Tori: Okay! We decided to skip a month or two ahead!
Julie: WHOO! Oh- Mind Walking Rabid Squirrel (I love that pen name!), your idea is pretty good! We've decided to use your idea in a way in the later chapters.
Tori: Here's a clue- reincarnations. And more information, but we don't want to spoil anything, now do we?
Julie: Yup! And, everyone! THANKS FOR REVIEWING! The more reviews we get, the faster we update. We're glad everyone's enjoying this story as much as we are!
Disclaimer: We do not own the show Naruto or any of it's characters. We only own Tori, Julie, Ally, Kori, etc. Blah, blah, blah. You get it.

I Hate Scavenger HuntsChapter Four
The Roof Is On Fire (Literally!)
It's been a whole month since the girls have arrived at Konoha. They've learned the basics about being a ninja. They still have a lot to learn. They've been going on simple D ranked missions to pay the rent for their apartment. They are no longer apart of the other teams. They are now all one team of four.
We join our main characters of the story in their small apartment, preparing dinner.

Tori sighed as she sat on the couch, staring out of the window in silence. She has slightly changed in the past month. The thought of never seeing Tristan again made her more silent and more tempered. Even violent sometimes! Hey, loss of love does that to you.
Ally was sitting on the other end of the couch, reading a book quietly. Lately, she's been feeling very left out of the group. She didn't like it here. She liked it better back home. Thoughts of suicide crossed her mind numerous times. But today, she decided that committing suicide wasn't the answer. She was going to run away. She didn't know when- but she was going to. That was what her book was based on. Ideas for how to run away and where to go. Poor girl. And her friends didn't have a clue she was feeling this way.
Kori was laying on the floor, writing something. What is she writing, you ask? She was writing in her diary. She finally settled down. She didn't flirt too much anymore. She realized guys here liked more serious girls. But she's been taking an extreme like to Neji… The only boy she gets nervous around!
Julie was in the kitchen. Cooking dinner. She hasn't changed at all. Still the same hyper, klutzy, stupid, clueless Julie. In some situations she's serious but… that's about it.
Kori stood up and crept behind Tori.
Tori sighed. "Kori, I know you're there." She stated.
Kori groaned. "Aw, man!" she whined. "How'd you know?"
Tori turned to Kori. "I don't need eyes. I've got some strong ears. Plus it's like I have some sixth sense ever since we got here."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah, really."
A smirk formed onto Kori's mouth. "Then how about a little challenge? Put the headband around both of your eyes. And keep it like that. FOR A WHOLE MONTH. And if you take it off, you do all my chores for the rest of our lives."
Tori sweat dropped. "You don't do any chores, Kori. I do everything around here." She then looked to the kitchen. "Actually, I don't think it was a good idea to let Julie cook dinner."
Kori shrugged. "What's the worst she can do? Burn the place down?"

An hour later…
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
The girls were standing outside the apartment complex, staring at the flames quickly spreading through the entire complex. They watched families and recently married couples run out of the building.
"I can't believe it… Julie set the whole place on fire…" Kori said softly.
"Where are we going to stay?" Ally asked.
"We're going to have to pay for all of this, aren't we!?" Julie cried out.
Tori put her hand over Julie's mouth. "Don't give them any ideas. I'm sure this building has insurance or something…" she whispered. "Now… I think I have an idea on where to stay. Follow me."
The girls picked up their boxes and ran away. Thankfully they had time to put most of their things inside boxes before running out.
Finally, they had reached the Uchiha Complex.
"Sasuke's? SASUKE'S? Gosh, Tori. I didn't know you liked him like that." Kori stated.
Tori rolled her eyes. "No… Team 7 is out of town for a mission, remember? That means Sasuke's not here! So we'll stay here until then."
"I like that idea! I mean, this place is awesome!" Julie yelled and ran inside.
Tori and Kori walked inside.
Ally sighed and followed behind.
"I'm hungry!" Julie whined. "I'm going to cook some dinner!"
"NO!" the other three girls yelled in unison.
"I'll cook dinner. Like always." Tori sighed and walked into the kitchen. She looked to see what Sasuke had. He had a lot of things to eat, actually.
"PSHHHHH. I'd tap that!" Julie rolled her eyes to Kori.
"Obviously." Kori laughed.
"Obviouslyyyyy." Tori echoed, stepping out of the kitchen. "We're having soup. Okay? Okay." She stated. She sat on the couch and turned to Kori. "So, how about this. If I win, you have to do everything I say for a whole month. And if YOU win, I'll do everything you say for a month." She nodded.
"Deal." They both shook hands and Tori put the headband over both eyes.
Suddenly, the door opened. The girl's heads snapped.
"Sasuke?" they all asked in unison.
"Well, this IS my house…" Sasuke stated.
Tori stood up. "We thought you would be gone for at least another two weeks."
Sasuke shook his head. "No." He closed the door behind him. "Now… what are you doing here..?" he said, coldly. Hey, he was Sasuke.
"Well, you see…" Tori was trying to find the words.
"JULIE BURNT DOWN OUR APARTMENT AND WE NEED A PLACE TO STAY!" Kori spat out. "Heh. Sorry. Kind of just… came out..?" she sweat dropped.
"What she said!" Julie nodded.
"So… can we stay?" Tori asked.
Sasuke stared at them as if they were all insane. And they were. "No." he said simply.
"Please? I promise I'll do everything. I'll clean, cook… and we won't get in your way. We REALLY need a place to live." Tori said. Her and her friends all had huge puppy dog eyes.
"Fine. But don't annoy me or you're out…" Sasuke stated.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Kori exclaimed and hugged Sasuke tightly.
Soon Julie joined in the hug, and Tori and Ally decided to, too.
Of course, we all know grumpy 'ole Sasuke didn't hug back. "Get off of me." He groaned.
"Sorry." Kori said, as everyone released the hug.
"Just go find a room and stay quiet." Sasuke said before walking past the girls and to his own room.
"This is why I like Itachi better…" Ally murmured.
Tori gave a small laugh. "Okay then, Ally." She said. She walked back to the kitchen. "Dinner's ready!" she called out.
"Yay!" Julie cheered and the three walked into the kitchen and sat at the table.
"Eat up. And that bowl's for Sasuke. So hands off. That means you, Jubilee." Tori stated, swatting Julie's lingering hand with the wooden stirring spoon. She really did play the part of a mother or eldest sister in this dysfunctional family the four had created.
Tori checked every room, trying to find Sasuke's. The last door at the end of the hall must've been his. She knocked ever so softly on the wood.
Sasuke gave a small sigh as he stood up and opened the door. Just enough to see his head. "What do you want?" he asked, seeing Tori.
"I made some soup. Do you want some?" Tori asked.
Sasuke stared at her for a moment. "No." he said, before closing the door.
Tori's mouth widened. "How rude!" she exclaimed, before walking back to the kitchen, muttering curses. "I'm nice enough to offer him a meal and he just closes the door on my face! THE NERVE!" she crossed her arms over her chest. "I'm skipping dinner tonight and going to bed. Behave!" she said before storming off into an empty room.
Well, this would be interesting…

Julie: Oh my! Doesn't seem Tori and Sasuke's relationship will build so easily.
Tori: Okay everyone! We're going to try to update as soon as possible!
Julie: But first… we need YOU all to vote!
Tori: That's right! The next four chapters will be all about our couples.
Julie: But we need YOU to decide which order it will be in!
Tori: Which means, what do you want to see first? Do you want the next chapter to be TorixSasuke, then JuliexNaruto, and well, you catch my drift,
Julie: VOTE NOW! YOUR OPINION MATTERS! FWEE!
