I DO NOT OWN NARUTO

Naruto and Shikamaru walked through the gates and headed back to the HQ. When they arrived they sensed two people. Naruto had a feeling he knew who. He turned to Shikamaru, "switch masks with me?" Shikamaru also had a feeling he knew who it was he quickly stripped his deer mask then handed it to Naruto and put on Naruto's mask. Then the two walked forward as Kurenai and Anko stepped out of the shadow. They quickly ran up to Shikamaru and Kurenai pulled off the mask and sighed in defeat.

"Kurenai-sensei who are you looking for?"

"Naru-kun I made a mistake and I want to fix it." Shikamaru covered for his blond friend.

"Well sorry Kurenai-sensei I haven't seen him. Monkey and Wolf might have."

"No they haven't either. So if you wear Fox now does that mean he is no longer Anbu?"

"No he may have changed departments. He might be a hunter nin or part of ROOT maybe even Black ops. Troublesome." Then he and Deer entered the HQ leaving Anko and Kurenai to walk away in defeat. The two then removed their masks. Then they found Udon and Shin and the four went to the new Bar in town.

Anko and Kurenai headed to the bar again abd as luck would have it, it was a brand new bar filled with normal jounin for Kurenai. No need for that insatiable worry. Then the door opened and four shadows towered over the room. The four shinobi walked into the bar and walked straight to the bar tender. Udon smiled as he knew the bar tender. "Hey Taki. Get the lightweight a Bad Break up would ya?"

"Sure thing Udon." The drink slid down the bar to the awaiting hand of Naruto. He lifted the shot and downed it. He then turned around and the four went to a booth and opened a tab. Everything was fine until a tough guy tried to pick a fight with Naruto. Normally in a shinobi village people are cautious of the black vests and common sense is if the man has a sword leave him alone. But this jounin kicked the hornets nest.

"Oy! Demon Get out." Naruto had his back turned and smiled. He looked at his three friends who had glares on and then nodded. Naruto finished his shot then stood up and turned around.

"Come make me." He stood with his chest open and the jounin charged. He swung a punch and blinked in surprise as he impacted air. He turned and blocked an axe kick at his shoulder but grimaced as his left forearm snapped from the force. He retaliated with a chakra infused hit with agan was dodged. The jounin collapsed as a foot connected across his sternum forcing him to exhale. "Stay down."

The jounin stood back up on shaky legs before he drew two kunai and made the glow bright red. Naruto smirked as the jounin charged. The jounin slashed but Naruto blocked with his arm. He grimaced as the cut cauterized then he gripped the man's wrist before wrenching it back making the kunai fall from his grip before Naruto smashed his arm into the man's chest twice. The jounin still stood but now he was bleeding profusely from the corner of his mouth. His hands became a blur as he ran through hand seals. He inhaled deeply and started to blow the jutsu out before Naruto's fist connected with his chin forcing his mouth shut. The man screamed as the fire burned his internal organs before he collapsed. They he heard someone call his name. He turned and saw two red eyes framed by raven hair and creamy skin staring at him.

"Naruto." He turned and walked back to his table ignoring her. When he sat down he ordered another drink and resumed his conversation with his table. Kurenai walked over and looked at him. "Naruto, we need to talk." He turned and saw the look in her eyes and sighed.

"Guys I'll be right back. Order me another round when you guys get one." He then stood up and followed Kurenai to the back part of the bar. He turned his gaze icy. "What is it you require of me Yuhi-san?" She felt tears well in her eyes from his cold gaze and his tone.

"I am sorry Naru-kun I'm sorry." He stared at her his icy gaze falter for a few seconds before it returned full force.

"Yuhi-san, you betrayed my trust and crushed me. I am not going to be a pig willingly entering back into slaughter. They called you the Ice Queen but I didn't listen now I have frost bite. If we are done I bid you good night." He bowed to her before returning to the bar. Kurenai just slumped against the wall and slide down it. She hugged her knees close and began to cry again.

Naruto sat at the bar and finished his drink. He stood up and began to walk out when he noticed a person slumped against the wall. Then he noticed who it was. And he turned and began to walk away until he heard two voices. "Oh hey look we got ourselves an Ice Queen here."

"Yeah I think I shold put my popsicle back in the freezer." The two men began to approach Kurenai who didn't notice because of her emotions. Naruto cursed and turned back.

"Hey fuckwads leave her alone." He walked up as they whistled for their back up. 20 or so civilians and a few jounin stood behind them. The leader of the group laughed at Naruto and smiled.

"Your gonna die demon." Naruto smiled. He turned to Udon, Shin, Shikamaru, and Yamato who recently joined the four as he left work.

"Hmm, Five Anbu Combat specialist jounin, with extensive knowledge in hand to hand combat only surpassed by Gai and Yugao versus 15 thugs and 5 jounin. I think this is a fair fight what do you say Yamato-sensei?"

Yamato laughed. "I agree." The five Anbu jumped forward and began to beat the group until only the leader and two jounin where left. The three quickly ran away as the others got up and dispersed as well. Naruto then turned his back and began to walk away when he felt a hand in his own. He looked over at Kurenai as she grasped his hand and held on tight.

"Naru-kun I want you back, I'm sorry for the things I said. I'll do anything to get you back. Please."

Naruto sighed as he spent the entire night trying to dull the pain Kurenai left him with but her she was wanting him back. His gaze changed back into the icy combat stare. "Yuhi-san How do I know this just won't happen again?" Kurenai frowned at the question before answering.

"You don't. But Anko reminded me of how you beat Zabuza and now your in Anbu after training under Yamato and your team and you have the bond of family." Seeing her points where empty to him she frowned. She pulled her hand from his ad turned to walk away. She walked through the doors and into the rain.

Naruto watched her go impassively until he felt four fist hit his head simultaneously.

Four shouts of go get her back where heard and naruto nodded. He ran out the door into the rain but failed to find her.

"KURENAI WHERE ARE YOU?" There was no repsonse and he made 50 clones to comb the streets until he found her.

After 3 hours he got a clone to locate her. She was on a park swing crying. Naruto smiled as he remembered the times the two had in the park and on that swing. He quickly ran to the Yamanaka flower shop. He pushed through the door.

"I need a bouchet of flowers that say I am sorry I was stupid I love you!" Ino turned and saw Naruto and sighed she quickly got the flowers handed them to him and told him the price. Naruto pulled out the first bill he got which was well over the price. He slapped it down on the counter before running out. He had a clone pick up some chocolate and another buy a ruby necklace. He grabbed the three things then ran to the park. He snuck up behind her then sat on the swing next to her.

"Hey hime." She froze then look over and smiled as she saw Naruto with flowers and chocolate. She smiled as he stood up then walked behind her. He pulled out the necklace and put it on her. Kurenai lifted the gem and smiled as she saw the rubies in the shape of a heart and on the back was engraved, I love you she smiled at the simplistic engraving that got the point across. Then she paused and turned.

"Does this mean you forgive me and take me back?"

He didn't reply instead he leaned forward and kissed her. She felt his arms encircle his waist as he picked her up. She wrapped her legs around his chest as he shunshined back to his room. The two fell on his bed.

Tsume Hana and Kiba all sat wide eyed at the sounds coming from Naruto's room. Kiba just shivered as he imagined Hinata making those sounds. He passed out from the nose bleed that followed. Hana and Tsume didn't get much sleep that night.
