A/N: Yep, still editing chapters, I finished chapters 1-4. 5-6 will probably be done by the end of the week. Please review!


Chapter 4 Enter a Boy in Need of Antidepressants

"Yo," I said rubbing the back of my head.

"What the hell are you wearing!?" Naruto said pointing at my outfit.

"Ah, I forgot to mention, I work at a cosplay café! Gomen, gomen! Anyways, I'll go change now."

I came back out and we all went to the ramen shop. "So, you guys are Naruto's teammates right?"

"Yeah, I'm Haruno Sakura," said the pink haired girl. I turned to the boy with black hair.

"Uchiha Sasuke."

"So you all are genins too? Are you all having fun?" I asked them.

"NO! All we do is chase after runaway cats, pick up trash and pick weeds from gardens!" Naruto complained.

"NARUTO!" Sakura said.

"It's true. I want to go on a real mission!" Naruto said.

I laughed, "So what is a real mission Naruto."

"Hmmm, maybe guarding a lord or something like that, one where we get to fight against other shinobi and exciting stuff like that."

Sasuke nodded his head in agreement. I ate some of my ramen and then turned my attention to Sakura.

"You know what Sakura-san, you're very lucky you know,"

"What do you mean?"

I pointed to Sasuke and Naruto and said with a small smile, "You got two strong and handsome boys to protect you, I'm so jealous."

"Eh?" Sakura asked a slight blush appearing on her cheeks. Sasuke and Naruto seemed to choke for a minute on their ramen. My smile grew bigger.

"Yeah, so which one do you like Sakura-san?"

"Ah, uhhh…," she mumbled something. I laughed and patted her on the back.

"You know Sakura-san you don't really need to answer. I was only teasing. So, what's your sensei like? Is he nice?"

"He's late almost every day," Sasuke said.

"He always gives a lame excuse for why he's late. One time he said he was helping an old lady cross the street," Sakura added. I laughed.

"He sounds very amusing."

"He always reads this perverted book, I think it's called Icha Icha Paradise or something," Naruto said, "I wouldn't be surprised if he…"

"If I what Naruto-kun?" said a voice from behind us.

All three genin seemed to freeze in their seats; they turned slowly in their seats. "Ka-ka-kakashi-sensei," Naruto stuttered.

"Naruto it's rude to talk about people behind their backs."

"Ano…we were just telling Miyuki-san your…uh…hobbies."*

"Oh?" Kakashi turned to me. "I'm Hatake Kakashi."

"I'm Miyuki."

"Are you a kunochi?"

"Oh no no, I just work at the cosplay café down the street. You're welcome to come anytime."

"I would love to go sometime. I would hang around and chat, but I have to take these three and train. C'mon you three."

"Oh yeah, Naruto-kun would you like to come by my place for dinner again?"

"Really!? Okay!"

"Good," I turned to his team, "The rest of you are welcome to come of course."

And so there we were sitting around my table eating tempura, Okinawa Soba, and rice.

"Oishii!" Sakura said, "You a good cook Miyuki-san." **

"Thank you Sakura-san."

"So, Miyuki-san do you live with anyone?" Kakashi asked me.

"No I don't, I live by myself."

"Hmmm. That's rather dangerous don't you think?"

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah, maybe I should come by more often, you know to make sure you're okay and…"

"Ne Miyuki-san, how old are you?" Naruto asked rather loudly.

"I'm 18."

Kakashi went off into an emo corner growing mushrooms. I sweat dropped. After dinner we chatted some more about random things when Sakura stood up.

"I have to go home now," Sakura said, "It's already 8. Thank you for having me for dinner, Miyuki-san."

"I should go too," Kakashi said now getting up, "Thanks for dinner Miyuki-san. It was delicious."

"It was fun having you two over, thank you for coming," I got up to show them out. I came back to see Sasuke and Naruto.

"Do you guys want to play video games?" I asked.

"Yeah!" Naruto said while Sasuke nodded his head.

We played Super Smash Bros, Mariokart, and Mario Party, cursing at loses, bragging with wins, and laughing at epic failures. I looked at the clock. Crap, it's already 11.

I looked sternly, "Naruto did you notice the time?"

"Oh, is it that late already? Too bad, it's kind of dangerous to walk around at night. You never know what could happen. And you shouldn't look at me like that, you ARE the adult here. Shouldn't you be more responsible?" He replied with a smile. Damn him, he soooo knew the time and even though Konoha was pretty safe, you never know what could happen. I've heard about a man named Orochimaru who was able to sneak into many other hidden villages. And from what I've heard Orochimaru isn't a very good guy to hang with. Naruto knows I wouldn't let him go home if it was this late.

Shit, I looked at Sasuke. He's parents are probably worried. He should probably call his parents so that they can come pick him up or something.

"Sasuke, do you want to call your parents? It's pretty late…" my voice drifted off when I saw the look on his face. It looked like the face Naruto had when I asked him about his parents. Crap.

"I'm sorry Sasuke, I didn't realize…"

"It's fine." Silence. Shit shit shit. What the hell should I do now? I sighed.

"Sasuke, do want to spend the night here?" I really don't know why I was asking. I'll probably force him to stay anyways.

"I don't want to intrude. Besides, Naruto is already staying here." The aura around him was so dark and depressing, it was ridiculous. Someone here needs to take some antidepressants or something.

"It's okay, you could stay here too. It's no trouble really…"

"It's fine. I'll be fine by myself." He started to walk to the door.

"Sasuke, you know what? I never had parents either. And you know what? Being alone isn't going to make anything any better. Sometimes you need others to care about you too, just because you open up to people doesn't make you weak. Sometimes it makes you stronger. And I refuse to let you walk home by yourself!"

Sasuke was glaring at me, "I'm a shinobi, I can handle…" His voice slightly raised.

I raised my voice, "You're only a genin! Other ninja could probably come out and…"

"Why do you care!?"

"You're my friend now aren't you?" I said softly. "You want someone to care about you, don't you try and lie to me, because I know that's what you want. You want to know how I know? Because that's what every kid without parents wants. That's what Naruto wants and that's what I wanted, and still want." Without warning I grabbed Naruto and Sasuke and pulled them into a hug.

I said in a much happier tone, "So, we should become a family! Us orphans have to stick together, ne?"***

"Talk about bipolar. One minute she's all serious and the next she's like this," Sasuke thought to himself.

"Yosh!" Naruto said.

I looked down at Sasuke, "Sasuke?"

I could see a smile on his face…okay it wasn't really a smile, but if I looked close enough I could see it, I swear. "Sasuke?" I asked again.

"I guess we're gonna be one fucked up family huh?" Sasuke said.

I laughed.

Hidan's POV

So that bitch was able to become somewhat happy…without me.

"Hey, Mizuki-chan when you say one of their names is Uchiha Sasuke… is he somehow related to Itachi, un?" Deidara asked.

"Actually, I think they're brothers. When Sasuke became a bit more open, he told me about his brother who killed the rest of his clan. So I assume he meant Itachi." Mizuki answered.

"So Zuki-chan, Miyuki was you're fake name?" Tobi asked.

"At the time yes." she said

"So, which one did you fall in love with, un?" Deidara asked.

"Eh?" she asked.

"Which one did you fall in love with, yeah?"

"Deidara, you know how much older than them I am? I'm like 15 years older! And besides I fell in with both of them." Mizuki said.

"EEEHHHHHHH!?!?" Tobi and Deidara yelled out. What the fuck? How can she fall in love with two kids?

Mizuki had a stress mark on her head, "You both know that I didn't fall in love love with them right? I fell in love with them as if they were both my little brothers."

"Oh, Zuki-chan surprised Tobi for a second," Tobi said.

"Okay, so you 'fell in love' with the two kids. How did you find out that love lasts forever, yeah?" Deidara asked.

"I found out after they had their chunnin exams. You see, after their chunnin exams I got a boyfriend."

"No way, un," Deidara said in disbelief. Mizuki had a fuckin' boyfriend? There's no fucking way.

*-ano is sort of like saying "um" **- oishii means good, or tasty ***- when "ne" follows a sentence it sort of means, isn't that right?
