Miyuki: So, this is finally out. I somehow have an underwhelming sense of accomplishment at this feat.

Hanabi: Maybe it's because you took so GOD DMNED LONG?

Miyuki: Hey, you're the one who told me to- and I quote- work at my own pace, end quote.

Hanabi: Don't turn my words against me! It's me who has to suffer being frozen in time while you piss-ass your time away planning other stories that you intend to publish later!

Neji: And me.

Naruto: Me too.

Hinata: Um…I also do.

Miyuki: Stop arguing with me! I'm the one making you say this, and I command you to stop!

Neji: Then why are you arguing with yourself?

Miyuki: …Screw you, Neji.

Hanabi: And that is how you know you've won with her.

Disclaimer Man: Miyuki does not own Naruto or any of the characters in the show and/or manga.

We ran fast, it was so nice to have the feeling of wind blowing through my hair. Right now I was happy I didn't have to train to have enough stamina, but if I knew what was coming... well, let's just say I would have trained 50 times as hard. For the sake of my sisters' relationship.

I hopped freely from tree branch to tree branch in the small forest beside the path, Neji just walked on the path like a normal person. Way to ruin the mood Neji. We could almost see them, without byakugan, that is. Suddenly Neji was in front of me. "Oof!" I squeaked as I ran into him.

"Listen." He said. I trusted him enough to perk up my ears. Indeed, I could hear the new couple. I activated my byakugan so I could see clearly, too. And there they were. They were eating ramen, nothing special.

"So Hinata-chan," he managed between bites, "What do you like doing?"

"W-well," she said, sipping her soup very lady-like, "I-I like pressing f-flowers."

"Really? I have a bunch of plants in my apartment that you could press."

"You grow flowers?" Hinata almost giggled.

"Well, they aren't exactly flowers, just plants with cool leaves, ya know?"

"Oh, yes. I understand."

"…."

"…." 'Well, start a conversation, someone, before this gets too awkward!' But, alas, the rest of the short meal is eaten in silence. After they finally finish the boring soup, Naruto pays in real money this time.

"So, wanna see my miniature garden?" Naruto asks as obnoxiously as possible.

"O-of course." Hinata stutters, her face as red as the fruit that everyone knows and loves. With her feeble response, Naruto grabs her wrist and leads her to his cockroach infested apartment.

"I suppose you want to chase them, right?" Neji asks, sounding slightly annoyed.

"Well duh." I respond just to irk him more. Keeping a safe distance behind, I attempted to stalk- ahem, trail my sister. Neji just keeps a far distance behind me, probably hoping that no one associates him with me. Why, that son of a bitch. They're almost at the apartment, and as they're going up the steps, Hinata suddenly whips around to face me. Thank my ninja reflexes, I hid behind a building just in time so that she didn't see me. Thanks to my hearing aid, I can hear them over my adrenaline-quickened heartbeat.

"What is it Hinata?"

"I...I thought I heard someone following u-us." And I could pretty much hear her blush when she said 'us'.

"I'm sure it was nothing, Hinata-chan."He told her. Hm. He's unconsciously defending me. Maybe he does have some use.

"Yes, you're probably right." She uttered. Then I heard them go up the stairs, and the opening and closing of a door. I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding. Ah, the suspense of being a spy. Some kid walked by, licking a lollipop and probably wondering why I was dressed in the colours of the wall, hiding behind a building. He kept his eyes on me as he slowly meandered down the street.

"Beat it, kid." I scowled at him. He quickened his pace and ran down the street I came from, nearly crashing into Neji on the way.

"It's just a kid." He reasons. Did he not just hear was I said?

"I know. You gotta scar them while they're still young." I joke. He raises is eyebrow, once again displaying his lack of humour-sensing-abilities. Sighing, I say "Let's just go." I then use a transformation jutsu and become a cockroach. 'It's disgusting and humiliating, but it'll get me to my goal.' I think, attempting to comfort myself. Neji also transforms into an ugly brown bug, and follows me as I spread my tiny insect wings and fly to Naruto's apartment.

~Lazily Placed Scene Transition~

From the perspective of a bug, Naruto's apartment was heaven. From a huamn's perspective in the form of a bug, it was the biggest garbage dump inside a house ever. Ever! I swear, the mounds of old Ramen bowls have doubled in size. Or maybe that's just my pathetically small size. Anyways, Naruto and Hinata are cleaning up, but they haven't made a whole lot of progress. I fly into a plant sitting on a window sill, for a better view. Hinata is using disposable glove to pick up the trash on the floor.

"I'm really sorry about this Hinata-chan. I didn't think it was that messy." Naruto apologizes, bowing his head in shame as he picked up some old ramen containers.

"Oh, it's fine. I'm never allowed to help clean at home, so this is a new experience for me." She softly replies, taking the dustpan and literally putting scoopfuls of stuff in the garbage.

"You're not allowed to clean your own house?" He asks, as he shovels more into the big, black, and stinky bag.

"No. It's because I'm from the main branch. We aren't allowed to do degrading labour." She earnestly answers. By now, they were actually making a dent in the litter.

"Wow. That sounds really strict."

"Yes, it is." These guys were fast workers. By now, the floor was almost half cleared. "Ah!" Hinata squeaks, and bends down to pick something up.

"What is it, Hinata?" Naruto leans on his broom for support.

"Cockroaches." She holds up the 2 inch long bug for him to see, smiling happily.

"Uh, cockroaches are a good thing?"

"Most people don't like them, but I know Shino-kun will. He taught me how to pick up insects. See?" She calmly holds out her pale finger and another bug crawls on it. "Naruto-kun, do you have an old container I can use?"

"Uh, sure." He tossed her an old container, surprisingly clean compared to its surroundings. Hinata gently lowered the bugs into the container.

"There you go little guys. You'll be safe with Shino-kun soon." She gently tells them, poking holes in the lid before shutting the container tightly.

And Naruto can't help but smile at his girlfriend.

Miyuki: This is only part one, because I couldn't fit the other half on the assigned two pages of story.

Hanabi: And hurry it up this time.

Miyuki: I swear, if you weren't all ninja and could totally beat the crap out of me at any given moment, I'd kill you for being so arrogant.

Hanabi: Thank my ninja reflexes for that. *sticks out tongue*

Naruto: Wow! I can't believe Hinata is actually helping clean my apartment!

Hinata: *blush*

Shino: I like bugs. [did anyone get the naruto abridged {vegeta, masakoX} reference there?]

Neji: Woooohoooo~!

Miyuki: So people, should I sneak some TenTen time in here because she gets next to none screen time in the anime and even less in the manga? I mean seriously, she doesn't even have a last name.

TenTen: DO SO!

Miyuki: *obviously amused* Then what is it?

TenTen: Fa!

Miyuki: … I guess it's not that weird compared to Kisame.

TenTen: Shut the hell up! I'm from China, you jerk!
