Jake: Shut the hell up and get on with the damn story.

Anna:*serious face* Patience is virtue, young grasshopper.

Jake: Oh for the love of... Anna doesn't own Naruto or any sanity for that the story!

Lurking In the Shadows

After breakfast, all the teenagers decided to go to mall. They walked since it was only a few blocks from Shiori's house. Besides, the day was bright and sunny, perfect for walking.

"Ah, I love being out in the sun!" Naruto said, tilting his head back and trying to asorb as much sun as possible. The blonde's already blonde hair glinted like pure gold while cerulean eyes burned richer than the sky. The effect made the boy look like an angel, turning more than a few heads on the street. Hikaru's mouth dropped slowly as he stared in awe. 'Damn, he's hot.' he thought.

Shiori giggled, hearing his thoughts. "Hey Hika, ya might wanna close your mouth considering we just got a flood warning." she said, referring to the obscene amounts of drool pouring from the boy's mouth.

"Shut the fuck up." he growled, wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth and causing the girl to laugh again.

"Oh come on, you know you want him. And he wants you too." she replied. He gave her a disbelieving look.

"Uh-huh." he said skeptically, raising an eyebrow.

"Dude, trust me. He totally wants you. Sasuke might as well." she responded, smiling brightly. Right then, the latter commanded their attention.

"Hey slowpokes, hurry up! You're lagging behind! Stop making out and catch up already." the Uchiha called, a slight smirk on his face. A tickmark appeared on both their heads.

"Shut the hell up Uchiha! We weren't making out and you know, ya bastard!" Hikaru retorted, glaring at the boy.

"If that had been the situation, and that would NEVER happen, you'd be pissed because it wouldn't be making out with him yourself, ya damn emo." Shiori replied, smirking when she noticed the genius' eyebrow twitch.

"Urusai, baka! Just hurry the fuck up!" said the annoyed teen. The girl's smirk widened.

"You're only annoyed because I hit the nail on the head, Sas." she replied. Obsidian eyes narrowed in irritation.

"Fuck you!" he said.

"Gladly." she responded, grinning at the expression of shock on his face.

"Joking dude, joking. Can't ya take a joke?" she asked, laughing merrily.

"Yeah, 'cause we all know who you want to fuck, right?" Hikaru interjected, receiving a glare from his friend. Sasuke smirked.

"That's right. You love Kiba. Isn't that right, imouto?" he said mockingly.

"Ya know what? Why don't you two just go screw yourselves, alright?" she retorted, ready to beat the living daylights outta of her "brothers".

"You're only angry because-" they started before Shiori interrupted.

"I challenge you guys to a race!" she said, running off ahead of them.

"Cheater." they responded in unison before rushing after her.
