A.N.: so here it is another chapter so as far as the title of the chapters go I've been titling them to set up the next chapter this happened on total accident .But anyway Plz plz plz review or Fugaku Uchiha will eat your soul (anyone else know who is but me I have a feeling no one does tell me if you do)

"Grandma Tunade! This D- rank mission is below me I'm going to be the future Hokage BELIVE IT!"

"Naruto Uzumaki if you ever want to even make it to something higher than a gening you will do this mission!"

"BELIVE IT I'm not going to enjoy this!"

"Whatever! Oh Sasuke, Grace you're here good! This mission is simple all you three have to do is deliver this message to the Hidden sand village!"

The three walk out and started on their journey to the hidden sand village. Grace was carrying the message seeing as how both boys agreed on how she was the most responsible out of the three of them. The conversation that had begun as a simple question of what the message was about quickly spiraled out of control as it usually does.

"So Grace-Chan are you creped out to be on a mission alone with two boys?" The Naruto giggled while Grace blushed and tried to hide the fact that she really wanted to hit Naruto upside the head for that comment. But Sasuke quickly clenched his fist and nailed Naruto straight in the face.

"Shut up dobe Grace doesn't think like that! And the fact that you are worries me!" Sasuke laughed a little bit and picked grace up and swung her over his shoulder. "I'll keep a close eye on you Naruto Uzumaki!" The three Laughed and kept walking.

"Why can't we share Sasuke?"

"I'm an Uchiha I don't share!" he mocked

"Well I on the other hand would like to be put down!"

"Can't do that! A certain blond friend of ours is having thoughts! And they involve you!"

"If you don't put me down Sasuke Uchiha!"

"What? What will you do?"

"I'll… I'll…Well I'll do something and you won't like it!"

"Yea right Grace-Chan you weigh 100 pounds and I know for a fact that would never hurt your friends!"

Grace gave up knowing she had been defeated .Three hours later it started to get dark and the three stopped to rest for the night. Grace and Naruto fell asleep quickly. Grace was usually a light sleeper but tonight she wasn't due to lack of sleep the night before. Last night she had been viscously beat again by her uncle until he passed out and she was able to sneak off to the apartment she shares with Ino. Sasuke looked and his sleeping friend. He realized how much comfort he found in her. Even just the peaceful look she held while sleeping brought him pleasure. He quickly shook this off. "She's my best friend!" he thought. "And besides I doubt she thinks of me the same." He frowned but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't ignore his crush on this girl. He had known her before the massacre and she was the only one he had talked to after. She was the only one that he thought could even begin to understand him. He thought of his own life. Then of Grace's the abuse she had suffered and the feeling of never being wanted he felt like crying but he didn't because it was always thought to him that "Uchihas don't cry!" But he couldn't deny the one thing he had been dying to do all day. Silently he kneeled down next to her, brushed the hair out of her face and gently kissed her on the cheek.
