Apologies,

I had not realized I had posted the chapters so ridiculously out of order. Thank you, I like Angst, for pointing out that error. I should also clarify some things. The first chapter is basically the thought that started it all. All the chapters to follow will show what lead up to that moment. And hopefully before I reach chapter twenty there will be a Conclusion. Yeah! Sorry for the confusion.

For every one jumping back into this story or just getting started, here is a recap.

Chapter 1 – 4

Hyuuga International and Uchiha Corporation are business rivals. Hiashi's latest project is a joint venture with the communications and software company InoShikaCho Group, to build a new call center in Queens New York. The site that InoShikaCho wants to build on is owned by Uchiha Co. Neji has not been able to persuade the Uchiha to sell. Hiashi decides that his would be successor needs some motivation and calls Hinata back to the States. Hiashi issued them a challenge, that he will name one can get Uchiha to sign over the deed will be his successor.

In the back drop of this, Hiashi's youngest daughter, Hanabi, is planning her Sweet Sixteen and requested that world renowned designer Kankuro come up from Sao Paolo to design her dress. All three Sand sibs plan to come to New York. Temari is coming just because she can, and Gaara is tagging along because he can train with longtime friend Rock Lee for a triathlon. Lee and Tenten call them the cousins, for reasons I will explain later. But the news of the family reunion comes with a consequence Tenten would rather not deal with, that being, Itachi Uchiha.

On the Uchiha front, Itachi is not too keen on having anything to do with Neji Hyuuga. But his dear black sheep of brother Sasuke is also planning a huge celebration for the release of the Hebi's new album. He has even demanded Naruto's presence at the white party. The loud mouth blonde readily accepts and remembers that he was coming to city anyway to compete in the triathlon with Lee.

In a nutshell that was I should have posted. Sadly, I think I typed this up more me than you guys. But, I hope it helps.
