I: Ah! Gomen, gomen!!! I've got a really, really, really good excuse this time!

Katie: Anime caused total chaos at her school, thus forcing her father to ban her from any/all Anime/Manga until she went back to school… This made it pass over the weekend that she was planning on updating on…

Ketia: Fun, no?

Anime: Oh, no disclaimer this time since this Author's note is gonna be on top of both of "Sasuke Went Down to Georgia" and "Underworld"… Call it me being too lazy…

Katie: Or just saving time…

Ketia: Whatever the case…

-------------------------- Whee! Begin! ---------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto was silently fuming on the bed, the fur on his tail and ears puffed out in agitation. "Stupid, perverted Teme… Like 'ell I'm gonna get married to him…" As the fox half-demon's rants continued, he barely notices the door open to reveal the wolf demon we come to know as Lana. That, however, did not seem to last…

"Oi! Naru-Sama!" That did it. The silence that was laced with hateful words from Naruto broke. With a girlish (Naruto: It was not! I: Sure... It wasn't…) shriek, the little fox demon found himself on the floor for a second time. This time, however, he was actually able to glare at the culprit as he muttered, "What is it this time?"

Lana looked like a little girl ready to cry (What with her hands to her mouth, teary puppy eyes… Just think of one of those little tots being bullied in preschool by big bad and heartless elementary school kids…) as she sniffled out, "I lost Lu! Please help me find her Naru-Sama!!!" "Why don't you ask the Teme?!" Naruto huffed out, only to notice those impossibly wide eyes growing wider, and shimmering… Oh crap…

"I-I'll help! Seriously! Just please, don't cry!!!" Naruto blurted out in a moment's notice, raising his hands in defense against what he thought would turn out to be a flood of tears ready to drown him in close to zero seconds. That didn't happen, however, as Lana nodded in a sniffling manner. This caused Naruto to take in a deep breath of relief. "Okay… So… What happened after Lu...na…" Naruto temporarily lost himself in trying to remember the other's name (Go figures… They just met for a chapter, after all…) before continuing, "Dragged you out of here?"

"W-well…" Lana seemed to be concentrating as her mind went to la-la land. She then had a look of knowing as she called out, "ITACHI-SAMA!!!" "Huh?" Needless to say, Naruto became lost. That is, until Lana, thankfully and gracefully enough proceeded to explain further. "Well… You know how Sasuke has a brother, right? An older brother? Lu is absolutely in love with him! And while I was stalk-er… Coincidentally following Gaa-kun, I picked up his scent…"

Naruto could only look at the wolf demon in front of him in a look clearly saying "Do I even wanna know?" before sighing. "You… Were stalking… A blood-thirsty… Correction: Blood-Lustful… RACCOON DEMON?!" "For you information… Gaa-kun is not a raccoon, but a red panda… They're part of the Bear Family…" Lana said huffily. "Whatever! Who cares!" Naruto shouted before groaning softly, "Just my luck… Anyways… About your sister…?"

"Oh! Right!" That certainly got Lana on track. "So… We just need to find Itachi-sama first… Then finding Lu would be a snap!" "Oh good… Meaning I don't have to come with you, right?" Naruto stated in a sort of careless tone. "Nope… Come along, Naru-sama…" And with that, servants have whispered among the grapevine that a protesting fennec fox was being dragged about by the collar of his shirt thanks to a certain brown eyed girl.

---- Scene Change ----

"Lana!!! Will you please let me go damn it!" Naruto thrashed about as he was quite literally being dragged like a stuffed toy. Lana's cheerful hums and amused "We're coming for you Lu!" only seemed to annoy the heck out of the blond boy more. Just as Naruto was just about to snap and bite the wolf demon's head off, said wolf demon gave out a cry of, "Itachi-sama!!!" before running at full speed towards the mysterious, long-haired devil. Somewhere along the way, however, her grip on Naruto seemed to loosen, causing Naruto to slip out of Lana's grasp and into a small bundle of pain.

"… Lana… You do realize you've just harmed my foolish little brother's future wife…. Right…?" Itachi calmly enough stated as his red eyes looked at the demon on the ground. Lana's gaze followed as she gave off a cute "Oopsies" look. Naruto managed a weak, "Ouch…" before fainting. Lo and behold, though, that this simple mishap did have some good in it! In fact, it caused the ever-watching Luna to actually give off a small laugh. Just long enough that Lana was able to find her with a great "LU!!!" and surprisingly enough not cutting off her twin's breathing with a crushing hug.

Itachi merely stood there, still as a stone statue, before taking a single pity glance at Naruto and leaving. "I'll be hoping for your survival, little Kitsune…" He stated softly under his breath.

Katie: That was short…

I: I know…

Ketia: … And pathetic…

I: (sighes) I try not too…
