CHAPTER SEVEN. HATE MAIL CULPRITS PUNISHED.

Look! I finally got my computer back up. Unless some of you didn't check my profile, the only thing I could update, I put that my desk fell apart. So, I had to take my computer down and I couldn't use it, but I finally got it back up! Sorry it took so long, but I can't blame my desk for this taking so long. I got a huge writers block and everyday I'd come and try to write. I couldn't think of anything and eventually, I just forgot to come and try... SORRY! Thank Amy for my creative fueling.

Kugatsu Kuro Kyohaku Bara – I'm so going to make them closer because... I love those two crazy kids! THANKS FOR THE REVIEW.

YamiKitsuneKami – Teehee. I agree. He is so cuddly. I love that man!

The Rebel Goddess – Kakashi ranting is so out of character, but so... I don't know. I just love making him random.

MikoHatome – Lookit! I'm updating!

EarthDragonAlchemist – Well, not really… But close enough! Thanks for the review!

blue heartz – Thanks for the compliment! I think it's cute too. XP

Amy – Don't worry, Amy. This is indeed Hope. You're not going insane. I'm still kind of upset that you gave Sahana the link! I wanted HER to find it. Just don't give it to Kirby. Hehe. Well, thanks for reviewing. I didn't think you'd like it! And thanks for the twist!

Smoogee – If you're going to keep correcting me, you can't read anymore! And I'll make sure you don't. Me and Amy have our ways. Mehehe.

As you can see by reading that for a week now, my friends have been looking for my review. Fortunately, I kept it hidden long enough to get them all frustrated and unfortunately, they found my bad writing and will bug me for weeks now! But, this means mandatory reviews. Mwuahahahaha.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto!

"Finally. They left us for a little while..." I let out a little happy sigh and leaned up against Kakashi.

"Yeah. It's not that bad." He laughed. I glared at him, "I'm just joking. I'm glad they're gone for now as well."

"I still hate that they still have to stay here. Things were much better when we only had to see them for a few hours each day. It's like every time I turn around, Naruto's there!"

"Have you ever noticed that every time we try to kiss, they're there?"

"I know! It's so weird! We're going to have to find out who's out to get them soon..."

"I agree. Not only are they a nuisance, but they could strike any minute now."

"Who would want them to die?" I asked curiously.

"Well, they aren't the only ninjas in town. They also aren't the most popular, excluding Sasuke of course." He replied.

"Are you saying that it's another squad trying to kill them?" Why would...? This is insane!

"Perhaps, but I don't know. Teenagers are confusing."

"I agree." I nodded slowly.

"So, um..." He started to say then looked away. I laughed a little bit and turned to him.

"We're all alone. Hmm. I wonder what we should do."

"I don't know. What do you think?" He smirked. Yeah, I couldn't see it, but I've known him for a while and... After you've been with him for a while, you begin to read his facial expressions with that one eye. Amazing, huh?

"This is what I think!" I exclaimed and leaned in, but no sooner did I pull his mask up a quarter of an inch, the trio appeared, "GAH!"

"Gah?" He raised an eyebrow and then shouted, "Where did you three come from!"

"We've been here all along." Sasuke said.

"We wanted to give you two a little privacy!" Sakura explained

"More like only you did..." Sasuke muttered.

"Yeah, but we draw the line at… Whatever you two were going to do!" Naruto shouted.

"Ooooh, boo hoo." I mumbled and then edged away from Kakashi.

"Aki..." Kakashi sighed. I shook my head. Honestly, that man has no morals! I shall not corrupt the evil children!

"So, we were going to get to the bottom of this, weren't we?" I asked.

"Of what?" Naruto asked stupidly.

"The notes, you idiot!" I yelled and then looked to Kakashi, "Where do we start?"

"Well, we should ask if Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura have anymore information about it." Kakashi told me.

"Okay, you three! What do you know?" I asked, raising an eyebrow in suspicion.

"Since when did we become suspects?" Sasuke asked.

"OKAYIMADETHENOTESDON'TPUNISHME!" Sakura screamed.

"What!" I stared at her, wide-eyed. I will have to use a code deciphering jutsu (Haha! This goes to you and you know whom you are!) to understand what she said.

"Sakura. Don't take all the blame. It was mostly me and Sasuke's fault, right?" Naruto asked, and then ended it with a glare towards Sasuke.

"Yeah, I guess so. You still owe me." Sasuke murmured.

"Okay. I'm confused." Kakashi said, speaking for him and me as well.

"Yes. Mind explaining?" I asked.

"Well, we wanted to know if you really were together or if you were just lying to make Kakashi seem... Capable of loving someone." Sakura explained.

"Me and Sasuke had a bet. He thought that you were telling the truth and I didn't." Naruto added.

"So, we formulated this plan to get in your house so we could figure it out, but it was really all Sakura." Sasuke said the final piece to the puzzle.

"Haha. Good story. Why'd you really do it?" I asked.

"It's the truth!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Now that I think about it… It's such a juvenile thing for Sasuke to do. He wouldn't do that. I would like the real truth, please." Kakashi said.

"I bet they did it just to annoy us." I muttered.

"OKAYICONFESSWEDIDITTOANNOYYOU!" Sakura yelled.

"What?" Kakashi and I said together.

"She said: Okay, I confess. We did it to annoy you. HEEEEY." Naruto frowned at her. Kakashi and me looked at each other.

…

"YOU CAN'T KICK US OUT! WHAT IF SOMEONE REALLY IS AFTER US?" Naruto yelled as we threw him out the door. The other two followed willingly.

"Too bad." I shouted at him and shut the door, "Thank God that is over…"

"I agree." Kakashi muttered. Well, at least… We hoped it was over.

So… A few days after the incident, I went out shopping. No, not shopping for clothes. What self respecting ninja does that? Well, anyway… I walked in the market and remembered the last time I had been in there. It was when Kakashi had tied me up and dragged me out.

People still give me weird looks.

So, I got what I needed and headed up to the counter. The man at the till gave me a smile and it wasn't any normal smile. It was a forced one.

"So, where's your brother?" The man asked.

"My brother? OH! See, funny story… He's not really my brother. He was just—NEVERMIND!" I nodded.

"Alright, then…" He gave me a funny look and then gave me my bags, "You have a nice day."

"Thank you!" I smiled and left the store. I paused once outside it. Something didn't feel right… I could feel someone's eyes burning a hole into my neck, so to speak. I whirled around, dropping the bags and whipping out a kunai. I was too slow and they got me first.

The last thing I thought before I blacked out was… 'That better have been Kakashi…'

So sorry it took so long! And sorry that it's not long enough.
