Mwhahahahaha! I'm still loved! Sure only 2 people reviewd but I got more than 50 hits! So even if they don't review it still means people have read it. That's nice...but still not as nice as people actually reviewing. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND PEOPLE! You can even send a review just to say hi, I don't care. Oh, and before you start dissing me on all of the shots that are going to be directed at Itachi, I'd just like to say that I would never in a million billion yearssay such horrible things about my husband...other than in this story... ;)


As soon as they were gone the assistant did the hand signs to release a jutsu and seconds later another mysterious person from the back room walked out.

"Can you tell which one it was?" Kio asked the new person.

"Of course. It's the blonde one" the stranger said casually.

"How can you be so sure sir?" the innkeeper asked.

"It's too easy. They already bicker so much. They must be meant for each other. Did you see how he acted when we first met? He was all cold and distant just like that idiot brother of his. I bet you he'd keel over if he saw how easy it was for the girl to reduce him to racing to their room like children. If it weren't for the fact that I can see how good they go together I'd probably match them just out of spite for that prissy little Itachi. I am so glad you agreed to our last minute plans" he said smirking.

"Well it wasn't like I had a choice since you suddenly popped in to my head and spoke for me. Next time give a little warning at least" Kio muttered.

"Quit complaining. You should be use to it by now. Empty the room on the opposite side and we'll begin our work"

"Master, what is your opinion on the scenario of their relationship?" the innkeeper asked.

"It's a secret love! Pinky wants the brunette and brunette wants blondie. So blondie doesn't want to hurt her sister so she pretends to hide it and covers the obvious chemistry up by insulting and ignoring him"

"Amazing! How did you know this, master?"

"Quite simply Ibu, they were ready to blush when mistook them for engaged couple. And number two, they had pet names for each other!"

"Since when did bastard and dead last count as pet names?" Kio asked skeptically.

"Have I taught you nothing these last 17 years? It's all about the undertone. Any name can be considered a pet name, given the right amount of emotion behind it"

"Are you sure about this one? Maybe it's suppose to be brunette and pinky"

"No, no, no, no, no! Did you see the way he grimaced when you were thinking he and pinky were engaged? I swear it looked like he had eaten a batch of bad eel. Besides, I saw no chemistry between them whatsoever. I wouldn't be surprised if she only liked him, because the entire female population of Konoha did. That's what happened when I was with that psycho brother of his...then again, that's probably why he likes her best! It's because she probably the only one that doesn't care about his money, and looks. I have to give her props now, for a girl like her to be immune to an Uchiha is very rare. I haven't had so much fun since I tried to fix Jiraiya and Tsunade together! Oh shit!" he said happily but before Kio knew it, the man was doing the dreaded hand signs again.

(1)"Shintenshi no Justu!" he whispered. The his body fell limp to the floor. Just as his body fell to the ground, a very annoyed Sasuke came down again.

"Is there a problem?" he asked politely. Sasuke ignored him and stared at the unconscious body being dragged by the inn keeper in to the next room.

"What happened to him?"

"He...had a little too much to drink. Is there something wrong?" he asked trying to change the subject.

"We've only got one bed in our room"

"And?"

"We've got two people sharing a room and only one bed"

"Well of course! You are engaged! Why sleep in two beds when you should be sleeping comfortable in one bed by now? I know you youngsters these days" he said grinning. Sasuke glared at him.

"Is it possible to get another bed?"

"Of course! But I will have to pull a few strings...and it will be behind my boss' back...which could also get me fired" he trailed off.

How long will it take?" he snapped.

"A day at the most" he said smirking.

"Fine then. We'll need a cot and an extra set of blankets for someone"

"Yes sir! I'll bring them right up!"

"Hn" he grunted before leaving. As soon as he was gone, Akio released the jutsu and returned to his body.

"Next time. Give a warning before you pull another one of those stunts"

"Did you see him? He popped out of nowhere just like that psycho use to do! He can't see me yet. I haven't made my grand appearance. Your head was the only place to hide. He's a sneaky one...just like that damned Itachi was. I'm not so sure Nariko deserves to be stuck with in that cold hearted Uchiha for life"

"Then why don't you court her?"

"As a matter of fact, I will. She's cute anyway. Besides, if Sasuke won't treat her right than I'll have to show him how easy it is to lose someone as great as her. You know what they say, you never realize how important something is until right before it's taken away from you"

'Just admit you're trying to see if you can make an Uchiha jealous of you for once' Kio thought wryly.

"I'll be back. I have business to deal with. Don't wait up!" he said before leaving.


"Where is that idiot? He should've been here by now"

"Chill out. If you don't want to wait for him anymore that go sleep with Kakashi or Sakura. They've both got an extra bed in their room"

"No chance. I'm afraid I might be molested in my sleep by one of them"

'What makes you think we won't?'

'Kyuubi go away!'

'Why? This is the perfect chance to play with him! You know you're excited for stay with him for the next few days'

'No I'm not! I have to stay with the Ice Princess! That's worse torture than even Ibiki could dish out'

'You can't lie to me kit. I'm already in your head' she said bluntly.

'I am not lying!'

'Get to sleep kit. It's useless arguing with someone in denial as much as you'

'Stupid fox' he thought growling.

"Are you alright dobe?" a voice asked snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Huh? What?"

"I asked if you were alright. You were spacing out and it was really creepy"

"I'm fine teme"

"Good. Then you can sleep with Kakashi"

"What!? I'm not sleeping with him! This is my room. You go sleep with him!"

"Yes you are. That guy hasn't come yet I'm tired and I'm not waiting any longer. You go sleep with Kakashi so I can get some sleep"

"I am not staying with that pervert! He'll be up all night giggling as he reads his porn books!"

"Then where are you going to sleep? It's not like Sakura will let you in her room"

"I'm not going anywhere. This is my room! Be a good fiancé and go and sleep with someone else. I'm not moving." he said plopping down on the bed. Sasuke's eye twitched at the remark.

"Fine then. As soon as you go to sleep I'll put you in Kakashi's room" he said sitting on the bed as well.

"Did you forget teme? You already said you were sleepy. I can stay up all night" Naruto pointed out smirking.

"We'll see, dobe" he shot back. Naruto glared at the use of that name and Sasuke returned it ten-fold. So they both just sat there...

glaring at each other...

for the rest of the night...

until someone fell asleep...


"Darn it! I'm running late! That stupid drunk held me up too long! Now I've probably missed everything! Master will be very angry now" a mysterious figure cursed as he ran along the rooftops. He was in a long cloak that covered his entire body helping him to blend in to the darkness. Finally he was at his destination and stopped to peer inside the window of the hotel inn. He gazed in shock to see two people asleep on the bed, a blonde one sprawled on the bed a bit too close to not suspect a secret relationship. He ducked suddenly as he heard the blonde shift in the bed. He sighed noticing that he was still asleep.

'That girl must've been wearing a padded bra today. I could swear her chest wasn't that flat. She looks like a man without anything on! It makes me wonder why Akio was so adamant that I spy on them tonight'

"Mmm...Naru...to" the darker haired boy muttered in his sleep.

'Naruto? I thought her name was Nariko?' he thought confused. Suddenly he heard the blonde girl wake up and stopped to guard himself from a possible ambush.

"Stupid teme...stop hoggin' all the blankets..." 'she' muttered sleepily. Then 'she' snatched away some of the blankets from the boy. He let out the breath he had held in.

'That was close...I better leave and report this to Akio, before she really wakes up this time' he thought jumping off of the window sill. As soon as he was gone, Kakashi stepped out of the shadows on the other side of the building.

'I guess Tsunade wasn't kidding about this kid. He is a smart one. He sent another guy to do his dirty work so he see if they were guarded and so he could remain secret. It's a good thing Naruto woke up when he did. If that guy got the opportunity to get in to their rom I would have had to blow my cover to save them. I wonder why else the Hokage wanted us on such high-alert?' Kakashi thought smirking.


Yay! I did another one! Aren't you proud of me? Now everyone push the purple button and go compliment me on another job well done. Many thanks!
