The next morning Darcy was dressed in a pair of leggins, a silver shirt and a pair of black ninja sandels and her hair was up in a ponytail, squealing with surprise she rolled out of the way of a paper lions path as it tried to claw her shoulder. Konan was in the distence watching the sceen of her daughter fight of her creation with a regualr kunai knife, tilting her head to the side she watched Darcy do several cartwheeles and a not so graceful backflip. Darcy landed on the ground panting as the lion watched her every movement like it was on the kill, biting her lip she flew into several handsigns and took a deep breath,
"Fire style: Grand fireball jutsu!" She blew out a small fireball which hit the lion and made the paper burn to ashes, taking deep breaths she placed a hand to her heart as it beated like a drum.
"That was good, but not great." Konan walked forward and handed Darcy a bottle of water, taking it she took a large swing of water and handed it back. Konan nod as she jumped away and summonded two paper lions which stared at her, whipping out her kuani again Darcy charged forward and sent a powerful kick to the largest lion which made the creature flew past several fallen trees, dodging the smallest ones attack Darcy threw away the kuani and went into hand to hand fighting mode since Hidan told her that she needs more practise and take any chance to develop her skills.
'Shadow where are you now?'

Shadow walked in the gates of Kohana without a cloak on, he doesn't see the point in it since they have never seen his face as long as he keeps his sound headband hidden. Walking down the road he watched the civilans walk by with several shinobi patrolling the area and luck for him they haven't noticed him, dodging several people in his way he listened into their conversations hoping that they would provide some useful information of Darcy's where abouts. Only gossip about some pink headed girl being lucky enough to be the legendary slug sannin's apprentice and that some Naruto kid was going to train with the toad sage so in the future he could obtain enough power to save Sasuke Uchiha. Snorting Shadow pushed some girl giving him the battered eyelases and trying to seduce him, he really hated this place and he wants to find Darcy so they can leave this shit hole. Stoping in the middle of the road his stomack growled with starvation , sighing he can't remeber the last time he had anything to eat rather than soilder pills.
'Need food.' Just as he was about to take out a soilder pill a delisious scent hit his nose, following his nose he stopped infront of a small ramen bar with someone already inside eating the heavenly noodles. Shoving his hands deep in his pants he walked in and jumped in a seat.
"Augh a new customer, what will it be kiddo?" A old man smiled at him,
"I'll have two bowls of pork ramen and a plate of rice balls...please."
"Coming right up!"
Shadow drummed his fingernails against the table top and waited for his meals to arrive, he silently wondered if Darcy comes here all the time. Just as he was about to sign a voice stuttered.
"S..S...Sasuke!"
Lazly looking to his right he saw a boy with sunkiss blonde hair, blue eyes, whisker marks on his cheeks and he wore a orange jumpsuite. Tilting his head to the side Shadow barked rudely.
"I would rather be dead than be that stupid dickhead of a Uchiha, honestly who in the right mind would go to that snake rather than stay here with the family he never saw a mile away." Shadow saw the kid was taken back then looked glum.
"Sorry I mistaken you for a friend of mine."
Shadow groaned as he had taken it to damn far, again. Extending a hand he saw the kid's eyes go wide with shock,
"The names Shadow, you are?"
"I'am Naruto Uzumaki! The future Hokage believe it!" Naruto shaked hands with Shadow and in the end Shadow's food order had arrive and they both chat, surprisingly Naruto had given the information he had wanted to hear since he walked in the village.
"My friend Darcy is super funny, kind,caring and awesome! Shadow you should have meet her!" Naruto grinned as he inhaled his eight bowl of ramen.
"Should have?"
Naruto stopped and looked slightly depressed, "Yeah a week ago her mother had appeared, it turns out Darcy was kidnapped as a baby and left at the foot of the villag's gate. But hey as long as she's happy I'm happy." Naruto smiled lighltly as he looked at the wall, "Shadow, she was like family to me and we were together in the orphange when we were kids."
Shadow's hope of finding the girl that haunts his dreams came crashing down, but deep down he was glad that her family had never stopped searching for her and she's with them happy and safe, pulling out about meh don't care two thousand yen he slapped it on the table which surprised the ramen dude.
"Here's my bill and Naruto's." Jumping off the stoll Shadow walked out of the bar and heard Naruto run after him, casualy stopping to a halt the sound ninja looked at Naruto.
"Do you have a place to stay tonight?"
"Nope, I planned on sleeping in a tree."
Naruto broke into a giant smile which made Shadow raise an eyebrow, Grabbing Shadow's hand Naruto ran with him to the west side of the village.
"You can stay with me tonight! I think I still have Darcy's make shift bed so you don't have to sleep on the cold floor." Naruto bolted with Shadow trailing behind him.
'Hmm I could warm up to this kid, since Darcy did so that means I can.' He smiled slightly as Naruto looked back a grin. Brother relastionship Naruto and Sasuke...broken. Brother relationship Naruto and Shadow...foarming into bond.

Night time
Naruto was in his bedtime clothes and was happyly snoring about ramen while Shadow layed on the make shift bed without a shirt on (SEXY BODY!) and was looking at the photograph of team seven and Darcy who was giving Naruto the bunny ears and was smiling like a fool. Smiling slightly he looked at the moon out of the window and thought about the kiss, it was like magic to him and he felt his spirits lifting into an emotion he had a long time ago but was strangly different than the one his family gave him. He felt love towards a female for the first time in his life. Her loving smile and her personality was like the light itself so clean, pure, loving and warm it made the ice around his heart melt when her beauitful silver eyes locked onto his dark grey eyes as it shined with it's own light. Her voice was so angelic that even till now he can still hear that song she sang when she was hold in that tent, it was so relaxing as he clearly remebered it and slowly he drifted off to sleep with her song and herself in his dreams.

With Darcy
Smiling slightly she walked into her new room that Tobi had painted and she was impressed that it was her favourite shade of blue, royal blue. There was a queen sized bed with silk sheets and pillows, a desk with book, a small tv set for her, in a small closet was stacks of paper, a couch, a bedside table with...an alarm clock (she sends a glare at the evil thing as it glared back at her..) and a giant closet full of clothes, shoes, weapons, a body mirror, make-up, personal things, bath equipmentm a hait brush, hair things and a small teddy bear that was sliver and had a blue ribbon tied around it's neck. Smiling she went for a shower, got dressed and fell on her super soft bed, grabbing a pillow she brought it close to her chest as she though of Shadow again for the tenth time today. Blushing she couldn't denie the strong feeling she had towards the sound ninja that she kissed, he was so dashing and she really misses his attuide that he was known for in her book, cocky bastard. Placing her spear hand on her beating heart she muttered something before driting off to sleep.
"I love you Shadow."
BANG! SMASH! BOOM!
"TOBI DON'T TOUCH MY EXPLODING CLAY YOU RETART, UN!"
"TOBI'S SO SORRY DEIDARA SENPAI! TOBI WILL HELP YOU CLEAN THE MESS SINCE TOBI'S A GOOD BOY!"
"FUCKING GO TO SLEEP OR YOU'RE SOULS WILL BE LORD JASHINS!"
Smiling she loves her newly found family and the boy of her dreams.
