(Sasuke's POV)
Chapter 7-At Night.....
I wanted to leave Naruto alone after the whole "bush" incident. But I didn't, so I followed him, well actually I did until Neji sorta started to annoy me. I left for a while to train near the Hokage's office. On my way there, I passed the Hyuga residence. An easy, normal place to easy, normal people. To certain Uchihas who hate certain Hyugas, this was NOT an "easy, normal place". It's more of a "creepy, we-think-we're-all-that, fate-and-destiny-is-god" kind of place. I glared at it hoping something that would prevent Neji from seeing Naruto, would happen. But, of course, just staring at an object doesn't do you any good. You have to think of some sort of plan. I decided to do that later, AFTER training.
I soon arrived in a forest of trees that was behind the office. Everything seemed normal and I was ready to practice my chakra control. I needed COMPLETE concentration meaning I needed silence. I thought I was going to have some peace and quiet, but I was wrong...
((A.N: This was heard through an open window.))
"Give it up Tsunade-sama... I hate to break it to you but your gambling skills are pretty rusty."
"No! I refuse to lose! One more bet! I order you to continue, Tenten, cause I am Hokage!"
"But you're running out of money..."
"Don't worry! I won't be for long."
"But-"
(sound of slapping table)"This is how much my bet is!"
(sound of gasp)"Err...fine then. We'll continue...since you want to..."
"The Fifth! What are you doing?! You're supposed to be working! Not gambling with Tenten-kun."
"This IS work. I'm making money for the village! Shizune, you're my secretary not my boss. I order you to get out and let me help the village."
"But you'll end up losing-"
"Out! (sound of closing door) Ok then. Let's continue."
So much freaking noise....ugh I need to ignore this. Ok...drown out all uneeded sounds, and breathe. In, out, in-
"OH YEA! I win again Tsunade! In your face!.........Uhh, I didn't mean that."
"Don't worry. It's not like I never do it."
Ignore the voices.....just ignore them. In, out, in, out....(sigh) finally! Peace-
"ANOTHER game Tenten!"
"ALRIGHT!"
"I can't take it anymore! Argh! Some people can be so noisy!" I yelled unable to control my feelings. Probably cause I was emotionally unstable because of a "person" who believed in all sorts of shit. I gave up on training and decided to wander around the village.
"Tsunade who said that?"
"Who cares. Let's just gamble some more!"
"Err...fine."
I was walking around the village getting a workout, if you could call it one. Every minute I was thinking, thinking about Naruto and the asshole he's with. The thought wouldn't leave my mind...I didn't notice before that I was TRYING to thin up a plan. I was unconciously walking, and I didn't even know it.
::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::
(Meanwhile with Sakura and Ino-3rd POV)
"Ok Ino pig, I've cleaned out all the things in the shrine that has anything to do with Sasuke-kun" I hope I can keep some treasures. I'll stash it away when she's not looking...
"Oi. Thanks Sakura. And by the way stop saying Sasuke-kun! It's Neji-kun now...and bring me another glass of lemonade! Come on now! Chop-chop!" squeaked an annoying as hell Ino.
"You know Ino. Maybe you COULD help me with the labor of clearing everything out. Since it was, well, YOUR idea..." complained Sakura as she dragged a chair that Sasuke sat on and carried five textbooks Sasuke read in school. Of course most of the things in the shrine,or cave, was stolen by some desperately obssessed fangirls. There were photos OF Sasuke, bent kunais used BY Sasuke, empty shampoo bottles thrown away BY Sasuke, and even the leftovers of food EATEN BY Sasuke. (they were decomposed and stinking up the room pretty bad) And Sakura just lugged them all away putting them in a pile, hoping Ino would leave so she could steal some things for herself.
"Naw! I already contributed by coming up with idea, and YOU, big-foreheaded Sakura can contribute by putting all the things into that pile. (points) Now can you get my lemonade now?"
"NO! I'm already getting tired from emptying the shrine. Get the lemonade yourself," grumbled the sweating pink-haired teen, while furiously pushing a drawer that was USED BY Sasuke as a child. It was stuck in a tiny ditch though.
"Maybe I don't want lemonade after all, Ms. Cranky. I'll just use this time to get a tan," Ino yawned as she put on a pair of shades and took out a piece of thin metal. ((A.N: I have NO idea what those things are called. I'm a pale person...))
After many decades, or minutes, Sakura, face color matching hair color, finally cleaned out the cave. She slowly inched toward Ino, ready to steal her chair. But before she had the chance, Ino glanced at pink-haired girl and removed the shades off her own face.
"So....Sakura....finished?"
"Yea sure. Now can I have back the thing you stole from me?"
"Hmm...oh yea! Here's your dog plushie, or whatever. At this age sleeping with stuffed animals isn't really healthy."
"Shut up, Ino-pig."
"So now that you're finished can you come over to the pile. I wanna show you something. Something important." Ino asked, getting this evil type of look.
Ino, who was a shade darker, simply walked to the stack, while Sakura, slugged her way there. When Sakura finally reached her destination, the blonde began shoveling through her purse as the other girl tightly hugged her stuffed doggie in affectionately.
"Ino can you...err leave for a while....I need to umm....rest. Yea! Rest!" asked a desperate Sakura, wanting to hide a few things in her clothes.
(still digging though purse) "Sure! After we do one thing!"
"Fine. What?"
"Ok Sakura. As you can see, right in front of us are things the belonged or was used slash touched by Sasuke right?"
"Yea so..."
"Now that the shrine isn't based on Sasuke anymore we have to get rid of the stuff so..." Ino continued as she finally took out a pair of matches.
"So? Oh my god.....Ino-pig...INO-PIG! W-what are you going to d-do with th-th-those? Please don't tell me that..oh no.... PLEASE tell me that you smoke now! Just like your sensei. Say that you smoke. SAY IT!"
"I don't smoke." and with that the blonde lit 5 sticks at one time, and threw them into the pile. The flames started from the bottom and made their way toward the top, engulfing the entire pile of anything they had that reminded them of Sasuke. Sakura stared, stared in complete shock, jaw-on-ground shock. She just stood there, not moving an inch, heck not even breathing. All her plans of stealing or smugling any possesions of her future lover were gone. Her inner self went murderous while the outer was still in shock. Ino, however, seemed happy.
"Ino. Why did you do that?" asked the furious red-dressed girl, who was gritting her teeth.
"Because....Sasuke is the past. NEJI is the future. So we have to move on to step 2!"
"I'm tired. (AND READY TO KILL!) I want to go home. (AND KILL EVERY BLONDE I SEE!)"
"Fine. But since you asked for a break today....YOU will have to do MOST of the work tomorrow! I'll see you at nine!" Ino yelled as she skipped away creating all sorts of fantasies about Neji.
Sakura hugged her stuffed animal tightly, for she was pissed off as hell.
"I will kill the pig soon. Painfully and slowly. Maybe burn her just like she burned....yea! Together with your help D-Chan Ino will suffer!" she evilly stated to her plushie. "Soon, very soon...."
Sakura, temporarily insane, was on her way home.
::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::
Sasuke's POV
I couldn't get my mind off Naruto. So sitting in a forest for two hours thinking of a plan was a complete waste. Nothing came up. I didn't even get any training done! I was walking back into the village (still thinking) before I was clonked on the head with a book. An orange book. A perverted book. In other words, Kakashi's book.
"Hey Sasuke! Why didn't you sense me when I came up on you? (sigh) My pupils are letting their guards down each and everyday."
I glared at him, rubbing my head, muttering a few curses.
"Why are you here." I said slowly, and dangerously. I KNEW I was ABOUT to figure a plan out, but that damned book....
"Good question! But anyways I'm here because we have an out-of-village mission tomorrow."
"So?"
"So...you guys need to meet up at the Konoha gates three hours earlier. Oh and go tell Naruto and Sakura the news."
"How about you?"
"I've got things to do." and he just flipped open his book and left in that wierd purple smoke. ((A.N I'm not sure if it's purple for the only episode I have is 81.))
I left to look for Naruto, and Sakura? Err...I'll tell her tomorrow or something. But I didn't have to, for she was right in my way, waiting for me. Ugh damn that girl...
"Sasuke-kun, do you wanna-...(blush)..."
"Kakashi told me to tell you to come three hours earlier for our mission tomorrow. End of story. I have tell the dobe now."
"But-"
Luckily she didn't clamp onto me or anything so I was able to get away. Why won't she ever give up? Last time I saw Naruto, he mentioned something about shopping to Neji...shopping? If Naruto is going shopping then he must be in that new area in Konoha...the evil area full of pickpockets with all the bright signs. But still.....shopping? He must've ran into a tree today or somthing.
I wanted to know what was currently happening between him and Neji. What's with Naruto? Sure I may have freaky eyes during a battle, but Neji...NEJI! He has the freaky eyes 24/7 but they get even FREAKIER in battle. With all those veins...how the hell did the sharingan develop from.....from THAT? After a few minutes of mentally stating the many cons of Neji, I was able to hear Naruto talk from a distance.
"-It's like you're caring for me, but in a different way...."
Ok....ok....I'm not too late....That's good. I was about to jump in but my instincts told me to wait a bit longer, and I did.
"Are you serious?"
"Yea.........so......Can I keep the picture?!"
Neji's face fell after that. Maybe I don't really have to butt in after all. Naruto could automatically do it for me. But as seconds went by, Neji just moved closer and closer while Naruto... WHAT THE HELL WAS NARUTO DOING?! Spacing off?! I didn't want anything to happen, so I stepped in...but you see...I wasn't exactly thinking.
"Naruto."
And it took everything in me to make sure I didn't yell.
"Yes? What?"
My mind went blank right after that. I had to say something before he got suspicious and Neji, well he was already on to me, judging by the way he was glaring all sorts of daggers toward me.
"Kakashi-sensei wants to see you. Now. In the park."
Oh no. Wrong answer.
"What? Now? What does that preverted guy want now? (turns around) Hey Neji, I have to go. I'll see you later!"
Neji glared at me right after Naruto left. I smirked in reply before runnning off after him. There was a problem with what I said though. Where am I going to get a Kakashi after he "mysteriously" left in that smoke that must be bad for people's health. I sped up passing Naruto, who was muttering curses as I got by. Before my head was able to approve I used henge-no-jutsu to transform into Kakashi-sensei. Oh boy, how am I going to act like a pervert.
I sat on a bench waiting for Naruto, but I knew something was missing... Oh gawd, I didn't have "the book".
"SO, Pervert-sensei Jr. What do you want?"
"AH! Uhh. Yea. What I wanted...."
"Where's that stupid book you always read?"
"Uhh...Tomorrow we have an out-of-town mission."
"YAY! OUT-OF-TOWN mission! FINALLY! Something rewarding after finding that stupid Ukki-kun! So....where's the book?"
(sweatdrop) "So, you guys need to meet up at the Konoha gates three hours earlier."
"Ok. So where's the book?"
"I...uhh...have other things to do now. Bye Naruto."
::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::
(Naruto's POV)
"I...uhh...have other things to do now. Bye Naruto."
"Bye? Where's the-"
I just stood there as Kakashi-sensei left. Evrything was so wierd. He didn't have the book that he always has out. He was studdering while talking and was using alot of "uhh's". And the wierdest thing! He just ran away! No gay purple poofing smoke! He just....RAN into a bush! Maybe it was....hey where's Sasuke?! He ran ahead of me in this direction a while ago! Ahh...stupid Sasuke! I lightly yawned ready to go home and get some much needed sleep.
DAMMIT!
My apartment was on the other side of the village. Grr. I KNEW I should've learned that transportation justu thinga-ma-jig. Hmph! I slowly inched my way there. Slowly. Very Slowly. Oh what the heck!
(What's happening in Naruto's head)
Naruto: Yo! Fox! Are you there?!
Kyuubi: ...WHaT Is iT NOW BRaT?! (rattles cage trying to shake off seal)
Naruto: HEY! Don't do that! No matter how hard you try it'll never come off! You know why?!
Kyuubi: ...
Naruto: BECAUSE, it's pasted on with super glue! (grin)
Kyuubi:...
Naruto: NOW! The reason I'm here is because...(pause)...I need this month's rent!
Kyuubi: ReNt?! I'D rIP yOu InTO shReDs if It WEreN'T for thIs SeAL!
Naruto: Yea, but you CAN'T! Nya-nya! So PAY UP! This month's cost is....(counts on fingers)...FIVE BOWLS of ramen!
Kyuubi: HOw THe heLL Do I gET NooDleS wHen I'm SEaled AwAY?!?!?!
Naruto: I don't know...FIGURE it out yourself! So how do you expect to pay? Eh?
Kyuubi: ...
Naruto: No ramen? I thought so. Well, you can choose payment plan number 2!
Kyuubi: ...
Naruto: Lend me you speed!
Kyuubi: nO.
Naruto: WHAT do you mean NO! You have to pay! Or..I'll....I'll
Kyuubi: YoU'LL WHAT?! HUH? YoU CAn'T "KiCK" Me OUt!
Naruto: I'll...I won't leave till I get my pay. And you know what that means! I'll annoy the shit out of you!
Kyuubi:.....gO aHeAd. YOu CaN'T ANnOY Me.
Naruto: Ok fine then. Your funeral. (shakes head to get into character) (gets down on knees and hands looking like a dog) Ok.........HI I'm the SCARY ninetails! I'm THE ninetails that exists in Pokemon, and I live in a Pokeball that belongs to a guy who's eyes are closed. All I can say is: "NIIINE! Tails! Nine. Nine! TAIIIIIILS!" I'm the ninetails that doesn't know any English. I spit out fire and many water things can beat the shit out of me-
Kyuubi: .......
"-Oh! And my master that wears a pink apron can cook and has 55 bothers and sisters! My master's mom was probably some whore....AND I look VERY pretty (bats eyelashes) That's why all the girls think Ninetails are cute. Oh! OH! AND I can also be 2 centimeters tall on the gameboy! Oh and-
Kyuubi: (growls) FiNE! YOu cAn geT yoUR FrigGIn SpeeD! HavE FUn RuNNinG arOunD likE A LunATic.
Naruto: THANKS! I'll be back for next month's payment! You better have ramen next time.
(end mental arguement)
Ahh. Sometimes having a demon sealed in you is interesting! I ran off to my apartment, ready for some R&R.
::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::
(Neji's POV)
Notes to myself:
1) Glare at my evil uncle for 15 minutes (even though he apoligized)
2) Meditate
3) Glare at Hinata for some unknown reason.
Oh YEA! AND 4) Get back at Sasuke for turning my perfectly good day into hell.
Damn. I ran home only thinking about how I was going to get back at Uchiha. By the time I arrived, the moon was out. I walked up my room passing Hinata's annoying sister on the way. I wonder what she's doing here...
I was about to lie in bed to think so I took off my holster off my leg. If felt heavier than usual... Oh. The books. I pulled out the two bags that were crammed inside. I pulled a book out of a bag. It was...the yaoi one. Damn. Did fate REALLY have to choose THIS thing for me?! I wonder what Naruto thought of my "decision". .....err.....never mind that.
I threw Naruto's gift to the corner of my empty room. (shudders) I bet I'd never open that book up. I looked into the second bag. Somehow a kunai stabbed the corner of the book and shuriken carved holes everywhere else. Oh great. I spend over ten dollars for a book to only find it beat up. AND why the hell didn't the YAOI book get damaged? If I ever meet up with fate, I have some talking to do. ok book four was pretty.....unreadable but book 12 seemed....ok....a few holes here and there....but still....ok. I started to flatten out the piercings my kunais made in book 4. As soon as I was satisfied I examined the cover and the pictures inside.
Ok. The cover showed Naruto standing next to a...a...girl? Or a guy? I couldn't tell. Is it a girl? I soon decided to drop the subject and glanced at the background. Theres was a guy with bandages over his mouth, and he didn't have eyebrows. Geez, Lee doesn't know how lucky he is to have extra hair near the eyes. Wait how can that be lucky?! (chuckle).........Did I just laugh??? Uzumaki's starting to rub onto me. I opened up the book toward the middle and I saw Uchiha....on the floor.....dead. Dead? What?! If all this is true...shouldn't he be 10 feet underground now? I looked around for any details about how the Uchiha died, and I found something. It was a page about the previous volume. So....(reads) Sasuke died.....(reads some more) died to save Naruto... this is probably before the chuunin exam too. So if Uchiha didn't take the hit, Naruto would've..... I never would've come out of the shadows of my past... I put the thought in the back of my mind moving on. I flipped a few pages coming to chapter 28. There was the word "nine" and a permanent hole followed after not finishing the word. Nine? But, I didn't need to refix the page for I knew what it said judging by the chapter picture. It showed Naruto with some sort of a fox-like chakra surrounding him. The only fox I knew with the word "nine" relating to it was a demon. A deadly demon. The demon that existed fifteen years ago. What in the name of fate is going on? Why would some demon relate to Naruto? It's not like he's....the....ninetails... Oh god....everything started to make sense.
"You can NEVER understand what it's like to be burdened with a symbol you could never get rid of!!!"
"Yeah I can....And? So what?........Pfft...Stop acting cool. You're not the only one who's special."
"I want to become Hokage, so all the villagers will finally adknowledge me"
"Heh...your 64 opening points are closed. You won't be able to use chakra for a while, how can we fight?"
He then got angry at me and used some chakra after all. It was some different colored chakra. It was the ninetails chakra...I don't believe it. A demon, not to mention a guy, claims my heart and....hmmm I can't find the right words.
I slipped into bed for I was quite tired. I've come to a conclusion... Loving a demon....it...... it has never felt so good.
::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::
(Sasuke's POV)
After the whole "be-your-sensei" incident I decided to just go home. I highly doubted that Neji would try more stuff for the day. I needed a new plan for the whole "Kakashi" thing didn't go as well as I thought I could make it. Does love always causes people to work THIS hard? Damn...Naruto has no idea about what I would do for him...
On my way home I noticed Tenten dragging some huge bag...must be all the winnings from her noisy gambling with our Hokage. She seemed to have a hard time. Should I help her? (long mental pause) Uhhh..... (another long mental pause) No. Simple! As hard working as me I never liked how fangirls would glomp me including....her. Oh wait. That was Sakura and Ino...... DAMN Neji is causing my head to jumble up! I slowly walked over to her regretting each step I took.
"Hey Tenten, need help with that?"
"...."
"I asked if you wanted some hel-"
Tenten, with her sack of money, just disappeared before I could finish my sentence... Hmph. Women. See this is why I'm not straight. I simply walked home thinking up a new plan for the new day.

(Sasuke's POV)
Chapter 7-At Night.....
I wanted to leave Naruto alone after the whole "bush" incident. But I didn't, so I followed him, well actually I did until Neji sorta started to annoy me. I left for a while to train near the Hokage's office. On my way there, I passed the Hyuga residence. An easy, normal place to easy, normal people. To certain Uchihas who hate certain Hyugas, this was NOT an "easy, normal place". It's more of a "creepy, we-think-we're-all-that, fate-and-destiny-is-god" kind of place. I glared at it hoping something that would prevent Neji from seeing Naruto, would happen. But, of course, just staring at an object doesn't do you any good. You have to think of some sort of plan. I decided to do that later, AFTER training.
I soon arrived in a forest of trees that was behind the office. Everything seemed normal and I was ready to practice my chakra control. I needed COMPLETE concentration meaning I needed silence. I thought I was going to have some peace and quiet, but I was wrong...
((A.N: This was heard through an open window.))
"Give it up Tsunade-sama... I hate to break it to you but your gambling skills are pretty rusty."
"No! I refuse to lose! One more bet! I order you to continue, Tenten, cause I am Hokage!"
"But you're running out of money..."
"Don't worry! I won't be for long."
"But-"
(sound of slapping table)"This is how much my bet is!"
(sound of gasp)"Err...fine then. We'll continue...since you want to..."
"The Fifth! What are you doing?! You're supposed to be working! Not gambling with Tenten-kun."
"This IS work. I'm making money for the village! Shizune, you're my secretary not my boss. I order you to get out and let me help the village."
"But you'll end up losing-"
"Out! (sound of closing door) Ok then. Let's continue."
So much freaking noise....ugh I need to ignore this. Ok...drown out all uneeded sounds, and breathe. In, out, in-
"OH YEA! I win again Tsunade! In your face!.........Uhh, I didn't mean that."
"Don't worry. It's not like I never do it."
Ignore the voices.....just ignore them. In, out, in, out....(sigh) finally! Peace-
"ANOTHER game Tenten!"
"ALRIGHT!"
"I can't take it anymore! Argh! Some people can be so noisy!" I yelled unable to control my feelings. Probably cause I was emotionally unstable because of a "person" who believed in all sorts of shit. I gave up on training and decided to wander around the village.
"Tsunade who said that?"
"Who cares. Let's just gamble some more!"
"Err...fine."
I was walking around the village getting a workout, if you could call it one. Every minute I was thinking, thinking about Naruto and the asshole he's with. The thought wouldn't leave my mind...I didn't notice before that I was TRYING to thin up a plan. I was unconciously walking, and I didn't even know it.

(Meanwhile with Sakura and Ino-3rd POV)
"Ok Ino pig, I've cleaned out all the things in the shrine that has anything to do with Sasuke-kun" I hope I can keep some treasures. I'll stash it away when she's not looking...
"Oi. Thanks Sakura. And by the way stop saying Sasuke-kun! It's Neji-kun now...and bring me another glass of lemonade! Come on now! Chop-chop!" squeaked an annoying as hell Ino.
"You know Ino. Maybe you COULD help me with the labor of clearing everything out. Since it was, well, YOUR idea..." complained Sakura as she dragged a chair that Sasuke sat on and carried five textbooks Sasuke read in school. Of course most of the things in the shrine,or cave, was stolen by some desperately obssessed fangirls. There were photos OF Sasuke, bent kunais used BY Sasuke, empty shampoo bottles thrown away BY Sasuke, and even the leftovers of food EATEN BY Sasuke. (they were decomposed and stinking up the room pretty bad) And Sakura just lugged them all away putting them in a pile, hoping Ino would leave so she could steal some things for herself.
"Naw! I already contributed by coming up with idea, and YOU, big-foreheaded Sakura can contribute by putting all the things into that pile. (points) Now can you get my lemonade now?"
"NO! I'm already getting tired from emptying the shrine. Get the lemonade yourself," grumbled the sweating pink-haired teen, while furiously pushing a drawer that was USED BY Sasuke as a child. It was stuck in a tiny ditch though.
"Maybe I don't want lemonade after all, Ms. Cranky. I'll just use this time to get a tan," Ino yawned as she put on a pair of shades and took out a piece of thin metal. ((A.N: I have NO idea what those things are called. I'm a pale person...))
After many decades, or minutes, Sakura, face color matching hair color, finally cleaned out the cave. She slowly inched toward Ino, ready to steal her chair. But before she had the chance, Ino glanced at pink-haired girl and removed the shades off her own face.
"So....Sakura....finished?"
"Yea sure. Now can I have back the thing you stole from me?"
"Hmm...oh yea! Here's your dog plushie, or whatever. At this age sleeping with stuffed animals isn't really healthy."
"Shut up, Ino-pig."
"So now that you're finished can you come over to the pile. I wanna show you something. Something important." Ino asked, getting this evil type of look.
Ino, who was a shade darker, simply walked to the stack, while Sakura, slugged her way there. When Sakura finally reached her destination, the blonde began shoveling through her purse as the other girl tightly hugged her stuffed doggie in affectionately.
"Ino can you...err leave for a while....I need to umm....rest. Yea! Rest!" asked a desperate Sakura, wanting to hide a few things in her clothes.
(still digging though purse) "Sure! After we do one thing!"
"Fine. What?"
"Ok Sakura. As you can see, right in front of us are things the belonged or was used slash touched by Sasuke right?"
"Yea so..."
"Now that the shrine isn't based on Sasuke anymore we have to get rid of the stuff so..." Ino continued as she finally took out a pair of matches.
"So? Oh my god.....Ino-pig...INO-PIG! W-what are you going to d-do with th-th-those? Please don't tell me that..oh no.... PLEASE tell me that you smoke now! Just like your sensei. Say that you smoke. SAY IT!"
"I don't smoke." and with that the blonde lit 5 sticks at one time, and threw them into the pile. The flames started from the bottom and made their way toward the top, engulfing the entire pile of anything they had that reminded them of Sasuke. Sakura stared, stared in complete shock, jaw-on-ground shock. She just stood there, not moving an inch, heck not even breathing. All her plans of stealing or smugling any possesions of her future lover were gone. Her inner self went murderous while the outer was still in shock. Ino, however, seemed happy.
"Ino. Why did you do that?" asked the furious red-dressed girl, who was gritting her teeth.
"Because....Sasuke is the past. NEJI is the future. So we have to move on to step 2!"
"I'm tired. (AND READY TO KILL!) I want to go home. (AND KILL EVERY BLONDE I SEE!)"
"Fine. But since you asked for a break today....YOU will have to do MOST of the work tomorrow! I'll see you at nine!" Ino yelled as she skipped away creating all sorts of fantasies about Neji.
Sakura hugged her stuffed animal tightly, for she was pissed off as hell.
"I will kill the pig soon. Painfully and slowly. Maybe burn her just like she burned....yea! Together with your help D-Chan Ino will suffer!" she evilly stated to her plushie. "Soon, very soon...."
Sakura, temporarily insane, was on her way home.

Sasuke's POV
I couldn't get my mind off Naruto. So sitting in a forest for two hours thinking of a plan was a complete waste. Nothing came up. I didn't even get any training done! I was walking back into the village (still thinking) before I was clonked on the head with a book. An orange book. A perverted book. In other words, Kakashi's book.
"Hey Sasuke! Why didn't you sense me when I came up on you? (sigh) My pupils are letting their guards down each and everyday."
I glared at him, rubbing my head, muttering a few curses.
"Why are you here." I said slowly, and dangerously. I KNEW I was ABOUT to figure a plan out, but that damned book....
"Good question! But anyways I'm here because we have an out-of-village mission tomorrow."
"So?"
"So...you guys need to meet up at the Konoha gates three hours earlier. Oh and go tell Naruto and Sakura the news."
"How about you?"
"I've got things to do." and he just flipped open his book and left in that wierd purple smoke. ((A.N I'm not sure if it's purple for the only episode I have is 81.))
I left to look for Naruto, and Sakura? Err...I'll tell her tomorrow or something. But I didn't have to, for she was right in my way, waiting for me. Ugh damn that girl...
"Sasuke-kun, do you wanna-...(blush)..."
"Kakashi told me to tell you to come three hours earlier for our mission tomorrow. End of story. I have tell the dobe now."
"But-"
Luckily she didn't clamp onto me or anything so I was able to get away. Why won't she ever give up? Last time I saw Naruto, he mentioned something about shopping to Neji...shopping? If Naruto is going shopping then he must be in that new area in Konoha...the evil area full of pickpockets with all the bright signs. But still.....shopping? He must've ran into a tree today or somthing.
I wanted to know what was currently happening between him and Neji. What's with Naruto? Sure I may have freaky eyes during a battle, but Neji...NEJI! He has the freaky eyes 24/7 but they get even FREAKIER in battle. With all those veins...how the hell did the sharingan develop from.....from THAT? After a few minutes of mentally stating the many cons of Neji, I was able to hear Naruto talk from a distance.
"-It's like you're caring for me, but in a different way...."
Ok....ok....I'm not too late....That's good. I was about to jump in but my instincts told me to wait a bit longer, and I did.
"Are you serious?"
"Yea.........so......Can I keep the picture?!"
Neji's face fell after that. Maybe I don't really have to butt in after all. Naruto could automatically do it for me. But as seconds went by, Neji just moved closer and closer while Naruto... WHAT THE HELL WAS NARUTO DOING?! Spacing off?! I didn't want anything to happen, so I stepped in...but you see...I wasn't exactly thinking.
"Naruto."
And it took everything in me to make sure I didn't yell.
"Yes? What?"
My mind went blank right after that. I had to say something before he got suspicious and Neji, well he was already on to me, judging by the way he was glaring all sorts of daggers toward me.
"Kakashi-sensei wants to see you. Now. In the park."
Oh no. Wrong answer.
"What? Now? What does that preverted guy want now? (turns around) Hey Neji, I have to go. I'll see you later!"
Neji glared at me right after Naruto left. I smirked in reply before runnning off after him. There was a problem with what I said though. Where am I going to get a Kakashi after he "mysteriously" left in that smoke that must be bad for people's health. I sped up passing Naruto, who was muttering curses as I got by. Before my head was able to approve I used henge-no-jutsu to transform into Kakashi-sensei. Oh boy, how am I going to act like a pervert.
I sat on a bench waiting for Naruto, but I knew something was missing... Oh gawd, I didn't have "the book".
"SO, Pervert-sensei Jr. What do you want?"
"AH! Uhh. Yea. What I wanted...."
"Where's that stupid book you always read?"
"Uhh...Tomorrow we have an out-of-town mission."
"YAY! OUT-OF-TOWN mission! FINALLY! Something rewarding after finding that stupid Ukki-kun! So....where's the book?"
(sweatdrop) "So, you guys need to meet up at the Konoha gates three hours earlier."
"Ok. So where's the book?"
"I...uhh...have other things to do now. Bye Naruto."
::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::
(Naruto's POV)
"I...uhh...have other things to do now. Bye Naruto."
"Bye? Where's the-"
I just stood there as Kakashi-sensei left. Evrything was so wierd. He didn't have the book that he always has out. He was studdering while talking and was using alot of "uhh's". And the wierdest thing! He just ran away! No gay purple poofing smoke! He just....RAN into a bush! Maybe it was....hey where's Sasuke?! He ran ahead of me in this direction a while ago! Ahh...stupid Sasuke! I lightly yawned ready to go home and get some much needed sleep.
DAMMIT!
My apartment was on the other side of the village. Grr. I KNEW I should've learned that transportation justu thinga-ma-jig. Hmph! I slowly inched my way there. Slowly. Very Slowly. Oh what the heck!
(What's happening in Naruto's head)
Naruto: Yo! Fox! Are you there?!
Kyuubi: ...WHaT Is iT NOW BRaT?! (rattles cage trying to shake off seal)
Naruto: HEY! Don't do that! No matter how hard you try it'll never come off! You know why?!
Kyuubi: ...
Naruto: BECAUSE, it's pasted on with super glue! (grin)
Kyuubi:...
Naruto: NOW! The reason I'm here is because...(pause)...I need this month's rent!
Kyuubi: ReNt?! I'D rIP yOu InTO shReDs if It WEreN'T for thIs SeAL!
Naruto: Yea, but you CAN'T! Nya-nya! So PAY UP! This month's cost is....(counts on fingers)...FIVE BOWLS of ramen!
Kyuubi: HOw THe heLL Do I gET NooDleS wHen I'm SEaled AwAY?!?!?!
Naruto: I don't know...FIGURE it out yourself! So how do you expect to pay? Eh?
Kyuubi: ...
Naruto: No ramen? I thought so. Well, you can choose payment plan number 2!
Kyuubi: ...
Naruto: Lend me you speed!
Kyuubi: nO.
Naruto: WHAT do you mean NO! You have to pay! Or..I'll....I'll
Kyuubi: YoU'LL WHAT?! HUH? YoU CAn'T "KiCK" Me OUt!
Naruto: I'll...I won't leave till I get my pay. And you know what that means! I'll annoy the shit out of you!
Kyuubi:.....gO aHeAd. YOu CaN'T ANnOY Me.
Naruto: Ok fine then. Your funeral. (shakes head to get into character) (gets down on knees and hands looking like a dog) Ok.........HI I'm the SCARY ninetails! I'm THE ninetails that exists in Pokemon, and I live in a Pokeball that belongs to a guy who's eyes are closed. All I can say is: "NIIINE! Tails! Nine. Nine! TAIIIIIILS!" I'm the ninetails that doesn't know any English. I spit out fire and many water things can beat the shit out of me-
Kyuubi: .......
"-Oh! And my master that wears a pink apron can cook and has 55 bothers and sisters! My master's mom was probably some whore....AND I look VERY pretty (bats eyelashes) That's why all the girls think Ninetails are cute. Oh! OH! AND I can also be 2 centimeters tall on the gameboy! Oh and-
Kyuubi: (growls) FiNE! YOu cAn geT yoUR FrigGIn SpeeD! HavE FUn RuNNinG arOunD likE A LunATic.
Naruto: THANKS! I'll be back for next month's payment! You better have ramen next time.
(end mental arguement)
Ahh. Sometimes having a demon sealed in you is interesting! I ran off to my apartment, ready for some R&R.
::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::
(Neji's POV)
Notes to myself:
1) Glare at my evil uncle for 15 minutes (even though he apoligized)
2) Meditate
3) Glare at Hinata for some unknown reason.
Oh YEA! AND 4) Get back at Sasuke for turning my perfectly good day into hell.
Damn. I ran home only thinking about how I was going to get back at Uchiha. By the time I arrived, the moon was out. I walked up my room passing Hinata's annoying sister on the way. I wonder what she's doing here...
I was about to lie in bed to think so I took off my holster off my leg. If felt heavier than usual... Oh. The books. I pulled out the two bags that were crammed inside. I pulled a book out of a bag. It was...the yaoi one. Damn. Did fate REALLY have to choose THIS thing for me?! I wonder what Naruto thought of my "decision". .....err.....never mind that.
I threw Naruto's gift to the corner of my empty room. (shudders) I bet I'd never open that book up. I looked into the second bag. Somehow a kunai stabbed the corner of the book and shuriken carved holes everywhere else. Oh great. I spend over ten dollars for a book to only find it beat up. AND why the hell didn't the YAOI book get damaged? If I ever meet up with fate, I have some talking to do. ok book four was pretty.....unreadable but book 12 seemed....ok....a few holes here and there....but still....ok. I started to flatten out the piercings my kunais made in book 4. As soon as I was satisfied I examined the cover and the pictures inside.
Ok. The cover showed Naruto standing next to a...a...girl? Or a guy? I couldn't tell. Is it a girl? I soon decided to drop the subject and glanced at the background. Theres was a guy with bandages over his mouth, and he didn't have eyebrows. Geez, Lee doesn't know how lucky he is to have extra hair near the eyes. Wait how can that be lucky?! (chuckle).........Did I just laugh??? Uzumaki's starting to rub onto me. I opened up the book toward the middle and I saw Uchiha....on the floor.....dead. Dead? What?! If all this is true...shouldn't he be 10 feet underground now? I looked around for any details about how the Uchiha died, and I found something. It was a page about the previous volume. So....(reads) Sasuke died.....(reads some more) died to save Naruto... this is probably before the chuunin exam too. So if Uchiha didn't take the hit, Naruto would've..... I never would've come out of the shadows of my past... I put the thought in the back of my mind moving on. I flipped a few pages coming to chapter 28. There was the word "nine" and a permanent hole followed after not finishing the word. Nine? But, I didn't need to refix the page for I knew what it said judging by the chapter picture. It showed Naruto with some sort of a fox-like chakra surrounding him. The only fox I knew with the word "nine" relating to it was a demon. A deadly demon. The demon that existed fifteen years ago. What in the name of fate is going on? Why would some demon relate to Naruto? It's not like he's....the....ninetails... Oh god....everything started to make sense.
"You can NEVER understand what it's like to be burdened with a symbol you could never get rid of!!!"
"Yeah I can....And? So what?........Pfft...Stop acting cool. You're not the only one who's special."
"I want to become Hokage, so all the villagers will finally adknowledge me"
"Heh...your 64 opening points are closed. You won't be able to use chakra for a while, how can we fight?"
He then got angry at me and used some chakra after all. It was some different colored chakra. It was the ninetails chakra...I don't believe it. A demon, not to mention a guy, claims my heart and....hmmm I can't find the right words.
I slipped into bed for I was quite tired. I've come to a conclusion... Loving a demon....it...... it has never felt so good.
::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::-----::
(Sasuke's POV)
After the whole "be-your-sensei" incident I decided to just go home. I highly doubted that Neji would try more stuff for the day. I needed a new plan for the whole "Kakashi" thing didn't go as well as I thought I could make it. Does love always causes people to work THIS hard? Damn...Naruto has no idea about what I would do for him...
On my way home I noticed Tenten dragging some huge bag...must be all the winnings from her noisy gambling with our Hokage. She seemed to have a hard time. Should I help her? (long mental pause) Uhhh..... (another long mental pause) No. Simple! As hard working as me I never liked how fangirls would glomp me including....her. Oh wait. That was Sakura and Ino...... DAMN Neji is causing my head to jumble up! I slowly walked over to her regretting each step I took.
"Hey Tenten, need help with that?"
"...."
"I asked if you wanted some hel-"
Tenten, with her sack of money, just disappeared before I could finish my sentence... Hmph. Women. See this is why I'm not straight. I simply walked home thinking up a new plan for the new day.
