Just a collection of the Naruto drabbles that have been sitting on my hard drive for a while. Updates will be sporadic at best.

Author's Notes: Written for naruto_ldws, week one on livejournal. Challenge was "Open the Door!"

Kushina scowled at the two ANBU who barred her way. "Do you mind? I'm here to see Mi- Hokage-sama."

"Hokage-sama has given strict orders that he is not to be disturbed."

The redhead's frown deepened as she crossed her arms over her chest. "I think he'll make an exception."

"Sorry, no exceptions."

Kushina forced an impatient huff through her teeth as she wondered if idiocy was a required character trait for black ops. "You sure about that?"

"Extremely."

Well, they'd asked for it.

Kushina drew in a deep breath, then bellowed, "HEY, MINATO! Come out here and tell these bastards to let me in!"

The door behind the two shocked ANBU didn't open.

The kunoichi made an impatient noise. "Don't act like you can't hear me! I KNOW you're in there sulking and I'm not leaving until you're over whatever the hell is the matter with you, so unless you want to see what a battle axe can do to two inches of pine, I suggest you open this damn door before I-"

The Yondaime Hokage snatched the door open, looking thoroughly put out. "Kushina! How many times have I told you, you can't just-"

Kushina rolled her eyes as she stepped forward and shoved his chest, pushing him back into his office. "Undermining the Hokage's authority is unprofessional, I shouldn't shout indoors, blah blah blah. You'll forgive me in time, I promise." She shot a cheery smile and a "thanks, boys!" over her shoulder to the two guards before slamming the door behind her.

After taking a few minutes to recover, one of the ANBU shook his head as he turned his back to the door. "Jiraiya-sama was right; Hokage-sama is in love with a madwoman."
