Me: Yay! Thank you dark inhabitant, for the love of Naruto I WILL Continue!
Lee: You love Naruto?
Me: No, I love the show…
Everyone: Show?
Me: Argh! We went over this already!
Yura: She's right…
Nekoharu: Yeah, some of you guys are idiots.
Sasuke: like Naruto?
Naruto: Hey!
Sasuke: Dobe.
Naruto: Hey!
Me: STOP! YOU ARE BOTH ACTING LIKE IDIOTS!
Hinata: Um… that wasn't very nice Iro-Ao…
ME: Sorry Hinata, but it needed to be said.
Tenten: Believe me it did need to be said… but I guess, some things never change. (sighs and looks at Naruto) You both suck.
Me: Tenten? Hey…that was mean… where did you come from anyway?
Tenten: My house… all my team was missing and I wasn't going to train alone with Gai… (shudders) So… well I ran off…
Kakashi: Yo!
Me: (falls down anime style) Where did you come from?
Kakashi: My house… did I scare you?
Me: No! Well maybe a little…Mah! Two people in one intro… any ways… Orochimaru sends Neomei orders through the connection he established, his orders will be like this/order/ she'll reply like this: agree simple.
Everyone: OK… write the story already.
Me: Ok ok ok ok, on with the story!
MEETINGS
Neomei walked around the town, there wasn't anything to do. Orochimaru wasn't sending orders so she was free to do what she pleased. She had gotten a hotel room earlier in the day and now was heading to the closest ramen stand for a quick meal.
'Ichikaru… looks good…'
"NARUTO-NIICHAN!" called out three little kids as they ran past Neomei. Looking up, Neomei saw that the ramen stand was not vacant like she first thought. Inside sat a young man dressed all in orange and black, next to him sat an older man with white hair. Both were ninjas.
'Jiraiya!'
'Who?'
'Jiraiya, he is another old friend… he came to my village once… he said something about research… never knew what he was researching though… he did like going to the small bath house… Oh! Ah! That means…' Yura talked her way to silence, a rather large blush covering her face.
'Ah, the white haired pervert. Wasn't he one of the sannin, like Orochimaru?'
'Yes… and don't say that snakes name.'
'Sorry' (Poor girl… she's been through so much…stop… no more thinking… dam…)
"Naruto-niichan, when did you get back from rescuing Gaara?"
"Just yesterday. I was too tired for ramen…"
"Too tired for ramen?" Konohamaru interrupted. "Impossible!"
"Possible." Stated Jiraiya. He looked up from his bowl to watch a young girl in a blue dress come and sit at the counter. She was very pretty, not the prettiest he'd seen but pretty either way.
"One bowl of miso ramen, please."
"Naruto-niichan? What are you looking at?" It's true, Jiraiya had been staring at the girl, and Naruto had followed his gaze. He was surprised that a girl, who should be worried about dieting and looking good, had just ordered a large bowl of miso ramen… his favourite.
The girl turned her head to face them, a small tint of pink spread across her face.
"Good afternoon… may I help you?" She asked.
"No…" Came the slow reply from both the men.
"Alright then, enjoy your meal, ne?"
"Yeah…"
"C'mon, they're not going to be able to take their eyes off her now… lets leave."
"Right, Konohamaru-kun!" The other children chorused.
/Neomei, meet as many local ninja's as you can, act quiet and reserved. Gather any information you can and relay it to me tonight./
right
"May I please have my bill?"
"I'll pay it!"
"Ero-sennin? You never buy my ramen!"
"You eat too much of it, I'd be poor Naruto."
"Um… thank you… I think…"
"Any time." And with that Jiraiya paid her bill and waved her over to the vacant seat beside him. "And what might your name be?"
"Ronaii Neomei, and what is yours?" She queried indicating both of them.
"Naruto."
"Jiraiya."
"Are you ninja?"
"Why do you ask?"
"You look…" she drifted off to let her eyes wander over their muscled bodies. "… Strong."
Naruto looked away from her and down at his own bowl of ramen. 'No… you like someone else… someone else… someone else… two someone else's… two… someone's…" went his silent mantra.
"So what's up in the ninja business, everyone seems to be uptight and nervous. I thought it has been over a year since the sound and sand attacked…"
"It has, but there is news of sound troops near the border, and although we search we never find." Was Jiraiya's answer.
"Oh… well, I'm a ninja… feel free to call on me any time for training or light missions, anything I can do to help. Well, I'm off, lots of shopping to do!" She turned around and began to walk away before stopping and turning around. "Thanks again for paying!" She said with a large becoming smile on her face.
"Nice girl… you should get to know her."
"Hn…" A very un-Naruto like answer if there was one. He just sat there for once not eating his ramen. His thoughts were elsewhere… he couldn't put a finger on it but there was something about Neomei he didn't like… something that reminded him of a snake.
"… Who is that?" Tenten questioned as she walked down the road with Neji, Lee, and Sakura. Sakura had long given up on Sasuke after he ran off. Now she hung out with Lee, and consequently with Neji and herself. She didn't mind really, Sakura was a friend, and a girl one at that. Sometimes it was nice to have a girl around… and now was one of those times.
"Don't know… don't care." Was Neji's answer. His face didn't show any interest and for once, so did Lee's.
"Let's go meet her Tenten; she has good fashion sense, ne?"
"Yeah…" so they both headed over, abandoning their boyfriends. (1)
"Hello!" Sakura said as the neared her. She seemed to be browsing through a small store… one of Tenten's favourites to be exact. She was carefully picking out weapons lethal enough to kill anything in its way. She didn't buy a thing though.
"Hey." She replied looking up from a very sharp kunai.
"My name is Sakura, and this is Tenten." She said, motioning to the older girl. "You are?" She continued.
"Neomei, I'm new here… but I guess I know a good place to shop." She smiled.
"Yeah, that's all there seems to be anymore, shopping for new kunai or searching for the sound ninja's that don't seem to exist." Tenten put in sarcastically.
"Ah, that's what Jiraiya told me." Neomei replied as she turned back to the display shelf, sighing in exasperation. 'Hope they're ninja's!'
"You met that pervert? Better stay away from him… with your looks I'm sure he plans to do more 'research' or so he calls it…" Sakura said shaking her pink head.
"He bought my ramen, much to his companion's dismay… I can't remember his name… Na-Na-Na something…"
"Naruto?"
"Yes, that's it, kind of odd." She turned away from the shelf, continuing. "Do you know him?"
"Know him… he was in my gennin group, and still is one of my friends." Sakura replied, before Tenten began to nod.
"Well, I take it you two are ninjas… and so are they…" With a nod Neomei acknowledged Neji and Lee.
"Yeah… I'm a Jounin, along with Neji… the one with the long black hair, Lee and Sakura are chuunin… you?"
"Don't really know. Trained hard but never was tested. Probably not as good as you guys… my village was too small."
"Well, get a hold of us and we'll hang out. Later tonight, all of us are having a picnic anyway. Just meet us at the academy… you know where it is right?" Sakura said.
"Yeah… not that hard to miss, it is really big." She smiled and waved goodbye. As she passed Neji and Lee she smiled. "See you guys later!"
Me: Author Notes:
BOYFRIENDS: Yes… two pairings, Lee & Sakura, Tenten & Neji. Get used to it.
Well, I might want to warn you but there are to be a lot more couples… lots more… and sorry Midnight Star24, but there wasn't much of what you demand. More to come in other chapters. Any ways… I'll have loads of couples… and an undecided Naruto… (I'm evil)
Ino: Really! Like me and –
Shikamaru: Am I going to have to cover your mouth again?
Ino: no…
Shikamaru: Good.
Yura: (laughs)
Everyone: O.o
Yura: Oh… nothing, Haru just told me something really funny.
Me: Anyways, read and review!
