Pretty much lost . . .

Sasuke is looking for his brother's hideout. It's been at least three days and he hasn't found anything. It would seem like his brother had disappeared off the face of the earth, but Sasuke knew otherwise.

'I know that he didn't let himself get killed. He obviously wanted me to kill him for killing our clan or he would have killed me so now the question is: where is that bastard?'

"He's closer than you think." A voice answered

Immediately on guard, Sasuke turned to face the voice. It was a girl.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Would you care if I hadn't given you a hint as to where your brother is?"

"Probably not"

"Why does matter now that I've given you a hint then?"

"It matters because I don't know if you are leading me into a trap."

"I guess they were right about you."

"What do you mean?"

"You are very blind to the world around you, Sasuke Uchiha."

"I'll give you until the count of ten and if you don't tell me what I . . ."

"My name is Yuri."

"And?"

"I have a bloodline trait that lets me read minds."

"Interesting, but I still don't trust you."

"Your brother came here looking for one of the tailed demons."

"Did he find what he was looking for?"

"No."

"How far do you think he is?"

"He can't be more than half a day away from here."

"Right."

Sasuke turned to leave when the girl came at him. Expecting this, he dodged her, and pinned her down with his foot.

"Now why did you do that? Did Itachi tell you to? I would hope not."

"Why do you care?"

"Because if Itachi did give you some kind of instructions, I have to kill you too."

"Kill me then," Yuri hissed

Sasuke shook his head and began to laugh.

"What the hell are you laughing at?"

"So willing to die, huh?"

"Yes, so just kill me damn it!"

Sasuke had become a bit more callous, but he wasn't about to kill this girl. He decided to tie her up to a tree and rest for a while. Yuri kicked and screamed obscenities at him. He continued to laugh at her.

'You know Yuri, you might be a little crazy, but I don't really care. There's something about you I can't bring myself to ignore.'

In Konoha . . .

Kiba and Sakura were making out in a secluded area. Suddenly, Sakura felt a little lighter. She stopped kissing her boyfriend.

"Is there something wrong, Sakura," Kiba asked sweetly

"I have this weird feeling right now."

"What does it feel like?"

"Like a weight has been lift from my shoulders and my heart."

"Do you like that feeling, because I know another something that could make you feel that way."

"Kiba, don't be nasty. Anyway, I guess you can say I like it. I just want to know why I'm feeling this way now."

"Hmmm, I don't know what it could possibly be. Have you been feeling a lot of stress lately for some reason?"

Sakura thought about it. She couldn't think of anything that had been given her stress lately. She had spent so much time with Kiba that she didn't have time to stress out and she told Kiba so.

"Maybe it's just being here with me now," Kiba offered.

"That seems plausible. I think that just might be it, but I don't wanna talk about that anymore. I would like to know where we left off."

A playful smile came across Sakura's lips.

"I think," Kiba said running his fingers through Sakura's hair "That we were right here."

Kiba kissed Sakura and the making out began again.

Watching the clouds go by . . .

Naruto whistled the song he and Hinata had had their first dance to.

"You still remember that song?" Hinata asked surprised.

"Of course I do, baby. I can't forget something like that because it was so magical."

Hinata shook her head at her boyfriend's answer. Just then, a cool breeze blew across the meadow. Hinata closed her eyes only to open them and find her boyfriend within inches of her face.

"Hinata, do you ever feel just . . . content with the world around you?"

Hinata closed her eyes again, sighing heavily. To be honest, Hinata felt everyday was a day to be content because she was with Naruto, but she didn't say that. She just answered yes with a smile.

"You know I feel like that right now. I can't explain it but I just have this feeling that nothing can possibly go wrong right now."

"Well, sometimes you get feelings like that because something has changed. What do you think?" Hinata asked.

"I don't know. Maybe you're right but I'm not worried about that. I think we should talk about how much longer you want to stay.

"I'm ready to go back when you are. If we're really needed Hokage-sama would send for us. Won't she?"

"Yeah, but I think we should leave tomorrow so that we don't get in trouble."

"Since we're leaving tomorrow can we get one more swim in?"

"Of course! Here, I got one better for you. I'll race you."

The couple jumped up and ran to the nearby lake forgetting everything else.

Still somewhat lost . . .

Sasuke was cooking a rabbit and watching over this Yuri girl. There was something about this girl that made Sasuke . . . dare I say . . .excited. He tried hard to deny what he was feeling but he couldn't.

"Why are you looking at me, Sasuke Uchiha?" Yuri asked hoarsely.

"Read my mind, Yuri." Sasuke chuckled

"I can't stand you, you know that?" the girl hissed.

Sasuke disregarded her comments and went back to his rabbit with a few thoughts.

'Yes, this is the girl I want. She's a little rough around the edges but who wants someone so clean cut? I don't know what the hell I was thinking. I need a dirty girl and besides this girl isn't as flat as damn board. Oh yes. I can have fun with her.'
