Disclaimer: Nope Naruto still isn't mine

I drew a picture of Tuyen and Inu and it's in my deviantart Acc which you can get the link for on my profile.

Sorry this one took so long I've had a crazy week!!! But I did get to get the outline for this story fixed up a little bit and there's some cool Gaara stuff coming on soon as well a some Sasuke stuff to!

This chapters a little short because the next one has a lot of stuff in it and I couldn't cram it into one chapter so I just had to put this into one…. But this part is important because it has someone very important in Tuyen's life in it.

I also got to go to a costume party on Saturday, My brother and I went as convicts and we won for best costume (along with like 10 other people, but it was still fun!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke looked up to see a dark shape coming from behind some large machinery. "Hey, I'm here for Zaku's stuff," he said, holding up a pendant. "He gave me this."

Letting out a small chuckle, the figure nimbly walked over to Sasuke and gently took the pendant. Because of the lack of light, Sasuke couldn't make out much, but the form appeared female, and she was a few inches shorter than him, with dark hair either blue or purple in color.

"Come on, kid, I'll get what you want." Turning, she walked back behind the large work counter.

"I'm not a kid," he said stiffly. "I'm probably older than you are."

She laughed lightly, not even looking toward him. "I bet you are." She pulled out a box and set it on the counter in front of him

"Here, kid."

The "kid" roughly took the box, snarling slightly.

"Inu? Is someone there?"

The girl half turned. "Yeah, some boy."

A tall man with shiny black hair and glowing green eyes came into view. A small smirk played on his lips as he saw Sasuke.

"Ah, Uchiha. I hope you found everything suitable."

The dark-haired boy nodded. "Yes, Orochimaru."

The snakelike man turned to the girl. "You may go, Inu." The dark figure of a girl bowed slightly and left.

Orochimaru turned to Sasuke, an evil smirk spreading across his face. But the Uchiha didn't give him time to talk; with a quick nod, he left as well.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sasuke-kun!!!"

Sasuke sighed as half the female population with in a mile radius (or so it seemed) called out his name. He was so not in the mood for this—then again, was he ever? Grumpily, he stalked over to his "friends" and almost sat on some girl he had never seen before.

------

Ino was telling Tuyen all the dos and don'ts when then blonde suddenly jumped out of her seat. "Sasuke-kun!!!" she cried, which nearly scared Tuyen right out of her skin. Sakura, who wouldn't be outdone, jumped up as well.

"EEEE Sasuke-Kun!!!" Both girls glared at each other and began fighting again.

Curious about what kind of boy could inspire such feelings in both girls, Tuyen turned. She instantly knew who they where talking about. He was a dark-haired boy and, she had to admit, he was very cute, hot, cool—you name it, he embodied it. Sulkily, he walked over to their table. Eyes downcast, he didn't see Tuyen and almost sat on her. Letting out a squeak, she jumped back, almost falling over Hinata. The boy just glanced at her and grunted.

"Hey, Sasuke-kun," both Ino and Sakura sang out in unison. They glowered at each other again, and Tuyen could see another fight getting ready to start. The raven-haired boy ate in silence, brooding over some deep dark thoughts.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto grumbled furiously as he loaded timber onto wagons. "Why me!" he cried—to himself, seeing as there was no one else to complain to. "It's so unfair, that stupid jerk!"

"Hey, Naruto."

The frustrated boy looked up to see a boy with dark, reddish-brown hair and shining green eyes.

"Hey, Raie," Naruto replied, sounding somewhat sullen.

"Guess what?"

"What?"

"I asked the head if he could cut your time in half if I helped him with something and he said yes."

The blond's eyes got wide. "REALLY?"

"Yep! You hungry?"

"ALWAYS!!! I bet Sakura and the others are still there!!!"

The older boy smiled. "Yeah, I'm sure they are."

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuyen was listening to the others talk about random things when Kiba stood up.

"Yo, Naruto, over here!"

Tuyen turned, smiling. Then she froze, her heart stopping in her chest.

"R… Raie?" she breathed. The boy was laughing and telling Naruto something when he looked up, his green eyes meeting Tuyen's aqua ones. The smile on his face faded and it was as if time stood still.

Suddenly, the girl jumped up tears, welling up in her eyes. "Raie!!" she cried, running into his arms. "I… We all thought you were dead!"

The older boy smiled as he gently patted her back. "Well, I'm not. When and how did you get here?" he asked, gently leading his crying cousin to the table and helping her to sit down. Tuyen wiped her eyes, then flushed, seeing the ruckus she had caused.

"I got here last night; I met Naruto at the same time."

"Where are you staying? Are you rooming with anyone?"

Tuyen nodded, brushing an annoying strand of hair out of her face. "I think I'm staying with that Uchiha boy, the one who killed his clan..." she mumbled. Suddenly, the whole table fell silent; Sasuke stood up and walked out. Raie looked pretty angry as well.

"W…what?" Tuyen asked, confused.

"'What?'! Why are you staying with a boy? Not to mention a creep like that guy! Has he done anything to you?" her cousin demanded.

"No! He said something about me being too young, so I just told him I'd clean…" Tuyen explained quickly, trying to calm down her cousin.

The older boy huffed furiously. "Well, just be careful."

"Wow," Naurto said. "You have it tough, Tuyen, living with the Uchiha, then having to work for Gatou all day."

Raie jumped up. "WHAT?!"

Sakura hit Naruto over the head. "Idiot!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Lol had to end it on a little light note, Tuyen's cousin doesn't come around to much but he has a big part later on, Inu on the other hand HAS a BIG role as we move on so tell me how you like her so far.
