A/N: Hello, I'm back. Sorry for the long wait, especially sorry to you A55! But still, everyone else I really do appreciate the hits, but you know what I'd appreciate more: Reviews, so don't forget to! ON TO THE FANFIC!

Narutos POV *finally: P*

I walked down the quiet streets of Konoha, with only one thing on my mind at the moment. I couldn't forget about the girl that I met, but I didn't seem to remember her name, or even if she gave me one. She was really pretty though, I do remember that. She had beautiful brown hair, two long strands in the front and a short cut in the back, her hair also had highlights in it, blond and black. Her eyes were hazel, not like fake hazel, but real hazel. They would turn colors slightly every time the light shone in them. Around her neck she had a silver fish necklace, which she clung onto the entire time I was there. I don't know if it was for good luck or something, but she never let go. She was wearing the white hospital clothing, but it just seemed to hug her body in all the right places, not that I was staring in certain places anyways.

"I really do wish that I would've made a better impression of myself. What kind of idiot hits a girl over the head and sends her to the hospital, and then thinks that they will ever get even a second look from the girl?" "Naruto, there are two things wrong here," Sakura began, in a slightly annoyed voice "One is that we are suppose to be focused on training and not some little crush. And two is that you probably will get a second glance from her, but it will be more like a death glare. Now can we focus please?!"

I remember how much I used to love Sakura-Chan. And, no matter what, I'll always have respect for her as a person. However, I don't understand why it took me so long to realize how mean she is. "Forget it Sakura-Chan. I'll just talk to someone else. Train on your own, I'm out of here!" I said walking away. Sakura was probably right though, the only other time that girl would look at me would probably be to tell me that my funeral is coming up.

Either that, or I'm just thinking about it to much. I don't even know the girl, and she could be really sweet. So that's my new mission now; find that girl and don't stop till it kills me!

Akikos POV

I was walking towards Ichiraku's Ramen Shop to find Ayame. I really needed to apologize for the way I acted. It was childish and inappropriate and I wouldn't want to lose a friend over my own issues. I spotted Ayame fixing food behind the counter and I saw another figure sitting down, chatting away to her. He seemed familiar from the back, but after just getting out of the hospital, I was a little dizzy. I didn't want to have to wait to talk to her, nor did I want to talk to her with some nosey guy all up in my business, but then again, what other choices do I really have. So I walked up to the shop and I managed to catch her eyes about 4 feet away. Her eyes got big, and I expected there to be yelling and eyes filled with rage. But instead, I got open arms, and eyes filled with sorrow and friendship. Just as I began to smile the person sitting down turned around, making my smile grow even wider as I walked the rest of the distance toward them.

"Ayame, Akito, since when are you two on a date?" I joked with a smirk. Akitos' face blushed red, and Ayame tried to change the subject. "Oh my gosh! Akiko when did you get out of the hospital? I was worried shitless about you!" she yelled with joy.

"Never mind that right now, whats up with you and who's that blonde that I saw going into your room before I left? Is he the one that put you in there?" Akito jumped in.

I didn't know whose question to answer first. "Um… yeah… I uh-" I stopped, remembering what I came her for. I practically pushed Akito off of his chair and took his place. Why? Because I thought it would've been funny, which it was!

"Ayame, I came here to apologize. I am so sorry for the way I acted. I should've never treated you like that. Its just you sounded like a grown up, telling me that we should talk and all. You know I hate that. But anyway, please forgive me! I wouldn't want to ruin a good friendship over something so childish." I said quickly, but with total confidence.

"Akiko, I have always forgiven you. Right after you left, I realized that I did something that I knew you hated so much. I wanted to go find you, but Father had just left for a quick walk, and I couldn't leave. I wanted to know… if you could forgive me?" she replied.

Before I was able to answer, Akito wrapped an arm around our shoulders, and pulled us into a big tight hug. "Look at this. The Triple A's, back together again, fighting crime and serving justice!" he said with a big smile and me and Ayame laughed. Akito always knew the right moment to start playing around.

"Alright, since that's over with I need your help. You see about the blonde kid-" "His name, its Naruto. Ayame told me that!" Akito jumped in. "Okay, well this Naruto person who came to my room. Yeah, he was the one who attacked me. The only thing I want to know is who is he?" I said fixing myself on my chair. Well, that and why he attacked me, but I'm sure that was obvious.

"Well, I do know that he's in our academy class. He doesn't talk much though and he usually sits alone. Maybe tomorrow at school we should talk to him, it shouldn't be that hard." Akito said.

"Alright then, we investigate tomorrow! I must know more about this culprit, immediately!" I saw in a British accent. I got to admit, the guy was cute, really cute. And not only was he cute, but he put me in the hospital. No one has ever done that before. So, I gotta know why, you know.

"Then it's settled! Tomorrow at school we begin Operation Search for Akiko's attacker!"

A/N: Okay, so if you read Chapter… I'm not sure what chapter this is. I think it's 4. Well, if you've read this chapter before and it was slightly different, it's because I did edit it. I took out the major Sakura bashing because I gained slight respect for her and Naruto would have been very OOC in that situation. I also had some grammar errors and what not. My work is never beta'd, but I think it should be. So, anywho, I'll have the next chapter up very soon. I'm working on the details and such in my head as I type, okay. Thanks for sticking with me you guys! Ja Mata!
