OMG AN UPDATE!! Sorry for the long wait everyone, I actually could have had this up awhile ago… like 2-3 months ago… but being the idiot that I am, I deleted this chapter when I was clearing up the junk that was cluttering up my computer T_T and then I became depressed and didn't feel inspired enough to rewrite it. Well hopes you enjoy it!
Oh and thank you for all the reviews that I've gotten, they lifted me up after I found out I deleted the original chapter and motivated me into writing a better one (not saying much though).
And ignore all the grammar and spelling mistakes please… i know they get annoying but its hard to spy them in my own writing.

Sasuke was annoyed.
Walking down one of the many streets in Konoha, he glared and every and anything in his line of vision, and even going out of his way to glare at the Anbu that he knew was following. Of course he knew he would be followed, especially after leaving the village to affiliate with Orochimaru. But it was such a disgrace to the Uchiha name to have someone as incompetent as this idiot to be tagging him. Sakura could probably hide her aura better than the idiot could.
Shooting one more glare at the Anbu, his thoughts wandered back to the source of his frustrations as he lifted one finger to touch the still sore hand mark on his chest where the women had burned him a week ago. It had been a whole week since that incident with Naruto and the women and the injury still hadn't faded. Glaring at nothing in particular, well maybe the Anbu that had come too close into his personal space, he thought of all the other injuries he had received in the past, ranging from broken limbs to nasty gashes that left the white of his bone visible to the eye, none of them had ever taken this long to heal. It was unthinkable that such a small, insignificant mark would hurt so much, and it looked like it hadn't healed one bite, looking as bright red as it had when he had first gotten it when that little slip of a women had pushed him aside (to think that he a Uchiha no less would be shoved aside so easily by her!).
And thus his thoughts shifted to the wench (Kagome was it?) that had appeared in their lives a little more than a week ago. She couldn't have been over eighteen years old, twenty at most, yet Naruto, or more precisely, the kyuubi had called her "okaasan". And just because a Uchiha never lied to anyone, especially themselves, she was also pretty, kinda. What was worse was that it seemed like the whole village had also picked up on that little fact. Less than a day after her grand entrance, complete with flashy lights, she gathered an entourage made up of it seemed all the competent Chuunins in the village.
With the energy that she and Naruto/Kyuubi had exhibited, the nearby teams had swiftly dashed over in order to access the disturbance. Naruto, after calming down, had followed her like a lost pupp-fox and had become inseparable from her ever since. Hinata and Neji had promptly appeared by Kagome's side, Hinata latching on to her right arm (as Naruto had taken her left) and Neji glaring at the rest of Team 7. Kiba Inuzuka, who, after taking a wiff of her scent, declared that she was definitely legendary princess of the wolves, and had taken it upon himself to become her body guard (after passing Neji's acrimonious inspection) to demonstrate his loyalty to the Lord of the Wolves (Akamaru had barked in agreement and taken it upon himself to "guard" her when Kiba couldn't).
The very next day, not only was she surrounded by Naruto (the fire cat on his head sleeping soundly despite the noise), Hinata, Neji, and Kiba, but Shino Aburame, Rock Lee, Tenten, Ino Yamanaka, Choji Akimichi, and Shikamaru Nara. And all of them had little excuses to justify their actions. Shino was just following the rest of his team. Lee had never seen anyone shine as brightly as she does (with the possible exception of his sensei of course). Tenten became interested in Kagome after spying the huge boomerang that towered over everyone behind her back (which he had to admit was very intriguing, since it looked almost too heavy for such a small frame to handle). Ino, as the town gossip, had taken it upon herself to find out every little thing about the "new girl" and her relationship with Naruto, and consequentially Choji and Shikamaru, as her teammates, had been dragged along for the ride.
And he had to admit: she was indeed an enigma. Although all the girls he knew would have relished in the attention the chuunins were showering her with, she seemed to shy away from it, only seemed to stay close to Naruto, and occasionally Hinata and Neji. And with the power she had displayed, she could easily scare away the guys hitting on her, and stop Ino's interrogations, but she seemed content with declining her would-be suitors (the ones brave enough to get near her after being glared at by Neji, Kiba, and Naruto) with an apologetic smile and a "sorry", and answering all of Ino's probing questions with answers that gave away nothing at all.
Bringing his hand up again, he scratched at the edge of the burn. Goddamn the thing was so annoying, hurting and itching at the same time. Kagome, probably a witch in disguise he figured, had offered to heal it after realizing he was only trying to protect the dobe (who the hell was trying to protect him anyways? It was just his instincts that moved him into attacking her). He of course had declined none too politely, still irritated that he, the destroyer of Orochimaru, who even Sarubito, the third Hokage, couldn't defeat, had been caught off guard by a women a her cat, and burned badly as a result.
Sakura could always heal him if it got to bad anyways, or so he had thought… to his horrification, whatever power the witch had used to hurt him couldn't be healed by chakra, and so none of the medicnins or even Tsunade herself was able to heal the little burn.
Turning his head slightly, he turned to see the beginning of the "Kagome posse", and scratching one more time at the handprint, he darted off, having no patience to deal with the group right now, leaving the poor floundering Anbu to catch up.
Yes, it was official, he was annoyed. But as the only heir left of the Uchiha clan (after he killed his brother of course) that was all he allowed himself to be in order to keep up his image.

Oh yeah during the time spent not writing this chapter, I've actually thought out a plot for it!! Erm kinda anyways. So the part where he's being stalked by the Anbu will be explained in later chapters ^^
I'll try updating more since I have time over the summer, I won't guarantee anything, and chapters will probably all be pretty short. But I'll try to at least get them over 1,000 words (not including AN.
