YOSH! CHAPPIE 10! Thanks for the reviews and watches, they really help.

As a little special for it being number ten, I'm switching the POV to Hana and my mom for once! Maybe for more, if you guys like it :D I'll even do one with Kiritsu but you need to let me know, you can now request stuff like POVs. But on some chapters, it's designated for a certain character.

And StellaMarris, thank you. You are one of the best betas ever! *glomps* * dodges frying pan you try to hit me with* I'M OKAY!

Hana's POV

As me and the increasingly mad werewolf entered the livingroom, we saw Kiritsu and Hotaru about to brawl, which wouldn't end well. And it didn't help that Koori was mad for no apparent reason. (At least to me.) I quickly grabbed a mirror from the shelf next to me and put it in the ray of sunshine from the window. (The clouds from earlier had cleared while I was talking to Tobi.) It worked as it shined light in the eyes of the two sisters. They both shielded their eyes as Koori demanded what was going on. She kept glaring at Kiritsu though. Ugh, what had she done to Koori NOW? Hotaru recovered from my mirror attack and pointed at Kiritsu.

"I found her deep in the forest, where the disappearances are occuring with Sakura, Ino and Tenten. And they weren't just in the forest either, they were calling for the ninjas to come to them and show their faces!" Hotaru screeched. Man, she looked pissed. Koori and I stared at Kiritsu in disbelief. Kiritsu was the 'good' child that never did anything bad or wierd (Meaning didn't jump off of random objects like Koori), and the fact that she had gone into the restricted part of the forest, was something truly bewildering for us to hear. Koori broke the stance first though, clenching her fists.

"First you talk about me behind my back. Then you go and risk your life in the woods where there are supposedly ROGUE NINJA?" Koori shouted, stomping towards Kiritsu. Kiritsu just stared coldly at Hotaru.

"I still don't see what the big deal is." Kiritsu mumbled. Hotaru looked at her in disgust.

"It's not the forest that truly bugs me." Hotaru started through clenched teeth. Her voice was shaking. "It's the fact that you lied to Koori, didn't tell me where you were going AND you went to the one and only place I asked you not to go!" She shouted, she didn't look as angry as she did before. Instead she looked worried and sad. Kiritsu just huffed.

"I'm not a kid anymore, and your not the boss of me." She answered hotly. Hotaru looked shocked. Koori clenched her fists even tighter and she looked ready to pounce. I was getting sort of tired with the attitude.

"She is until mom and dad get home. Dad said so." I reasoned. She gave me a go-to-hell look that made me gulp. What was with her? She was acting like we had forced her to drink Hinata's blood or something. And I had seen Hinata at the ramen shop stalking Naruto, so that couldn't have been it. It seemed like Hotaru was the one overeacting but, her friend Naomi had been one of the ones to disappear during recess after entering the woods. I'd be worried too if I were her. As if she had read my mind Kiritsu snapped at me.

"And Hana, don't act so innocent. I know what you did! And you too Koori!" She hissed. I stepped back a bit while Koori growled at her menacingly. Sometimes, I loved having a scary sister. Koori calmed herself enough to talk.

"What the hell are you talking about?" She growled. Kiritsu looked at her and laughed. I had a suspicion she was going crazy. Kiristu then looked at her straight in the eyes.

"You two have been talking about me. Ino said so! And Sakura said she heard a few rumors too!" She taunted. I realised then that hanging out with the 'normal' kids wasn't the best idea after all. I shook my head and stepped towards Kiritsu who had turned away from us. She looked mad but I wasn't going to get my point across by acting as my normal cowardly self. I chose my next words very carefully and said them in a polite and slow manner to try and comfort her.

"Listen Kiritsu. Maybe they're lying to you, because I never-" She wheeled around and struck me in the face with the back of her hand. I felt myself fly backwards and hit my head on the coffee table. The last thing I saw before I blacked out was Hotaru running to my aid, and Koori tackling Kiritsu to the floor.

Kiyoshi's POV (the mom)

I felt truly worried about about the girls, even though I trusted Hotaru to take care of the other three, it worried me. Especially since the mission I was on dealt with the outside intruders in the forest that could attack at any time. We had been traveling for about three hours when we came upon the first group. They were skilled shinobi that excelled in taijutsu, and it took a massive amount of chakra and time to beat them, and even longer to recover. It had been a whole two days since we had left the girls, and I was getting very worried. I kept biting my nails, and my husband grabbed my arm and reminded me of what I was doing.

"Sorry Katsuo." I apologized. He gave me a cheeky grin before grasping my hands in his. I leaned on him, trying to relax myself. "I'm just so worried. Those ninjas were tough and they were small compared to the ones that are being constantly reported. If they reach the village-"

"They won't. I won't let them." He interrupted, staring at me with promise in his eyes. "And if they do, I'll kill them before they get to the girls." I instantly felt better. No one could stop a dragon, especially a protective father of three. It'd happen when Naruto passed his entrance exam to the 7th grade. I still had a bad feeling though, and I desperately hoped that that bad feeling wasn't a sign. I closed my eyes and shut the whole world out. I felt as if nothing bad could ever happen, and fell asleep.

Review or I'll tell Katsuo that you are one of the rogue ninja.
