AN: sorry for waiting so long to update.

' ' is thoughts is kyuubi's thoughts and shall be revealed later but for now will be called inner Sasuke ( ) re my notes

"Now since Naruto is back in her true form citizens of kohona might try to hurt her." Tsusande said leaning back in her chair. "And this concerns me how?" Sasuke asked raising an eyebrow.

"You are the only one that the villagers won't try anything to hurt Naruto in fear of hurting you. Hence, Naruto and Riku are to stay with you." Tsusande responded sighing. "And why should I allow them to stay with me? If they are as strong as they seem then they should be able to protect themselves." Sasuke demanded crossing his arms over his chest.

"Listen you little…" Tsusande started but was interrupted by Riku suggesting "How about if Naruto-sama and I both agree to help you with what ever you may need help with?"

"What could either of you possibly know that would be helpful to me?" Sasuke demanded glaring at the brown haired man. 'There's nothing that either of them could help me with.' He thought glancing from the brunette to the sleeping blond, 'Naruto could help me restore my clan.' He thought before mentally slapping himself. Oh come on you know you want her. a voice responded full of smugness.

'Who the hell are you?' Sasuke demanded I'm you, only at the same time not you.the voice responded cheerfully, he could feel his eye twitching as he responded 'That made no sense.' Shortly after he couldn't help but notice Tsusande and riku where watching him with interest. "What?" he snapped glaring at them.

"Nothing, nothing at all." Tsusande responded before she broke down into a fit of laughter, 'Damn old hag, how dare she laugh at me.' He thought narrowing his eyes further at the laughing female in front of him and the chucking male beside him. "I fail to see what is so funny." He growled turning his gaze to the kitsune beside him, who had finally calmed down from his laughter.

"Forgive me for laughing. Anyways may Naruto-sama and I stay with you?" he asked smiling a gentle simile, 'Well he might be useful and Naruto is the only one I can properly train with.' He thought shifting his gaze to the slumbering blond who was shifted by riku pulling her closer against him, in an attempt to hold her in a more comfortable position.

Somehow I don't think that training is the only thing she can properly do for you. the voice teased. 'Don't you ever go away?' Sasuke demanded blushing slightly when he caught himself looking at his sleeping teammate.Why would I want to leave you alone? This female obviously has caught your attention and you have a chance to let her live under the same roof as you and what do you do? You refuse, what kind of baka does that?the voice growled out annoyance evident. 'Who asked you?' Sasuke snapped. He was to busy arguing with himself to notice that Tsusande and Riku had given each other knowing looks. (Seems they know something doesn't it? Hehe)

"Uchiha if you don't want to accept them as quests then I'm going to have to order you to as a mission." Tsusande said snapping Sasuke out of his argument. "Hn." Sasuke grunted, "Since we are imposing at least let us do some chores. I can help you with your training and Naruto-sama can teach you some fire techniques." Riku suggested. "Whatever." Sasuke said standing up and moved to exit the office (or whatever it's called), "You coming or not?" he asked opening the door, not bother waiting for an answer he left.

"Hokage-sama." Riku said bowing his head before moving to follow the raven haired teenager. As he followed Sasuke to his house riku wondered 'How many of Naruto-sama's friends are her real friends?'
