"That movie was so romantic." Sakura and Ino said as the group walked on toward Naruto's home. Kairi stared at the two girls that laughed and talked with each other. She felt like a total outcast. Everyone had someone to talk to even exasperated Sasuke had people to talk to even though he seemed a bit annoyed by the clingy girls. She looked at everyone who had a great time and her heart gripped in pain.

Naruto was as loud as ever as he talked to Kiba. Shikamaru had an enticing conversation about food with Choji. As for the girls, they fought over whom Sasuke loved best. Sasuke was getting irritable and she wondered how much patience the guy had until he burst out in anger. Gaara listened in on Kiba and Shikamaru food conversation and would talk a bit if Shikamaru or Choji asked him a question.

It's always like this. She would have rather stayed home than be there. Kairi knew she was the third wheel and she was invisible to everyone. She tilted her head toward the floor as she looked at the cement. She did keep watch in the front of her to see where the group was going but she stayed silent most of the time.

"Kairi are you alright?" Naruto walked beside her and put a hand on her shoulder. Worry filled his eyes and Kairi smiled.

"Yeah no problem." Naruto gave her a big grin.

"So how'd you like the movie? It was a total chick flick but Sakura and Ino seemed to enjoy it. For me personally it was kind of a snore you know. I mean where the girl dramatically falls in love with the guy is kind of off and predictable seeing they liked each other so much but how did you like?"

She smiled at how he talked so much. He was really chatty and very different. The clothes that he wears are as bright as ever but it did match with his personality.

"I liked it but it would go better if they had a fighting scene or two."

"Yeah I thought so to. It was a-" A car pulled up beside the curb as a man walked out. The group didn't pay no attention to him but Kairi on the other hand stopped in place. Naruto stopped as well, looking at the guy and then back at a frightened expression on Kairi's face.

Everyone turned around as they quickly notice that Naruto's ranting has stopped. The teenage boy walked toward Kairi with an ominous smile on his face. Naruto didn't understand why Kairi was trembling and why she looked so afraid.

"Kairi it's good to see you." The dark haired boy gently lifted up Kairi's trembling hands and pressed it up against his lips. Kairi winced as his lips touched her hand but fear took hold of her, preventing her to move. Naruto didn't fail to notice her fear and he grabbed her wrist from his grasp.

"Who the hell are you?" Naruto said with anger. He didn't know why he should be angry in the first place but the look on Kairi's face didn't comfort him.

"Hm. You should step away boy." He said with a smile. His tone wasn't a tone of anger but it sounded playful. It was like he was toying with him and he didn't like it one bit.

"Like hell I will."

"Well than I wouldn't want to injury you in public but you leave me no choice." He quickly flung his right fist toward Naruto, a slight grin was placed on his face as Kairi held his wrist firmly, preventing him from hitting the blond in the jaw. Naruto stood there in shock, as the dark haired boy's fist was millimeters away from his face.

"No. Don't hurt anyone." Kairi let go of his wrist as he retracted his arm back to his side.

He smiled at the girl and lifted her chin. "Than you know what to do." Kairi soon glared at him and slapped his hand aside. The others stood beside her and looked at the man with hatred.

"I'm not taking your damn orders anymore Sai. Just leave me alone or I'll-"

"You'll what? You think you can hide. We'll find you if you try to run and if you think you can hide behind these pathetic boys you're wrong. I'll let you have your fun for now but when I get things settled. I'll be coming to look for you." With a smirk he turned around and entered his car. Driving away from the curb and disappearing, Kairi fell to her knees.

"Kairi!" Naruto crouched down beside her.

"I can't stay here." She whispered as tears streaked her face.

"What? Come on Kairi we better get you back home." Kairi didn't comply with what he said but sat there. Moments later she trembled as she got up slowly and faced everyone.

"I have to go. Thank you so much for everything. I really appreciate everything you've done for me." With a quick bow she turned to head toward the opposite direction. Sasuke pushed pass everyone and quickly gripped her wrist before she could even take a step. As Sasuke expected, Kairi fought back but held her firmly in place.

"Let me go." Kairi took a swing at him and successfully landed a punch to his jaw. She jerked her hand but he still held her wrist firmly in place. She clenched her fist once again to land another punch.

"I'm sorry Kairi." Sasuke pulled her toward him and jabbed her stomach. Pain ran through her but before she could even feel the pain she passed out in Sasuke's arms.

"Sasuke what are you doing?" Sakura said as everyone looked at him in shock. Gaara even had a slight expression on his face. Cradling Kairi in his arms, She lifted her up and looked at Naruto and the others.

"We can't just let her leave. Lets just go. I'll explain when we get home."

"Money! How much money does she need?" Naruto shouted slamming his hands on the kitchen table.

"She didn't tell me the amount." Sasuke replied with his hands folded under his chin.

"If she needs money. Then I can give it to her." Gaara said Monotonously.

"Well you are loaded with cash seeing that your family runs the biggest oil company in the city and the University but from how- Sai I think his name was- reacted it must be a lot of money." Sakura sat on the kitchen counter as she thought things through.

"We known her for 5 days tops and she's already getting us involved with her troubles." Sasuke stated.

"I don't care! I'm not going to abandon her like that to deal with that guy alone!" Naruto yelled as he glared at Sasuke.

"I'm just saying. It's not like I want her out. I kept her from going so do you think I want her out of here to deal with that problem by herself." Everyone grew quiet as minutes passed. They were deep in thought, trying to sink in everything that has happened.

"Well when she wakes up we have to talk to her." Shikamaru said breaking the silence.

"If we talk to her about it right away than she'll figure out a way to sneak out of here. So why not give her a few days to sort her mind out to trust us. Sakura, Ino." Sasuke looked at the two by the counter as they looked at him. "I'll give you the money to go shopping and can you buy her clothes to last her for a least 2 weeks?" They nodded, Sasuke stood up and head toward his room to get some money but was soon stopped by a hand on his shoulder.

"Here. Use my credit card and don't worry about the prices just pick out anything she might wear." Gaara handed the girls the credit card and they scurried out the door.

Sasuke sat back down and nodded toward the red head. "I know you guys just met her for only a day but-"

"Hey, any friend of Naruto's is a friend of ours so skip the bullshit and tell us the plan." Kiba said with a grin.

Placing a hand on her stomach she slowly opened her eyes and sat up. She couldn't believe she was still in Sasuke's room. Was it a dream? Her thoughts went back to what she had remembered before everything went black. Sai.

Sliding her foot on the floor she quickly got up and opened the door. She couldn't stay there anymore she would only cause trouble for everyone around her. Kairi ran through the corridor and into the living and opened the front door.

"Where are you going?" She turned and faced Naruto and Sasuke along with the others. She stood there as she looked out the front door to her escape and glanced back at the people who saved her life. With careful deliberation she looked away from them and walked out.

"Hey." Sasuke got up and grabbed her wrist; yanking her back in the house he slammed the door. " I don't want to have to knock you out again." He said with a stern voice.

"Kairi we can help you. We have money for you to pay off anything you need to pay off." Sakura looked at Gaara who merely nodded to the girl. The plan to not confront her so soon failed and now it was off to plan 2. Go all out in the open and if she runs, knock her out. It was an unfit plan but it had to be done.

"You can't come up with the amount of money I need. It's to much besides I don't need your help just-"

"You should have thought about that before you knocked on our door." Sasuke held her wrist tightly just in case plan number 2 had to be done.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have came here I just needed help with-"

"That's why were here. We don't know you to well so that's why we're going to try and help you out as well as get to know you better. You just have to trust us." Naruto stood up and walked toward her.

"I can't I'll get you all-" With an embrace from the blond the two girls smiled at how affectionate Naruto has become. Sasuke felt a glare tugging on his face but it wasn't the time to get angry. The Raven let go of her wrist seeing that she was calmed down although jealousy clung to his chest as she wrapped her arms around Naruto.

"Just stay here with us. We'll help you just tell us what you need." She pulled away from his grasp and sighed.

"You want me to stay?"

"Of course we want you to stay Kairi. Were here for you." Kiba curled his hand into a fist and raised a thumb assuring her that everything was going to be all right.

"Thank you so much."

"No way! Naruto you're the best!" Kairi ran to Naruto and wrapped her arms around him. Sasuke glared at the idiots as he began to read. He didn't understand why the girl liked the blond so much and never paid any attention to him. Every girl clung to him except this one girl. It wasn't like he wanted Kairi to be all over him but he also didn't want her to cling to Naruto either. He didn't want Naruto go anywhere near Kairi.

As irrational as Naruto was and how loud he was how can anyone put up with him? Sasuke narrowed his eyes as Kairi kissed Naruto on the cheek. Gripping the book in his hands he began to read once again.

"Naruto you're the best. I so love you." Kairi squealed as she remained hugging the blond. Naruto blushed as he tried to keep his composure. With his knuckles white from gripping the book so tightly he closed the book and slammed it on the coffee table. Kairi and Naruto glanced at the angered raven and with his hellish glares piercing through the two Kairi let Naruto go and both of their grins disappeared.

"You're so damn loud. I'm trying to study and you two are there giggling and ranting and how the hell can I study with all this noise." Naruto raised an eyebrow and smirked. He knew that expression on Sasuke's face even though he hadn't seen it before. The thought of Sasuke jealous over a girl who clung to him so much made Naruto smirk widen.

"Chill out Sasuke. School doesn't start for a couple of weeks. Thanks to a sudden explosion in two of the labs, you should put down the book and have some fun. I know were going to have some vacations cut out from school days like Christmas and stuff but hey, an extended summer is all the better." Sasuke hated when Naruto was so cocky. He knew very well that this was going to start an argument. Sasuke glared at the smirking blond and Kairi felt tension in the air as the two brothers stared at each other.

"Shut up. I didn't get the fucking memo." Sasuke got up and head toward the kitchen. Kairi gave him a look but soon averted her eyes back to Naruto.

"I appreciate that you enrolled me in school. I have been to high school and completed the 4 years but she wasn't allowed to go to college.

"It's all thanks to Gaara actually, his parents, seeing that there the president of the university, they totally hooked you up although we do need information to fill out your application. Since you're living with us and the university is close by you don't need a dorm room so all we need is info." Kairi tensed up as the word information rang through her ears.

"What kind of information?" She said nervously.

"Don't worry we can lie on some stuff like where you came from and all that but how about your name. Sasuke said you don't have a last name so maybe we can lie about that to." Sitting on the couch Naruto and Kairi thought about a last name she could have. He soon jumped up and looked at her. "How about one of our last names." Naruto said as he motioned to himself and Sasuke who sat in the kitchen. "Hmm Kairi Uzumaki or Kairi Uchiha."

"Yeah, she can pick one of our names and how are we going to explain how she is related to us." Sasuke spat out as he overheard their conversation through the kitchen.

" Well we can say she's our sister or one of our cousin's." Naruto leaned back on the chair, deep in thought.

"Why don't I just use the name Kurosaki? Kairi Kurosaki. It's perfect." Naruto nodded and Kairi just smiled as she stood up and grabbed his wrist. With a grin on her face and Sasuke tilting his head to see what she was doing, Kairi dragged Naruto to the front door.

"Lets celebrate. We should get the others and get a drink at one of the bars or something." Naruto smiled shyly and Kairi looked at him.

"Oh are you under age?" She inquired.

"No I'm old enough but you look kinda young to be-" She lifted up her license and smiled.

"See I'm old enough as well so you don't have to worry." Kairi pulled Naruto out the door before Sasuke or Naruto could say anything and closed the door. Sasuke clenched his hand into a fist as a slight growl escaped though his gritting teeth.

"Damn! That was sick!" Kiba rammed into the front door with Naruto's arm slung around his neck to keep him from falling. Kiba and Naruto staggered in the living room as Sasuke arched an eyebrow.

"Where's the girl?" He said calmly to the two drunken idiots. Kiba turned his head toward the door and shrugged. Sasuke got up rapidly and walked up to Kiba, clenching his shirt angrily in his hands.

"Where the hell is she you stupid-"

"Aww man you ar-ll way cr-uel" Kairi slurred as she entered the living room about to fall. Sasuke let go of the idiot and caught her before she could face plant into the wooden floor. "Hey S-Sasuke." Sasuke picked her up as a slight redness brushed her cheek. They were all wasted and he couldn't believe they even got back without getting lost.

"How much did you drink?" Sasuke sat her down on the couch as Kiba threw Naruto beside her and took a seat next to the blond.

"She lost." Kiba blurted out. "Naruto won and I took last place while Sakura and Ino took third and fourth. Even Gaara beat me, fuck." Sasuke just looked at the idiot in confusion.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Sasuke put a hand on Kairi's forehead to make sure she wasn't getting sick.

"Drinking contest. Gaara paid for 50 shots of tequila and with that set in front of all of us. We had to drink until you couldn't take it anymore. Money was involved so I had to take the challenge. Naruto won $300 dollars from this guy who thought he could win and Kairi challenged this fat guy and she won as well, she got $200 in cash it was awesome. We still had a lot of shots left so Sakura, Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Naruto, Kairi, even Gaara and me had our own little contest but we didn't bet money. Just for fun." Sasuke could tell that Kiba was at a point of passing out and he shook his bed.

"Damn you guys are idiots." He spat out as he carried Kairi and walked toward his room. Although they made a fool out of there selves but he had to admit that they had next months rent paid off. Seeing that the two on the couch passed out Sasuke ignored there slight moans as he entered the room and set her on the bed.

Kairi smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Stay wit mee." She slurred as she held him tightly.

"Kairi come on your drunk. Let go of me." Kairi laid there with her arms around the bent Sasuke. He buckled his knees and he placed his arms beside her head, trying not to fall on her.

"I'm 'ot Drunk." She replied as she hugged him closer to her.

"Kairi if you don't let me go I'll-" His lips connected with hers and he froze for a moment as the smell of liquor stung his nose. He ignored the smell and slightly departed his lips to grant her accuse to his mouth. Sasuke's muscles eased up as her tongue licked the roof of his mouth.

"Well what do we have here?" Sasuke jerked out of her grasp and looked at the door. He turned to see Kakashi leaning against the doorframe with a smirk on his face.

"What are you doing in here?" He asked as he gathered his composure.

"I see you took advantage of the girl while she was drunk. Don't you think she likes Naruto better than you? I don't think she would like it that you took advantage of her." Kakashi remained leaning on the doorframe as he stared contently at the glaring raven.

"She's the one who kissed me." Sasuke knew he didn't need to explain anything to the man but he just didn't want any misunderstandings.

"And you pushed her away?" He said sarcastically.

"It's is none of your business." Sasuke spat out.

"Sasuke." Kairi blurted out as she gripped her wrist. Sasuke looked at her and darted her eyes back at the man at his door. He didn't' pull away from her grasp but stood there.

"You love her." He looked at the boy that was practically a son to him. He rented the two boys the house for 2 years so they could attend college without having to be in a dorm room. So he was practically there guardians.

"I don't love her." He said sternly. Kakashi didn't believe him seeing that the girl's arm was still attached to his wrist.

"Well you better take care of everyone and make sure that you clean up anything they might throw up." Pushing himself off of the doorframe he looked at him. "You better get your emotions straight Sasuke because seeing how the girl is attached to Naruto you'll lose her like that. It doesn't matter who gets the girl because whether you don't have her you better not hurt Naruto because fighting for the girl will lead to more problems." Kakashi left the apartment and as Sasuke heard the door click he winced. He was after something else other than love. He was jealous but he didn't love the girl but seeing her all over Naruto was tearing him up inside that he wanted to tear Naruto apart as well.

"Sasuke. I love you." Kairi let go of his wrist and fell into unconsciousness. He turned toward her and rested his hand beside her head as he bent over. With her eyes closed and his face millimeters away from hers he pressed his lips against hers.

"Your drunk. You don't mean anything to me. You're just someone who needs help and your words are lies to me. There's no meaning of anything you say." Sasuke licked his lips and smirked. He straightened up and walked toward the door and sighed as he exited and went to the living room.
