Hello there! Again I'm updating as fast as I can, anyway here's chapter 3, the man hunt is still on, and I know this should be the last of it until the 'mystery man' should be revealed in this chap

Enjoy!

Chapter 3 No way!

Moriko, Naruto, and Sakura had ran around the village, asking every available man in the Leaf Village if they were going to be with Rui Hiroki but most of them either joked about it or said no.

Moriko was pacing back and forth; near Naruto's leg while she tried to figure out the next 'man' she could think. "Hey, Naruto, who else is single?" asked Moriko as she looked up at him.

Naruto was going through his memory and tried to remember who else was single, he still kept the thought that Kakashi, and Iruka were still available, and then he thought about random people even his own peers back at the academy.

"You're sure taking forever. I hope you're not thinking about your old peers," said Moriko.

"A bit, hey, I know Jiraiya!" said Naruto as Sakura and Moriko gave a disgusted expression.

"ARE YOU MAD? Naruto!" screamed Sakura.

"Oh sorry, I forgot about that," said Naruto as he scratched behind his head and was embarrassed.

"Jiraiya isn't old, is he?" asked Moriko innocently. "I've been with him and he doesn't look old to me" Sakura sighed.

Then Sakura bent down to Moriko. "Moriko, just to let you know, Jiraiya is old, okay? Maybe he doesn't look old to you, but in reality he's old."

"I thought love doesn't have any limits?" said Naruto.

"…" Moriko was clueless.

"Yes, it does have its limits!" said Sakura.

"Let's stop bickering. I remember one person isn't old and isn't too old for Rui!" said Moriko.

"Who is that, by the way?" asked Sakura and Naruto in unison.

"IBIKI!" Naruto and Sakura stood there shocked and their mouths opened.

"WHAT?" Sakura said. "Are you crazy, Moriko?"

"Yup, and Ibiki isn't too old, he just look like it, like Jiraiya he looks old but he isn't old," said Moriko with her arms crossed.

"He 'is' old. Jiraiya is in his fifties," said Sakura.

"Ibiki… Isn't he that guy from the Chunin Exam three years ago?" said Naruto as he rubbed his chin.

"Yeah and I know where he is," said Moriko.

Ibiki Morino was outside, most probably off from work or heading toward his work. He was walking in the streets of Konoha. He had his hands in his black trench coat pockets.

Moriko came in front of him and screamed, "Kiki!" Ibiki looked down at the fox pup and she gave a big grin at him.

"Yes, do you need something?" he asked, confusedly but firm at the same.

"Yes, Kiki, I have a question, Mr. Kiki," said Moriko.

Naruto and Sakura came up where Ibiki stood next to them. He didn't say anything but just looked at the two teens.

"Are you gonna get hitched?" asked Moriko.

"…" Ibiki stood silent.

"She means are you going to get married?" said Naruto. "Well, are ya?"

"No," he replied. "Where did you get that crazy idea?"

"I don't know, I thought you like Rui Hiroki," said Moriko. "Do you?"

"I don't think you should ask questions to men, if someone is marrying Rui Hiroki, it's not nice," said Ibiki.

"You're a mean man sometimes and today you were mean to me," said Moriko. "Do you know who am I?"

"No, now run along little fox," said Ibiki. "Don't come back and ask the same question to me again, now excuse me, I have to go." He left.

"Wow, he sure was mean," said Naruto.

"Wow, my innocence didn't hit him not even once," said Moriko. "I think I'm loosing my beauty every time I ask a man a question and the worse part, I'm just a pup. How can this be happening to me?"

"Alright, Moriko, let's give it a break okay, we should listen to Iruka. We shouldn't be asking if we don't know the complete truth and shouldn't be chasing a rumor or something like that," said Sakura.

"Fine, then I will just go to the source of the roots," said Moriko as she ran off.

Naruto and Sakura looked at one another. "We should follow her," said Naruto.

Moriko finally found Rui's uncle; he was near a coffee shop where he stood talking to someone. The coffee shop was bright cream color, with flowers at the windows, and a door with glass squares, and cursive words saying the shop's name. Moriko was trying to spy on him of what he was saying.

Moriko stood there, shocked. She was staring at this other person, Moriko thought, it's Yamato? NO WAY! Moriko felt dizzy and wanted to know what was Akimitsu was saying but she felt herself go deaf. Moriko fell onto the floor passing out apparently because she drank too much chocolate milk this morning.

Naruto and Sakura found Moriko on the floor with her tongue sticking out. Naruto picked Moriko up and shook her.

"What's wrong, Moriko?" asked Naruto with a worried tone and expression on his face. Moriko twitched and moved a little but didn't respond to anything.

Sakura stared at them and tried not to appear she was spying on them, while Naruto tried to wake Moriko.

"Naruto, what's wrong with Moriko? Mr. Hiroki is just talking to Captain Yamato," said Sakura.

"Hey, you suck trying to wake someone up!" said Moriko as she quickly got up then she jumped out of Naruto's arms. "Its obvious, look!" as Akimitsu left and Yamato went opposite direction. "He set her up with that freak, Yams!"

"No way!" said Sakura and Naruto at the same time.

Well there you have it, Moriko is trying to say Yamato is the man, but is he? Don't believe her; Yamato was just talking to Akimitsu, nothing important really, just find out in the next chapter.

I have some other characters going to appear soon, my own characters, there are two more guys who are in love with Rui Hiroko, but you will have to find out next time.
