A/n: Yeah it has come to my attention that there is no way that I can describe what everyone else was doing while Kunairu and Kitaru were at the restraunt. Also I have not finished the restraunt scene. For all of this I am very sorry. I also have remembered that I do not update or write upon a schedual. For that I am also very sorry. I'll try to better myself so that I will be worthy of any of your respect, and also for anyone reading any of my stories. And to those of you who actually read these things, thank you for your patience and for reading my mindless mumblings. I am not worthy.
I have also realized that I cannot go through a whole weekend without working on some story or another.

Chapter 9 1/2- She's Back- What Are You Doing Here? remixed past
"So," She began, laying here cards on the table. There was a pair of aces and a pair of kings with a queen in her hand.
"So..." He repeated, trying to irritate her. It worked and she gave a small glare at him from across the table. She was in her original outfit, from earlier when they had first entered the establishment. He gave a little laugh from her glaring at her. "Alright, what's going on? This time I want the truth. None of that shit about saving the planet from an army of rabid ninja gerbils.(1)"
She smiled, "I believe I said Monkeys, but no matter. Anyway, The boss is going to be sending agents to recapture you. They're going to target the angels soon, and well, everyone realizes that they can't do so without you, Kyuubi, and Shukaku. I of course, with my loyality to only you, decided that my former partner deserved to know about this new, uhh, devolopment." She placed a hand over his. He shook it off and gave a little smirk.
Laying down his cards, his smirk grew, "Royal flush. Spades. I win." He raised his hand and grabbed all of the money that was laid out in front of him.
She slapped his hand impaitently, "Kitaru, please, I know you, stop avoiding the issue." Kitaru looked into her eyes, searching for any lie. All he found was sincerity, and sadness. Also he found the beginnings of tears. Closing his eyes, he sighed heavily.
"Alright. Kunairu, please don't cry. It's odd to see you cry. I'm not going to forfeit, if they want to play then I'm going to play with them. Only it's going to be on my terms." He thought for a second, and let go of her hands, then his eyes brightened up, She watched silent, waiting fo his reaction. He was always the one making up the plans, she only carried them out.
She smiled and thought of when she first met him... It was a long time ago, when they were all living in the orphanage. He had everyone wrapped around his finger then...
/:/ "Everyone, Boys and Girls!!" The nun called out, making most of the small childern look toward her. Kunairu's soft shaded green eyes scanned the crowd stopping, though, when a black haired child in the back who caught her eyes looked up and grinned. "This is Kunairu-chan, please be nice to her."
The kid from earlier smiled and yelled out in the back, "Hi Kunairu chan, it's a pleasure to meet you!" The kids all started to shout out the same phrase, which made her blush. The nun nodded satisfied that the new black haired girl would be welcomed into the small building. The boy from earlier made his way up to the front effortlessly, which would have been expected seeing how the crowd parted like the red sea for him. He stopped in front of her and stuck out his left hand, "My name's Kitaru, it's nice to meet you Kunairu chan." He spoke elegantly, which was quite surprising coinsidering his young age. He flashed her a soft grin, "Would you like to play with us?"
She gave a hesitant smile and nodded, his grin widened as he took her hand. dragging her away from the nun he pointed to the others he was playing with.
"That's my cousin Naruto Uzumaki, and his best friend Gaara Subaku. Gaara's not a orphan like we are, but his father drops him off here and he hangs out with us. Mostly because they're friends from school." He said as he pointed out the blonde child with whisker marks, and the small redhead. "Now we have other friends but only at school. Unfortunally, we go to a private school on full scholarship. So you probably won't meet them." He gave a warm smile, "Oh well it's not like Naru or I want you to, Sasu-chan would probably steal you away from us." She blushed, but watched him as he spoke. "Okay now to the simple problem of sneaking out. Any Ideas?" SHe didn't speak, instead she watched them throwing out ideas, trying to figure the best way out.
"Hmm... what about the hole in the wall behind the kitchen?" -Naruto
"They caught on to that one. It's closed." -Gaara
"Fine, the hedge?" -Naruto
"Nope, last time it took too much effort to explain away the bruises that we got from that." -Kitaru
"Besides we wouldn't want to hurt the girl." -Gaara
"Yeah, there's that." -Kitaru
"Hey, I got it what about the kitchen roof?" -Naruto
"Perfect, Naruto! Now to distract the Sisters." -Gaara
"I've got it! Hey, Koka-chan, Yoko-chan," He left to talk to the two dark haired children. She could see that they both nodded and ran to the middle of the playground. One of them started to cry loudly, and the other started a fight with another child. The effect was instant, with the Sisters running to the rescue.
Kunairu felt the gentle tugging on her arm so she turned and saw Kitaru with his finger to his lips. He motioned away and she felt him pulling her to a building with the roof pretty low to the ground. Naruto and Gaara were already on it and reached out their hands to help her on. Kitaru was roight behind her and lifted her onto the roof.
They hurried along the roof and got to a point that was directly above the next building over. Kitaru and Gaara lowered themselves onto the roof, and motioned for Naruto to lead Kunairu foward until they could grab her hands and lift her onto the platform. She gave a hesitant smile, and Kitaru smirked back. Then they both helped Naruto onto the next roof. This process was repeated five more times till they got to the ground.
Kitaru smiled and led them out into the street, before running straight into some man. The guy glared but kept walking, so when they were next to strangers, Kitaru pulled his hands out of his pockets witht he guy's wallet. Kunairu's eyes widened, but said nothing. Naruto ran up to him, "How much?"
"33,000 ryo.(2) Damn he's stupid for having that much on him at once. Oh look a gift card!" They were looking through his wallet. She only felt a little uncomfortable, but soon got over it when they grabbed her hand. "We need to get you some new clothes, those ones look awful." Kitaru said, all her fears melted away with the growth of his smile. He turned away toward Naruto and engaged into a leagthy conversation with him about the powers of Budda.
She closed her eyes, "How can you do something like that?" Her voice stopped all of them in their tracks. They turned and looked at her, watching her intently, making her very uncomfortable. "Never mind, forget I said anything..."
"Why should we? You have a beautiful voice." Naruto said with a calm certainty. The other two nodded ferverntly. "I think you should use it more, besides, you saw something wrong with how we operate, right?" She nodded her head, slightly flustered, "Hell, we all know it's wrong, but still we'll do it."
"But why?" She asked. Her curiosity was piqued and it needed to be satisfied. Kitaru smiled.
"Because the orphanage doesn't really have enough funds for alot of things, so Naru and I will willingly go hungry so that the younger kids will have something to eat. We do this-" Here he motioned to himself and the wallet still cradled in his hand, "because we need it to survive. You haven't been here long enough to know. You'll find out. Besides the nuns never give a second look at the state of our clothes as long as we are wearing them."
"Oh, okay." She nodded satisfied with the response to her questions. They walked in slience for a bit and then suddenly she looked up from her shoes, "Could you teach me how to do that?" The three boys rounded on her.
"What?" They asked in unison.
"You know that. That thing that Kitaru-kun had done?"
"Okay, I guess we could..." Kitaru looked away, his finger on his bottom lip.
"Yea!" She started to celebrate and all of the boys looked at one another and shrugged.
Naruto smiled, opening his mouth to speak. "(3)Now listen up
You've got a lot to learn
And if you don't learn you don't eat
But if you're tough
And always use your head
You'll feel right at home on the street
When you've got talent ev'rything is free
Watch how we do things, oooh, I guarantee" The note lasted long and he turned to laugh.
"You're gonna see how the best survive
We make an art out of staying alive" kitaru sang sweetly. They both grabbed her hand dragging her while Gaara pushed her from behind.
"If you do just as you're told
These are streets of gold
Ev'ry boulevard is a miracle mile
You'll take the town and you'll take it with style
If you play it brave and bold
These are streets of gold" Kitaru finished as they reached a fancy looking store. Giving a quick glance at one another Kitaru let go opf her hand. He walked in and as he made his way to the dressing rooms in the back he pulled out a couple of dresses and girl clothes. Tehn he threw them toward her, wihch she caught in surprise. Naruto and Gaara disappeared and found some more clotehs, they all pushed her toward the room, urging her to try them on.
"To live from week to week
You need technique
So you practice ev'ry day
The only rule is:
Thou shalt not get caught
Get what you can and then get away
Remember all the places you can hide
Remember we are always on your side" Gaara sang to her over the room door, while Naruto picked up on the chorus.
"You're gonna see how the best survive
We make an art out of staying alive
If you do just as you're told
These are streets of gold
Ev'ry boulevard is a miracle mile
You'll take the town and you'll take it with style
If you play it brave and bold
These are streets of gold"
Kitaru smirked and moved a couple of the dresses under an other. Kunairu wasn't to see, so they all moved to the counter, they paid and left.
"When you've got talent ev'rything is free
Watch how you do things, oooh, I guarantee" The black haired child sang while pulling out the dresses, and shoving one at her they waited till she was done dressing before Kitaru took one of the dresses and disguised himself as a girl.
"You're gonna see how the best survive
We make an art out of staying alive" Naruto and Gaara smirked, and while Kitaru and Kunairu distracted everyone, they both stole a couple of people's purses, from the park they were at.
"If you do just as you're told
These are streets of gold
Ev'ry boulevard is a miracle mile
You'll take the town and you'll take it with style
If you play it brave and bold
These are streets of gold" They ended with a sweeping bow.
"Remember to make sure everything you do is on accident and never take their credit cards. People have better ways of tracking down that lately." Kitaru said later when they were sitting on the rail at the bolevard near the ocean. The salty sea breeze made the three boys Kunairu was with look like angels.
\:\
She was musing quietly. Her best friend and her only love was watching her. He'e gotten bored and started to snap his fingers in front of her face. She'd broken out of her daze and offered a hesitant smile to him.
"Honestly Kunairu, you really should pay more attention." He laughed while he spoke this, pointing to her hand which was currently resting in a bowl of flan pudding.
She blushed and hurriedly moved to wipe off her hand, before he caught it and licked a small part off. Their eyes met, and he picked up his cloth napkin and wiped her hand tenderly. He was paying no heed to her rapidly burning red cheeks. She didn't say anything for fear she might embaress herself.
He realeased her hand and watched a guy across the restraunt, and caught his eye. Kitaru started to lick his straw in a inappropriete manner, so he was delighted when the guy blushed and turned back to his girlfriend. So he turned back to the girl sitting across from him, with a thoughtful frown on her face. "Anyway, Kunairu the plan is to let them make the first move, and to wait till they decide that we surender before bursting out and showing them up. Then we'd have to take out the shakiest parts before going after Shian and making him pay."
"Yes of course, Basic combat class I, 'Take out the weakest parts before trying on the big man.'" Kunairu said smiling. He nodded and turned to the waitress who came up to them.
"Excuse me! But there's this guy who wanted me to give you-" She motioned to Kitaru, while Kunairu rolled her eyes, and pulled out a small piece of paper with a number on it, "This. He said that you two sould go out sometime, and to point him out to you." The dark haired waitress rolled her eyes and flipped her hair back, pointing to the guy that Kitaru had been messing with throughout the meal he was sharing with Kunairu.
"Thanks Nette-chan, but I can't accept it. So could you tell him that if he wants a dirty little secret, or a one night stand he'd have to look somewhere else." The waitress was delighted, and they smiled at one another.
When she walked away in order to tell the guy off for Kitaru, said blonde turned back to his best friend, and continued their converation. "Very good, you paid attention to those classes! But back to the matter at hand, If nothing goes according to plan then we'd just have to wing it."
"You're just to lazy to plan anything aren't you?" She said smiling, and he nodded.
"There's that, and plus if it does all go to plan, then all the time spent on the other plan would all be for naught. Wouldn't it?" He grinned and she glared at him. "Now let's go before that break-up becomes more violent and that girl decideds to start throwing punches at me." He motioned to the guy that had hit on him through the waitress. Nette, Miran, and the redhead they call Mari, as well as the bunny costume clad girl Nette called Jessi, were all tryign to keep the fight from becoming more violent and breaking the stuff in the restraunt.
Kunairu had to stiffen her laughter as they walked right by them, and the guy's eyes followed her best friend. Then try to pay for their meal up front, only to find out that the guy who hit on Kitaru had already paid for it.
They both shared a look and burst through the doors laughing their asses off. It was turning out to be an odd night.
~*~
Just as Kitaru and Kunairu were leaving the restraunt, Sasuke and Naruto were in Naruto's bedroom getting down and dirty. In a totally clean sense of the word anyway. In other words they were just making out, not having sex, so when Kakashi knocked at the door they were able to straighten themselves out easily. The door opened and Kakashi walked through.
He gave a nod of acknoledgement to Sasuke before turning to Naruto. "Naruto, make sure Kitaru and Kunairu, if she's going to be staying over, get in before dawn. I'm locking the doors, and turning on the burgaler alarm, so make sure that Kitaru has his key. Okay, and please, if you're going to do something, be quiet about it."
Naruto flushed while Sasuke smirked, and the blonde threw a pillow at his adolptive father, "Pervert!"
"I'm sure Sasuke has protection with him so I won't warn you guys about that," Kakashi continued, unabashed by his son's actions.
"GET OUT!!" Naruto shouted completely red from his father's teasing.
"Okay fine, just remember keep it down." Kakashi left quickly so as to not get hit in the head by the crystal ordiment that hit the door frame once he closed the door.
Once he left Naruto buried his face in Sasuke's shoulder. "Is it just me, or did your dad just give me permisson to de-virgintize you?" Sasuke spoke in to his boyfriend's hair. Naruto eeped and buried his face further.
Lifting his chin, Sasuke pressed his lips to Naruto's in a warm kiss. Slowly he led the small blonde to sit on his lap. Wrapping his arms around his tiny blonde's waist, he parted his lips enough to lick Naruto's bottom lip, asking for permission. It was granted, of course, and they spent the time exploring each other's mouths to their hearts desire, only breaking for air when needed. Other than that they stayed glued to each other's lips.
About thirty minutes later, they both heard the door downstairs open and close, and broke apart. Naruto's cheeks flushed pink and both were panting slightly from the intensity of the kiss. "Yo! Tadaima!" Kitaru's voice carried up the stairs and Naruto's eyes widened. He jumped up, off his boyfriend and the bed, and ran to the door.
Opening it he shouted down to him, "The Alarm!"
Kitaru got it and ran to the alarm and disengaged it. Smiling at a job well done, he cheered slightly. All the while, Sasuke came up behind Naruot and wrapped his arms around his boyfriend's waist once more. Kitaru smiled warmly, and gave them both the cheesy peace sign. Kunairu laughed, bringing attention to herself.
Sasuke turned to her and glared. Naruto glanced hesitantly at his boyfriend, worried because the beginning of their date consited more of Sasuke's worried ramblings and insistant questions upon Kunairu's character.
He really was cute sometime. It reminded the blonde of a father giving away his only daughter to be married.
Naruto only snapped out of his thoughts when Kunairu called out to him, "Oi Naruto, where's Gaara-chan?"
"He doesn't live here with me. He lives with his brother and sister in town," Naruto said calmly, thinking a bit, "Why?"
"Because I haven't seen you gusy in like forever and I've got some pretty big news! ReiOniichan wants to come to visit!" She said excitedly, but Naruto's eyes got pretty big, he knew what that meant. "Oh, and he's also going to bring some of his friends! He wants to see you and Gaara and Kitaru!!" He could tell he started to tense up, because Sasuke started to rub his hip and kiss his neck softly.
ReiOnii-chan was their name for 'The Boss,' when they didn't want anyone else to suspect what was up. Naruto knew that he needed the three of them, but it seemed like they'd just finally get to be happy, and then he had to wreak it. Like yesterday at the fair, he couldn't believe it all was going to end so quickly.
"Oh don't worry Naru, Kunairu told me all about this over some pasta and iced tea. ReiOnii-chan's going to stay at the house, and we'd visit him as soon as he sends someone to get us." Kitaru said, and somehow all the tension and worry that was building up, just vanished. Naruto sent a quick smile to them. Kitaru was always talented at keeping everyone calm. It was like how talented Gaara was at making everyone fear him.
"No problem then. Just warn me when he sends one of his 'friends' over. Okay?" Naruto said, slightly giddy, and eager to burn off steam.
"Okay, just be quiet. I'm gonna set up the guest bedroom for Kunairu before I hit the hay." Kitaru said nonchalantly, looking at his cousin over his shoulder, because he had to put his coat away. Kunairu stifled a giggle.
"Why does everyone keep saying that?!" Naruto exclaimed, his face red.
Sasuke smirked, as Kitaru replied calmly, "I can hear you through the wall when ever Sasu-chan comes over." They all grinned when Naruto became a brighter red.
Smiling Kunairu walked upstairs, "Don't worry, Naruto, I'm pretty sure you can't be that loud." Sasuke glared at her and pulled Naruto into the confines of the dark blue room.
Turning to his boyfriend and once more burying his face into his shoulder, they could both hear Kitaru's call of 'Sweet Dreams.' Then the resuilting giggles from them through the door.
"Why is she here?" Sasuke asked Naruto frowning. He still didn't trust her being here and showing up at the moment that he needed answers from Naruto and Kitaru the most. This made it all the more difficult to ask them about what had happened yesterday at the fair, and why they left in such a hurry.
"She's Kitaru's closest friend and confident." Naruto said softly. He snuggled closer to Sasuke's warmth, pulling him back to the bed. He was really getting tired of their teasing, though it wasn't as bad as it used to be back then. "Besides, she really isn't that bad. She makes us all happy and feel normal. So please don't worry too much."
Naruto smiled softly and pulled Sasuke into another kiss. He immeadiatly parted his lips so as to give Sasuke enterance to his mouth. They battled tounges fighting for dominance, groping to gain the upper hand. It wasn't till Sasuke climbed on top of the blonde that Naruto started to show submissiveness.
He pulled Sasuke foward till he was on his back under his boyfriend and was facing him. Smiling Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck, and pulled him down enough to kiss his lips. "I love you, Sasuke. Even if yiu are a bastard."
The raven smiled back, making Naruto gasp softly, before he replied, "I love you too, even if you are a dobe." Their lips met in a chaste kiss and Sasuke shifted to the side, laying next to Naruto. The blonde reached over his boyfriend, and turned off the lamp, and Sasuke wrapped his arms around Naruto's waist.
Naruto closed his eyes as he felt his love press small kisses against his cheeks, eyes, and his forehead, until their lips pressed against each other.
"Goodnight, my Teme."
"Goodnight my Dobe."
