Now that schools started up again my updates will be slower, yeah that kinda sucks but I'll try to get one chappie out a week and if your lucky two...

Chapter Ten

"Sakura relax, the power went out." Sasuke hadn't even jumped. When you lived in a ninja community the power went out often, for varius reasons. When Tsunade was your Hokage the power went out even more often...

"Does this happen a lot?"

"Yes." He could of course have given her the detailed statement he had thought of just a few seconds ago but he figured that would, some way or another, lead to more questions. Questions that he didn't want to answer.

"Hey Sasuke, where's your family?" Questions like that one for instance.

Choosing to stay silent Sasuke shuffled over to a drawer open it and and rummaged through, looking for a candle. Finally when at least three candles had been unearthed (who knew Sasuke was such a slob?) and a box of matches had been provided by Sakura, the two could actually see each other. Sakura opened her mouth, Sasuke assumed it was to ask once again about his family, but before she could ask a question there was a knock on the door.

With out a word to Sakura, Sasuke turned and walked away. Opening the door Sasuke was surprised to see Naruto standing there. He was even more surprised to see that the blonde boy was piggy backing Hinata. Upon looking down Sasuke realized why, the shy girls ankle was twice the size that it should have been. Naruto however seemed to think taunting Sasuke was more important than getting Hinata some ice,

"Ha, Sasuke I was taking Hinata-chan home but we heard you scream like a girl!"

"Shut up." Sasuke stepped to the side indicating for them to come in. Looking at him with a mixture of confusion and relief (relief because Hinata would be getting help and confusion as to why Sasuke was letting them in) Naruto made his way in making sure the bluenette's ankle was far away from any thing that could potentially hurt it.

"Sasuke you jerk, I've been sitting in almost complete darkne-oh..." Sakura broke off when she saw Hinata, scurrying over to the chair Hinata had been placed in she asked, "What happened?"

"Well I wasn't watching where I was going and I almost ran into Hinata-chan. She stepped to the side to get out of my way and stepped into a pot hole." Naruto filled them in rubbing the back of his head while Hinata blushed. "You know now would be a really good time for you to get your medic nin memories back." he added to Sakura.

"You think I can just get them back when ever I want? This is your fault, you should be at the hospital with Hinata! You idiot!" The pink haired girl screeched at him.

"Ummm...I don't think it's broken it doesn't hurt that much...maybe just some ice?" Hinata, hating being the cause of an argument, tried hopefully. Sasuke, who had already thought of this handed her the bag of ice he had gotten during his team mates argument.

Ignoring the fuming Sakura, Naruto turned to Hinata "Are you ok now?"

"I-I'm fine I'll go h-home now..." Sakura noticed that Hinata only seemed to stutter around Naruto.

"No, no, Hinata-chan just stay here Sasuke doesn't mind!" The blonde offered for the unwitting host.

Another knock on the door sent Sasuke once again out of the room. This time a worried looking blonde stood at the door and behind her leaning against the wall an extremely annoyed looking teen scowled at him.

"Hey Sasuke, is Sakura here? She hasn't come back yet and I was getting worried, so Shikamaru offered(emphasis on that word) to help me look for her."

Sighing Sasuke opened the door wider and led the to the partially lighted kitchen. Before anyone even had a chance to say anything they were interrupted by yet another knock on the door. The raven haired teen looked about ready to kill so Sakura offered(much like Ino, ahem Shikamaru) to get it.

Upon opening the door she found Tenten and a boy with eyes so similar to Hinata's she thought at first he was her brother. She then remembered Hinata saying something about a cousin and assumed, correctly this time, that this was him.

"Hey Tenten, and...Neji?" Neji nodded and Tenten seeing that he wasn't going to elaborate on why they were there said,

"We heard voices and saw Ino and Shikamaru going in. Are you guys having a party?"

Turning around Sakura called into the house, "Neji and Tenten are here, are we having a party?"

"No. Tell them to leave." she could tell by Sasuke's voice that they had moved to another room, the living room maybe? Turning back to the two outside Sakura smiled,

"Come on in."

Sasuke frowned but said nothing when he saw the two new guests, so Sakura guessed it would be alright for them to stay a while.

"No one else should be coming so I think we should do something." Naruto claimed, "Oh but we can't do any walking or anything 'cause Hinata needs to stay sitting, are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?"Blushing from the attention she nodded and Neji frowned at Naruto, only to be plainly ignored.

"You need a chaperone." Kakashi it seemed hadn't bothered to knock, as he was standing it the hallway armed with a candle and his ever present book.

The rest of this will be put up next chapter because I have homework glares at evil homework giving teachers. Please reveiw, and don't worry Kakashi won't be in the whole next chappie so there will be fluff galore for all characters there.
