Hmm...remember those two ANBU members? Here's a lil more on them...

I don't usually bother writing the disclaimer thingy, coz it's obvious a silly nut like me doesn't own Naruto...sob...


Small World huh? (Yes you may have noticed, titling has got difficult when restricted to just the words strip and poker...)

"His condition is critical! Commence Chakra Infusion!" a medical ninja ordered.

The five medical ninjas stood around the still unconscious Gekkou, furiously making hand seals as they sent their chakra into his body.

Shizune ran into the room, "A Chakra Infusion isn't enough…"

The medical ninja all turned to look at her.

"We'll have to do a Life Chakra Infusion."

The medical ninjas frowned.

A regular chakra infusion just used up their energy, but life chakra infusion, it used up their lives.

"His friends have volunteered to do the transfusion, you may leave." Shizune said quickly.

Genma, Kakashi, Wanko, Iruka, Anko, Gai, Kurenai, Asuma, the bear and hippo masked ANBU members then entered the room.

They all stood around Gekkou and made some special hand seals.

"Ready?" Shizune asked. The ninjas nodded, the transfusion began and everyone concentrated.

A white light engulfed Gekkou and he twitched a little as his friends' life energy entered his body.

The transfusion was a risky one, there was only a sixty five percent success rate and if it failed, their life chakra would be just wasted.

The surrounding ninjas slouched over slightly, this transfusion used up immense regular energy too and their eyes were growing heavy, bodies growing weak.

They kept on pouring their energy into Gekkou, up until they each dropped to the ground unconscious.

"Heh…" Genma smirked just before he fell unconscious with everyone else, he could've sworn Gekkou had opened his eyes.

It was Wednesday morning and everybody was pretty much okay.

Everyone had been checked over and discharged; it was only really Gekkou, Yugao and Tsunade that needed to stay.

"Oh Gekkou!" Yugao cried from the bed next to her boyfriend.

"Yeah…" Gekkou mumbled turning to face her.

"You're such an idiot!" Yugao mumbled with tears in her eyes, "You could've been killed…"

Gekkou smiled, "Well…I didn't did I?"

Yugao smiled back, blinking the tears away, "Arigato for saving me…"

"Ssh!" Tsunade hissed, from the bed at on the other side of Yugao, "I'm trying to sleep!"

Yugao crept out of her bed slipped into Gekkou's, they snuggled up and Gekkou dried her tears.

"Gekkou…I love you."

"I love you too."

"Gekkou…you're not coughing anymore…" Yugao noticed, stroking his hair.

"All that life chakra must have cured it…" Gekkou grinned, "…Now I'll be able to kiss you for longer…with no coughs in between."

Yugao smiled, "Let's try it…"

Genma grinned from the window of the ward, "Hmm…looks like Gekkou's all better."

"And Tsunade's fine." Shizune smiled taking Genma's toothpick out so that she could kiss him.

The bear masked ANBU member standing next to Genma blushed under his mask as he watched Yugao through the window, "Um…we better go…"

"Yeah…" The hippo masked ANBU member agreed and they dashed off towards the remains of the Hokage's place.

Iruka, Anko, Kakashi and Wanko were already there.

"Found anything?" Bear mask asked.

"No…" Iruka sighed, "…All there is burnt wood."

"I've found something…" Kakashi mumbled, from where the calendar scoreboard used to be, "look…"

The five other ninjas crowded round as Kakashi lifted a broken pair of glassed from the ground.

"Kabuto…" Hippo masked whispered.

"You carry on searching…I'll deal with Kabuto…" Kakashi said sternly.

"I'm coming too!" Iruka mumbled, but then he looked at his thickly bandaged golf ball sized fingers.

"Don't worry…I'll go!" Wanko said excitedly.

Kakashi frowned and ran up to the rooftops, Wanko hot on his heels.

Anko gathered up the rubble and flung it into a massive pile. It would probably take ages to clear up such a big mess.

Soon Gai showed up too and asked, "Where's my rival?"

Upon hearing that Kakashi had gone to look for Kabuto, he vanished again.

Izumo and Kotetsu arrived a bit later and started helping with the clearing up.

"Hey Izumo! Kotetsu!" Anko said grinning, "Why were you nude when you were being rescued?"

Izumo blushed, and continued clearing the rubble.

Kotetsu cocked his head proudly into the air, "None of your business!"

Iruka was struggling to be of any help, having heavily bandaged fingers meant that he couldn't really use his hands for anything, so instead he kicked the rubble away instead.

Iruka was getting rather annoyed that a heavy plank of wood wasn't moving in the direction he wanted it to, so he gave it an extra mighty kick and sent it soaring through the air.

"Ow!" Hippo mask grumbled, "Watch it asshole!"

Iruka blushed and decide to stop 'helping'. He kissed Anko on the cheek and then went back to the hospital to see if Gekkou was doing okay.

He peered through the ward door's window everyone seemed to be asleep.

Iruka sighed, there was nothing much for him to do right now, and teaching had been cancelled for a week and his injured fingers made him pretty useless.

"Oi! Iruka!" Genma yelled, running up to the startled Iruka and patting him on the back.

"Oh, hi Genma." Iruka said cheering up.

"Hey…guess what?" Genma said his toothpick bobbing up and down madly, "You know those two ANBU members?"

"Yeah…what about them?" Iruka asked, as Genma put his face close to his ear.

"Yugao said that the hippo masked one's a girl and she's related to Kabuto…small world huh?"

"Kabuto?" Iruka frowned, "But Kakashi's looking for Kabuto! We think he started the fire."

"Oh…" Genma mumbled chewing his toothpick, "So why didn't the hippo girl go, she should know where he lives and all that."

"I…dunno…" Iruka ran his fingers through his ponytail and then decided to go back to the debris site.

Hippo mask was still there with bear mask.

"Hey um…" Iruka felt stupid, he hadn't bothered to ask Genma for her name.

"Yeah?" Bear mask replied.

"Um not you…" Iruka pointed at hippo mask.

"Hey, what's happening?" Anko asked, appearing next to Iruka's side.

"I think I've got some clues…" Iruka mumbled as he watched bear masked tap hippo masked on the shoulder.

"Hey Kalita…" bear masked said.

The hippo masked ANBU member stood up and turned to face Iruka, "What?"

"Um…you know where Kabuto might be…why didn't you go with Kakashi to look for him?" Iruka asked as he and Anko walked closer to them.

Kalita cackled creepily and took off her mask. She was definitely a relative of Kabuto's; she had the same silvery white hair, with the exception of two strands by her ears, which were icy blue, and the same dark eyes.

Her hair was really short though, not that different from the style of Bart Simpson's, no wonder most people mistaken her for a guy.

"Huh! Kabuto…that giant piece of shit…" Kalita growled, "I hate that bastard."

Iruka and Anko looked at each other; perhaps Kabuto and Kalita were siblings? After all, they seemed to have a similar style of speaking.

The bear masked ANBU member took off his mask and sighed, "Kalita…"

This ninja had bright green hair; it hung messily all over his face and over his piercing blue eyes.

"Um…" Iruka mumbled, he hadn't really planned what he was going to say to Kabuto's sibling.

"Shut the fuck up!" Kalita yelled at Iruka, though he hadn't even said anything, "I don't ever wanna see my bastard of a brother ever again yeah! That answer your question!"

Anko's eyes narrowed, "Watch your language bitch."

Kalita smirked and the guy ninjas watched in horror, as a catfight was about to begin.

"Kalita…" The green haired guy mumbled, his hand gripping her shoulder.

"Piss off Scythe…if this little woman wants a fight…she'll get one!"

Anko clenched her fist, how dare she call her little? Anko was obviously older than the cocky teen in front of her.

Scythe stood in between the growling women, "Kalita…this woman has done nothing to you, you're only angry at Kabuto…"

THUD

Kalita sunk her fist into Scythe's stomach, and he fell down onto his knees in agony.

"Heh…thanks Scythe…" she smirked, before sliding her hippo mask back on and disappearing through the trees.

"Um…are you okay?" Iruka asked curiously.

Scythe stood up and grinned, "Yeah…She does this kind of stuff all the time, I'm like her stress reliever or something."

Iruka sweat dropped as he eyed many bruises and cuts Scythe revealed when he stretched and exposed part of his stomach.

"What IS her problem!" Anko asked angrily, still staring at the spot where Kalita had vanished.

Scythe slid his mask back on and rested his hands behind his head, "She has a lot of problems…but her main one is Kabuto…"

Iruka and Anko listened quietly as Scythe explained that Kabuto left the family when he was really little to join Orochimaru.

"Kalita didn't mind at first, but then Kabuto became gay with Orochimaru…well…let's just say she hates gay couple's eh?" Scythe mumbled sadly, "She said Kabuto disgraced their family and Kabuto said he didn't care…and that's about it…"

Iruka sweat dropped, "So…she uses you as a punching bag…just because She's hates her brother…for being gay?"

Scythe nodded and then said, "Well I better go find her…who knows what she's doing right now!"

Izumo and Kotetsu couldn't help overhearing and sweat dropped.

"Hey…make sure we never make out in front of that psycho chick, eh?" Kotetsu whispered.

Izumo nodded and watched as Iruka and Anko followed Scythe over the rooftops.

Kotetsu then looked around and grinned, "No ones here…lets make out now."

Izumo smiled and nodded.


Has the story been good so far? let me know okie?
