Laura

"No. Freaking. Way," I muttered, putting the scroll down, "We're part of a prophecy?"

"Apparently," Tsunade said.

"That was our reaction after finally believing her," Emily added.

"This is awesome! And the Elemental Daughter of Kami – no matter how long it is – that name's so awesome!"

"Who knew we were twins?" Emily asked.

"When are the others coming back from their trip?" I asked.

"Hey, guys!" Adliani came running into Tsunade's office, her hand in Kiba's.

"Does it ever occur to anyone to just knock anymore?" She sighed.

"Hey, you're alive, Laura!" She exclaimed.

"Oh, ha-ha," I muttered.

"Are Rebecca and Claudia coming back anytime soon?" Emily asked.

"Doubt it," Tsunade replied, "Now please, get out. Kiba, I'll take the mission report now."

"Right. Here."

-x-

"Why were you holding his hand when you came into Tsunade's office?" I asked.

"Uh… I was?"

"Yeah, you were," Emily replied.

"Oh."

"Oh, I get it," I smirked, "You're secretly dating."

"What? No!"

I looked skeptically at her, stuffing a bit of ramen into my mouth.

"Okay, okay," She sighed, "The missing nin we were trying to get to Konoha almost killed Kiba. I ran after him, killed him – with Sue's help, I guess – and…it all went off from there."

"Sue?" I asked.

"Apparently she had a mission in the Mist," Ad shrugged, "But she didn't want to return to Konoha with me. Something about finishing a few things."

I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Oh, hi, Gaara," I greeted, "What brings you here."

"I'm here with Naruto."

Over the past time we spent together, I actually managed not to get myself killed. Maybe we even became…not exactly friends, but something like that, I guess. He was also a nice guy – did I mention he's not that bad on the eyes, either?

"Have a nice dinner, Gaara."

"That's Kazekage to you, Laura," I could see a small smirk grace his lips and a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Then it's Miss Rock-your-socks-off to you, Sir Kazekage," I rolled my eyes.

He snorted, returning to his small table with Naruto.

"You were flirting." Emily smirked.

"No we weren't," I shook my head, "We always have those kinds of conversations."

"Whatever," Adliani shrugged, "Miss Rock-your-socks-off."

"Hn."

I wasn't actually flirting with him, was I?

Rebecca- Two weeks later

"Ugh," I groaned, "Shut up, Sasuke!"

"What?" He smirked, "It's not my fault you thought Neji was gay."

"You were the one who told me he liked bananas!" "And I meant it. It's not my fault you thought the other meaning, Rebecca."

Naruto snickered.

"And you, Mutt's girlfriend," Sasuke turned to Ad, "I thought you could do better."

"Watch it, loser," She growled.

"Emily's so short and tiny, too," Naruto said, trying to get some fun in, too, "And Laura's got an infatuation with Gaara."

Heh, I don't think I could argue there…

"Not to mention Claudia is the epitome of laziness," Sasuke added.

"Would you shut up?!" Claudia threw her bento box at them.

"Hn, losers," Sasuke snorted, walking off to finish his lunch.

"Hey, wait up, teme!" Naruto called, running off as well.

"Assholes," Adliani muttered, "Insulting Kiba like that."

Emily growled as well.

"Ad," Emily began, "Do you remember the SasuNaru pictures you sent us?"

"Oh, I remember that," I groaned, "I still haven't figured out how to delete them from my ipod."

"I have them in my ipod, too," Laura agreed.

"Would it be ironic if I said I did, too?" Claudia added.

"Naturally, I do, too." Ad said.

"It's time for payback," Emily said.

I suddenly smirked.

"I think I get where you're going with that trail of thought," I said, taking out my ipod.

"Show the pics to everyone in the village," Laura instructed.

"See? Those pictures turned out to be useful after all," Adliani grinned.

"Yeah, for once."

-x-

"Hey, Kakashi!" Claudia called.

"What, Claudia-san, Rebecca-san?" He asked, putting down his book. We were currently in the ramen stand.

"Sasuke and Naruto are gay!" I yelled loudly, getting everyone's attention.

He spit his ramen out.

"W-what?"

"We even have proof!" Claudia showed them a very real looking picture of Sasuke and Naruto kissing.

"Oh, my, Kami!" He exclaimed, "Sasuke and Naruto really are gay!"

Claudia smirked, running off, pulling me with her.

"Hey, Neji!" Claudia yelled.

"Yes?"

"Did you hear that Uchiha and Uzumaki are gay?" I asked nonchalantly, "They're secretly together."

Neji arched his eyebrow a bit, smirking.

"Really?" He asked, "Always knew Uchiha was gay – never thought he'd go for Uzumaki no baka, though."

"Well, it's true," Claudia nodded. "Well, bye."

"Sakura, Ino, wait up!" I yelled, pulling Claudia over to them.

"What now?" Sakura sighed.

"Oh, hey, guys," Ino smiled.

Did I mention that we all liked Ino more than Sakura? No? Ah, whoops.

"Did you hear the thing about Sasuke and Naruto?" Claudia asked.

"What thing about Sasuke and Naruto?" Sakura and Ino repeated.

"They're gay!"

"NO WAY!" Sakura yelled. Ino fainted.

"I don't believe you!" Sakura glared at us.

I whipped out my ipod, showing her the picture. "How 'bout now, Miss Pinky?" I smirked.

Our only reply was a loud thump as she hit the ground.

"I think she fainted," I said.

"No shit, Sherlock," Claudia rolled her eyes.

"I think that's everyone, right?" I asked, ignoring her insult.

"Yeah," She nodded, "Now what?"

"Now we hide at home," I replied, "They're gonna try to kill us after this."

Sasuke

I walked down the streets of Konoha aimlessly, drowning out Naruto's loud voice.

"Oi! Sasuke, Naruto!" Kakashi yelled.

"What?" I asked.

"Why didn't you tell me?!" He asked, offended.

"Tell you what?" Naruto asked dumbly.

"That you were together!" He exclaimed.

"We're not gay," I replied, my eye twitching, "What are you talking about?"

"No need to lie!" He rolled his visible eye, "Rebecca-san and Claudia-san showed me a picture of you together ten minutes ago!"

Excuse me?

"WE'RE NOT GAY, KAKASHI!" Naruto yelled, "Who told you that?!"

…Idiot…

I walked off, my shoulders hunched.

Those girls were dead.

"Uchiha."

I turned around, recognizing the voice.

"Hyuuga."

"I've always suspected you were gay," Neji smirked wickedly, "But I never thought you'd go so low as to stick to Naruto."

"Go to hell, Hyuuga. I'm not gay."

"Have fun with Naruto," He laughed to himself, "I hope you find your life fulfilling with Uzumaki no Baka."

I scowled, walking off. Those girls were going to die a slow and painful death. Especially that Rebecca.

"Sasuke-kun! Sasuke-kun!" I heard the voices of my fan club's leaders. I sighed, mentally preparing myself.

"We just talked to Rebecca and Claudia!" Sakura yelled.

Of course.

"Hn."

"They told us you were gay!" Ino added, "Is it true?"

"No, it can't be true!" Sakura glared at Ino, "How could you think that? How could you believe a bunch of idiotic girls' gossip?!" "They had proof!" Ino argued, "Sasuke-kun is it true?"

"No. Now go away." I replied, walking off as fast and as civilly as I could.

I spotted their home, seeing Emily sneak in and movement from the front window.

They were definitely hiding.

I scaled the back of the house, jumping through Rebecca's open window.

"Ah!" She exclaimed, surprised.

"You are the spawn of Satan, do you know that?"

"Oh, why thank you!" She mocked, "But…please, leave."

"You told everyone Naruto and me were gay."

"Correction, we told everyone you were gay," She replied, inching backwards toward her door.

"Not so fast," I gripped her wrist.

"Ah! Help!" She yelled, "Sasuke's gonna kill me!"

"Count on it."

"Damn it, where are my friends when I need them?!" She muttered.

She tripped me, running out of the room and closing the door, locking me in her room.

I paced around her room, not feeling like leaving. I examined her window sill, and sat down on it. I wasn't going to leave until I got my revenge.

On second thought, I thought to myself, examining her bland room, I'll get them tomorrow at training.

Rebecca

"Guys," I panted, "Sasuke is in my room right now."

"We heard you," Claudia said, "But we were too afraid he might kill us, too."

That's…not helping.

On second thought, Sasuke thought, I'll get her tomorrow at training.

"He thinks I'm the devil incarnate…so…I guess…" I sighed, "He'll kill us tomorrow."

"Where do you think Sue is?" Ad changed the subject.

"Mission," Laura shrugged; she didn't seem affected by the fact that Sasuke was going to kill us. Oh, that's 'cause she had the high and mighty Kazekage to back her up. Hmph.

"It's been two weeks since we got here," Claudia said, "And Adliani came a few days before us. No sign of Sue…"

"Are you saying something went wrong?" I asked, worry taking over.

"Maybe," She shrugged, "But…Sue can handle herself. She's a Daughter of Kami, after all."

Somehow, gut feeling told me that was wrong.

Sue

"Ugh, this is boring," I sighed, pulling at the chain that held me to the wall.

Training was brutal with Kisame, Itachi and last but not least:

Pein.

Why were they training me, anyway? I don't think I was going to stay, if I had a choice.

"Hello, Sue," Pein greeted.

"Hn," I grunted.

"Dinner is served," He passed me my dinner, "Being a Daughter of Kami…." He trailed off, thinking.

"I've only known for a few weeks," I mumbled.

"And why is that?" He asked.

"Hokage told me," I replied, "Right before I got this mission."

"And your sisters…"

I tensed.

"They're not in Konoha."

"Then where?" He asked.

I shrugged. "Last time I talked to them," I lied, "One was in the Mist, three in the Rock, and the others in the Grass."

Could Pein tell that I was lying? Nothing showed, I guess.

"Be up early, tomorrow," He instructed, "Tomorrow you may bathe, and you get your lesson with me."

"Whatever."

"Good night," he said seriously, "We shall find your sisters."

"Good luck with that," I retorted, "They'll kick your ass."

"If they're anything like how I did with you," He smirked, "It'd be easy."

Hey, I had a reason: He caught me off guard. Any other day, I could have totally taken him!
