(This is a re-done chapter! Thanks to my twister, i noticed a fatal flaw in my work! I switched Kurenai and Asuma around! So now Kurenaiis the girl, and Asuma is the boy again, Though they really are far to young to be a boy and girl. Anywhoo, nothing else is changed, just telling ya! Now here's this fic's chappie!)

Hey'yal! (wow, i sound like Chuu(YYH), i'll fix that, hang on...) How's it been? This is the second chapter today! and let me just say: Yeah! do the wave! -sand comes up, and as said, does a wave-

Well, like i said, Shukaku's here! Again! But now it's time to meet... the pervert! Our 'fave' peeping-tom, Jiraiya!

Jiraiya: What! It's reasearch!

Me:... -takes BIIIIIGGGGG stick and whacks him with it- eh, it's not as good as the GNOD, but i don't have the rights tothat.

Shukaku: GNOD?

Me: Giant Newspaper Of Doom, very effective, but not mine; that belongs to an awesome authoress, (and i haven't asked for it, so i can't, and won't, use it) as Naruto is not mine, (though i do use him), nor any of his friends. -cries-

Shukaku: ...- Sweatdrop- i'll start the story now...


-------------Hokage's----------------------

IfKurenai was surprised at all to see all of the other teams there, she didn't show it. They all waited patiently (A/n: Yeah right, some of those guys were born with 'no patience' and 'patience is dead' tattooed on their foreheads!) as Ino recalled her part of a strange encounter with a girl who had brown hair she had met in the streets, and who had apparently been a civilian, but had tripped over a rock that wasn't there just in time to knock Ino over and cause her to narrowly avoid being impaled by a kunai in the neck.

"And she turned a corner and left, but when I went to say thank you, she was gone, and it was as if she didn't have any chakra whatsoever. Even though all civilians have some chakra in them."

Naruto spoke up before the Hokage had a chance to reply.

"Ne, Baa-chan! What about us! There was a sound nin that attacked us by kidnapping a girl and using her as bait to get us to follow and tried to kill us! If Iruka-sensei hadn't been there, we would have been done for for sure!"

Just then Iruka walked in himself.

"I don't know what you're talking about Naruto; I was here all day, helping Hokage-sama with her filing" he gave an invouluntary shudder.

"And I can attest to that, baka." Tsunade bonked Naruto none to gently on the head.

"Wait, Hokage-sama! This girl was injured too! In her arm like she had been struck by a kunai!" Ino yelled, trying to get her point across, what it was, she didn't know.

Kurenai stiffened. "Tsunade-sama, I believe we have a rather large problem here." She started, shutting up both with her glare. "That girl that Ino was talking about sounds a lot like the one Naruto was talking about, and also like the one we saw, and you shouldalso know a ninja that saw her get that wound. She stumbled at the perfect moment and instead of hitting her in the heart, where it was aimed; it hit her in the right arm."

"Great, we need to find her then."Asuma said nonchalantly, puffing at his cigarette.

"I knew it." Neji said, and Tenten gave him an embarrassed and apologetic look.

"Sorry, we thought she was just a civilian." She sighed. "Guess we were wrong."

"Well, don't just stand there! Go find her!" Tsunade cried, and they were gone in a flash, none of them wanting to incur her wrath.

---------Back with Korochi-----------

She whistled, very pleased with herself, her arm was bandaged, and she had decided to go to her team at last, before one of the guys managed to slip away.(again, thankfully their little fox boy was captured after he managed to go around four feet down the cliff. He still has rope marks where they hauled him up by the neck a little hard)

She had managed to save Ino, her friend's mom, while she was shopping in the market with her team for a low ranked mission. She was almost surprised that Shikamaru hadn't noticed it, but he was to busy looking at the clouds and trying to tell Chouji that they should get going in as few words as possible at the stand across the street.

She had disappeared from there fast when she felt his gaze on her and her bleeding arm. After that she had wrapped it the first chance she got, which was about a block away in Ino's parent's flower shop itself. She was very glad that they weren't ninjas, and therefore hadn't noticed her quick entrance and exit, or the smell of blood.

She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice the little white dog till she about tripped over it.

"Eep!" She stumbled and verbally cursed her luck. "What did I trip on now?" She whined, turning to look at the object of disapproval. When she saw it was Akamaru however, she grinned at him.

"Hey there little guy!" She cooed at him. "Thanks for you and your friends saving me. I seem to have had the worst luck today." Her eyes brightened a little and she rummaged through her groceries sack. "Here! A treat for helping me!" She giggled as he took the doggie treat. "I have to admit, dogs are some of my fave animals, so I always buy doggie treats whenever I can, just in case I meet one, since I don't have on of my own just yet." She sighed thoughtfully. "Though I must admit, foxes are up there too, almost a tie. Especially a certain little one, he makes me laugh so hard sometimes."

Getting up from her squatting position, she patted him on the head. "See you later!" Walking off, she wondered what Kiba was doing leaving Akamaru to wander, or maybe he had been sent to check up on her, and see if she was alright? Oh well, she didn't care.

She started up her whistling again, and walked down the street.


I think i'll end it here, what do you two think?

Jiraiya: I think it is a lovely idea! Fitting for such a lovely lady!

Me:...-raises eybrow- you are an idiot to call me that(lovely? please, you are my breakfast boy...on second thought, i'll pass), specially since you can't see me in there.

Shukaku: Yes, he is. -finishes tapeing box that our perv-sannin is currently trapped in, and licks some stamps- But that makes this all the more interesting...-sticks stamps on box in a zig-zag pattern-

Me: -shoves box into tiny mailbox, and shuts it.- Yes, it does, doesn't it. Now i think i'll just wait for the mailman a bit... -whistles-

Well, bye all! Review!
