Chapter.10: Let it Rain
Last time
"Today will now be known for yet another great moment for our village. I am happy to announce the engagement between my own daughter, Haruno Sakura, and the village's own Uchiha Sasuke!" The crowd went wild at the thought of the once great Uchiha clan coming back, but there were three there that were stunned. However, not as stunned as Sakura was herself.
Ino and Naruto just looked at their pink haired teammate in shock. What they saw was a mixture of emotions on her face; confusion, fear, anger, betrayal, and beyond all that, sadness.
"You had no idea, did you?" Anko stated more than asked.
"Sakura?" Ino said softly
Back on the stage, Sasuke took a place next to the head of the Haruno clan, before looking over the crowd. His eyes landed on Naruto, and the blond knew it. "Yes, I have agreed to marry Haruno Sakura, and we will begin rebuilding the greatness that is the Uchiha Clan! I feel that Sakura will be the perfect mother to the children I plan on having. To properly rebuild my clan, I will also be taking an additional 7 wives, each of which I will, to the best of my ability, love equally." To the crowd, Sasuke's speech came from the heart. To Naruto, Ino, Anko, Hana and Sakura, all the speech meant was that Sakura was going to be his slave.
Naruto was fighting with everything he had to keep from releasing Kyuubi's Chakra, while Ino was shaking with barely controlled rage, and sorrow. Sakura then said something that rocked them both to the core. "Ino, I'm glad I was able to get to you know you again…I got my sister back after all those years, and Naruto, I'm sorry we didn't have more time together. Anko-Sensei, I wasn't your student for long, but I did learn a lot from you. Thank you for everything, and… good bye." Sakura's words were slow, soft, and happy. Once she finished speaking, she moved through the throng of people with a warm smile on her face.
Once she was on stage, she placed a genteel hand on Sasuke's shoulder, which caused him to raise his eye brow at her actions. Sakura wore a radiant smile as she turned to the crowd. "When I was younger, I always dreamed of marrying Sasuke. So, I guess this is what you would call a dream come true. I also looked forward to having children one day, so everyone please believe me when I say, you have no idea how much this opportunity means to me." With that, Sakura's hand snakes further around Sasuke's shoulder as she pulled him forward, and drove her knee as hard as she could into his groin, lifting the boy a foot from the ground before swinging around and delivering a closed right fist into her mother's jaw, her momentum carried her elbow the rest of the way, finishing the job by driving the older pinkette to the stage floor. "I will have nothing to do with the Uchiha!" she yelled out with a firm voice before storming to the edge of the stage.
As Sakura was about to step off the stage, she heard an angry shout. ANBU saw her attacking a fellow leaf Ninja and attacking a member of the counsel, so went to intercept her.
Sakura knew full well what she was doing, and knew that she wouldn't get away with it. So, she was not surprised to see a couple of ANBU land next to her. However, she was surprised when a smoke bomb went off at her feet, making the ANBU's weapons leap, almost unbidden, to their hands. As the smoke started to clear, people could see three separate silhouettes milling about. When the smoke was completely gone, many were confused, angry or shocked. Sakura was in the confused category, because standing to the left of her were two more Sakuras.
"What are you two doing?" all three Sakuras said at the same time.
"That is enough! Sakura, drop those clones now!" the irate Haruno matriarch yelled as she staggered back to her feet. When the Sakuras just stood there, one of the ANBU made a ram sign and tried to drop the clones, or henge, or whatever it may be, but nothing happened. "Sakura, your friends are only making it worse for you. Now, tell them to go."
"Get out of here now! I knew what I was doing when I said my goodbyes! Now go!" yelled all three Sakuras at the same time again.
"That's it! ANBU, take all three into custody!" The animal masked shinobi glanced from the shouting woman to the Hokage, unsure of how to proceed. Reluctantly the elderly man nodded before the group pressed in closer, blocking their potential escape.
"The deal is off!" gasped a pissed off Uchiha, before limping off the stage.
'That bitch is going to pay for this,' thought the older Haruno.
"Miss Haruno, you are out of line. Yes, the actions of Sakura and her team need to be addressed. However, you, as a member of the counsel, have no authority over the disciplinary actions of Ninja of this village. I will see you in my office tonight," an angry Hokage said, making his way into the tower. "Anko, will you join me please?" His voice devoid of mirth.

"I'm going to ask this once. Who was it on the stage?" asked the third Hokage, looking at the three pink haired Genin.
"It was me, lord Hokage. I am ready for any punishment you deem fit," the middle Sakura said.
"No, I was the one. Punish me, Hokage-Sama," the Sakura on the left side said.
"Ok, will you two stop this? I'm not going to let my friends go down for something they did not do," the Sakura to the right said before looking at the Hokage. "I was the one on the stage."
The Hokage just shook his head before shooting Anko a pleading look. "Sorry lord Hokage. I told them that friendship and team work was the key to survival. It would seem they took it to heart," she said, giving a proud smile as she leaned against the wall.
"Then I have no choice. All members of special team Anko will be punished. Naruto, Sakura and Ino, you will be under house arrest for the next week," he said in a low tone.
"Come on, old man! You know damn well that Bastard didn't mean a single word that he said! He was just going to treat Sakura-chan like a slave!" yelled the Sakura on the right.
"Well, at least we know which one is Naruto now," Anko said with a chuckle.
"Ino, will you please turn back now?" the Hokage asked looking over the last two Sakuras.
Naruto made a hand sign, and he and the left Sakura turned back into himself and Ino.
"At least I'm back in my own skin now," Ino said rubbing her arms.
"Naruto, what kind of Henge was that, and why couldn't the ANBU dispel it?" asked the curious old man.
"Well, I used the fox's chakra to do it, and only demonic chakra could remove it," said the worn out blond. "However, it takes a lot out of me to hold it that long."
"What are you so proud of? We're going to be spending the next 168 hours in a cell," Ino said with a cross tone.
"Well, if you two would have just stayed out of my business, you would be enjoying the festivities right now," Sakura shouted with a 'know it all' tone.
"Yea, right. Knowing you could get executed is a great way to have fun," Ino spat.
"I knew what I was doing. I didn't ask for your help, Pig!"
"That's enough!" the Hokage roared silencing Ino's retort. "I will not have petty arguing in my office! Now, Anko, seeing as you are responsible for your students, you will be assigned night guard duty at the north gate for the next month. Am I clear?"
"It's not my…" She was cut off by a glare that could make any ninja rethink their career. "Yes, Hokage-Sama," Anko said with a bow.
"Good. Now take them to room 243, and be at the gate by 8."
Before Anko could respond, a loud scream cut through the door. "Where is she!?" came a loud, shrill cry. The door then slammed open, and in walked an enraged counsel woman. She looked around the room before her eyes locked onto on Sakura. "Do you have any idea what you did, you little bitch?" she yelled, marching up to Sakura before slapping her across the face, to her credit, while her head turned, if anything hey eyes hardened further as her tongue darted out to lap up a bit of blood the blow drew.
Sakura's gaze bored into her mother's. "I did what had to be done. I am not going to stand there and watch you sell me to someone just so you can have a little more power in the counsel," Sakura's voice was steely cold.
Miss Haruno brought her hand back to slap Sakura again, but as she brought her hand down, it was stopped by someone grabbing her wrist.
She turned and saw the dark amber eyes of Anko. "I don't think that's a good idea."
"Why is that?" she asked, ripping her hand free from Anko's grasp.
"Turn around and see for yourself," Anko said, glaring a hole through the woman in front of her.
Haruno turned around to face her daughter, but was met with an icy stare from a set of violent emeralds and two sets of stormy blues. "Fine. I'll take my leave. Before I go, though, I will say this. Sakura, you are hereby banished from the Haruno Clan and family. You are no longer my daughter, and no longer have a place in my home," she said coldly.
"Anko, will you please take them to their room," the Hokage said in a sad voice.
Anko nodded, and started to walk to the door with her students following her, before Sakura stopped, her eyes hidden by her bangs. "Hokage-Sama, may I leave Miss Haruno with a few words?"
"If you must," he answered.
"I will not fight your banishment. However, you must know after you removed Baa-san from the clan, I was the only Ninja of the house. Seeing as I am no longer a Haruno, you lost the clan title, thus losing the funding and power that comes with it. Good bye, mother." Sakura's voice was full of emotion, and she fought to hold back the mirthless laughs that threatened to spill out as she and her team walked out.
The Haruno in the office was in a state of shock as she looked to the Hokage, unsure if what her former daughter had said was true. "She is right, Miss Haruno. The Haruno house is no longer a clan. Thus, you are no longer on the counsel, and are no longer allowed in clan meetings. Now, if you will excuse me I have some work I must attend to
"Lord Hokage, the Haruno are one of the founding families of the Konoha! There has to be some loop hole that would allow me so to keep the clan title!" she said in a panic.
"No, there is no loop hole. You have no ninja in the family, so you are no longer a clan," said Sarutobi, who was starting to get mad.
"Then I will have a real Haruno start the academy tomorrow," she said with a smug look. "Good day, Hokage-Sama."
"Actually," the now happier voice of the aged Kage ringing in her ears, "Due to your past actions and your conduct this evening, I feel that you are only using your position to feed your own greed. Seeing as you have already removed the only ninja from your house, I cannot freely hand you the clan title back to it. So for the Haruno to reclaim clan status, you must have a ninja be on the active roster for 5 years after graduating the academy."
"WHAT?! You can't do that!" yelled the irate woman.
With speed that startled the pink-haired woman the elderly man rose to his feet, his hands slamming onto the desktop hard enough to make the papers jump, "You forget who you are talking to. Now, unless you have a member of your house enter the academy tomorrow, I will remove my offer and see to it that the Haruno will never again claim the title of clan. Do you understand?" he said, no longer playing the games of the woman in front of him.
Without a word, Miss Haruno stormed out of the office, slamming the door behind her.

Walking down the steps to the third basement level, Naruto, Ino, and Sakura followed Anko without saying a word, or seeing the smile on their sensei's face. "You know, I am very proud of all three of you. Ino and Naruto for not letting a friend go at it alone, and for standing by her in her time of need, and Sakura for standing up for yourself and not letting the village's favorite little shit stain do as he pleases. Good job."
"Thanks, Anko-sensei," Naruto said with a small pant.
"Naruto, are you ok?" Ino asked, looking over her fellow blond.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just the fox's Chakra. Holding it like that really drains me."
"It was only five minutes, though," Sakura chimed in.
"I've only just started using it. I'm not used to it yet," Naruto mumbled tiredly.
"Well, here you are. Your home for the next week," Anko said, trying to lighten the mood.
Without a word, Ino, Sakura, and Naruto walked in. "Oh, before I forget. I want you three to think of the punishment I'm going to give you after you're out of here." Anko said in a sing-song voice as she shut and locked the door.
As soon as the door lock clicked, Naruto and Ino were both met with a harsh slap to the face. "What the hell were you thinking?!" yelled an angry Sakura.
"What are you talking about? We couldn't just sit there and watch you throw your life away," Naruto said with a stern voice.
"Well, what now? I have no home and no family. I was planning on going to jail!" Sakura screamed with tears flowing down her cheeks.
"Sakura, I was not going to sit there and watch my sister go to jail, or worse, death. You still have me, and Naruto as well." Ino said, taking Sakura into a tight hug.
"What am I going to do?"Sakura cried into Ino's shoulder. "I have nowhere to go."
"Don't worry. You'll come and stay with me," Ino said rubbing the pink haired girl's back.
"I can sleep on my bed roll and give you the bed, so you can stay with me if you like," Naruto said with a smile.
"Thank you. However, Naruto, I won't sleep in that rat's nest, even you promised me Hinata's head." Both Sakura and Ino started to laugh at that.
"Hey, it's not that bad!" The girls only laughed harder.

Anko just walked out of the tower, and let out a loud sigh as she left. "Well, at least you don't need to teach them team work." Anko looked to her right to see her long time friend and lover.
"I guess you're right. Hey, why aren't you at the festival, Hana?" Anko asked.
"I was on my way there, but I saw what my new favorite Genin did, and thought I would stick around to see what happened."
"Well, because of the quick thinking of blond duo, Sakura is off the hook. Now all three of them are under house arrest for a week, though, and I'm forced to do guard duty at the north gate for a month," Anko said a bit irritated.
"Well, don't worry. I'll keep you company. Plus, after the kids get out, you can force them to train while you're at the gate," Hana said with a smile.
"You know you are turning into me, right?" Anko asked with a smirk.
The Inuzuka rolled her eyes as she threw a arm around her girl's waist, gently guiding her toward the gate, "Tell me something I don't know. Now, let's go,"

The hours passed for the genin in lock down, though they had no idea how long they had been in there. No clock, no window, not even an egg timer. There was nothing for them to use to monitor the passage of time, and they were all doing their own thing to try to stay sane. Ino was crouched down, balancing on the balls of her feet while studying the ceiling, her eyes tracing the cracks in the plaster and making little shapes. Naruto was lying down on his back on the floor, with his legs up against the wall. He had taken a nap, but there was only so much sleep, even for him. Sakura had spent her time laying on one of the two beds, her head hanging over the foot of the bed to stare blankly at the far wall.
"Hey, are you going to be ok, Sakura?" Ino asked looking at Sakura.
"Yeah. The more I think about it, the more I see how much my mother was but except power hungry. I don't think I'll get over the thought of having no family any time soon, though."
"Sakura, I'm not going to sit here and lie to you. I will not say I know how you feel. I will tell you, though, that you are better off now than before," Naruto said in a dead serious tone.
"He's right. She's a bitch, and we all know it. She was only holding you back," Ino said with a smile.
Sakura just gave her friend a smile before rolling off the bed and looking around the room again. The walls were plain white with nothing on them, with only one small couch, a fridge, and a table as furniture. "So, what do we do in here?"
"You're looking at it, forehead," Ino said in a bored tone.
"Well, the walls have seals on them that stops you from molding any Chakra," Naruto said, kicking the hard wall.
"It did help us pass the time. You should have seen yourself fall over and over," Ino said, earning herself a death glare from the other blonde-haired person in the room.
"Well, what about physical training?" Both Ino and Naruto looked at Sakura like she'd grown a second head. "What?" she asked.
Ino blinked owlishly at the pinkette, "You…want to train?" receiving a nod she seemed to think for a moment before shrugging and dropping to the floor to limber up.
Naruto began to bang his head on the ground over and over again. "Why didn't I think of that?" he whined.
Sakura looked to Ino, and saw that she was doing the Yoga that Tsunade had shown them, looking a bit embarrassed. "Well, what do you guys expect? I am the smart one," she said proudly.
"Yeah, whatever you need to tell yourself. Now, are you going to train?" Ino asked in a snide voice.
"Well, I can't let you beat me, now can I, Pig?" Sakura grinned.
Ino sent a glare at Sakura. "What was that, Forehead?"
"What, did you get too much mud in your ears?"
"You want to go, you pink headed bitch?!"
"Bring it on, you flat chested whore!"
"Um, girls? Do you have to fight every day?"
"What was that, fox-boy?!" both of the girls yelled simultaneously.
"Nothing!" Naruto said, and went to go sit in the corner of the room.
The hours went by with more yelling, until they started to compete. Sakura beat Ino in pull-ups, but Ino had won in sit-ups. The duo were brow to brow as a low growl filled the room. They were one to one, and they needed something to break the tie.
The pair's eyes widened as they spotted the blond in the corner who had been watching them with a hint of fear while they sweated.
"Oh Narutoooo," the girls said in a super sweet voice.
Naruto froze, and he slowly meet two sets of burning, half lidded eyes. Slowly, as cats stalking a mouse, the duo moved closer, their hips swaying enticingly as they came to stand before the blonde. Ino turned to show her profile as Sakura dropped to her knees, crawling to Naruto the last few feet before running a finger down his cheek, "Naruto, who do you think has nicer breasts?"
With that question, Naruto's eyes became dinner plates, and blood started to drip from his nose as Sakura and Ino started to push their chests out. His mouth opened and closed a few times, like a fish gasping for water before he slowly slid away from the touch on his cheek before he stuttered out, "I-I-I reserve the right to refuse to answer any and all questions that will lead to my immediate death."
"What? You can't do that! Be a man!" Ino shouted.
"I reserve the right to refuse to answer any and all questions that will lead to my immediate death," he said again, dashing into the bathroom and locked the door. After a minute or two, the girls heard the shower start running. They fell down to the couch laughing.
"That was great," Sakura said, looking to Ino. Sakura saw that she was no longer laughing. "What's up, Pig?"
"I think my dad is planning on hurting Naruto."
"What?" Sakura asked, sitting up.
"Yeah. When Naruto told us how we first met, I remembered everything and the way my dad acted. He ranted days after that, saying why I should stay away from Naruto, and why he was…bad," Ino said while looking at the floor.
"That doesn't mean he's going to hurt Naruto though," Sakura said trying to understand.
"No, but I think this does. After he found out that Naruto was on my team, he went on and on about how he wanted to meet Naruto and have him over to dinner. He's never been this interested in any of my friends before," Ino said, her voice starting to crack. "How am I supposed to choose between my parents and my friend?" she asked, looking Sakura straight in the eye.
"I don't know. However, we can't jump to conclusions, we'll think of something. Until then, all we can do is look out for one another," Sakura said softly. "Besides, only we can beat on him."
"Thanks, Sakura." Ino smiled at her friend for trying to help.
"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" the girls turned to see Naruto walking out of the bathroom, his hair still a little wet, wearing only his pants and collar around his neck.
"Nothing at all," Ino said, looking away with a light blush.
"I was saying how hungry I was," Sakura said getting up and heading to the kitchen, the pinkette utterly missing the twin blushes that set the blonds aglow, did she just say…

Anko and Hana were enjoying themselves. Everywhere they went, they would hear people talking about the opening ceremony. "Gees, how can everyone have a different version of what happened when almost the whole village was there?" Hana asked, shaking her head while she held her Pocky in her hand.
"You're asking me?" Anko asked while taking a bite of her dango. "Hell, did you hear that guy you bought your candy from?"
Hana started laughing again. "Yeah. A nine tailed Naruto rushed the stage, just so he could rape that bitch from the counsel."
She let out a huff of annoyance, missing Hana's snatching of a dango stick, "It pisses me off how stupid people are."
"Well, let's forget that for now. We only have six hours until we have to be at the gate, so let's enjoy ourselves."
Anko looked over to her secret lover. "We?" she smirked.
She just rolled her eyes, "Yeah, yeah, you know I'll keep you company. Now, shut up, and let's go play a game or something."
It wasn't long before Anko and Hana hit up some games. Well, let's just say ninja and street games don't mix, since ninja have the eyes and skills to beat them. That didn't stop them from winning the big brightly colored bears that they were carrying on their shoulders, or the several bags of gold fish around their wrists. "So, how fair do you think it was to take all his fish?" Hana asked looking to Anko.
"Well, if he would have just kept his mouth shut, I would have only left with one. However, like everyone else, he thinks that Naruto was controlling Sakura, so he's out of business," Anko grinned. "So, how about we get them a tank and take them to my place, then take the brats some food?"
"Alright, let's go. I still need to hug pinky for what she did." Hana smiled as she made her way to the pet shop.
XXX
"Damn it! Why couldn't they have just killed me?" said a very whinny Sakura.
"You know, I was just thinking the same thing. Naruto, we should have just left her alone up there," Ino said sitting on the counter. There was no answer, and when she turned to face him, she saw Naruto sitting on the couch with a little smile. "Naruto, are you ok?"
Now Sakura was looking over with a confused look on her face as well. "Hey, Naruto, we're talking to you!"
Naruto still just sat there not moving, even when Sakura started poking him. "Do you think he's meditating?" she asked, looking to Ino. It was then that she saw Ino had a bucket of cold water.
"Well, if he is, it's time to snap him out of it. Out of the way, forehead!" Ino walked over, and proceeded to pour the water over her fellow blonde's head.
Naruto shot from his seat, and jumped around a bit, before he realized where he was, and what happened. "Ino, what the hell was that for? I didn't do anything!"
"You were the one sitting there like a zombie with that goofy smile of yours," Ino said as if she had every right to do it.
"So, what? If you're sitting there staring out into space, am I allowed to dump ice down your shirt?"
"Do that, and you are a dead man!" Ino jabbed a finger into his chest.
"So? You can do whatever you wish to me, but I can't get payback?"
"That is exactly what I'm saying, Whiskers."
Naruto just smiled and shook his head. "Sorry, Ino-chan. Did you forget who you're dealing with? I'm the one that put a stink bomb in the …" It was then that both Ino and Naruto were hit with a wall of water. They then heard the laughter of their pink haired teammate, and laughing hard she was.
The blonds were sputtering in shock as Sakura was reduced to giggles as the pair screamed, "What the hell was that for, Forehead!?!"
"What? I don't know what you're talking about," Sakura said, hiding an empty bucket behind her back.
"You know, Ino." Naruto started walking to the closet, but that was just part of his plan. "I think Sakura wants in on the fun." Sakura's eyes widened when she heard that, but before she could act, Naruto was behind her. He hooked his arms under hers. "Ino, get her legs, fast!" Ino moved just as fast as Naruto did, and grabbed her legs, making sure Sakura was completely caught.
"Hey!! What do you think you're doing!?!" She tried to kick her legs free, but Ino had an iron grip. With the position of her arms, there was little she could do there, either. "Put me down now!" Naruto just started to move to carry her off.
"No can do, Forehead. You're going to get yours," Ino said smiling. However, she quickly started laughing when she saw that Naruto was leading them to the bathroom. "Oh boy, are you going to get it."
Sakura was about to say something more, but she saw them enter the bathroom. She knew she was doomed as Ino pulled the shower curtain back. "NO! Don't do it! I'm sorry! Come on guys, please!" Sakura started struggling harder now, but with no success as Naruto used his foot to turn on the cold shower.
"Payback time, Sakura. You ready, Ino?" After receiving a nod, he and Ino started to swing Sakura in and out of the cold shower. After a few swings, she was dripping wet. "Alright, Ino, let's end it." They let her go so that she would drop into the half filled tub of water, but Sakura was not done. As soon as they let her go, she wrapped her legs around Ino and grabbed onto Naruto, making all three of them hit the tub with a splash.
Ino was sitting at the end, a proud looking Sakura was in the middle, and Naruto had his back, his legs swinging wildly in the air. "So, now we're all wet!" Ino complained.
"Hey, you started it, Ino!" Naruto shot.
"I finished it!" Sakura said happily, as she just sat there with a smile on her face. "Hey, why are we not moving to get out?"
"Maybe you three just wanted to have a bath together?" The 3 wet Genin looked to the door to see Anko standing there looking at them. When the team heard her comment, they started scrambling to get out, the end result being water going all over the floor.
"Anko-sensei, what are you doing here?" Sakura asked after she managed to crawl from the tub.
"Oh, nothing special. Hana and I were just bringing you kids some party food, so dry off and eat." Anko walked out of the bathroom, not even batting an eye at their fun and games.
After ten to fifteen minutes of drying off, everyone was sitting and eating, having a good time, when Hana tossed Sakura a scroll. "What's this, Hana-sensei?"
"That is your stuff. We arrived there right when your, well your ex, mother was about to have a bon fire," Hana said sadly. Anko quickly picked up after that, giving a reassuring squeeze to Sakura's shoulder.
"Before you get sad, or ask what's in it, you're better off without that bitch. The Hokage banned her from having a clan title until she has a ninja in the house for seven years. We were able to get your diary, your clothes, and your crystal."
"Thank you, Anko-sensei, Hana-sensei. It's good to know I still have you and the blond bakas at my side."
"Hey! We have names!" Ino and Naruto yelled, making Anko and Hana laugh.

"I can't believe that bitch!" Sasuke yelled, as he paced back and forth in his house. Hinata was sitting on the couch not looking too happy either. "When I get my hands on her, I'll slit her throat!!"
"Sasuke-kun, I know you're mad, but for now, there's nothing we can do. She's in the tower, and…" Hinata was cut off when the light went out before coming back on. Itachi was standing in the center of the room now.
"You have embarrassed yourself and the clan," Itachi said, looking at Sasuke with disapproval.
"It wasn't my fault! It was…" Sasuke was cut short as Itachi pinned him to the wall by his neck.
"It proves you're weak. If you were not, then you would have seen her strike coming. Now you have to regain your honor." Itachi let him go, making him fall to the ground.
"Sorry, Itachi... What should I do? They're locked in the tower, and I can't get to them," Sasuke said while making a fist.
Itachi looked from Hinata to Sasuke. "Do you remember what I told you about Naruto?" He received nods from the two of them. "The demon vessel is locked up, and there is a whole village of people that hate him. Think and use it. Now I am going. Next time, I want to see progress. Am I clear?" With that, he walked out of the door, leaving Hinata with a smile.
"Sasuke, come on. I have an idea." She started for the door with Sasuke close behind her.

"You know this isn't too bad," Hana said as she snuggled into Anko's chest while they sat at the gate looking up at the stars.
Anko smirked as she placed her arms around Hana's waist to pull her closer. "You're right. It's a good night for food, laughs, and to be alone with you." She leaned in and started kissing the nape of her lover's neck, earning a grateful moan from Hana, who moved her head, letting Anko get more access.
"I...if you mmhh, keep this up...I…I'm going to take you right here at the gate!" Hana said through a raspy voice.
"I think I might just like that." Anko took Hana into a deep kiss, as they heard a faint sound of cheering. Reluctantly, they broke apart and stood, looking in to the village. They were shocked to see that a building was on fire. "What the hell?!"
"Shit!! Anko, that's Naruto's apartment!" Hana said in rage and panic.
As Anko looked, she was able to confirm that it was indeed his apartment. "Hana, tell the Hokage! I will head there and see what I can do!" Both women took off to do what they needed to do.

I know I suck for taking so long. I meant to have this up a month ago, but some problems stopped me from posting.
Thank you for sticking with me.
So, Sakura no longer has a last name, the village is on fire, and the team is grounded!
Please review. It's a drug!! A good one that I absolutely must have!!!
