A/N: I know…I know I took a rather long break from writing and I am terribly sorry! Also for the typos you'll most probably see in this chappie, I have I laptop now so I'm not used to the keyboard so sometimes I don't press hard enough and even though I hear the click the letter doesn't pop up so sorry and here we go.

"Kiba, Hinata, Shino, Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi, your mission is to locate the missing wolf princess." Tsunade said handing Kakashi a clipboard with the information on it.

"Ruby?" Kiba asked shocked.

"Hai princess Akane."

Kiba turned to Naruto furious. "What happened at lunch?! Tell me exactly what happened at the ramen stand Naruto tell me!"

Confused Naruto looked at Kiba then scratched his whiskers. "Well…I went to go eat some ramen, I ate ramen and then didn't have enough money to pay so I had to do dishes then Sakura came and told me to come here and…that's it." He said simply.

"Wasn't Ruby with you?" Kiba asked searching Naruto's face for answers.

"Huh no. What you're talking about?"

Furious and confused Kiba picked Naruto up by the collar.

"She told me she was going with you! She told me she'd be with you!" Kiba shouted to the blonde. A flashback to Ruby's sad voice and face entered his mind. 'Bye.' Kiba dropped Naruto and turned to Tsunade and slammed his hands on her desk.

"She's with Itachi." He stated. "She's going to join the Akasuki." Tsunade's eyes remained calm though her thoughts began making up theories.

"How do you know this?"

"Ten days ago…Itachi came and…Ruby said he was like a big brother to her. They must've met before. But…Itachi said it was time to go and Ruby looked at me with such…a sad confused expression and asked for another week. He didn't come back three days ago so I let my guard down. It's my fault…I let her go…"

"Kiba, sort yourself out yes you let your guard down to quickly but you'll have to live with that mistake, I'll send word to the sand for reinforcements. The problem is you're facing Itachi. Kiba, please remember to think before you ct Itachi is a strategist and will you your bluntness against you."

"I was four."

"What?"

"I was four when my father left, I was simply four years old, and when he left all I said was: Have a good trip papa! My stupidity right? He told me he wouldn't be coming home but I was unable to hear what I didn't want to. Just like now I was unable to see what was right before my eyes. My weakness isn't my bluntness, I'm not blunt at all I'm just stupid. So because I'm a damn loyal mutt and I'm going to do anything to get Ruby back, even without thinking."

~1 hour later in Suna~

Gaara was shocked for the first time in a while, utterly shocked. "Ruby?" He asked for the fifth time.

"Yes Gaara, Ruby." Temari replied.

Gaara looked away for a moment allowing the information to process he sighed and nodded. "Let's go save her."

Gaara spun around and exited Suna entering the vast desert heading in the general direction of Konoha.

"Gaara wait!" Kankuro yelled to his younger sibling.

"What?" Gaara asked still walking.

Kankuro sighed and jogged up towards his brother. "Apparently she's traveling with an organization called the Akasuki…"

"And?" Gaara said sharply.

"Well…"

"Explain on the way dumb ass Gaara and I want to save Ruby you don't even know her yet." Temari said swatting the back of Kankuro's head.

"I know she has big tits." Kankuro scoffed quietly.

"PERVERT!" Temari yelled at the top of her lungs. "I swear I don't know why I put up with you! If you dare say one more ecchi thing around me I will kill you!"

"Okay, okay I'll shut up."

Gaara glanced at his older brother and punched his arm playfully. "They are pretty big." Gaara whispered to Kankuro. Kankuro smirked and all three siblings continued on their way to Konoha.

A/N: I know that was really sloppily written and I apologize I'm just trying to get to the good parts, and then as soon as this chappie is over I'll write envious love then I'll write TBD okay? Okay.

~1 day later~

Kakashi stood in a clearing with the sand siblings, Kiba's team and Naruto's two-man cell (Naruto and Sakura).

"So…it's best if we split up then eh?" Kakashi said to the quiet group not that Shino or Hinata were being any help to the depressed 13 year olds. "Yes…now we'll go in three teams, Naruto, Kiba and Gaara you three are team one. Shino, Temari and I will be team two so then Kankuro, Hinata and Sakura will be team three."

They all nodded but stayed quiet.

"Okay, first of all I would like to state this is not as serious as the rescue Sasuke mission was so I don't understand why you're all sad, although I do know that Kiba, Naruto and Gaara have ahem…feelings towards Ruby." Kakashi stated, Hinata blushed red and looked at Naruto then down to the wood As long as Naruto-kun's happy…She thought to herself. Kakashi opened his mask covered mouth and continued. "And Temari and Sakura were good friends with her. Stop being all sad and cheer up. Mission commence." And then the three teams went ff in three directions.

"Naruto, you like Ruby?" Kiba asked as the jumped through the trees.

"Well I don't I mean she not y type, but uh…my alter-ego loves her."

"Alter-ego?" Gaara asked raising an imaginary eyebrow. "You mean the kyuubi?"

"Yeah."

Kiba looked at Gaara. "How 'bout you?" He asked.

"Yeah I love her, and she loves me."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Sorry Gaara but she loves me."

Intrigued in this conversation Naruto watched as the two boys agued over who Ruby loved.

"Well, I heard that she kissed both of you on the same day." Naruto stated unaware f the chaos he had just unleashed.

Gaara glared at Kiba, Kiba glared at Gaara, both boys knew that Ruby had kissed both of the in that moment and stopped just like that on a tree branch.

"Eh?" Naruto said stopping and turning back to se the boys preparing to fight. "Aw damn…"

Then she showed up Ruby in a blue summer dress. "Ohayo Naruto, Kiba," She paused and stared at Gaara taking him in "Gaara."

"Ruby…come back to Konoha." Naruto said smiling.

"I'm sorry Naru-chan I…I just can't, I'm not going to go back. I'm sorry."

"Why won't you come back!" Kiba shouted.

"Kiba, I will miss you I love you. Bu, I was never meant to stay in Konoha. I wasn't meant for you."

"There you go acting all Neji on me!" Kiba shouted at Ruby.

"Kiba, I'm not coming back. Please take care of Mikimaru and…let me go."

"No way in hell m I letting you go." Kiba said his expression softening.

Gaara was currently in a state of shock, why was Ruby telling Kiba that she loved Kiba? Why wasn't she speaking to him? What had he done? Why wasn't she tell I she loved him?

"Kiba please let me go and accept the fact that we're not going to be together."

"Why?"

"Kiba…" Ruby sighed. She jumped to his branch and embraced him. "Kiba, I am a demon, I am a horrible person, and my whole country is scared of me for good reason. Please understand Kiba I'm leaving, I'm sorry but we end here." Ruby whispered, and then quickly punched Kiba's face.

Kiba rubbed his cheek and spat out some blood. "Aren't you gonna do anything to that dunce?" Kiba asked pointing to Gaara, "Or is he just too hard to hurt eh? You love him more, or am I just a punching bag to everyone?"

"Kiba! I swear! I do love Gaara more then you yes, but I still love you! I understand Gaara's feelings of loneliness and hate, but, Gaara was my first friend do I need any more reason to love him?"

Gaara walked up behind Ruby and embraced her, "No, no you don't."

A/N: Hate me if you want I'm ending it thre it seemed like a cute and good place but don't worry there are at least two or three more chapters until this story's dne that s if I don't go off topic. But, yeah…review it if you like it and goodbye!

Love,
