say it. She had taken a liking to this man.

"Not really. I was working out Kurenai. And Anko don't know how to shut up."

"Hey Hey Kurenai! Come over Asuma's house lets party while he works out. He looks funny you know!" She heard Anko's voice. Her best friend. She smiled.

"Yeah well Asuma I wanted to know more information with this guy for my job. I don't know a single thing about him." Kurenai said trying to move on.

"Oh! Yes. Boss said to tell you about it. His name is Kakashi Hatake. Just search for him. It's easy to track him down. Though it's very weird how they say easy yet they never succeeded on capturing him."

"I see. Well thank you Asuma." Kurenai was about to hang up when Asuma hurriedly ask her.

"Kurenai, how about you come over my house later on? I'll cook dinner for you." He said it so sweetly. Kurenai was blushing but she doubted anyone could see it.

"Sure,I would love to." With that she hanged up.

She would have day dream after that phone call but seeing a guy in front of his doors with blonde wet hair a towel wrapped around his waist staring at him.

"This is interesting. You're gonna date Asuma?" He gave a mischief smile that probably would lead to crazy imaginations.

"Ah. It's just a dinner at his house...not such a big deal to make." Naruto eyes grew more at the mention 'his house'

"No way in hell am I to allow my sister into another man's house without any adult supervision!" Naruto blurted out. Kurenai started laughing.

"We're both adults for pete sake Naruto! And I'm not your sister" She got up and handed him his clothes that she already prepared way earlier knowing Naruto too well.

Naruto eyed the clothes and was pleased with it. Kurenai has some practical good taste.

"Pssh. No way. Either I'm coming with you or no date!" He grabbed the phone from her hand and dialed exactly Asuma's number.

"Hello Kurenai?" Asuma's voice again. Naruto made a face at his sister.

"No. It's Naruto. Sorry I have to cancel your date with my beautiful sexy sister. Because I can't find an adult to supervise you two. Maybe some other time when I can attend this date."

"Ahh What? Naruto you're like only twelve Naruto mind your own business. She's not your sister" Naruto hated that. His age is mistaken again. And people need to stop correcting him of the sister part!

"Damn you I'm fifteen. She's my sister and it surely ain't your business either!" With that Naruto hanged up and glared at Kurenai who doesn't know what to say.

Kurenai wanted to yell at Naruto but for some reason found herself quiet since Naruto seem pissed at the moment.

Naruto gave a serious look. He was worrying for her. She could tell.

"Naruto...I love you"

"I love you too,Sis"

With that Naruto exited her room with his clothes with him.

She loves her so called brother even though they aren't related in any ways. She knows he only acted that way 'cause he was worried for her. Possibly Naruto is too attach to her that he doesn't want any guy having her yet.

"How cute" was all she could say.
