A/N: This is my first Naruto story, so no flames, please. I know I only have a few reviews so far, but I wanted to write this chapter. It was starting to bug me, and Gaara said that he would Implode Sand Burial me if I didn't post this. *watches Gaara carefully*
Gaara: *intently stares*
Me: *shiver runs down spine*
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, it's characters, or the song.
Chapter 2
"Good morning, Lady Jasumin and Lady Keiko," Asahina, the main servant, greeted them. She was also known as the girls's caretakers, calling them by their titles. "Can I get you two anything this morning?" she asked.
Jasumin shook her head. "No, thank you. I overslept, and I am late for a meeting with the Hokage." she replied politely, trying to hide her disgust.
"Very well, then," Asahina said, and was off. Keiko looked at Jasumin, and picked up Kistune, her little nine-tailed fox stuffed animal. It was supposed the have a relative of the demon nine tailed sealed away in it.
Jasumin dropped Riku, who transformed into a black-footed ferret. He crawled up onto her shoulder, and perched himself there. He nudged his head affectionately against her neck. Jasumin scratched his head, behind his tiny delicate ear. Riku looked at Kitsune and smiled.
"Hey, baby. How you doing?" he asked flirtatiously.
"Fine until you got here." Kitsune snapped back.
Jasumin rolled her eyes, and walked out the door onto the grassy lawn. It was beautiful outside, and it had nice warm weather today. This was obviously a good sign, as her kekkai genkai told her. The two girls greeted the guards outside their house, and walked towards the center of the village.
When they got to Lord Hokage's office, Jasumin ran into Iruka. His eyes widened, and he bowed respectively and apologetically. "Please forgive me, My Lady. I didn't see you coming." he said.
"Iruka," Jasumin scolded, "how many times have I told you not to call me My Lady, or Princess, or Miss? It's not necessary, and I don't really like be treated as such." She reached out and pulled him up by his arm. "You can just call me Jasumin, you know that."
Iruka nodded his head, and walked past her.
Jasumin and Keiko walked into the Hokage's office, and noticed Kyohaku sitting there. Tsuki, her demon she-wolf, was sitting in her lap. Whatever this was, it wasn't about anythign they had talked about previously. Jasumin and Keiko sat down on each side of Kyohaku. Riku growled and hissed at Tsuki. Jasumin shushed him quiet, and pulled a cookie out of her pocket.
"Well, then. Let's begin," Lord Hokage started as Riku munched on his treat.

(Jasumin's POV)
"Of all the things to make a day horrible, I can't believe the old man wants us to do this! He only said that there was a festival coming up, and we are in charge of the entertainment?! We have to dance?!" I ranted. Keiko looked at me with a bored expression on her face. Riku was still on my shoulder, nibbling on the cookie.
I stopped in mid-speech, stumped. We had gotten the news that Naruto and them were back from their mission, and it was only normal the we were the first one's he came and bragged to. He would always claim to have beaten Sasuke at something.
I looked around until I heard someone yell. I turned the corner of the fence, and saw Naruto and Sakura. Well, now I know where their at. I noticed some guy dressed in black, holding Konahamaru up by his scarf. There was also a girl, with blonde hair up in four pigtails. Moegi and Uto (note: sorry I don't know how to spell their names), were hiding behind Sakura.
"So, does this hurt, punk?" the black boy asked. Something was wrapped up on his back.
"You better take your hands off him right now!" Naruto demanded.
"We got a few minutes before he gets here. Lets' mess with these punks, eh?" Black-boy asked. Konahamaru whimpered in the older kids' grasp.
"Let go of me, you jerk!" Konahamaru said, kicking his feet.
"Your feisty, but not for long," Black-boy said, and I caught the deadly hint in his voice. Konahamaru could really get hurt, so I decided to step in. I looked at Riku, and took the cookie from him. "Riku, see him," I said, pointing to Black-boy, "sick him." Riku jumped off my shoulder, and ran toward Black-boy.
(Normal POV)
Riku ran and jumped on the boys' arm and scrambled to his face. He hissed as he scratched his face with his sharp little claws making sure no to get the eyes. The boy howled, and dropped Konahamaru, who scrambled over to Naruto.
"Kankuro!" the blonde girl shouted, as he fought Riku off his face. Kankuro heard a sharp whistle, and the ferret jumped off his face. Before he even had a chance to see where the source of the ferret was, he felt a sharp kick on the back of his knees, and dropped to the ground. He opened his eyes, and saw a pink and blue haired girl sanding with a purple and green haired girl. The ferret crawled onto the pink/blue haired girls' shoulder.
"So, that was your weasel, huh?" he asked tauntingly. The scratch marks stung his face. The ferret hissed and growled at him. Kankurou got up, and felt his fingers across his cheeks. They came away with only a little blood on them.
"Ah, come on, Jasumin. I had it all under control." Naruto complained. Jasumin turned to him, and Naruto frowned. By now, Moegi, Uto, and Konahamaru were hiding behind Jasumin and Keiko.
"Naruto, do you want to help me?" Jasumin asked. Naruto nodded eagerly, a big smile on his face. "Shut up." Jasumin said.
"I'll teach you who to mess with," Kankurou said as he aimed a punch at Jasumin. A sharp pain stung his wrist, and he looked up to see a raven haired boy in the tree. He tossed another stone up in the air and caught it.
"Your way far from home, and way out of your league." he said.
"Sasuke!" Sakura squealed.
"Fight Lady Jasumin and Lady Keiko, and your definitely going to be taken down." Sasuke said.
"Oh great, another wimp to tick me off." Kankuro said.
"Get lost." Sasuke said. Jasumin could hear Moegi and Sakura squeal in joy.
"Why can't you be cool like that?" Konahamaru asked Naruto.
"Kankurou, back off." a mysterious voice warned. Everyone looked up at the red haired boy on the other side of the tree. He had a red kanji for love tattooed above his eye. For some odd reason, he looked familiar to Jasumin. Too familiar.
"Your an embaressment to our village." he said.
"Oh, uh, hey Gaara." Kankurou stammered.
Yay, I finally introduced Gaara. Dun dun duuun! Stay tuned for the next chapter.
