"Suigetsu call over Lee!" I snapped. "Lee!" Suigetsu obediently went and got him, me never moving from the arm of Sasuke's chair. "Yes Karin-chan!" Lee bowed and waited for orders. "Get chamomile tea for Sasuke." I smiled my usual fake smile and he went to go get it with a energetic as always 'Of course right away!'

"Karin why don't you ever do anything yourself." Sasuke grumbled. "Then who would be here to watch over you?" I grinned at him. "I'm a grown man." Sasuke glared. "You're barely able to drink Sasuke." I pushed jokingly. Sasuke gave me a smile. "That's why I keep you around." He smirked.


Lee

A rank 3 who goes crazy over Sakura and is friends with everyone. In particular he's friends with Naruto, Tenten and though Neji wouldn't tell you Neji too.


I'm Karin. A rank 1 maid and the closest one to Sasuke. I know everything that happens around here. I know fully well that people call me a bitch and a slut. But I don't care, they're afraid of me so they can chill out and chat about it in their little gossip circles. I don't like Suigetsu, something about him just disgusts me. But I hate Naruto, people say we acted similar. Back when I was a rank four apparently I acted the same as him. I do remember getting the strap often when Orochimaru first brought me here. I guess it worries me just a little that if we act the same Sasuke will take a interest in him, but Sasuke truly wishes all men would be wiped off the face of the earth. I'd describe this household as complex, everybody loves and hates contradictory people so no two people can ever be happy together. I mean for long anyways. I've had my fair share of hookups along with everyone else but the two people I could be happy with are Sasuke and Temari. Sasuke doesn't like anybody and hates most of the worlds population and Temari has a thing for Shikamaru, a rank 3. They visit each other secretly, Shikamaru however has a passion for some unknown somebody. Though Asuma, the director over rank 3's undoubtedly loves Kurenai who I've heard makes eyes at my Rank 1 director Kakashi. Though of course it's a simple maids rumour. Though on the other hand we know it isn't Gai, the Rank 2 director. Whatever happens I'm sure Suigetsu will make sure it never happens, the guys hobby is cutting things and mainly relationships. The sick guy is actually pretending to like Hinata just to make sure Naruto and Hinata never happen.

"Here Master Sasuke!" Lee put the tea on the glass table and poured Sasuke some in his favorite cup. "My cup." Sasuke looked fondly at the dainty green laced intricately designed cup. I'm sure if me and it were falling of a cliff... "Karin we have a new rank four for you to terrorize." Sasuke sipped at his tea. "Sai right? I'm surprised Danzo let him go so easily." I answered hoping that it would meet my master's liking. "Yes it was a struggle but Danzo agreed to let him go. No doubt there will be more mischief if I they all stay as rank fours so I'll probably promote one." I inwardly cheered at my success. Though it helped that Sasuke was in a unusually sunny mood.

"Who's it gonna be? Maybe that Naruto guy just to piss off Karin." Suigetsu gave me a half amused look. "Get lost." I glared back at him. "Probably Temari since she has the most experience and maybe being under Asuma will teach her to cool off. But Naruto isn't the best idea at the moment. Not just for the reason of him being a useless idiot and a man at that." Sasuke snickered. "I'm happy to see you feeling so well." I beamed at him.

"It'll all be over once that man wakes up." Sasuke took another sip of his tea. "I've heard that he tried to rape Naruto but you saved him." I implored. "I didn't know you were into maids gossip." Sasuke craftily evaded the implications. "Just something to do, and with you here to confirm it..." I pressed. "Idle hands are the devils playground you know Karin." The use of her name alerted her to the fact he'd caught on, maybe long before the current statement.

"I can't keep up with your mind games." I glanced at him sideways. "He's interesting." Sasuke smiled, glancing out the door where the rank four was screaming at Sai. "It's too bad he's a man." I said icily. "A shame." Sasuke shifted his attention to a newspaper being delivered to him by Shikamaru, a rank three like Lee.


Shikamaru

I'd give him the strap for taking naps but my hand simply gets tired. He's been a rank 3 since he joined since his family has a name Nara Medicine, the name doesn't go very far but far enough.


I looked nostalgicly at the mass of rank 3's and 2's lively bustling about. I was pulled back into reality once she noticed everybody had begun to bow and I lowered my head. "Sasuke, have you thought about my offer?" Orochimaru smiled his twisted smile. "No and I'm not planning too." Sasuke said sharply.

"What do I have to do today Karin." Sasuke stood up and began walking and I did my best to keep up while pulling out my agenda. "A meeting with the CEO of the company we talked to last week in thirty, a lunch with Tsunade and a low key get together at your father's is all you're obligated to do. Other things are meeting with a few other people to discuss business matters and Orochimaru has requested a private dinner with you." I listed off as we arrived in his room.

"Anything to get out this house untill that man leaves today. Get my car ready and I want Neji, Juugo, Lee and Naruto in it." Sasuke demanded as I straightened his tie. "Naruto? He's a simple rank four." I lingered on Sasuke's tie. "I'd like to be set to go in 10 minutes." Sasuke ignored me and started packing a briefcase.

I flew out his room back to the study. "Lee, Juugo, Neji. We're leaving, hurry up." I snapped at them and picked up my vibrating phone. "Uchiha Residence." I answered. "This is Pein of Akatsuki corps but I'm sure you know that. We want a meeting with Sasuke at two." I almost dropped the phone at the statement. "Yes of course but Sasuke has a busy-" They hung up. I rolled my eyes and frantically wrote it down in my agenda as I went to the rank fours room.

Akatsuki? What could they want with us? I always knew Uchiha Computers and Akatsuki Tech. worked together but their last call was months ago. Akatsuki Tech. just wants a monopoly on all technology wich means... maybe they want to buy Uchiha Computers again. I wonder if Orochimaru has something to do with this...

I threw open their door and they all dropped what they were doing and Hinata hid behind Naruto, I smugly smiled at the reaction. "Naruto, Sasuke wants you in the car, now." I reluctantly relayed the message and spun on my heel to leave. "What does that bastard want now." Naruto complained. "Naruto shh! You'll get us all the strap with that moth." Sakura whispered. "That bastard wants you for a reason I'm not obligated to tell you boy. So just get in the car before you get the strap." I stormed out.

What is the reason anyways. He's just a rank four and a man at that. "Sasuke!" I ran to his room in a huff remembering what I had to tell him. "What is it." Sasuke headed out the door. "Pein wants a meeting with you! It sounded urgent." Sasuke whirled to face me. "Pein? When?" Sasuke regained his composure as we headed out the house. "Two." I relayed as we approached the car. "Did you confirm it?" Sasuke slid in the car next to Naruto much to my chagrin.

"I didn't have much of a choice." I said sheepishly. "Karin please hand Neji the directions unless you plan to do it telepathically." Sasuke smirked and Naruto let out a small laugh. I bit back my pride and handed Neji the instructions. "So Naruto you haven't been trained in this area because in the short time you've been here we've never really gone anywhere as a group. But since our slow paced days are over with the coming of a new month it's likely you'll need to be trained." Sasuke explained to Naruto.

What does Sasuke see in that guy. Though, Sasuke may just be playing some sort of game. Then again maybe it won't hold and this is just a passing whim.

"Don't you Karin?" I stepped out of my thoughts at the abrupt question. "Of course." I smiled and Naruto grimaced. What were they talking about? "Sai will get used to the way you rank fours do things." Sasuke patted Naruto's head. "Why do you pat me like that, I'm not a little kid you know!" Naruto protested. "Because you remind me of a cute little kid." Sasuke told him affectionately. Naruto blushed and I bit my lip, I' ll have to do something about that Naruto.

"A female child of course" Sasuke smirked. "Why do you hate men so much?" Naruto asked. Sasuke won't even tell me that, there's no way he'd tell that shitty rank four classified information like that. Yes I'll definitely need to contact Orochimaru to get this kid dealt with. Sasuke hates men so what's up with this guy? Even if it's a passing whim it's already gone too far.

"Secret." The car pulled to a stop in front of Toad- "Toad Parts? Like Toad parts?" Naruto snickered. "I hate immaturity." Sasuke got out the car after me with a look in his eye that didn't seem like hatred. That look scared me, it was a look of almost, wanting- no it'd be better described as needing. The only thing that calmed me is that he wasn't looking at Naruto with that look, but his thoughts were a entirely different matter.

"The parts in Toad Parts means-" "Hey Ero-Sennin likes toads! Jiriaya is such a old pervert."

Instead of suggesting a method of discipline for interrupting our master mid-sentence we all stopped in our tracks to face him. "Jiriaya? As in 'The toad sage' Jiriaya or 'The Legendary Sannin' Jiriaya?" I gasped. How could this poor piece of shit know a Sannin personally? "Yeah I'm pretty sure he goes on about that sometimes. I never really listen though." Naruto said so nonchalantly it was as if he didn't know who we were talking about, or for that matter talking infront of. Sasuke!

I turned to face the eternally smirking raven who looked like someone just told him Itachi was actually a girl. "How could you possibly-" Sasuke stopped at the white haired billionaire coming out the large glass building. "Naruto you've come for more business training?" Jiriaya laughed. "No I'm here with Sasuke, I started working under him since the last time you saw me." Naruto made a face then turned to face us.

"What's the problem?" He asked as if he didn't understand the huge problem that was sitting right in front of him. Then again how could anybody expect him to keep up with politics and business. "Nothing. Karin I'd like you to keep note of anything you hear that's useful" Sasuke gave me a pointed look. Useful, he means to exploit Jiriaya. Jiriaya does enjoy messing with us and raising his prices for no reason. That Naruto kid now has a bounty on his head. If Orochimaru catches wind of this- then I don't have to worry about those two... A bounty huh? Naruto you've just stepped into a very dangerous game, and I'll have the joy of watching it be played out.


"We're back." We opened the Limo doors after the meeting where Naruto and Lee were talking enthusiastically about something most likely trivial.

"Sasuke, lend me your ear." "If you're raising your prices again..." "Naruto, he's just like I used to be. I'm giving him my business once I die or retire. Don't tell him this it's intended to be a surprise." "Jiriaya I hope I'm the only one who knows this because the bounty on that boy's head is worth billions now." "You're the only one who knows. I trust you'll keep it safe. If it turns up it would be bad for you in particular."

Jiriaya is insane. He's gone absolutely mad. If I or Sasuke told anyone, or if anybody else who overheard wanted to make a profit out of it, Naruto could be gone tomorrow. Wait, what if Sasuke knew all this prior to today. It would explain his behavior and words. Sasuke's good at mind games, who's to say he isn't playing one on the world. It's a risky game, I just hope he doesn't get hurt in it.

"We've missed lunch unless you'd still go a little late." I opened the door. "Naruto has become a dangerous asset. Don't keep record of anything that could suggest we know something." Sasuke said softly. "Does he even realize what he got himself into?" I pushed my glasses up. "Karin he's just a rank 4 maid. I noticed you, you're jealous." Sasuke teasingly put his arm around me and squeezed my breast. "I have reason." I glared. "He's just a maid. Karin."

Am I... Just a maid?

"Don't just stand there. We're going to eat Ramen, Tsunade can suck Shizune for all I care. I truly hate sannin." Sasuke had already sat down. "Try to be nice Sasuke! Anyways she practically runs this village, besides with her gambling habits it would be beneficial for you to go." I scolded him and he pouted but didn't object.

"Granny Tsunade too? She trains Sakura-chan to be a doctor, Granny Tsunade is scarier than Sakura-chan and Karin combined." Naruto gave me a despicable look. How many connections does this boy have, two out of three Sannin have a personal connection with him. Why is he a simple maid, he could do anything! Sakura has become valuable too, less valuable than Naruto of course. Soon his worth will be comparable to Sasuke's. Only comparable though, Orochimaru is still the richest and most well known sannin and he favors Sasuke who's already inheriting one of the most powerful names in the world. Uchiha. A name to be reckoned with.

"Naruto, you rank fours... Karin never seems to find gossip circulating about you guys. You're all friends?" Sasuke asked. "Yes." Naruto answered simply and I couldn't help but smirk since Temari was about to be caught up in a Uchiha residence power struggle and Naruto himself got caught up in a Konoha power struggle.

"We've arrived- Karin are you sure these are the directions?" Neji faltered. I looked out the window, "What is this woman thinking? She picked a gambling site sitting right next to a gay bar. I despise men, especially gay men. I truly wish they'd all cross dress or die." Sasuke ignored Naruto's messed up look.

"I'll put that on the agenda." I tried to lighten the mood. "Damn laws." Sasuke stepped out the car after me. "Sasuke may I remind you that you are the law." I grinned. "Can we eradicate all men?" Sasuke asked me honestly. "We'd start the fourth great war." I reminded him though I doubted he'd care.

"Might as well get it over with. Damn slut." Sasuke hesitated at the door handle. "Why don't you sleep with her?" Naruto suggested to everyone's utter shock. "That's what men do when they want something out of a slut on Sakura-chan's shows." Naruto said innocently, obviously getting used to Sasuke's company. "You're cute." Sasuke affectionately patted Naruto's head with a slight blush to he's cheek and a honest smile that I hoped was purely from amusement.

"Tsunade, unfortunately she's waiting." I briskly opened the door with a swish of my skirt. There's so much wind in here why are there so many damned fans. I tried to hold down my maid uniform. "That's a cute girl you've got with'ya" A drunken fool used his finger to trace Naruto's whiskers. "I wouldn't scar'ya like 'e do." Beer drifted out the man's crooked smile. Tsunade lifted a irritated fist but it was Sasuke's foot that connected with the man's face. "Not scars. Don't go sullying the Uchiha name you drunkard." Sasuke stepped on him coldy to get to a nearby table. The Uchiha name, is that the part he cares about or is it...

"I'm a man you bastard." Naruto lifted the man up by the shirt and punched him back down. Naruto tried to hold down his maid uniform but his boxers were easy to spot and only a drunk man could confuse them with a ladies boy shorts. Once we were all seated Tsunade began. Naruto was playing with his straw and arm wrestling Lee making it obvious that all the statistics and sales talk were boring him. "How could anyone confuse him for a woman." Neji said irritatedly.

"Petite figure and a dress but that only goes so far." I glanced at the guys who were now playing a heated game of rock paper scissors over Sakura's boob size. Triple A, I'll answer that one for you. I'm surprised people don't mistake her for a man. "Lee isn't helping. How can that man stay energetic so long?" Neji cracked a small smile, a nice change from his usually serious attitude. "He's made of Red Bull." I returned the smile.

Ramen. The disturbing reality finally clicked. Sasuke doesn't eat Ramen.
