Strath here finaly with the next chapter and what a chapter it is, I am introducing the first deffinate pairing which was actualy a last minute decision so im not gonna say what it is right now

The moment the two gates clanged shut the leaf villages two new "guest" met the eyes of confused villagers and more ninjas who were fairly surprise to see the young flutists face walk through the doors.

"Naruto tell me everything that happened okay," Taking him a side from the hustling crowed that was gathering to see what was going on.

"Sure Tsunade-baachan but there's really not much to say I mean I was swimming in the river after training and I met the tall guy ummm Kuro something and we hung out for awhile."

"So he wasn't your enemy then?" The Fifth asked intently narrowing her glance.

"No but I mean he attacked me by accident when he was fishing, I was down there but that was a complete mistake." He said shaking his head at the thought that he really intended to kill him.

"I see and the Sound girl?" Her voice becoming cold.

"She came with his brother umm Kamui I think and…" He paused remember Kuroshi pleading with him in his mind momentarily. "He attacked her while me and her were shouting at each other, he did something to her back well I mean from the sound of it she got injured in their mission to retrieve Sasuke and the little guy messed her up worst." He then looked at her while she contemplated over what he had said.

"So not only do I have to decide what to do with her and the imposter I need to take a look at her for medical attention, this sucks Naruto.." Lowering her head feeling that headache acting up again.

"What do you mean Tsunade-baachan?" He asked sincerely oblivious to everything that was going on.

"I didn't want to let you know Naruto but we got information where Sasuke was and we got it from her apparently but he escaped."

"What do you mean, she told us where he was and you didn't let me know?!" He shouted stopping their ANBU escort and their two new travel buddies.

"The mission failed but we took the base Naruto so we are gathering all the information we could get from their base and besides Naruto, that perv is coming to train you tomorrow for along time so you have to focus on that now Naruto not finding Sasuke just yet okay, leave that to us." Placing a consoling hand on his shoulder reassuring him that it was the best plan of action.

"Okay I will but what are you going to do with them?" Pointing back to the caravan of ANBU with their prisoners in the middle.

"We have more then enough cell's to keep them I guess." Adding a slight snicker under her breath.

"Hey!" The knuckle head shouted back snapping his villages leader to his attention. "Didn't you just say you were gonna think about it for three days?!" Giving her a scowl.

"Don't give me that Naruto you know as well as I do that she is and has been a threat to this village and all who live in it, do you really think the Hokage can just wave a known enemy away and pardon them for their crimes just-this-once?" She now towered over him reminding him of her authority.

"But you made a promise and the promise of the Hokage needs to be absolute and not a lie, I don't care if she is an enemy." He stepped up nearly forcing her to move her head back.

"Naruto you have to understand my position as the leader of this village, my actions and decisions need to be that of the will of the village so I have to do what's best for the village and that means I cant just pardon her because she left us a note…this world isn't so simple Naruto." The busty blond now placed both hands on each of his shoulders and looked him in the eyes knowing that he was the kind of person who cares to much and is kind at heart.

"I understand that really I do but I mean she helped us out and left that bastard Orochimaru to boot so we cant just ignore her and stick her in a cell for the rest of her life for putting her neck out for us, even if the rest of the village just sees her as an enemy we caught you know she choose to come to us."

"…Naruto your such a good hearted person, you don't see this wasn't an act out of the good of her heart but that she's just using us for what ever reason." She thought while looking into his clear blue eyes.

"So what should I do Naruto huh?, let her roam our streets with a grudge against us?"

"Just promise me you will stay true to your word okay Tsunade-baachan?, I know they choose you to be the Hokage for a reason and not Ero-Sensei heh." He gave her that sincere grin she loved to see so much.

"You got it kid, I promise to you Naruto-kun that I will keep my promise to her and truly consider it…" Pausing while she let her mind wander into all of the fun that might come out of having a former Sound ninja around.

"Even if I need to be a little creative in how to accommodate her being free within these walls." Finishing with a wide devilish grin that made Naruto's hair stand on end by just imagining what she could possibly have in mind.

"That's umm great to hear grandma Tsunade but umm you don't needa be all evil about it." Looking away with a blush on his face as her enormous breast bounced in place from her scheming.

Meanwhile the ANBU guard stayed well in place waiting for their leader to finish her conversation with the young genin much to the displeasure of one of their prisoners.

"Look at them fuckers…freaking pathetic how they pal around in public like that." Angrily barked a rather pissed off and anxious Tayuya who thought about escaping while they talked the entire time.

"Ohh I don't know Tayuya I think it looks kinda cute to me." Smiled Kuroshi back at her as he stood and watched their conversation intently.

"Cute?!, bahh I heard that bimbo has a thing for young boys…" She then lowered her head away from their direction as if repulsed before continuing. "I bet she let that kid have a go at her already, the bitch."

"Really? Hmmm could be from how chummy they are but he doesn't seam the type to do that in my opinion Tayuya." commented the tall grey nin with a hint of seriousness.

"Yeah your probably right since the twerp isn't related to the bitch after all…right?" Her tone more question like then just being sarcastic.

"How would I know I just met him Tayuya." Retorted a confused Kuroshi.

"Yeah you met him for over an hour while we waited in the fucking woods for your dumb ass so don't even try and tell me you two didn't talk the whole freaking time cause you and him seam like the type of losers to hang out in a filthy magazine store together and drool like idiots over the damned pages." Replying with complete bitterness in her voice at the thought of it.

"Hmm maybe." Adding a big smile and stressing the "maybe" with a childish tone.

"…Damned weirdo." Was all she responded with seeing that her insults right now would only fuel his immature nature giving the severity of their situation.

Tsunade now having been defeated once again by Naruto's big heart ordered the caravan of ninjas to move on to their destination of their white interrogation room smack dab in the middle of their military building located on the edge of the town looking across to the Hokage Tower.

That night Naruto slept unsteady thinking about all the events that have transpired since Sasuke left him and his team to join Orochimaru, he also wondered about the new training he was going to be having with Ero-Sensei come the morning or as he suspected the short attention span of the pervert maybe in the afternoon or night. Tsunade also spent her night with much trouble as she argued with her self over what to do with her new guests, she already had Ibiki the leader of the ANBU Torture and Interrogation Force to ask them the basic questions and forbid him form implementing any of his more colorful means of questioning, a point she made clear to get across twice with certainty that they wouldn't be harmed physically or mentally, this was something he argued with her about but decided not to attempt against her will.

In their large white interrogation room however Tayuya's and Kuroshi's time was spent with Tayuya getting a few quick jabs and kicks against his gut for that "Tayuya-Chan" and a few more hits for the situation they were in because of him, this beating was something Ibiki allowed since they were in his mind already weakening their defenses so if the time came to get into their heads he would play off this as a front door.

Thankfully Tsunade had considered their stay in the room over cells and provided two sleeping bags for them, two pillows and a few blankets, since the dull white room only had a large white wooden table and a few chairs that they had to remove anyway for risk of them being turned into weapons against them. They were allowed bathroom breaks and meals when ever they were hungry instead of throwing some slop at them from the prison cells. And as promised the perverted novelist came to pick Naruto up right in the morning to begin their extensive training for what the pervert thought to be a couple of years giving the severity of the situation now, they didn't have time to relax or mess around.

While the new mornings light shown across the sky and shinned into the face of a serious Naruto who planned on fully taking advantage of this new training regiment and a rather disappointed pervert who was a little upset they couldn't just spend a few hours in Konoha's famous hot springs. That same light flowed through the Fifth Hokage's windows as she spent the previous night deeply considering the young Uzumaki's words to her about keeping her promise to Tayuya who had been a factor in the death of the very same old man Naruto looked up to and cared for so long.

"I wonder Naruto-kun if you would be so quick to defend her if you only knew she's responsible for the old mans death like a lot of us do." She sympathetically thought knowing full well that if he knew he would most likely beat her into the ground or even take the side of the counsel and vote to have her executed like they did last night when she brought up the situation to them.

"Im the freaking Hokage not them and I am the one who promised Naruto-Kun I would consider my other promise as Hokage to that damned sound brat so I am the one who will make the damn decision!" She shouted out load as she remembered said old people ordering her what to do in the name of the village when she was considering the village the whole time.

"Heh I know what I can do to piss off and satisfy those old conies and respect Naruto-Kun wishes to consider letting that bitch go free but its one hell of a gamble with really high stakes." She continued talking out loud to her self in her office.

"But after all that's what gambling is all about, taking a chance but…I need to plan this out so it wont go south on me but ohh well they will get their response in three days time like I said heh." She smirked leaning back into her chair readying the paper work with a devilish grim as she watched her handy work come into fruition before her eyes as she filled out each form bitterly yet joyfully knowing full well all the misery she would get to cause because of it.

And as those three days had been promised so had they about to end on the third day which left Tayuya extremely anxious and nervous while Kuroshi was more worried about Kamui doing anything stupid or getting in harms way but he sensed he was fine close by and decided to wait with Tayuya for the Hokage to make her final decision.

Their three days went by fast, well as fast as three days of waiting could go, their first day was filled with the sounds of Tayuya pummeling Kuroshi for their situation, the second was a silent day as neither spoke much and Kuroshi had to re examine Tayuya's back and add more of his chakra to make up for his brothers but their third day was nothing but long waiting periods as the time slowly creped towards another day which meant they were both in trouble and needed to escape asap but their fears of waiting a forth day went unrealized as Tsunade entered the room holding a two stacks of paper work in each hand and even some in her assistant Shizune's hands.

"Bout freaking time!" Tayuya shouted finally having a vent for all her pent up anxiety. Kuroshi only watched Tsunade enter the room and said nothing.

"So Tayuya and Kuroshi…how did you enjoy your stay in this room?" She said beginning to work her sinister plan on them.

"Enjoy the stay?!, What the fuck kinda question is that?!, We had to sleep and eat in this shitty room for three days remember!" Shouting at the Hokage with all her might while Kuroshi added his own thoughts.

"It was very hospitable Hokage-sama, I really do appreciate your accommodations." Adding a bow for good measure.

"Spineless worm!" The red head shot back at him while clenching her fist for him to show a little pride and dignity.

"Well at least that worm has some manners which is why I have this for him." She let one of her large documents fall out of her hands onto the table that was placed back into the room while they slept that night.

Carefully the grey haired ninja took the papers into hand and glanced over them for awhile before placing them down in front of her and said very seriously "I cant read." Then looked down at his lap.

The three women in the room (excluding the four ANBU guards stationed around the table as well as Ibiki who watched the events) were shocked to hear that he couldn't read a word of it, while Tayuya thought him to be an idiot to the core now the other females pitied him as being an under educated ninja.

"Well what that says is you will be released after you answer a few of my questions in person right here and now." Tsunade slowly spoke to him as Tayuya snatched his papers to make sure it wasn't a lie.

"Yeah that seams about right you illiterate dumb ass " Adding the illiterate part as a new weapon for her vocal armament against him.

"Anyway first off your name and village of which you hail from and are loyal too." Tsunade continued albeit rather irritated at Tayuya's rude comments to her so called ally.

"My name is Kuroshi Kurama and I hail from the Village Hidden In The Dusk, I have no loyalty ties to any village and am a traveler by my profession and lifestyle!" He shouted a little unnecessarily.

Ibiki and Tsunade were both shocked to hear that but Shizune and Tayuya were both unaware just what that meant, even a few of the ANBU guards jarred their heads at his statement.

"Did you just say the Village hidden by the Dusk?" the busty Tsunade asked again gaining more attention as it seamed to be a rather big deal to her.

"Lady Tsunade I have never heard of that village before do you know of it?" Urgently asked Shizune a little nervous at the serious look her long time friend now had on her face.

"For a lot of people Shizune that village is a fairy tail or myth since only certain people are actually aware of its existence in the world now a days, I know for a fact that each of the Hokages before me knew about it since the old man mentioned it a few times but only the Fourth Hokage had actually been there a few times." Her words became colder now remembering all the things she had heard about the village.

"So what's so fucking special about it!" Tayuya interrupted growing more impatient that that prick was going to be released while she most likely was going to be crammed in a cell.

While greatly annoyed by the sound ninjas crude interruption she decided it was best for her to explain it for everyone in the room.

"That village was formed secretly during the great wars of the past, it was formed by people with Kekkei Genkai abilities who fled their respective villages to flee the war, at first it was claimed to be a heaven for those who were out casts or marked for their abilities and bloodlines but after a few years it was said that in turned into a cesspool that harbored criminals and plotters against other villages." She placed her paperwork flat considering what it meant to have one of their villagers in her grasp.

"So another Sound." Tayuya added under her breath looking away from the Hokage and her traveling companion.

"Isn't that right Kuroshi?" Tsunade added seeing that he was surprised she knew so much.

"More or less." He replied while making an indecisive hand jester with both hands.

"So tell me, your village fell off the map for awhile and became the thing of legends awhile ago when it broke all contact with out side villages and moved away to some unknown location so just what happened to it?"

"Not much to say really, besides me and my brother their all dead." Replying calmly and indifferent to her question.

The room was silent now as every one processed his statement.

"What happened to your village for such a terrible thing to happen?" Tsunade finally broke the silence and asked the question that was on everyone's minds.

"Well as you should know since you do know so much, our village was despised by others since we were comprised of many different clans and members all possessing unique abilities, we were feared and hated for our birth rights by villages, clans and common people alike so we hid our village and became known as the legendary village of dusk that always moved our location every so often and couldn't be found but one day we were found and it doomed our village in a massive raid leaving just me and my brother to escape in the chaos and travel the countries." As he finished silence once again filled the room.

"You poor things." Shizune thought to her self after hearing his story.

"He is definatly playing the pity card the bastard.." Tayuya thought after she heard what he told her about his life before in the Sound base.

"I see…well we are gonna have to talk more in depth another time about that matter, any way you are free to live in Naruto's house with your brother once I speak with him as well, you should be thankful Naruto offered it to you before he left with that white haired buffoon anew days ago to train."

"Thank you Hokage-sama I really appreciate your hospitality to me and my brother." He stopped early before pressing the question. "What about Tayuya-Chan?"

He was soon returned with a sharp glare and a painful slow grinding sandal from the red haired demon formally of the Sound.

"That's a very good question you ask hmm what indeed." She smirked playfully swinging what Tayuya could only guess was execution rites.

"I decided…." She playfully paused seeing the anxiety and fear build up in Tayuya eyes as well as a great deal of hatred. "That I would allow you to live in Konoha outside of a prison cell."

As shocked as the entire room was no one was more shocked then Tayuya herself who just looked in disbelief at the busty blond while Kuroshi congratulated her in the back of her gaze.

"…your fucking with me aren't you, you think this is some fucking joke!?" The red head slammed her hands flat against the tabled sending the armed guard to draw their weapons at her throat nervously making her back down in front of the completely calm Hokage.

"Don't get me wrong Tayuya, a lot of the counsel wanted to see you publicly executed like a dog while others were content to have you tortured and rot in a cell for the rest of you life(making a quick glance at Ibiki before centering her gaze back to the former Sound member) while we forced out every single bit of information you knew about Orochimaru and the Sound." Her voice dark and filled with seriousness that gave the flutists enough mental images to make her feel sick.

"…so why let me go if you village is so hell bent to see me dead?" She cautiously asked knowing the answer might be worst then death itself.

"If you want some one to thank for convincing me then thank that hyper active knuckle head Naruto since he was the first to defend you." She finished remembering that only two people had anything to say in Tayuya's defense and only one of them actually really defended her and not were some shrugged off comments about her being smart and maybe useful.

"Great now I owe that fucker!?" She bitterly cursed to her self.

"Here's the deal Tayuya so take it now or leave it and live in a cell got it?" Snapping the flutists out of her thoughts.

" Y-yeah what?" sounding a little disorientated from being pulled from her mental images so suddenly.

"Were not gonna have you live in a cell or even in a room like this and we cant have you unsupervised in an apartment and have our people pulling baby sitter assignments all day and night keeping an eye on you." Adding her own little personal attacks that further infuriated the red head to no ends.

"So im gonna kill two birds with one stone and have you lived supervised with a capable ninja family, this doubles as surveillance and room and board for you understand? "

A sense of dread took Tayuya's body over at the thought of living with a family especially a Konoha shit family for however long she had too. Needless to say refusal was ever so close to her lips but life in prison was just more a little more worst to her.

"…Who is it?" Was all Tayuya could bring her self to say.

"First the rules before you accept." The Hokage said unable to suppress her smile and joyous tone.

"…What ever…what are they?" Feeling as if she was already defeated.

"Obviously you cant attempt an escape from this village, I don't think I need to explain to you why do I? The busty blond actually waited for a reply.

"…No you don't I think I get what happens if I try and leave, these fuckers and all their friends hunt me down like a dog right?" Adding a thumb pointing back to the ANBU stationed around her.

"Correct Tayuya, also it goes with out saying you cant attack anyone ninja or villager in the village as well."

Tayuya getting a little bolder after having her anger raised pushed the question. "And if one of said villagers or ninja attack me?" Throwing Tsunade a hateful glare.

"You cant go into public with out guard from either the family or the small ANBU division im going to appoint to you and your friend here but should the event occur where you are attacked do not kill do you hear me, I heard your good with genjutsu so your going to be allowed to use it only in defense then immediately report to an ANBU, your guardians or me if no ones around close enough."

"Wow…I didn't actually think that you considered my safely to tell you the freaking truth." She spoke her thoughts out loud amazed she really did say that.

"Like I said thank Naruto for pleading that I take situation with the honor of the Leaf village."

"…So you weren't.." Tayuya added a little bit too loud for her own good .

"What the hell you want from me cookies?!, I planned on just throwing you in a damp cell and forgetting you were here but he made me promise to give it thought so I did so shut the hell up!" Banging her own hands on the table breaking it as well as momentarily putting her own ANBU on guard to her from the sudden surprise before they immediately drew back before she had noticed.

Kuroshi merely laughed nervously at the sudden burst of strength the Hokage exerted.

"Anyway don't cause the family any trouble because they were the only ones who consider allowing you to live with them and if they decide they don't want you there well…" Allowing her devilish grin to reappear across her face. "You might have a very long wait in a cell waiting for another one to take the risk."

"…I get it so who are they already?, don't tell me their that Naruto's twerps family." Now having a scowl present on her face at the thought.

Tayuya's statement killed what joy Tsunade had mustered up thus far.

"He doesn't have a family so your out of luck." Her voice being cold enough to freeze blood itself.

Feeling the cold chill run up and down her mostly mangled spine from the Hokages dark voice and icy glare she kept quiet for the time being and thought about that for a moment, he didn't have a family yet seamed happy and overly energetic to her, at first she thought he was some pampered brat not some orphan.

"Any way…" She took a moment to compose her self and get to the moment she had been waiting all day to say. "Your going to be living with the Nara family for the time being, they shall be you parole officers, your guardians and caretakers until I see fit, so don't abuse their kindness and don't think they are suppose to cater to you got that?"

"..yeah I got it." Saying it in a miserable tone and a great deal of unease for some reason.

"Im going to have their son meet you soon and escort you to their home where your going to be staying, depending on how well you do…or not will determine what freedoms you will be allowed understand?" Once again getting joy at the approaching events to come she set in motion.

"Your enjoying every freaking moment of this aren't you…" The flutist added dryly after seeing that smile appear across her face again.

"Id be lying if I said I wasn't." Adding an extra wide grin to bore deep under the read heads skin.

"Lady Tsunade please try and contain your self this is a most serious matter and I don't think your positively reinforcing the situation by acting like this." Shizune began to scold her master out of her fun.

"Yeah yeah will its about time I reintroduced you to the son of the family your going to be staying with Tayuya." Her grin becoming toothy and nearly inhuman.

"Reintroduce?" The red head thought for a moment as the Hokage signaled a guard to knock on the door three times.

Soon after the door slid open revealing the ever slouched Shikamaru who had been impatiently waiting out side the door not hearing a word from the insolated room he was now walking into.

"Oi Hokage-sama I thought you'd have me out there all…" He stopped dead in his sentence the moment he seen that all too familiar fiery red long hair and those wide eyes and dropped jar staring at him unable to muster a single word. And before anyone could finally speak he turned around and left shutting the door behind him in huff as it escaping a nightmare.

Even through the room was partially insolated from sound he could hear the muffled out screaming from what he knew had to be the same girl he and his squad had fought in his last mission followed by a clearer(the moment the door was opened) "Get back in here Shikamaru!" From the Hokage her self.

As he slowly entered the room he saw that the young Sound nin's face was almost as red as her hair from the cursing he thankfully didn't hear but still rang in everyone else's ears so much so Ibiki considered using her for one of his torture exercises but shook off the idea mentally.

"This is a nightmare right?." He asked no one in general.

"Why the fuck is that rat here?!" Tayuya screamed once more bringing everyone a third of the way to being deaf.

Even Shikamaru wondered that sensing a trap of some sort in the air.

"Well its good to see you two remember each other." Added Tsunade practically dripping with delight.

"The fuck its good, I almost gutted that rat till that sandwhore showed up and dropped the forest on me!" Screaming anger and malice with each word more hate filled then the last.

"Well you better get over in since your going to be living in Shikamaru Nara's house." Letting out a tinge of delight slip out when she said "Nara" so Tayuya would instantly connect the dots.

"WHAT?!" they both shouted.

"That's right, everything's been finalized with Nara's family already." She added with a grin after flinching under their combined voice.

"What?!" Shikamaru projected alone while Tayuya threw her head into her hands and shook it violently.

"Hello there Shikamaru, my names Kuroshi and its really great to meet you, Tayuya has mentioned you a lot." The once quiet grey haired teen added with a grin.

"What?!" Shikamaru continued not even paying attention to the last sentence he just heard.

"Shikamaru get a hold of your self, she is going to be living with you and your family for awhile is all so that makes you her guard, her parole officer, and her caretaker and besides your family has agreed so get over it, this isn't just baby sitting it's a mission."

"Im cursed…that has to be it…im fucking cursed!, What the fuck did I do to deserve this hell in the first place…wait that's it, I have to be in hell right now this has to all be some delusion im going to suffer for all eternity…that bitch killed me and now im suffering in hell ARGHHH WHAT THE FUCK!" The young kunoichi mind raced uncontrollably as she came to the only conclusion that made sense to her at the moment.

It took the Fifth Hokage fifteen minutes to finally have them both in agreement, a feat that took a lot of raised voices, deathly glares and threats to both of them, life imprisonment alone for Tayuya and being her warden the entire time for Shikamaru namely since that was something neither of them wished for.

"So its agreed Tayuya that you will be living with the Nara's ?"

"…Yes." She answered hollowly.

"And its agreed that Tayuya will be your house guest till I see fit to change it Shikamaru?"

"…yes Hokage-sama its agreed…" Sounding equally as hollow.

"Good, now take her to your house and I will show Kuroshi to his….and Shizune." Snapping her attendant to attention.

"Y-yes Lady Tsunade?" She answered a little bit worried.

"You owe me a lot of drinks to replace this damn head ache with." Saying in the most tired way she could possible.

"….yes lady Tsunade." Dropping her head knowing it was gonna take A LOT of drinks.

After a few minutes more the room was cleared and Kuroshi waved farewell to Tayuya and Shikamaru who surprisingly haven't said a word since to each other.

"….My house is this way…" The procrastinator said giving a huge groan and beginning to walk down the hallway accompanied by two ANBU and a very depressed Tayuya who's only thing to add was "What ever fucking rat lets just go already…" Giving a slight groan herself as she trudged after him so not to get pushed by the damned black ops behind her.

Their walk through the streets was no easy picnic either since the ANBU in broad day light following a couple was an odd sight to see so they received many stares, thankfully only the ANBU and other ninjas knew the red haired girls true identity a fact that would soon change once it would be blabbed out by mean spirited or just the highly gossip typed ninjas to the rest of the town.

They both blindly slumped each not looking around or making a sound to each other or anyone else. Shikamaru was happy for the silence but knew it wouldn't last once she and him self recovered from the shock and would soon literally be at each others throats.

After much walking at a slow pace (which irritated the armed guards behind them) the two bitter enemies had finally arrived at the place of which they both would surly end up killing one another.

"…this is it…" His voice filled with dull discontent since this was now her home as well,

The Sound nin tried to come up with a way to insult his house but resentfully couldn't since it was a nice place or at least was much nicer then her old house with its broken windows and crumbling wood so while she couldn't insult him on how bad it was she decided to try and insult him on how good it was.

"…nice place, you and your family must have sucked a lot of balls to get it huh?" Lowing her head towards him.

"…That barley makes sense you know that right?." Letting a small grunt follow his speech.

"What ever lets just go inside, might as well get this shit over with and meet the two fuckers who forgot the condom and had your ass." Swinging her head away from him giving a quick blur of red hair swinging over her face.

"What a troublesome bitch, I think I liked it better when she tried to kill me." He rubbed the back of his head while he thought and considered continuing arguing but shot it down instantly.

He then shrugged and walked up his porch and opened the door and waited for her to follow but she still looked away so the ANBU gave her a quick push sending her focus back to the house and also to how much she wanted to kill them all. Walking up the steps she noticed their shogi table and a pair of chairs seated next to each other but quickly adjusted her view inside the house as she followed the "Rat" into his hole.

"…Im home." He announced to no one in particular then awaited an answer so he could chew them out about this situation.

"Welcome home Shikamaru, is our guest with you?" His mothers voice called out from the kitchen across the living room that they both stood in with ANBU waiting behind them in the doorway. To every ones discomfort but Shikamaru's they had to stand in the dark since he hadn't even bothered to turn on the lights.

"…Yeah she is, and why the hell did you and dad agree to have her live with us in the first place I mean you two know she and her friends all most killed us right?" He called across the house not setting a foot any farther then he had too.

"I knew you were gonna complain about it Shikamaru that's why we didn't tell you, besides the Hokage her self requested it and you know how our family has always been faithful to the Hokage and this village…" She paused before continuing in a much louder voice knowing her son was most likely airing her out. "So get over it!" She finished in a loud shout making the young procrastinator flinch under her voice which gave Tayuya a little smirk seeing her enemy scolded.

Foot steps now came from the kitchen making their way to the living room that was still encased in darkness then stopped as the figure entered the room only to see the lights were off.

"Damn it Shikamaru you could at least make the effort to turn the lights on for our guest you know!" She shouted after stumbling into their lamp post before taking hold of it and looking around for the switch.

"…Sorry mom I thought she would feel more at home in a dark dreary setting." He made a slight smirk after feeling Tayuya's breathe give a nice hot huff of hatred against the back of his neck.

The two Nara's both turned on their lights at the same time filling the room with a bright pleasant glow and gave Tayuya a better look around and at the bitch who would own her ass for awhile, she was very surprised at what she saw.

"She's…beautiful…" Was the only thought Tayuya could think of since she expected the mother of the rat to be some fat chubby bitch version of a female Shikamaru and not…pretty and kind looking as she stood before them.

Yoshino stood near the center of the room wearing her casual in house cloths, a long brown skirt that almost reached her feet, a light red shirt and an apron that was nearly the length of her body. Tayuya made mental notes of all her features, her long black hair and she just was able to see was tied off at the end, her dark sincere eyes and most notable feature her face which wore a kind smile. All these things made the young sound kunoichi think of one thing and that was her own mother so instead of giving her warden a hateful stare the only thing the former sound nin could do was give her a confused stare.

"Hello there Tayuya my name is Yoshino Nara, Shikamaru's mother, your going to be living with us for awhile correct? She gave a bow as she welcomed her which surprised both Shikamaru and Tayuya.

"Great now I bet this annoying woman is gonna bitch at my mom and their gonna start arguing and crap…how troublesome this whole thing is." Shikamaru thought to himself awaiting the raised voices to begin a shutting match.

"…H-hello…and yeah that bat is gonna have me live with yous." Her sentence devoid of any swears or insults like she had first intended as they walked to the house, her voice also carried a very subdued tone which shocked both Shikamaru and his mother since she was informed she was extremely foul mouthed and Shikamaru knew she was extremely foul mouthed.

Shikamaru was so shocked he even looked around to stare in her face only to see that the normally angry girl wasn't even making eye contact and seamed flushed and confused.

"Talk about a 360, didn't think this woman could go a sentence with out demeaning someone." He thought then turned back around deciding not to inquire why she looked as she did as to avoid a defensive argument on her part.

"Well feel free to make your self at home Tayuya, I will show you your room upstairs when you like and I also made you both a meal of miso soup with rice so feel free to eat it when ever you two like." She then gave a nod to the two guards behind them that it was okay for them to leave which they hesitantly did as they jumped into the shadows after closing the door behind them then spied on the house closely making sure it was safe for the time being.

"Wow mom your awfully nice to an enemy considering she almost killed me." He groaned a little more annoyed then usual seeing she was getting special treatment.

"That's right, I tried to kill her fucking shit of a son so why the hell is she being so kind unless this is all a freaking setup!" The young flutist thought as she nervously survey the room feeling adrenalin pumping in her veins awaiting some cruel trick.

"I said I made you soup too Shikamaru!" She shouted back dodging the point of her sons question.

"Geez fine, I will have some later okay." Waving back at her dismissively.

"You two can move cant yous? There's no point standing at the door all day." His mother called out from the other run after sensing they hadn't budged.

Tayuya finally then noticed that she had been standing next to the door the entire time she had entered and that Shikamaru stood next to her to make sure she didn't try and make a move against his mother, an act she quickly both admired and hated, admired for protecting his parent in the presence of a deadly ninja and hated thinking that shed stoop so low as too do that…even if she did consider it as a possibility of escape while on the way here.

"Where's dad?" The procrastinator had to ask feeling it wasn't right he wasn't here to protect the house as well.

"That old man went to get more sake even though we were expecting you two all day, he had been whining about it all day so I finally let him." His mother ended in a huff as if remembering all the side comments about how they didn't have any left.

"Ohh great this rats dad sounds like a fucking alcoholic." Tayuya thought bitterly after hearing this news.

"Figures he wouldn't be here when we need him, what a drag." He impatiently positioned him self back and forth so his shadow connected to hers just incase, he didn't show it but leaving the lights off wasn't just cause he was lazy, he instinctually did that so he could wrap his shadow around her feet so she wouldn't notice incase she made a move when they arrived. But with the lights on and her downward gaze she noticed he was positioning him self to her and even tested it by take a few steps to the right only to see him do the same to match her.

"That bum should be here…" He let out another groan as he followed her steps as they both moved further into the living room.

"Are you okay Shikamaru?" His mother asked noticing him sweat a little as he eye balled the room while returning his gaze on their guest.

Tayuya then noticed him as well and how he was so unnerved by her being so close to one of his loved ones, as much as she hated him and wanted to mess with him anyway she could, messing with his mother to do it seamed far too low to her to do no matter how much it made him squirm.

"Is it okay if I take a look around?" Tayuya said looking away from both of them.

"Of course I will give you the grand tour of our house so you will feel more comfortable knowing where everything is." Giving her a smile at how polite she turned out to be.

"Its okay mom...I'll show her, how bout you get the food ready and I will take it up to her room okay?" He butted in and decided to take over the role of tour guide in his mothers stead.

Seeing his serious face his mother allowed him to assume the role with a nod and "Okay Shikamaru but try and be polite." Before she went back into the kitchen and prepared their meals to go.

Turning back to Tayuya with a groan he began his explanation of the house to her. "This is the living room…the stairs to up stairs are to your left…kitchen is over there…bathroom is down that hall way over there and the backyard is at the end…there's a bathroom up stairs also…and…hey mom where is her room?" He shouted across into the kitchen since he wasn't sure WHERE the heck she was staying.

Tayuya herself was extreamly pissed off since this tour hadn't even taken a step yet and didn't look like it ever was, to her this fucker really was THAT lazy.

"Ohh she's gonna be staying in the empty room next to yours Shikamaru." Her voice raising itself over the sound of boiling pots.

After initial shock of hearing that they'd be living side by side in rooms he realized there was no empty room next to his besides the families library slash study.

"Great…now she's gonna keep be up with her loud whining all the time right on the other side of my wall." He thought giving a decisive huff .

"Take me there already you fucker!" The young red head demanded suddenly.

"…" Not saying a word the annoyed Nara made his way to the stairs and stopped there signaling her to go up first.

Not saying a word back to her warden she walked passed him then abruptly turned around and looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"You better not stare at me you fucking bastard or I will kick your face in got that!?" Narrowing her glare to a squint.

"…You sure you can?" Snapping a quick comment at her nearly under his breath.

"What was that shit head!?" Raising her voice suddenly.

"I heard you were heavily injured from Hokage is all." Giving her a slight grin.

With out saying a word the young sound nin took hold of both stair case railings and launched her feet towards a very shocked Shikamaru as she spun them and twirled down the stairs switching her hands on the railing in a rather elegant fashion as she continued a flurry of kicks and twists just out of his heads range.

As she dismounted and landed in front of him who now in a defensive stance expecting a fight to ensue she leaned in and spoke very softly to him. "Your Intel was wrong bitch, I may be stuck in your house but I am far from a defenseless stray." Then turning around and walking back up the stairs leaving him in awe.

"Yeah really nice information you old hag." He added to himself hen letting out another groan before following her up himself.

As they walked in the second floor halls Tayuya noted the bathroom on the left side and a few doors on each side, one of them his and one of them hers. Seeing that that ass passed the first room on the right with out looking meant it was most likely his room so a look was needed.

Stopping in front of his open door the former sound member made mental notes of all she saw.

"Wow that's just freaking dull looking as hell and the place is a sty, I should call this prick pig boy instead of a rat heh." She thought as she surveyed his child hood room.

His walls were a light blue with painted clouds over head, no posters and only a few pictures on draws and shelf's. Cloths and scrolls were sprawled across parts of the floor, an unfinished mission report lay next to his pillow. There was also another shogi table near his closet with pieces set possibly from an unfinished game. His room looked…normal to her so she hated it naturally from first sight.

"Come on already, are you always this slow?" Her enemies voice distracted her from her analysis as he impatiently stood in front of her door.

"Im just seeing where rats jerk off when their alone." She called back with a modest grin seeing him not get the insult at first then instantly look like he got a migraine once he realized it.

"Damn that's disgusting you know that." Placing one hand against his forehead .

"Yeah your telling me rat boy." Placing her hands along her hips leaning towards him letting a cocky smirk creep from one side of her face to the other.

Pausing awhile rethinking her comment he shook his head then pointed at the door which was to be her new lair for awhile.

With peaked interest the young former sound nin poked her head inside briefly then entered.

She had to admit her new room wasn't bad at all, a fact she actually resented since it fortified the notion that this rat faced prick had it easy while she been living in cramped quarters in a cave with assholes and bastards.

There was a closet to the left of the door with a large old fashioned bed in the center of the room, a book shelf filled to the brim with medical books, journals, deer raising guids and jutsu related material filling every spot available as well as stacked on each other. Past that in the corner of the room was a old fashion wooded study desk that looked as if it was used to write a few books in its time and to the left of that corner was another book self comparable to the one before it followed by what surprised her the most, an unbarred window with a view , the view being unseen from her current location though. To the left of the window was a large plant with small flowers budding oddly along its branches. She was a little surprised there was even a moderate TV past the plant but it was at a crappy angle to her so she figured it to be a rush job placing it into the room. And past the TV hanging on the wall next to it was a decent sized oval mirror that length was fairly large and could capture quite a bit of the room in its reflection.

"Wow I thought you'd stick me in a freaking dungeon." She said aloud with a little surprise ringing in her voice.

"It'd be to much of a drag to remodel it for you I guess." Shikamaru commented aloud also while putting his hands up in a I-am-not-sure-manner which combined with his lazy voice made his words seam more truth then an insult.

"T-the fuck?!" She shot back not knowing if he just threw a insult at her so commonly that even she couldn't catch it.

"…My parents room down stairs.." He replied dully with out an actual intent to reply at all.

"Ohh, well you ass never mentioned their room in the first place!" She shot back trying to get a shot in, any shot.

"Your right I didn't…" Responding to her with an even more less interested voice as if he were about to fall asleep right there and then.

"Shikamaru, come down and get both your dinners before they get cold!" His mother shouted considerately loud from below only to hear a grunt and shuffling of feet above her limping across the ceiling as if it'd kill him to make the trip.

Leaving the demon alone in her new room he paced down the steps while said demon took a better look around.

"So many freaking books, no wonder why its so dammed stuffy in here!" Taking her hostility out on the air temperature since it was the only thing around bothering her at the time.

Moving close to the window she opened it a little surprised it wasn't rigged so it couldn't be opened besides the crude locking mechanism on it, no sooner had she opened it and felt the cool breeze enter the room and blow past her hair she noticed a slight shuffling in the trees.

"Damned lifeless ANBU, to think I would try and run away on my first day here is fucking insulting!" She mused with her self cursing them before noticing that the fruity headed bastard was standing behind her a little questioningly.

"The hell you want rat?!" Letting out another burst of anger at a new annoyance to set her mind on.

"If your gonna jump then you wasted my time getting you this food…" He ended in a huff as the bowl burned his palm slightly.

"F-fuck you!, like id kill my self and do you a favor!" Giving him another intense hate filled glare.

"Yeah your right, knowing you; you would become immortal just for spite right?" He asked rhetorically.

"Just give me the god damned soup all ready numb nuts!, I don't have to listen to your shit all night and --im sure you don't wanna hear mine so put it on the fucking table and get-the-fuck out of my-room!" Ending with a slow speech to emphasize her message to further piss him off.

Giving the situation Shikamaru preformed very well, he didn't argue back with her, didn't drop or spill the bowl by "accident" and even didn't do anything she expected from him other then placing the bowl down on the study wooden table then leaving, but he did exhale loudly the moment he turned the corner as he left the room and made his way to his room a few feet away.

Grinning at his obedience and his obvious anger she then walked over to her meal and to her surprise it looked delicious.

"…Nothing like a home cooked meal…" She joked dryly while lacking any of the elements that made what she said a joke more so then an empty depressed statement.

After momentarily considering the food to be poison she decided to risk it, after all she decided she had nothing to lose since if she died that freak in the grey vest would gladly bring her back if she wanted too or not.

Taking one big deep mouthful and tasting it in her mouth she dropped her spoon with a decisive slang, her eyes shot wide and even a little tremble ran across her shoulders.

"Fuck…" She paused for a few moments. "Its good…" She dropped her gaze down to her knees and lamented bitterly that she had been given a good meal by "these" people above all else. Her face was twisted as if it were fighting back tears at how pathetic it all was. But what hurt her the most was her cooking was… "Better then moms…" She spoke those words at barley a whisper and noticed a single tear drop fall and splash in the golden broth of her soup leaving a little rainbow like residue in the center but she immediately used sheer will to hold back another one from falling.

After minutes of staring at her bowl and deep concentration in her thoughts she dejectedly picked up her spoon and scooped another portion, then another and another till it was empty and let the spoon fall against the ceramic bowl that echoed the clang into the hall.

With out a word to anyone she trudged her self to the bed and tore back the blankets and stared at it expecting stains of some sort but it was clean and…fluffy to her surprise. Not wanting to see what kind of father the rat had she went into the bed and turn towards the window before remembering those bastards were there. Pulling her self up she made her way to the window and peeped out of it with a glare and raised both middle fingers up to her chest just blow her chin and then to complete her odd stance she balanced on her good left leg and took hold of the blinds with her right toe and gripped it with her toes tightly to swing them shut. Feeling satisfied with her gymnastic achievement given her condition Tayuya finally made it back to her bed and rested on it letting her head drop with a thump against the cool fluffy pillow then spent the remainder of her consciousness staring bitterly, even leering up at the unfamiliar white ceiling above her as if imagining the faces of everyone she hated there mocking her as she tried to sleep peacefully but eventually she had finally found that comfortable salvation and drifted to sleep.

Meanwhile Shikamaru slouched against the wall facing his door way surveying if she left her room after he left and given that he hadn't heard her loud, annoying, insulting and rotten commands for nearly twenty minutes he was quite shocked.

"Heh maybe she hung herself with her bed sheets….shit." His worry had gotten the better of him as he thought of a likely reason. He forced himself to make a quick rush to her room next door. But what he found was not what he expected which made him feel a bit releived in all truth.

She looked pissed even in her sleep he mentally noted seeing her hands above the blankets clenching the fabric tightly under her slumbered grip, her eyes squinted as if leering at something in her head and her mouth open will just a little ripple of saliva coming off the edge of her mouth.

He soon noticed the bowl atop the wooden desk in the corner and tried his best stealthily to retrieve it before his mother yelled at him expecting it with his own. Soon after picking it up he noticed it was bone dry which made him create a smirk across his face seeing his mothers cooking live up to its reputation even with enemy stomachs as being delicious and irresistible.

As he left the room his father Shikaku caught him immediately in the hall much to his surprise.

"Hey there Shikamaru, how's everything going with our guest?" Asking as nonchalant as he could.

"And where the hell where you when we needed you?" Sending a disrespectful spat at his father direction as if the entire time he had been annoyed.

"You's needed me Shikamaru?" Replying a little confused.

"An enemy comes to our house and you go and buy sake…sorry dad but that a lame thing to do even for you." Giving his father a half eyed opened glare.

"I had faith in you to control the situation Shikamaru." He nodded approvingly to his son.

"Yeah sure you did, ohh and this is for you dad." He placed the porcelain bowl lightly against his fathers vest causing him to look down dumbfounded at his son.

"Its her dishes, go help mom clean them." After saying that he turned around and made his way into his room for some much needed rest leaving his guard duty to his father as well as the dishes.

Taking a few steps forward he peered into Tayuyas room and saw her sleeping the same way his son did minutes ago and looked at her resting with a neutral expression on his face.

"So you're the one who almost beat my boy huh?, wonder how good you are at Shougi." Shikaku Nara thought silently in his mind looking her over before noticing the small trail of drool sliding down to her pillow giving him a slight chuckle.

Before turning away and making his way down to the kitchen to ask about everything that had happened to his wife as well as assist in the dishes for the day, a chore he and his sun always normally ducked out of at the last minute.

"Hey there hunny, how did everything go while I was away?" Shikaku said while wrapping his arms around his loves Yoshino waist and letting his head drop on her right shoulder as she cleaned the pots.

"Drunk again I see hun, I swear its not a good influence to Shikamaru…or our new quest for that matter which by the way went a lot better then I suspected for your information." Giving him a loving yet stern tone as he cuddled her in his nearly intoxicated bliss.

Shikaku's gaze went back up to her face from his previous downward gaze from what lie under her apron so that she wouldn't bust him up about unwanted actions.

"So she wasn't a complete bitch like we heard?" He asked very gruffly.

"Not to me any way hunny, but I think she worries our little Shika a lot, I noticed how unsettled he was with her here." Scrubbing another plate intently as she was slowly fondled.

Placing his mouth up to his wife's ears so his words would have a "blow" effect he softly spoke incase anyone was listening. "Well you know dearest how things were when they fought, he did tell us enough times how troublesome an opponent she was and while he didn't say it out right he feared for his life…I can see why the Hokage her self would want to try and convert her to the leaf like this." Wrapping his arms tightly pulling her close against him.

"O-ohh, hunny keep your mind out of the gutter for a moment!" Shouting a little too loud at him snapping her sons attention who tried to rest in his room above the kitchen.

"Sorry hun…" He dejectedly trailed off.

"Any way do you think it was a good Idea to have her here of all places…I know this means a lot to the Hokage but it is stressing our family." Her husband gave her a stupefied gaze.

"Didn't we go over this with Tsunade a few days ago?, besides that Naruto kid there's no one else she will open up with so this is the best option since he isn't here right now." Still keeping some sence in his drunken stupor.

"Yes your right hunny and besides I think a family setting might do her some good." Letting her cheeks brush up against his rough face.

"Ohh and whys that dear? He asked while brushing his face gently against hers.

"A lot of Sounds occupants are dejected people with no where else to go, that's why that Orochimaru takes them in, I cant help but wonder how long she has been living that life." Her tone becoming a little sad remembering the confused look she got from Tayuya's face when she looked at her.

"Now now dear you know it isn't wise to sympathies with the enemy, that will only complicate things further and put you in risk." His hands now making an unwelcome but uninterrupted advance up her shirt taking hold of his wife's firm breasts much to her surprise.

"N-not now hunny!, Shikamaru might come down or heaven forbid that Tayuya girl, what would they think if they saw us acting like this!" She squirmed under his intoxicated embrace.

"Huh…? Ohh I'm sorry dear." He let up on his grouping to a soft fondle.

"What am I gonna do with you I swear…sometimes I feel like I have two children in this house sometimes." Huffing with a flustered face while her cheeks became red.

"But now we do have two kids in the house…" He responded as a matter-of-fact kind of way after giving it some thought.

"That's exactly what I mean and besides hunny…" Taking a moment to pause and place her hands over his to move them off her breast for a moment. "If the whole point of having her here is to help her join the leaf then shouldn't we try and sympathies with her and get to know her a little more then just being an enemy from our enemy village?" Letting her kind concern fill her words so her husband would understand better.

"I guess your right dearest but I suck with dealing with kids…hell half the time I don't think I'm doing a good job with our own son so I am gonna leave all that male bonding to you with her." Not realizing he just called his wife and Tayuya spending time together "Male bonding" in his own intoxicated speech.

Normally his wife would have belittled him for such a statement but he was putting her in a "good" mood and he did mean well by it so she decided she would let it slid this once today since he was already going back to grouping her cupcakes in a very pleasing manner.

"Y-your r-right hun, I should s-spend time with her since she d-does...Hey not so rough!" She shouted at him for suddenly squeezing a little too tightly for her enjoyment which made Shikamaru groan and turn over in his bed at hearing his parents act so immature especially while they had a felon in the house.

"Sorry hun…" Giving her an apologetic kiss on her neck.

"Like I was saying…" Letting her flustered face regroup for a moment so she could finish her sentence. "She reminds me of myself way back when we first decided to date."

"Heh yeah I guess your right about that Yoshino dear." Planting a few more kisses against her neck remembering the good old days.

"Ohh and how's that hun?" A little intrigued herself as to what he thought.

"Well I took at peek at her in her room before I came down and she sleeps the same way you used to back then, she even has that same little drool trai-!" He was silenced by a sharp elbow to his gut by his loving wife who's face was ten times redder then before.

"…Doghouse?" He inquired nervously.

"Doghouse!" She shouted back, her face still incredibly red as he just ruined their intimate moment together completely with that comment.

Rejected he let go of his wife and made his way into the living room and got himself comfortable on the couch since now it was where he would be sleeping tonight.

On the other side of town the great sannin Hokage Tsunade made her way out of Naruto's apartment after getting Kuroshi familiar with it and also asking him more questions about the state of his village, his connection to Tayuya, the whereabouts of his brother and why he had impersonated a Leaf ninja during the raid of Orochimaru's base.

The answers he had given were going to make her have a long long conversation with her assistant Shizune and as well bring up matters before the counsel on many of the matters, but for tonight those things were going to have to wait.

"You better have that dammed Sake Shizune or a swear your gonna have to deal with this shit!" She shouted out into the empty street causing Shizune who had already fallen asleep in her own bed to wake up suddenly feeling an aura of dread in the air.

Meanwhile inside the house Kuroshi was getting used to the new setting as well as all the junk and scrolls Naruto had all over his house.

"This doesn't surprise me in the least for someone like him heheh…Kamui you can show your self now those ANBU can't see you from where you are." He turn looking at a cabinet as its shape slowly blurred and distorted and a hunched figure materialized in front of it.

"I gotta love your Environmental Jutsu, even the Hokage her self didn't notice you were here the whole time, heh nicely done!" He gestured a bow in his custom fashion to his brother who cracked his neck and joints from being still so long.

"…Was it wise…to…tell that one…so much…brother?" His broken speech being slightly muffed out from him speaking in nearly a whisper.

"It doesn't really matter Kamui, she only has our word and the only other person who might know the truth is the last person she would ever think to ask, so as long as we stick to what I told her she will never suspect any farther." Motioning hands in a comforting way while his hooded brother slouched across Naruto's living room area looking over all the trash and Jutsu notes.

Kamui only let out a slight grunt and continued looking around and grabbed a fruit off a table.

"Lets see what dear Naruto-kun left us to eat as well as learn a few of these Jutsu." The grey haired teen continued taking one of the custom written scrolls and read it off as "Sexy Jutsu" before considering what it could possibly do.


Yup a ShikakuxYoshino pairing, a last minute idea that came to me in the wee hours of the morn and im happy how it came out since i had intended to not even introduce Shikaku in this chapter to begin with but i am glad i did if. You all can bet on seeing more of it as the story progresses aswell as other pairings.
