"Sasuke, are you serious? She's the girl?" the purple haired man asked. Sasuke raised his eyebrow and faced him.

"How many times do I have to repeat myself to your dumb ass?" he asked, making Kabuto pout and cross his arms. "Ever since we were little, I could sense something when those two were standing near each other. You know, like they were soon going to be one."

"One... like a couple one or... conjoined heads one?" Sasuke stared at Kabuto, trying to see if he was actually serious. "Come on, which one is it?"

"You know what, your head is going to be conjoined with that wall if you don't shut your mouth and just listen to what I have to say." Sasuke said, angry that he had to be paired up with this numb job. Kabuto put his right index finger and thumb together, bringing to the left side of his mouth and sliding toward the right, acting as if it was a zipper shutting a jacket. Sasuke saw this and sighed, rolling his eyes. There was a long silence, and it was getting to the purple haired ninja. Kabuto briefly unzipped his lips without Sasuke seeing and proceeded to talk.

"Wait, didn't you say you and the girl did something together a while back?" Kabuto asked. Sasuke fisted his hands together trying to hold back a punch he wanted to casually meet Kabuto's face. How many times did he have to repeat this to him?

"Yes, we did do something together. Something even she would never forget. Now can you please put that through your head?" he asked, not once turning back to him.

"You know, we got word from the Gate Ninja's that we're supposed to keep a close eye on her." He said, now getting Sasuke's attention, but not enough to make him turn from the window.

"What did she do?" Sasuke asked, a bit amused that a shy girl like her could get in trouble, let alone with a whole village.

"It's not what she did, it's what they heard she's gonna do. Something about her being some international fugitive whose on the loose holding the next Hokage as her hostage." Sasuke's eyes widened as he imaged her as a fugitive. His mind couldn't process it though, because it was completely impossible, but he didn't say anything. Her problems with the village didn't concern him.

"Well, isn't that interesting. You guys go handle that." Sasuke said, yawning with boredom. Kabuto raised his eyebrow, using the silence for his thinking, which he usually hardly did because of all his smartness that he had, but only used on occasions.

"So...you going after them?" he asked, Sasuke turning around to face him with a grin on his lips. Not the kind of grin you'd want to see everyday though.

"Nope, i'll let them find me, I mean, it's their mission right?" and with that, Sasuke left the room with a very confused Kabuto inside.

Hinata bit her bottom lip as she walked up to the building her and Naruto were assigned to.

Naruto.

He probably left back to Konoha right now, and it was all her fault. Why was she such a loud mouth? Did she have to tell him? But what if she didn't and he found out on his own? Would that have been worse or better? All these thoughts were running through her head as she rang the bell to the huge building. Turns out the man who told Tsunade of Sasuke's whereabouts only did it so he could get protection from some gang that he got in trouble with, so me and Naruto had to watch over him for the night and scare them off.

"Hello, who may you be?" a young lady in a maid uniform asked.

"Um, i'm Hinata Hyuga, one of the Ninja's who were assigned here from Konoha. The other Ninja has-"

"Oh, you've finally arrived! Please come in!" the maid said, opening the door further for the violet haired heiress. She led her down the long hallway and stopped dead center in the middle of it. "The master has been waiting anxiously for your arrival, please, do sit." the lady pointed to the couch in the living room, or Hinata assumed she did, since she wasn't paying attention, she was only focused on telling the maid that Naruto wont be joining. "My name is Suzuki, i'm the maid here."

"Yeah, I kinda firgured, er... I need to tell you something about the other Ninja who was supposed to join me today. You see-"

"Yes, what about him?" she asked, cutting Hinata off.

"Well... wait, how did you know it was a him?" Hinata asked, a bit afraid at how the lady seemed to know who Naruto was even though all she was supposed to know is that two Ninja's were coming over.

"Hm, does he have blonde hair, a kinda whiskered face and wonderful blue eyes?" the maid asked, causing Hinata to step back a bit.

"Er...yeah. How do you know?"

"Huh... and does he happen to go by Naruto and happen to, I don't know, be sitting in the master's living room this very second?" the maid asked again, but this time Hinata didn't answer. She slowly stepped into the living room and sat down, staring at her blonde haired comrade that she's been looking for all over the village for about an hour. He looked up at her, meeting her gaze for about a half a second before turning away. Hinata looked down at her lap, trying to fight back her tears. "Well, you two get comfy now ya hear?" the maid almost sung before skipping away to wherever it was she was going. Hinata snuck a quick peek at Naruto who was paying attention to the turned off T.V. She sighed, guess she has to make the first move. She looked back down at lap and sighed.

"U-Um, N-Naruto-Kun, i-"

"Don't." she heard him say. She looked up at him and noticed he was paying attention to his hands now. He slowly looked up to meet her gaze again.

"Huh?" she asked, confused.

"I said don't. It wasn't your fault. I shouldn't have taken it all out on you the way I did."

"But you deserved to know, and I should've respected that and told you before we came on this stupid mission." she heard herself blurt out. He slowly shook his head and grinned.

"Granny told you to keep it a secret from me, eh?" he asked with weak eyes, she could only nod. "Heh, that's so typical of her, caring about my feelings more then the mission i'm going on." He leaned back on the couch he was sitting on and it got silent for a while.

"Then you must be happy, you know, having her treat you like family because, you know, your..." He looked up at her and she covered her hands on her mouth. "Oh my god, i'm so sorry." he shook his head.

"No, it's alright, I don't mind. Plus, your right, I kinda like having her treat me like family, why else would I keep calling her Baa-Chan?" he said with a chuckle, earning a little giggle from the heiress as well.

"So... your not mad at me anymore?" she asked, hearing Naruto sigh.

"Really, I was never mad at you. I was mad at myself for taking it to another level. So yeah..." Hinata sighed at his assurance, but frowned when a thought came to her mind.

"Wait, so since you didn't go off running to Konoha because you were mad at me, where did you go?" She asked, remembering her constant running around looking for the boy.

"I was looking for you the whole time." he confirmed, raising his eyebrow. Hinata's eyes widened.

"You were looking for me? I was looking for you!" she said, feeling stupid for not taking the break she been wanting to. Maybe he could've found her if she would stop all that running.

"Wow, seriously? I been-"

"Here they are, master!" they heard the familiar cheerful voice say. They turned to the maid and the tall man behind her, wearing nothing but a velvet looking robe and a pipe in his mouth. Naruto raised his eyebrow. I know your rich, but did you have to flaunt it? He couldn't help but think as he watched the man place himself on the couch between the ones Naruto and Hinata were seated on. When no one was talking for a while, Naruto decided to make the first move and extend his hand to the man for a handshake.

"Hi, I'm-"

"No, no, no." The man said, cutting him off with a big smoke from his pipe. "No time for worthless introductions my friend," he then turned to Hinata and grinned, flashing his one gold tooth. "But I would definitely like one from the lady," Hinata giggled and extended her hand to the old looking man, earning a frown from Naruto.

"I'm Hinata." she said. Once his hand met with hers, he took it and placed his mouth on it, in a sloppy kiss from Naruto's point of view.

"Well, well Hinata, i'm Kitahiko, but you can call me The Kay-Ster." he said, the smile fading away when he turned to Naruto. "But your friend has to call me Kitahiko." Naruto raised his eyebrow.

"I have a name too, you know." he said, causing the man to turn back to him once more.

"Look at me kid, look real close, read my face... does it look like I care? Does it? Well, if you look a little close you'll see that it most definitely DOESN'T.." the man he now knew as Kitahiko said, as he turned back to Hinata grinning. When it turned out that the only voices that were heard were the man's and Hinata, Naruto decided to clear his throat.

"My name is Naruto." he said, causing Kitahiko to turn to him very slowly, with the most scary look in his eyes. This was going to be a long night.

'Where the fuck is it?' Sakura screamed in her mind as she rampaged through her backpack. She let out a scream of frustration, causing the people on the sidewalk to give her looks as she threw her backpack on the floor, kneeling down beside while she got a better view of what was inside. 'I know I took it with me, without that frigging map i'm lost!' when she realized that it wasn't in there, she got and tossed the backpack on the floor, spilling everything that was inside it. Sakura couldn't give a crap as she turned around from it, placing her hand on her forehead. The screaming of someone behind her caused her to jump and turn back, to see someone on the floor beside her stuff. She bit her bottom lip as she walked up to the man.

"I am so sorry. I had no idea that people were walking here! Actually, I did, I mean it is a sidewalk, but I never thought someone would trip over my stuff! I thought they'd see it and walk past it and-"

"Hey, hey it's alright. No hard feelings." the man said as he got up. He looked down at the stuff he tripped over then back up at Sakura with a risen eyebrow. "Your packed pretty hardcore, aren't you?" he said, pointing to the many knives and weapons and notebooks. "Planning to kill the C.I.A or something?" he leaned in and whispered to her. "Or are you planning to kill that K.S.S that came here from Konoha?" she giggled, bending down to pick up her stuff.

"Actually, you'll never believe it but i'm the K.S.S." she said, watching him as he bent down next to her, helping her with the things.

"Huh, so your the girl who warned everyone about the fugitive?" he asked, causing Sakura to look at him and raise her eyebrow.

"Yeah.. but how did you know about that? Aren't only the ninja's supposed to know?" she asked as he looked up at her, matching her with his risen eyebrow.

"What makes you think i'm not a ninja?"

"Hmm. I don't know, my K.S.S signals tell me your not." she said, turning back to her stuff, forcefully piling the rest into her bag.

"Well, then you should get your signals fixed, because i'm 100% ninja." he said, watching her get up, quickly getting up as well. She put her bag over her shoulder, extended her hand to him, which he eventually shook.

"Sakura." she said smiling.

"Names Kabuto." he said, slipping his hands into his pocket when he got it back. "Nice to meet you."

"You too." she said as she studied the color of his hair. Purple. So she wasn't the only person who had odd colored hair? The thought made her smile. He is kinda cute.

"So where you headed Sakura?" he asked, pulling her back from her thoughts.

"Oh, er... actually I was headed to the closets place where you can find a map. You know, new place, can't really get around without them." she said. He raised his eyebrow and scratched his head.

"Shouldn't the K.S.S provided you with one?" he asked as her eyes widened.

"Er, yeah..uh you see, I kinda dropped it on the way here, he he, clumsy me. Guess i'll go get a new one." She said as she walked past him, but stopped and turned around when she realized she had no clue where she was headed. "Er... mind telling me which way to go?" He grinned in amusement at the pink haired girl.

"Follow me." he said as he turned around the opposite direction from Sakura and started walking, making her run to get by his side. Hmm. The guys slick too. She looked up at him through her lashes. He was surely earning points in her book. (Oh, that's gross. Sakura and Kabuto? SAKURA AND ANYONE IS DISTURBING ALL ON IT'S OWN! Heh, I basically forced myself to write that for my own little sick games...er...yeah...why are you reading this? GO ON TO THE STORY AND IGNORE MY PERENTHESES!)

"I finally got it!" Shikamaru exclaimed as he read the map. Ino dropped the fish she been cooking and came running to his side. "The dots must mean those are the places she's planning to stay at, and judging by how many there are, she's planning to stay there for a long time."

"Well, Hinata did mention that Tsunade said they were going to be there for a long time." Ino confirmed shrugging. Shikamaru payed no attention though as he continued.

"And check this out, the places she circled are the places she must've found out that Naruto and Hinata were supposed to go to."

"But wait, how would she know that? Missions are supposed to be confidential." Ino said, causing Shikamaru to raise his eyebrow.

"She works in Tsunade's office, I bet she knows where everyone in the village are at now." he said, turning back to the map. "But that's not all, judging by how far the dots are from the circles, it looks as if she's not planning to do more then just watch." he said. Ino scratched her head.

"So your telling us we came all this way for nothing?" she asked, getting angry. Shikamaru shook his head.

"I don't know, that just doesn't seem right. You said she left you almost heated, right?" Ino nodded. "Then that must mean she must be really angry, and everybody knows if Sakura's angry with someone, she tends to always make them pay. So why would she just watch over them and not take action? It just doesn't seem right." Shikamaru said, closing his eyes and leaning back on the tree, trying to figure it all out. He opened them when he heard Ino gasp.

"Maybe she's not planning to do anything because she's not the one who's gonna do it. Maybe she's planning to make someone else do her dirty work." Ino said, making Shikamaru raise his eyebrow at her. "What? It doesn't sound that bad. Why are you giving me that look?"

"Because I can't believe you out of all people just figured it all out." Shikamaru said, getting a smile from Ino.

"Looks can deceive you."

"Well, not all looks, I am a genius you know."

"Oh please, don't make yourself so special."

"I kinda am, since I was the only genin to get bumped up before everyone else."

"Psh, oh please, that was luck."

"That was skill."

"Nope, it was definitely luck."

"Trust me hun, it was skill."

She sighed. "Think whatever you want Shikamaru, i'm going to bed." she said, getting up and walking to the tent. 'I wonder when she's gonna say goodnight.' Shikamaru thought scratching his head. Who never said goodnight before sleeping? She unzipped the tent, fitting her whole body in it, before she looked back at him. "Oh, I almost forgot to say something..." she said as Shikamaru smiled. "YOU GOT BUMPED UP BECAUSE OF LUCK!" she screamed before she zipped up the tent. Shikamaru stared at her tent and couldn't help but chuckle. 'So typical Ino.'

"SUZUKI! GET IN HERE!" Kitahiko yelled, making the happy maid come skipping inside the living room.

"Yes, master."

"Get this fine lady and her...er...friend a room closets to the door, cause you know, your job is to watch over me and the house." He said, mostly to Naruto now then Hinata. The maid took Naruto and Hinata's hands and dragged them up the stairs and to down the hallway.

"So, my amazing ninjas. Would you like one room, or individual rooms?"

"Individual." they both replied at the same time. She looked at them, her eyebrow raising.

"Wait, aren't you two a couple?" she asked, causing both of them to blush.

"N-No!' Naruto exclaimed.

"W-Where j-j-just f-f-friends." Hinata said, hearing her stuttering return in the most awful way.

"Aw, that sucks. I heard the way you guys were apologizing in the living room. Oh, by the way, I eavesdropped on you guys when you were apologizing to each other in the living room." she said, smiling innocently.

"It's alright...i guess. Well, since i'm kinda beat, can you show me the room please? He he." Naruto said trying to lighten the tension. The maid smiled inwardly at herself as she continued to walk.

"Oops, sorry, looks like we're all out of rooms. You might need to get a hotel room, which will cost you a ton, leaving you without money for food and drinks and- Wait, oh, well there is one room available, but you guys have to share it." She said, watching the blushes return to Naruto and Hinata. Naruto's blush faded when he stared down the hallways, scratching his head and pointing to the many doors.

"Wait, what about all those rooms?"

"They're occupied."

"Well, there must be a lot of people here if they're all occupied."

"The master is a very generous man."

"He didn't seem all to generous to me in the living room."

"He doesn't like to open up on the first visit, you know the shy types."

"Well, can I knock on one of the doors and ask if I can crash with one of them for the night?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"It's rude."

"No it isn't, it'll be rude if they said no to the person watching over them for the night."

"Their paying guest, we don't want to scare them off."

"You think i'll scare them off?"

"I'm sure you will."

"You little- Hold on, didn't you just offer us individual rooms?"

"Yes, I did."

"So what happened now?"

"I found out they were occupied."

"How can it be suddenly occupied?"

"It just can."

"Why you-"

"Yes?"

"ALRIGHT! STOP! BOTH OF YOU!" Hinata screamed at the two who had been going back and forth the whole time. They both turned to the violet haired ninja in confused expressions. She sighed then turned to the maid. "Fine, we'll stay in the non-occupied room."

"Thank you ma'am. Please, do follow me."

TheEnd.

Alright, so this, is very short. Took me awhile to get the concept of the story, and don't worry, there will be more intimate moments between Naruto & Hinata. But for now, well, he he idk. Review! I really dig those :)
