Whooooooooo... it's been a while! XD Well, my only excuses are school, laziness, and my new laptop, which isn't so new at this point since I got it at Christmas, which I've been putzing around with. Sadly, I don't have Microsoft Word on it, but hopefully OpenOffice will work too.

My writing style has probably changed, but I wouldn't know since I haven't written ANYTHING since the last time I updated. Well, I don't really have any inspiration here, but I don't want my beta to hunt me down and kill me. -; So I'm updating! W00T! XD

Also, if you want the lemon, which I'm not willing to post here because I don't really want to be banned from this site, I'm going to post it on my site! If you want the URL e-mail me with the subject "GIMME YOUR SITE!". I'm pretty sure I'll know what you mean. -;

DISCLAIMER: If I owned Naruto, anyone under the age of 16 wouldn't be allowed to watch it. Oh wait... I wouldn't be allowed to watch it! XD Oh well.

Warnings: Prolly blood, swearing(OF COURSE! XD), and just plain yaoi/shounen-ai/whatever.

This chapter will be a filler thing for what I want to put for the next chapter. This one is just going to be telling everyone where the characters are. If I forget anyone, meh. Tell me what you think!

EDIT: August 12, 2006 – As of now, this chapter is unbetaed, so anything that's wrong with it is solely my fault. The reason it's unbetaed? My first beta, Sakura Kuroyo, disappeared somewhere. My second beta, my illegally legal sister, Andra, moved recently, and never really got back to me about it. So... READ DAMN YOU!

Naruto woke up and stared up at Sasuke, who was still asleep. Naruto admired his long hair and the fact he could still sleep without looking like he was ready to jump up and kill people. He sat up and continued watching Sasuke sleep, just taking the time to look, knowing he might not get another chance like this again. He ignored the sounds of Kiharu throwing kunai at NaruNaru in the room above them. When he saw Sasuke's eyes opening, Naruto smiled.

"Morning..." Sasuke smiled softly up at Naruto.

"I've missed this." Sasuke sat up and pulled Naruto over to him, inhaling the familiar scent.

"Me too... should we go get breakfast now?" Sasuke nodded and picked Naruto up, bringing him down the stairs and into the kitchen, where he made omelette's and toast for everyone. Kiharu and Andra quietly walked into the room, knowing that someone had bothered to make food. Nanashi wandered into the kitchen from the living room, a book in her hands.

"Oi, where's Gaara?" NaruNaru asked around his mouthful of food. Naruto sighed as Kiharu threw a fork at the eldest triplet.

"He said that he didn't want to be polluted by your stupidity, so he ate earlier. He's out training now." Kiharu answered.

"Oh..."

As Naruto began to eat, an explosion was heard from outside.

"Aww... I didn't even get to finish Sasuke's breakfast!" Naruto pouted, already heading outside. Reaching the open door, Naruto's jaw dropped at the devastation he saw. Looking around, he saw acres of trees and land destroyed, and parts of the house destroyed. Hearing Josef yell something, Naruto turned around to see four shinobi in pure black jumping away. Naruto growled and leapt after them, leaving the others behind.

Sasuke's morning had started out great, but it dwindled to shit when the attack occurred. As he surveyed the damage, he barely caught Naruto take chase after something and, cursing under his breath, he ordered for Andra, Kiharu and Nanashi to stay behind. Hearing loud protests, he used a jutsu to keep the three women in place and sped off after Naruto, inwardly praying that he could catch up to and calm his lover.

Kiharu glared after Sasuke and Naruto, but didn't have time to complain as she saw many dozens of shinobi appear. Staring coldly at her opponents, she fell into a trance and focused only on them. In the back of her mind, she registered NaruNaru using a jutsu he'd created the other day to swallow at least five shinobi in an earth ball the compiled unto itself, crushing its contents and Nanashi swiftly cutting down her opponents. Kiharu pulled out her katanas and tensed, ready to test herself.

Andra's eyes widened at the sheer amount of chakra she sensed in the large group before she stiffened her resolve and prepared herself for any number of attacks, dodging a stray attack from an opponent NaruNaru was fighting and snapping his neck, instantly killing him. Shooting NaruNaru a quick smirk, she turned back to her own group and throwing a kunai into someone's throat before jumping backwards. She risked a glance at her house, and smiled when she saw Gaara coming out, his eyes cold.

'Sasuke, Naruto, I wish you all the luck I have...'

Gaara surveyed the grounds and quickly deduced that each person had at least 100 opponents easy. He stalked up behind Josef, who was struggling with 8 shinobi using jutsus on him, and decimated half of the attackers by suffocating them with stray grains of sand in the air shooting into their windpipes. Ignoring Josef's smile of gratitude, he jumped behind Nanashi and smirked.

"You seem to be having as much fun as Kiharu is." he stated, gesturing to Kiharu's rampage, bodies flying in the air from strategic attacks that caused an enormous amount of damage with little energy.

"As do you." Nanashi smirked back.

Kakashi's day had started out fine when he awoke at 3 am, so he decided to go train for hours on end to hone his skills. Looking at the battle before him, Kakashi decided that his early morning training had been for naught, seeing as he could've gotten the same amount of exercise in this battle alone.

'Iruka, wish me luck. This is going to take a lot out of me...'

Well, that's it for this chapter. If you want me to update, I'll need at least five reviews. I want to make sure that there are people still reading this. Also, I find it ridiculous that this fanfiction – at this time – has 1067 hits and yet only 36 reviews. See ya people later! Now to do my damned final... -grumbles-
