Sasuke pulled Natsumi up the stairs, Naruto struggled and struggled.

" No! Not to Grandma Tsu-" Naruto cried but stopped himself. ' Uh oh...' Naruto thought when all eyes were on him.

" Did she just-?" Shikamaru replied. Choji nodded,

" Yeah, she did."

" She called the 5th Hokage, 'Grandma'." Kiba cried.

" Who do we know calls the 5th Hokage, 'Grandma'?" Neji stated, all eyes leered at the kunoichi.

" Um... Naruto?" Natsumi guessed.

" How did you know that?!" Lee cried, pointing an accusing finger at the kunoichi. Natsumi stomped her feet,

" Like I said! I'm Naruto's sister!!"

" Well, we don't believe it and that's why we're taking you to see the Hokage herself and look through some birth certificates." Sasuke replied, gripping her hand again and began making their way to the top.

' B-Birth Certificates?!' Naruto thought in horror.

" You don't have to! I mean, isn't me saying that I'm Naruto's sister enough?" Natsumi cried.

" NO!" everybody cried. Naruto inwardly groan. He was in for a waking.

" Ooohhh... Naruto is so lucky! He's holding hands with Sasuke!" Ino growled, peeking through the bushes. Still videocamming next to the blond, Tenten replied,

" Quiet, Ino! Or you'll give away our position!" Tenten hissed.

" Still!" Ino grumbled under her breath and crossed her arms across her chest.

" This is no time to get jealous. You said it yourself this morning, that you wanted to see Naruto and Sasuke kiss. So what's a little link between hands harmful, compare to what's going to happen later on?" Temari reminded her.

" Still..." Ino pestered and then sighed looked at the boys who were now halfway up the tower.

' N-Naruto-kun...' Hinata thought fiddling with her fingers.

Sasuke, Natsumi and the boys arrived in front of the 5th Hokage's door. Naruto was terribly frightened about being found out. Sasuke pushed open the door to see the Hokage fast asleep, her head on a pile of papers that had yet been stamped and signed.

" Lady Hokage?" Sasuke replied. No answer. " Lady Hokage?" Sasuke tried again, no answer. He had just about enough of the silence and decide to wake her up, his style. " Fire style --" He was cut off when Shikamaru and Kiba latched themself on the Uchiha, preventing his attack.

" Just what are you doing, Uchiha?" Neji stated. Sasuke growled and shrugged the two shinobi's off of him and then took ahold of Natsumi's hand again.

" Waking the Hokage up. What does it look like?"

" That's not how you wake someone up, Uchiha." Lee replied. Naruto once again flinched at the touch of the Uchiha. He tried to jerk his hand away, but it was impossible.

" U-Um.." Natsumi cried, catching the Uchiha. He turned to look at her.

" What is it?" Sasuke asked.

" Would you let go of my hand?" Natsumi cried. Sasuke smirked and yanked her closer to him.

" Not likely. I wouldn't want you to run away from me." Sasuke whispered showing her his trademark smirk. Naruto could only blush at the closeness of the Uchiha's face. He had never gotten this close,

' His face is so kawaii... Arrgh! What am I thinking?! This is the teme here! A-And I'm straight for kami's sake! Right?' Naruto thought when his face grew very hot.

" Man, am I glad that I put a camera in the Hokage's room!" Temari gloated. The girls huddled around the laptop where the scene from the Hokage's office was displayed.

" Look how cute, Naruto is acting!" Tenten replied stifling a giggle.

" B-But he's holding Sasuke's hand!!" Ino cried in horror.

" Maybe he likes it, then again, the Uchiha might like it too. I mean.. you know..." Temari replied hinting to the other blond who wanted to tear her hair out at the sight of them together.

" No! He should've known that Naruto was a guy and not a girl! Argh, Sasuke..." Ino cried. Hinata put a comforting hand on the blond's back.

" Quiet! Can't a girl watch?" Temari complained.

" Sorry." Ino grounded out.

" Okay, stop getting attach to her, Uchiha. Remember... she might be a spy. Or worse yet, Naruto." Choji replied. Sasuke made a face of disgust knowing that it might be Naruto and withdrew to arms length and let go of her hand.

' Just what's wrong with Natsumi being me?' Naruto burned with anger, glaring at Choji.

" How do we wake up the Hokage?" Shino replied.

" Simple. LADY HOKAGE!!!!!!" Kiba cried and the Hokage herself, woke up. Grumbling and eyes, shot glared at the boys before her.

" What do you want?" Tsunade growled.

" We want to know if a Natsumi Uzumaki is a real person or not." Kiba replied. Staring at them, Tsunade replied,

" What kind of question is that? Did you wake me up for that? Hell, she's right there, is she not?" Tsunade replied. Naruto was wondering how the news of 'Natsumi Uzumaki' traveled so fast.

' Sakura and them must've told Grandma Tsunade about me and my situation.' Naruto thought. ' I guess, she took it well?' Naruto wondered after a while.

The boys all looked flabbergasted. " You mean Natsumi Uzumaki is for real?" Sasuke cried. The Hokage looked bored, with one hand propping her head up.

" Yes. As you can see she's alive and breathing. Unless she's someone else." Tsunade replied.

" T-Then can you tell us who she is related to?" Lee cried. Tsunade sighed exasperately.

" It's like her last name. Who do we know that has the last name as hers?" Tsunade hinted. Everyone was as shocked as the first time they heard that Natsumi was Naruto's sister.

" Naruto?" Choji almost choked on his bag of chips. Tsunade nodded.

" If you're done, then you can leave. I got work to do." The others just bowed and left, when Tsunade replied,

" I'd like to talk to Natsumi if you don't mind." Natsumi gulped and stayed behind, the boys all left. When the door was closed and the pattering of feet had disappeared, what Natsumi knew as the 5th Hokage was no more. She changed into the pink haired kunoichi known as Sakura.

" S-Sakura-chan!" Natsumi or Naruto cried.

" You better owe me for saving your butt, Natsumi." Sakura replied, using his alias instead of his real name in case anyone else was hearing their conversation.

" Sorry." Natsumi replied. " I tried my best really, but they didn't believe that I was Naruto's sister. T-They had me cornered!" Natsumi cried.

" I know. Now let's go before Lady Tsunade and Shizune appears!" Natsumi and Sakura both disappeared from the office in a blink of an eye.

' I can't believe what Natsumi said was true all along.' Sasuke thought. ' I guess I have to go and apologize to her.' Sasuke thought walking over to Naruto's apartment. He knocked on the door, no answer.

" What are you doing here?" a voice replied. He turned to his left to see the person he was looking for.

" Natsumi. I have something to tell you." Sasuke replied. Natsumi thought that all the things about her being Naruto's sister was patched up.

" If you're still not convinced that I am indeed Naruto's sister, then..." Natsumi replied, but Sasuke held his hand up to silence her.

" No. It's not that. I came here to... to... apologize." Sasuke confessed. Naruto was shocked indeed and he stood there as Sasuke's face contorted in confusion.

" Apologize? What for?" Natsumi replied.

" For... not believing you." Sasuke said, his head to the side. Naruto thought that was cute. Wait, CUTE?! Naruto inwardly shook his head. He couldn't be... falling for the Uchiha, could he?

" I... see.. I forgive you." Natsumi replied. Sasuke's head snapped up to survey the girl before him. ' What's this feeling in the pit of my stomach? C-Could I be in love?' Sasuke thought, he continued to stare. Natsumi was nervous.

" W-What is it?" Natsumi replied.

" I think... I'm in love." Sasuke said. Natsumi's eyes widen.

' No way...'
