Chapter 11

As soon as the whole 'nickname issue' was over, Hatori escorted Ritsu out of the room and walked over to us. "Tell me again why you're here." he said.

"We were told to come here by Tsunade." Neji explained.

Suddenly, someone else came into the room. He was tall, wore a lot of necklaces, and had black and white hair. Haru? I thought. "What's will all the commotion?" he asked calmly.

"Haru," Hatori said, "you remember Ry—"

"Wait don't tell me," he interrupted. "Ry...ana, no, Ry…ri, Ry…"

"Ryuu!" I yelled, "My name is Ryuu!"

"Oh, right, Ryuu. You still have my crayons." he said.

"Sorry, they burned in the fire." I explained sarcastically.

"Oh, okay then." he said, and walked off. I stood there in a daze. He is so hott! I thought. "I don't know what you see in him." Kiba said to me.

"Huh? What?" I asked, snapping out of my daze.

"I think you're more for the wild and untamed type." he added.

"Oh believe me, you have no idea how 'wild and untamed' he is." I said, referring to his black side.

"No, me! I'm talking about me!" he yelled.

"You? You're wild and untamed?" I asked skeptically.

"Yes!" he exclaimed.

"Why the sudden interest in Ryuu, Kiba?" Akira asked.

"Arf!" Akamaru barked.

"Well…I…uh…" Kiba stuttered.

"Enough!" Naruto yelled. Akira giggled.

Then, Naruto got angry. "Listen old man!" he yelled, "We're on a mission! How…do we get…to Akito?" he asked.

"He's not an old man," I stated, "He's only 27."

"Really!? He looks like he's 47!" Naruto yelled.

"That's not old, Naruto." Neji said.

"Yeah, Naruto, he probably hasn't even reached his mid-life crisis yet." Akira pointed out.

"Guys." I said through their discussion (A.N.—"discussion"—in my book, is the most disgusting word in the English language, next to curdled, or course.).

"Yeah, that's when they get grey hair and stuff." Naruto said.

"And get all moody." Akira added.

"Guys!" I said, for the second time.

"They lose their vision too." Naruto said.

"True, true." Akira said.

"HEY!!! LISTEN UP!!!" Kiba yelled.

"ARF!" Akamaru barked loudly. Everyone quickly shut up.

"Thank you, Kiba." I said.

"What?" Akira asked.

"Hatori is still standing right there." I pointed out.

"Oh. " Naruto said.

"Oops." Akira laughed.

"So how do we get to Akito?" Neji asked.

Hatori sighed and said, "Make a left, turn right and it's all the way at the end of the hallway."

"Thanks!" everyone said in unison, and left the room.
