–(book 2!!!)--
"What did you say?!" naruto exclaimed while reaching for his kuni pouch.
Before either naruto or Alex could do anything kakashi was already behind the girl and had imobalised her. She quickly rethought her possition.
"Um..haha... I was just joking. Now if you could tell me where I could find orochimaru I'll be on my way."
"You really think your going to get away with threatining to kill us?!" (Alex)
"Last time anyone saw him he was with the sound village. You might want to start there." Kakashi sujested as he released her.
"And.. If you see a boy named Sasuke Uchiha, could you please bring him back to Konoha? Please?" (Sakura)
"Your just gonna let her go after she threatened to kill us?!" ( Alex and Naruto)
"Ok." kioge said then sprinted off in the direction of the sound village.
"Your just going to let her go?!" (Naruto)
Alex stood there thinking then stated, " going to face Orochimaru is her punishment isn't it?"
Tsunande glared at Alex then said, "yes, it is."
"But isn't that a little harsh?" (Sakura)
"Ya. But ninjas don't kill needlessly. She didn't really do anything to us so we really cant do anything to her. We cant stop her from doing anything."
"But still. It is a little harsh. A good beating would have been better than sending her into that hell." (Alex)
Everyone was quiet the rest of the way home. As soon as they reached the village Tsunande went straight to the hokage tower and kakashi went off to his little place. Sakura pounded narutos head then went home leaving Naruto and Alex to walk back to their apartments together. Once naruto walked into his apartment he collasped on the bed, fast asleep. On the other side of the wall Alex was greeted by a purring and a soft rub around the ankles. Alex walked over to the cupboard and fed kiki. The kitty gobbled half the bowl then trotted over to the bed where her master was already asleep. Tsunande too had fallen asleep at her desk and sakura had collapsed on the sofa. The only one from the rescue "mission" that was not asleep was kakashi who stood before the K.I.A. stone. Obviously the whole crew was tired from figthing Itachi, Kisame and Ichisuki.
The next day Alex awoke with the sun beating down on her face. Turning her head to the see the clock which read 5: 04 pm. Apparently she had slept for a whole day. She streached and headed over to the closet to change her torn cloths. A soft, purring creature came and had begun to rub against her legs. Once she was redressed Alex headed for the stove and began to boil some water.
'Knock' 'Knock'
"Hai? Come in!!" Alex called.
The door opened then slamed shut as naruto walked in. She had just finished refeeding kikis' food bowl.
"Hey. Whats up?" Alex asked as Naruto took a seat. Naruto still had bed hair and his jacket wasn't fully zipped. "Looks like you just woke up."
" I did." (Naruto)
His full hyper side hadn't fully come back to his eyes, but some was still there.
"Same here. So did you need something?" (Alex)
"Just wanted to know if you wanted to... get some ramen with me..." (Naruto)
"Hmm... I was making some but if it's the Ichiraku shop then it's a deffanent yes."
A smile spread across his face. Alex walked over and turned off the kettle which was screaching as loud as a gong and as high pitched as a person running their nails down a chalk board. Once she grabbed her money naruto grabbed her wrist and ran out the door so fast her feet hardly touched the ground. She wriggled free of his grasp and jumped off ahead of him.
"I'll beat you there!!"(Alex)
"Oh no you wont!!" (Naruto)
He jumped onto the roofs to keep from getting in peoples way. In the distance he could hear Alex laughing. Within a minute or two he had finally caught up to her.
"Still think your gonna beat me?" naruto joked.
"Yes. Yes I do."
The ramen shop was just a couple yards away and the two were neck-n-neck. It would be hard to decide the outcome. Then a second later Alex sent a small bit of chakra to her feet. This gave her a boost and she jumped off the building she was on and landed in front of the ramen shop.
"Hey! Thats cheating!!" naruto exclaimed as he caught up to her. Alex just burst out laughing. The two went in and took a seat on one of the stools side by side.
"Whats so funny?" naruto demanded.
"You're a ninja and you still care if some one cheats you?! That hillarious!!!" (Alex)
naruto just pouted. "You suck." he murmured.
"Ya. I know I do."
Naruto looked at her and she seemed to sense what he was thinking.
"Well If I had taken my punishment like I was supposed to I wouldn't have been in that jam." Alex looked down casted.
"Hey it wasn't all bad." (naruto)
"Ok. How was It no bad?"(alex)
"Well.. I leared a new jutsu, we leared of a new Akatski member and you awakened the nibi...I think thats good..." (Naruto)
Alex chuckled.
"Hey naruto!Alex! What'll it be today?" (Old man)
"I'll have the usual old man." (Naruto)
"Alright. And you?" (Old man)
"Hmm... I think I'll try the negi ramen today." alex ordered from the menu.
All the people in the booth looked at her.
"What? Do I have something on me?
