Author's Notes: Hmmm. Cupcakes. That would be nice. I'm probably gonna do ShikaIno unless someone else says so.

Oh and Inori means "prayer" in Japanese.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, if I did there would be lots of cupcakes in the series! I do own this story and the oc in it.

After visiting the Hokage, Inori decided to see what had changed in his home village, and what hasn't. He stopped by that grave-marker-thing (the one Kakashi visits for Obito). With his fingers he traced the names of those who passed away. "Heh heh! Now that is so funny! You're dead, I hated you anyways! Lucky that death found you before I dead. Oh he's dead, and her too, too bad she was hot! OW!" he rubbed his head right after he had been struck. He turned around to see another shinobi behind him. "Do you have a problem?"

The shinobi had a mask and one of his eyes were covered by his forehead protector(Guess who?). "You have some nerve disgracing those who have proudly fought and died for this village."

Inori snorted. "Why should I care? They're dead. I'm not. They lose. I win." he said as he walked past the masked person.

The masked ninja also known as Hatake Kakashi scratched his head. "I've seen that brat before somewhere. Oh well..." he turned to the grave-marker.

Inori on the other hand decided to see if Naruto was at the Ichiraku Noodle Stand again. He entered and saw that Naruto was in his usual spot but this time with a young girl.

"Yo! Naruto!" he called out.

"HEY IT'S THE OLD GUY!"

"I'm nineteen! Get it memorized (where do you think I got that from?)! Hey who's this?"

"Oh this is Sakura-chan! She's my teammate. Sakura-chan this ...um...uh...-

"My name is Inori, you little punk! You have a short memory and a short mental capacity!"

Sakura laughed a little. "Yeah, that is so like Naruto. Are you a visiting shonobi here?"

Naruto looked up as well. "Yeah, what are you doing here anyways? You said earlier that you ran away from home."

Inori frowned darkly. He did run away from home for a reason, but he couldn't break it down to two shinobi from a home he hated that he barely knows. "Yeah, but that was no big deal. I'm just here as a favor for someone. I might as well try to talk to my family and meet my little sister."

"Little sister?" asked Sakura curiously.

"Well, uh yeah! I found out from a speacial source that I had a little sister just a few days ago. I just wanted to see if it was true, that's all. Hey wait! You guys could help me out! Being gone so long, I forgot where my family's place was. Can you give me some directions?"

"Sure!" Naruto volunteered cheerfully. "What's your family's last name? I know almost everyone in the village!"

Inori smiled. "Really? Naruto, you should be proud of that. My family's last name is Yamanaka! Do you guys mind buying me a drink?" he sat between them.

However Naruto and Sakura didn't hear his request. "Ano, Inori-san, could you excuse Naruto and I for a minute?" Inori nodded yes.

Sakura dragged Naruto out of the restaurant and behind the building. "Did you hear that? He just said his last name is Yamanaka"

"Yeah, but wouldn't that mean that his little sister would be...?"

"It sounds a lot like it. I mean, it acually sounds like Ino has a brother!"

"But what I don't get is, why didn't Ino ever mention him to you or me? I mean, she might have never met him, by why didn't her father, Inoichi, tell her she has one?" Naruto puzzled.

"I don't know, but let's just go along for now and see what happens, ok?" Naruto nodded in agreement.

They went back into the Noodle Shop watching Inori chugging down a bottle. "Ok, let's go! Lead the way, Naruto-san!"
